Chapter 67: Corripo's Return
Time gradually passed, and without realizing it, it had been many months since Chen Heng had returned to the Kutu Royal City.
In the past few months, after Princess Olivia had clashed with Princes Grith, many things had happened.
The event that most people were focused on was Princess Verna's marriage to Knight Kailin from the Nardo family.
This was undoubtedly something that made many people excited.
As a member of the royal family, even though Princess Verna did not have much presence and could not compare to her older brother or sister, she was still a Princess and had a prestigious identity.
In the past, there were many people who wanted to marry this Princess, but they were all blocked out by Olivia.
And now, news of this Princess' marriage had suddenly been announced, and her husband was a noble from a small noble family.
Immediately, the Nardo family became famous in the Kutu Royal City.
As this news was spread, Chen Heng's own information became known by many people.
He came from a small noble family and was now the sole successor. His teacher was Corripo and was a powerful Knight who would soon awaken a Life Seed...
As his information spread, dissatisfaction towards this marriage gradually decreased.
Frankly speaking, Chen Heng's status was not very high; for most nobles in the Kutu Royal City, a Baron's status was quite low.
However, Chen Heng's family had its own territory, and the territory was quite prosperous.
Under such circumstances, Chen Heng being the sole successor of his family put him in a good position.
Moreover, as a quasi-Knight, he was better than some people.
A genius Knight who was about to awaken his Life Seed—this identity was not any inferior to the descendants of large noble families.
Moreover, being Corripo's student further made up for any remaining deficiencies.
As the Kutu Principality's Guardian Knight, Corripo's position was only below the King's. Before him, titles did not mean much.
As Corripo's student, Chen Heng's identity naturally was not simple either.
Chen Heng and Verna's wedding was not as lavish as most royal family weddings, but it was not as low-profile as expected.
At the very least, those who should know knew about it.
On the day of the wedding, Baron Kaisen brought his people over and acted as a witness.
When Chen Heng had told him about this wedding, he became so excited that he was almost unable to sleep, wondering whether he was dreaming.
On the day of the wedding, Princess Olivia was present, and she congratulated both of them.
This wedding caused big waves, but as time went on, the effects of the wedding gradually died down.
It was just that Chen Heng now had the title of 'Royal Knight.'
Time gradually passed.
Early in the morning, within a quiet courtyard, Chen Heng was training with his sword.
It was still very early, and most other people were still awake; only he was here, training by himself.
After a while, a servant walked over.
"Sir, Mr Krudo has come," she said softly as she looked at Chen Heng.
"I see."
Hearing this, Chen Heng felt a bit surprised but still nodded.
Afterwards, he walked to the courtyard outside.
After marrying Verna, his residence had changed; he had originally lived in a relatively remote area, but now he lived in a luxurious area.
However, because he had married Princess Verna, some rules had changed.
Before, when Krudo came to visit him, he could just directly walk in, but now he had to announce himself.
After Chen Heng walked into the hall, the big muscular man saw him and gave a slight smile.
"Kailin, my friend."
He quickly walked over and gave Chen Heng a hug.
"I went back to the northern side recently and only just heard of your marriage."
After letting go of Chen Heng, he grinned, "Hopefully I didn't disturb you?"
"There's nothing much to disturb," Chen Heng smiled, "It's still early and Verna is still sleeping; I was just doing my training. It's good to see you again."
"Is that so?"
Krudo laughed and said, "That's right, has there been any news from teacher?"
"Yes," Chen Heng nodded, "teacher sent someone to tell us that he will be back in a few days. When the time comes, he will come look for us himself."
"That's good," Krudo smiled, "it has been a long time since we've seen teacher."
"Indeed," Chen Heng nodded and said.
According to Corripo's original pan, he should have come back half a year ago.
However, because of some changes to plan, Corripo had been delayed again and again, and only now was he confident that he could come back soon.
"I wonder if teacher will be shocked when he comes back and sees us," Chen Heng grinned while looking at Krudo.
"Surely he will," Krudo also smiled, looking quite expectant.
They chatted and trained together for a while, just like before.
Following this, Krudo left behind the gifts he had brought before leaving.
The next few days passed quickly.
Three days later, Chen Heng finally received news from Corripo that he had arrived, and he went with Krudo to meet him.
"Who would have thought there would be such big changes in half a year," Corripo could not help but smile as he spoke while standing at the familiar training ground and looking at Chen Heng and Krudo.
After half a year, even though Corripo did not look too different, he looked a bit grimmer and more tired.
"This is especially so for you, Kailin."
Standing there, he looked at Chen Heng with a slight smile, "I never thought that in just half a year, you would have gotten married, and I missed it..."
"It's not too late for you to give me a wedding gift now," Chen Heng smiled as he stretched out his hand playfully.
"You're quite direct, eh?"
Corripo smiled, "Don't worry, you'll get a present. In actuality, I left this time for you two."
"For us?" Chen Heng and Krudo were both surprised.
"It should be about time for your Life Seeds to awaken..."
Looking at Chen Heng and Krudo, Corripo spoke, "That is why I left."
"Awaken Life Seeds?"
Hearing these words, Chen Heng felt quite surprised, "It has to do with our Life Seeds?"
"Indeed."
Corripo nodded and took out something and stretched out his hand.
