Chapter 293: No Regrets
Before last year, Savile Collar still insisted on independence and was not disturbed by the outside world, and only later did he throw himself into the princess.
But because of this, Nia's marriage needs to be resolved as soon as possible, and Epps is worried that after his death, many things will be difficult to control.
No matter how good Her Royal Highness Princess's reputation is, as a backer, it is impossible to be absolutely reliable, and even if she is, if her subordinates want to marry Saville, how can they refuse?
In fact, Epps had received a hint from Archmage Orone, but he didn't go any further at the time, but it was enough to alert him.
Seeing Nia's tangled appearance, Epps felt even more distressed, and at the same time, the remorse in his heart was even deeper, and only at this moment did he realize more important and cherished things than magic and plane crystals.
It's just that the daughter who needs to be protected and grown up in his heart has also grown a lot at this time!
Nia's heart was full of thousands of thoughts, including confusion about the future, complaints about her father, and reluctance to her father, as well as the awareness, resistance, and understanding of her own responsibility, and finally all her thoughts turned into a long sigh-
"Father, I have a better candidate?"
"Who?" Epps immediately became nervous, and as a father, he instinctively thought about who his daughter might have come into contact with.
One of the most reassuring things for him was the experience of going to Severton a few times, and the rest of the time Nia was in the territory, and he probably had a number of people he could come into contact with, but Sevington-
If it was someone from Severton, then he would resolutely oppose it, the people there were too variable, and the Savile family couldn't afford to toss at all.
He only hopes that Niya can grow up safely and steadily, instead of being trapped in a complicated intrigue relationship, Niya's talent is very good, and she can grow step by step, and she doesn't need complicated external forces to interfere at all.
"Nia, who are you talking about as the better candidate?"
Nia's face remained unchanged as she slowly said a name, "Shado." β
"Xia Duo?!" Hearing this name, the expression on Epps's face was too exciting, and Xia Duo was actually among his candidates, and to some extent he had more potential than Leonard.
But the assessment time is still short, and coupled with the mystery lock incident, Epps is worried that Nia will not be able to accept it, so he does not mention Chateau, but now-
As Epps was about to object, Nia said:
"Father, didn't you say that the Tower of Time in the territory of Xia Duo may become a breakthrough for outsiders to get into the territory? Well, now that the two breakthroughs are combined, there are no loopholes. β
Nia said it easily, but Epps knew that it was impossible for her daughter not to have the slightest problem with Xia Duo, who provided the information of the lock, and it was okay not to be angry, why now-
"Nia, you don't have to grieve yourself, when the Tower of Time can teleport next year, you will teleport the Tower of Time back to Savile Town, if Grandfather hadn't died, with his ability, he shouldn't care about the change in the guide mark."
At this moment, Epps had completely thought about Nia, but Niya seemed to have made up her mind, "No, father, I think Xia Duo is very good, and he will become a mid-level mage in less than a year." β
"What? He's become a mid-level mage? β
"Yes, Father, you should know."
"No, I don't know." Epps was indeed quite confused, the original object of investigation suddenly exceeded his expectations, but this made him more firmly against Xia Duo, and I don't know if it was because of his daughter's approval, and he had a rebellious mentality.
And Niya continued: "Taling records that Xia Duo just cast a 3-ring spell in the Tower of Time not long ago, and that is because the authority of the Tower of Time has not been completely transferred, and I thought my father knew. β
"Maybe I overlooked." Epps whispered, he could probably guess what was going on, it should have been when he was attacked by that elven high mage, and only then was it possible.
After that, the authority was transferred, and he didn't know about it.
"Father, Xia Duo is a pioneer, he has a close connection with the princess, he has grown up quickly, and he has the reading privilege of [Color Resistant Scroll], and most importantly - he has no complicated background."
In the end, Epps couldn't help but nod, but immediately reacted, indeed, he also had a simple background for his initial fancy to Xia Duo, but he didn't want Nia to sacrifice anything for it.
Not to mention Xia Duo, even Leonard, who he has been inspecting for a long time, as long as Nia is not satisfied in any way, he will not agree.
"No, Nia, you don't need to care about these external factors, what are your own real thoughts, can you really accept such a person? Father doesn't want you to be unhappy! β
"Father, I've already thought about it, aside from external factors, I also think Xia Duo is more suitable." Instead of looking for someone you don't know, it's better to find someone who is relatively familiar.
Nia has been in the Tower of Time for twenty years, and she has been in contact with very few people of the opposite sex, and even fewer have interacted with her, and although she has known Leonard for a long time, she has not said as much as she has said to Xia Duo's apprentice!
Aside from external factors and the Confusion incident, Nia is indeed quite satisfied with Xia Duo, but she has never considered marriage.
Now that she is thinking about marriage, the only thing that makes Niya feel bad may be the Mystery Lock incident, but in order to reassure her father and make the territory impeccable, she can't ignore this.
"Father, so be it, I've already informed Xia Duo to come over."
"You-" Epps looked at his daughter's determined eyes, unable to say anything against it, "AlasβI hope you won't regret your decision today!" β
"Father, I won't regret it, if I do, I will kill him with my own hands!"
ββ¦β¦β
Epps didn't know what to say, but he sighed and began to think about what else he needed to explain, and at this moment, he wanted to dig out everything in his head and leave it to Nia.
β¦β¦
On the other side, Xia Duo, who had just stepped out of the portal, suddenly felt a chill on his back, not long ago he was reading a book in the mage tower while carefully conducting elemental experiments.
The spell lab hadn't been restored yet, and he had no choice but to do it first, and then there was Taling's sudden contact - Nia summoned.
And this meeting is not in any of the places where they met before, but in the teleportation room, and there is a portal that needs to be passed.
As soon as he stepped out of the portal, he received a summons from Nia, and his voice seemed to be emotionless, which made Xia Duo a little uneasy, and he didn't know what was waiting for him.
At this moment, he didn't even think about the disappearance of the Tower of Time, just glanced at the big pit slightly, and quickly walked towards the town office.
It was nearly evening, but on the day of Midsummer, the Lord of Light seemed to be extraordinarily generous, and the sun was still stubbornly struggling on the horizon, and it seemed impossible to set for a few hours.
The Midsummer festivities continued, cheers and screams abounded, and Chardo gave up passing through the central square, which is theoretically the fastest route and perhaps the slowest in today's view.
He chose to go around from the villa area.
