"You are right. The [Epic of Time] stored in our church has now shown information about the corresponding ability [Uncrowned King]. I immediately thought of you when I heard about it. I think the soul of the tree should be in you..."
"No, not with me."
Jenkins shook his head and said, and then told what happened with Carmel, the thrift shop owner. He told the church about it, and the church didn't want to spread such a secret.
"Besides, I am the owner of the World Tree seedling. I don't think it is possible for a natural savior to have two qualifications."
He explained, and then saw Miss Audrey looking at him in surprise:
"You know? About the World Tree seedlings?"
Sure enough, Miss Audrey also knew about these things.
"Yes, because of the family affairs, I found out about the past of the Middleton family. Then a friend of mine, a university professor, told me about the elf sacrifice. I continued to investigate and learned the truth from my father."
Miss Audrey pursed her lips when she heard this, as if she was thinking about something:
"Well, since you know everything, there is no need to hide it. But you are right. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a person who can become the natural owner of two savior abilities at the same time. Even if the king soul has four It is impossible for you to live on you who have been chosen by World Tree."
"It is said that the emblem of the savior cannot be actively pursued, so I'd better not take the initiative to investigate those possible owners?"
Jenkins asked again.
"You don't have to be so strict, just let it be. The status of the savior is bestowed by fate. If you deserve it, then even if you don't do anything, the owner of the king soul will voluntarily pledge his allegiance to you."
This is consistent with Jenkins' guess. He accepted this statement, and knew from past experience that Miss Audrey was right.
The next day was Saturday, and the city was still reeling from the surprise and excitement of the royal visit. Except for those tabloids, almost every newspaper has a picture of Queen Isabella or Salhi II as the front page picture, and the newspaper has not forgotten the king who is still sailing at sea. The news of King Tarquin the Proud is also spreading.
The eyes of the whole world are focused on Nolan City in this short week. Because of the upcoming Three Kings Talks, nobles, businessmen, opera troupes or bands from all over the world have gathered in Nolan City.
This port city on the west coast has not been so lively for a long time. The citizens are also very happy that their hometown can have this honor, and they check the newspapers every day and discuss news from all over the world with their colleagues or neighbors.
Jenkins was not idle either. The Church of the Twelve Orthodox Gods gathered here, planning to form a unified alliance with the church itself before meeting with the believers of the God of Lies. As the only holy son in the city, although Jenkins does not need to do the complicated work of arranging the venue or moving tables, he must be present and even participate in some things.
As for the royal family, Queen Isabella held frequent banquets for waves of nobles who came here from all over the world. This is a bit like when the ancient Shikali Empire was prosperous, the subordinate principalities sent envoys to visit. Queen Isabella is obviously very useful, even though she is old, she still enjoys it.
On the contrary, Salhi II has been keeping a low profile since he came to Nolan, except for the occasions where he must attend, he only occasionally appeared in the "talks" mentioned in the newspaper. This made the children of the Stuart family very happy, because their father did not ground them, so these foreign princes and queens frequently appeared in various social occasions of Nolan, and they suddenly Instead, things turned out to be the most interesting news.
On Sunday afternoon, Jenkins, who was a little tired from the frequent meetings of the church, stood behind the counter, leaning his upper body forward and lying there. Next to his hand is the cat lying peacefully on his own cushion, while the old man is sitting on the rocking chair in front of the fireplace and reading the newspaper. There is too much news in this city recently, and many important newspapers have chosen to publish special issues. Dad can find many different newspapers to read.
Business was good today. Although Jenkins was only in the store in the afternoon, he also received at least three customers, two of whom made purchases. The old man thought it was because nobles from all over the world came to Nolan, and the local nobles couldn't lose face when entertaining guests, so the business of the antique shop became very good.
It was already dusk outside, and it was already summer in Nolan in June. The yellow sunset dyed the outside as gorgeous as an oil painting, but at the same time, the excessive heat made people feel a little bored.
The original owner remembered that Nolan's summer was very hot. Although it was not as far south as the mainland, Jenkins didn't think he would like this season in the era without air conditioners and fans.
Drowsily thinking about where to go for dinner, suddenly I heard the door of the store being pushed open, and the bell rang crisply, but the opening of the door brought hot air in, making the cat meow in displeasure.
Jenkins looked up at the customers who entered the store, because the antique store opened to the west, so the customers had their backs to the bright western dusk, and the light behind them was so dazzling that the customers were only black silhouettes.
Walking in with the setting sun was a princess, a princess looking at Jenkins with a smile. Dolores, who was wearing a pink wide-brimmed hat, gently opened the door, and walked in gracefully stepping on small black leather shoes. In this quiet evening, like a girl who walked out of a story, she accidentally broke into Papa's antique shop belonging to the mortal world.
The two looked at each other, and Jenkins saw joy and anticipation in Dolores' eyes. She has been looking forward to this scene for a long time. As Jenkins once said, she has been looking forward to the day when she can step into the antique shop where Jenkins works under the background of the sunset when Jenkins did not expect it.
Although she and Jenkins have known each other for a long time, when the princess from the Northland steps into Nolan's store, there is always a sense of time conflict. It was a very subtle feeling, and Dolores thought it was romance, her own little romance.
Very rarely, Jenkins read the expectation in her eyes. Although he was stunned for a moment, he quickly adjusted his expression and asked with a smile:
"Welcome to Papa's Antique Store, what do you need?"
The old man took away the newspaper in his hand and looked at the visiting guests. He recognized who it was and also saw the tricks among the young people, so he sighed and picked up the newspaper to cover his face again.
The princess strolling in from the setting sun chuckled at Jenkins, she walked in completely, and Jenkins saw Julia and Alexia waiting behind her:
"Sir, I need a guide."
She looked curiously at the interior decoration of the antique shop, but her eyes quickly shifted to Jenkins.
"My pleasure, ma'am."
Jenkins came out from behind the counter quickly, Dolores raised her left hand reservedly to cover her mouth and chuckled, raised her right hand with a white lace glove, with the back of her hand up, and put it in the hand that Jenkins offered.
Chocolat watched the scene with his head stuck on the edge of the cushion, bored by the human drama.
Dolores and her party came to Nolan, and Jenkins must show them around the city and the scenery as a landlord. I have been busy with various things for two days since I came back, and I finally have some free time tonight. Dolores went out with only Alexia and Julia, dressed lightly, and made adequate preparations for the night.
Seeing Jenkins' friend coming, Dad waved him away and told him to leave work early. Both Dolores and Alexia knew how much Papa was in Jenkins' heart, so they both greeted him and asked about his health.
The old man maintained a kind attitude, smiling while patting Jenkins on the shoulder, but when he saw Alexia, he felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember seeing such a lady in recent years.
After leaving the antique shop, the group of four went to eat first, and Jenkins had already reserved a seat. Then there was going to the theatre, and while it would be impolite for every lady to arrange such an itinerary, it was hard to find other forms of entertainment in this day and age.
He once considered changing the play to going to a concert, but concerts are not necessarily every day, and chocolate doesn't like concerts, it's too loud, and Jenkins guesses that cats may be sensitive to certain frequencies of sound.
Today is still the performance of the Silver Jasmine Opera Troupe, which is of course. In order to invite his girlfriend to watch the best performance, Jenkins specifically asked the Opera Troupe to explain that he hopes they can add another performance.
Not to mention that Jenkins himself is a shareholder of the opera troupe, but his current status as a descendant of the royal family is enough for Mr. Nellie, the owner of the opera troupe who happens to be in Nolan, to make a decision. But Mr. Nelly probably guessed wrong who Jenkins was going to invite, and the play he arranged to perform turned out to be "Steam Train Murder" co-created by Jenkins and Hathaway.
Alexia and Dolores knew about the play, of course, but the embarrassment didn't last long, since they were both generous and nice girls.
Only Jenkins is a scumbag, and he knows it all too well.
Dolores was very satisfied with her "date" that night, and she would have been even more satisfied if her teacher, maid, and Jenkins' cat hadn't followed.
Everyone will be very busy these days, so there won't be a lot of leisure time like this. Jenkins is busy with the affairs of the church and the royal family, while Dolores has already hooked up with Miss Windsor. Now they are jointly digging the treasure near Beldyland, and at the same time discussing the domestic affairs of the Kingdom of Fidgetly.
Although it is Queen Isabella who ultimately decides the succession to the throne, she must also consider domestic public opinion and the opinions of the nobles. In this regard, both Dolores and Miss Windsor can make a big fuss, especially Jenkins has already obtained the equivalent of With the support of the Navy, this is a very good start.
