“My father has Emilia, and I’ve already prepared the gifts. Daniel, please stop making these awkward excuses to make me leave.”
James replied smugly, "Everyone competes fairly."
“Dear James, have you forgotten your earlier suspicions? You are wasting my time, and soon Fang Yuan will become someone else’s target.”
Seeing that Fang Yuan's abilities would be exposed at his father's birthday banquet, he was thinking of finding an opportunity to communicate more with Fang Yuan.
“Dear Daniel, everyone yearns for beautiful things. I don’t deny your pursuit, but please don’t stop me,” James replied with a light laugh.
Everyone loves beauty, especially a beautiful woman with such abilities.
He's also an unmarried man, so why can't he fight for it?
"Okay, I can't stop you from thinking this way, but if we continue like this, the most likely outcome is that neither of us will benefit, and someone else will end up getting the better deal."
Daniel scoffed.
“I’m sorry, I really don’t want to give up!” James said.
Such a treasure, and he's a man, why wouldn't he want to possess it?
Unfortunately, after traveling for more than ten days, until they arrived at the Duke's Rose Manor, their relationship remained no different from before.
Because Fang Yuan had no intention of dating them.
Although both have their own unique characteristics, they are indeed young and handsome.
But she planned to leave with her grandfather, so any inappropriate thoughts had to be suppressed before they could even sprout.
Upon entering the town where the Duke's castle was located, it was several times larger than the towns we had previously encountered.
The Duke's castle was like a small fortress, much larger than any Western castle she had ever seen.
"Your Excellency, welcome home."
"Lady Lily of the Valley, welcome to the Duke's birthday banquet."
The Duke's butler greeted Daniel at the castle gates as he returned.
"Karl!"
Daniel got out of the carriage and called out to the butler, Carl, then turned to Fang Yuan's carriage and reached out to her.
"My dear Yuanyuan, come down quickly!"
"Thanks!"
Fang Yuan followed Daniel's hand and stepped down from the carriage.
"Karl, it's been a long time. How is my uncle?"
James looked at the middle-aged butler, smiled, and went up to greet him.
"Thank you for your concern, His Highness the Duke is doing well!" Butler Card replied respectfully.
He then looked at Fang Yuan, gave her a slight bow, and asked, "May I ask who this young lady is?"
He actually guessed that Fang Yuan was the new owner of Wheat Field Town.
But he cannot rely on guesswork.
“Karl, this is the new Baron of Wheatfield Town, Baron Wisteria.”
Daniel emphasized Fang Yuan's surname.
Since she didn't inherit her father's surname, she couldn't be called Baron Wheatfield.
"So it's Baron Wisteria. Welcome to Rose Manor. The host has been eagerly awaiting your arrival!"
Karl bowed to Fang Yuan.
Looking at the golden elf beside the three, he became even more respectful to Fang Yuan.
This person can really evolve elves; he'll definitely be more than just a baron in the future.
"Thank you for the invitation, Your Grace. Fang Yuan Zi Teng is extremely honored to attend the Duke's birthday banquet," Fang Yuan replied with a smile.
"Okay, honey, let's go inside!"
Back at his father's castle, Daniel became the master of the house and immediately beckoned Fang Yuan to come inside.
Even if his cover is in another place, this is still his home.
"Yes, yes, please come in!" Karl stepped aside and gestured for the group to enter.
Upon entering the hall, Daniel asked immediately, "Ral, where is Father?"
“The master is in his study!” Karl quickly stepped forward and replied.
"You take good care of my distinguished guest for me, I'm going to find him."
Daniel gave Carl a few instructions, then spoke a few words to Fang Yuan and the other man before going upstairs.
"This way, gentlemen!"
As soon as Daniel left, Carl took the two of them directly to the guest room.
One of these two is the host's blood relative, and the other is a distinguished guest specially assigned by the host.
They were both entitled to live in the main castle.
"Thanks!"
Fang Yuan was unaware of the butler's intentions, and she followed James to a guest room in the castle to stay.
Daniel, however, quickly went up to the top floor.
He immediately recognized the servants outside the study and knew his father was indeed there, so he went straight in:
"Father, I'm back!"
His casual demeanor caused Arthur Rose, who was sitting at the desk, to frown. "Daniel, where is your manners and upbringing?"
Only after he finished speaking did he look up from his official duties and look at Daniel.
His pupils contracted slightly when he saw the golden sprite on his shoulder.
"Daniel, is this little elf your Ella?"
Although he said it as a question, it was actually a statement of certainty.
"Yes, Father, thanks to you, Ella has evolved into a Golden Elf."
Daniel spoke of this with a hint of pride.
"Ella greets Your Highness the Duke, Vivian!"
Seeing this, Ella also flew to the Duke's desk and bowed to him.
Having become a golden elf, the little guy was no longer ashamed and dared to greet the duke and his elves.
"Ella, you actually evolved?"
Vivian also flew down from Duke Arthur's shoulder.
Standing not far in front of Ella, he carefully observed the former silver elf.
"Of course, it was Lord Fangyuan who helped me evolve. Lord Fangyuan's aura made Ella feel very comfortable. Ella likes her the most besides her master," Ella said happily.
She actually wanted to say that Ella was her favorite person, but she didn't want to hurt her master's feelings.
"Lord Fangyuan? Has she arrived? Can I see her?" Vivian asked impatiently.
She never expected that someone could actually help their elves evolve.
This was nothing short of a miracle; she even wondered if only the Elf Goddess could accomplish such a feat.
"Of course she's here! She's downstairs. I'll take you to see her later. She's so lovely!" Ella replied happily.
"Alright, Vivian, now that we're old friends, shouldn't you accompany Ella to your room for a bit?"
Having calmed down, Arthur simply dismissed the two little elves from the study.
He set up a special room for Vivian next to the bedroom, which was decorated very nicely.
When he was busy at night, Vivian would go to her room to stay.
Not only Arthur had a room for his elves, but other nobles also prepared a special room for their elves.
Perhaps only Alice from Fang Yuan's family was used by her to keep Fang Ping'an company.
“Of course, my master, I really want to chat with Ella.”
Vivian then pulled Ella away and left.
After the two elves left, Daniel looked at Arthur and replied directly:
“Father, just as Ella said, it was Fangyuan Wisteria that made her evolve. As for the others, I don’t know.”
Fang Yuan's talent is so appealing to the elves that even the things he makes can increase their magic power when they eat them.
This is talent; he doesn't understand the specifics and can't learn it.
"What I want to know is... can she raise a Diamond Elf?" Arthur looked directly at Daniel.
That's the key reason he asked this question: his Vivian won't last much longer.
"I'm sorry, Father. Fang Yuan has only been contracting spirits for less than half a year, and so far she has only trained silver and gold spirits. She has not trained any diamond spirits."
Daniel shrugged in response.
How would I know if I hadn't trained him? Perhaps even Fang Yuan himself doesn't know.
