Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 37 Master~ You're finally back!

"Why?!" Edward exclaimed in surprise. "You are the most honored member of the royal family. Isn't it only natural for you to live in the palace?"

"But I already have a home outside," Anjie said helplessly.

Edward misunderstood his words and exclaimed again, "What? You're married? Who's your wife? Bring her into the palace too! But Your Highness, if I may be so bold, your status is too high; ordinary women are not worthy of you!"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Anjie was completely bewildered. "Who told you I was married?!"

"Huh? Isn't that right?" Edward was taken aback. "Then why do you have a home outside? And why don't you want to live back in the palace?"

"Well, the reasons are complicated, so don't ask too many questions," Anjie said.

"This...this..." Edward hesitated for a long time, finally giving up under Angie's persistent gaze. "So, where do you live now?"

"I live on the Nibel Plateau?" Ange replied.

"What?! The Nibel Plateau?!" Edward exclaimed in surprise again. "Isn't that a desolate, uninhabited place? How come you're living there?"

Anjie thought Edward was just like a screaming chicken, always jumping up and down.

"I think it's great there, I've gotten used to living there," Anjie said.

"Why don't you go back to the palace?" Edward said softly. "If that's not possible, you can stay in the royal city. I'll arrange accommodations for you."

"I think the Nibel Plateau is great, so it's decided. Let's not discuss this anymore," Ange said to Edward, who was about to launch into a long speech.

Edward: ...

At this moment, Princess Ji Meiya said, "How about this, Father, I'll go with His Highness to the Nibel Plateau later. If His Highness's accommodations are really terrible, we can send people to build a villa for His Highness on the Nibel Plateau."

In any case, all the unclaimed land in Azot belongs to the royal family, and they can build houses wherever they want.

Edward's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea! That's a great idea!"

Ji Meiya added, "Actually, it's not so bad for Your Highness to live on the Nibel Plateau. The Nibel Plateau has a mild climate all year round, and Your Highness has been in poor health since childhood, so living there is a good place for you to recuperate."

Upon hearing this, An Jie gave Ji Meiya an approving look, and Ji Meiya smiled back at An Jie.

After his daughter's reminder, Edward remembered that His Highness Ange had been frail and sickly since childhood, otherwise he would not have died young. "Yes, yes, Ji Meiya is very thoughtful. It seems that the Nibel Plateau is indeed a good place."

Seeing this, An Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, His Highness is back! Let's hold a grand banquet for him! We can take this opportunity to announce His Highness's return to the people, and I'm sure they will be happy for him." Edward suddenly suggested.

"No!" Anjie quickly stopped him, "Let's handle my matter discreetly. I've just woken up and my energy is limited; I can't handle those things."

"I see..." Edward said with a look of regret.

Ji Meiya spoke up at the right moment: "Father, His Highness has just returned, let's take things slowly."

Edward thought about it and agreed. "Then let's talk about these things later." After saying that, he sighed deeply. "It's just too unfair to Your Highness."

Anjie: ...

I don't feel wronged at all.

Angie felt that talking to Edward was too tiring and mentally exhausting.

Next, Angie chatted with Edward and the kingdom's ministers for a long time, until the sun was about to set.

The addition of a member to the royal family involves many issues, especially since it is a member with a very special status.

The ministers argued heatedly about Anjie's situation, with some even arguing that Anjie should not live outside the palace but should live in the palace, and others suggesting that Anjie should be assigned a guard.

Some even felt that since Ange was unwilling to hold a banquet and celebration to announce his return, he should announce his royal status to the nation online.

In short, everything was a mess and extremely complicated.

In the end, all of Anjie's affairs were handed over to Princess Jimia for full arrangement.

As Anjie walked out of the main hall, she breathed a long sigh of relief. It had been so difficult.

Ji Meiya followed closely behind and said to An Jie with a smile, "Your Highness, you've worked hard."

An Jie gave a wry smile.

Just then, a head suddenly popped out from behind the pillar next to them.

"Rakel, what are you doing hiding there?" Jimia asked after seeing him.

"Hehe~~ Sister." Rachel walked out shyly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see Prince Ange."

Ji Meiya said, "If you want to look, just look openly. Why are you sneaking around like that?"

Raquel scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.

"You must be Prince Rakel? It's a pleasure to meet you." Angie greeted Rakel with a warm smile.

The thought that these were all his sister's descendants filled him with a sense of tenderness. He wasn't even that old! How could his mindset suddenly turn into that of an old man?

"Hello... Your Highness Anjie!"

Compared to Himeya, Rachel is much more introverted.

"Your Highness, are you really five hundred years old?" Rachel asked in a low voice.

"To be precise, I've been asleep for five hundred years, and my physical condition is still the same as before I fell asleep," Anjie replied.

"That's amazing! No wonder it's Elifas, they can do that!" Rakel's face flashed with excitement.

Raquel is a huge fan of Elifas, which is why he has been engrossed in various inventions and research since he was old enough to understand.

Anjie smiled. Sure enough, it was the right thing to do to push everything onto Elifas. No one would doubt it, and there would be no way to prove it when they were dead.

The most prominent feature of esoteric science is the word "mystery".

Then Rakel looked at Diancie, "Are you Diancie?"

Diancie nodded. "That's right, Your Highness Prince Rakel."

"You're so beautiful," Rachel couldn't help but compliment.

"Thank you." Diancie readily accepted Rakel's compliment. "Your Highness is also very handsome and cute."

The little boy, who is not even ten years old, is not very handsome; all that's left is cuteness.

"Is...is that so?" Rachel blushed, embarrassed by Diancie's praise.

Upon seeing this, Diancie covered her mouth and laughed.

"May I shake your hand?" Raquel asked shyly.

"Of course, it would be my honor, Your Highness," Diancie readily agreed, extending her right hand to Rakel.

Rakel was extremely excited. He vigorously wiped his hands on his clothes before taking Diancie's hand.

In his mind, Diancie was born because of Elifas, and shaking hands with Diancie meant shaking hands with his idol.

After shaking hands, Rakel stared at his hand and grinned foolishly, making Ange, Diancie, and Jimia laugh.

Anjie said with a smile, "Rakel is so innocent and adorable."

Upon hearing this, Ji Meiya's smile faded, and she sighed deeply, "He's just too naive."

"Oh dear~~ Prince Anjie hasn't left yet!"

Suddenly a voice rang out.

"I happen to have something I'd like to ask Your Highness."

Anjie turned her head and saw a middle-aged man with long purple hair slowly walking out of the main hall.

"And this is...?" Anjie asked, looking at Ji Meiya.

Ji Meiya noticed the newcomer's slightly cold expression. "This is Defense Minister Jarvis, and also a leading expert in the country's mysterious sciences."

"Greetings, Your Highness." Jarvis bowed to Ange.

"Hello, Mr. Jarvis." Angie nodded slightly to Jarvis.

Raquel was delighted to see Jarvis. "Jarvis, you're here!"

"Your Highness." Jarvis bowed slightly to Rachel again, and finally nodded to Jimia, "Your Highness."

Angie asked, puzzled, "Mr. Jarvis, what do you need me for?"

Jarvis first gave Diancie a fervent look, then said to Ange, "I would like to ask you some questions about Lord Elifas. After all, you have seen Lord Elifas in person, and you must have spoken with him. I think..."

Before he could finish speaking, Anjie interrupted him, "I'm sorry, it's getting late, I should go back now, or I'll be too late."

Angie disliked the way Jarvis looked at Diancie, so she had a bad first impression of him.

"Well... alright then." Jarvis's face was a little stiff. "I'll ask Your Highness for guidance again when I have time."

After saying this, Anjie bid farewell to Jimia and Rachel.

"Your Highness, let me see you off," Himeya said.

"Okay." Angie nodded, then said to Rachel, "Rachel, see you next time."

Rakel waved and said, "See you next time, Your Highness Anger."

Afterwards, Anjie was taken back to where the food cart was parked by Jimiya. He firmly refused Jimiya's offer to take him back or to have the guards take him back. He drove the car himself, taking Diancie and the Blue Cotton Bird father slowly away from the palace.

Once outside the palace, Anjie found a secluded corner, put the food cart back into her system inventory, teleported Diancie home, and then flew away from the royal city on her father, the Blue Cotton Bird.

When Anjay arrived home, the sun had just set. He saw Snorlax sitting alone on the steps by the door, looking very dejected.

"Snorlax, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Anja's voice, Munchlax suddenly raised its head, a bright smile spreading across its face. Then, it dashed to Anja's side and gave it a big hug.

"Gang~ Gang~" Master, you're back! I missed you so much!

Anjay didn't come back all afternoon and even summoned Diancie away. Little Snorlax was all alone at home and was extremely worried.

Although Diancie had just returned and told it what had happened, it still couldn't help but worry when it didn't see its master return.

"Okay, okay!" Angie kept patting the little Snorlax's back to comfort it. "I'm back now."

"Gang~ Gang~"

The little Snorlax nuzzled Ange affectionately with its head.

At that moment, Tianxi came out of her house.

"Alright, little Snorlax, you're being affectionate with your master again!"

Snorlax embarrassedly let go of Ange.

Tianxi shook her head helplessly, "She's such a child who never grows up."

"Gah~" The little Snorlax scratched the back of its head and grinned sheepishly.

"Come on, let's go inside."

As she spoke, Ange extended a hand to Munchlax, which Munchlax naturally took.

As Anjie walked, she asked, "Is the tree-pillow koala not home again?"

Speaking of the tree-pillow koala, Munchlax was furious. When Ange brought it back, Munchlax wanted to ask it about Ange, but it just kept sleeping and didn't say a word. Then it rolled out the door again, and Munchlax couldn't catch up no matter how hard it tried.

This is infuriating!!!

Seeing the little Munchlax angrily gesturing its name, Anjay, though not quite understanding, still smiled and comforted it.

"Okay, don't be angry. I'll cook you something delicious tonight."

Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Snorlax completely forgot about Komamura.

Anjax and Munchlax walked into the house hand in hand, only to be surprised to find Kirlia there as well.

"Kirullian, what are you doing here?"

"Chiru~ Chiru~"

Kirullian greeted Ange happily.

After Diancie explained, Ange learned that Kirullian had come to help at the store shortly after Ange left that morning.

Unable to repay Ange for helping Gardevoir and Baby, it could only come to the shop to do its part.

Ange asked, "Since you're here, doesn't Gardevoir need any care?"

"Chiru~ Chiru~~"

Kirlia gestured to explain that their home was very close to Felfin's, and Felfin would help take care of Gardevoir and the baby.

Thanks to the Power Cube gifted by Ange, Gardevoir recovered quickly and is now able to move freely, so there's no need to worry.

Furthermore, Kirlia asked Little Arrow Finch's father to help incubate the eggs. Little Arrow Finch's father often helps everyone incubate eggs, and everyone is used to it. It helps the babies hatch faster.

"I see..." Anjie said with a smile, "Then thank you for your trouble. By the way, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? And bring some Gardevoir along too. Besides Energy Cubes, it's good to have a different flavor every now and then."

Kirullian hesitated after hearing this.

Upon seeing this, the little Snorlax hugged it tightly.

"Gang~ Gang~" Stay here, my master cooks very well, much better than me.

Snorlax is a master of sweet talk, and Kirlia couldn't resist, so she finally had to agree.

() Angie quietly gave the little Snorlax a thumbs up.

The little Snorlax can also wink cutely at Anjam.

When Anjay was about to cook dinner with Munchlax, she was immediately shocked by the pile of things inside the kitchen.

"What... what's going on?" Ange asked, looking at Munchlax and Diancie.

The kitchen was filled with asparagus, water chestnuts, various wild fruits, mushrooms... and many other things that Anjie didn't recognize.

Diancie explained, "These were all delivered by the Pokémon this morning."

These were all gifts from the Pokémon on the plateau, sent as a token of gratitude after learning that Ange had saved Gardevoir and Baby.

Knowing that Angie liked Asile water plants, the mosquito tadpoles specially picked some and brought them to her.

Maril and Lulili knew that Angel liked water bamboo, so they went to peel some. These things are actually quite abundant in Lake Nibel; they grow in large patches.

People didn't know it was edible before.

The tree fruits and mushrooms were all specially picked by everyone.

"You guys... really..."

Looking at the kitchen piled high with food, Anjie felt truly moved. He had only saved Gardevoir, yet he had received gratitude from everyone on the plateau.

Indeed, sincerity must be reciprocated with sincerity.

"Alright, let's hurry up and tidy up all this, or we'll be late for making dinner," Anjie called out.

It's a sweet burden.
