Chapter 296 Allen's Plan For The First Princess And Second Prince
Allen had already planned to ally with the second prince so that their alliance would have the support of the Mage's Association and the military forces of the kingdom.
The only problem left was the support of the majority of the nobles of the Gaia Kingdom. In terms of that support, the first prince surpassed the second prince.
Allen was tempted to mind control the king so that Alisceon and Reid would receive the support of the nobles under the king. But he was well aware that he couldn't do that lest he attracts the attention of Gaia early on.
Since the king was the king of the Gaia Kingdom, it was obvious that he received the support and blessing of Gaia. There was a high chance that the king was well aware of mind magic, so to prevent such a thing from happening, he asked Gaia to give him a blessing regarding that.
So even if Allen was able to bypass the defenses of the blessing that was placed on the king's mind and, therefore, mind control the king, he was certain that Gaia would be alerted after he destroyed her blessing.
It was similar to how Allen would be notified if the telepathy chat group that he granted to his classmates was destroyed or tampered with by a third party. It was unlikely for Gaia to not place a failsafe on the blessing that she granted to the king of Gaia.
Because of that, Allen was left with no choice but to remove such thoughts from his head.
Although, he could use his <[Absolute Order]> authority to remove the blessing on the king's mind without alerting Gaia. But it would only delay it unless he used his authority again to remove the memories of Gaia which would also reveal some flaws to the Heretic Gods that Gaia had allied with.
But even if he couldn't mind controlling the king, Allen still had a plan in mind on how he could persuade the king to support Alisceon and Reid.
Allen could easily persuade the king since he only need to prove to the king that supporting Alisceon would benefit the kingdom the most.
But even with his support as the Supreme Mage, it would still be difficult to persuade the king since the king didn't even show his support to the second prince despite the second prince having the support of the Ultimate Knight.
Because of that, Allen was likely to persuade the king to support Alisceon when he proposed to the king that Alisceon and Reid would have an alliance between them. And in that alliance, the Mage's Association and the Knight Order, along with the Supreme Mage and Ultimate Knight, would form an alliance.
With that alliance, the unity within the forces of the king would become much stronger. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the whole combatant forces within the kingdom were within the control of Alisceon and Reid.
It was unlikely for the king to refuse to support Alisceon and Reid as long as the two of them allied. Even if the king still refused, Allen would still use his <Supreme Negotiator> talent to further prove to the king that supporting the alliance between Alisceon and Reid would be the wisest choice he had ever made in his lifetime.
Of course, the firmest alliance that didn't have many holes would be an arranged marriage.
But even if it's an arranged marriage, the husband and wife must at least love each other or agree with each other. Or else, the arranged marriage would backfire as it would only motivate the two of them to be irreconcilable, which would worsen their relationship with each other that was even worse than before they had an arranged marriage.
To prevent that from happening, Allen had to make Alisceon agree to the arranged marriage. He only needed Alisceon to agree since he was confident that Reid wouldn't refuse such an excellent outcome for him.
The only problem left was to persuade Alisceon that Reid was the best husband candidate for her.
Allen had already seen through Reid's true personality just like what he did to the first prince, which was to read their memories and their inner thoughts and motives during those memories.
Compared to the first prince, the second prince was the better choice to become Alisceon's husband. And Reid's personality wouldn't allow Alisceon to be in harm's way, even at the cost of his life.
Allen had found out before that Reid was a simp, like his good friend from his home world, who was known as the Supreme Matchmaker.
Whatever Reid might have to do even at the cost of his life, as long as it would make Alisceon love him, he would without a doubt risk his life to earn her affection.
To be honest, that kind of personality was quite pathetic since most women didn't like that type of personality. Not only would the majority of women not like a simp, but it was also pathetic in the sense that there was a high chance that the simp's feelings towards the person he was simping for didn't recognize his feelings. In other words, most of the cases of males or females having simp personalities would result in a one-sided love relationship.
But that type of man would work for Alisceon since she was someone who was neglected by her family. So having someone who loved her with all his life would be a suitable husband candidate for her.
Allen had already noticed that Alisceon often looked at him with the eyes of someone who looked toward their crush. Because he had saved Alisceon before, she had gratitude towards him that was converted into admiration, which she thought was love.
Well, in the long run, it would pose a problem for Allen if Alisceon loved him since he didn't have any plans to become Alisceon's lover.
Of course, if it's familial love, then Allen wouldn't mind showering Alisceon with it. But if it's erotic love, then he wouldn't be able to do that to a girl he recognized as his little sister.
So to prevent more problems in the future as well as having someone to replace him, Allen had to entrust Alisceon to Reid since he had already recognized Reid as a worthy husband candidate for his little sister.
That would lead to the problem where Alisceon needed to recognize Reid as her husband's candidate, which wasn't that much of a problem to Allen. After all, Allen was someone scheming enough to earn Alisceon's trust, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to do it again.
Even if Allen schemed against Alisceon, he didn't do it for his selfishness but for her good. Allen didn't plan on staying in this world for too long, and since he didn't plan on marrying Alisceon, it was best for Alisceon to forget his love for him, and instead, it was best for Alisceon to love someone who truly loved her.
Allen might scheme again, but it was all for the sake of Alisceon's well-being. He wouldn't do anything that would endanger her life.
That was why he even bothered to see through Reid's true personality since he didn't want to entrust Alisceon to someone who wasn't worthy of Alisceon's love.
After all, if he didn't love Alisceon and just treated her as his tool and not his little sister, he would have just chosen anyone to entrust Alisceon to. And that carelessness might result in Alisceon being entrusted into the wrong hands which were unacceptable for Allen.
Since he loved Alisceon, he would do what was best for her. Even if she didn't agree at first, he would let her realize that what he chose for her was the best.
As with the Supreme Order, if Allen's choice wasn't the best even when he deemed that choice as the best, then all of the other choices were the worst!
Allen's love for Alisceon was genuine as he truly treated her as his little sister. Although he planned to hold an arranged marriage for both Alisceon and Reid, he wouldn't continue with that plan if Alisceon didn't like it.
But if Alisceon didn't hate Reid and had a good impression of him, then he would continue with his plan. And last time he checked, Alisceon had a good impression of Reid. After all, before Allen had come into Alisceon's life, only Reid was the one who treated her kindly aside from her late mother.
In fact, if Allen didn't interfere with Alisceon's life and she wasn't fated to die, it was likely that Alisceon was Reid's fated lover. Allen was well aware of that since as the Supreme Order, he was also the Supreme Matchmaker.
Because of his identity as the Supreme Matchmaker, Allen felt that it was his responsibility to matchmake Alisceon and Reid with each other. After all, Alisceon and Reid were fated with each other, so it wouldn't pose a problem if he suggested an arranged marriage for the two of them.
With that plan in mind, Allen waited for the Monthly Royal Gathering. Without a doubt, he has the upper hand in this gathering with the plans he had concocted!
