After helping her father with some trivial matters at the palace, Caitlin returned to her estate.
Seeing Luo Fan leisurely sunbathing, with Xianxian and Xiaoxue serving him, she was furious.
"Damn it! I'm working so hard and you're just resting here. Come and help me!"
Grabbing Luo Fan's body and kneading it roughly, Caitlin led him toward the study.
"Hey, Caitlin, what's gotten into you now!"
Could it be that this princess has reached some special stage in her life? Her temper is so volatile, but she's far from that age.
"You're the one who's crazy. So many people have died this time, do you think you can get away with it?"
"So what? I didn't do it, what does it have to do with me!"
"It has nothing to do with you, but aren't you afraid that if those people push you too far, they might attack Ellie and Daisy?"
"They wouldn't dare. If they dare to bully my sister, I'll go out and blow them up!"
Caitlin rubbed her temples, forgetting that this guy wasn't exactly a saint either, and he was still clutching a forbidden spell scroll in his hand.
She didn't think Luo Fan would care about those people's lives. Unless she had absolute control over him, the consequences would be difficult to control.
However, this guy's biggest weakness is women; he's really good to the girls around him!
"Alright, stop causing trouble. Duke Simmons will be coming to see Daisy soon and will be asking you questions, so it might cost you some money."
"Oh, that's nothing. But we didn't find any ice-attribute spiritual materials this time either!"
"He wants a horned lion!"
"Get lost! Those are for the girls to ride when they go out! Why don't you give him some ice-type spiritual materials, and I'll give you some water-type ones?"
"That's not necessary, since you've already given Xianxian a lot of water-based spiritual materials. But you have to be honest, have you mastered some kind of spatial magic?"
"It's not that easy. What we know now is just the tip of the iceberg. Doesn't the royal family have any records of spatial magic at all?"
"Well, I'm not entirely sure either. I'll take you to see it later. Father has already granted your request, but only you and I can go."
"Shall we set off now?"
As they were talking, the familiar Duke, led by his attendant, entered the study, followed by Ellie and Daisy. As for the two adorable little pets, they were nowhere to be seen.
"Haha, I knew it! Luo Fan is so cunning, how could he let those guys succeed!"
Luo Fan, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed. He didn't have any other good ideas; he couldn't very well just send Little Grey away.
"Duke, you've come at the right time. Father has already agreed to let you examine the legacy that Daisy and the others have recovered. You can just go directly to Gandalf when you're there."
"No problem. Luo Fan, don't you have any magical treasures for me this time?"
Luo Fan didn't want to link up with this guy; his level was too high, and it would be troublesome if something went wrong. He might as well throw those weapons out to save space.
So Daisy became his mouthpiece.
“Father, Luo Fan said he actually found some weapons that you need to deal with.”
As he spoke, Luo Fan pulled out dozens of rusty weapons that looked very old.
"These were also found in the secret realm?" The Duke picked up a weapon and examined it. It turned out to be a high-level weapon made entirely of rare metals, and it seemed to have a high affinity for water.
If these were all refurbished, they could definitely fetch a lot of money.
Caitlin grabbed Luo Fan's body and asked somewhat angrily, "Why didn't you take it out sooner?"
She vaguely saw the mark of the Temple of Poseidon on it, and if it wasn't handled properly, it would cause even more trouble.
"I forgot! If I hadn't seen the servants' weapons, I wouldn't have even remembered that I had this equipment." Luo Fan chuckled sheepishly.
"Duke, I'll put these weapons away for now. I'll have the court blacksmith repair them properly later, and then I'll let you choose a few more."
"Oh, no problem." The Duke put down his weapon, looking a little bewildered.
The princess can communicate with this slime now? It seems my daughter could too just now. What happened before?
This slime must have many more hidden treasures, some of which even the princess probably doesn't know about.
Should we trade with him again? But they didn't go to a glacier-like location, so there probably aren't any ice-attribute spiritual materials there.
Duke Simmons was somewhat conflicted, but Caitlin quickly dispelled his doubts.
"Duke, Daisy didn't find anything with ice attributes when she went in this time. Consider these ice-attribute materials as compensation for your family."
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, he put these things away.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!" Luo Fan was about to leave when Caitlin grabbed him.
"Now that we've finished discussing personal matters, let's get down to business. I'll be heading to Saint Sea City in less than two weeks. Since Ellie and Daisy are both here, let's hear your thoughts."
“Saint Sea City? No, I have a lot of things to do.” Luo Fan tried to break free, but Caitlin held him tightly.
"Your Highness, Daisy and Ellie shouldn't go this time. They are only mid-level mages."
"I don't plan to let them come with me. I just want to know where you're going to stay after I leave, Ellie. By the way, your viscount title and fief have been granted. Just come with me to the palace to confirm them."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness!" Seeing Luo Fan pretending to be dead in the princess's arms, Ellie quickly agreed.
"As for where to stay, I haven't figured it out yet."
"If you don't mind, you can continue to stay here. It's just sitting empty anyway. Luo Fan, you still have to keep an eye on my things. If anything is lost, you know the consequences!"
Luo Fan didn't want to talk to her; this girl was treating him like a watchdog.
"Ellie has been granted a title?" The Duke was unaware of this and only asked when Ellie remained silent.
"Yes, she and Luo Fan did a great job protecting us last time, and they helped us a lot this time. They deserve a good reward. As for Daisy, she doesn't need one right now."
“Yeah, I’ll just stick with Ellie, hehe~” Daisy replied with a smile, and whispered congratulations to her best friend.
The duke glanced at his silly daughter and said nothing more; as long as she was happy.
"It's good that you're not going, so why are you keeping me here now?" Luo Fan blinked his small eyes, looking at Caitlin above him, looking completely innocent.
“You and the Duke cooperate with me to secretly investigate some people. I suspect they have improper dealings with Saint Sea City.”
"No way. I'm too busy with my own things right now, how can I have time to worry about those things?"
"You have to agree whether you like it or not. Do you remember what you promised me back then?"
This wretched woman still remembers that old saga; Luo Fan felt a headache coming on. Suddenly, he extended a tentacle, probing inside her clothes to test her limits.
Caitlin didn't react, staring at him coldly with a half-smile.
"I agree, okay?!"
Luo Fan quickly gave in. What if he really took her into his harem? Wouldn't that cause some trouble?
But the thought of the kind and lovely Xianxian makes me realize I absolutely have to win her over. Oh well, I'll just keep an eye on her for now; she's a real beauty, after all.
Looking at Luo Fan's smug expression, Ellie sighed inwardly. This pet, as expected, wants a harem; he just won over Daisy, and now he's trying to seduce the princess.
Forget it, I'm not angry. I'll discipline him more severely when I become stronger in the future.
