Chapter 40 Dialogue Between Men
And so, under the hospitality of the King of Ruo Hui Gong, the girls enjoyed a delicious feast.
The food from the Kingdom of Ming was top-notch and fresh. The deliciousness that lingered between their lips and teeth was simply comparable to the feeling of not having sex for a week and then being played with by Elus for an hour!
Well, perhaps such a description is a bit strange.
But for Lonis, she truly tasted the beauty of fine food.
What about her other companions? For example, Bai Ye and Candelle were also served special lunches.
Bai Ye was originally an automaton, so she could actually digest things like batteries and magic gemstones… Therefore, her exclusive delicious meal was a set of battery crystals.
Although the portion of each piece was not large, the batteries were pan-fried to a crispy exterior and tender interior. If you took a bite, you could taste the plasma inside.
“Wow… amazing, this is the first time I’ve eaten food like this.”
“There’s plenty more, don’t be shy, everyone.”
“Do I have a special meal too?”
“Of course, everyone has a share.”
And Candelle’s lunch was fresh blood.
These were all voluntarily donated by pure virgins. Some of them were made into a small platter of spicy and sour blood curd, while more retained the taste of blood and were mixed with ice to create a drink called Bloody Mary.
…
“Wow! It’s delicious! It’s… incredibly delicious.”
“Mm, Candelle, you did well! Your determination to confront Castor this time, and your efforts along the way, have proven your resolve, haven’t they?”
Gazing at Candelle, who was drinking blood, Ruo Hui Gong smiled faintly.
“!”
“So from today onwards, you are a member of the Kolotia Royal Family. Your name will be inscribed in the family genealogy and passed down forever.”
…
Perhaps for others, this was not an outstanding honor.
But don’t forget, for what reason did Candelle initiate the war in the first place… she just wanted her family to be reunited and live together without worry.
And now, King Ruo Hui Gong’s promise not only fulfilled Candelle’s wish but also meant that the sin Candelle committed for starting the war had been atoned for.
Then…
“R-really? I’m finally, acknowledged…”
“Can-Candelle sister? Father! Candelle fainted.”
Cécile was startled. Candelle beside her collapsed onto the table like a broken kite.
Ruo Hui Gong also smiled bitterly and sighed,
“Mm… it’s nothing serious, she’ll be fine after a little rest. In the past, her mother also had this kind of illness. It’s probably a hereditary disease called excitable syncope.”
“Oh…”
“Alas, speaking of which, this makes me feel a bit sorry for your mother again? At that time, I was not skilled enough and was captured by the Vampire Queen…”
“Ah, this is not your fault, Your Highness. Because there was no other way? And I also like Candelle very much. I feel it’s great to have such a sister.”
Cécile, with a gentle smile, helped Candelle to a chair.
Seeing this family, Lonis also genuinely felt envious.
Her own parents and family had passed away a thousand years ago and could not be resurrected at all… But if Elus also had family to accompany her, that would be a very happy thing too?
Because, in her memory…
That old royal couple were also very good people.
Although the old king appeared somewhat aged and his mind seemed a bit muddled, on crucial matters, he always made the most accurate decisions and trusted herself completely.
As long as it was something entrusted to her, he would not inquire about it at all. It could be said that he truly regarded her as the next King.
And the Queen was also very gentle, handling the royal family’s personnel matters very well.
Although the Queen was very old, her features still revealed the beauty of her youth – Her Highness seemed to possess the bloodline of the Kolotia family. Her silver hair remained very soft all the time, as beautiful as a young girl.
Come to think of it, it’s quite embarrassing.
It was because Lonis saw how beautiful the Queen was at that time, that even without meeting “Princess Runis,” she had already regarded her as her future wife in her heart and vowed to marry only her.
Now Elus has black hair and she has silver hair, it can only be said that it’s fate…
…
(Wait, it seems that it’s not just fate… but rather, I can only defeat Castor through such means.)
…
Lonis was stunned. She suddenly remembered what happened in the Land of Eternity.
She remembered having a dream. In the dream, she was a legitimate Hero, but she didn’t seem to be Castor’s opponent… Because compared to the opponent who had prepared for a thousand years, she had only practiced for 100 years at most.
In that case…
…
“Hero Lonis, it seems you have some questions you want to ask me?”
Sensing Lonis’s expression, Ruo Hui Gong smiled faintly and looked at her calmly.
Upon seeing his eyes, Lonis understood… Ruo Hui Gong was indeed a direct descendant of the Kolotia Royal Family. He must know some inside information.
In the past, the reason he had been avoiding the girls and preventing Castor from copying the power of the Rainbow Abyss was one factor. But the more crucial reason was probably that he couldn’t bear to deceive the girls, right?
So…
“Your Highness Ruo Hui Gong, you knew about Trickster Demon’s plan long ago?”
“No, it’s not like I knew early on. Rather, when you resurrected from the Land of Eternity, Princess Alice told me.”
“!”
“Because, we had to consider the worst-case scenario… At that time, I went to the Temple of Clarity. Although it was to visit the Temple of Clarity, the more important matter was that I wanted to see you and know if you had the potential to save this world.”
“Uh? Then, then doesn’t that mean…”
…
Lonis was startled. When she was at C. Academy, let alone obtaining the power of the Rainbow Abyss, even her relationship with Elus was a mess.
At that time, because she and Elus had a falling out, they often didn’t get along well. Such herself must have made King Ruo Hui Gong laugh?
However…
…
“Mm, it exceeded my expectations. You already showed a considerable amount of potential at that time, so I was relieved. Therefore, I also decided not to interfere too much with your matters and let you decide your own path.”
“H-how could that be? My power was so weak back then, and my personality was so strange. Wasn’t I a complete disaster?”
Lonis shook her head frantically, never expecting Ruo Hui Gong to praise her.
But Ruo Hui Gong continued to look at her, speaking earnestly as if it were a conversation between men,
“Heroine, this is your strength, and also Castor’s limitation?”
“Uh?”
“In this world, strength is indeed indispensable. But strength alone is far from enough, isn’t it?”
“!”
“In fact, as a Hero, you don’t need power at all. Instead, you can unite people who have power… Make everyone like you, make everyone affectionate towards you. This is your most precious quality and advantage!”
Wearing a beautiful evening gown, Ruo Hui Gong said so.
