Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 - Father and daughter

The Ill.u.s.trious King of the Frozen Kingdom was looking at an outstretched field of green in front of him. Many things seemed to be happening that he did not understand these past few days, with them bordering on the corner of miracles.

He was filled with regrets of not moving fast enough to quell the fears of his people after the battle finished, having used most of his time occupying himself with his son and mulling over the decision of just what to do with him.

These days, he found himself questioning if he still even had the qualifications to rule. AS these thoughts passed through his mind, the guards that were around him shifted as they felt movements, and they say the figure of the Ice Princess making her way over.

They quickly moved aside and put a distance between them and the two royalty, spreading across the field to watch at all vantage points. They were currently of King’s Crown, which also had a few acres of fields set aside that were now glowing a vibrant green.

A father and a daughter stood amidst the peacefully waving produce in front of them as the daughter spoke first.

"How are you feeling?"

It was a fairly simple question that many people hear every day, but always carried a different connotation depending on who was asking it. The question from Adelaide seemed like a very simple one where it could be referring to the health or emotions that the aged king was feeling, but at the same time it seemed to be asking about even more important things.

"I feel...tired my daughter."

The king said this with as a sigh as he looked away at the miraculous sight of produce that rose overnight these past few days and looked at his daughter. He felt tired. Tired from the constant struggle of trying to stand out exceptionally in a world where they were a minor species that held less power.

Tired because they were in a time of war, and he was always advocating for peace. He felt a piece of himself breaking every time a soldier died that day. He felt tired when he came back home and saw the result of mourning and loss that he expected, but he could do nothing about it.

Yet, he still had to hold strong. Because if it wasn’t him, who had the power to take the lead when the stronger enemies came once again?

When he got to this point he looked at his little girl who seemed to be growing up too fast. The shock her actions had caused did not just stump nobles and the common people these past few days, but they had shocked him even more. How had his daughter been able to do it?

"I know you’re tired, Father. You’ve been working tirelessly for tens of years to bring all of us where we are now, and it was almost all undone in the span of a few days."

Adelaide walked across the field and stroked the [White Radishes] that were growing vibrantly and yet to be harvested.

"I know you’re tired, Father, so I came to ask you to rest."

Roark looked lovingly at his daughter as a laugh escaped from his lips.

"Haha, are you that eager? You know that plans and calculations aren’t the only things needed to get us back on track. Power is also one of them. If a single LEGENDARY or MYTHICAL being came, no plans would work in the face of that power."

A period of silence passed as the two family members thought before Adelaide released some shocking words.

"How do you think we were able to pass the trial of the LEGENDARY Demon King just last week?"
