Meeting with Helena- 2

******

"Welcome princess, It's an honor to have you here " count fredrin bowed to her, apparently she is the only daughter of the duke so, she is called princess rather than lady as she is the sole heir of the dukedom.

Then he looked at me with serious eyes, I hurriedly bowed and move my hand forward to help her get down from the carriage.

Well, she could get down on her own but her potential future husband must help her. It's a tradition or costume you could say.

I held her hands, and even though she was wearing white gloves I could still feel overwhelming cold when I touched her, it's feels like my hand and blood are slowly freezing.

[ Ding, 1 point of Endurance increased due to Talent 'Adaptability' ]

[ Ding, the host has gained the passive skill 'cold resistance' [E] due to your talent adaptability ]

I heard a mechanical voice in my head apparently, I have gained 1 stat point and Cold resistance skill.

Even with newly acquired cold resistance skill I still feel like I am slowly losing my sense in my hand which was holding Helena's hand.

[ 1 point of endurance increased ]

[ 1 point if endurance increased ]

.....

Finally, she got out of the carriage, she did help me get 3 points of stats and a passive skill but it was still a bad encounter.

If it lasted a little longer my arm might be completely useless...

*****

I looked at her face, and she was also looking at me, our eyes meet and she just smiled gently.

Well, it was quite awkward for me and I don't know how to handle the current situation at all so, I just smiled back.

She bowed a little forward putting one arm in her chest and introduced herself, "Hello I am Helena X Qev the VII, heir of Dukedom of North. Nice to meet you "

"Pleasure is all mine lady Helena, I am Lòng D Von III " I also introduced myself in a fancy way just like her.

"You are sweet with words..." she said while smiling.

The way she looks at me tells me I am in deep trouble...

After a few chitchats, they entered the mansion.

Well, their mansion is something to show afterall it's where the richest man resides, and the furniture, design, and decorations were made of pure richness.

For count, the biggest flex is not the title or achievement, it's the money.

"Please princess, Sit down. It's a luxurious chair made by dwarves further the territory of the forbidden forest especially made from the Ancient tree of Nerox "

He is at it again, bragging about the rich stuff he has, afterall it was made by dwarves meaning it has many hidden magical features and it is made from the Ancient tree of Nerox.

Well, Nerox is a tree that grows absorbing the mana from the environment and is found very rarely, To find it you have to enter the forbidden forest which is home to elves who are not welcoming humans unless necessary.

However, The places where Nerox grows are inhabited by Dragons most of the time which further increases its rareness.

Is he really bragging or showing it to his future daughter-in-law Is something only God knows.

As the daughter of the duke, she also has a few tricks on herself.

She took out A golden fruit from her space ring, space rings are magical rings that can store items just like inventory.

"Well, I heard, Lòng has been suffering from the Curse of the Demon God so, I bought the 'Holy fruit of life as a gift"

As soon as she said it, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The Lòng suffering from the curse of the demon God was only known to family members and the Holy priest who found out lòng had received a curse from the demon God.

Except for them, not even servants in the mansion knows lòng is suffering from Demon God curse.

As a caring father, he tried searching for the Holy fruit of life but was unable to obtain it as apparently it was with Frost dragon "Vera".

He tried to offer many gold and other stuff but Dragon rejected all the offers and told if they asked about fruit again and again it will invade their territory.

Fearing the dragon's wrath, he didn't continue this matter further.

However, he didn't care how she knew about it but he was happy, his son can be free from the curse of the demon God.

Is it fate? He began to wander.

Because just a few days ago, lòng came back buying four slaves and one of them was a shrine maiden. He was quite shocked when he learned shrine maiden was just a slave.

Then seeing her in person, he knew she might have just awakened as a shrine maiden. He was more shocked when he heard his first wife say, she has the skill of prophecy, well her first wife has appraiser skill too.

Since it was a matter related to the gods, he didn't ask anything about the slaves he bought.

And now, the holy fruit he couldn't receive came at his door.

It seems goddesses of light haven't abandon their son at all.
