Finally, I'm here again.
Looking at the Passus Mountain Range through the window, Dailey couldn't help but feel emotional.
She turned around and gazed at the emblem of the Pavwood Family in the carriage, feeling a sense of melancholy.
It had only been a year since she last came to Passus, but it felt like a long time ago to her.
This time, she was representing the Parkwood Family to attend the inauguration ceremony of Passus.
In fact, Jenn and Dailey had a close relationship.
When Zayen first came to the Eagle Plateau, it was through assisting the Parkwood Family to become the Chief of the Scal Federation that he obtained Passus.
But it was a pity that after that, the two parties drifted further and further apart and didn't have much interaction.
The reason for this was simple yet complicated. Initially, it was because of the treaty that Old Papwood signed to cede Passus to "humiliate the country".
Although this matter was done secretly and only a few high-ranking members of the Pavwood Family, including Dailey, knew about it, not everyone agreed with the old patriarch's actions.
Especially after the Pavwood Family gained control of the Scal Federation, there were voices within the family that wanted to take back Passus.
But fortunately, Passus was a barren land to begin with. There was no money, no food, and no manpower.
Moreover, after Zayen occupied Passus, he did not mention that he had dug out any tempting treasures or minerals, so the matter was suppressed by Old Pavwood.
But within the family, Jenn didn't have a good impression of Jenn.
Especially after that, the family headed by Soros caught wind of the matter and always wanted to use it as a breakthrough to drag the Pavwood Family down.
This also caused the Pavwood Family to panic. Many of them even complained that their patriarch was an old fool. Although Passus was a barren land with no benefits, it was still the territory of the Scal Federation.
You sold your position just like that. And even without that young man, do you think that the Pavwood Family will lose?
At that time, the entire Parkwood family didn't have a good impression of Jenn, especially after the Glittergold Empire invaded. Many people were extremely worried.
After all, those who were not of the same race were bound to have different intentions. In their eyes, Jenn was not a citizen of the Eagle Plateau, and he had obtained this piece of land cheaply.
If the Glittergold Empire reached an agreement with him and directly invaded the rear of the Skal Federation through Parsus, the Parkwood family would be in a passive position.
In the most extreme cases, some even suggested sending troops to recapture Passus to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Glittergold Empire.
However, after the Glittergold Empire was completely destroyed by Zayen's attack, no one mentioned this argument anymore.
At this moment, the Papood Family realized that their neighbor wasn't a poor family, but a low-profile noble who came to visit incognito. They regretted their actions. But it was a pity that they had no reason to claim kinship with Rhode anymore.
After that, Passus and the Skal Federation didn't have much interaction. Although both sides had some business dealings, it was only within a reasonable range.
It didn't involve too high a level, and because of this, Dailey didn't even get to see Enoya in the past year, let alone Jenn.
They also wanted to take the initiative to contact Jenn, but they hesitated and worried that he didn't have a good impression of them, so they didn't find the right time.
After Jenn's invitation was sent to the Parkwood Family, they naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
Not only did they accept the invitation, but they also sent Dailey to Passus as the family's representative. After all, she had some relationship with Jenn. If they sent someone else, they really didn't know what would happen.
"This is Passus?
Sister, it's too desolate here.
When I was at home, I heard a lot of people say that the new city is very beautiful … "
Sitting next to Dailey was her sister, Phelps, who was also a member of the Parkwood Family.
This little fellow was not very old, but she was a beauty in the making.
In fact, Dailey knew very well that the family had sent her and her sister here this time to use a honey trap on Zayen.
After all, after the series of incidents in the Glittergold Empire and the Country of Light, everyone had seen how powerful the Bashanon Mens Family was.
To ordinary people, it would be best if they could hitch a ride with the Bashanon Mens Family.
As for sacrificing two young ladies, what was the big deal?
Besides, weren't they born for this?
Dailey was well aware of her and her sister's mission, but she was not optimistic about it. As the person who had been in contact with Zayen for the longest time, she knew better than anyone that there would only be more beautiful women around Zayen. To put it bluntly, even if she were to compare herself to those maids, she might not even be able to match them.
On the other hand, Phelps was purer. After all, she was a young lady who had never traveled far. This time, she was more interested in exploring and exploring.
She didn't expect that her elders were planning to sell her on the chopping board.
Therefore, at this moment, he was leaning against the window and looking around like a curious baby.
However, she more or less revealed some dissatisfaction. After all, in her opinion, the green mountains and clear waters in front of her were nothing.
As for the legendary new city, she hadn't even seen a shadow of it yet.
"That new city is closer to the east. It's not here."
Looking at her sister's impatient expression, Dailey consoled her with a bitter smile.
Sometimes, she envied her sister because it was good to be ignorant like her.
On the other hand, Dailey had to consider how she should explain things to Jenn. Could it be that she should tell him, "Accept me into the palace. I can handle it."
Due to this reason, Dailey was depressed along the way and didn't know what to do.
When she saw the beautiful city in the mountains that resembled a pure white flower, even her melancholy was swept away at this moment.
"This …"
Sitting in the carriage, Dailey stared blankly at the pure white city. She widened her eyes in astonishment and didn't know what to say.
She had never thought that humans could use their powers to build such a beautiful, luxurious, and elegant city.
Phelps screamed in excitement when she saw the city.
So much so that when the carriage sped up the corridor that was almost like it was suspended in the air, she was so scared that she buried her head tightly in her sister's arms, not daring to look outside.
When they arrived at the magnificent inner city, they couldn't even see enough.
"This is the city of Passus?"
Standing on the steps of the wide plaza and looking at the scenery around her, Dailey was dumbfounded.
She knew a little more about Parsus than the others.
She knew what this place used to look like.
But now, the small village in her memory had disappeared without a trace. In its place was a magnificent, beautiful, and almost unbelievable city.
I really don't know how he did it.
Looking at the city, Dailey thought of Jenn again. But this time, she let out a sigh.
Even though she had guessed that the gap between her family and Jenn's was getting bigger, she could only understand the complicated feelings after witnessing it with her own eyes.
After entering the inner city, Dailey's carriage was stopped. As the ceremony was held in Jenn's manor, they needed to use another means of transportation to get there.
At this moment, some people had gathered. Judging from their attire, they should be invited guests. But …
Looking at the crowd, Dailey couldn't help but knit her brows.
She saw many people dressed in luxurious clothes, and it was obvious that they were bigwigs of certain forces.
Not only that, but based on her female instincts, she sharply discovered that there were many young ladies around her age following those bigwigs.
Even though Dailey didn't recognize them, based on their actions and aura, she was sure that their status wasn't far from hers.
In that case, their motive for appearing here was obvious.
"Sigh …"
Dailey let out a sigh. Frankly speaking, she didn't have any expectations of climbing up the tree that was Jenn.
Now that there were so many competitors, Dailey had even less of an idea.
Phelps was a well-behaved young lady who rarely went out. On the other hand, Dailey was one of the leaders of the Parkwood Family, so she understood the major forces around Eagle Plateau well.
Therefore, Dailey could tell that these people were the representatives of the nearby countries and forces. At this moment, many of them were chatting with one another as though they were interested in this city.
Just as Dailey was sizing it up, a voice suddenly sounded beside her.
"Greetings, Miss Dailey. Welcome."
Upon hearing the voice, Dailey was taken aback. She turned around hurriedly.
Soon, she saw a beautiful and delicate face with a gentle smile in front of her.
"Miss Enoya?"
Upon seeing Enoya, Dailey was taken aback. Of course, she knew that Enoya was Jenn's adjutant, but she didn't expect to see her here.
"You are …"
"I'm here to welcome the guests under Sir Overlord's orders."
Upon hearing Dailey's question, Enoya smiled, lowered her head, and gazed at the invitation letter in Dailey's hand. Then, she quickly shifted her gaze away.
"Miss Dailey, you're here on behalf of the Parkwood Family, right? Welcome to you and this …"
"Phelps. I'm Phelps Parkwood."
Although Phelps didn't know much about worldly affairs, as a young lady, her etiquette was naturally impeccable. Hence, after noticing Enoya's gaze, Phelps hurriedly bowed and introduced herself at the same time.
Upon hearing Phelps's response, Enoya smiled.
"Greetings, Miss Phelps. Welcome to Passus. I hope you like it."
As she spoke, Enoya turned and made an inviting gesture to the two.
"Alright then, it's about time. Please follow me."
