Outsiders can hardly imagine the reverence Immolus Star System’s citizens have for their lords. The three thousand-year interstellar history is the history of the Fu Family protecting the Immolus Star System with their blood and life. To them, support for the Royal Family might be optional, but losing the Fu Family would be unthinkable.
Dean felt an indescribable pride.
Before coming here, his feelings were conflicted, mingling pride with anxiety. Although he knew that the news on the Star Network should not be taken at face value, he was still influenced by it.
Even if what the Star Network said was false, the very fact that the Duchess hailed from a remote planet and was the daughter of a farmer, did not, in his opinion, make her worthy of their Duke, who was perfect and divine in their eyes.
After meeting her in person, Dean couldn’t say he was disappointed, but he also didn’t feel the slightest bit of surprise, let alone satisfaction.
Because Lin Fu’s beauty did not pale in comparison to the most stunning beauties of the interstellar era.
But mere beauty was not enough.
However, the two months of following her changed his mind completely, and he admired her from the bottom of his heart. Beauty could please others, but only perseverance and extraordinary talent could truly win people over.
Although Instructor Omnia had been constantly undermining Lin Fu, Dean was not as lacking in common sense as Lin Fu. He had seen with his own eyes Lin Fu’s progress and knew how significant it was.
Now, he was most curious about Lin Fu’s combat ability.
After all, individual combat strength is most important in land battles and extreme landing is just the basics. Since the instructor had saved the most difficult training for last, it showed even more confidence.
"Okay, then just call me by my name."
"Is that...are you sure?" Dean looked flustered and surprised.
"There’s nothing wrong with that. Everyone calls me that, so don’t make too much of it." Lin Fu waved her hand nonchalantly, "By the way, what are you going to do with all the training videos you’ve taken of me?"
"I have sent them all to the butler. The subsequent promotion isn’t my responsibility."
When Lin Fu heard they had been sent to the butler, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness they weren’t sent directly to Fu Xing; she didn’t want him to see her in such a disheveled state.
Since she had promised Dean she would wear nice clothes to sleep, she might as well cooperate actively.
"Come on, I’ll take you to see my luggage. There should be a lot of clothes in there."
Dean wanted to refuse, fearing that a suitcase full of combat suits might affect his sense of aesthetics. Having followed her for two months, he had not seen Lin Fu change into any other style of clothing; the combat suit was always the same design.
But this was an invitation from the Duchess, would it be rude to refuse?
After hesitating, Dean followed her to Lin Fu’s tent.
As the huge suitcase opened, Dean’s eyes lit up and his breath quickened, "This...oh my! Are all these clothes yours?"
Lin Fu took out the clothes and displayed them joyfully, "Some of these I selected myself, they’re not expensive. Most were purchased by the butler, he has a good eye, very tasteful indeed."
"More than just tasteful." Dean reverently picked up a long dress with wide sleeves, a narrow waist, and embroidered hems, astounded by the exquisite and unique embroidery.
"Hasn’t this craft become extinct? How is it still around? Wait, this piece, it’s made of silk? My God! Since the beginning of the interstellar era, silkworms have gone extinct for not adapting to new environments, and here I am, seeing silk products again, in the form of a dress."
