Chapter 69: Leo's Intentions
After a while, the door opened, and Leo walked in.
Vanessa hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "My lord, you are back, are you still smooth?"
"It's pretty smooth. Leo motioned for Vanessa to sit down, took off her coat, and asked, "How is Isa's combat skills?"
Vanessa poured a glass of water and handed it to Leo, "Your Highness's talent is quite outstanding, and you can now feel the original energy. ”
Leo bowed slightly, "Well, a month, it's really good, it's really my daughter." ”
Vanessa showed a puzzled expression and said, "My lord, I don't understand, you have worked so hard to escape with Your Highness, and Madame also died for Your Highness, isn't this qiē just to cover up her identity? But why do you agree to her learning combat skills now? This is likely to directly stimulate the bloodline, and then it will be completely impossible to hide it." ”
Leo shook his head, but instead of answering, he asked, "Vanessa, how many years have you been with me?"
Vanessa was a little confused, but replied, "Eighteen years." ”
"Eighteen years, it's been so long, and you're only so tall then. Leo raised his hand and measured it. After a short period of remembrance, he turned to say, "Vanessa, with your current strength, you can get a good life anywhere you want." ”
Vanessa's eyes immediately widened, and she said dissatisfiedly, "My lord, what do you mean by this?
"Of course I'm not trying to drive you away. Leo smiled and replied, "I mean, you can leave, you don't have to worry about us every day." ”
Vanessa pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said firmly, "I will never leave." ”
"What future do you have if you go on like this?" Leo looked at the other earnestly.
Vanessa bowed her head, "I don't want any future. From the day you saved me eighteen years ago, my Vanessa's life is yours, maybe you never regarded me as a daughter, but in my heart, you are my father!
"Father and sister...... Leo smiled bitterly, "Silly boy, even if it is a daughter, there will always be a day when she will leave her father." ”
Vanessa keenly noticed that the other party seemed to have some changes in her feelings, and her heart moved, and she asked, "My lord, are we leaving again?"
Leo sighed, "Maybe not, maybe soon, it's still unknown." ”
Vanessa hurriedly asked, "What did you find?"
"Nope. Leo paused, and continued: "But I've been restless lately, maybe we've been here for too long, and it's time for a change of place. ”
"yes, it's been thirteen years. Vanessa muttered, "Then we have to prepare in advance, what are your plans?"
Leo had already planned, and he didn't hide it from the other party, and said directly: "I want to go all the way west, through the sand sea, to the Elven Empire of the Supreme Forest. ”
Vanessa was surprised, "Those arrogant guys, will they accept us?"
"Think of a way, you can always get in. Isha has grown up, and the Elven Empire is the safest place. It's too far away, the doctrines are repulsive, and those guys can't penetrate it at all. After answering, Leo continued: "I should soon go to the imperial capital with Cremond to deal with some important matters. We won't be able to survive all these years without Crimund's help, so I'll have to help with some help, and Isha's time will have to be handed over to you. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of Your Highness. After Vanessa finished speaking, she hesitated and said, "The bloodline of His Highness ......"
Leo stroked the stubble he had just grown and said, "If you really wake up, there is no way to do it." I figured out that those guys would never let Isha go, and I couldn't protect her for the rest of my life. If Isha has mastered the power, the road ahead will always be easier. With her bloodline talent, she is likely to eventually enter the legendary realm, and even if Orfinia is there in person, she will have the ability to get out. ”
"Your Excellency, how can you mention that name!" Vanessa was startled, and almost went up to cover her mouth.
Leo waved his hand indifferently: "It's not a big deal, her ability is not up to the point of mentioning her name to feel it, otherwise how do you think we have come over after so many years." ”
Vanessa knew that Leo had always been cautious, so she was relieved, "I see, what about the kid named Leo?"
Leo laughed, "To be honest, I kind of like that kid. If I hadn't investigated that kid's deeds, I wouldn't have made the decision I made before. An inferior servant, relying on his own efforts, was able to be accepted as a student by Byron, and it seemed that he would soon be able to be promoted to a full-fledged mage. Is my Leo daughter supposed to live an ordinary life? No, even if I have to clash with them head-on in the future, I want my daughter to stand in the sun. Let's see what kind of journey that kid can get in the end, and if the situation allows, you might as well help him appropriately. ”
"A guy who can learn to cast spells on his own in a few days, I don't have the ability to help him. Vanessa pouted, "But Her Highness Issa's talent would have been the best fit for being an Assassin, and you could have been his best teacher, but because of that kid, His Highness has already decided to become a warrior." ”
Leo wondered, "Why is that?"
Vanessa huffed, "Your Highness said that the warrior can stand in front of the mage, and she wants to protect that kid." ”
"My daughter is older, and I really can't help it. Leo smiled dumbly, and then continued: "Vanessa, if you want, you don't have to call me Lord or Your Highness Isa. You should understand that after coming out of a certain place, we are no longer who we used to be. ”
Vanessa immediately understood what Leo meant, but she couldn't believe it, "Then I'll call you......"
Leo smiled and nodded.
"Father!" Vanessa slammed into Leo's arms, and the resolute female assassin could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, and began to cry bitterly.
............
When Leo returned to his cabin, he found Montoya waiting with excitement on his face.
"Oops, Leo, where did you go?"
Leo wondered, "Go see Isa, what's wrong?"
Montoya said mysteriously, "My father has come back and brought me something good. ”
"Oh, good. Leo guessed that this was the case and pushed the door open.
Fat Fat heard the noise, woke up from his deep sleep, directly ignored Montoya, turned back into his body, and said, "Fat Fat is hungry." ”
"Okay, here's something for you. Leo reluctantly took out the bread he had prepared earlier from the space ring, and muttered secretly in his heart, "According to the introduction in the book, the Ogre is a carnivorous creature, why does it like to eat bread the most? But I'm always going to leave in the future, what can I do with it......"
Montoya had also seen Chubby, so she wasn't too surprised, but just asked, "Why did it come to your room?"
Leo put aside his thoughts for the time being, and while delivering bread to Chubby, he replied, "The teacher has to work, and I'm afraid that it will disturb me, so let him live here for the time being." ”
Montoya looked at Chubby, who was almost half of the room, and said, "It's not a way to go on like this." ”
"That's the only way to do it first, and we'll talk about the rest later. Leo smiled wryly.
