Chapter 317: I am proud of you...



Silver Mansion, Lia's room.

Mel walked over to Lia's bed quietly, and after noticing that Lia was still sleeping, she sat beside her and started to whisper in her ears.

"Milady, your boyfriend came over to look for you..."

Lia was still feeling lazy, didn't wake up, and lazily said,

"Let me sleep five more min~"

The expression on Mel's face remained as calm as ever after hearing those words, and she said,

"But Milady, the other maids are flirting with him; you need to get up, or your little boyfriend will be stolen-"

Hearing Mel's words, Lia immediately sat up with a shocked look on her face. The laziness in her eyes disappeared in an instant.

"What!? That's impossible!"

Only after Lia fully woke up did she figure out that Mel was just messing with her.

"Ugh, what do you need so early in the morning, Mel? Let me sleep peacefully..."

Mel shook her head and said,

"It's already 7 a.m., Milady. You have to leave for your 'First Mission' today... You can't be late..."

Only then did Lia remember that today was the day when they had to leave for the 'Dragon Valley'.

"Oh! I kept chatting with Rio till late at night! Now I am late! I gotta hurry!"

Seeing the anxious look on Lia's face, Mel smiled and said,

"Don't worry, Milady, I have already prepared your clothes and other things; you just need to get ready fast, and all should be fine..."

Lia nodded her head and got up from the bed to get ready fast.

The gathering time for the group is 8 a.m., and it's already 7 a.m., which means she will likely be late today.

Thus, she moved fast and got ready in just half an hour.

Lia grabbed her space ring and double-checked all the items she might need.

While walking through a corridor of the mansion, Mel asked Lia in a calm voice,

"Milady, your father asked you to have breakfast before leaving..."

Although Lia wanted to say no to it, she remembered that she might not be able to meet her father for quite some time after today, so it was a good idea to say bye before leaving.

Moreover, James had been on a dungeon raid for the past few months, so Lia hasn't seen him since the day she came back from the Elven Empire.

It's a good chance to see him today.

Thinking about all this, she headed to the dining room and sat on a chair beside the dining table.

James glanced at Lia and said it with a smile.

"You have been working hard to become strong, I see... Hoho~ look at you! You have already reached Rank A! Amazing work!"

Hearing the praise from her father's mouth, Lia felt quite happy; it is quite rare for him to praise her that much in one go.

"Thanks... Actually, the 'Ambient Silver' is a fantastic sword... It's been helping me progress much faster..."

James nodded his head at those words and smiled. The more he looked at Lia, the more proud and happy he felt.

"You know... Just two years ago, you used to always carry that depressed look... and look at you now; you have become strong and much happier than before..."

"You have achieved a lot and have found your own place in the world..."

Lia sighed at those words and said,

"But I didn't even get to the semi-finals of the Supreme Tournament... You are praising me too much..."

James stretched out his hand and patted Lia's head with a proud look on his face.

"No matter what the world says or thinks... No matter where you may go or live, just keep in mind that your father is proud of you, Lia..."

"You are the gem that I admire with all my heart... I am sure your mother is also smiling at your feats from afterlife..."

Lia rolled her eyes and grumbled.

"What are you talking about? How will I take care of such a massive guild on my own? I have

never even done official work or something like that..."

James shook his head and smiled at Lia before saying,

"No, no, you won't be alone... You have the 'Champion', 'The Supreme Sword' with you...

What can obstruct your way when you have the strongest sword creating the path for you?" "Be confident; you have the strongest allies and the strongest people as support... You just need to take up the helm as leader; I will sort out all the inheritance-related issues..."

Only after hearing James words did Lia feel more confident.

"Well... I guess I will try my best... Don't blame me if I mess up..."

Upon hearing Lia's words, James burst into laughter and said,

"You have me and the 'supreme sword' to clean your mess..."

Lia nodded her head at James's words. She finished eating breakfast and got up from the seat

to finally leave for a new journey.

James patted her shoulder and said,

"Keep in mind that there are people who are ready to support you at any moment, so be

confident..."

"Go now and come back soon~"

Lia nodded her head and replied in a happy and confident tone,

"I will bring souvenirs for you~"

With that said, Lia left via the main gate and entered her car to head towards the academy.

James, who came out just to see the car leave, sighed to himself, but at that moment, he felt

proud to be Lia's father.

Mel, who also came out, said,

"Master... Milady has become mature; you can't even see the previous look of depression and

sadness on her anymore..."

James nodded his head and said,

"Well, that's the power of love, I guess... It helped her get rid of the flaws, and now she's

become someone that I can always be proud of..."

"I wish that she could always stay as happy as she is today..."
