Conor was stunned by Kayden’s response and then found himself laughing. This boy reminded him of his youth, he had the same thoughts. Fortunately, it worked out and he was in the position he was in now. In a way, this was the perfect answer to your question.
"Your majesty, forgive my boldness, but I ask that you allow me to speak for a few seconds," Kayden raised his voice to a Monarch with extreme courage. In the entire stand, none would have that courage.
Even in the royal family, those with the courage to do this were no more than 10 heads. Conor was very approachable and calm, but his ninth-realm aura caused ridiculous pressure on the mind of anyone below his realm. His voice struck a primal fear and a desire to bow in even the strongest of men.
The problem was, that Kayden didn’t feel even an ounce of that pressure. Not even Merlin could pressure him, who would have thought a mere mortal who was light years behind the God?
"Speak, your previous answer pleased me enough," Kayden had already thought of this speech before and it was rehearsed in his mind.
"Six months ago, I met someone who I consider my soulmate. I still don’t know her feelings, but slowly I fell in love with her way of talking, happy with her advances, the way she likes to eat fish and seafood, and the way she loves to paint her fingernails in different colors. or tie your hair up when you’re angry about something."
Each sentence from Kayden made Triz blush even more. She had no idea that Kayden had paid so much attention to her. His face revealed to everyone who Kayden was talking about. Conor’s mood immediately turned sour.
"I’m not someone who has a lot of riches, especially considering that the person I love has the universe handed to them on a platter. That’s why I had to take a risk and come to this test. If I want to sell this invitation, I may be able to reach high realms just with the wealth it would provide me, but... no wealth in this universe would be great enough to suppress the lack of your company."
Kayden knelt in the heavens and his hands were a ring beautifully crafted in wood with runes to increase its size and provide greater comfort. The jewel in the center was a large drop of water, this was the ring Han wore when he was married. Han’s letter stated the place where she was buried and asked that Kayden not let her die underground.
"That was the ring my father used. His wife died centuries before him and even after so long, he never looked at another woman, because as he taught me, a man only loves once. I apologize for the quality of the ring, but what it has means more than any wealth."
Every woman’s heart in that stadium was beating erratically. For one crazy moment, they imagined themselves in this situation. Even Rafaela was jealous of her daughter. It seemed like a scene prophesied by soothsayers that would be painted throughout history.
Something that would happen. Over the next few years, films and stories inspired by this moment would begin to appear by the thousands. Even the men were moved by this moment. Many there wondered what they had been looking for until today, changing women every few months.
"I offer this invitation to the love of my life. Triz, do you want to start a romantic relationship with me?" Conor would get up from his chair and put Kayden in his place. All this small talk wasn’t enough to win his approval.
Unfortunately for him, his wife had a bigger say in the relationship than he did and with just a good pinch on his arm, he sat meekly in the chair with a pout that didn’t befit an emperor.
"Daughter, let’s not interrupt ourselves on this matter. Go down there and give your answer or just stay here and deny the boy’s request." Conor just sulked without saying anything. Some battles weren’t worth fighting.
For a few seconds, there was only silence. Everyone started to think that Kayden had been rejected. The situation escalated from strong happy emotions to sadness. Such a beautiful speech only to be rejected.
Triz appeared in the skies floating. Not everyone had seen her, but even those who had seen her a few times lost their breath. The woman’s hair flew freely in the wind and the moonlight fell on her face, causing a feeling of divine appearance. She slowly lowered herself until she was facing Kayden.
"I... accept, Kayden", his speech came out strange and in a thin voice. Plus, she couldn’t look Kayden in the eye and her face was like a pepper. Still, she extended her finger to Kayden.
The boy passed the ring over Triz’s little finger. It was a little rough considering the quality of the materials she used, but nothing that would stop her from using it. Kayden’s hand didn’t leave hers and slowly intertwined with her fingers. Calmly, he moved his other hand to Triz’s chin and made her look into his eyes. In hers, there was a mixture of emotions, in Kayden’s, there was tranquility and calm.
"Can I?" Your question was to finalize the process of starting a relationship. Triz was visibly nervous but still nodded. When Kayden crashed his lips to hers, the entire stand roared in celebration. Even some firecrackers were released into the air, almost as if this had been the main presentation of the entire test of valor. Kayden and Triz stared at each other in the sky for a few seconds, lost in thought.
"I am happy."
"A successfully orchestrated plan." Two different thoughts for the same situation.
The two began to climb towards the area reserved for the royal family. His ascent was accompanied by thousands of applause and whistles. Once Kayden got up there, he was greeted by some cheers of support.

"Hey! You little shit, didn’t you tell me you didn’t have plans with my sister? Explain yourself now!" Marco shouted at Kayden directly. Kayden didn’t have time to respond, as Helena placed a rear naked choke on Marco.
"Shut up, you retard. Welcome to the family, Kayden." Very different from any noble family, the elven family was very united and had good personal relationships, all because Conor was raised without any privileges. Conor was someone who was born out of nowhere on an abandoned planet with no resources even to eat. His story was unique and all the situations he went through meant that the arrogance and ego that nobles normally had did not exist in him. He passed these qualities on to his family members.
"Kayden," Conor said in a dark tone. His aura and killing intent escaped a little and caused the surroundings to automatically freeze. "I hope you don’t make a mistake with Triz."
"Don’t worry, Your Majesty. It won’t happen," Kayden replied calmly and without any issue with the emperor’s aura. Over the next few minutes, Kayden was introduced to some of the royal family. The conversation was flowing normally, at least until an old man appeared in the center of the place. He had no presence and didn’t even make any noise. He didn’t need it, for in the end he was a God and his mere presence would do the job.
Everyone automatically knelt. Only Triz, Kayden, and the Elf Monarch remained standing, only the challengers had that right. Merlin remained silent for a few seconds while organizing the situation. Instantly later, eight more people appeared in the room, each of them with different realms and different characteristics. Kayden didn’t know any of them, but Merlin’s next sentence explained the situation.
"The room will open in a few minutes," he just said, and Kayden’s vision changed completely. He found himself in space, but... something was wrong. His hair was standing on end and his instincts were telling him to run.
After searching for a bit, he saw a small black orb a few kilometers away that was pulsing. For every pulse of his, the surrounding space seemed to bend and propagate as if it were a wave, it was something completely strange to observe.
"All ten members are already here, if any of you want to give up, now is the time," Merlin waited a few seconds while the ten people selected for the room rethought their actions. In the end, none of them gave up.
"Close your eyes with mana and disable your spiritual senses as much as you can. If they don’t do this, they will probably be killed", Kayden did as God ordered and felt some kind of clothing covering his entire head.
For a few minutes, nothing happened, but suddenly Kayden felt something ridiculous, the same feeling as when he was inside the high-density room appeared in his body, but there was a difference...
