Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant Chapter 499 - About Freedom

Chapter 499 About Freedom
“Let’s go somewhere else. I don’t want anyone to overhear our conversation.” Blour took a glance down at Sally before drifting down lazily from the tree that he was perched on. He then turned and made his way deeper into the square.
Sally hesitated momentarily before following behind him.
“Father, are we still not going to bed?” Amy yawned as she looked at Mag, who was standing at the restaurant’s entrance.
“Coming now.” Mag closed the door before picking up Amy and Ugly Duckling in his arms, and making his way upstairs.
There wasn’t really anything that he could do about Sally at the moment. He simply wasn’t powerful enough at present, so he could only keep a low profile and let Sally make her own decision.
“What do you want from me? If you’re trying to persuade me to go back to the Wind Forest, then you can forget it. I won’t go back.” Sally looked on with a cold and wary expression at Blour, who had stopped in front of a patch of flowers.
“I’ve only just come to Chaos City as well; I don’t want to go back so soon.” Blour turned to Sally with a lazy smile, and said, “Yngwie received information that you were working at Geya Hotel and Mamy Restaurant, so he relayed it back to the Baibilly Family. My father then sent me here with a very simple objective in mind. He wants me to approach you and make you fall in love with me, thereby making our engagement a reality.”
“Even if you know where I live, you won’t be able to stop me if I want to leave. You’re only a 7th-tier magic caster, as is Yngwie.” Sally wore a slightly grave expression on her face. Her worst fear had been realized-Blour was indeed here for her, and not just coincidentally passing by.
Furthermore, the Baibilly Family already knew of her location, so it would be unrealistic for her to continue to stay at Mamy Restaurant.
However, she didn’t understand why Blour would tell her all this. If his goal were to approach her, then what he was doing simply didn’t make sense.
“You don’t have to worry. I don’t like you, and I have no intention of marrying you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be telling you all this. Instead, I would act according to their plans and make you fall in love with me.” Blour smiled at the cautious Sally, and said, “Of course, with my stunning beauty, any woman would fall in love with me even if I didn’t try.”
“What do you want, then?” Sally’s brows furrowed as she looked at Blour. She had heard about his narcissistic tendencies back when she was at the Wind Forest; it appeared that those rumors were true. However, she was more interested in what he had to say. If he really didn’t like her and was opposed to the engagement as well, then perhaps they could work out a deal.
“I want many things, but those things do not include you. If you want to continue to stay in Chaos City, then you have to cooperate with me in putting on an act. Otherwise, even I can’t ensure that information regarding your whereabouts won’t be disclosed to the Brewster Family.” Brewster looked at Sally with a smile.
“How do I cooperate?” Sally asked.
“Their objective in sending me to Chaos City is to get me to approach you, then establish a relationship with you. That will ensure the success of the marriage alliance between the Brewster and Baibilly Families. If they become aware of the fact that there’s no way for a relationship to blossom between us, they’ll take that information to the Brewster Family, and exchange it for some benefits. However, if they think that I have a chance of conquering you and taking you as my wife, then they’ll try to create more time for us to be together, thereby keeping your whereabouts confidential to everyone else.” Blour looked at Sally with a serious expression as he said, “So, all you have to do is pretend to be interested in me, and you’ll be able to buy time for yourself.”
Sally looked at Blour in silence for a long while before asking, “Why are you doing this? How do you benefit from helping me?”
The smile on Blour’s face faded, and was replaced by a serious expression. “That’s simple. I also want freedom. Chaos City is a very interesting place, and I want to stay here for a while. However, I need your help to do that, and I need you to promise me something.”
“Promise you what?” Sally looked at Blour with a wary expression. She didn’t believe for a second that Blour would help her from the kindness of his heart, especially when he was supposed to be her fiance.
“You most likely haven’t heard about this, but this morning, Princess Irina left the cave of life and killed Schubert, the leader of the Krol Family.” Blour didn’t give a direct reply to Sally’s question.
“What?!” Sally stared at Blour with incredulity on her face. Schubert was an extremely esteemed individual in the elven race, and his Krol Family held an even higher status than the Brewster Family. And yet, Schubert, his family’s head, had been killed by Princess Irina? How had something like that happened?
“Yngwie only just received an urgent letter detailing this event earlier in the day…” Blour began to elaborate on the contents of the letter as he said, “Schubert brought everything upon himself. Princess Irina was put in detention for a year for killing Schubert, but that’s only a trifling punishment considering the crime that she had committed. You know what that means, right?”
“An elf without freedom… isn’t an elf?” Sally listened to Blour’s words, and she felt as if the ideals that had been drilled into her ever since she was a child had received a heavy blow.
“I agree with the princess’s views on freedom, but the current elven race is both free and powerful. If we overthrow the current social system, then the elven race will inevitably become weaker. In that case, other species will be able to slaughter us as they please again. When that time comes, more elves would lose their freedom, and be humiliated even further.” Sally shook her head as she said, “What we should be doing now is to convince all of the elves roaming the continent to return to the Wind Forest. Only then will our elven race become more powerful.”
“100 years ago, the elven race was able to force the demons and orcs out of the Wind Forest. This revolution is not enough to make the elven race fall apart.” Blour looked at Sally with a serious expression, and asked, “Besides, do you really think that the roaming elves want to return to the Wind Forest?”
