Chapter 257 The One Who Carries the Future (1)
Seeing Miltilia being gently put down and snuggling up to Reed's white fur, rubbing her cheek against his, Bartro finally felt relieved.
"Is this over, sir?"
"Ah, ah, it's over, Kelly. That last part nearly gave me a heart attack..."
When asked by his wife Kelly, he answered with a tired expression.
"That's not like you. If something that important happened, everyone would have been so noisy that you could have heard it in the carriage, wouldn't they?"
“Indeed. I made a big mistake.”
Kelly covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, looking at her husband who was a little shy, which was rare, and thought he was very cute.
"dad!"
Bartello gently caught Miltilia as she rushed over, but he flinched as Reid followed her, for she normally ran around, but now she looked like she was about to attack.
“Are you scared?”
When Zayn asked him, Bartello looked hesitant.
"Maybe you're just not used to it, Your Highness Zen. I'm sorry to have you see me like this."
“Hmm? It’s okay. Adults are usually more horrified by what they see. Especially appearance.”
Faced with the feeling of being spied on, Bartlo could only bow his head and admit defeat.
"Really?"
“Well, that’s okay. Reid’s appearance is cute too.”
“Dululu…”
Although Zayn is childish, he also has a kingly demeanor. Although Klein is a little sweet and frivolous, he is strong enough to be the king. And there is also a future successor.
Phrygia also had to stay on her toes, otherwise she would be easily swallowed up. This was probably why the magic boxer admired this father and daughter.
After returning, he had to inspire the young and advanced nobles and strengthen their cohesion. He also had to expand his alliances. Assessing the future prospects of Holzlein was already a great achievement for him.

Despite some twists and turns, the dinner became pleasant afterwards.
In this harmonious atmosphere, Miltylia was dozing off excitedly in the arms of Reed, who was now asleep. Her actions were surrounded by gentle gazes from the women.
A little further away, Ye Kai sat side by side with Zen and Nazen, looking at the grassland in the distance.
"How's it going with Natzen?"
“Well, Natzen is great. He knows a lot of things, like a brother. I feel like I still have a lot to learn.”
"Really? Then you need to work harder."
He had some insight into Natzen's knowledge and depth of thinking.
"No, it's not that serious. I want to be like Zain."
"Um?"
"I study hard and hope to be like my father. But when I make a judgment, I have to think carefully until I find an answer. But Zein is different, right? Maybe he seems much more relaxed. He can draw conclusions without hesitation. I want that kind of insight."
"Yeah?"
Young Zein did not fully comprehend the fact that he saw things slightly differently from other people.
"There are places like that. But it's not necessarily the best way, Natzen."
“I think that’s the most direct way.”
"Listen, it is indeed the most direct way. But the direct way also means that if you make a mistake, you may go completely astray. But Nazen, you will not do that, right? Because you will really think carefully. You will eliminate every possibility of error and then look for the right path. I think this is very important."
Receiving such high praise from the respected person, Nazen blushed and lowered his head.
“Am I weird?”
"No, it's not surprising at all. You have a talent, as Nazen said, that I think everyone would like to have. It's a great talent. You have a mind full of inspirations. But I don't think those inspirations should be regarded as the only answer."
Zein tilted his head, pointed at his own head, and muttered to himself: "Inspiration?"
“You should cherish those inspirations and then think about them carefully. See if there is anything wrong? You are good at this, Natzen. Because you always do this, you are good at it.”
"Natzen, teach me."
“I’d be glad if I could help you.”
The two exchanged shy smiles. They seemed to have established a close connection.
“I hope you can complement each other’s needs. So I give you my gift.”
"Gift?"
"What is it?"
They each took out two remote speakers. These instruments were different from the ones used by Ye Kai, and also different from the ones made by the magic research institutes of the two countries. They were smooth and could not be seen as magic tools. This design was to prevent the adults around from getting bored. They were equipped with a thin chain and could be hung around the neck.
"This remote control can only connect two devices. I hope you can use this to communicate in the future. For the peace and development of the West."
The two showed and smiled at each other with joy in their eyes.
“Thank you, brother. We’ll have a good chat.”
"Is it okay, Master Ye Kai?"
“Of course, because that’s my wish.”
The word "Speak" was engraved on the speaker's interface, and the crystal ball next to it was embedded with magic stones, which could store magic power. Zein was an "energy storer", so he had enough magic power, and Nazen also had enough magic power to operate ordinary magic tools. As long as the magic power was replenished frequently, there would be no problem.
They will discuss all kinds of things in the future. Maybe this will affect the future of the West. But now, Ye Kai hopes that they can understand each other deeply, absorb each other, and make progress together. This is also one of the main purposes of his convening this meeting.
“But as long as my brother is here, there will be no problem in the West.”
"Yes, as long as Lord Ye Kai is still here, there will be no rash actions. Father also said just now that he will not let foolish ambitions succeed."
Their expectations were high. But Ye Kai had different ideas.
"I think my presence is a double-edged sword, both militarily and politically. It's useful, but it can also cause resentment. Because I don't belong to anyone, I can't be restrained."
These reasons may come from himself.
"Perhaps it would be easier to judge if I could be used as a tactical weapon. After all, it would only be a matter of whether to use it or not."
“That’s impossible. Because Lord Ye Kai only wants to be the embodiment of justice.”
Zein had his own unique way of expressing this. Whenever he thought about the uncertain concept of justice, Ye Kai seemed to him to be the embodiment of that concept.
