Chapter 407: Where is That Person?

“The hearts of the people who grew up in this era are more or less distorted. As for Ulysses, who was at the center of the vortex, because of his outstanding talent, he suffered the jealousy and hatred of all his brothers from the day he was born. They wanted to kill him every chance they got. There were a few times when Ulysses almost died. It was only until his father sent strange to be his first instructor and received his protection that he was able to live this long.”

Hearing this, Allie finally could not help but interject. “In that case, the only person Ulysses can rely on and trust in his life is probably...”

Lei Luo smiled faintly and said, “If that’s the case, then I won’t be coming this time...”

Allie raised her eyebrows and looked at Lei Luo.

“I mean, how can Ulysses, who grew up in such an environment, be normal?”

“Then again, how can a person who grew up in such an environment, a person who doesn’t even dare to trust and rely on his own biological father, completely trust a person?”

“No, absolutely not, never.”

“His only eternal ally is himself. Even if the empire is reversed and time and space reverse, it is also Ulysses’ belief that he will never change, and this is his greatest weakness.”

Lei Luo raised his hand slightly and clenched it into a fist. “As long as there is a weakness, it can be used by me.”

Half a month later, Lei Luo and Allie’s carriage arrived at Ulysses City.

On this day, Ulysses was in his study studying the daily routine of war cases with Strachey when his adjutant suddenly walked in from outside. “Your Highness, Princess Allie has arrived.”

Ulysses raised his eyebrows and asked, “Where is she now?”

“She’s in the living room,” the adjutant answered.

“Is she alone?”

“Yes, Your Highness. She’s alone.”

Ulysses turned around and glanced at Strachey. “Alone?”

Then he waved at the adjutant and said, “Go. Tell her that I’m in class and will see her soon.”

After the adjutant answered yes and left, Ulysses looked at Strachey and asked, “Teacher...?”

“She’s in the living room. We just need to ask her and we’ll know everything.”

Although Ulysses was young, he had a dignified personality.

Usually, his subordinates would be in awe of him when they saw him. The only one who could speak in such a tone beside him was Strachey.

Ulysses nodded. “Teacher, you should go too.”

Strachey heard Ulysses and stood up. He bowed and said, “Yes.”

Ten minutes later, Ulysses came to the living room with Strachey.

When she saw Ulysses enter the room, Allie immediately stood up and bowed to Ulysses and Strachey.

When James was in trouble, as the messenger of the East God, Allie had seen Ulysses once.

However, she did not receive Ulysses’ help. Instead, she received Ulysses’ request to take her as a side chamber.

When he saw Allie again this time, he found that Allie had totally changed.

Before, Allie appeared fierce on the surface, but her heart was filled with fear, her actions were impulsive, and she did not know how to use words. She always had a strong sense of unease.

But now, Allie’s words and actions were very appropriate.

Although it was clear that she still feared him, her feelings were completely within her control.

And the biggest change for her was the sense of steadiness that came from the depths of her heart.

‘As expected, there’s someone capable to help. Only when I feel confident will I be so calm.’

With this thought in mind, Ulysses nodded slightly. He walked to the main seat and sat down. Then, he waved at Princess Allie.

“Princess, you can sit too.”

After Allie sat down, Strachey also sat down.

“I’ve always had a good relationship with Lord James. I’ve been feeling very apologetic for not being able to help you with the matter concerning the East God. I’ve also always wanted to find the princess so that I can help you revive the East God. However, the empire is too big, and there has been no news about you, princess. Not long ago, I heard the news that the Grizzly Pirates kidnapped the princess. I was going to rescue you, but because of the constraints of my family, I still—”

“I understand all of Your Highness’ intentions. However, I’m not here to reminisce about the past, so it’s fine if I don’t talk about the past.”

Allie spoke in a low voice, neither servile nor overbearing, according to what Lei Luo had taught her.

Hearing Allie’s words, Ulysses was stuffed with all the information he wanted.

Unconsciously, Allie had the initiative to control the conversation between the two of them.

“Oh...” Ulysses pondered for a moment.

“I wonder why the princess came all the way here to look for me. What do you need my help for?”

“Indeed, I need your help. I think Your Highness understands exactly what I need your help for.”

Hearing this, Ulysses could not help but smile faintly.

He thought to himself, ‘Good fellow, you are not here to ask for my help. You are clearly here to collect your debt.’

Ulysses held his hands together and rubbed them for a few rounds. “Allie, these words are not your own words, right? I don’t think you are in charge of Holy City of Beauty now, right?”

Hearing Ulysses’ change of address, Allie knew that they could finally talk about practical matters.

“His Highness is only half right. These words are indeed not mine, but I’m still in charge of that city.”

“You’re still in charge of Holy City of Beauty?”

Ulysses smiled.

“Allie, I didn’t think you would learn how to brag.”

Allie answered, “There are only three troops in the Holy City of Beauty now. One is our old troops of ‘East God,’ with a strength ratio of more than 50%. The other is the remaining troops of the Grizzly Pirates, with a strength ratio of about 40%. The last one is the new army that we recently recruited, with a strength ratio of only 10%. They are about to be transferred to the public security team, leaving the field combat system. So, all in all, there are only two real armies in the city. One is completely subordinate to me, and the other is purely fighting for interests. Your Highness, how can I not make the decision?”

Allie’s description made Ulysses feel a little surprised.

He slowly separated his hands, raised his right hand, and gently stroked his upper lip, staring at Allie.

Allie kept staring at the ground.

“Where is that person?” In the end, Ulysses decided to stop this boring language game and went straight to the point.

Allie did not answer Ulysses. Instead, she looked up at Strachey.

“Strachey is my teacher. There is nothing to hide from him,” Ulysses quipped.
