Chapter 452 Easily Satisfied People
Although he had a cold, His Majesty the King was clearly not convinced.

He realized he had been careless, not expecting the enemy to be able to use such powerful freezing magic, and that's how he fell into Azer's trap.

Otherwise, how could a warrior race, whose chief knights are born, lose to a novice demon wielder?
nonexistent!

Unfortunately, his excuses were not only untenable by his own daughter, but even his wife did not support him.

"Although he's a newcomer, he's still the legendary King of Warcraft. Darling, no matter how brave and skilled you are in battle, you probably won't be his match, right?"

Polyphnia then relentlessly berated her husband, making Lucas's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

La Fria can only be described as ruthless.

"In the end, Father, you even used the simulated holy sword, and you were still defeated in a few moves. That proves that you are no match for them, doesn't it?"

La Fria's words made Lucas glare at Aize.

"What methods did you use? How could you crack our nation's proud replica of the Holy Sword like that?"

Lucas's questioning only earned him a perfunctory response from Aize.

"It's just a small trick, nothing more. Don't worry about it."

This blatantly perfunctory response nearly made Lucas fly into a rage.

"Alright, stop doing such embarrassing things." Polyphnia pressed Lucas down and said irritably, "They're not your subjects, and even if they were, they have no right to answer your direct questions."

“He has absolutely no regal bearing,” La Freya said coldly. “To treat the person who saved his daughter and family like this, how come I didn’t know my father had become this kind of person?”

"Hmph!" Lucas was still unconvinced, sniffling as he said, "I don't have a benefactor who would deliberately try to take advantage of my daughter!"

Clearly, this doting father has lost his mind.

"Ignore him, let him sulk." Polyphnia seemed to have lost patience with Lucas and ignored him, turning to Aize with a smile: "The Kingdom of Aldeqia will not repay kindness with enmity for the benefactor who saved our beloved princess."

"Whether it's La Fria or Natsume Yase, the Kingdom of Aldegia will always remember the kindness of saving them."

As she spoke, Polyphnia thanked Aze solemnly, which made Lucas, who was standing to the side, sullen.

"It's just a mission, don't worry about such trivial matters."

Aize shook his head, seemingly unconvinced by Polyphnia's words.

He didn't save La Furia to gain the gratitude of the Kingdom of Aldeqia.

He didn't even do this because of a mission from the Lion King Organization.

The only reason he went to that deserted island was because Natsume Yase was there.

So, it's alright for Natsune Yase to be involved, and saving La Fria was indeed just a small, insignificant thing.

“It’s a small matter for you, but it’s an immense favor to us.” Polyphnia shook her head and said, “We will find a way to repay your kindness in any way, so please don’t find it offensive.”

Aize nodded indifferently and said nothing more.

Polyphnia then turned to look at Natsune Yase, her expression becoming extremely gentle.

"We've finally met, Xia Yin."

Polyphnia's tone was unusually gentle, making it impossible for Natsune Yase to remain silent any longer.

"Hello, Your Majesty."

Natsune Yase seemed a little nervous and even lowered her head towards Polyphnia.

"Don't do that." Polyphnia quickly helped her up and said with a wry smile, "I'm your blood sister, Xia Yin. Even if you're younger than La Fria, you're still my younger sister. There's no need to be so respectful to me."

"I'm sorry, I'm still not quite used to it." Natsumi Yase said with her head down, "I'm very happy that I still have family in this world, but the royal family and such are still too far away from me."

Although she is known as the saint of the middle school, in essence, Natsune Yase is just an orphan who grew up in a convent and was only adopted by her uncle five years ago.

Moreover, even after being adopted by Kenjiro Yase, her life did not change much.

The environment has changed quite a bit. After all, Yase Kensei is her uncle, so he wouldn't be harsh on her in her daily life. But Yase Kensei is a thorough researcher of magic, and a researcher who intends to dabble in forbidden things. Naturally, he can't give Yase Natsune much emotional care.

In addition, her classmates were intimidated by her beauty and dared not approach her, which made Natsune Yase very lonely. She even thought she was an unpopular person, which led to many feelings of inferiority.

The reason she raises so many kittens and can't bear to see them abandoned is because she is too lonely and can only find solace in animals.
This girl, who had been subjected to human experimentation and almost turned into a man-made angel, could never erase the deep-seated inferiority complex in Natsune Haze's bones.

It's fair to say that she herself found it quite incredible.

She was actually a member of the royal family of a country, with royal blood flowing through her veins. Her status was equivalent to that of a princess of the country, and even the princess of the country had to call her aunt.

How virtuous and capable are you?
Given this mindset, Natsune Yase has never truly grasped the reality of her royal status. In other words, she still hasn't accepted it.

Polyphnia was naturally aware of this as well.

but……

"I'm sorry for letting you wander outside for so many years." Polyphnia looked at Natsune Yase with heartache in her eyes and said, "You should have been the most beloved person, but because of your father's cowardice, you suffered so much hardship."

"This is what we owe you, and we hope you can give us a chance to make it up to you."

Upon hearing this, Natsune Yase shook her head.

“I don’t think you owe me anything.” A gentle smile, very similar to Polyphnia’s, appeared on Natsune Yase’s face as she said, “I’ve already heard that the monastery that raised me was built by the late king for my deceased mother, right?”

"Although the monastery is no longer there, many people had left to live independently before that, including myself. I am where I am today because of its existence."

"I am only grateful for this, and I have no complaints, so please don't say that anymore."

Natsune Yase's words moved even Polyphnia and Lucas.

"Are you satisfied with just this?"

Polyphnia looked on in disbelief.

“Yes.” Natsune Yase smiled sincerely, “Although I can’t call it happiness, I’m already very content.”

This is not a lie, nor is it forced.

Despite enduring so much suffering, Natsune Yase still doesn't believe that anyone owes her anything.

She had seen abandoned kittens, homeless and shivering in boxes, meowing from hunger.

She has also seen many orphans like herself, without fathers or mothers, with no one to rely on.

For someone like her, she was already grateful to have a place to live and a monastery to grow up in.

She will no longer ask for more, nor will she hope for more; this is the essence of Natsune Yase.

Essentially, Natsune Yase is a person who is easily grateful and easily satisfied.

Therefore, even towards her adoptive father and uncle who transformed her into a model angel, Natsune Haze harbored no resentment and remained grateful for the five years he had raised her.

Everyone could see this emotion, this sincerity, this gentleness and kindness in Natsumi Yase's smile.

"You really are a good child."

Polyphnia said this with a mix of emotion and pity, which made Natsume Yase look embarrassed.

"So didn't I say that Xia Yin isn't the kind of person who would get carried away by her royal status?"

La Fria spoke up with a smile from the side.

Presumably, this princess has already confirmed what kind of person Natsune Yase is through her observation of her, and has also sent her evaluation of her back to the royal family, right?
Although this is a journey to find relatives, whether Natsune Yase is qualified to be recognized by the Aldeqia royal family is another matter entirely.

What if we find someone who's planning to seize power?

What if she finds someone who resents the royal family for abandoning her?

Even if such a person were found, wouldn't it be more of a disadvantage than a benefit to the royal family and even the entire Kingdom of Aldeqia?
Ultimately, Natsune Yase is an illegitimate child. Even if she is Polyphnia's biological sister, who wouldn't be wary of her since they are not from the same mother?
Let alone those who are not from the same mother, even true siblings from the same mother can fight to the death in the royal family.

As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in the business world, and royalty is often ruthless. If bringing back Natsune Yase, this illegitimate daughter, would ultimately threaten the legitimate status of Polyphnia and La Furia, then it would be better not to bring her back at all.

La Fria's visit to Itogami Island was ostensibly a visit, but secretly a search for relatives. In reality, it also carried an element of investigation, with the mission of confirming whether Natsune Yase would bring any negative impact to the royal family.

After spending some time together, La Fria confirmed that her adoptive aunt, Natsune Yase, was an innocent and harmless little girl.

Therefore, welcoming her back naturally became the wish of La Fria and the others.

If a girl who inherited royal blood and possesses extremely high spiritual talent could be welcomed back to the country, it would be a great thing for Aldeqia.

Perhaps, Natsune Yase's existence can bring new power to Aldeqia.

pity……

"Are you really not planning to come back to Aldiqia with us, Xia Yin?"

Polyphnia finally asked the question.
