Chapter 376 - 238: The Only Prince, Secret Leaf (Double-Length)
"So, everyone on the Isle of Light and Dark, including you, has an iron body, the kind with gears?"
"To be precise, all creatures do." Daniel replied.
"This place of yours is very strange, and I’ve also become quite strange. I can feel a warmth in me, and something in my left chest keeps beating. I don’t know what it is..."
"A heart. It’s called a heart." Mira pointed to his left chest. "If it stops beating, it means a human’s life has come to an end."
"It’s probably equivalent to your gears."
"A heart..."
Daniel repeated, placing his right hand on his left chest, feeling the heartbeat.
"What a wonderful feeling..."
Seeing this, Mira and Lina exchanged glances.
Lina was increasingly certain by now that he must have come from some extraordinary place.
"By the way, you mentioned earlier that your fiancée is named Nicole, right?"
"What does she look like?" Noemi asked curiously.
Compared to bodily differences, she was more interested in the gossip surrounding Daniel.
"Nicole..."
Hearing Noemi’s query, a gentle smile appeared on Daniel’s face involuntarily.
"She is the Princess of the Bright Kingdom, very pretty, gentle, and kind, but sometimes mischievous, never following the rules..."
"How did you two meet?" Noemi’s eyes lit up, eagerly continuing to ask, "Was it like in fairy tales, where you, as a hero, slayed the Evil Dragon or something, and the King offered the Princess to you?"
At this point, Daniel scratched his head a little awkwardly.
"No... not like that..."
"Nicole was flying a kite, and it flew out of the castle. I happened to be practicing swordsmanship where it landed..."
"Then she insisted on dragging me to find a flower... and that’s how we got to know each other..."
"And how did you define your relationship?" Noemi pressed on.
"Well..."
Daniel blushed even more, his voice getting smaller.
"...Nicole said she’d like me to protect her..."
"...I said... I am the Kingdom’s Knight; it’s my duty..."
"Then she said... she said..."
"What? What did she say?" Noemi continued to ask, afraid to miss a word.
"Noemi!"
Lina stepped in and tugged her ear. "Is this how you ask?"
"Ouch, ouch..." Noemi cried in pain.
"...She said... she said she doesn’t lack Knights, and asked if I’d be willing... to be by her side forever... as her one and only... Prince..."
"Oh my, oh my..." Noemi had an auntie’s smile on her face.
Daniel’s face was red like a monkey’s butt at this point, incredibly embarrassed.
"Noemi, you really are something..." Lina also smiled but still glared at her.
Noemi chuckled.
"It’s precisely because of Nicole that I became the Bright Kingdom’s Oath Knight."
"Are there Extraordinary beings on the Isle of Light and Dark too?" Mira asked.
Hearing her words, Daniel shook his head, a bit puzzled, "Extraordinary? Never heard of them. On the Isle of Light and Dark, there are only Knights and Wizards..."
"Oath Knight is already the pinnacle of the Knight profession."
"What happened to your eyes?" Lina frowned slightly, "When we rescued you, there was a strange power corroding your eyeballs."
At this point, Daniel fell silent for a moment.
"It was Prince Peter of the Dark Kingdom."
"He is a Cursed Wizard. Because of the war between the two kingdoms, he and I were sworn enemies. After the war ended, he found me."
"It might also be because of him that I ended up here."
At this point, Daniel’s mood once again turned somber.
He was very worried about the Kingdom and Nicole’s safety now.
After all, a Cursed Wizard is insidious and powerful. Although the Kingdom isn’t weak either, without his presence, it could be very dangerous.
But no matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do. Without Rogel and the others’ help, he would be like a headless chicken searching aimlessly, wasting more time.
"I will definitely return to the Kingdom and put an end to Peter’s evil deeds!"
Daniel’s expression was resolute.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other.
Then, Mira pulled Yas and Lina outside the room.
"Do you guys have a strange feeling?" Mira asked.
"Isle of Light and Dark, Bright Kingdom, Dark Empire, Prince, Princess..." Lina pondered with a frown.
She had the same feeling, but couldn’t quite pinpoint it.
"Like a fairy tale." Yas suddenly said unexpectedly.
"Exactly!"
Their eyes lit up, agreeing simultaneously.
"It’s just like a fairy tale feeling." Mira nodded.
"Yes." Lina agreed, then thoughtfully added, "Generally, no country names themselves something like Bright and Dark. It’s a bit too casual."
"The fact that he transformed from an Iron Puppet into a human is also very strange." Mira said, then shrugged.
"I really don’t know who Captain Rogel has fished up this time." Lina shook her head and looked towards the distant giant tree. "Let’s wait until he comes back. The one on Giant Tree Island should be able to give him an answer."
...
"Truly incredible..."
"Captain Rogel, you truly are a very special person..."
The voice of the Tree of Life was filled with shock, almost unbelievable.
From Its perspective, Rogel merely wandered around the Deep Root Maze for a while, then turned back to say he found the source of the erosion.
If It hadn’t confirmed it by itself, it would be hard to believe it was indeed true.
