Elizabeth watched this scene smilingly. She looked at Miya with a consoled and respectful gaze.

Miya said out what she wanted bravely and insisted on it.

She didn’t have that kind of courage.

She had been pinned with great hopes ever since she was young.

They all wanted her to become somebody, but nobody asked if she would like to become that somebody.

“I-I want to stay behind too,” Elizabeth said.

Miya and Rankster turned to look at her at the same time.

Miya’s eyes lit up as if she already knew something.

Meanwhile, Rankster was a little perplexed. He said to Elizabeth, “Elizabeth, you want to stay in Chaos City too?”

Elizabeth looked into Rankster’s eyes and gravely said, “No. I mean I want to stay in Mamy Restaurant too.”

This time, she wanted to voice out her actual thoughts too.

It was Rankster’s turn to be dumbfounded now.

Both his precious daughters were going to stay in Mamy Restaurant as servers?

The daughters of Rankster, the princesses of the Frost Dragons, were going to stay in Mamy Restaurant and be servers?

“Great, Sister. You’ll continue to stay with me.” Miya had already run over and hugged Elizabeth’s arm happily with a bright smile.

Elizabeth patted Miya’s hand, but her gaze was still fixed on Rankster.

She had already killed Fox and was the candidate for the next chief of the Frost Dragons.

On their way to Chaos City, Rankster had already discussed the matter of her taking over the Frost Dragons with her. He intended to groom her to take over the position of chief in the next two years.

Yes. Nobody cared if she was willing to do it again. They simply thought that she was suitable to take that position.

Hence, she wanted to tell her father that she wasn’t willing today. At least, she wasn’t willing now.

Compared to that icy Frost Throne, she much preferred Mamy Restaurant’s comfortable and warm ambiance.

Those gazes that coveted that icy throne made her unable to eat and rest in peace, but here, she could open her heart and be herself.

This was the life that she looked forward to and missed.

Once, her goal was to find her father, and now this goal was achieved. She wanted to stop for some time and stay here with Miya and all the people who cared about her.

Rankster looked at Elizabeth, the daughter who made him proud, the daughter who inherited his powerful gift and combat ability. He seemed to have never understood her either.

“You may stay if you want to.” Rankster nodded, going along with her wishes.

He found out how much Elizabeth had suffered when she was looking for him after he returned from the ice sheets at the extreme north. He couldn’t make her carry on his ambition and will anymore.

Mamy Restaurant was really a weird place. It made both his daughters refuse to go home.

Miya hugged Elizabeth’s arm and said to Rankster, “Father, do you have a place to stay? If you do, I will go back to sleep first with Sister. See you tomorrow then.”

“I do.” Rankster nodded and wanted to continue speaking.

“See you tomorrow then…” However, before he could speak, the two maidens went away hand in hand and turned into an alley at the side.

“These two girls…” Rankster chuckled. He put down his hand slowly and gently murmured to himself as he looked at the ring in his hand, “Don’t worry. I will protect her for the rest of her life.”

“Mother left this ring to me, so I’m taking it with me.” Miya ran back and took the ring back from Rankster before hugging him gently and smilingly said, “Goodnight, Father.” Then, she ran away again.

Rankster looked at Miya’s back and chuckled. This girl’s character was livelier than Elizabeth. He couldn’t get used to it yet.

However, this feeling… was not bad. He felt he had just gained a mischievous sweetheart.

Miya hugged Elizabeth’s arm tightly and softly said, “Sister, I have been worried about you.”

“I’m fine. I simply went to look for Father.” Elizabeth shook her head with a smile, but she sensed Miya’s intention and felt warm inwardly.

Miya took out the key to open the dormitory’s door. After she pushed open the door, there was a loud bang and confetti burst out.

“Welcome home, Elizabeth!!!”

Elizabeth and Yabemiya stood at the door and looked at everyone standing in the living room with a cake smilingly, in a daze.

“Wow, it’s a surprise!” Miya’s eyes lit up.

“Everyone…” There was a faint gleam in Elizabeth’s eyes. She suddenly felt a little cold and her nose felt a little stuffy.

So, apart from Miya, there were still so many people who cared for her and doted on her.

“It’s cold outside. Come on in.” Gina stepped forward, took Elizabeth’s hand and pulled her into the room.

Miya closed the door and there was only warmth in the living room.

“You have been gone for so long and I missed you.” Gina gave her a hug first. Her body felt soft and comfortable.

Babla stepped forward and said with a blush, “Although I’m not good at expressing myself like this, I-I will still give you a hug.”

Elizabeth hugged her back with a smile and softly replied in her ear, “Thank you.”

Hannah went forward and said with a chuckle, “Big Sister Elizabeth. I’ll treat you to some liquor later. I have the best rum.”

“Sure.” Elizabeth nodded.

“Big Sister Elizabeth, it’s great that you are back.” Jane went forward to hug Elizabeth with a sincere smile too.

“Good girl.” Elizabeth patted Jane’s head smilingly. Although Goldihorn didn’t say much, she had always been well-behaved.

Angela was last to come forward. She gave Elizabeth a hug too. However, after hugging her, she softly mumbled, “She looks cold, but she feels soft and warm. It’s so comfortable… Hmm… so big!”

Elizabeth’s body stiffened slightly.

Angela took a step and smilingly said to Elizabeth and Miya, “Miya, I feel so scared sleeping alone at night. Can I sleep with both of you?”

“Sure.” Miya nodded innocently.

“No way!” Elizabeth rejected her decisively.

“Alright. We’ll sleep together when we get the chance.” Angela shrugged. She didn’t insist on it.

“Let’s eat the cake now,” Gina said.

“Where did this cake come from?” Miya asked with surprise.

She had been learning to bake cakes recently, but she wasn’t successful yet. So, who made this cake?

“Me.” Gina raised her hand and smilingly said, “I made it with ice cream. It’s an ice cream cake.”

“We only had very little time, so we came up with this idea.” Angela interrupted.

“It looks delicious.” Hannah swallowed her saliva.

Miya suppressed her laughter as she said, “Boss would want to hit someone if he heard that…”
