“As it was told by my fellow Stone Temple priests from the capital, there was only one favor that the Emperor asked the Golden Hero.” “And what could that be?” Simon asked impatiently. “That he would stay by his side and rule the Empire together as Imperial Princess Ann’s husband.” “And he refused that offer?” Simon frowned. “Was the Princess that ugly?” “Hold your tongue, boy,” the priest chuckled. “It is said that the 1st Imperial Princess, Ann Maralict, was the fairest in all the Empire, even now that 20 years have already passed.” “Then, why? He could have lived in plenty with a beautiful wife, he would still be the Golden Hero and had wanted for nothing more if he just accepted the Emperor’s offer!” “Then perhaps, he simply did not love the princess, as well as the kind of live that they offered.” Prince Simon frowned at the old priest. The old man simply smiled at him, his pale gray eyes mostly covered by his fluffy white brows. “Couldn’t he just try it out first?” Simon insisted, making the priest chuckle even more. “Do you know what the seven warriors fought for?” he asked the prince in return. “To be free of the tyrant’s rule!” Simon quickly replied. “Why then, would he be willing to give up this freedom?” the priest replied. “And could one simply ‘try’ a marriage out?”
