Sean was speechless for a moment.
I still remember this sentence...I said it unintentionally when we first met each other in the small town.
Because I didn't have any ability at that time, but I could see the other party's condition through my vision. I just made up an excuse to fool them, and I still remember it now.
"When did this happen?"
It’s been a long time, at least in Sean’s mind.
I never thought that this sentence was the reason for the faint floral scent on Lucille when I saw her again!
"That has nothing to do with this matter. I want to ask you the real question: Are you really the son of that country baron?"
"Even you have begun to doubt this question. Didn't I say before that I am not your mentor's son? The name I really inherited from my father is Sean Weigel, not anything else!" Sean confirmed again.
But Lucille still had a look of "doubt!" on her head.
"You weren't lying to me when you told me outside the library?"
"I didn't lie to you."
"real?"
"Absolutely true."
Sean didn't understand why Lucille was so obsessed with this. No matter what her identity was, it wouldn't affect their current relationship. Why bother with it so much?
After Sean's repeated affirmations, Lucille still had some doubts, but she finally calmed down...
"Okay then. I'll go check out the town where we met before."
"Ah??? There's nothing there, why go there!" The other party's words made Sean even more confused.
Today, all that remains of the small town of Telemian is the dilapidated house, apart from the immovable cemetery of the Weigel family. It is probably being used by someone now. I wonder if those cemeteries are still there.
The old butler at that time, Harry Burke, was a nostalgic and loyal man. He said at the time that he would continue to pay a sum of money to let the people who stayed in the town clean the tombstones every year, and that was all.
Then……
There's nothing else.
"There's nothing left."
"Then I'll go to your later city, Oro City. I'll probably find some people who know about your childhood." This time, Lucille was actually interested in her own childhood.
"Teacher, why are you doing this? No matter what my identity is, it doesn't change our relationship. You are still my mentor..."
"It's different." Lucille said suddenly.
“What’s the difference?”
"If you are truly the child of my mentor, then I will follow you forever. Whether you return to your empire or become anyone in the future, I will follow you! But if you are not, let's stick to what we agreed on before. I will continue my journey after this incident."
???
There was suddenly a question mark above my head.
"Wait, you mean if I admit this identity you will agree to follow me?"
Why didn't he put forward this condition before? Sean really wanted Lucille to be by his side. Firstly, it was because of their up-and-down master-disciple relationship, and secondly, the other party's strength was indeed strong. If they were in Jagun later, she alone would be able to intimidate many people!
"It's too late."
"Oh, why?" Looking at Lucille's serious expression.
"That's my promise."
In the end, I just gave such a simple answer...
After leaving the other person's room and coming back, Frelia asked about the two of them. In fact, a smart person like her knew what the two were talking about without asking, and Sean just told the other party that if Lucille returned, he would leave alone.
"I'm afraid this isn't a good idea. Why don't you ask your mentor to go back with you for a while?"
"how?"
"The news of the Kserk Palace is likely to spread to Jagun, and even other countries. If you take Lucille back with you, it means you have won over the witch, and others will not dare to covet her. But if she leaves alone, she will probably be harassed by more people, and they may even bring up her past affairs."
Frelia told Sean her opinion...
It was only then that Sean suddenly realized the purpose of today's dinner. He was probably planning to have it for Lucille besides himself.
Old fox.
In just over twenty years, the previously unknown Ali Williams has become so cunning.
For now, the great alchemist Rachel seems to be a little devastated... Although Sean thinks she will be fine after a while, it is not so easy to repair the shattered dream that she has pursued for many years.
It’s hard to say whether Rachel will be the same as before in the future.
So they need new strong people to join...
I deliberately asked about Lucille's attitude just to hear her decision.
Every country likes such a strong person. Before declaring allegiance, or perhaps even after declaring allegiance, everyone can try to change.
Ali just made this attempt, he didn't care what would happen next!
If Lucille leaves, someone will look for her... This is equivalent to pushing the once powerful but unknown Lucille to a point where everyone knows her, making it difficult for her to hide in the future.
"I see."
"You seem quite calm." Frelia asked curiously.
"I might be worried about other things, but my mentor's ability to disguise herself is incredible. I'm not even worried about her at all."
"ah?"
Looking at Frelia's surprised expression.
That’s right, disguise is exactly the feeling Lucille gave me the first time. She likes to change her identity. People who want to find her may not be able to find her.
"Let her handle this matter herself. I believe my mentor will be fine." Sean said.
I guess Ali Williams would never have thought that the little girl back then had learned so many magic tricks!
His little calculations might be useful in front of ordinary people, but in the face of absolute power, there is nothing worth showing off. However, it did remind Sean that these two royal people were too calculating, so if he could leave in a few days, he should leave as soon as possible.
……………………
For the next two days, Sean continued to wait for Melsusa and her team...
Judging from the distance we have traveled before, it should be soon, maybe in the next two days. It is said that other cities not far from the imperial capital have seen the Jagun Navy troops, and Emperor Sel even came to confirm it with me.
Only after receiving a positive answer will I leave with satisfaction.
As long as the relationship between the two countries is maintained, the arrival of allies is actually a way to stimulate people's enthusiasm, so Emperor Sel is very welcome to the Jagon Navy.
After all, it was they who destroyed the largest pirate group in the entire Southern Sea!
On the other hand, under the pressure of survival, Langdon finally confiscated the property of the officials and nobles named in the hall, and charged them with treason and publicly executed them tomorrow.
This time it’s real…
When Rocks failed to catch up, he was actually caught up by these officials!
