Chapter 874: Brainstorming

Khan couldn't help but feel surprised. Monica had always been there for him, supporting him through his harshest times. She had also continuously adjusted her public role to Khan's rising status, filling his gaps and completing him as best as possible, and her statement highlighted another change.

Monica had always possessed more foresight than Khan. She knew what he could and would have become before anyone else. He was nothing short of a King now, so only a Queen could stand at his side, and she would play that role to pull her share of the weight in her relationship.

Khan studied Monica's wise, icy-blue eyes, and his doubts disappeared. He lacked theoretical knowledge, but his insights into the mana were almost unmatched. If the scarlet sparks didn't reveal their secrets, he would beat them down until they did.

"I'm starting to wonder whether you are with me just to get a crown," Khan joked, seizing the hand still resting on his face.
