They all call me Great Master-Chapter 436 433 Marinda’s Ambition!
Marinda certainly knew what Arthur was talking about.
After dawn, she would begin the ritual for inheriting the title of Earl of Kemir.
The whole process was not complicated, roughly divided into two parts.
The first part was for the representative of the Countess of South Los to present her with a sword and honor her title.
The key was the second part—
The banquet!
As per the proper procedure, the banquet would start at noon and continue until evening.
Though it was a lengthy affair, for most people it was a treat, as there were plenty of opportunities to foster closer relationships during such a long time.
Of course, there had to be rooms prepared for the drunk and weary guests during the event.
And the food and music could not stop.
They had to be available at all times.
The food had to be exquisite and delicious.

The music had to be pleasant to the ear.
All these were no problem.
For the wealthy Marinda, these were trifles too small to mention.
What really troubled Marinda was…
The opening dance!
As the successor to the title, she was the absolute protagonist of the banquet.
She had to dance with her 'lover' Arthur.
For about 3 minutes!
This was not like the 'Lady of the Eternal Night's salon'; she and Arthur could not just give a cursory performance—they had to actually dance in front of everyone.
Just thinking about that scenario made this lady stiff all over, goosebumps rising, her stomach instinctively cramping, and a sense of nausea rushing to her head.
Seeing this, Arthur shouted—
"If you vomit in my house, it's 200 Gold Coins!"
Phew!
Marinda took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit.
Then, the lady raised her hand to give the middle finger.
"I'm sure your family must have dragon Bloodline!"
The lady commented.
As everyone knows, dragons are greedy and have a love for gold and jewels.
No!
It's no longer love.
It's some kind of obsession.
In the early Imperial Age, there were sayings like 'a dragon without a bed of Gold Coins doesn't even have the right to court'.
As for Arthur?
In the lady's eyes, sometimes he was just like a dragon.
Arthur just rolled his eyes.
Don't compare me to those big reptiles; I am a true descendant of dragons!
The young 'Spirit Medium' thought to himself, while his words once again stabbed at Marinda's heart—
"Are you sure you vomiting at the banquet would be okay?
On such an important day, if you lose face...
You'll become the biggest joke in the South Los Nobility Circle in nearly ten years, and those Nobles will definitely tell their children 'never learn from that barbarian and ignorant woman Caesar, who, because of stupidity and gluttony, vomited at her own title inheritance banquet'!"
Arthur described in an exaggerated tone.
Marinda didn't refute.
Because the lady knew that if such a thing really happened, the Nobles would definitely do just that.
Even, they'd go further overboard.
So—
Phew!
Marinda took another deep breath, her expression growing serious; the earnestness appearing in her deep blue eyes made even Arthur unconsciously sit up straighter.
"Arthur, what do you think of hunting attire?"
Huh?
Hunting attire?
I'll sit here and watch!
Almost the moment Marinda's words left her mouth, Arthur guessed what the woman in front of him intended to say.
Right away he shook his head vigorously, but before Arthur could speak, the lady quickened her pace.
"How do you like my hunting attire?
Would you mind if I tailor one especially for you?
Don't worry, it's very clean; I've only worn it once."
And I'll definitely make it in time!
"Do you prefer black, khaki, or gray?"
As Marinda spoke, Arthur's middle finger had already shot up.
"Some things only happen once or countless times.
So...
Stop deluding yourself!
"Do you think you can break through the bottom line of South Los' 'Spirit Medium'?"
Arthur sneered.
Similarly, Marinda sneered too.
"If I had the 'Cat Faction' or 'Cat Hole' Entry or Ascend Step Charts in my hands and you still refused, then talk to me about so-called bottom lines!"
The lady crossed her arms and looked at Arthur as if to confirm that the bottom line of a South Los 'Spirit Medium' was actually non-existent.
In response, Arthur disagreed.
"I'm telling you it's impossible! Even if I, Arthur Kredos, were to starve myself, I wouldn't wear your clothes for the 'Cat Faction' or 'Cat Hole' Entry or Ascend Step Charts!"
Arthur's words were forceful and emphatic.
Marinda, on the other hand, was all smiles.
This lady swore, she would find a 'Cat Faction' Entry or Ascend Step Chart at all costs.
Of course, it would be best if it were from 'Cat Hole'.
Then...
Hunting attire?
Ha, she had dresses too.
Although not many, just one.
But that would be enough.
'Indeed, a woman with a strong desire for revenge!' thought Arthur to himself.
He knew exactly why Marinda would make such a demand.
It was simply retaliation for hitting him where it hurt.
But was he not speaking the truth?
If it was the truth, couldn't he say it?
The young 'Spirit Medium' thought to himself, as his words continued to ring out—
"You might as well get ready for 'morning sickness' then!
Compared to puking for no good reason, 'morning sickness' would certainly be more well-received.
I can assure you, all the guests will be wide-eyed searching for every detail, all ears not wanting to miss a single word."
"Ha, and what about ten months later?
Or rather, are you confident you can deceive the guests present?"
Marinda scoffed again.
This time it was about inheritance, totally different from the salon.
In the salon, she could pretend to have 'morning sickness.'
Later, she could say it was a misunderstanding.
But at the ritual for the inheritance, the guests would be of a different caliber altogether.
No need to mention others, just the Female Swordmaster representing the Countess herself was an eager beaver; if she pretended to have morning sickness, that woman would surely offer eager assistance.
With her capability, even without medical knowledge, she would be able to sense something amiss.
At that time, it would be Marinda who became the laughingstock.
"What's so hard about that?
You're so madly in love with me that you think you must bear me a child to truly keep me by your side. As long as you express this to the Female Swordmaster, she will gladly help. In fact, if you speak to her in advance, she might even play along.
And as for ten months later?
We're buying time with space here.
We have to trust in the wisdom of future generations."
Arthur said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
He was now deeply entwined with Marinda.
Presently, it's Shinan Town, coastal transportation.
And in the future, there would be oceanic transportation and island management.
Arthur was very aware that he and Marinda were inseparable.
So, jest when it's time to jest, sting when it's time to sting, but problems still need to be resolved.
"Ha, you paint me as if I were a maiden blinded by love," Marinda retorted.
But in the next moment, the lady took the pipe out of her mouth and inhaled deeply, saying—
"Arthur, are you ready to become a father?"
