n“You haven’t been back for so long, so you might not get used to the food in the kingdom anymore. I must beg for your understanding!” Lifa said with a smile, appearing very humble and polite.

n

n

n“Yeah, you’re right, I’ve been away for so long. But, although Noah Kingdom’s food is a little less refined than Golden Lion Empire’s food, the taste is still passable.”

n

n

n

n

nDebbie smiled. The tone of her voice was filled with contempt for the Noah Kingdom. Even the soldiers standing guard nearby found her words grating on the ear.

n

n

nActually, the first reason why Debbie had returned this time was because she heard that the Noah Kingdom had not actually been destroyed by the Raytheon Empire. She felt curious.

n

n

nShe had married off to the Golden Lion Empire, so she naturally knew how powerful an empire was. For a kingdom to actually be able to resist an empire, it had to be said, was an extremely rare thing.

n

n

nThe second reason was because she was still a princess of the Noah Kingdom before she got married. Since the kingdom still stood, she should come back and take a look sometimes so as to prevent others from gossiping behind her back.

n

n

n

n

nOf course, she also wanted to show off a little.

n

n

nAfter all, with her status as the wife of the Third Prince of the Golden Lion Empire, if her and Lifa were to appear in other countries at the same time, she would definitely be treated more honorably than Lifa.

n

n

nThis was what gave her the right to be arrogant.

n

n

nTherefore, Debbie wanted Lifa to understand that, even after such a long time, even after Lifa had become the Queen, she was still inferior compared to Debbie.

n

n

n

n

nDebbie also brought back some valuable items that were unique to the Golden Lion Empire. She believed that if she showed Lifa these things, Lifa would definitely be shocked speechless.

n

n

nThinking of this, Debbie smiled and thought to herself that she should find a suitable time to take out those items.

n

n

n“Lifa, the interior of the Noah Kingdom has long been corrupted to the core. By the time father passed away, the kingdom was already in a mess. It must have been hard on you to maintain the Noah Kingdom until now!”

n

n

nDebbie pretended as if she was really worried for Lifa.

n

n

n“It’s not hard at all, Debbie. This is my responsibility as a member of the Noah Kingdom. You’re the one who has it hard in my opinion. Despite so much speculation and doubt from the populace, you still have to remain so calm!” Lifa said softly with a faint smile.

n

n

n“You…” Debbie’s expression changed. Was Lifa mocking her for not saving the Noah Kingdom despite knowing the dire situation they were in?

n

n

n

n

nLifa had indeed changed after becoming the queen. It seemed like she could not underestimate Lifa.

n

n

nFortunately, after being in the Golden Lion Empire for so many years, Debbie was now able to maintain her composure well. She changed the topic and said, “It’s not easy for us to meet, sister. Therefore, I brought you some gifts.”

n

n

nBefore the food was served, Debbie waved her hand and said, “Bring the boxes over!”

n

n

n“What are these, Debbie?” Lifa asked in surprise.

n

n

n“These are my gifts for you. A drop of morning dew essence from the Forest of Elves, a Coral Jade from the Golden Lion Holy Lake, and a 3,000-year-old Flame Fruit.

n

n

n“Ruling the kingdom is hard work. It must have taken a toll on your body. These precious treasures will nourish your body!”

n

n

nAs Debbie spoke, she opened the boxes on the table one by one. A brilliant light instantly burst forth from within the boxes.

n

n

nEven the soldiers on sentry duty and the maidservants in the distance could see the noticed the dazzling glow at the dinner table.

n

n

n

n

nEven the maidservants who had been serving the nobles in the palace since they were young had never seen this kind of treasure. The Noah Kingdom did not have this kind of treasure at all.

n

n

nSeeing the stunned expressions of the people around her, Debbie’s smile became even more radiant.

n

n

nShe slowly walked to the silent Lifa and said, “I’ve received a lot of good stuff from the prince in all the years I’ve been in the Golden Lion Empire. Don’t worry, sister, I definitely saved some for you.

n

n

nAfter all, you can’t find these things in the Noah Kingdom. If you like them, maybe we can find a chance to go shopping together so that you can broaden your horizons.”

n

n

nAfter saying that, Debbie turned to face Lifa, only to find that Lifa was not paying attention to her at all. Instead, she was looking out of the dining hall.

n

n

nAs if there was someone coming over who was so dazzling that she had no attention to spare for the valuable treasures at all.

n

n

n“Didn’t you say we’re having guests today, Lifa? How can you forget your hair accessory?”

n

n

nA tall and handsome blond man strode into the dining hall holding a pure white feather accessory in his hand.

n

n

nSeeing Rennes, Lifa’s eyes were filled with some surprise and a hint of curiosity.

n

n

nAccessory?

n

n

nShe almost never wore those complicated and luxurious accessories.

n

n

nBut since Rennes had said so, he must have his plan.

n

n

nLifa naturally took the feather accessory from Rennes’ hand.

n

n

n

n

nTo her side, Debbie’s eyes lit up when she saw Rennes.

n

n

nThis man was too perfect, be it in appearance or figure. Even his voice was magnetic.

n

n

nIf she was not in the palace right now and was in somewhere like a bar, she would definitely think of a way to have an intimate relationship with him.

n

n

nThat was how the Third Prince of the Golden Lion Empire took a fancy to her back in the days. She had made the Third Prince fall in love with her by relying on her own effort, even though the Third Prince was very average-looking and was even a little shorter than her.

n

n

nShe had done that because the Third Prince was a prince of the Golden Lion Empire. What she wanted more than anything was power and status. For that, she even gave up the right to compete with Lifa for the throne of Noah.

n

n

n“Go one. Try using your magic power to activate it!” Rennes softly told Lifa as a maid helped Lifa put on the feather accessory.

n

n

n“Okay!” Lifa nodded and activated the magic power in her.

n

n

nAs if something was shining upon the white feather, it suddenly emitted a gentle light.

n

n

nThe feather fluttered slightly. Accompanying the holy light, a cool breeze blew through the dining hall like flowing water.

n

n

nThe soldiers felt the soreness in their hands and feet from standing for a long time being swept away by the breeze and light.

n

n

nThe serving girls and Debbie also felt their fatigue disappearing, dispelled by this power.

n

n

nLifa, who was the closest to the angel feather, was the one who could most keenly feel the effect. All the negative conditions she had, be it physically or mentally, disappeared in an instant.

n

n

nEveryone looked towards Lifa with bright eyes – or, rather, towards the pure white feather on Lifa’s head.

n

n

n“What is this, Lord Rennes?” Lifa asked Rennes curiously.

n

n

nDebbie was also very curious. She could not hide the jealousy in her eyes. Even the Golden Lion Empire did not have a magic treasure like this.

n

n

n“This? An Archmage angel’s feather. I used the seven elements of fire, water, wood, wind, earth, light and life to refine it. Then I also added some enchantments to it,” Rennes said matter-of-factly.
