"No training before? Do you think there's any hope?" Arthur nodded and continued to ask.
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he wanted Vivian to give it a try.
"Based on my observations over this period of time, the higher the evolution level of a Pokémon, the longer the training time, and it seems that Pokémon evolve more easily during the Pokémon Berry stage."
Daniel thought for a moment and replied.
He then recounted the time and process of Fang Yuan's evolution into the Bronze Spirit Fruit and the Golden Spirit.
"So you're saying there's a high chance? But it'll probably take a long time? Do you think it can be done within a year?"
Arthur Rose was getting restless.
If he succeeds within a year, his Vivian can continue to live.
“Father, you can’t possibly let an unmarried young lady, whose identity is unknown, live in your castle for a year or two, can you?” Daniel retorted.
“Of course, I can let her stay in the castle as your fiancée,” Arthur Rose said with a smile.
"Although I really want her to be my wife, it's a pity that I don't seem to be very popular with her," Daniel said with a hint of helplessness.
Although he never gave up pursuing Fang Yuan, he also sensed that Fang Yuan was avoiding him to some extent.
Fortunately, she treated James the same way, which gave him some comfort.
"As my son, your status is your asset, and you don't even know how to use it?"
Arthur Rose looked at her son, who rarely came home because he was always arguing with her, and sneered without any mercy.
“But I am just your son, a viscount, not as powerful as you are. There are indeed countless women who would give their lives for you.”
Daniel retorted to Arthur without holding back.
His father attracted so many women that they practically filled the entire duchy, and one of his lovers even bore him a son.
Even his son, born to a deceased mother, couldn't please him as much as his mistress's illegitimate son.
“Daniel, how dare you talk back to your father like this? Have you forgotten all your manners and taught them to your tutor?” Arthur’s expression turned cold.
The wife passed away unexpectedly shortly after the birth of this youngest son.
I spoil him more, that's why he's so bold and defiant.
Didn't he know that the illegitimate child had made a contract with an elf?
All they get is a baronship and a remote fiefdom?
Fortunately, he didn't have any more children with anyone else after that, otherwise it would have caused him even more headaches.
"I'm sorry, Father." Daniel quickly bowed his head and apologized, but he wouldn't change.
“If you like her, I’ll find a way to get you two engaged,” Arthur said with a snort.
"Father, have you found any family with the surname Wisteria?" Daniel asked instead of answering the question.
"I found out, that's why I'm willing to get engaged to you!"
As he spoke, Arthur took out a document and handed it to Daniel.
"A noble family of the Bauhinia Kingdom? A branch of the royal family?" Daniel nodded thoughtfully.
“Not a branch of the royal family, but a branch of the former royal family,” Arthur replied.
Although her closest relative was only a count, she was indeed a member of a collateral branch of the former royal family of the Elf Empire.
They possess the bloodline of the previous imperial family.
No wonder it was able to awaken such a miraculous ability.
"So do you think I can marry her?" Daniel countered.
If the imperial family knew of her existence, they certainly wouldn't abandon her, as she was from a collateral branch of the royal family.
Even though the Bauhinia Kingdom is far from their Rose Duchy, quite a few nobles have come here this time.
Fang Yuan's information will definitely get out.
“They are naturally my people in my duchy, and I will not let them leave my duchy easily to help the current empire alleviate its difficulties.”
Arthur said without any politeness.
Now that this person has accepted Arthur Rose's reward, he shouldn't expect to leave easily.
If she doesn't want to marry Daniel, he wouldn't mind marrying her himself.
"Father, what has given you such great ambition?" Daniel asked, somewhat surprised.
He didn't know why his father suddenly said that.
Aren't they also duchies granted by the empire?
Why would my father say that?
“Our Rose Kingdom is also a branch of the royal family, isn’t it? It’s a perfect match for her,” Arthur Rose replied with a light laugh.
Like Fang Yuan's family, their Rose family is a branch of the former royal family.
To be precise, his title of Duke is currently the highest among the former royal family members.
Fang Yuan was naturally one of their 'own people'.
If Fang Yuan were to truly become a member of his family, he could potentially live for another five or six hundred years.
With so many years, is anything impossible?
······
Fang Yuan overheard the entire conversation between the two people upstairs from his guest room.
She found it somewhat amusing, but also curious and puzzled:
"System, what does this Duke mean by that? Is he trying to use me as a tool?"
[Host, the system doesn't know either, but it probably means that your family and his family are very suitable for a marriage alliance.]
It is a system, that's true, but he doesn't know these things because the other party didn't say them out loud!
"Okay, this guy doesn't seem to want me to leave. What should I do?" Fang Yuan asked with some concern.
If this person really doesn't let her leave, it seems she might not be able to leave at all.
After all, this world has elves and magicians as well.
If this guy restricts her from leaving the duchy, she probably really won't be able to leave.
[Host, an engagement is not the same as a wedding. You're not that old; you can postpone it.]
“Yeah, I’m only seventeen. I can stall until my grandfather contracts a spirit, and then go back to get reinforcements.”
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
