Seeing the teasing look in the head maid’s eyes, Monica blushed even more, feeling her cheeks burning. She had to force herself to maintain a composed demeanor and said, “Let’s go quickly. Father must be getting impatient.”

The head maid, seeing Monica’s discomfort, stopped teasing and reverted to the dignified manner she had cultivated while serving the Lienhardt court for decades. She followed Monica to the castle’s main hall.

In the hall, two figures had been waiting for a while.

One was a burly figure with muscles like layered rocks, and a face adorned with a dense beard that resembled the dark forests. The thick, black eyebrows exuded an imposing air. He sat there like a slumbering lion.

This was Julius Valencia, the Grand Duke of Lienhardt.

However, the fierce gaze that was pressuring the attendants softened the moment it fell upon Monica. His booming voice filled the hall.

“My dear daughter, you’re finally here!”

“Don’t be so loud! Don’t you realize your booming voice is like a bear’s!?”

The slim figure sitting next to him scolded him gently. Although the voice was soft, it made the lion-like Julius lower his volume instantly.

With a hint of reluctance, he muttered, “I was just so happy to see my daughter…”

“Didn’t you meet her just yesterday? Do you want to see her every moment of the day?”

As Monica watched her mother, who appeared delicate, admonishing her father, who was as massive as a bear, a smile couldn’t help but appear on her face.

For the past two to three decades, the queen and the king had been inseparable companions. They bickered every day, but it was their way of getting along. In reality, they were deeply in love, supporting and bolstering each other.

In the duchy, their relationship had long become a heartwarming tale.

Monica followed the customary practice of politely greeting both of them before taking a seat on the opposite sofa.

“Father, is there something you want to discuss with me?”

Julius cleared his throat and said, “My daughter, I’ve called you here to discuss the matter of the sea beast tide.”

“Sea beast tide?”

Monica furrowed her brows slightly, feeling a sudden sense of unease in her heart.

Julius nodded, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness.

“Yes, according to information gathered from various sources, a once-in-a-century sea beast tide has fully formed in the southern parts of the Western Ocean and is heading northwest towards the coast.

Based on reports from fleeing merchants and residents, the sea beast tide has already swept through and ravaged the central sea areas of the Western Ocean, with numbers reaching tens of millions. Many islands and archipelagos have been submerged under the iron hooves of these sea beasts. This will undoubtedly have an impact on our war with the Kingdom of Bass…”

Seeing Monica’s face suddenly turn pale, Julius was taken aback, becoming flustered as he spoke, “What’s wrong with you, my daughter? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you all still standing there? Quickly, call the palace physician!” “I’m fine!” Monica bit her lip, her eyes showing signs of panic. “Father, among the fleeing residents, were there any from a territory called the ‘Crown of the Ocean’?”

Julius paused for a moment. “I haven’t heard of it for now. But… is there anything noteworthy about that territory?”

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that his daughter had sent a small fleet to the central sea area of the Western Ocean. Could this territory called the ‘Crown of the Ocean’ be related to their expedition?

Seeing his daughter’s complexion grow even paler, he hurriedly spoke, “My dear daughter, don’t worry. First, tell me why you’re so concerned about that territory.”

Monica tried to calm herself down, her voice trembling as she said, “The ‘Crown of the Ocean’ is the territory of the Lord of Glory who rescued me and the Radiant Envoy and others when we were attacked by the Kingdom of Bass on our way back. Its location is in the central sea area of the Western Ocean.”

Julius suddenly realized what was happening. He heard about a Lord of Glory who had risked offending the Kingdom of Bass to save his daughter. Later, his daughter withdrew a batch of rare resources and a few blueprints from the treasury to send as a reward. He chose to turn a blind eye, considering it as payment for rescuing his daughter.

However, apart from that, he hadn’t paid much attention to that Lord of Glory or the territory, as with the Kingdom of Bass as a major threat, anything that couldn’t help them immediately had to be set aside.

But now, he didn’t know what to say.

Such a large-scale sea beast tide might have already submerged that territory. He didn’t believe that a Lord of Glory could withstand the onslaught of a large number of sea beasts.

The Queen timely took a seat beside Monica and comforted her, saying, “My daughter, try to think positively. Maybe that Lord of Glory has already sensed the danger and evacuated to a safe place in advance.

Perhaps he didn’t come here to the duchy but chose to go somewhere else, or maybe he’s still on the way. Those Lords of Glory have exceptional information networks, and they should have received warnings from others.”

Seeing the worried expressions on her father and mother’s faces, Monica nodded with an effort to hold back her inner sadness. “Yes, it’s likely that he’s taken precautions. He defeated a reconnaissance fleet of the Kingdom of Bass and captured several warships. With those warships, they should be able to evacuate in time, even with the sea beast tide approaching.

Father, Mother, I’m sorry for startling you earlier. I just didn’t expect this, and I panicked..”
