Volume 5 Chapter 137 - True love (1/2)

Of course it was impossible for Xu Yi to stay in the territory that the Moon Shadow Tribe received from the Sack Kingdom, there were still many things for him to take care of.

But before leaving, he left the two hundred Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards that had come with him.

With the strength of these guards and the forest guards of the Moon Shadow Tribe, they would be able to deal with five thousand normal Sack Kingdom soldiers.

Of course, if the Sack Kingdom reacted intensely to this matter, Xu Yi had also warned the Moon Shadow Tribe’s forest guard leader Philip that if he decides that they couldn’t resist, he shouldn’t hesitate to retreat.

This place wasn’t far from the Black Rice Wasteland. As long as they escaped to the Black Rice Wasteland, whether it was entering Black Rice City to the east or the Blakc Rice Harbour to the west, they would be safe.

After telling him this, Xu Yi was planning on returning to the Stantine Duchy, but he never thought that he would find Count Will who had rushed over here when he entered Black Rice City.

Count Will specially made a trip to Black Rice City to wait for Xu Yi, bringing him a personal letter from her majesty Seveni.

After Xu Yi read the letter, he only hesitated a bit before deciding to go back to Anvilmar City with Count Will, accepting her majesty Seveni’s invitation.

Black Rice Wasteland was over six hundred kilometers from Anvilmar City, but with the speed of the Magic Sedans and the roads that connected the Lampuri Kingdom, Xu Yi and Count Will had set off in the morning and they had arrived in Anvilmar City when it was close to dusk.

“Chairman Xu, has it been a long time since you’ve been to Anvilmar City?” Count Will suddenly asked Xu Yi.

Xu Yi looked out the window at city walls of Anvilmar City that was considered familiar and after thinking about it, he found that Count Will was correct.

The last time he came to Anvilmar City, it was when Seveni had just given birth to her child. Although he had run all over, frequently leaving the Stantine Duchy, he didn’t have a single chance to come to Anvilmar City.

Then as time went even further back, he would find that since Seveni took the throne, he came to Anvilmar City less and less, meeting Seveni less and less. The way the two contacted each other the most now had turned into letters.

Although Xu Yi had deliberately done this a bit, thinking about it, he did meet Seveni too few times.

It was no wonder Seveni had a trace of sadness in her letter asking Xu Yi to come to Anvilmar City. She might have also noticed something from Xu Yi’s actions.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi could only feel a bit apologetic and a bit of regret.

The reason why he had contacted Seveni less before was because of their identities. He was afraid that if they contacted each other, something that they weren’t willing to see would corrupt their relationship, ruining the pure relationship that he had had with Seveni.

But thinking about it now, he found that he was completely mistaken at that time.

His and Seveni’s identities have already been set, it couldn’t be changed.

As long as they continued associating with each other, their relationship would be complicated by their identities and they couldn’t avoid it.

The only way to avoid this was to completely cut off all communications with Seveni.

But that was clearly impossible.

Not to mention the close relationship between the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lampuri Kingdom, just based on Xu Yi’s personal relationship with Seveni, Xu Yi wasn’t willing to cut off all communication with Seveni.

So after thinking of this, Xu Yi felt that he had made a mistake before and was too stupid.

Why didn’t he have confidence in having a normal relationship with Seveni?

Even if both sides couldn’t avoid these things because of their status, Xu Yi could have put these things apart, separating business and private affairs. They could have contacted each other privately while also maintaining the cooperation between the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lampuri Kingdom.

Even if there was some contradiction between the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lampuri Kingdom, it wouldn’t affect Xu Yi’s personal relationship with Seveni.

Xu Yi was confident in doing this and confident in Seveni.

Of course, if this couldn’t be done, it would mean that his ability wasn’t good enough and it couldn’t be blamed on others.

Moreover, no matter what, it was better than intentional avoiding Seveni like he was doing right now.

“Un, it has been a long time. Speaking of this…..I only met his highness when he was born, he should be half a year old now, right? How is it? Count Will, have you seen his highness? What does he look like now?” Xu Yi asked Count Will.

Hearing Xu Yi ask about his highness, Count Will looked at Xu Yi with a bit of a strange look. After pausing, he replied, “I’ve also only seen his highness once when I returned to Anvilmar City on business two months ago, he seemed quite healthy and lively.”

“Oh? I don’t know if he looks like Seveni or not. If he does, he will definitely be a very handsome prince when he grows up.” Xu Yi said with a smile.

Count Will’s face couldn’t help twitching a bit.

This chairman Xu, was he deliberately talking about this?

Recently, there was a rumour among the nobles of the Lampuri Kingdom that said the father of the prince was this chairman Xu in front of him!

Count Will had raised his nose at this rumour before, but after seeing her majesty last time, he had carefully looked over his highness. He had found that his highness had looked similar to chairman Xu.

Now that Xu Yi was asking about this, Count Will carefully looked over Xu Yi’s face while also thinking of his highness. He found that their faces were becoming more and more similar.

“Could it be that the rumours are true?” Count Will’s heart was filled with this guess that shocked him, thinking that this was just absurd.

He had guessed many times who the sweetheart her majesty hid was, but he never thought that it would be chairman Xu!

Of course, if one thought about it from serious discussion, this guess was very likely to be true.
