Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

"I really want to say I don't believe it..."

"Although it sounds incredible, considering the current situation, it is understandable that Xu Zhen doesn't know about half-elves."

Jill seemed to agree with Alicia and whispered, "That's true." Then Jill completely relaxed, stretched, and began to speak with a little regret.

"Oops, I thought I met Alicia's 'destined boy'. Turns out that was totally wrong, huh?"

“Don’t, don’t say something weird all of a sudden!” Alicia protested loudly with a blushing face, while Jill smiled smugly: “Maybe you are actually disappointed?”

"Well, a little bit... But, I said it's not like that!"

"What? What happened to 'fate'?" Xu Zhen didn't seem particularly interested, but Jill seemed to be waiting for this question, and smiled as if preparing to explain in detail: "Don't be like that, Ah Zhen. Listen to me, this girl ten years ago..."

"Ji, Jill, don't say that!"

"It's okay. Ah Zhen confessed everything, so we should do the same, right?" Alicia was speechless. Although she wanted to refute, what Jill said was indeed reasonable. She also wanted to understand her feelings. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to speak out.

Alicia finally decided to tell her story of ten years ago, when she was saved by a boy in the forest near the royal city of Sforia. Somehow, the scene of her encounter with Xu Zhen just now overlapped with that boy.

She didn't have time to ask the boy's name, but she felt that he should be human.

“So, that boy you met as a kid looked like me?”

"That should be the case. Ah Zhen, you are from another world, so you obviously can't be the same person..."

“Well, even if someone looks like that, I don’t find it weird.”

“Indeed.”

When Xu Zhen and the others were smiling at each other, Alicia couldn't help but look at the river flowing beside her and fell into deep thought.

A scene from ten years ago appeared in her mind. A little boy and a monster were playing in the river together, splashing cold water on each other, looking very happy. She watched from a distance, and the boy noticed her presence and waved to her with a smile.

She seemed to be naturally attracted by that smile, and her steps moved forward involuntarily. The memories from that time on were like being shrouded in white mist, blurry and unclear, except for those scenes that she often recalled.

The scenes she could recall seemed to increase slightly, perhaps because she met Xu Zhen. Thinking about this, Alicia's thoughts drifted to the little boy in her memory.

(Where would the boys of that time be now, and what would they be doing?)

The smile of the happy little boy in her memory made Alicia smile unconsciously.

--------------

Russell and Oliver are present in the King's Hall of the Santono Palace. After Douglas reports to the King about an incident involving Sylvia at the training ground, the King summons them both.

Witnessed by the queen, his ministers, and Daglath, the king bowed deeply and offered his words of apology.

"My daughter has caused you a lot of trouble this time. As a king and her father, I am deeply sorry. Please accept my apology."

"Oh, no...nothing hurt actually. Besides, a king shouldn't bow so easily..."

Although Russell was a little confused, the king still bowed his head and said firmly: "Although I am a king, I am also a father. Apologizing for the trouble my daughter has caused is what a father should do!"

Russell and Oliver were surprised by the king's words and actions and could not hide their surprise.

Looking at the queen and the others, they smiled bitterly but watched silently. Obviously, for King Santono, such behavior was normal, and Russell and the others had to accept this fact.

The king finally looked up, cleared his throat, and began to speak: "Sylvia's problem is congenital. It is not a rare problem, and we have no intention of discrimination, but once the title of the royal family is added, the situation is completely different."

"At least as a princess, I have always hoped to train her to be a decent princess. I think we have achieved some success..."

Russell nodded at the words of the king and queen.

“We understand that, too. Right, Oliver?”

“Yes. She introduced herself very politely when we first met.”

Hearing Oliver's words, the king and queen smiled and nodded with satisfaction. Although they had heard similar remarks many times before, they always had some distrust in their hearts.

They thought they were being polite to the royal family, at least from Russell and Oliver, they did not feel any signs of flattery to the royal family. Therefore, they could be truly happy with the current words.

The king and queen looked very happy, and Russell and Oliver also smiled. At this time, Oliver seemed to remember something and showed a reaction.

"Speaking of which, I heard a rumor in the Kingdom of Sforia that Miss Sylvia doesn't have any fiancé. That's because..."

"Yes, that's true. As for the reason, there's no need to explain it in detail." The queen's answer made Russell and the others realize that it was indeed the case.

Although she is the second princess, she doesn't have a fiancé, which is unimaginable in common sense. Unless there are some deep reasons.

This time Russell and the others saw Sylvia's special situation with their own eyes. It seems that there is really nothing that can be done about it.

By the way, all citizens of the Santono capital knew about this. Although it was undeniable that she was somewhat special, even if this was taken into account, she was still a recognized outstanding princess.

Everyone has shortcomings, which is understandable, but this situation is indeed too extreme. While Russell was thinking this, the minister seemed to whisper: "Miss Leticia will definitely be very sad if she comes back."

"Yes. The boy adores Sylvia."

Faced with the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar name, Oliver whispered to Russell, "Who is she?" But unfortunately Russell had never heard of her either.

Seeing the reactions of the two, the king remembered that there were some things he hadn't said: "Oh, I haven't mentioned it yet. Leticia is the first princess of our country and Sylvia's sister. She is on her way to the Kingdom of Shuter for an inspection."

"Really? I'm sorry I didn't get to meet her."

"Sorry. I hope you can come back sometime in the future. I'll introduce you to them then."
