Deep in the sea.

In the golden world.

Hal sneezed for no apparent reason.

He touched his nose and said speechlessly: "Which idiot is saying bad things about me!"

——

Palace Hatch.

Hal sat in front of the tall throne, with a mountain of documents in front of him.

He couldn't help frowning while reviewing government affairs.

Brother Cat was leading his army to fight outside, and many important affairs fell on his shoulders.

"Damn, I'm really short of manpower!" He muttered in distress, with a helpless look on his face.

"You deserve it! Who made you run so far!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded.

Hal looked up suddenly, with a hint of surprise on his face: "Mavis!"

He saw Mavis floating not far away, with a playful look, and he was relieved immediately.

"Where have you been? Why are you here just now?"

"Huh?! I've been rushing all the way here, I'm so tired!" Mavis complained angrily.

"Can ghosts get tired too?" Hal raised his eyebrows curiously.

"Tired of heart! Do you understand, silly Hal!" Although Mavis complained in a complaining tone, there was a cute look on her face.

Hal smiled and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I forgot.

But... you should be able to fly."

"Humph!" Mavis pouted, then froze for a moment,

"Wait, it seems... you're right, I'm a ghost, I can indeed fly."

Hal shrugged, pretending to think, muttering in a low voice: "I'm beginning to doubt the title of 'Fairy Military Advisor'..."

"What did you say?" Mavis's silly hair trembled, and her eyes instantly became sharp.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, making a heavy sound.

"Ah!" Mavis was startled and immediately hid behind Hal's chair, sticking her head out alertly.

A man in a neat suit walked in, with a calm and majestic expression on his face.

There were a few strands of silver in his golden hair, showing that he was not young, but his momentum was still extraordinary.

"Your Majesty, Heartfilia has arrived." The black knight reported respectfully.

"I know, go down." Hal nodded, still calm.

"Yes." The knight bowed and left, and the palace door slowly closed behind him.

Jude Heartfilia walked into the hall, looked up at the magnificent palace, and his eyes could not help but stay on Hal who was working at his desk.

He took a deep breath, then knelt on one knee and bowed his head solemnly.

"Jude Heartfilia, meet your majesty."

Mavis carefully poked his head out from behind Hal's chair, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Who is he, Hal?" Mavis asked in a low voice, with a bit of curiosity in her voice.

"The father of our guild member, a very business-minded man, came to help me deal with affairs."

Hal saw her little head sticking out from behind the chair, couldn't help but be amused, and explained in a low voice.

"Oh~" Mavis responded softly, then leaned behind the chair and quietly looked at Jiude in front of him.

Jiude kept kneeling on one knee, although he was puzzled why Hal didn't say anything for a long time, but he didn't dare to look up.

He knew the majesty of the young emperor, and he had heard rumors that even the Council had to bow in front of him.

Hal glanced at him and coughed lightly: "Don't be so reserved, the Heartfilia family was also a noble, stand up."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiude replied respectfully and slowly stood up.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, looking at each other.

After a while, Hal spoke first: "Do you know why I summoned you from far away Fiore?"

Jiu De lowered his eyelids slightly and said respectfully: "I have heard a little, but I don't understand the reason. I wonder if Your Majesty can teach me?"

Hal smiled slightly: "Of course it's for your precious daughter, Lucy."

"Lucy?!" Jiu De was shocked when he heard it, and his eyes were full of worry.

"How is she now? I heard that she was involved in a huge incident..."

"I haven't seen her for four years..." Jiu De's voice revealed deep worry and helplessness.

"I have been to Fairy Tail and her home, but I can't find any trace of her."

Hal nodded, his tone slightly comforting: "She is fine, just a little injured, and it will take three years for her to wake up."

"She is safe now." Hal briefly told Jiu De what happened.

Hearing that Lucy was safe and sound, Jiude finally let go of his worries, his tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and a trace of gratitude and relief appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, I feel relieved with these words."

"I asked you to come here not only for Lucy." Hal's eyes sank, with a hint of meaningDeep,

"You are old."

After that, the green magic rose from Hal's hand and gently wrapped Jiude.

The warm light was like a spring breeze, dispelling the fatigue and aging in his body.

Jiude was surprised to feel the changes in his body, and he gradually regained the vitality of his youth

"This... This is..."

The green light became stronger and stronger, and the whole hall was illuminated by the dazzling light.

Mavis couldn't help but open her mouth and exclaimed: "Oh~ So amazing!"

As the light gradually faded, Jiude's face became much younger, and his body seemed to be full of new vitality.

He could clearly feel that he seemed to have regained at least twenty years of youth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiude bowed his head excitedly to thank him, with tears in his eyes.

Hal waved his hand lightly: "It's nothing, after all, I don't want Lucy to wake up and find that her father is gone."

Thinking of his daughter, Jiude's heart was touched again, and tears couldn't help falling.

He hadn't seen his daughter for four years, and even thought that he would never see her again in his life. His heart was full of longing and self-blame.

Hal did not disturb Jiude's emotional fluctuations, but turned to look at the surprised Mavis.

"How powerful, Hal! You are so powerful. You didn't let me see this kind of power when we were at the bottom of the sea!" Mavis was excited.

"What should I show you?" Hal looked at her helplessly, "It was useless at that time."

"That's right." Mavis nodded thoughtfully.

Ignoring Mavis's occasional disconnection, Hal turned his eyes to Jiude in front of him again, and his voice was full of the majesty of the emperor.

"Jiude, I need you to help me control and develop the economy of the empire.

In return, I can restore your former status and even let you go further."

"Your Majesty, this..." Jiude was shocked and couldn't believe what he heard.

Hal's eyes were steady and his tone was firm: "Or, if you want to see your future grandchild or granddaughter born, I can help you."

After hearing this, Jiude no longer hesitated and immediately bowed: "I, your servant Jiude, am willing to serve your majesty!"

"Very good." Hal nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he ordered loudly: "Come! Pass the order to appoint Jiude Heartfilia as the new Minister of Finance of the Empire!"

——

Jiude quickly withdrew and prepared to take over the new job.

For him, as long as he could see his daughter Lucy again, he was willing to give up everything he had now.

What's more, Hal's request was exactly what he dreamed of.

In the hall, Mavis was complaining softly, and her little hair was turning around, looking dissatisfied.

"What about me, what about me, Hal, the big liar!"

"Ah?" Hal didn't react for a moment, and then laughed: "So anxious, Mavis~"

"What are you talking about! I'm not anxious!" Mavis pouted and glared at him dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, your official position is very important, I will summon the ministers to make a formal announcement." Hal comforted her helplessly.

"Huh~ That's better, hehe~" Mavis's expression quickly became happy, and the speed made Hal feel ashamed.

Three days later, Cat Brother, Jellal, Ultear and others returned triumphantly on the black battleship to the Persko Imperial Capital.

The people of the imperial capital were boiling, and they rushed to the streets to welcome them.

This was the biggest victory of the Persco Empire in recent decades. Neighboring countries surrendered one after another, and Persco's territory expanded to the area of ​​three Fiore Kingdoms.

The whole country celebrated, and the atmosphere was extremely grand.

Jellal wore blue armor, and the white and blue cape fluttered behind him. He walked on the red carpet, and the people cheered one after another.

"I didn't expect that one day I would enjoy so much love." Jellal's eyes flashed with emotion.

"Humph, thank Hal, little brother Jellal." Brother Cat raised his head and walked with confidence, looking at the group of cats in front of him.

"Lady Ultear is so beautiful!"

"Lady Jellal is so handsome!"

"Our cat minister is still the most confident, look at his steps!" The cats squatted on the shoulders of the crowd or flew over their heads, talking proudly.

The six demon generals followed the two people and the cat and walked in the middle of the team, their eyes full of enjoyment and joy.

"Perhaps, I'm beginning to like this feeling - the feeling of seeking happiness for others." Laser raised his hands high, intoxicated by the cheers.

"Yes, but the ones who deserve this love the most are the imperial soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front lines." Cobra suddenly said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, the others were rarelyWithout refutation, a complicated look appeared on his face.

"Perhaps, we need to report this to His Majesty." Midnight's eyes became deep.

Behind them.

Thousands of imperial magic guards followed them in an orderly manner, and the murderous atmosphere filled the surroundings, making the people both proud and awed.
