Chapter 233 - My Daughter, My Pride (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

”That's umm...” I didn't mean to stutter, but lying to my father about anything related to my education was a bad choice to do. Nor that saying the truth was less troublesome as well.

”Lord Satya, how is it going?” The Queen appeared while asking hesitantly.

”It went well, My Queen.” My father stood up and bowed down towards the elegant woman.

The atmosphere around her changed as her full of worry face now had a blooming smile on it. It was not a graceful smile like she showed towards unknown people. It was a smile pure of relief and happiness.

It was a mother's smile. She genuinely cared for him.

”But, it's thanks to my daughter that My Queen's son can be saved.” My father continued. ”Honestly, it was a hard fight, close to impossible. But, since you trust this case to me, I should do my best. Turned out I underestimated the situation. If my daughter wasn't here, I am sure he wouldn't make it.”

My father glanced at me with eyes filled with pride. His eyes sparkled as if he was looking at his most treasured treasure. Pride and excitement were clear in his face.

The surprise in the Queen's eyes was something worth to see. Apparently, she was indeed underestimating me the whole time because of my age. Even though she knew I am the Master of White Army, she had never thought that I could be this powerful.

Well, it was a bit unbelieavable for me too, actually. It was just I had no time to think about it that way. Instead, I learned to control and to utilize it to the fullest.

I was kind of lucky that I could do that step by step under the guidance of the best advisor.

The Queen was stunned as she heard my father's explanation. I was quiet all the while they were talking. Just let a.d.u.l.ts do the talking since I was only a kid in their eyes, anyway.

”I don't know what she summoned, but whatever or whoever they are, they must be powerful since I can't see them.”

Ah, right. I looked at the five flame bearers standing in the room. They were standing still with the blue flame still soared in the sky, burning the remaining dark aura which was left in the air around the house within their parameter.

The Queen could see them -of course, since they were from the same dimension, after all. She was a bit surprised to see the five of them there. But, my father couldn't.

”Flame bearer from White Army.” She whispered. ”You can control them already?” Her eyes filled with doubt and excitement.

”Um, can't I?” I shrugged my shoulders in hesitation. What did she mean by saying that?

The look in her eyes turned excited when she heard my answer. ”Of course, you can. You're totally right. Only blue flame can counterattack the dark aura. I'm really lucky to have you here with us. You have my utmost gratittude, Master of White Army.”

Her attitude changed as she bowed down to me.

My eyes went wide as I saw the gracious and majestic Queen of South Sea was bowing down to me. In a haste, I jumped and prevented her from bowing down.

”There's no need to be courteous, My Queen. I just helped my father finishing his task so that he can go back to my mother's side as soon as possible.”

”Lord Satya is truly blessed with good luck to have you as his daughter.” Queen of South Sea kept singing praise for my father but she didn't sound like a sweet talker.

From her eyes and expression, I knew that she meant what she said. It was an honest and genuine feeling came from her heart. Against this kind of person, I could only blush and smile awkwardly.

However, when I turned to look at my father, those feelings disappeared, replaced with dumbfounded expression.
