Excel untied the Princess.

Princess : (Smilling)Thank You
Excel : Are you okay Princess?
Princess : Yes

Excel saw on top of her head. Layla in the color green. But something was weird the Princess was supposed to be an NPC not a player.

Excel : Wait. You are a player

Later in the Earl's castle

Excel was sitting on the couch waiting for the Earl to arrive. As the Earl came in Excel stood up.

Excel : Wait. Earl Red.
Earl : Oh. I f it ain't Excel

Behind Earl Red were two girls. On his left was the real Princess Layla and on his right was a player Ruby.

Layla : Wait. I know you
Earl : Huh. Daughter you know Sir Excel.
Layla : He was the one who saved me with Sir Damian.

Suddenly, Earl Red hugged Excel. He also started to sob a bit.

Earl : Thank you. Thank you. I can't thank you enough . You saved my precious daughter.

After, his wife's death. Earl Red had only Layla whome he loved. When Layla went missing. He used up all his resources to find her.

[You have completed the Quest Save Princess]
[You have obtained 4,000,000 EXP]
[You can marry Princess Layla]
[Your affinity with Earl Red has increased by 64]
[Your affinity with Princess Layla has increased by 82]

Excel was drooling inside his mind. He could marry Princess Layla. Way back there was poll for the most Beautiful NPC in Dunvir and Surprisingly Princess Layla was in the top 3. Her long green hair, golden eyes and her dress which covered only half of her chest, made her look overwhelming sexy and beautiful.

Earl : Butler. Go bring the rewards for Sir Excel and also double the amount.

Excel started to fly when he heard the word rewards and double. But on the other hand Ruby was a bit jealous. She got a crush on him when he saved her. Excel didn't knows this but Ruby was Number 10 on the Public Rankings. She was also the first ever player to receive the Magic Swordsman Class.

Earl : Excel. Will you marry my daughter ?

Suddenly, both Excel and Layla started to blush. Marrying in Dunvir was huge. To marry an NPC the affinity with NPC should be above 80. Currently with Layla, Excel had about 82 affinity. After, marriage they could have sex.

Excel :Sorry. But no..
Earl : Why? Don't you love my daughter.
Excel : I like her. But the thing is I am still weak. Once, I marry her I am scared that I won't be able to protect her.

It was pretty mature sentence coming from an 18 year old. Excel was face palming in his mind. But Earl Red somehow understood Excel.

Layla : It's fine father. I will wait.

Finally, all of them sat down. Earl Red told that he used Ruby as fake Layla and capture them. Ruby was strong but the fact that they were with Lizardmen made it hard for her to escape. After their conversation 3 butlers entered the room.

[You have obtained 20,000,000 gold.]
[You have obtained Royal Knight Armour Set]
[You have obtained Royal Necklace]
[You have obtained Xiphos.]

As soon as Excel touched Xiphos it started glowing.

It was like a jackpot. Excel got his hands on the strongest weapon in game. But the thing was that he couldn't use it now.

Excel : Earl Red. Why are you giving this to me ?

Earl Red :(laughing) Not Earl Red but father.

Layla : (annoyed) Father

Earl Red : Sorry. I think you are fit for Xiphos. It has been passed down by generations. Also it looks like you were meant to use it.

Excel : I think you should keep it for now. I think I will use it later.

Earl Red : As you wish. But I have one request.

Excel : Yes. What is it ?

Earl Red : You will be the Duke. I don't want my future son in law to be called a commoner.

Excel accepted Earl Red's offer and became a Duke. Moreover he also got two new stats Royalty and Courage. He also got the title Windston's Hero. This generated a new stat Justice. As Excel was about to leave Layla have him a kiss in secret.

It's not like only Excel got rewards. Ruby was able to receive further training from Earl Red. She later became the the holder of the Second Unique class Magic Knight. She always believed that Excel was her benefactor.

The whole received the notification. But Excel ignored the notification. The next few days he grinded in the Lizardmen Village. He was able to reach level 261 while Pagos reached 290. Savra reached level 100.
