    Chapter 1214


    On the journey ahead, his mood visibly improved, although he didn’t speak much.


    Neera didn’t know what hade over him, but she seized the moment and poured out her longing


    that she had been holding back.


    “Darcel, you probably don’t know, but you really resemble him. Your demeanor is almost identical, and


    your eyes, they’re just like his too.”


    “It’s been a long time since west met. At first, I thought you were him, but then I felt I was


    overthinking. This is Phison, so how could he possibly find his way here?”


    Darcel listened quietly, his lips never ceasing to smile.


    He was always someone rational, but he couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion upon hearing these


    words. Unable to contain himself, he asked, “Do you miss him a lot?”


    Neera walked with her hands behind her back, casually kicking the small stones on the road as she


    went along. She nodded her head slightly.


    “Yeah, I do miss him, and I miss him a lot. This is the longest we’ve ever been apart. And before we


    separated, we had a quarrel. But we’ve made up now, so I really want to finish everything here as soon


    as possible. I want to leave this ce soon and rush back to see him.”


    At this point, she lifted her head, watching the warm sun rise, and revealed a smile that was even


    brighter than the sunlight.


    “Before I entered Mount Cloud, I had contacted him. He said he woulde to see me. However, he


    doesn’t even know where I am. How could he possibly find me? It seems I’ll have to go see him


    instead.”


    “He will,” Darcel suddenly said, “He wille.”


    Neera looked at him quizzically, tilting her head. “Huh? But he doesn’t even know I’m in Phison, so how


    could that be possible?”


    Darcel’s gaze was deep and mysterious, his eyes bright. His voice was low, as if he was’ suppressing


    something.


    “Since he said he woulde to see you, he will definitelye. Men do not make promises easily.


    They will do what they say. Even if he doesn’t know where you are, he will definitely find a way to


    locate you. What you need to do is believe in him.”


    She didn’t expect him to say these words. Neera was somewhat surprised, her eyes slightly doubtful.


    “Darcel, the way you speak, it’s as if you know him very well…”

    Darcel’s gaze faltered slightly, realizing he had been a bit too hasty earlier. He steadied his emotions


    before speaking again.


    “I just feel that the man who can hold a ce in your heart wouldn’t be the type to make promises


    lightly without taking responsibility. You’re so outstanding, and the man who deserves you won’t be any


    less. So, if he said he woulde to see you, he definitely will.”


    “I see…” Neera touched her nose and smiled slightly. “Alright then. I’m looking forward to it.”


    After she finished speaking, she started to feel a bit embarrassed.

    “Um… Darcel, I got a bit carried away earlier. I found you very approachable, and I might have spoken


    a bit too


    much due to my excitement. You don’t mind, do you?”


    Darcel hooked his lips into a smile. “No, you can say whatever you want, and I will pay attention.”


    How could he possibly mind? To him, these words were the most precious treasure.


    Neera let out a “hmm,” feeling that her longing had been mostly expressed. The excitement had


    passed, and she felt too embarrassed to say anything more, so she simply changed the subject.


    The two of them chatted as they walked up the mountain. The journey was rather peaceful, and they


    didn’t encounter any danger for the time being.


    By the time noon arrived, Neera was feeling a bit hungry.


    Gurgle…


    The sound of a growling stomach echoed, and Neera immediately covered her abdomen in


    embarrassment, feeling somewhat awkward.


    “Sorry, I’m a bit hungry, but it’s okay. Let’s keep going. We might run into Shane and the others soon.”


    With a slight smile, Darcel said, “There’s no need to apologize. We’ve been walking all morning. If


    you’re hungry, let’s take a break. Who knows when we’ll run into them. It’s important to replenish our


    energy first.”


    Luckily, there were some emergency rations, enough for the two of them to have two meals in the


    backpack that Neera chose to carry with her.


    And so, the two of them sat down right there and shared the bread.


    Darcel didn’t really mind, but he couldn’t help but feel a bit unsettled seeing Neera willing to eat dry


    bread.


    “It’s tough on you, a young girl, to participate in such a brutal and harsh election.


    Neera didn’t really feel anything unusual.


    “There’s no question of difficulty or ease here. As the head of the Gordon family, once I’ve assumed


    this position, I must shoulder the responsibility, whether I’m forced into an unwee situation or not.


    This is an important election, so I can’t avoid making an appearance as the family head. Besides, I just


    need to persevere, no matter how tough or challenging the situation can be. It will pass somehow.”


    Darcel nodded silently, yet in his heart, he thought, “This girl remains as tenacious asjever.”


    While the two were taking a break, suddenly, a few people appeared out of nowhere. They looked


    disheveled, just like refugees, and they ran straight towards them.


    The color drained from Darcel’s face instantly. Without any hesitation, he pulled Neera behind him,


    firmly shielding


    her.


    Neera watched these few people, his heart suddenly on edge, his gaze alert.


    “Who are these people? What are they running over here for? They wouldn’t be nning to take


    advantage of us, would they?”
