Chapter 2 Return Voyage
“Elus…”
“Oh? Have you finished your business? How did it go?”
Elus sat by the bedside, calmly looking at the book in her hands… Around this beautiful black-haired girl, an irresistible aura naturally appeared.
However, at this moment, Lonis took a deep breath and said, “No, it’s not finished. What I want to tell Elus is something else…”
“Something else?”
“Yes, can we turn back… and let Princess Cécile and Su Ling return to their hometown? Everyone has been helping us and working very hard…”
After finishing speaking, Lonis didn’t dare to look into Elus’s eyes.
This black-haired girl had asked her to unite her companions, but she herself… was ready to break up the team.
But besides that…
Lonis had no other way.
Because everyone was in a very difficult situation, and even if she comforted her companions, she couldn’t truly make them happy.
The only choice was to let everyone return home, to let everyone rest.
Upon hearing Lonis’s answer, Elus frowned, her red eyes wide open, as if blaming Lonis:
“Idiot Lonis, do you know what consequences your choice will bring?”
“Huh?”
“Not only will we lose the help of our companions, but we will also arrive at the Dulan Islands two weeks later. If Castor discovers our whereabouts, we will have wasted the most precious opportunity.”
“I’m sorry, I…”
Lonis dejectedly lowered her head. At this moment, the silver-haired maid didn’t know what to say. It seemed that silence was the only option.
However, Elus did not continue to blame her, but instead said:
“However, since that is your choice, then we will turn back.”
“Huh? Elus…?”
Lonis blinked her eyes. She thought Elus would choose some other method, and never expected this black-hearted girl to agree with her opinion.
But, in that case…
“Actually, there’s no harm in turning back. If we go directly to the Dulan Islands now, we might have insufficient supplies. Also, didn’t we find some samples in the Underground World? We can take them back for analysis.”
“!”
“However, these are not the most important things… The most important thing is that I trust your luck?”
“Huh? Luck…”
“Yes, although you’ve always been a little idiot, your luck is still very good. Not only do you have a clever princess like me as your master, but you’ve also become a cute girl without any incidents.”
“What kind of good luck is this!”
“If I say it’s good luck, it’s good luck~ In short, our sudden turn back should also disrupt the Trickster Demon’s plan. Let’s do it.”
The ship turned back and headed home.
However, when the ship announced its return, the first person to oppose was not someone unaware like Zhisheng Luo, but Princess Cécile herself!
“Senior Elus, please make a firm decision about the ship’s course. Our goal is to collect the Rainbow Abyss Power. Please do not delay everyone’s progress due to the sentimental feelings of a few individuals.”
“Miss Cécile…”
“Miss Brave, you know too, right? If Castor were to replicate the Power of the Rainbow Abyss, how terrible the situation would be. Therefore, we cannot delay any further, nor can we turn back.”
Princess Cécile said very seriously, and Candelle also nodded behind her… It seemed that Cécile had already mobilized her, and she didn’t want to go back.
However…
“Princess Cécile, don’t worry, it’s not because of you that we want to turn back?”
“W-what?”
“For this return voyage, I naturally have my own considerations, but this is part of the plan and it is not convenient to disclose it at this time~”
Elus smiled enigmatically, and that was the advantage of being a black-hearted girl.
Even if she was being mysterious, others would not suspect that she was bluffing, but instead would listen to her orders with peace of mind.
“I-is that so?”
“Yes, but there won’t be any work for Cécile then. You can visit Ling Li along the way. But remember not to forget the time.”
And so, the ship began its return voyage.
Although the original plan was to take 7 days to return to Insoraia, in fact, with the help of the map and the Ancient Elevator, the girls only spent 4 days to return to the Royal Capital as they wished.
Lush forests, verdant city.
Since the records of history, Insoraia has been a pearl located on the continent, and now, surrounded by numerous plants, this city appears even more vibrant.
…
“Wow, it’s great… these trees have also grown bigger?”
“Alright, we will be docking in the Royal Capital for one day. During this time, there is nothing to do, and everyone can rest and travel on their own?”
“Captain Elus, are you not assigning any work?”
“It’s all small matters, Little Idiot Fox and I can handle it.”
After obtaining Elus’s consent, Cécile immediately rushed back to the Royal Palace.
At the Royal Palace, Cécile would never walk by running… because it would make people think that this princess was rash and would make the people and ministers lose confidence.
But now, Cécile couldn’t care about that anymore.
Because her brother, Ling Li, was currently in extreme danger. Perhaps in the next second, he could be seriously injured and never wake up again.
But Cécile never expected…
“Cécile, why are you back.”
“Huh?!”
Looking at the woman with silver, beautiful hair at the end of the corridor, Cécile was completely stunned.
The other party not only possessed beauty comparable to her own but also a more composed demeanor than a princess, exuding the confidence and elegance of a woman in every move.
Her silver, beautiful hair, under the sunlight, looked magnificent.
And Cécile? Although she was not afraid of anyone, she instinctively flinched at the “woman” in front of her and said:
“Fa… Father?”
“Cécile, how many times have I told you? As royalty of the Kolotia family, your head can be cut off, but your hairstyle cannot be messed up. Your blood can flow, but your boobs cannot be exposed.”
After speaking, Ruo Hui Gong walked forward and tidied Cécile’s messy clothes.
Facing her father’s intimate actions, Cécile blushed a little:
“Um, Father, I…”
“You want to see Ling Li, don’t you? Don’t worry, I’ve infused him with some of my vital energy.”
“Huh?”
“After all, I can’t just abandon my foolish son, can I?”
“Thank you, Father…”
“Mm, no need to thank me. I haven’t fully investigated your incestuous relationship with Ling Li yet. Also, where is that guy Candelle? Hurry up and bring her to me, I need to teach her a good lesson!”
