Riley immediately handed the envelope to Vivian and said with a look of admiration in her eyes, “Look, the Elysium-

themed fashion show you organized today has caused quite a stir overseas. It seems like this might be the

beginning of the development of Elysium! Vivian, you're so capable!”

Riley was full of praise for the girl.

When Vivian heard the woman's words, she looked down shyly, her eyes still swollen from all the crying.

Taking over the envelope, Vivian said in astonishment, “This is...”

She took out the dagger with trembling hands.

Riley looked at the girl with a smile and explained, “This is from Kurt. As the next ruler of Elysium, he had written

this letter to express his willingness to collaborate with our government. He has also sent this token that we are

supposed to bring along with us whenever we visit the tribe with the merchants.”

Without a need for further elaboration, it was implied that that meant they could visit Elysium anytime they wished,

as long as they had the dagger with them. Since Vivian was the reason that such a good opportunity was presented

to them, it was obvious that she should be in charge of it.

After hearing what Riley said, Vivian's chest heaved as she experienced a roller coaster of emotions.

However, Riley was taken aback when the girl rejected the offer after a while.

“That sounds good. You guys should make the necessary arrangements quickly and send someone over then.”

“What?” Riley looked at Vivian, stunned.

“That's not it. Vivian, I was hoping that you could take charge of this matter and go to Elysium yourself. Isn't this the

perfect opportunity for you? Don't you want to see him badly? This will allow you to visit Elysium whenever you

wish. You can even enter the place freely—”

“I'm not going there anymore.”

Riley was interrupted by Vivian before she finished speaking.

Vivian downcast her eyes and returned the dagger to Riley before a layer of mist formed in her red and swollen

eyes again.

“Since he doesn't want to see me, why should I go and upset him? Aunt Riley, I've already booked my air ticket to

Yartran. I intend to return to school and continue my studies. Regarding this matter, you should make other

arrangements instead.”

After saying that, Vivian made to close the door with a sorrowful expression on her face.

Riley panicked when she saw that and grabbed the girl's arm at once. Trying to persuade her, she said, “Vivian, you

should calm down first. I know you're very upset right now, but think about it, the only reason Kurt's behaving this

way is because he was fed the worms. That's not who he really is!”

“What?”

Vivian was momentarily stunned.

Riley nodded and replied, “You heard me. Haven't that occurred to you? You've also told me before about his

resentment toward his tribe. Think about it, why would he willingly stay knowing that his mom, sister, aunt,

brothers, and grandparents were all harmed by the king of Elysium? In order to keep him around, the Elysians must

have found a way to control him. Vivian, his life is already hard enough. If you give up on him as well, he would be

utterly miserable.”

She could feel herself choking up as she analyzed the situation for Vivian.

That was indeed how the situation seemed to her.

Riley figured that the reason why Vivian had not realized the truth of the situation was due to her young age. After

all, some things came with experience.

Moreover, Kurt might have hurt her too deeply, causing her to focus on her pain so much that she was unable to

assess the situation objectively.

Riley fixed her gaze on Vivian and continued, “Vivian, we can't do this to him. If he recovers one day and finds out

that all his friends have left him, that even you, the most precious person to him, had abandoned him... how tragic

would that be?”

Hearing that, Vivian gave up struggling. She stood by the door and looked at the older woman in a daze before

bursting out in tears.

“Aunt Riley, I... I don't want to leave him either. But it makes me so sad that he is so cold toward me. He also seems

to detest me so much now.”

“I understand. But Vivian, you need to remember that that's not how he really feels. Just think about those times

when he was still the old Kurt. You should know how well he had treated you back then. I heard from Matteo that

you were more important to Kurt than his own life! You know that right, Vivian?” Riley said gently to the girl.

At that reminder, Vivian stood rooted to the ground, feeling a deep ache in her heart as those images from the past

flashed across her mind.

In the end, she bit her lips and kept quiet.

She could not believe that she had almost forgotten how Kurt had always protected her at the expense of his

life. How could I leave him at a time when he needed me most?

With that thought in mind, Vivian finally agreed.

Two days later, Vivian had a meeting with the overseas merchants at the Cultural Affairs Bureau with Riley

accompanying her. After the meeting, arrangements were made to send them to Elysium.
