217 Zoe Violet
Just after Sean and his party entered the Elf Forest, 277 kilometers away in Palomia, Grand Duke Albert Violet was telling a story to his little daughter Zoe Violet.
This story is very ordinary. It tells the story of a princess from the ocean who accidentally gained the ability to become a human and traveled on land. In the end, she fell in love with a human prince.
At the end of the story, the Grand Duke smiled and said:
"The story ends like this:
The dolphin princess Amelia Tide finally broke through the bottleneck and reached the sanctuary realm, gaining the ability to permanently transform into a human form.
But after entering the sanctuary, she found that her past loves were nothing compared to her strength, so she killed the prince she had secretly loved for many years and returned to the embrace of the sea, and the story ended like this."
Zoe, who was lying on the hospital bed, was immediately dissatisfied:
"Dad, you are lying! The ending of the story is not like this at all!"
The Grand Duke patted Zoe on the head kindly:
"Since you've seen it, why do you still need me to tell it to you?"
"This..." Zoe didn't know how to answer.
"Okay, today's story ends here! You take good care of yourself, and I will come again tomorrow." Archduke Ryan stood up.
"Okay, Dad!" Zoe nodded obediently.
...
Just as Archduke Lane was about to leave, he found a waiter walking in with a letter in his hand:
"Your Majesty, there is an important letter here for you to read."
"Don't you see what I'm doing?" Archduke Ryan said impatiently.
The waiter hurriedly explained: "It's like this. You have personally ordered that any news about His Highness Sean be sent to you as soon as possible. This is a letter written by His Highness Sean himself."
Hearing what the waiter said, the Grand Duke happily said loudly: "Oh? A letter written by Sean himself to me?"
Realizing that he had lost his composure, the Grand Duke coughed twice and took the letter from the waiter.
Zoe, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard their words and sat up from the bed happily, and asked happily:
"It's a letter from Brother Sean? Can I see it? Ahem..."
I don't know whether it was because Zoe was seriously ill or because she sat up suddenly, but Zoe began to cough violently, and the quilt was covered with bright red blood.
Grand Duke Ryan was startled, and hurriedly came to Zoe's side, sending fighting energy into her body to stabilize her injury:
"Just lie down and I'll read it to you later!"
Zoe nodded and got back into bed again.
Grand Duke Ryan sighed, tore open the letter, and slowly read Sean's letter.
...
The first half of Sean's letter talks about his meeting with the envoy from the Sunflower Principality at the dinner party.
Of course, Sean only described the incident in detail and did not make any comments.
Zoe listened carefully and said curiously:
"Dad, will we unite the Sunflower Principality to fight against the Anjou Kingdom?"
Grand Duke Ryan patted Zoe’s little head lovingly:
"Silly boy, even if it's because of your illness, we can't break with the Kingdom of Anjou. If we go to war with the Kingdom of Anjou, Catherine will die, and so will you!"
After Archduke Ryan finished speaking, he continued to look at the second half of the letter.
But when he saw the back, Archduke Ryan's expression became extremely exciting.
In the second half of the letter, Sean described in detail the sale of the dragon egg to Robert and the fact that Robert owed him fifty thousand gold coins.
At the end of the letter, Sean also said that if Robert could not repay the debt, he could "pay back the father's debt to the son"!
Especially for the four words "Father's debt must be repaid by son", Sean used super large fonts, made them bold, centered, underlined, and bordered, for fear that Archduke Ryan wouldn't be able to see them.
Seeing this, Archduke Ryan's expression was very wonderful.
Originally, the Grand Duke thought that Sean would not live long after arriving at the border, so he was always paying attention to Sean's news, hoping to wait until the day Sean died so that he could formally confess to the God of Light.
But I didn't expect Sean to be successful, and even gained the favor of the God of Light, and got a genuine dragon egg!
You know, dragon eggs are a good thing that he all wants!
It seems that when Sean was born, it was not unreasonable for the forest of Palomia to whisper Sean's name.
...
Zoe listened carefully to the content of the entire letter, blinked her big eyes and begged Archduke Ryan:
"Dad, Brother Sean has been driven out of Palomia by you for more than a month. Can you let him come back?"
Grand Duke Ryan wanted to refuse directly, but he hesitated when he saw Zoe's big watery eyes:
"Well... let's do this. I'll write him a reply and see if he's willing to come back."
The waiter heard what the Grand Duke said and hurriedly brought paper and pen.
Then, Grand Duke Ryan sat at the desk in the room and began to reply to Sean:
"Child, when you were born, the forest of Palomia whispered your name - Sean Violet. I watched you grow up day by day and become the embodiment of justice and strength..."
Archduke Ryan wrote a lot of irrelevant things in the letter, but he didn't mention a word about Zoe's request to "let Sean return to Palomia".
After writing the reply, the Grand Duke looked at his little daughter lying on the hospital bed:
“Zoe, is there anything else you want to say to your brother Sean?”
Zoe thought for a moment and took out a goose-yellow handkerchief from the drawer in front of the bed:
"Dad, Brother Sean gave this to me last year. I have always kept it with me. Now you can put it in a letter and bring it to Brother Sean! He should understand what I mean when he sees this handkerchief."
"Okay, my good daughter."
Grand Duke Ryan kissed Zoe's neck, took the handkerchief and put it into the envelope, and then said to the waiter:
"Send this letter to Sean's territory as soon as possible."
"Okay, Your Majesty!" the waiter replied quickly.
"In addition..." Archduke Ryan thought for a while and said:
"Ask Leslie Violet to bring 50,000 gold coins to Robert, and ask him to pay back Sean's debt!
Also, let Robert escort the baby dragon to Palomia. From now on, the baby dragon will belong to the entire family, not Robert alone."
"Understood, Your Majesty!"
After the waiter finished answering, he took the envelope and left.
...
...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sean led the team out of the Elf Forest.
Normally, Sean would level up until five o'clock in the afternoon, but there were important things to do today, so Sean finished his leveling at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Although I practiced leveling for four hours less today, Windsor broke through the silver level. As an elf, Dalia Bladesong is very suitable for jungle combat, so I only practiced leveling for 5 hours today and Sean got 150.
Point experience points.
Compared with the previous leveling efficiency, it has increased by about 50%.
