Chapter 368.1
As the much-anticipated moment of Dana’s arrival drew near, Eugene found the passage of time dragging along at an excruciatingly slow pace. Upon receiving the news that Dana’s carriage had entered the capital, Eugene repeatedly inquired of the maid, “How far has she come now?”
Finally, the grand procession of carriages made its way into the royal palace. Eugene’s eyes welled with tears as she witnessed Dana alighting from the now stationary carriage. Dana, upon meeting Eugene’s gaze, brightened with a warm smile, only to be overcome with emotion as she noticed her daughter holding back tears.
Dana, eager to close the distance with her daughter, opened her arms wide. Despite her heart racing towards Eugene, her aged body did not move as swiftly as she desired. Eventually, in a tender embrace, Dana smiled upon hearing the endearing address of ‘Mom’ echoing in her ears.
The mother and daughter shared a heartfelt moment, their eyes conveying a wealth of unspoken stories they wished to share. However, for the time being, they chose to postpone the exchange, savoring the joy of their reunion.
While Dana engaged in pleasant exchanges with Kasser, Eugene extended her greetings to the Sword King. “Greetings after a long time, Your Majesty. I trust you have been well? My mother holds you in high regard, and she is greatly indebted to you.”
The Sword King responded graciously, “Not at all. Lady Arse is a wise and insightful person, and our conversations have been truly meaningful. I regret losing such a valuable conversational partner. I heard she is soon to become a grandmother. Congratulations.”
“Thank you. I hope you find comfort during your stay,” Eugene replied.
In the hushed ambiance of the king’s study, Kasser and the sovereign engaged in a private conversation. Meanwhile, Dana took the opportunity to express her admiration for Richard.
“Thanks to His Majesty, I arrived here safely. He is truly a courteous and considerate person,” Dana expressed with gratitude.
