After a few months of training, Harby's handsome face had become a bit calmer and more weathered. But at this moment, his face was full of malevolence. There was no other reason. The woman he loved was about to marry, but the groom was not him. He had never expected such a result. He had already revealed this to the emperor through his grandfather earlier, and the emperor had not objected. Selina herself had a favorable impression of him. He had wanted to use the Icy Heart Lotus to propose to Selina, but he hadn't expected that such a change would occur.

The price of the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Stone was extremely high, and not just anyone could afford it. A palm-sized voice transmission stone only required a hundred thousand purple coins. This was because refining the Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Stone was extremely difficult. At the very least, it required one to be at the peak of a great alchemist, or even a saint alchemist to be able to refine it.

Alchemy was divided into: Apprentice, Primary Alchemist, Intermediate Alchemist, Advanced Alchemist, Great Alchemist, Sacred Alchemist, and God-level Alchemist. As a support profession, it was extremely difficult to level up alchemy. The number of Holy Alchemists in Cosimo Continent could be counted with one hand. As for the number of Divine Alchemists, it was only in the legends.

The currencies of the Kobold Continent were similar. They were all divided into copper, silver, gold and purple gold, and each currency was exchanged for a hundred gold coins. Purple-gold was a special metal that was found on the Corsica continent. It was a bright purple metal, and because the purple gold was surrounded by gold, it was called purple-gold.

However, Harby's grandfather was the empire's treasurer, and the Darbinit family was one of the Empire's top families, so the cost of buying a sound transmission stone was only a drop in the bucket.

On the sound transmission stone was Harby's personal maid, Roland. Normally, Roland would stay by Harby's side, but this time, Harby had gone out to gain experience. Furthermore, the place where he had to gain experience was the ice plains.

Hearing Roland's words, Harby immediately asked: "What exactly happened?"

"Princess Selina is going to marry Bonan of the Winston family."

"You mean that trash?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

Harby's heart was filled with questions. As one of the top yamen runners in the imperial city, it was only natural for him to know about Bornan. Because the other party was trash, he naturally wouldn't focus his attention on him. Moreover, he was faintly excluded from the upper circles of the empire. Harby instinctively thought that the news was false, because Bornan, the loser, had always been the talk of the upper echelons of the capital. It was impossible for His Majesty and the empress to marry the princess to him.

"It is true, the queen has admitted it openly, and the royal family and the Winstons are preparing for it." Afraid that Harby would not believe him, Roland promised.

If one were to say that he still had some doubts from before, at this moment, Harby was eighty to ninety percent confident.

"Why is this happening?"

"I don't know. Neither the royal family nor the Winston family have explained the reason."

Harby's face was unsightly and his brows were wrinkled. His facial features were somewhat distorted because of this. Slowly, his expression returned to calmness, but a glint flashed through his eyes.

"Let's hurry up and search for the Heart of Ice Lotus. Three days later, regardless of whether or not we find it, we have to rush to the nearest teleportation circle."

Within the palace of the Saxi city, Selina held her mother's left arm in pain as she pleaded, "Imperial Mother, I won't marry that trash!"

"There is no room for discussion on this matter," she said. "You must marry Bonan!"

"I would rather die than marry him."

Looking at her daughter's determined gaze, Isabel's gaze softened. "It's not like you don't know the customs of the continent. Your first husband can only be him. Who told you to throw off your bodyguard and go to that place without permission?"

"Imperial Mother, I will become a joke." Selina was still making her final effort.

"Being rushed back on their wedding night is the biggest joke of all!"

"At most, I'll be unable to marry anyone for the rest of my life."

"Although Bonan can't train, he is after all the eldest son of the Winston clan. After you marry him, the Winston clan will definitely give him the position of nobility. "With your status, you will definitely become the mistress of the Winston clan." Isabelle advised him earnestly.

Selina was not interested in this at all. "Not interested."

"Your father has already spoken to the Marquis of Agad. The Winston family is preparing for this. If you have the guts, go and speak to your father."

The resolution on Selina's face vanished like smoke into thin air, and was replaced with a pleading look, "Mother, you don't want to see me become the laughingstock of the Empire, do you?"

In fact, Isabelle did not want her only daughter to marry a loser like Pernan, but the customs of Cosimo limited her first husband to monsoon. He knew that he couldn't show the slightest bit of sympathy at this point in time. Otherwise, his daughter would definitely be finished. Thus, no matter how much Selina begged, she was not moved.

However, she didn't want her daughter to keep pestering her, so she said, "That Bonan is still in a coma. No one knows when he will wake up. The matter between you and him is based on the premise that he will wake up."

Hearing her mother's words, Selina was stunned at first, but then her face lit up with the joy of discovering a new continent. She immediately said, "Imperial Mother means that if that trash never wakes up, I don't need to marry him. I know what to do."
