Chapter 50 Is the "Lord" Your Highness spoke of the Lord of Thunder?
A man and a woman stood on either side of Connor behind him.
The man was around thirty years old, and the woman was younger than him, in her early twenties.
Minister Connor mentioned these two men yesterday afternoon, and Sophia recalled that Minister Connor's assessment of them was: courageous and resourceful.
They both rose to fame at a young age and, after leaving the North, joined a large mercenary group in the kingdom.
Later, relying on his own abilities, he became a pivotal figure in that large mercenary group.
During one mission, the team they led encountered a beast tide on their way back to the city. In order to protect the villagers of a village along the way, the two of them led their team to fight against the beast tide.
Then... because the man repeatedly forced himself to improve his strength, his physical essence was depleted, and his vitality was sharply reduced.
Half of her hair turned white at only thirty years old.
The woman is a Buddhist nun. Her condition is better than the man's, but she has also experienced some physical and mental problems.
After the beast tide ended, the two of them returned to their base with the surviving mercenary members. Not long after, they submitted their resignations and returned to the Northern Territory.
Upon seeing the two people, some information about them surfaced in Sofia's mind.
This information was given to her by Minister Connor.
"Let's talk in the garden."
Sophia no longer enjoys staying in the lobby; she prefers the sunny outside and the nighttime in the crimson, dark hell.
The hall was brighter than hell, but she still felt it wasn't bright enough.
Since she needs to fertilize Connor the Dragon, let's talk in the garden.
Standing behind Connor, Aston Montgomery looked at Sophia's face with surprise; the princess was still a little girl.
What makes this little girl so capable that she can make that old man Connor willingly serve her?
And Dalton.
Dalton now trusts the princess very much.
Aston Montgomery exchanged a glance with his companion Grace and followed Minister Connor to the garden.
Upon arriving at the garden, Sophia placed fifty bags of dragon fertilizer on the ground and handed them to Connor with a smile.
When Minister Connor saw the fifty bags of dragon fertilizer, he couldn't stop smiling. Princess Sophia was becoming more and more capable.
He put the fifty bags of dragon fertilizer into his spatial ring, bowed to Sophia, and turned to leave.
Aston, whose blond hair was turning gray, was somewhat speechless when Minister Connor left him and Grace there and went on his own.
"Your Highness Sophia, I spoke with Lyra last night. Lyra said she wants to stay in the castle and become your maid to repay you."
Dalton patted Lyra's head, stepped forward, and bowed to Sophia.
Laila awkwardly bowed to Sophia, mimicking her father's gesture. In her dazed state, she had glimpsed Sophia's clear, bright red eyes.
"If Leila is willing, I will naturally not refuse. I will have Anna arrange for someone to teach Leila to read and write, and to do some things that she can do at her age."
Don't worry, I won't mistreat Lyra.
"I trust Your Highness."
"Laila...Laila also trusts Her Highness."
Sofia smiled at Leila. Leila, who wasn't mentally challenged, was introverted, shy, and timid, somewhat like her.
She was the same way in front of the dragon Destin.
Sophia's gaze fell on Aston and Grace. "Hello, I am Sophia, the third princess of the Kingdom of Roland. I am currently recruiting guards for caravans, and Minister Connor recommended you to me."
"Aston Montgomery greets Her Highness Sophia."
"Grace Reno greets Her Highness Sophia."
Aston had half-gray blond hair, a slightly hunched posture, and deep-set eyes.
Grace was tall and beautiful, with long, slightly wavy champagne-colored hair casually draped down her back.
"When Minister Connor recommended us to His Highness, he must have told His Highness about our background, right?"
"I have mentioned it." Sophia walked up to Aston and Grace, placed her right hand on her chest, and bowed to the two of them.
Upon seeing this, Aston and Grace were first stunned, then exchanged a glance before quickly stepping aside to avoid it.
"We dare not, nor are we worthy of, such a great honor."
"You deserve it, based on your courageous act of fighting to the death to protect the villagers. My salute just now was to thank you for saving the people of the Kingdom of Roland."
Sophia smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Aston. "Minister Connor said that you forcibly increased your combat power, causing a loss of your vital essence and a decline in your life force."
"In your condition, can the Water of Life from the Elven Court cure you?"
"Drinking the pure water of life from the Elven Royal Court can naturally heal my body." At this point, Aston paused for a moment, and then continued, "But the 'water of life' available in the Kingdom of Roland is all diluted."
It's not pure enough. Even if I spent a lot of money to buy ten or twenty bottles of that kind of "water of life," it wouldn't be of much use to me. At most, it would make my body feel a little better right now.
When I returned alive to the mercenary group, the leader spent a lot of money to buy several bottles of that impure "water of life" for me and Grace, but the effect was too poor.
Grace and I didn't want the mercenary group to keep spending money on us, so we secretly left the group when the leader wasn't looking.
"Didn't the rest of the mercenary group notice you left?"
"They must have discovered it. The reason we were able to return to the North safely is because our mercenary brothers were secretly protecting us."
They left only after we reached the North, leaving us a large sum of money before they departed.
Sophia nodded. She knew it. How could no one have noticed that two seriously injured people had quietly left the mercenary group?
From this perspective, the mercenary group that Aston and Grace joined seems pretty good.
"What was the name of the mercenary group you joined before?"
"Fairy Tale Mercenary Group"
"It's actually the tenth-ranked Fairy Tale Mercenary Group in the kingdom!" Anna, who was standing to the side, looked surprised when Aston announced the name of the mercenary group.
The mercenary groups that make it into the top ten of the rankings are all large mercenary groups with their own bases and cities.
The military sometimes assigns tasks to the top ten mercenary groups.
Anyone who has served in the Fairy Tale Mercenary Group, even a squad leader, possesses unfathomable strength.
No wonder they survived the beast tide.
Sophia didn't pay much attention to mercenary groups or adventure groups in the capital. She was busy studying and observing how her elder sister, Queen Eileen, won over the princes and ministers.
"Aston, I cannot heal the wounds of depletion of essence and loss of life force, but an elder I know can heal you."
"..."
Here it comes again, Princess Sophia is recruiting followers for the dragon Diding in her dreams...
Upon hearing Sophia's words, Anna immediately guessed what Sophia wanted to do.
Instead of recruiting soldiers for himself, he only thought about recruiting followers for the dragon Destin in his dreams.
Could the dragon Destin from the dream world possibly come to reality?
"Is the lord Your Highness speaking of the 'Lord of Thunder'?"
