Chapter 45 Return
Lucia accepted Garin's arrangement and joined the Figalando family's guard, training hard every day.
Her idea was simple. If Jiger couldn't come out, at least she could still do something with her own strength.
But Ziger eventually couldn't hold on and died in the laboratory at the age of eight. Naturally, this kind of thing would not be publicized. Only a few people in the Figalando family and several other heavyweights among the Celestial Dragons knew about it.
Lucia didn't know that Jiger was dead, but that was a good thing for her.
Jiger was the motivation for her to practice hard. If she knew about it, she probably wouldn't be alive today.
The happiest day for her in all these years was when Garin came back from the Valley of the Gods and told her that Jiger had been released, but due to some special reasons, he was temporarily unable to return to Marijoa.
Although she felt a little disappointed, after hearing the news, Lucia finally felt relieved. She became more motivated in her practice and was looking forward to the day when she would meet Jiger.
Until this day six years later, Garin found her again and told her that Jiger was coming back. She was so happy that she was going crazy. She brought her men here to wait for Jiger before dawn.
When the elevator door opened, she saw Jiger standing in the center. The little boy who called her sister Lucia back then had now grown into a tall and handsome young man.
Perhaps it was because it had been too long, after she took off her helmet, Jiger didn't seem to recognize her. But it didn't matter, Lucia felt that her years of waiting were worth it, and her Saint Jiger stood in front of her again.
......
The memory of Lucia in his mind gradually became clearer, and Jiger looked at Lucia with more tenderness. He remembered the girl who broke into the laboratory with Garin that year.
He raised his hand and gently stroked the scar under Lucia's left eye. Lucia's body trembled and she stared at Jig in a daze.
"Lucia, I'm back."
Jiger's voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the softest part of Lucia's heart. At this moment, her big amber eyes were filled with tears.
Because this is the strict hierarchy of Marijoa, she resisted the urge to hug Jiger and said with a smile,
"Young Master, welcome home!"
Jiger nodded slightly, and the two looked at each other for a long time. The golden-armored guards brought by Lucia did not move, and no one looked up.
Spandine at the back didn't even dare to breathe, let alone the remaining men in suits. Anyone who knew a bit knew that the wisest choice at this time was to lower their heads and count ants.
Reaching out to wipe away the tears from Lucia's eyes, Jig said softly,
"Take me to see Uncle Jialin."
Lucia hummed softly, and when she turned around, her expression suddenly became cold, and she ordered the guards kneeling on the ground,
"Line up and send the young master home!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards stood up and lined up in two rows behind Jiger. The whole process was in good order.
Spandine swallowed his saliva, jumped behind the guards and shouted,
"Master Jiger, I'll wait for you on the boat!"
No one responded to him at this time, and Jiger and his group had already walked away.
From time to time, there were Celestial Dragons riding slaves passing by on the road. When they saw this scene, they immediately started to discuss it.
"Hey, isn't that the exclusive guard of the Fegalando family? Who's the guy in the lead?"
"Who knows, hehe, isn't that Lucia? She's getting prettier and prettier. It would be great if I could get her by my side."
"Just think about it. Saint Garin publicly said that the woman was prepared for his nephew Saint Jiger."
"Saint Jiger? If you hadn't mentioned him, I would have almost forgotten about him. He is said to be a direct descendant of the Figalando family, but I have never seen him show up. I don't even know if he exists."
"That's true. My father told me that the current generation of the Fegalando family has not produced any offspring yet. Saint Galin and Saint Gulando don't seem to be very interested in women. If this continues, the Fegalando family may disappear~"
"It would be best if they disappeared! Then wouldn't all their resources be distributed to us?"
The unbridled voices of several Celestial Dragons were heard, but Jiger's expression remained unchanged. Lucia sneered with disdain, thinking that even if the Figalando family had fallen into decline, it was not something that a bunch of good-for-nothings like you could covet.
After staying in the Figalando family for so many years, she still feels that what she has seen is just the tip of the iceberg of this family.
And now Lord Jiger has returned. As long as he is here, the Fegalando family will continue. Unfortunately, I can't help with this matter...
Thinking of her status as a slave, a gloomy look appeared on Lucia's face.
"Lucia, you don't look well, what are you thinking about?"
Lucia looked up at Jiger, who was looking concerned, and quickly shook her head.
"It's okay, young master. I just feel a little sad for you after hearing what those people said..."
"Feeling sorry for me?"
"Well, Young Master is obviously the only heir of the Fegalandu family, and your status is so noble, but you encountered such a thing. The glory that should belong to you has not really been obtained until now!"
Although what Lucia said was not what she had just thought, it was also what she really thought.
After hearing this, Jiger sighed, looked forward, and said,
"You are the same, aren't you? Remember Uncle Jialin told me that you were once a princess of a country. If the country hadn't perished, you would be much happier now than staying in this so-called holy land."
Lucia didn't expect that Jige would still think of her. A complex emotion brewed in her heart. She murmured with trembling lips,
"Young Master..."
Without looking at her, Jig continued:
"Lucia, I heard you say that you are now the captain. You are really outstanding, but I think you must have suffered a lot over the years."
Lucia could no longer control the strong emotions in her heart. She ignored the shocked looks of the people around her and finally threw herself into Jiger's arms, crying bitterly.
"Master Jiger, I really missed you! Where have you been all these years?"
Jiger stroked Lucia in his arms and said,
"First I spent six years in a country called Solbay, and now I'm in the Navy."
"Navy!? Why would you want to go to the navy with your status, young master?"
"hehe......"
Jiger looked at the residence of the Fegalandu family which was gradually becoming clear in front of him, and said lightly,
"Of course it's to gain strength. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disappointing his expectations of me?"
