Chapter 321: Isabella’s Change and the Approval From Her Old Father
After Froer’s emotions had calmed down completely, Heidegger went with her to the southern new district.
Isabella’s location was easier to find than Tina’s.
Because Gandhi Alter had mentioned that Isabella was most likely in the cafeteria, the two of them followed the delicious smell of food and found one of the grandest buildings in the entire southern new district.
Besides the farmer’s market, the cafeteria was almost the largest building in the southern new district.
It was mealtime, and many workers who had just finished their shifts were heading here with meal tickets.
Heidegger and Froer also stepped into the cafeteria.
"I wanted to say earlier, the uses of the magic devices and magical materials in this demon race town… are really hard to understand."
Heidegger touched the magical materials that made up the cafeteria walls and felt the magical waves beneath his feet, unable to help but complain.
Froer also shrugs her shoulders.
"Perhaps this is why everyone here lives happily…"
Although the Demon King and Doyle had become used to Lolth’s uniqueness and surprises, the Lady of Light and Janine Irene, who grew up in the Holy Capital filled with many magic devices and materials, were not as deeply impressed by the "wonder" of Hillenbrand Town.
However, for Heidegger and Froer, two powerful and knowledgeable leaders in their own realms, the current state of Hillenbrand Town is undoubtedly very thought-provoking.
Even though they realized how outrageous the "power" here was, both of them remained relatively calm after having seen so much, just unable to help but lament how wasteful it is to use materials for repairing walls to lay floors instead.
After entering the cafeteria, the two turned around and quickly found Isabella’s direction.
Like Tina, she was still wearing the same uniform as before, which surprised both Heidegger and Froer a little.
Although the JK uniform is indeed strange and ahead of its time, its light style somewhat resembles the outfits of elves, so Froer wasn’t too surprised earlier.
But now seeing Isabella wearing the same outfit, both Heidegger and Froer couldn’t help but think more about it.
"The relationship between the two people might not be so bad after all…"
Froer thought this, while Heidegger found a spot to sit down and quietly observed Isabella.
At this moment, Isabella was sitting in the middle of a group of police station Superoperators.
Most of them were dwarfs and nobles from Seychelles, with a few well-behaved mercenaries mixed in.
In front of them were plates filled with delicious food.
Barbecue, fried rice, pizza, hot bread, stewed fish…
Whether familiar to Heidegger and Froer or unrecognizable, dishes from two worlds gathered on the cafeteria table, placed before Isabella.
The knight seemed to show a hint of nervousness on her face, continuously eating.
Plates of fried rice and pieces of barbecue were quickly and neatly stuffed into her mouth. The Grand Knight’s physical condition and recent "training" meant that even with a mountain of empty plates in front of her, she still looked perfectly fine.
The police officers beside her also seemed to be comforting her.
"Lord Isabella, it will be fine!"
"You will surely win the beauty contest!"
"This outfit suits you better!"
"We believe in you; you are Ryman’s pride and the Grand Knight of the North!"
Everyone cheered up Isabella.
With everyone’s comfort and the food’s warmth, Isabella looked much better.
She wiped the grease from her mouth with a tissue, tried to hold in her slightly puffed belly, and nodded.
"That’s right… I can do it for sure!"
Isabella said to herself firmly, then stood up and walked towards the cafeteria exit!
After eating well and feeling better, she decided to go to the dressing competition venue!
Seeing this scene, Froer and Heidegger also stood up and followed.
"The young lady really has… a good appetite."
Froer looked at Isabella’s back and said this while glancing at Heidegger.
To her surprise, there was a gentle smile on Heidegger’s elegant and friendly face at that moment.
"That’s wonderful… Isabella."
Froer looked at Heidegger, stunned.
Then she couldn’t help but ask, "Though it might be a bit rude, your expression seems quite surprised, Duke Heidegger… I want to ask, isn’t your daughter called…?"
"’Ryman Ice,’ is it? I’ve heard that nickname before," Heidegger nodded and said, "Now, she looks a little different from the rumors… and indeed, she has changed a lot compared to before."
"Brave, reliable, decisive, calm… This has always been how others see Isabella," Heidegger said softly, "This is also the result of what I, as her father, created…"
"During her childhood, even though I was already the ‘Duke of the North,’ it was my first time being a father, so I made many… wrong decisions…"
"Her mother left us when she was little. During that time, I could only use ‘family’ and ‘honor’ as a way to numb myself, losing myself in the ‘great cause’ of the Ryman Empire’s rise, expanding lands with that ambitious king whom I supported…"
"So, my guidance to Isabella went off course."
"She grew up to be an excellent knight, a mature officer, the capable eldest daughter of the Schwarzwald family, the new leader of the Northman Knight Order, my good helper, and the sharp blade of the Ryman Empire."
"But when I reached my current ‘state’ and settled into retirement, I found that my lovely, lively Isabella had lost her smile… No, not just her smile; emotions like joy, anger, sadness, and happiness were hard to find on her face."
"I placed a burden on her that did not belong to her because of my carelessness…"
"Honestly, I regret it very much, but I don’t know how to make up for my ‘failure’ as a father."
"So, seeing how she is now, I truly… feel a bit thankful to that succubus."
Duke Heidegger smiled as he said, "Indeed, as you mentioned, Ms. Froer… this is quite a ‘surprising’ thing."
"Compared to the cold northern lands of Ryman, perhaps this little town is the best home for Isabella!"
Froer nodded slightly.
"I think so too… If Tina stays here, it would be a good choice."
