Chapter 700: Meeting

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ignoring the young man’s astonished gaze, Monica lifted her skirt and hurried over with small steps.

Arriving before him, she joyfully exclaimed, “Lord Ji Chen, what brings you here? I haven’t seen you since you left Lienhardt!”

Looking at the delightful face now slightly flushed from running, Ji Chen smiled gently and replied, “I heard about the demon incident, so I came to see what’s going on.”

“Are you here representing Lienhardt for this meeting?”

Monica agreed with a slight upward curve of her eyebrows, resembling a crescent moon. “Dad’s tied up with important stuff and couldn’t make it, so he sent my brother and me to stand in for him. It’s all about getting some hands- on experience and getting ready to run things here someday.”

Ji Chen nodded. “Julius is probably still dealing with the Bass Kingdom’s territorial issue, so it’s understandable. But I believe you’ll handle this meeting very well, Monica.”

Monica smiled shyly, her face turning even redder. At that moment, the young man approached and greeted.

“Lord Ji Chen, good day.”

Monica quickly introduced, “This is my brother, Sebastian Valencia.”

Sebastian appeared polite and cultured, with a gracious smile on his face.

He spoke with gratitude, “Lord Ji Chen, thank you for helping Lienhardt defeat the Bass Kingdom and saving our mother. I was leading troops outside before and couldn’t thank you in person, so I apologize.”

Ji Chen waved his hand dismissively. “It’s nothing. I simply did what I could, and I also accepted Julius’ reward.”

But Sebastian was earnest. “That reward is rightfully yours, and it doesn’t conflict with my gratitude. Moreover, you also saved Monica before, and she was retaliated against by the Bass Kingdom, resulting in severe damage to our territory. When I heard this news, I felt guilty as a commander, neglecting my duty.”

“On both moral and rational grounds, I should express my gratitude to you again.”

After speaking, Sebastian solemnly bowed once more.

Ji Chen was somewhat surprised but nodded in acceptance.

Monica whispered to Ji Chen’s ear, “My brother is always so serious and stubborn, but that’s why everyone in the principality respects him and sees him as the heir to the grand duchy.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly. Initially, Sebastian seemed like a good candidate for grand duke.

At this moment, Sebastian suddenly said, “Regardless of what others think, I support your relationship with Monica.”

Monica’s cheeks instantly turned rosy, and she retorted with embarrassment and anger, “Brother, what are you saying!”

Sebastian froze, “Monica, aren’t you…”

Seeing Monica preparing to strike, he wisely closed his mouth, though he couldn’t help but worry about his sister.

Monica’s excellence was undeniable, whether in appearance, demeanor, talents, or insight, she was one of the most outstanding women in Lienhardt. In the war between the principality and the Bass Kingdom, she demonstrated remarkable strategic foresight.

It could be said that if Monica were a man, he wouldn’t be the heir to the grand duchy.

However, now Monica’s romantic interest was Ji Chen, a epic-tier powerhouse, and such a young one at that.

Did Lienhardt have epic-tier individuals?

No.

To his knowledge, the principality only had one legendary-tier hero, an elderly one at that, who could only hold out for about ten years at most.

Regarding the heroes Ji Chen was leading at the time, there was one at the legendary tier, three at the legacy tier, and now, with the addition of a Featherfolk warrior at the legacy tier, that made a total of four at the legacy tier.

At least on the surface, the high-level combat power displayed already surpassed Lienhardt by a large margin, and they were all in their prime.

As the heir to the grand duchy, he couldn’t help but think about marriage. If Monica could form a connection with Ji Chen, then the power of the Ocean Crown might not be directly usable by the principality, but at least it could intervene to help in certain future crises, which would be of great significance. However, the biggest problem now was that with such outstanding talents, he was somewhat worried that his sister might not be up to par.

Ji Chen cleared his throat lightly and said, “The meeting is about to begin. Let’s go in.”

Sebastian temporarily set aside his thoughts and nodded. “Lord Ji Chen, please.”

Inside the vast hall, representatives of dozens of orderly races and powers were already seated. The Elven Queen, Laphia, sat in the central seat, with representatives of powerful forces on either side. On the sides and in the distance were representatives of other smaller powers.

In this hall, the strength of each power was clearly distinguished by their seating arrangement.

The seat of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy was in the front left, in the third tier.

The powers seated at the same table as Laphia were all races and kingdoms with profound heritage, originating from ancient times, and there were only two in the Northern Continent.

One was the Markus Empire, the only human empire in the Northern Continent, situated in the southeast and extending its influence to the Eastern Continent. It occupied the canals and inland seas between the Northern and Eastern Continents, forming a vast empire spanning regions.

Based on what players born in that region described, the Markus Empire was said to resemble the Roman Empire on Earth.
