"A portrait of your father?!"
Elizabeth immediately turned around, and looked at the rolled-up piece of paper in Yabemiya's hands with a hint of bewilderment in her eyes.
"Yes, yes. Didn't I tell you last night that our boss drew a portrait of the son of an old man who had lost his child, and then posted a missing person notice? Then this morning, the child who had been lost for 25 years came to Amy's, and was reunited with his father. My God, he really does look exactly like the portrait that Boss drew! "Yabemiya nodded.
She waved the portrait in her hands excitedly, and continued, "Then I asked Boss to draw a portrait of my father for me today. Even though I've never seen him before, and have only heard of his appearance from my mother, I have a feeling that Boss drew my father!"
Elizabeth looked at the excited Yabemiya with a complex expression, and asked, "Do you really want to know what he looks like that much?"
"Of course! I really want to know what he looks like. I often dream of him, but I can't remember what he looks like every time I wake up. " Yabemiya nodded, and was a little dejected. However, she quickly became elated again, and said, "But now I know what he looks like. Let me show you."
Yabemiya untied the string on the portrait as she spoke, and slowly unfurled it.
A majestic man wearing a suit of gold and silver armor with a pair of gold and silver dragon horns on his head appeared in the portrait.
"Father …" Elizabeth fell into a momentary daze at the sight of the man in the portrait. She hadn't seen him for three years, and his appearance had already become a little blurry in her memory. Only after seeing this portrait did it become clear again.
However, a hint of bewilderment quickly flashed through her eyes. Even she couldn't draw her father's portrait so vividly, but Mia had obtained it from Meg. Could it be that he really drew this portrait based on Mia's description?
Of course, what made her even more uneasy was that Mia had already known what her father looked like from the moment this portrait appeared.
That pair of gold and silver horns was quite famous across the entire Norland Continent.
"Miss Elizabeth, isn't my father handsome? Once I've saved up enough money, I'll go and look for him. Perhaps if I meet any dragon customers in the future, I'll take out this portrait and ask them if they know my father. I believe that one day, I'll be able to find him too. "Yabemiya revealed a hopeful smile.
"Are you looking for him?" Elizabeth looked at her smile and felt a little inexplicable. If Mia really did this, then her identity would soon be exposed. Their father had more enemies than friends.
Mia also felt the change in Elizabeth's mood and asked curiously, "Miss Elizabeth, do you know my father?"
Elizabeth looked at Yabemiya in silence for a long time and nodded. "I know her."
"Really?!" Yabemiya's eyes immediately lit up, and her voice trembled slightly. She couldn't help but grab onto Elizabeth's hand, and exclaim, "You … You really know my father? Do you know who he is? Where is he now? "
It had been more than 10 years, and this was the first time she knew what her father looked like. She didn't think that she would be able to find out about him so soon. It even made her feel a little surreal.
"Because he's also my father." Elizabeth tried her best to control her voice, but it still trembled a little.
"You …" Yabemiya was stunned. She blinked at Y 'lisabet, and thought that she had misheard. "Miss Y' lisabet, w-what did you just say?" she asked tentatively.
"He's your father, and also my father," Elizabeth replied.
"H-how is that possible?" Yabemiya was finally sure that she hadn't misheard. She took a few steps back and looked at Elizabeth in disbelief. How could her father be Miss Elizabeth's father?!
"His name is Rankster, and he's the chief of the Frost Dragon tribe. He's a powerful giant dragon. I'm Elizabeth, Rankster's daughter. I'm also a Frost Dragon. "Elizabeth looked at Yabemiya, and tried her best to speak calmly.
Yabemiya opened her mouth and looked at Elizabeth for a long time. Her mind was in a mess as Elizabeth's words kept echoing in her head.
After a long time, Yabemiya looked at Elizabeth with red eyes and asked, "Did … you already know?"
"I'm sorry. Due to many reasons, I hid this from you." Elizabeth nodded with an apologetic look on her face. However, she quickly put on a serious face, and said, "However, I have to tell you that my father has many enemies. If others know your identity, you will be in extreme danger."
Yabemiya's eyes were red, and she said with a sobbing voice, "What about him? Where is he? Why hasn't he come back for so many years? Why didn't he come back to see my mother even after he promised her that he would? "
"I don't know. They all said that he's dead." Elizabeth shook her head. She didn't say that he wasn't by her mother's side when she died, either.
"Dead?" Yabemiya trembled, and her body swayed. Her eyes lost a lot of light as if she couldn't support her body anymore.
Elizabeth held Yabemiya's shoulder, and softly said, "That's just what they said. No one saw his body. I think he's just trapped somewhere."
Yabemiya felt the warmth from Elizabeth's hands on her shoulder, and looked at Elizabeth. She immediately jumped into her arms and cried.
Elizabeth's body stiffened. She looked at Mia, who was trembling and crying in her arms, and her heart softened. She raised her hand and placed it gently on her back to comfort her.
She didn't know how to comfort Mia. It was as if no one had ever comforted her before.
However, she wanted to bring some warmth to Mia. At least she was still here.
"Then … can I call you big sister?" Mia cried in Elizabeth's arms for a long time. Her tears wet her clothes, and she looked up at her with teary eyes and asked softly.
Elizabeth was a little taken aback when she heard Yabemiya call her big sister. However, when she saw how pitiful Yabemiya looked, she couldn't bear to reject her. After thinking for a while, she nodded. However, she quickly added, "Only when there are no outsiders."
"Okay." Yabemiya nodded vigorously, and a smile appeared on her face.
Ever since her mother passed away, she hadn't felt such a warm and reliable hug.
This was the first time she knew that she had a big sister in this world other than her father.
