"How about having something to eat with me? I rushed here overnight, so I only had a small meal to fill my stomach."

Harvey ordered a table full of food, but it would be more accurate to say it was a table full of desserts rather than food.

Perhaps these were specially prepared for Theresa.

Faced with a table full of desserts, Theresa didn't know where to start.

She glanced up at Harvey. Even dessert required a knife and fork.

This made me feel a little confused. Do I need to use a knife and fork to eat dessert? Can't I just eat it with my hands?

After taking a bite, Harvey put down his knife and fork. He was clearly not very hungry. He then wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "I heard Akzhan wrote to tell me that Miss Theresa seems to be ill and wants to go to Hiyori City for treatment."

Theresa nodded in agreement. If that was what Akzhan was saying, then she would definitely go see a doctor.

By the way, you can also check your muteness and facial paralysis problems, maybe there is a possibility of cure.

After all, who doesn’t want to have a healthy body?

"That's a bit strange... Why don't you come here for treatment? You know, this place worships the goddess of abundance. Logically, the treatment methods here should be very advanced."

Harvey muttered quietly, taking a quick glance at Theresa's silky hair while she was savoring her dessert.

According to the legend of Hiyori Castle, the brighter a person's golden eyes become, the closer their connection with the goddess Astra becomes. Furthermore, Theresa had hair as white as snow.

However... perhaps... perhaps she is the child born to a noble in Hiyori City and someone else. To put it bluntly, she is impure.

Even so, she still has such dazzling golden eyes. It can be imagined that both the man and the woman have extremely strong genes.

Harvey had only seen eyes like these in one person. What kind of eyes were they? When he first stumbled upon them, he couldn't help but feel awe.

Oh! He suddenly realized something. Maybe he wanted her to meet her biological parents.

As an experienced businessman, Harvey was no stranger to such aristocrats having illegitimate children. In this world, power and wealth are often accompanied by various complex emotional entanglements and exchanges of interests.

Just as Harvey was lost in thought, Theresa took advantage of his inattention and quickly reached out to grab the dessert.

Rather than enjoying it slowly with cutlery, she prefers to eat it directly with her hands, because some desserts taste better when they are fresh out of the oven.

When Harvey came to his senses, Theresa had already raised her head and stared at him with her beautiful eyes. She seemed a little reserved, as if waiting for Harvey to taste the exquisite desserts first.

At this moment, a piece of paper was suddenly handed to Harvey. It read: "How about we split the cost of this dessert?"

Harvey looked at the note and realized that Theresa might be so cautious because she was too concerned about other people's feelings.

Harvey said to Theresa in a slightly serious tone, "Ms. Theresa, this is really inappropriate. I don't know what you've been through, but it's not a good thing to develop such a character. I think you must care a lot about other people's feelings, right? But you must change, otherwise you will never be able to truly hold your head high. So, please let go and enjoy this delicious food!"

Theresa was stunned for a moment after hearing Harvey's words. After all, this was the first time she had been taught so directly since she came into this world.

Perhaps Harvey was right. Whether she waited for others to finish their work before ordering, or waited until they had chosen their tasks before approaching, she always put the needs of others before her own.

Did this behavior really make her happy and satisfied?

So Theresa enjoyed the food to her heart's content, and Harvey smiled and pushed his dessert in front of her.

Soon, they had tasted all the desserts on the table.

Theresa caressed her slightly swollen belly, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction.

In that case...

Theresa passed him a note asking about the gun on his waist.

Harvey looked slightly surprised, then covered the weapon with his clothing and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. "I was careless. I didn't realize I was still carrying it. If someone from the church or the arbitration bureau saw me, I'd probably be questioned again."

He explained with a wry smile, "You know, the business life is full of uncertainties, so we often hire adventurers to guard against unexpected events. But sometimes, we also need to prepare some self-defense items. This small musket is for self-defense. Of course, it will inevitably come in handy in dangerous moments."

From the sophisticated mechanical bird in Harvey's hand and the musket at his waist, it can be seen that he comes from a country with quite advanced technology.

"Alas, if this country hadn't relied so heavily on tradition and adhered to its primitive ways, perhaps steam trains would have already been traversing this land, and I wouldn't have had to endure the scorching sun and the bumpy ride of a horse-drawn carriage. However, it's precisely this respect for nature and independence that has resulted in the exceptional quality of their wines and crops, and doesn't prevent me from coming here every month to purchase their wines and make a killing."

That’s right, the technology here exudes an ancient atmosphere. No wonder it is a country that worships the goddess of abundance.

"Okay, I have to get busy. Miss Theresa, remember to pack up. We have to catch the last train tonight so that we can reach Hiyao City in the morning." After Harvey gave the instructions, he tidied his clothes and went to work.

Why are you always in such a hurry to leave? Hiyori Castle, that name just makes me yearn for it.

Thinking of the muskets, mechanical birds, and steam locomotives, Theresa couldn't help but guess that it must be a technologically advanced country.

Oh, and there's the dwarf workshop that Ruijin mentioned. It's said to be right there. Maybe I can buy a weapon there then. I just hope I have enough money.

Theresa wondered whether Storm and Regin would return to the guild tonight. She heard they were traveling together.

She decided to say hello to Miss Jomari first and wrote a note.

"Ms. Qiao Mary, I'm going out tonight. Please take care of my room for me and don't let anyone in. I'll be back soon!"

Considering that it was only a short trip, she decided to bring the necessary clothes and started packing in preparation for the evening journey with a playful mood.
