On the return journey, there were no restrictions on horses, arms and other supplies, and as the team was composed of knights, everyone quickly returned to the Principality of Charles.
After settling in, Eloise wanted to find out more from Grand Duke Gros.
Grand Duke Gros seemed to know that Ilosu would definitely ask him for clarification when he came back. Before Ilosu could knock on the door of the study, he heard the Grand Duke's voice: "Come in."
Eloise walked into the study and saw the Grand Priest dealing with a mountain of approval documents.
"Go ahead, I know what you want to ask, wait until I finish reviewing these documents." The Grand Duke didn't even raise his head.
Not long after, the Grand Duke finished processing the documents, looked at Eloise who was calm and composed, and praised: "Sometimes I really wish you were my biological son, but now it seems that it would be better to be my son-in-law!"
"Originally I didn't want to tell you about your life experience prematurely, but Charlie told me that you had awakened your true name in public, exposing the fact that you are a descendant of Pascal and have devilish blood."
The Grand Duke then said leisurely: "At this point, I can only tell you everything. After all, you now have the ability to protect yourself."
"Come with me and I will take you to see the resting place of your mother."
The Grand Duke took Eloise to the Glory Cemetery. At the bottom of the tomb was a separate room with an exquisite and luxurious coffin.
Judging from the cleanliness of this independent tomb, it is often cleaned.
Gross placed a bouquet of hibiscus flowers on the coffin and said softly: "Anna, I brought your son to see you."
Eloise knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times. When he got up, tears were streaming down his face.
Over the years, although the Grand Duke and Fiona treated him like a biological son and brother, Fiona had also lost her mother since she was a child, and the family had always been lacking a mistress.
He also longed to enjoy maternal love and wanted to know his life experience, but he had suppressed himself for so many years and did not dare to ask.
The Grand Duke treated him as one of his own, fearing that if he asked, he would embarrass the Grand Duke. As things developed and changed and his strength increased, Elos became more and more eager to know the truth.
"Your mother's name is Anna Galadriel. She is the most beautiful woman with the purest character that I have ever seen. I was once one of her suitors, but unfortunately, I failed to do so." After saying this, the Grand Duke shook his head with a wry smile.
He shook his head.
"Charlie has also told you what happened later. After your father disappeared, your mother was seriously injured and brought you to the Shire with you, who was one and a half years old. In the end, I tried my best but could not save you from death.
She, Anna passed away half a year later and entrusted you to me."
"The people who killed your parents were from the Holy Empire. Over the years, I have been accumulating strength all the time and actively promoted the alliance of the three empires to jointly fight against the Holy Empire. Unfortunately, the orcs are about to go south, and I cannot risk the thousands of people in my principality.
regardless of"
Grand Duke Gros was also in great pain, with tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
"Father, thank you for your dedication and cultivation over the years. In fact, I came today to say goodbye to you."
"I know there will always be a day like this, but when it does happen, I'm still worried about your safety."
Elos comforted the Grand Justice and said: "Father, don't worry, I just want to go to the Central Mountains to explore the traces of my biological father. No matter whether there are any results, I will come back, for Charles, for you, and for Fiona.
"
The Grand Duke was excited when he heard this: "When you come back, I will marry Fiona to you, and then I will truly be your father."
Afterwards, the Grand Duke fumbled around on top of the coffin for a while, took out a sealed jewelry box, handed it to Ilosu, and motioned for him to open it.
"This is a relic left to you by your mother."
Eloise tremblingly opened the jewelry box and saw a silver ring inside.
There are no gems or complicated decorations on the ring, only a simple string of words, somewhat like the words of high elves.
Eloise put away the ring as if it were a treasure, kowtowed three times to her mother's coffin, closed the door of the tomb, and returned to the mansion with the Grand Duke.
After dinner, Eloise looked at the ring carefully in the bedroom and felt the energy contained in it. This energy was very strange, not magic or any other spell.
Putting the ring on his hand, Elos instantly understood the function of the ring.
It increases one's fighting spirit by nearly ten percent. The stronger the strength, the more obvious the effect. However, I don't know if it will be effective on people in the legendary realm.
Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened, and no one else could enter the Grand Duke's residence without knocking except Fiona.
Seeing Eloise, Fiona couldn't help but get angry and hit Eloise's chest hard with her small fists. Eloise knew she was in the wrong and could only hold on.
"Why?" Fiona's eyes turned a little red, and her eye sockets became moist.
"Fiona, I have to avenge my parents to comfort their souls in heaven."
"Their spirits in the sky hope that you will live well," Fiona shouted. "Don't think that just because you are promoted to the Holy Domain, you will feel confident. If it weren't for Uncle Gonzalez, you would be in trouble when you meet a legendary strongman."
Eloise hugged Fiona tightly and said, "I promise you, I will come back no matter whether there is any result or not."
"Take me with you, okay?" Fiona raised her head in his arms and looked at him eagerly.
"No! Listen, this is a dangerous place. I can come and go freely if I go by myself. I'm afraid I won't be able to take you with me." Elos said decisively.
Fiona lowered her head in annoyance: "It's all my fault. If I don't practice well, I can't even help you."
"Who said it? My little Fiona is a genius girl. As long as she wants to, the legend is within reach."
Seeing that Fiona was silent in his arms, he dropped a bombshell: "The Grand Duke said that when I return in triumph, he will marry you to me. It seems that I will have to rely on you, the future Grand Duke, in the future.
"
"Really?" Fiona raised her head in surprise, and couldn't help but smile when she saw Ilosu nodded affirmatively.
"This ring is for you. It is a relic left by my mother to me. It has the effect of increasing fighting spirit." Elos put a slightly smaller ring on Fiona's middle finger.
Fiona immediately refused: "This is your mother's relic, and it is a very precious magic item. I can't have it."
"This is the ring I propose to you," Eloise said solemnly to Fiona. "This is a female ring, and I can't wear it. I believe my mother would approve of you if she were alive."
Fiona didn't say anything, she picked up Eloise's handsome face and kissed her.
This kiss, like dry firewood, vented twenty years of mutual feelings.
As the clothes on the two of them decreased, they finally fell on the bed.
The two looked at each other with expressions. In the end, lust defeated their reason and broke through the last layer of taboo.
This night, the scenery is beautiful and the time is quiet.
