By the time Vivian was awake, she had been sent back to the small town, as Devin and her brothers were worried

that she would lose control of herself at the feast.

However, Vivian did not kick up a fuss this time. After staring blankly at the ceiling for a few minutes, she finally

asked with her eyes still focused above her, “Did you manage to see him?”

Matteo and Ian had no idea how to answer her question.

They had obviously seen him at the feast when the king of Elysium introduced his recently returned son with great

fanfare.

Matteo replied, “Vivi, don't overthink the matter. As of now, our priority is to verify that he's safe. As for the rest,

we'll let Daddy decide once we're back.”

Ian grunted in agreement, “Mm-hmm.”

The brothers felt it was for the best.

Nonetheless, tears suddenly rolled down uncontrollably from Vivian's eyes.

“How can we do that? He hates that place to the core. Furthermore, his mom, sister, aunt, and uncle were all killed

by that beast. To him, that place is no different from a living hell. How can we let him stay there?” Vivian cried out in

agony.

There was no way she would agree to their decision.

Finally, Devin came over.

“In that case... Matteo, you should stay here with Vivian. Coincidentally, I plan to leave some troops in Elysium to

monitor the situation, even though we have destroyed the remnants of Eddie's forces. Thus, you and Vivian can

stay here. At the same time, I'll send someone else from Yorksland over.”

“Is this all right? Will their king agree to it?” Matteo scratched his head.

Nodding, Devin stated, “He already has agreed after I told him about it. After all, he was always been fearful of

those men. Despite the fact that we have annihilated them, he still prefers us to leave some men behind to keep an

eye out.”

Devin had already discussed the matter with the king of Elysium.

Before Matteo could reply, Vivian sat up and grabbed his hand. “All right, then. Matt, let's just stay back here,” she

pleaded.

Matteo responded with silence.

With that, the siblings stayed behind with the small bunch of troops.

In the meantime, Lucy did not recognize them still.

As for Kurt, he never came out since then. Even though Vivian made various attempts to approach the palace, she

did not manage to see him at all.

Instead, she saw someone building a new house for Kurt's grandparents.

“Quick, pour in the cement! We have to make sure that the house has strong foundations! Also, the steel bars...”

After tearing down the dilapidated hut, a group of workers was busy building the new house.

Meanwhile, Vivian watched them with a sorrowful expression.

She thought back to the day when Kurt brought her into the house. His grandparents had served her a bowl of

honey to drink.

She could still remember how sweet the drink tasted back then.

Suddenly, someone called out to her from behind, “Miss, why are you standing out here? Do you want to have a

seat inside?”

Turning around, she was surprised to see Kristoff.

“You... speak our language?”

“Of course I do. Kurt's uncle studied outside of here. Hence, he taught us many things.”

When Kristoff saw Vivian, he smiled so widely that he revealed all his missing teeth.

However, Vivian felt depressed after hearing the name.

My Kurt.

The next moment, she wiped her tears away in front of Kristoff.

After a while, Kristoff finally tugged her by the sleeve and led her into their temporary lodging. Inside, he served her

another bowl of honey.

“Why did you bring her here?” Beatrice queried. “Isn't she the girl that came with Kaiden the other day?”

Kristoff replied with a sigh, “That's right. Since she was crying, I figured that he probably doesn't remember her

anymore.”

After serving Vivian another drink, the old couple noticed that tears had begun to rain down from Vivian's eyes.

After pondering for a while, Kristoff finally asked, “Miss, do you want to see my grandson?”

“I do!” Vivian replied without hesitation as she raised her gaze at him, teary-eyed.

Kristoff nodded in response.

“I can try and sneak you in to see him, but we can't let the king know, as he doesn't want Kaiden to remember us.

Moreover, Kaiden is on a mission now. Only after he has completed it can his mom and sister be released.”

“What did you say? His mom and sister are still alive?” Vivian asked, utterly shocked.

Kristoff nodded.

“Of course they are. However, only the king knows where they have been imprisoned. As a result, he has given

Kaiden three months' time to be worthy of inheriting the throne. Only then will he release both of them.”

As if she had been struck by lightning, Vivian just sat there with a bewildered expression.
