After death?

He will certainly have the opportunity to repay Destin after he dies.

Thinking of this, Sophia walked up to Dalton, stood on tiptoe, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "There's always a chance. As the saying goes, if you keep something in mind, it will eventually come true."

If you always keep a grateful heart, you might meet Lord Destin someday.

I'm hungry, I'll go get some breakfast first. Mr. Dalton, please find a seat. By the way, have you had breakfast yet? If not, come to the dining room and have some with us.”

"I've eaten, Your Highness, please go and enjoy your breakfast. Don't worry about me."

Sophia nodded, and before going to the restaurant, she took out a thumb-sized tree root block from her spatial dragon scales and handed it to Dalton. "This is a snack that Lord Distin gave me. Try it and see how it tastes."

"No, no, Lord Distin's snacks were for Your Highness, I..."

"Try it."

"Okay... alright."

Dalton took the tree root and put it in his mouth. After chewing it a few times, as the rich life energy flowed into his stomach along with the juice of the tree root, disbelief appeared in his eyes.

As a martial artist, he noticed his body rapidly regaining its 'vitality'!

Chapter 41 is truly dragon dung!

What kind of rare and precious material is this?

It can not only repair the hidden injuries in his body from years ago, but also enhance his physical vitality—no, his life force!

He only ate a tiny piece the size of his thumb and it had such a miraculous effect. If he took it every day, wouldn't his body function be able to return to its peak state?

Dalton was shocked. He only knew that the 'Water of Life' from the Elven Court could increase vitality. He never expected that in addition to the 'Water of Life' from the Elven Court, Lord Destin, the Lord of Thunder, also possessed a similar divine object.

No wonder even Princess Sophia is a follower of Lord Destin, the Lord of Thunder.

"I don't have many of these snacks left. I'll ask Lord Distin for some next time I see him, and I'll give you some then."

"No, no, Your Highness's kindness is appreciated, but such a divine object... tasting it once is already an honor, I dare not ask for more. Besides, I haven't done anything for Lord Distin yet, nor have I become a guard for Princess Sophia's caravan..."

"Once I start working for Her Highness Sophia and achieve some results, it won't be too late for Her Highness to grant me one to try."

Dalton smiled and politely declined Sophia's offer. He had already received enough benefits, and he was determined not to gain any more from Princess Sophia before he had served her.

As for serving Lord Distin... with his current strength, he is not qualified to do so.

"There's no need to feel guilty about it. That little snack I gave you earlier, Lord Distin sometimes takes a bite and then throws it away. Sometimes he even uses these little snacks to cultivate some worthless trinkets..."

"?!"

Dalton's eyes widened in disbelief. He could hardly believe what he was hearing. This divine object, comparable to the Water of Life in the Elven Court, was something that Lord Distin didn't seem to care about at all.

Do you take a bite and then throw away the rest?

Could he work as a cleaner at Lord Distin's residence?

I'd even be willing to pay him out of pocket, even if it means not taking a salary.

What a waste...

With such a divine artifact, even if he stayed in Lord Distin's residence for several decades, he could become an 'immortal' level powerhouse.

"You stay here and take care of Leila, I'm going to get some breakfast."

“Wait, Your Highness,” Dalton called out to Sophia. “Your Highness, once Lyra wakes up and becomes a normal person, I would like her to become your maid and serve you.”

"Sure, but you should still ask Lyra if she's willing to be my maid. If she is, I have no problem with that. If she isn't, don't force her."

"Yes."

Dalton bowed to Sophia again.

Sofia went to the restaurant for breakfast.

Breakfast consisted of toast and a glass of warm milk.

Anna and Emily accompanied Sofia to the restaurant.

However, what they were drinking wasn't warm milk, but a tranquilizer.

Having confirmed that even living people could drink the sedative, Sophia gave Anna and Emily each a cup.

The last bit left in the bottle was just enough for Leila.

After drinking a bottle of soothing potion, Lyra became drowsy, probably because the potion was repairing her damaged soul.

Anna, dressed in knight's casual clothes, and Emily, dressed in a maid's outfit, exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected their lord to make them drink the soothing potion.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't envious of a soul-soothing elixir that could heal the soul.

The two of them picked up the tranquilizer and drank it all in one gulp.

"Neither of you should casually reveal Lord Distin's existence."

“Yes,” Anna responded first.

“Your Highness, who is Lord Distin? I have never heard of this name, nor have I ever seen him enter or leave the castle.”

Emily voiced the question that had been on her mind.

Sophia glanced at Emily, thought for a moment, and decided to reveal a little information to Emily.

Emily was also one of the people she trusted most. "You may not believe it, but I've decided to tell you a little bit about Lord Distin."

Lord Distin is someone I met in a dream. He's very strong and kind to me. You two will probably never meet him in this lifetime.

If you ever meet this man, you two must both respect Lord Distin as you would respect me.”

An adult I met in a dream?

This...this...this is too absurd!

Emily stared at Sophia for a while, then shifted her gaze to Anna's face.

Anna nodded to Emily.

It's actually true?!

Is it really true that something so absurd is true?!

Emily's face turned serious. "Your Highness, are you being haunted by the legendary evil god?"

Given the absurdity and strangeness of the evil god, it's not impossible that the innocent and pure Princess Sophia would be targeted by it.

"Lord Distin is not an evil god. Alright, Emily, stop guessing. This is all the information I can reveal about Lord Distin."

Seeing that Sophia was unwilling to say more, Emily suppressed her urge to ask further. Anna had been watching over Princess Sophia and should not let her fall into danger.

A tranquilizing liquid, tree roots brimming with life force...

Such a being is beyond her ability to handle.

"By the way, Emily, what about what I told you yesterday? I feel that it's a bit of a waste for you to take care of my daily life all the time."

Emily remained silent. Princess Sophia had told her yesterday that she wanted her to be the leader of the Thunder Lord's caravan.

She thought "Lord of Thunder" referred to Princess Sophia, but it turned out to refer to Lord Destin.

Actually, she wasn't very keen on being the caravan leader, but if His Highness wanted her to be the caravan leader, she wouldn't refuse.

“If this caravan is important to Your Highness, I am willing to be its leader.”

“It’s very important! Extremely important! If it weren’t important, I wouldn’t have made Emily the caravan leader.”

"Your Highness, rest assured, Emily will certainly not let you down."

As soon as Sofia finished breakfast and arrived in the garden, Agriculture Minister Connor appeared there.

Connor, with his dark complexion, noticed something: these past two days, the dogs that used to bark and chase after him whenever they saw him were now acting as if they had seen some terrifying monster.

They tucked their tails between their legs and stared at him in terror. Some dogs were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground and lost control of their bladder and bowels.

When he's home, there are far fewer insects and ants in the house.

When he went to the fields, the snakes in the grass would all jump and run away when they saw him.

This situation baffled him completely until this morning when he came to the castle to retrieve dragon dung from Princess Sophia...

He suddenly wondered if it was the dragon dung that Princess Sophia had given him that kept insects, ants, big dogs, snakes, and other small animals from bothering him?

Because he came into contact with dragon dung, he became tainted with the dragon's aura...

So...the fermented fertilizer that Princess Sophia gave him...was really dragon dung?

Chapter 42 This is Hell, Not Heaven

There are no dragons in the North, so where did Princess Sophia get her dragon dung?

Only in places where dragons have lived for many years can you find piles of dragon dung.

There is dragon dung, but he had never heard of a dragon that could ferment dragon dung into fertilizer.

It's eerie, sinister, and somewhat mysterious.

Connor felt he needed to get to know Princess Sophia again.

Previously, he only knew that this princess was not qualified to inherit the throne, but after getting to know her, he felt that Princess Sophia had a pretty good personality.

As for his abilities... he's not as bad as the rumors suggest.

If you really have no ability at all, how could you get your hands on properly fermented dragon dung?

Upon arriving at the garden, Agriculture Minister Connor happened to see Sophia placing more than twenty bags of dragon dung on the ground.

"Minister Connor has arrived just in time; this is today's Dragon Fertilizer."

Connor glanced at the dragon fertilizer in front of him, bowed, and asked, "Your Highness, do you keep dragons?"

"I don't have that ability."

"Then where does this dragon... dragon fertilizer come from?"

"secret."

Minister Connor glanced at Sophia, grinned, and didn't ask any further questions.

His Highness was unwilling to speak, and he would not ask further. As the Minister of Agriculture of the North, his duty was to turn the farmland of the North into fertile land.

"I'm just curious, Your Highness, please forgive me."

"It's alright." Sophia took out two walnut-sized tree roots from her spatial dragon scales. "Minister Connor, these are nutritional supplements I prepared for you. Try them."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Connor stepped forward, took the 'nutritional supplement' Sophia handed him, popped one into his mouth, and after chewing it a few times, his reaction was the same as Dalton's before, with surprise showing in his eyes.

Abundant life force!

This...this...this isn't a nutritional supplement at all!

This is clearly a divine object comparable to the Water of Life from the Elven Kingdom!

After swallowing the divine object from his mouth, Connor hurriedly knelt on one knee to thank Sophia.

I never expected Princess Sophia to be so generous, giving him this divine object that can increase life force so readily.

He is currently only doing what is expected of the Minister of Agriculture.

I haven't done anything for this prince yet.

"The divine object bestowed by Your Highness is far too precious. Please take it back."

Sofia stood up and helped Connor up. "Minister Connor works under the scorching sun every day, wandering around the fields, working, and inspecting. He's truly worthy of these two 'nutritional supplements.' I'd like Minister Connor to serve me for a few more years."

So, if I have any more nutritional supplements like this in the future, I'll give them to you again. Take this one home and eat it too.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will certainly not let you down!"

Connor was moved, and he didn't mention returning the tree root to Sophia again. He planned to take the walnut-sized root home for his wife to eat.

His wife takes care of his daily life, and she also has some minor health problems. After taking this nutritional supplement, which is comparable to the water of life, her minor health problems should improve a lot.

They may have all disappeared.

"By the way, Minister Connor, please prepare some vegetable and cucumber seeds for me. Just have someone deliver them to the castle before dark. You don't need to come in person."
