Chapter 139 I Won't Tell You

In the afternoon, Leo took a walk in the back garden of Moonlight Castle, accompanied by Hex, Heya, and Hela.

This was Earl Hayden's suggestion, hoping that Leo could get closer to the three Evening Primrose siblings.

"Heisel's child, and Hemingway's child—" From the window, watching the four of them stroll together, Earl Hayden smiled sincerely, the wound in his heart left by Heisel's death slowly healing.

Everyone dies eventually; some die sooner, some later.

But as long as children continue from generation to generation and the bloodline can continue to reproduce, then death itself is not so terrible.

"Brother Leo, let me sing you a song." Hela, only six years old, was the most lively of them all.

"OK."

So Leo sat on a swing and listened to Hela singing an unknown song in her innocent childlike voice.

It sounds really good; it must be from someone who studied it professionally.

Nobles always have plenty of time to refine their lives.

After the song ended, Leo immediately clapped: "You sang so well, Hela, you have the talent of a performer."

"Hehe, I want to go to the grand stage in White Dragon City and sing for the King and Queen!" Hela declared.

Just then.

Leo felt a warm guide coming from his palm, and he led the three Evening Primrose siblings along the way, until they arrived at a vineyard.

The source of the warmth guide is one of the grapevines.

When he touched it.

Suddenly, the sound of a children's song filled my ears: "I am a grapevine, a grapevine, a grapevine, I have many little secrets, little secrets, little secrets, I have many secrets, but I won't tell you, I won't tell you, I won't tell you!"

After listening to the meaning of flowers.

Leo was completely bewildered. Had he really just listened to a children's song?

He stared intently at the grapevine, memorized its location, then plucked a bunch of grapes and began to eat.

"I hope you really do have a secret, and I'll listen next time!"

Guangzhu grapes are just delicious.

However, it doesn't directly increase battle qi, nor does it enhance holy light elements; it's just rich in nutrients.

A day later.

Leo was preparing to return home; he needed to get back to participate in the Knights' joint training to avoid being caught off guard on the battlefield.

Regardless of whether the Glowing Mushroom Knights can achieve promotion, Leo himself needs to accumulate merits to facilitate Earl Hayden's efforts to upgrade him from a family lord knight to a kingdom-affiliated lord knight.

"Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt—Hex, Heya, Hela—please wait a moment." Riolema turned around.

Beside him were not only Pluto's guards, but also little Vian, the thin and frail knight.

In addition, Count Hayden specially assigned him a squad of knights led by a Phantom Beast Knight to escort him back to the Firefly Wilderness.

"Leo, come over and play whenever you have free time. Make Moonlight Castle your home." Uncle Hemingway nodded in greeting.

Lady Hurley added, "Hextech and the others like you very much, Leo. You're brothers, so don't forget each other."

.

"I won't forget," Leo nodded.

"Goodbye, Leo!" The three Evening Primrose siblings waved goodbye.

Leo waved back, glanced at Earl Hayden who hadn't made any move, and said loudly, "Grandpa, please take care of yourself. I will come to visit you again next time with a gift that will satisfy you."

Having said that, he lightly flicked his whip and led his squad of knights swiftly onto the main road, soon disappearing from the shores of Moonlight Lake.

Our trip to Moonlight Lake has come to an end.

On the way back, Leo felt completely at ease.

Although his maternal grandfather doted on him and his uncle was refined and easygoing, it was ultimately not his own home. As a transmigrator, he still preferred to run wild in his own territory.

We traveled until noon.

Before even leaving the Moonlight Lake territory, the group entered a manor for repairs, where two flags were hanging.

One side features the green flag of the fluorescent mushroom family, and the other side features the yellow flag of the evening primrose family.

This was Mrs. Heather's dowry when she got married. The three siblings were entitled to inherit it, but of course, it would most likely be taken by Neander. Leo's eldest brother was not exactly a model of brotherly affection.

The people at the manor immediately arranged for a meal.

Leo and a knight in his thirties from the knight squad sat alone in a room, chatting about the "Holy Word" spell.

"Lord Lucio, on your journey to the Firefly Wilderness, a thousand miles away, won't you miss your family?" Leo flipped through "The Art of the Holy Word," but his mind wasn't on the book; he was looking at the knight before him.

This knight named Lucio was a 2nd-tier Grand Knight and a 1st-tier Priest, also known as a 1st-tier Light Knight.

He was Earl Hayden, the "teacher" appointed for Leo.

It's like giving him to Leo to be a follower. Sometimes, a knight can be treated as an "item" by a lord and given away. Of course, if the knight himself is unwilling, most lords will not force him.

Lucio was plump, with a dignified and Buddha-like appearance, and a warm smile often graced his face: "I have dedicated myself to the Holy Light, and my familial ties are severed, but I have yet to repay the great debt of gratitude I have received in this life—"

It was Earl Hayden who saved his entire family and nurtured him into a successful individual.

So Lucio, who had become a fanatical believer in the Holy Light, now had only one thought left: to repay the debt of gratitude.

Count Hayden then assigned him to Leo, making him follow Leo and serve Leo as a way of repaying a debt of gratitude.

"Alright." Leo had no intention of subduing the other party.

After all, he was a fanatic, and there was no point in wasting words on him: "In that case, when we get to the Swamp Manor, I will build a Holy Light Cottage there, and you will be in charge of the Holy Light faith in the manor from now on."

"Yes, Lord Leo." Lucio nodded with a smile. "That suits me perfectly."

"Cultivating healthy plants is also essential."

"certainly."

During the meal, Leo suddenly remembered that he had taken a duke's daughter as his servant, so he called little Vian over.

"We're about to leave Moonlight Lake, little Vian. ​​You're a native of this place, so I'm giving you a chance to back out," Leo said. "If you wish, I can release you from your follower's oath and let you stay and live here."

Little Wei'an quickly replied, "Sir, I'll follow you!"

"Alright, you chose this path yourself. Don't complain about the hardships along the way." Leo shook his head and stopped exploring.

Who knows what this duke's daughter was thinking, or why she got so attached to me.

However, during his journey that afternoon, he suddenly understood something about Xiao Wei'an's idea, because he had triggered another luminous plant by the roadside.

"It's Princess Vivian. Oh, poor thing, she's been stuffed into a child's body. When will she be able to break free? But she met Young Master Leo, which is perhaps a blessing in disguise. I wish her good luck."

Princess Vivian?

On the back of the warhorse, bathed in light and shadow, Leo pondered silently.

Princess is an honorific title for the daughter of a duke. Only the daughters of independent monarchs such as kings and grand dukes can be called princesses. Although dukes are noble, they are still only "half-monarchs", so the daughters of dukes can only be called princesses.

In theory, a duke's fiefdom was roughly the size of a "county"—about the area of ​​a province.

"Vivian — Vivian — Sealed in an Innocent Form —"

Princess Vivian, who is of marriageable age, is obviously not young; she is probably seventeen or eighteen. However, her current appearance is that of a child of about ten years old.

Leo couldn't imagine how an adult could be stuffed into a child's body. Vivian had clearly suffered a lot and would continue to suffer in the future.

But as the flower's language suggests, meeting Leo was her good fortune: "Alas, yet another poor soul needs my help."
