Chapter 513 - 302: Tulip King: How Come I Didn’t Know My Kingdom Was So Awesome?
"Thor!"
"Thor!"
"Father!"
"Young Master Thor!"
"Lord!"
Along with Count Engel, and Thor returning with the members of the Knight Order, Carlo Dressrosa, a middle-aged beautiful woman, and Tono quickly approached. The tension and pallor on their faces were now replaced by delight.
Count Engel was unharmed.
Thor was also unharmed.
For the Dressrosa Family, there was nothing more joyous than this.
"Big Brother!"
Looking at Carlo Dressrosa before him, Thor hesitated a bit but still managed to recall this figure from his memory and spoke with a smile.
"Hahaha, not bad, I’ve heard quite a few legends about you during this time."
"As expected of the Dressrosa Family’s Eagle."
"Come, let me introduce you to someone, you might have forgotten. This is your sister-in-law, Annette Essen. You were only seven or eight years old when we got married."
Carlo Dressrosa couldn’t help but pat Thor’s shoulder as he spoke with a smile.
"Hello, Sister-in-law!"
Thor quickly greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Thor!"
Annette Essen also responded with a smile.
"By the way, Father, what happened with the Kingdom War, and why were the losses so severe this time?"
Seeming to have thought of something, Carlo Dressrosa looked at his father with a puzzled inquiry.
"Severe losses?"
Count Engel was startled for a moment, speaking with surprise.
"Yes, in this Kingdom War, it’s feared that over forty percent of the nobility suffered losses, with the losses among major nobles above the rank of Count being particularly severe."
Carlo Dressrosa nodded and then recounted the situation he had just seen.
Listening to Carlo’s account, Count Engel couldn’t help but wear a grim expression, while Thor raised his eyebrows.
For him, this wasn’t too surprising.
This was a Divine War after all.
Even though some unexpected events happened and the Empire’s Deities protected the participating nobility, the previous losses could not be compensated, and with the format of this Kingdom War, losing forty percent, or even fifty or sixty percent for some kingdoms, was a normal occurrence.
"I’m not too sure about the specifics; it should be due to the collapse of that Exotic World’s space!"
Count Engel pondered slightly and then spoke lightly.
"The Exotic World collapsed?"
Carlo and Annette Essen glanced at each other with a look of shock.
Even though they had obtained some information from Tono, as if they were sealed in various spaces, they didn’t know about the rest.
They didn’t expect such an outcome.
"Let’s go, we’ll return to the camp."
"Tomorrow is the official opening of the Merit Points."
Count Engel nodded, then looked around and spoke lightly.
"Alright!"
Carlo nodded, and the others didn’t have any objections.
However, just as they were about to leave this place,
a figure arrived at the gathering place of the Dressrosa Family.
The arrival of this figure,
with the striking Liepuer emblem on them, left many figures somewhat surprised.
Especially the nobles who were keeping an eye on the Dressrosa Family.
Watching the approaching figure, Count Engel and Thor both showed a hint of surprise but quickly went to greet them.
"Count Sakre!"
Count Engel spoke, his expression somewhat puzzled.
And this figure before them was the second son of Old Duke Liepuer.
"Count Engel, Viscount Thor, my father invites you both to a banquet tomorrow night, do either of you have time?"
Sakre Liepuer spoke with a smile, his words extremely composed.
"A banquet tomorrow night?"
"Of course, we have time. Thank you, Duke Liepuer."
Count Engel glanced at Thor, and when Thor nodded, he also smiled and nodded.
"That’s wonderful, these are the invitations for tomorrow night’s banquet. My father awaits your arrival."
Sakre said with a smile, then took out two invitations.
"Alright, we will be there."
"Thank you very much."
Count Engel and Thor couldn’t help but accept the invitations and expressed their gratitude.
Then Sakre took his leave.
But watching this figure depart, the entire Dressrosa Family was no longer calm.
"That, that was Count Sakre, right!"
Annette Essen spoke, somewhat incredulously, casting a glance at Count Engel and then at Thor, momentarily unable to react.
Even though she’s a marquis’ descendant, that person is a duke’s descendant, completely on a different level.
This person actually came personally to invite her father-in-law and her husband and brother-in-law, leaving her jaw slightly dropped.
"Father."
"Thor!"
Carlo also spoke instinctively.
And at this moment, he also recalled the Kalenina family and the Skodar family who came to inquire before.
His expression paused slightly.
"Hahaha, Big Brother, we had some interaction during the Kingdom War."
Looking at his brother’s expression, Thor couldn’t help but chuckle and explain.
"Interaction?"
Carlo and his wife Annette Essen exchanged a glance, their expressions growing more doubtful.
