CHAPTER 767: 602 YOU WILL BE SURPRISED

Night fell silently, allowing bright moonlight to cascade from the horizon, illuminating part of the land.

At this time, most of the common people had already gone to sleep, even in the bustling capital of Yalev, which, despite its night-time magic lanterns lighting up the streets, saw very few people active at this hour.

King Hemulinp Jinas of the Jinas Kingdom was exactly one of those few.

This most distinguished identity within the kingdom was at that moment in the royal palace’s chamber of the king, reading through a parchment overnight, ensuring that the chandelier lighting up the entire chamber never dimmed.

The parchment he was seriously reading contained various reports listed one by one.

These were recent reports deciphered by the palace magicians, working tirelessly, of records from an ancient magic civilization.

The Meipros family had discovered an ancient city inside the body of the deep-sea monster Yarakulon and found many ancient books from the ancient magic civilization remaining to this day; this news had already caused a sensation throughout the Kingdom of Jinas, stirring discussions even among the common people.

These ancient manuscripts had been brought to the royal palace, where King Hemulinp had personally ordered all the court magicians to decipher them.

Now, the work of deciphering was almost concluded, and a detailed report of the process, results, and general findings was delivered to Hemulinp.

Thus, Hemulinp spent the night reading the report, with great concentration.

"Your Majesty, it’s time to rest."

The hidden Sword Saint couldn’t help but advise.

"It’s fine, almost done," Hemulinp shook his head, not turning back, "The things deciphered this time are numerous, including some secrets of the ancient magic civilizations even we did not know about. I must understand these records as soon as possible."

"There’s no need to rush," Rom argued, "After all, we can’t really redevelop the site where these manuscripts originated, as it’s inside that underground creature. Even if we discover something from these ancient books, there’s a high chance we wouldn’t be able to verify it by going there again."

"Nothing is absolute, don’t be so sure," Hemulinp temporarily set aside the parchment and massaged his temples, "Didn’t Raven say? There’s a mysterious organization suspected to be able to freely enter and exit the body of that underground creature, and then there’s Lord Brillhaut, who has mastered space magic of unimaginable reach. If necessary, with his help, we should be able to send people back into that ancient city."

"Reiger Brillhaut?" Rom seemed to frown, doubtfully adding, "Would he be willing to assist us?"

"There’s always a way to persuade him," Hemulinp smiled dismissively, "As long as he still cares for someone or something, we can find an opportunity to convince him."

"Initially, wasn’t it also because of this consideration that we sent my precious daughter to him?"

"You’ve been keeping an eye on them lately, haven’t you? Are they progressing smoothly?"

Hemulinp’s inquiry was met with Rom’s somewhat complicated response.

"Their relationship seems to be going very smoothly; reportedly, it seems they have grown quite fond of each other. Princess Liz inexplicably trusts him a great deal, and he takes her everywhere, even reports emerged that they spent an entire day and night alone in a room before they left the capital for the Meipros domain without stepping out even once," Rom spoke with a bitter undertone, as if a prized possession had been exploited thoroughly, creating an unpleasant atmosphere around him.

However, upon hearing this, Hemulinp’s eyes lit up, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"So quickly she has captivated Reiger Brillhaut; she truly is my daughter."

His daughter was naturally timid and prone to nervousness, appearing confused most of the time and easy to deceive, but her charm was undeniable.

Royal princesses are typically beautiful by nature, thanks to good genetics, but among them, his least publicly seen ninth princess stood out exceptionally.

In terms of appearance, barely an adult, she still retained some childishness but had already surpassed any mature princess, even possibly surpassing them.

Regarding physique, she outshone every woman at her young age, even his seasoned consorts.

Hemulinp knew well that his daughter had a devilishly charming beauty; she was considerable now and would be absolutely peerless as she grew older.

Even Hemulinp, a king who judged beauty rather harshly, couldn’t find a single flaw in Liz.

Therefore, Hemulinp could assert with certainty that his daughter, once grown, would definitely be one of the most charming women on the continent.

Looking at his daughter, even Hemulinp had to admit that his past indiscretion outside the palace wasn’t without reason.
