Chapter 1747 - What Am I Thinking

“That’s great! I have a master too! Sis, do you think I can become as powerful as you in the future?” Yabemiya had the ring on her finger and the golden necklace around her neck as she hugged Elizabeth happily, excited for her future.

Louis and Miya had already set a date a few days later to start training, so he left with Jinx.

“Your master is one of the strongest on Dragon Island, and also a top powerhouse of the Norland Continent. You will become even more powerful than me with him teaching you personally and the unlimited supply of resources.” Elizabeth looked at Yabemiya dotingly, and said, “I look forward to what you can become.”

“Wow, that sounds impressive.” Yabemiya’s eyes shone brightly. “In that case, I can protect you.”

Elizabeth paused in her steps. She looked at Yabemiya with a smile, and said, “We will both become powerful. Be it the golden throne or frost throne, whatever Father had in the past, we can get it back once again.”

“The golden throne?” Yabemiya frowned a little.

“Shhh. Don’t speak.” Just then, Elizabeth suddenly let go of Miya’s hand, and pulled the latter behind her. She looked at the empty street ahead with a serious expression.

“Hm?” Yabemiya looked forward with bewilderment. There was nothing on the street. Why did Elizabeth look so nervous?

“Come out, Great Elder,” Elizabeth said coldly.

A snowflake appeared in front of them, followed by a silhouette in a long icy blue robe.

“Elizabeth, why do you have to be so guarded against me?” Douglas sighed.

“Father said that one should always be guarded against your enemies and those who could watch you die,” Elizabeth said calmly.

“Rankster’s words are always so insightful.” Douglas nodded slightly.

Elizabeth did not speak, and was still watching him with caution.

Douglas looked past Elizabeth, at Yabemiya. After that, he could not help but ask, “Young lady, who are you to Louis?”

Yabemiya looked at Elizabeth. She remembered what Elizabeth had instructed, and hid herself a little more behind her without replying.

“She’s Louis’s new disciple,” Elizabeth replied in her stead.

“New disciple?” Douglas appeared rather shocked. He had known Louis for thousands of years, and never heard about him accepting disciples. However, he actually took in a new disciple in Chaos City?

However, there was indeed Louis’s aura on this young lady. She had to have received something from him to remind all of them that she was protected by him.

Yabemiya did not reply. Douglas looked back at Elizabeth, and said in a low voice, “Go back, and you will still have the chance to sit on the frost throne.”

“Chance?” Elizabeth smiled mockingly. “Do you think I should accept your gracious charity with gratitude?”

Douglas looked at Elizabeth, and equally coldly said, “Rankster’s daughter does not need charity. The Frost Dragon Tribe would not do charity to our people. Since you do not wish to go back now, I can wait for you just like how I did for your father. You can ascend the frost throne with your own capabilities.”

After saying that, the frost disappeared, and Douglas disappeared with it.

“I think… he left.” Yabemiya took a step forward. She held Elizabeth’s hand gently, and realized that the tips of her fingers were icy cold, but her palm was a little moist.

“Let’s go.” Elizabeth had regained her composure. She held Elizabeth’s hand and walked forward.

“Is he the baddie that almost killed you?” Yabemiya asked cautiously.

“No.” Elizabeth shook her head gently. “But he isn’t a good person, either.”

“Then when Miya becomes strong, I will go and defeat that fellow,” Yabemiya said with a clenched fist.

“Alright.” Elizabeth smiled.

The moon cast two long shadows behind them as they walked forward, hand in hand.

“A little accident happened on the way, so we’re a little late. So sorry to trouble you to pick us up. Please send my greetings to City Lord Michael. I would visit him personally tomorrow,” Josh said to Dicus and the others from the city lord’s castle when he alighted from the horse-drawn carriage at the entrance of the city lord’s castle.

“Prince Josh, you’re too courteous. Our staff would be bringing you and Princess Vanessa to your resting area later. The itinerary for tomorrow is right here. Please do take a look.” Dicus took out a gold-printed brochure, and handed it to Josh with a smile.

“I’m so hungry…” Vanessa, who was standing behind Josh, placed her hands over her stomach pitifully, and looked at Dicus as she asked, “Can I ask if the city lord’s castle provides dinner?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“When all of you have settled down, the city lord’s castle would send food to your respective quarters.” Dicus nodded slightly.

“I want to eat Mamy…” Vanessa stopped herself. She thought to herself, What am I thinking… Boss Mag must have closed for the day, and is putting Amy to sleep. He wouldn’t cook for me.

“I’m fine as long as it’s food. Thank you,” Vanessa corrected herself.

“This way, please.” A staff member led the Roth Empire’s team into the city lord’s castle.

“Big Brother Josh, Who are those people who ambushed us today? Why did they ambush us?” In their resting quarters, as they were waiting for their food, Vanessa went to Josh’s room, and voiced her doubts to Josh, who was sipping some tea.

“We can’t ascertain where they are from, but I’ve already sent someone to report this to Royal Father. I believe we will be able to find out soon,” Josh said calmly.

“That’s so horrible. How dare they ambush us. Luckily we won in numbers, and we also have President Richard with us.” Vanessa was rather angry as she waved her fist in the air.

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you,” Josh told Vanessa with a smile.

“Mm-hmm.” Vanessa nodded. After that, she looked at Josh with a grin, and said, “We’ve already arrived at Chaos City, so tomorrow it’ll be free and easy for me, right? I haven’t seen Uncle Abraham in a long time. I want to visit him.”

“Alright. I’ll get someone to send you over.” Josh nodded slightly. He flipped open the itinerary on the table, and calmly said, “I saw on the itinerary that the meeting tomorrow will be at Mamy Restaurant.”

“The meeting is at Mamy Restaurant?!” Vanessa’s eyes lit up. She quickly went forward to take a look. First up in the itinerary was indeed to go to Mamy Restaurant for breakfast and meeting, and it would last the entire day.

“Emmm… I think it’s alright if I visit Uncle Abraham a little later. As an important member of the Roth Empire’s representative team, I feel that there is a need for me to attend the first day of the meeting to display our might,” Vanessa said matter-of-factly. “Yes. That’s it.”
