The plane carrying the three elders made a sudden turn, and Fiona felt an immediate shift in the situation deep
within his heart.
Facing the imposing Warriors Den, Fiona had managed to secure several victories despite being at a clear
disadvantage.
Now, not only had the Warriors Den suffered heavy losses in terms of soldiers, but they had also lost three of their
marshals. Even more significant was the fact that Morgana’s confidence was starting to waver due to the “Empty
City Plan.”
Fiona had formed a mental picture of Morgana based on his speculations. Although they had never met, he could
sense certain traits in this woman. She was naturally suspicious and extremely cautious.
If it weren’t for her inherent suspicion, she would never have been able to utilize nepotism to place the Mirren
family at the core of the Warriors Den. If it weren’t for her extreme caution, she wouldn’t have been so adamant
about concealing her true identity, fearing that outsiders might uncover her secret.
Therefore, the more pronounced these traits, the less willing she would be to take risks.
Based on this, Fiona concluded that once Morvel Bazin’s portrait was revealed, Morgana would never dare to return
to Aurous Hill.
Fiona let out a sigh of relief and planned to call Maria to share the good news, hoping it would bring her some
peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, as he reached for the phone beside him, he received a call from Maria.
Fiona answered and heard Maria’s voice on the other end, “Young Master, I just discovered that a Boeing 777
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdeparting from Buenos Aires suddenly changed its course! The three elders should be on that plane. Did you see
them?”
Surprised, Fiona asked, “You noticed that plane too?”
Maria replied, “Our family has been monitoring flight activities in South America. When I saw the change, I
immediately contacted you. But it seems my call is a bit redundant since the young master is already aware.”
Fiona chuckled and said, “It’s not redundant at all. The fact that both of us noticed the same plane further confirms
our suspicions. There might be some errors in our assumptions, and Morgana must have recalled the three elders.”
Maria giggled and remarked, “Master, your plan was truly brilliant. Employing the ‘Empty City Strategies’ not only
resolved the immediate crisis, but also forced Morgana to retreat like a frightened mouse. Compared to Zhuge
Liang’s famous arrow strategy, it’s not far off!”
Blushing slightly, Fiona’s aged face showed a hint of embarrassment as he replied, “Miss Clark, please don’t praise
me like that. How can I compare myself to the great Mr. Zhuge? No matter how intelligent he was, he could never
match the capabilities of the young master.”
After his response, Maria didn’t continue on that topic and instead asked, “What are the young master’s plans
now?”
Fiona replied, “I don’t have any immediate plans. My family is still in Aurous Hill, and I intend to meet them. It’s time
to address the grievances and misunderstandings accumulated over so many years, face to face.”
Maria agreed, “Young Master should indeed go meet them. They have been waiting for their grandson since last
night.”
Checking the time, Fiona realized it was still before noon and said, “Yesterday’s battle was truly exhausting. With
Morgana now having defeated the three elders and retreated to the Warriors Den, I
can finally catch a breath. I plan to rest at home in the afternoon and visit my grandparents in the evening.”
Maria concurred, “From last night till now, the young master has gone through so much. A good rest is definitely
necessary.”
Softening her tone, she added, “In that case, I won’t disturb the young master’s rest. After you’ve taken care of
your current affairs, if you wish to see me, feel free to contact me.”
Fiona replied, “Tonight, I’ll go to the Elys-Champ Hot Springs to meet my grandparents at the half- mountain villa.
Later, I’ll stop by Zilian Villa. Since I made a promise to the elders today, we can’t keep them waiting for too long.
Especially your grandpa, his health is deteriorating, and he can’t afford to wait.”
Excitedly, Maria asked, “Is the young master really going to Zilian Villa tonight?”
Fiona affirmed, “Absolutely. But if it’s inconvenient for Ms. Clark and the elders, we can make alternative
arrangements. If you don’t want the staff at Zilian Villa to see me, I can arrive beforehand and keep a low profile.”
Quickly responding, Maria said, “Master, the situation tonight is different from this morning. There’s no need to hide
in advance. Unless…”
Curiously, Fiona asked, “Unless what?”
Shyly, Maria replied, “Unless… unless the young master comes tonight and decides not to leave…”
Surprised, Fiona exclaimed, “Ahem… how could that be… Don’t worry, Miss Clark. I won’t overstay my welcome.
After a brief visit, I’ll make sure the three old gentlemen wait for me at your other courtyard.”
Although Maria blushed, she couldn’t help but pout and grumble inwardly, “Is the young master truly oblivious or is
he pretending? Oblivious? The young master can outwit Morgana, so how can he not understand the boundaries
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbetween men and women? During the Ming and Tang dynasties, even a glimpse of a woman’s arm was considered
compromising, not to mention that the young master witnessed everything in my chambers last night. Yet, he’s still
by his son’s side. If this were the era I grew up in, being so close to a man without being married would only lead to
one outcome… being thrown down a well…”
Despite living for over three hundred years, Maria’s core beliefs hadn’t changed since the time she first consumed
the Eternal Green Pill.
Since childhood, Maria firmly believed that chastity and finding a husband were of utmost importance for a woman.
So, when Fiona emerged from the hot spring pool last night, she had convinced herself that she would never marry
in this lifetime.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, “Young Master, don’t you know that the only solution for the
Nujia in terms of love, reason, and everything else is to marry the young master?”
“The young master saved my life, and I have developed genuine feelings for the young master. This is the first time
I have experienced such emotions in over three hundred years. Naturally, I wish to marry the one I love.”
The young master has seen every inch of my body and has been intimate with me. If he doesn’t marry me, how
can the master expect me to behave in the future?”
“If the young master is willing to marry me, I can understand the laws and regulations. Since the young master has
already married a legitimate wife, I don’t require the formalities of matchmaking. For the rest of my life, I am
willing to be a concubine by the young master’s side. But if the young master refuses to marry me, then I… will
remain unwed for the rest of my life!”
