Chapter 635

"If the Duke visits Edina, it would be good. The Council of Elders' response was to leave it up to him. However, Lucynil suggested that we limit the Duke's visit to Edina to just one person, as it could be dangerous. Of course, I agreed, as did Harriet. We don't know if the Duke will really provide any clues, but if he can't, it will be a shame. Maybe something will come up if we think about it together. And so, a few days later... " Translation: At the previous meeting, they couldn't discuss certain things, but now they have no reason to keep secrets and explain everything from start to finish. Harriet seemed more excited than ever, having done something and wanting to do something useful. She said that's how they were able to create this world. The Duke looked down at his daughter, who was talking excitedly about what she and others had accomplished, including how Olivia helped people despite her bad reputation, how succubi were loved by many, and how Charlotte was stabilizing the confused Edina. It was strange, as the Duke should have been the one receiving praise, but he felt overwhelmed by Harriet's enthusiasm. She loved this country and felt proud of what she and others had done. The Duke wondered if he felt the same way. He put his hand on her head as she talked non-stop, and said it reminded him of when she used to show off her magic skills. Harriet looked at him, surprised, and he explained how she used to look at him with that same proud expression whenever she learned a new spell. The Duke thought it was cute to imagine her as a child, eager to learn and show off her skills. He remembered how she used to brag about anything new she learned or recite poetry she memorized. It was natural for children to want their parents' praise, and he couldn't help but find it endearing that his genius daughter was proud of her hard work. But in the end, she was still just a child. The Duke looked down at her and said how she had saved countless people and was now boasting about it. She had grown up from the child who brought home perfect test scores to someone who could save many lives. The Duke's eyes were now red with tears. He lifted Harriet up by her arm, as if she were still a child, and said how proud he was of her. She was no longer just a smart, arrogant girl, but someone who thought of others and had the ability to help them. "Seeing her take pride in saving someone's life, what parent wouldn't be moved? 'Well done. Our daughter.' It was the best compliment and gratitude the Duke could give as a parent. It was the same as when Harriet was a child, but the weight of it was different. The Duke lifted Harriet up by her arm, as if she were still a child, and told her how proud he was of her. Harriet had grown up from the child who brought home perfect test scores to someone who could save many lives. The chapter ends on a touching note, highlighting the Duke's love and pride for his daughter." Translation:

After living through near brainwashing and coercion, Olivia has become an empty person. She watches Harriet and the Duke's backs with a gaze that seems to imagine what she never had. Olivia laughs sarcastically at herself, wondering if she's gone crazy. She admits to being scared lately, but it's unclear what she's afraid of. The Allied forces are marching forward, but they haven't fought anyone yet. The commanders know that an unknown powerful force is fighting against them and that the Empire is using some kind of evil power. People naturally think of the demon king. The rumors of a power that cannot be revealed, an evil power, and a powerful force spread in fear and uncertainty. The people's imagination of the demon king is more terrifying than the reality, and they wonder why the Empire is helping him. The rumors are baseless, and people fill in the gaps with their own fantasies. The Allied forces are busy with their heads, but nothing is certain. As time passes, in May, the Allied forces cancel all routes to other major cities and move in one direction towards the capital, Diane. They haven't conquered all the other cities yet. However, the Allied forces move straight towards the location where the final battle is scheduled. "Rosentine was able to handle Immortal with just that... impressive." Berthus was reading the battle report of Immortal absentmindedly. The port city of Rosentine was practically in a situation where three major cities were attached to each other because there was a large city nearby. Therefore, if they entered Rosentine's sphere of influence, they would have to conquer three cities in succession. As each gate became more and more dangerous, if they left this place as the last conquest point, they might not be able to end the gate situation. It was a place that was even harder to conquer than the capital. In fact, since it was a situation where they could not conquer only one city, they had to subdue all three cities at once. Therefore, Immortal decided to attack the area from Rosentine before it became impossible to subdue, and succeeded in pacifying the area with only Immortal. "But about 80% of Immortal was destroyed. It seems impossible to perform the battle with only Immortal to capture the major cities now." "From now on, we cannot trust only Immortal." "Yes, Your Majesty." Titan and other Allied forces also have to fight. They destroyed the three major cities near Rosentine, where the biggest battle was expected. The Allied forces now march towards the capital, Diane. There are only three major cities on the route. Immortal will handle the remaining small and medium-sized cities during the march. If the Allied forces can capture all three of those cities, the gate situation will end. There are three battles left. The end is in sight. They can put a mark on this annoying flow of destruction. Immortal cannot hide forever. When the large-scale battle begins, Immortal must fight with the Allied forces.
