The Elf tribe was naturally in tune with nature, so Green should have no problem dealing with these peculiar fruits.

Rom looked at the faint light emanating from Mio and his eyes sparkled with an unknown gleam.

"So, this little girl is an Elf."

"Um... how did you know, sir?"

"Because my wife is also an Elf, and besides the Elf tribe, this kind of gentle magic power cannot be found in any other race."

Rom sat up from the wooden chair and walked to the nearby fruit tree. He caressed it for a while before picking a beautiful and exquisite fruit and took a gentle bite. Instantly, a sweet taste filled his mouth, making his body soft and a pleasant feeling spread throughout his body.

"Only people of the Elf tribe can cultivate this kind of fruit. Little girl, try attaching your magic power to your hand. It should be easy to pick the Shy Shy fruit."

"Oh... I'll give it a try."

Mio followed Rom's words and tried it. She found that as she touched the Shy Shy fruit, it made a sound that only she could hear, as if it was moaning.

This made Mio feel a little... weird.

But the Shy Shy fruit obediently surrendered under Mio's pomegranate skirt. With a gentle pull, it was picked, and Rom said to her, "Try it."

Mio opened her mouth and took a bite. Immediately, a surprised expression appeared on her face, not because of the amazing taste, but because of the indescribable feeling contained within it.

At least Mio could feel that this fruit was carefully cultivated.

Seeing Mio's expression, Green couldn't help but become curious and wanted to pick one and try it as well. But then he suddenly remembered that it would be troublesome to pick, which made him a little annoyed with his father-in-law.

If he had to pick all the fruits in this orchard, it would probably not be enough time for a day, and he didn't know if there were any frustrating things in the tasks that followed.

Green realized that the king probably wanted to test his character through these things, or maybe not, but at least it proved that he wouldn't use violence to solve these issues with Green.

At this moment, Green actually wished that the king could be more wicked, so that it would be easier to treat him as the antagonist. But in reality, the king was not evil to the extent that he could be considered an antagonist; he could only say that his expression of fatherly love was somewhat abnormal.

"By the way, Grandpa Rom, does the king often visit the common people in person?"

"Quite often. Is there a problem with that?"

"Not really, I just wanted to ask what kind of person you think the king is."

"Um..."

Seeing Rom fall into silence, Green realized that he had touched on a sensitive topic. Rom could naturally see what Green was thinking, and then he chuckled twice.

"Don't worry, the king hasn't become so petty — I mean, as long as it doesn't involve the princess."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"The king is famous for doting on the princess. Once, when the princess was harassed by the son of a certain duke, that duke suddenly became cold overnight. The Elder Council made a big fuss about it at the time, saying that the king was irrational and caused the king's power to decrease a lot. Most of the actual power is now with the Elder Council."

Rom said with a light and casual tone, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

"Do you... know the king well, Grandpa?"

"Well, we were classmates once."

Rom said nonchalantly, then sat back in the wooden chair and looked at Mio, who was passionately picking the Shy Shy fruit. He couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"If my son were still alive, he could find a girlfriend like this now. By the way, the princess has returned to the country recently. I wonder what the Elder Council will do next... Oh please, forget what I just said."

Rom suddenly seemed to have let something slip, but before Green could ask, he forced two awkward laughs.

"I say this, but you don't seem like the kind of person who easily gives up. But since you were sent by the king, it means there's some credibility to it."

"..."

Upon hearing Rom's words, Green swallowed the words he was about to say, and just quietly watched him. At this moment, Mio handed a bunch of Shy Shy fruits she had picked to Green, and he received them and put them into his own personal space.Rom was clearly startled when he saw this scene.

"Hey, kid, that's my stuff. Where did you hide it???"

"Oh, sorry, I just..."

Green awkwardly smiled and waved his hand, and nearly ten fruits appeared in his hand. But just as Green was about to ask Rom where to put them, Rom suddenly shook his head.

"Never mind, just keep them."

"Oh... thank you."

Thinking he shouldn't let them go to waste, Green took them back.

Rom chuckled lightly at this and continued speaking.

"The situation with the Elder's Council is nothing new. His Royal Highness sent Princess to the Kingdom of Xion largely due to the influence of the Elder's Council."

"Why do you say that?"

"For the Elder's Council, Princess Aloof is their biggest obstacle to controlling this country. The reason is simple: Princess Aloof has the potential of a god."

"The potential of a god? What's that?"

Green frowned and looked curious.

He crossed his legs and sat down out of nowhere, then took out a shy fruit and started eating it, as if he had found an interesting show and quickly found snacks to enjoy it with.

Mio was still picking fruits, and from her expression, she seemed a bit addicted. But when she saw Green's skill of sitting out of thin air, she was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Green didn't care about the strange looks from the two. He just used his eyes to urge Rom to continue.

"Cough cough, the potential of a god is just what it sounds like. You can find related books in the city. Legend has it that in the distant ancient times, the Goddess of Life left behind an heir to this world when she left for the divine realm, and Princess Aloof's mother was from the legendary family that received the inheritance."

"Old man, you sure know a lot..."

"... Didn't I tell you? You can find all this information in the books in the city. It's not a secret, and the potential of a god in Princess Aloof is also well known by the public."

Green was at a loss for words for a moment. He just unconsciously praised Rom, but if that's the case, Aloof's identity might not be simple. He wondered if the attribute panel could reveal something.

As Green was thinking this, he subconsciously brought up the attribute panel, but quickly noticed something strange.

The mass of power that represented the attribute panel suddenly became ethereal, and then in just a few seconds, it turned into pure source energy scattered within Green's body.

Then Green realized that he couldn't bring up the attribute panel anymore.

"...?"
