"Send her back?" Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Huailin heard about the quest the next day. He didn't expect the quest to continue. Li Huailin didn't want to continue with it, but it would be troublesome if Su Ruoyan agreed to it. After all, she was his future wife, and he couldn't reject her.
In Li Huailin's eyes, Zooey was dispensable. Basically, it didn't matter to him whether she was there or not. The problem was that she couldn't go back on her own. With her tiny body, she couldn't even walk out of Li Huailin's Lancaster Duchy, let alone return to the Orc's territory. The closer they were to the Orc's territory, the more the humans hated the Orcs because they had suffered from the Orc invasion. Now that a little Orc girl appeared in front of them, who knew what she would do.
However, Ceci and Su Ruoyan were determined. If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult for humans to enter the Orc's territory, they would have personally sent Zooey back. Unfortunately, although the war between the Orcs and humans had stopped, the border was still closed. They couldn't cross it at all, so they had no choice but to look for Li Huailin.
"Then we can only try it through the Orc's ambassador," Li Huailin said after a moment of thought.
"My lord, I object," Dramo suddenly said. At this moment, Dramo suddenly said. As they were about to go to the frontline, Li Huailin naturally brought along Dramo and Bruno, the two big killers, who were now by his side.
"Oh, why?" Li Huailin turned around and asked.
"Zooey is a gift from the Beastmen to Sir Overlord. To a certain extent, it also shows Sir Overlord's attitude towards the Beastmen. If we send her back now, it may cause a misunderstanding with the Beastmen. Therefore, this isn't just a simple matter of returning a pet. It's a matter that concerns the relationship between the two kingdoms. That's why I don't think it's necessary, "Dramo said.
"But if we don't send Zooey back, she might die of illness from missing her family," Ceci said.
"Second Madam, as long as Zooey is with us, the Beastmen won't care whether she's dead or alive, but if we send her back, it'll be a big problem. Based on the relationship between the two countries, sending her back won't do us any good, especially when the humans are still at war with the Undead," Drake said.
"…" Ceci was silent. She knew that since Zooey was sent over as a gift, it was Li Huailin's business how to deal with it. All he cared about was whether she accepted it or not. But if you returned the gift, it would make the person who gave the gift guess what was going on. Maybe the other party didn't want to be friends with you anymore.
"Can't you think of something?" Su Ruoyan asked.
"Why are you suddenly so interested in this guy?" Li Huailin asked.
"It's just that he looks so pitiful," Su Ruoyan said. "Although he's just an NPC, I still feel sorry for him."
"Ugh …" Li Huailin didn't feel anything, but since Su Ruoyan said it, he had to think of a solution. Otherwise, he would feel embarrassed. "Alright, let's think of a way to send him back. We'll discuss it with the Orc ambassador first."
"Huailin, you're too kind," Ceci immediately said.
"My Lord, this …" Dramo wanted to dissuade him, but Li Huailin raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't worry, the Orcs are just fish in water right now. If they piss me off, I'll make Zooey the queen of the Orcs. Do you think they can stop me then?" Li Huailin said. "There's still some time before the second army arrives. Let's settle this quickly."
"Yes, my Lord." All Dramo could do was dissuade Li Huailin. However, it seemed like Li Huailin had already made up his mind, so Dramo could only listen to his orders. On the other hand, Bruno remained silent as he didn't know much about these things. All he knew was that he would do whatever Li Huailin said.
The Orc Embassy was located in the main city, Blessed City. Of course, calling it an embassy was just a general name because the two countries had yet to establish a formal diplomatic relationship. Sometimes, they would fight, and sometimes, they would stop. There was no peace at all. The so-called Beastkin Embassy in the main city was actually just an office. It didn't enjoy any ambassador-level treatment. The guards at the entrance were all sent by the Human race to prevent the Beastkin from conducting espionage activities here. Basically, the Beastkin Embassy was just a liaison station for the Human race. If the Human race needed to communicate with the Beastkin, they could just use the Beastkin Embassy to communicate with the Beastkin.
When Li Huailin appeared at the entrance, the guards were a little surprised. The Undead and the Humans were still at war, yet the commander-in-chief actually appeared at the entrance of the Orc Embassy. They couldn't help but guess what was going on. Could it be that the Humans and the Orcs were discussing something important?
As the guards felt that the matter was serious, they immediately notified the Orc emissary inside. The Orc emissary also felt that it must be something important, especially at this time. He didn't know why the Duke of Aquitaine suddenly came to see him.
Therefore, the Orc emissary named Tikla immediately came out and welcomed Li Huailin inside. At the same time, the spies of the various countries in the main city of the Human race also learned of this news. They immediately reported it to their respective countries.
"I wonder what important matter the Duke has come to the Orc Embassy to discuss this time?" Tikla couldn't figure out what Li Huailin meant. Did he want the Orcs and the Humans to ally against the Undead? The Orcs were still at war with the Elves. This was a huge headache for the Orcs. There was also the issue of food in the Orcs' territory. If the Humans proposed to ally with the Orcs in exchange for food, perhaps the Elders would really agree. This was the most likely thing that Tikla could think of.
However, things often went beyond his imagination. Li Huailin smiled and said, "Ambassador Tikla, right? This time, I came to see you because of a troublesome matter. It's like this. Do you remember the gifts you gave me last time?"
Tikla was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Li Huailin to mention this. Although he didn't personally deliver the gifts last time, he still knew about this matter. So, he nodded and said, "Yes, Duke. What about the gifts?"
"This place is a little annoying," Li Huailin said with a very dissatisfied expression.
"Ah?" Tikla immediately became interested. "Are you satisfied with the place, Duke?"
"It's that little cat girl called Zoe," Li Huailin said. "You see, it's only been a while since the gifts arrived, but this little girl suddenly said that she missed her mother. Then, she actually stopped eating. This made my wife very worried, and it made me very unhappy. Since you are unhappy with me, I can only come to you."
"Huh?" Tikla was stunned. What was going on? Did the Duke of Aquitaine come all the way here to say that the gifts weren't good enough to affect his wife's mood? However, Tikla immediately thought that this wasn't right. Who was the Duke of Aquitaine? He wouldn't do something so boring. This sounded like a small matter, but there was definitely a big deal behind it. Tikla didn't dare to be careless.
Right now, the Humans were abnormally strong. Although they were still at war with the Undead, the Undead's invasion force was only around 20,000. On the Humans' side, there were around 300,000 soldiers. On the other hand, the Beastmen had less than 100,000 soldiers, and they were still at war with the Elves. Tikla didn't want to offend the most powerful person in the Humans. So, after thinking for a moment, he immediately said, "Duke, this is our negligence. I didn't expect it to cause you trouble. We will definitely deal with this problem immediately."
"Oh, you also know that it's your negligence?" Li Huailin nodded. The Beastmen seemed to be quite tactful. Indeed, they had been taught a lesson by Li Huailin and had learned to be obedient. "I still have to fight a war here. It's because of your problem that I'm having a headache right now, so settle it for me."
"Yes, Lord Duke," Tikla immediately replied.
"Oh, she's in the Duke's mansion. You can just send someone over." Li Huailin waved his hand. Of course, he meant for Tikla to send someone to take Zooey away. After all, Zooey was still very weak. She couldn't even get out of bed. If they were to send her back, they would have to ask the Beastmen to send a carriage to pick her up.
"Yes, Duke. I will report this matter immediately," Tikla said with a nod.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you. I'll head back first. I still have to go to the battlefield later." After everything was done, Li Huailin stood up and was about to leave.
"Duke, is there anything else?" Tikla asked curiously.
"Huh? What is it? "Li Huailin asked curiously.
"Uh … nothing." Tikla really didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask. "Have a safe trip, Duke."
"Sir, what does this Duke of Aquitaine mean?" One of Tikla's advisors asked Tikla after Li Huailin left. He also didn't understand what Li Huailin meant.
"That Zooey …" Tikla suddenly said. "I seem to remember that she's the illegitimate daughter of the leader of the Feline race, Zagaro …"
"What?" The advisor suddenly understood. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "The Duke of Aquitaine said that Zooey misses her mother. That means that he wants to send her mother here. And the person who sent her here is the Hidden Princess of the Feline race …"
"Hurry up and report this to the kingdom!" Tikla immediately shouted. He was also sweating.
