Chapter 83: The Princess’s Unpayable Kindness!
After the harvest festival ended, the residents of the territory returned to their homes in groups, filled with anticipation for the future.
Cliff was one of them.
Due to the large population in the territory and insufficient housing, he currently shares a dwelling with a man named Flick.
Both were originally slaves of the kingdom. Back in the Royal City, their daily meals consisted of hard, dry Black Bread and Oatmeal thinner than water, and their days were filled with endless work.
At that time, Cliff and Flick felt their future was predictable, their lives hopeless, and their paths utterly bleak.
But now, everything had changed.
The great Prince Lei Wen had not only abolished their slave status, making them Free Citizens, allowing them to live freely in this Territory,
but had also bestowed upon them a House in which to live, allowing them to sleep on comfortable, soft beds.
Furthermore, Prince Lei Wen was preparing to grant them Seeds, which meant that from now on, they would also have a Field of their own!
With this, they would no longer have to worry about going hungry.
Cliff and Flick never wanted to return to their previous lives.
Therefore, they cherished their current lives immensely.
Upon returning to their Wooden House, both knelt on the ground with devout sincerity, grateful for Prince Lei Wen’s bestowed gifts.
Prince Lei Wen was like a sun, illuminating their lives.
Life was truly becoming more hopeful!
At night, as the two lay on their respective beds, gazing into the darkness before them, Cliff couldn’t help but say:
“Flick, we cannot disappoint Prince Lei Wen!”
They had to work even harder to repay Prince Lei Wen’s kindness!
Flick grunted and smiled, “Do I need to tell you that?”
Cliff’s mind couldn’t help but drift to the Monsters within the territory, which made him exclaim:
“The Power of Monsters is truly amazing!”
They had never imagined that Monsters possessed such wondrous abilities.
“I wonder if I’ll ever encounter a Monster willing to follow me…” Flick couldn’t help but say.
Just like Prince Lei Wen’s Snivy, and the three Snowrunt, friends of Peppa and George.
When he eventually received his own Field, that Monster could help him with Farming Crops.
After spending some time together, their initial fear of Monsters had diminished.
Flick even found some Monsters to be incredibly majestic and even cute.
It wasn’t just Flick; Cliff felt the same way.
Every day, watching the Monsters running and playing throughout the Village, he felt a peculiar sensation budding within him…
The night was deep, and the cries of wild Monsters could be heard from the Forest outside. Lying on their beds in the small wooden house, Flick and Cliff felt incredibly at peace.
Filled with anticipation for their future lives, the two slowly drifted into dreams.
The same scene unfolded in various places across the territory.
At Lei Wen’s home.
Lei Wen sat by the fireplace, massaging his Dratini while watching the notifications continuously refreshing on the Territory Panel.
【 Satisfaction +10! 】
【 Satisfaction +25! 】
【 Satisfaction +20! 】
【…】
The territory currently had a total of 299 human Citizens and 28 Pokémon Citizens.
Today’s abundant harvest had solved the Food problem, ensuring everyone no longer worried about hunger. With “Food” from the necessities of life satisfied, the people of the territory began providing him with a large amount of Satisfaction again.
The notifications on the Panel began to scroll rapidly.
It continued for about three minutes before stopping, and the total Satisfaction reached two thousand five hundred.
With this, new Technology could be unlocked.
Not only that, but Lei Wen also noticed something.
The Loyalty of many Commoners in the territory had also increased significantly.
He scanned them roughly; most people’s Loyalty was currently hovering between 85-95.
Only a very small number had reached the maximum Loyalty of 100.
For example, the Old Butler Elif, Geralt, Anna, Ryan…
Lei Wen even saw that a person named Cliff’s Loyalty to him had also reached 100.
【 Commoner Name: Cliff 】
【 Age: 22 】
【 Occupation: None 】
【 Special Ability: None 】
【 Loyalty: 100 （ Max 100 ） 】
【 Life Experience: Kingdom Calendar Year 127, Cliff was born in a small Village in the Kingdom of Cassiaq. 】
【 Kingdom Calendar Year 135, the Kingdom of Cassiaq was destroyed, and Cliff became a prisoner of the Kingdom of Aindook. 】
【 Kingdom Calendar Year 145, Cliff lived as a slave in the Aindook Royal City. 】
【 Kingdom Calendar Year 148, bestowed upon the Third Prince Lei Wen and accompanied him to his Fiefdom. 】
【 Kingdom Calendar Year 149, Third Prince Lei Wen abolished slavery, and Cliff became a Free Citizen. His heart was filled with gratitude towards Third Prince Lei Wen, whom he regarded as the sun of his life, and he was determined to work hard to repay Third Prince Lei Wen’s kindness. 】
Lei Wen: “…”
“So that’s how it is.”
Looking at the person’s information, Lei Wen felt a bit speechless but was also quite pleased.
This person truly knew how to be grateful.
Good, he could be reused later.
However… Lei Wen noticed a piece of information in Cliff’s Life Experience.
The Kingdom of Cassiaq.
The size of a region in the Pokémon World is far greater than what is depicted in the anime. Even now, the Unova Region has not been completely unified.
Aindook was the largest Kingdom among them.
And in some border areas, there were still some very small countries…
Lei Wen couldn’t help but fall into thought.
Just then, a strong white light suddenly surged from the Snivy beside him again.
“Fuji…!”
Lei Wen’s attention was immediately drawn.
Was it about to Evolve again?
But the Snivy still refused to yield to this power, instead trying its best to suppress the urge to Evolve within its body.
After a long while, the light of Evolution slowly dissipated, and the Snivy sat on the ground, panting.
“Fuji…”
“Waa?” Seeing the Snivy’s state, the Dratini looked confused.
It didn’t understand why there were Pokémon in this world who were unwilling to become stronger and Evolve.
If it were it, it would immediately Evolve into a more powerful and stronger Pokémon.
Because only then could it protect Lei Wen and itself!
However, to the Dratini’s confused question, the Snivy did not explain.
“Fuji.”
It stood up from the ground and turned its gaze towards Lei Wen.
Lei Wen was contemplating a problem.
This couldn’t go on forever.
If the Snivy truly didn’t want to Evolve, then as its Trainer, he should consider giving the Snivy an Everstone.
Everstone: A stone containing a mysterious power. If a Pokémon carries it, it will maintain its current form and will no longer Evolve.
“Perhaps there might be one in the Mine…” Lei Wen murmured.
