Chapter 338: Dylans Concern
Chapter 338: Dylan"s Concern
Arriving at his daughter"s room, Dylan saw the Evil G.o.d staring out the window as if thinking of something.
Thus, he emerged from the black mist and approached with an annoyed expression. "Evil G.o.d, where is my daughter? What are you doing to her again? Aren"t you tired of bothering her just because you want to know more about the G.o.ddess of Light?"
"Well, I never got anything from her. Her mouth is shut tight. Your daughter is not that close to Sun." Xerroth shook his head.
"Where is my daughter now? Are you bothering her again?" Dylan looked at every corner of the room. Still, he couldn"t find his daughter anywhere even though he scanned the surrounding area with magic.
"Read this." Xerroth flicked a folded pink paper, sending it flying over to Dylan.
Dylan caught it with his two fingers, then opened the paper. He furrowed his brows as he read his daughter"s handwriting.
[Father, by the time you read this, maybe your daughter has left the Devil Continent. You have been too engrossed in work lately and will probably be even busier over the next few months.
Based on your promise last month, I took it myself over my wish that you will grant. I took some treasures from the treasury and the first weapon of destruction as well.
I can no longer live in the palace, there is no safe place there, and you have neglected me. Did the agreement with Evil G.o.d also include selling your daughter to that big, evil, scary, black devil? It"s scary. I don"t want to be his plaything.
Having said that, your daughter will travel the world. Please don"t look for me, and you won"t find me even if you try to find me because I left without using any magic.
Take care, father.
Sincerely, your daughter, Sylvia.]
Dylan immediately crumpled the paper because he was highly annoyed. He looked at the Evil G.o.d with a death glare. "What did you do to my daughter so that her silly immature mind can a.s.sume that I sold her to you?"
"I"m generous enough to just visit her room and ask like a gentleman." Xerroth shrugged his shoulders slightly. He was utterly clueless about what that girl had in mind.
"Huh? Yesterday, I heard that you came to surprise her in the morning. What did you do to her at that time?" Dylan gritted his teeth, not believing in Evil G.o.d"s bulls.h.i.t.
"Nothing, I just lay beside her to wake her up." Xerroth spread his arms to signal his innocence, then walked toward the exit.
"Huh!? So, because of that! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you didn"t do anything to my daughter, right?" Dylan exclaimed in anger. Even though he knew his daughter"s purity was safe, he didn"t really understand the rest.
In the past two days, he had too many thoughts. He hadn"t appropriately talked with his daughter. He just listened to her protests about this and that without taking everything seriously.
After all, his daughter had always been with his two trusted Devil Saints in the past two days, and no bad reports came based on his arrangement.
"Ho? What would you do if I did something with your daughter?" Xerroth raised an eyebrow and smirked. He felt challenged by this Devil Emperor.
"Then, I"ll fight you with everything I have." Dylan didn"t hesitate in the slightest because it had something to do with his daughter.
Xerroth looked into Dylan"s eyes, rage looming over them. He still needed the Devil Race"s help to eradicate the accursed monsters from this world. It was only going to add to the problem if this Devil Emperor went mad and attacked him all the way.
"Never mind, I just want to know about Sun, the G.o.ddess of Light, from your daughter. I will take your daughter as a hostage when Sun comes here to confirm the truth of your daughter"s words. If Sun is truly your daughter"s friend, maybe your daughter goes to Human Continent to see her friend." Xerroth waved his hand and turned away.
After hearing that, Dylan pondered for a moment. He regretted not taking her daughter"s complaint seriously yesterday.
She had already fled, and the two Devil Saints were nowhere to be seen this morning. Where did the two of them go?
When Dylan"s thought reached there, two Saint Devils in question came into the room with a confused expression. They were looking for the Devil Princess, but they couldn"t find her.
"Where have you been? You didn"t watch over my daughter this morning?" Dylan folded his arms, asking for an explanation.
"My Lord, Devil Princess, Her Highness didn"t sleep last night, and she demanded to play a game called hide and seek on her quarter as a limitation. However, we still haven"t found Her Highness until now." One of the Devil Saints gave an explanation of their confusion with respect.
"Hide and seek, you say?" Dylan felt stupid for hearing that. His daughter had fled, and these protectors still believed that his daughter was still playing the little game?
"Yes, My Lord. Have you seen Her Highness?" The other Devil Saint asked cluelessly.
"Are you a fool or something? My daughter has already run away and has already left the Devil Continent this morning!" Dylan became furious at once. His aura shot out unconsciously and pressed the two Devil Saints to the ground.
"My Lord, mercy!"
A few seconds later, Dylan took a deep breath and turned his head towards the window. He also retracted his pressure.
If his daughter went to see the G.o.ddess of Light, it would only take a while until he could meet that G.o.ddess again. At that time, he could ask about his daughter.
After that, He gave orders to the two Devil Saints under his command to find any information about his daughter. Then, he jumped out of the window and flew around to find traces of his daughter"s magic.
Unfortunately, he couldn"t find any magic aura trace as far as he searched the whole city.
There was a bit of chaos in the Wales Region, Devil Continent, because the Devil Princess had fled for the umpteenth time.
A little further to the northeast, Aeddoterra City on the Human Continent had just returned to calm.
The Human Emperors and other high authorities had already gone to their respective posts to implement the plans given by the G.o.ddess of Blessings.
Right inside the Holy Cathedral, Ella and Evelyn were already dressed in their uniforms, ready to leave for the academy.
Ella and Evelyn were having tea together with the two women who looked like them at a glance, but the two women were more mature.
"Mother, it"s time for me to go to the academy." Ella put down her teacup after checking the clock.
"En, we"ll be late if we leave ten minutes longer. I need to go to the academy first, mother. See you later this afternoon." Evelyn rose from her seat, ready to go.
"Alright, please be careful on the way. For the time being, don"t talk to strangers, Ella, Eve. Ariel, please take care of my daughter, okay?" Lucia, Ella"s mother, gently asked the holy knight lady who was standing beside Ella.
"Holy Princess"s safety is my priority. You can entrust the task to me with peace of mind, Madam Lucia." Ariel gave a knight salute.
"En, I will pay attention to that, mother." Ella nodded in understanding.
"That goes for you too, Eve. If possible, please avoid walking around the city first. Come back here as soon as academy hours are over. It would be better if you and Ella came home together." Isabelle, Evelyn"s mother, advised her daughter with care.
"En, I understand, mother." Evelyn nodded several times with a cheerful smile.
"Very well, Freya, please take care of my daughter." Isabelle gently asked the mage lady next to Evelyn.
"Princess Evelyn is safe under my watchful eyes. No one shall bother Her Highness, Madam Isabelle." The woman dressed in a green mage gave a slight bow. She was a Saint-level mage a.s.signed to replace Maximilian to guard Evelyn.
Shortly after, Ella and Evelyn left with their protectors, leaving the two women in the room.
"Hum, I still don"t understand what Emperor Arthur was thinking. He held the rea.s.sessment test publicly. There will be some trouble that will come to that innocent girl." Isabelle shook her head softly at her thought.
Yesterday, the rea.s.sessment test was explicitly held to focus on first graders, especially Elysia. There was only one affinity identification crystal during the first-year student testing. Still, it became seven when it entered second-year students. To speed up the course of the event. With that in mind, several sets had just been prepared.
"You are right, Madam Isabelle. It is indeed a good idea for Elysia to go away for a few days to avoid chaos and trouble." Lucia nodded in agreement and sipped her warm tea.
"You are too formal to speak to me, Lucia. Why don"t you just call me by my name? We are also more or less the same age. After all, there are only the two of us here now." Isabelle chuckled, making another small talk.
"Then, Isabelle. What will you do after this?" Lucia complied easily.
After that, the two women, who were also the mother, began to chat casually over some light conversation. Although most of it was their daily life and their schedule for the day.
They did not join their entourage and their husbands for some reason, and one of the reasons was their daughter. They would only give support from Aeddoterra City according to the request of their husbands too.
