Big news!
Upon hearing this explosive news, Lis''s mind instantly unfurled a tapestry of rich associations.
"So, you''re a princess of the Boditch Kingdom?"
Upon hearing Lis''s question, a bitter and deep resentment surfaced on Helen''s youthful face.
"No, I am merely an illegitimate daughter without a name or status."
"My existence is a mistake."
What do you mean?
Although Lis was eager to ask more, he held back and allowed Helen to continue speaking.
"My mother, M Evans, was actually a daughter of the Evans family in the Boditch Kingdom, about to marry Vasco Bertici, the Second Prince of the Boditch Kingdom."
"But the moment His Majesty the King saw my mother in the Royal Pce, he forced himself upon her."
"It was a scandal of the Royal Family, and under the oppression of his lordship, the marriage between my mother and the Second Prince naturally came to nothing."
While speaking, Helen''s lovely little face showed anger and pain beyond her years.
"Even after that incident, the King still wouldn''t let go of my mother, imprisoning her within the Royal Pce, and her own family, under pressure,pletely abandoned her."
"Then, I was born."
"My mother was very kind to me, though she disliked, or rather hated, the King for ruining her life."
"The only good news for my mother was that the King soon grew tired of her and I barely saw him after I was born."
"My mother and I could only live in that small house, and sometimes we didn''t even have enough to eat; yet even so, my mother did not abandon me and raised me."
"When I was old enough to understand, my mother told me all this, intending to send me out of the Royal Pce."
"Because she knew that if I kept living in the Royal Pce, sooner orter that scoundrel would target me."
Ha-ha~
These incredible words,ing from Helen''s mouth, are indeed hard to believe.
For the ruler of the Boditch Kingdom to be so fallen and reckless.
But Lis did not doubt the veracity of Helen''s words; frankly, the ruling ss of the Boditch Kingdom was just that corrupt, utterly devoid of morals.
His Majesty the King was particrly representative of this.
Lis knew many secrets from the tasks in his previous life''s game; the whole Boditch Kingdom was engulfed in such extreme corruption.
Otherwise, how could the Feis Kingdom have so easily stormed and seized the entire territory of the Boditch Kingdom, with almost no resistance from the civilians?
It''s just surprising that Helen also had such deep connections with the King of Boditch.
No wonder after Helen grew up, she relentlessly pursued and harshly dealt with the remnants of the Royal Family of the Boditch Kingdom.
"When I was ten, my mother took advantage of a dark night to quietly take me out of the Royal Pce and flee towards the outskirts of the Royal Capital."
"Why not return to your mother''s family?"@@novelbin@@
Lis asked, for a noblewoman who had been imprisoned for so long and was also with a child, the difficulty of fleeing seemed almost too great.
But it also showed the strength of Helen''s mother.
"I don''t know, my mother said those in her family were no better than the King. They had previously forced her to marry the Second Prince, so she really didn''t want to go back," Helen replied, her eyes filled with a dismal look.
"What happened next?"
"After that, my mother and I were taken in by a passing merchant caravan."
"And then we were sold to a ve merchant."
Helen''s voice trembled slightly, conjuring images of a deeply unbearable memory.
"My mother soon fell seriously ill and left me, I still remember the way she held my hand before she died."
After a moment of silence, Helen continued:
"That ve merchant said I was top quality, took me on a merchant ship, and was going to sell me to the south," she said.
"The ship was attacked by pirates, and I drifted at sea for two days before being rescued by a ship headed to Ward City."
"Once I arrived in Ward City, I secretly ran away."
Helen sinctly narrated her journey from the Boditch Kingdom to Ward City, one could imagine the perils and storms along the way.
Looking at her frail and small figure, one wouldn''t realize she had endured such painful experiences.
"That''s why I want to have power of my own, Lord Lis," she said.
Helen looked earnestly at Lis, her eyes filled with determination.

"If I were as strong as you, my mother wouldn''t have died, and I wouldn''t have suffered so much."
"When my mother died, although she couldn''t even speak, she still held my hand tightly and stared at me."
"I want to live on, to live well for my mother," she said.
"So I want to ask you to teach me!"
Helen bowed her head to Lis as she spoke earnestly.
Lis looked at the slightly trembling Helen and continued to ask:
"Why do you trust me so much, why should I teach you?"
"Because you are very strong, the strongest person I have ever seen."
"Most importantly, I believe that Lord Lis is a good person!"
Helen raised her head and looked at Lis, her attitude sincere.
Looking at Helen''s serious little face, Lis suddenly felt a bit reluctant to speak.
Please teach me, and yet you give me a good person card!
Can we proceed?
"I want to ask you to teach me, no matter what the cost!"
Seeing Lis''s hesitant expression, Helen spoke somewhat anxiously.
She had previously asked Basel about this matter, and Basel suggested she directly ask Lis for guidance.
After all, Lis''s strength was evident to all, and he was likely just as superior in teaching, stronger than anyone else on the ship.
"Alright."
Lis looked at Helen and finally nodded, teaching Helen to be a Transcendent truly was part of his n.
"Thank you for your generosity."
Opening her heart, Helen seemed mature, unlike a child of her age.
However, she must be about eleven or twelve years old by now, only her petite body made her look like a child who hadn''t grown yet.
"What profession do you want to choose?"
Lis asked Helen, his tone somewhat rxed.
In her past life, Helen''s Basic Profession before transitioning into a Sea Favored was that of a warrior, though Lis was not aware from where she had received the warrior''s legacy.
For Helen, the safest path was still that of a warrior.
"I want to be a warrior!"
Helen said earnestly, without much hesitation.
"Why?"
Lis was curious, considering he was a Mage, wouldn''t one normally choose the same profession if they intended to learn from him?
"At the ve merchant''s ce, he tested me for the talent to be a Mage, and it was very poor."
From Helen''s appearance, it seemed she had already made up her mind long ago.
"I heard from others that choosing the warrior profession to be a Transcendent is the easiest, so I want to be a warrior."
