Chapter 40 That person was revered as the Lord of Thunder
It was only right for Dalton to swear allegiance to Distin, since it was indeed Distin's soothing potion that healed Dalton's daughter Lyra's damaged soul.
Without the Dragon Testin's soothing potion, Dalton's chances of healing Lyra's damaged soul were virtually nonexistent.
"Lord Distin..." Dalton repeated, as if trying to imprint the name 'Distin' into his soul. If Princess Sophia held him in such high regard, then this 'Lord Distin' was definitely not a fabrication.
He wondered if he would ever be able to meet Lord Distin in his lifetime, as he wanted to thank him in person.
A soul-soothing elixir capable of healing the soul... even the clergy in the capital couldn't produce such a potion.
"Your Highness, I swear allegiance to Lord Diding."
"Can."
With Sophia as his witness, Dalton recited the oath, pledging allegiance to Tess and vowing never to betray him, promising that if he broke the oath, he would be condemned to eternal damnation.
Anna glanced at Sophia. "Your Highness, the dragon's name in your dream world... is it Distin...?"
His Highness mentioned this name in front of her and Emily, was he preparing to gradually reveal the existence of the dragon in his dreams to those close to him?
So far, she is the only one who knows about the existence of the dragon in her dream.
Although Dalton knew of the existence of "Distin", it seems that Princess Sophia did not tell him that "Lord Distin" was a dragon.
Anna glanced at Dalton, the first man to swear allegiance to the dragon of dreams.
Does a dragon that only exists in Princess Sophia's dream world need a follower like Dalton?
Or perhaps... the dragon in Princess Sophia's dream world... will one day leave the dream world and come to the real world?
Standing beside the sofa, head maid Emily's eyes held confusion and doubt.
When Sophia took out the Soul-Soothing Liquid, she had some doubts. She wouldn't say she knew everything about her princess's abilities, but she had a pretty good idea.
Based on her understanding of her prince, she knew that her prince could never concoct a "soul-soothing potion" capable of healing the soul.
His Highness has barely read any books on potion-making, so how could he possibly concoct a potion like "Soul-Soothing Elixir"?
And then there's the "Lord Didin" that His Highness mentioned. His Highness is a princess of the Kingdom of Roland. What kind of being would dare to make a princess of a kingdom call him "Lord"?
The key point is that she hasn't seen Princess Sophia meet with any important figures in the past few days.
There aren't many important figures in the Northern Territory, and even those few aren't worthy of being addressed as "My Lord" by Princess Sophia.
If the legendary "Twin Moon Mage" were to be resurrected, she would certainly be worthy of being addressed as "My Lady" by Princess Sophia.
Who is this "Lord Destin"?
Head Maid Emily thought it over; there was no important figure named Distin in the capital, nor in the North...
I'll ask Anna later to see if she knows who this "Lord Destin" is.
"Your Highness Sophia, may I see Lord Distin?"
"It's best not to even have that thought."
Dalton chuckled, admitting his intrusion; a nobody like him certainly wasn't qualified to meet "Lord Destin" for the time being.
Even a princess like Princess Sophia addresses him as "Lord," so it must be as he had guessed before: those qualified to see Lord Distin are all powerful individuals.
"Don't overthink it. Lord Distin isn't the kind of person who would take advantage of someone's kindness. He's never even considered having you swear allegiance to him, so you don't need to feel guilty."
By the way, never reveal the existence of "Lord Didin" to anyone else; not everyone is qualified to utter his name.
Sophia instructed Dalton that she should shroud the dragon Distin in mystery.
"If my neighbors ask me who cured Leila's illness, what should I say? Should I say that Your Highness cured Leila's illness?"
No wonder he had never heard of "Lord Destin" despite traveling all over the country; it turns out that not everyone is qualified to know this lord's name.
Too mysterious and too low-key.
Even more mysterious than the legendary Twin Moon Master.
Sophia's words made Dalton feel that it was an honor to know Lord Tessin's name.
"I certainly can't say that I cured Lyra's illness; I don't have that ability. Lord of Thunder, if any neighbors ask you who cured Lyra's illness, just say it's the Lord of Thunder."
"The Lord of Thunder has cured Lyra's illness, and I have another piece of news for you: Lord Distin has been revered as the Lord of Thunder."
"Thunder...the Lord of Thunder?!"
Dalton was deeply shaken; the title alone was enough to prove the power of "Lord Destin".
"You can reveal Lord Distin's title, but you cannot reveal Lord Distin's name at will."
"Your Highness Sophia, I would never reveal your name to anyone."
Sofia rubbed her stomach with her hand and nodded with a smile.
"Your Highness Sophia, could you tell me just how strong the powerful followers of Lord Distin are?"
I want to assess whether I'll become strong enough in my lifetime to meet Lord Distin.
Just how powerful are Lord Distin's followers?
Sophia was stunned. Was the lich Bryan a follower of the dragon Distin?
He should be considered as having wanted to become a retainer of Destin, but Destin refused.
And then there's Sienna, the Crimson Queen. She should be considered a follower of the dragon Destin, right?
"Immortal".
"Immortal?!"
Dalton was puzzled at first, then his face showed shock. Did Princess Sophia mean that... the strong people who followed Lord Thunder, Destin, were so strong that they were almost immortal?
After the initial shock, he gave a bitter smile: "Then I probably won't see Lord Distin in this lifetime, and I wonder if I'll have the chance to repay Lord Distin after I die."
After death?
He will certainly have the opportunity to repay Destin after he dies.
Thinking of this, Sophia walked up to Dalton, stood on tiptoe, and patted Dalton's shoulder with a smile. "There's always a chance. As the saying goes, if you keep something in mind, it will eventually come back to you."
If you always keep a grateful heart, you might meet Lord Destin someday.
I'm hungry, I'll go get some breakfast first. Mr. Dalton, please find a seat. By the way, have you had breakfast yet? If not, come to the dining room and have some with us.
"I've eaten, Your Highness, please go and enjoy your breakfast. Don't worry about me."
Sophia nodded, and before going to the restaurant, she took out a thumb-sized tree root block from her spatial dragon scales and handed it to Dalton. "This is a snack that Lord Distin gave me. Try it and see how it tastes."
"No, no, Lord Distin's snacks were for Your Highness, I..."
"Try it."
"Okay... alright."
Dalton took the tree root and put it in his mouth. After chewing it a few times, as the rich life energy flowed into his stomach along with the juice of the tree root, disbelief appeared in his eyes.
As a martial artist, he noticed his body rapidly regaining its 'vitality'!
