Chapter 659 Your Romeo!
"Once I've answered your questions you will be surprised…I can promise you that!" Dilan said, facepalming himself.
"...I really don't understand anything anymore…do you get easily envious, Goldy?"
It was the second time that Dilan asked Goldy if she was an envious person, but it was the first time that the Princess of Haven actually felt as if Dilan was asking her if she was envious. The first time didn't seem to be about her, or so it felt.
However, Dilan was talking about her right now, which caused her right eyebrow to crease lightly. There was barely a change in her expression but it was noticeable enough for Silver Chicken and Rooster to look at Goldy for a few seconds.
Rooster couldn't calm down anymore seeing Goldy's expression and he pointed at Dilan with his unsheathed sword.
"What is your problem with this envious?! The Princess of Haven is the last person in this universe to be envious of anyone!!"
Dilan nodded his head but he merely smiled lightly.
"Is that so? I don't really think that you know your Highness well enough to say that."
"But you know her better or what??"
"...maybe?"
Dilan smiled at Rooster who was playing around with the longsword, knowing that a few small wounds wouldn't matter to him.
He pushed the sword aside and turned his attention to Goldy, whose attention was on him.
'You know that I'm speaking the truth…my version of the truth, at least!'
"Is honesty everything you want in exchange for permission to move the flying island inside your territory?"
"As long as you answer all of my questions honestly, I will give you permission to move the flying island into my territory, wherever you want," Goldy said, nodding her head once again.
It was not hard to tell that the Princess of Haven had a hidden meaning with her offer.
If she couldn't get her hands on the Divine Relict, she could at least get her hands on a few more fighters, including a mortal human with the strength to fight a Lesser God.
Dilan was a good investment in her eyes and he wore the Divine Relict. Thus, by getting him, Goldy was getting everything she wanted…just a little bit different than initially expected.
He would fight for the Angel's Haven Alliance if the flying island and his people were likely to get injured by attacks of other alliances.
"In that case, we can sign a Soul Contract. I will answer your questions honestly and you will give the flying island official permission to enter the Angel's Haven Alliance's territory. Furthermore, you and your allies won't touch the flying island without my permission. It will be considered as the territory of the Undying Group, nobody else! If some of your people come and make trouble, I will cut them down without hesitation…"
Dilan's sky blue eyes looked kind at first, but they turned eerily cold at the end. A chilling draft circulated around them and Rooster began to squint his eyes, wondering what the hell the identity of the young man was. He couldn't be an ordinary human being.
His mind rattled and various thoughts flashed through his mind while Dilan and the Princess of Haven were setting up the Soul Contract.
None of them wanted to waste more time postponing the Soul Contract, and they signed it once they made sure that all rules were crystal clear.
They only had to sign the contract when a voice from their right reached them. It was Rooster, who had come to a conclusion.
"Now I get why you say that all of this is fate…" He mumbled in Dilan's direction before his head turned to Goldy.
"Princess…you really are a fool…"
Dilan burst out in laughter when he heard what Rooster blurted out loud. Silver Chicken froze in her place for a few seconds until she regained her senses.
Was he tired of living?!?
However, Rooster looked actually baffled…in fact, his current expression was full of disbelief while Dilan could only smile.
"What do you mean?" Goldy didn't shout at him and neither did she throw a fit. Nobody dared to insult her, even less someone as loyal as her Holy Guard, Tenur.
Tenur, the Archangel Dilan called Rooster, looked at Dilan aghast but his eyes moved between the two of them until he finally stopped looking deep into the eyes of Dilan once again.
"You are this Primordial Ascension generation's Divine Occupation…" He mumbled but Dilan didn't answer. There was no reason for him to answer because it was obvious that Rooster, the Holy Guard Tenur, had found the solution.
'He is brighter than he acts.'
"Princess…he is your Romeo…the one who disappeared 27 years ago before the Fourth Awakening!! He is the human you were searching for!!!"
Dilan's brows furrowed when he heard what Tenur shouted out loud. He was pretty sure that he was not Romeo because he was already an adult and more than alive…and he died a few more times than Romeo.
But something else bothered Dilan much more than the fact that Tenur compared him to Romeo.
'How the hell does he not know the Musketeers but Romeo from Romeo and Juliet?'
Of course, that was the last concern Tenur had in mind right now, but Goldy was of a different opinion.
"Tenur, I have no idea who Romeo is. I don't know anyone with such a name…" She said firmly before she realized something.
At that moment, Dilan signed the Soul Contract with a faint smile on his face.
'He is the human you were searching for!!!' Tenur's second sentence reverberated in her head and the firm and calm expression on her face began to crumble.
She looked at the name Dilan wrote down on the Soul Contract, and shockingly enough it was Dilan Cier…the exact same name as the human with whom she messaged more than two decades ago, the man who disappeared all of a sudden.
"It told you that the truth will surprise you! It's nice finally seeing you face to face, Ariel Silvertale!"
