The Great Elder stared at the beam of light for a moment before slowly looking away.
Then, he took out the communication crystal, contacted Martin, and conveyed the president's words to Martin White word for word.
Afterwards, he put away the communication crystal, looked at the light column affectionately again, and then slowly left with steady steps.
At this time, Martin was at Lake Hestia. With the help of the energy split from the secret key, he successfully opened the secret light gate and then stepped in.
Lilith is directing the maids in the secret realm to cultivate the flower fields and carefully decorate the entire secret realm. This is her main task during this period.
Upon noticing that someone had entered the secret realm, the knights stationed in the secret realm quickly gathered towards the entrance.
These knights, who started out as silver-level warriors, rode on wildebeests and soon arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.
Martin was about to ride Hefna to the core of the secret realm to visit his family when he suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hooves.
He stopped riding the dragon. When the knights saw His Majesty riding the dragon, they immediately dismounted and knelt on one knee, shouting in unison: "Loyalty!"
Martin nodded slightly and waved his hand, motioning them to stand up, then asked the Knight Commander about the situation of the royal family.
The Knight Commander hesitated for a moment, but still reported truthfully: "Your Majesty, everything in the secret realm has been normal recently, but Queen Jovian's condition seems a little off. I'm afraid only Grand Steward Lilith knows the specific situation."
After hearing this, Martin didn't ask any more questions. He rode Hefna directly towards the core of the secret realm and asked the Knights to return to the camp.
Afterwards, he passed through the space crack and successfully arrived at the core of the secret realm.
Before this, Martin had built more than a dozen palaces here to prevent similar incidents as the last attack on Yulong City from happening again.
Martin's arrival on a giant dragon naturally made quite a noise, which immediately attracted the attention of the maids.
Some of the maids hurried to report, while the other part, led by the chief steward Lilith, waited below to greet them.
Martin used his perception to take a closer look and found that Jovian did not appear to be abnormal, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate.
He signaled Hefner to descend slowly. As soon as Martin got off the dragon's back, the chief steward Lilith and the maids bowed respectfully.
Martin waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then asked Lilith to follow him. Hefna also transformed into a human form and followed Martin closely.
Seeing this, Lilith told the maids to go back to their work, and she followed Martin.
After they walked for a while, Martin asked, "What happened to the Queen recently?"
Lilith thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Queen may be suffering from a heart disease."
Martin nodded silently, then asked Lilith to lead the way so that he could go and see for himself.
Soon, under the guidance of Lilith, they arrived in front of Jovian's bedroom.
Martin signaled Lilith and Hefna to leave, and specifically instructed Lilith to arrange a quiet room for Jovian to rest, and then walked into the bedroom alone.
At this moment, in the bedroom, the eldest of the quintuplets had just reported everything to Jovian. After Jovian coaxed the children to sleep, she hurriedly began to dress herself up carefully.
After getting dressed, she rushed out, only to bump into someone's arms.
Before crashing into Martin's arms, Jovian instantly activated her magic power, and only after seeing that the person coming was Martin did she slowly withdraw the magic power.
The quintuplets heard the noise and hurried outside. With Jovian's sky-level strength, her speed was far beyond the quintuplets' reach.
Qiao Wei'an hugged Martin tightly and they hugged each other for a long time. Then, they walked into the bedroom together.
The two looked at each other, and Martin asked softly with a smile: "Qiao Wei'an, have you been worried about something recently?"
Qiao Wei'an scolded without hesitation: "It's all because of someone. He ran from the imperial capital to this secret realm all this time, and there has been no news from him. I'm so worried. After such a long time, how can I not be worried!"
After hearing this, Martin was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had been too busy during this period and neglected to care for Jovian.
Then, he continued to talk sweet words to Jovian for more than ten minutes, and finally made Jovian smile.
Then, Jovian urged Martin to go out. She knew that she was not the only one who wanted to see Martin.
Martin naturally understood this in his heart, and he chatted with Jovian for a while before getting up and walking out of the palace.
He first came to the palace where his father White lived. The father and son met and had a very pleasant conversation.
Martin told his father that the threat posed by the Dragon Spine Empire had been eliminated, but the situation outside was still turbulent.
He said that if his father wanted to leave the secret realm, he could tell him and he would arrange for dragon knights to protect him.
Father White waved his hand and said with a smile that life in the secret realm is now comfortable and pleasant, and there is no need to go out and make trouble.
However, he reminded Martin that his brothers and sisters had different ideas about this, and asked Martin to handle it according to his own judgment and not be influenced by them as parents.
Martin nodded to show that he understood, then said goodbye and left his father's palace.
Martin then went to his mother, Lady Ellie's palace. As soon as he entered, Lady Ellie saw him and deliberately said jokingly, "Oh, who is this distinguished guest? You actually came to see a mother like me. It's really not easy."
As she spoke, she pretended to take out a handkerchief to wipe her face, then lay down on the recliner.
Martin felt warm in his heart when he saw his mother acting so funny, but he couldn't help laughing at her "childishness". He wondered if she was always "eighteen years old" and that was why she was so clever and weird.
Martin hurriedly bowed respectfully to Mrs. Ellie.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ellie stopped joking, took Martin's hand affectionately, and the two sat down and began to chat about their respective experiences during this period.
When Martin recounted what had happened during this period, he deliberately avoided the important issues and tried to pick out some light-hearted things to talk about. Even so, Mrs. Ellie couldn't help but look worried after listening.
She knew in her heart that her son, now the ruler of the empire, had a heavy responsibility and she must not hold him back.
Her natal family had reminded her of this when they had talked to her before. In fact, even if no one reminded her, Mrs. Ellie would not do anything to hinder her son.
In this way, the mother and son chatted for a while. Martin inadvertently looked at the sky and found that it was getting late, so he got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Ellie.
After leaving Lady Ellie's palace, Martin visited several ladies in order, then went to see Fuya and Rina, and then met with several brothers and sisters, and finally went to where the princesses who were married to each other lived.
