After learning that Anrokuzan had been killed, Sara excitedly threw herself into Takuya's arms.
Takuya looked at Sara and hugged her as well.
"Sara, your people are still waiting outside."
"Let's go out first."
Takuya chuckled.
"Um."
Sara nodded obediently.
Then she followed Takuya outside the factory.
Nearly a thousand people from the Kingdom of Loran were already waiting. When they saw Sara and Takuya coming out, they immediately knelt on the ground.
"Long live Lady Sara!"
"Thank you, Lady Sara, for saving us!"
"Your Majesty Sara, thank you so much."
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Please, everyone," Sara said, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I didn't do much. If you want to thank someone, thank Takuya."
"If it weren't for Takuya, I don't know what Loran would be like now."
"Takuya-sama, thank you so much."
Sarai, Masako, and others thanked Takuya.
"It's fine," Takuya replied with a smile. "The reason I did this is because your queen promised to reward me well."
Feeling Takuya's fiery gaze, Sara lowered her head in embarrassment. With that shy look, anyone could tell what was going on.
"Sara-sama is at the age where she should get married," Sarai said.
"Yes, Sara-sama and Takuya-sama seem to be a good match."
"Even if the Queen were still alive, she would surely agree to this marriage."
Everyone spoke eagerly, and Sara's face turned redder with each word. She felt embarrassed but not angry at their teasing.
"Did you hear that?" Takuya whispered in Sara's ear. "The people's opinions cannot be ignored."
Feeling his breath on her ear, Sara felt her body go weak and could no longer stand. Takuya quickly picked her up in a princess carry.
"Let's go inside."
Under the envious eyes of everyone, Takuya carried Sara back to the tower. He placed her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
"Where are you going?" Sara asked hurriedly as she watched Takuya turn to leave.
"Are you tired? Get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow."
Hearing his words, Sara felt a sweet sensation she had never experienced before. She had thought that since she agreed to his request, he would be eager to take advantage of her.
But instead, he was thoughtful.
"You must be more tired than I am. Come and sleep with me," Sara said, shifting aside.
This time, Takuya didn't refuse. Lying on the bed, holding Sara in his arms, he fell into a deep sleep.
One month later, with Sara's help, Takuya successfully sealed the Dragon Vein into his body. As he thought, without Sara's help, trying to forcefully seal the Dragon Vein would have torn him apart instantly.
Fortunately, the end result was good. After obtaining the Dragon Vein, Takuya did not let go of the young and lively new queen of Loran. In the presence of the people of Loran, Takuya and Sara held a grand wedding. Sara also became Takuya's wife.
Looking at Sara lying on the bed, at his mercy, Takuya did not hesitate. In the bedroom symbolizing the queen's noble status, he passionately claimed her.
[Ding!]
[Marry Sara and receive reward: natural energy rapid transfer!]
[Ding!]
[Love with wife Sara: obtain reward | Dragon Vein Energy +1!]
Hearing the system prompt, Takuya's face showed excitement. This time, the system's rewards were exceptionally generous.
First, natural energy rapid transfer. This ability allowed the quick combination of natural energy and Chakra to create senjutsu Chakra instantly, without expending any energy. From now on, Takuya no longer had to calm down to create senjutsu Chakra. The Dragon Vein's energy and Chakra in his body could instantly combine, providing him with a steady stream of senjutsu Chakra.
Second, the reward of Dragon Vein Energy +1. Even if it was only a small increase, given the vast base of the Dragon Vein, it was still enormous. This reward could be obtained daily, ensuring he would never lack natural energy, even if he sealed the Ten-Tails or his Chakra continued to grow endlessly.
In summary, Takuya felt his gains this time were outrageous.
At that moment, Sara woke up. Seeing the joy on Takuya's face, she also felt happy.
"Takuya, I'll go back to Konoha with you," Sara whispered, lying in his arms.
Over the past month, she had learned Takuya's true identity. She never expected her husband was a powerful shinobi of Konoha.
"Of course, you can come back with me," Takuya replied. "But what about Loran?"
"Now that Loran has lost its Dragon Vein, the city will lose power. The desert environment is worsening, so I'll ask everyone to move out."
Sara whispered, choosing Takuya over Loran.
"Then let them come to Konoha," Takuya said calmly.
The total population of Loran was less than a few thousand. Even if they all moved to Konoha, it wouldn't have much impact.
"Really? That's great!" Sara said excitedly.
In her heart, she had felt guilty for not abiding by her mother's wish to protect Loran. But it was wonderful if the people of Loran could live in Konoha, where conditions were much better.
Under Takuya's arrangement, Sara led the people of Loran towards Konoha. Although they could no longer call themselves Loran people, no one complained. Given the chance, who would want to live in a desert?
