I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 38: Estella


In the Kingdom of Moncalleta, renowned worldwide for its justice and civilization, located a thousand miles away, one of the strongest countries in the Dao Yuan Eastern Continent, vast and resource-rich, is a nation blessed by the Earth Mother Goddess "Lisanna Luo," holding the authority of life's creation. Ola the Eighteenth, known for his rigorous and fair governance, is the king, reputed never to have smiled in public since ascending the throne, dedicating himself to the kingdom.

His Majesty the King has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Hokele Ola, follows Ola the Eighteenth in administrating state affairs with orderliness, has led troops in several localized wars, demonstrating outstanding leadership capabilities, being mature and stable in character, virtuous and talented, making his name known far and wide.

The second son, Achilles Ola, was favored by Yela Holy Land six years ago, allowing him to enter the Holy Hall blessed by the Supreme God for cultivation, which is an utmost honor.

Yela Holy Land is the sacred site of the Dao Yuan Eastern Continent, reputed to be a place where the will of the Supreme God has descended. The Supreme God has no Church Court; the god and all worldly things are her children. The Holy Hall within the sacred site, when recruiting disciples, does not change their original beliefs and provides the best guidance, which is the origin of the Holy Land's name, yet those chosen are extremely few.

The only daughter, Estella, is also the jewel of the kingdom, a natural Divine Favored. The three siblings were all born to Queen Kelly, the only queen of Ola the Eighteenth. The couple's love remains as initially, and the kingdom is prosperous and strong, with firm faith.

Sunshine illuminates the palace's back garden, where a young girl with a garland of five-colored flowers on her head is playing the harp. The melodious music attracts more than ten colorful little birds to perch and listen. The girl's long golden hair draped over her shoulders shimmers with a faint glow, set off by her flawless white shoulders. Her slender jade fingers pluck the harp strings, her peerless beauty showing her concentration. Her long eyelashes gently flutter to the music, her sea-blue eyes clear and captivating. Her simple white dress embodies beauty that immerses anyone, with a snow-white long-haired cat quietly basking in the sun nearby.

This is Princess Estella of the Moncalleta Kingdom, possessing beauty surpassing even the former kingdom's top beauty, Queen Kelly, with her famed allure known across the kingdom, though very few have witnessed her heavenly visage.

Clap, clap, clap~~~

As the song ends, applause arises, and the surrounding maidservants lower their heads in salutation.

A bright and handsome young man bows, "Beautiful princess, your ode to spring has become magnificently refined."

Estella put down the harp, "Second brother, you still remember you have a sister?"

Achilles remains smiling, "Haven't I just returned? I must assess the results of these years so I can protect our most beautiful little princess."

The two have arrived at a pavilion filled with flowers, fruits, and fine wine, "Though you say so, I am a bit angry."

Since Achilles returned, he has only made a brief appearance and then disappeared, challenging around the royal capital. It wasn't until a recent battle where he was identified as the prince that he reluctantly returned.

On the Dao Yuan Continent, there is a rule: kings may not use Divine Relics. While Divine Relics can prolong life, kings who attempt their use will lose their life, face abandonment by the gods, and eventually forfeit the kingdom.

Therefore, Crown Prince Hokele, meant to inherit the throne, even possessing strong Spiritual Ability, may not use Divine Relics. However, Achilles and Estella have no such concerns, also providing protection for the royal authority. Before going to the Holy Hall, Achilles was said to be exceptionally talented and naturally could not be restrained upon returning.

The Ola bloodline is heavily favored and blessed by the Earth Mother Goddess, and they are her most devout believers. If the Li Long United Kingdom is considered a weak bastion of faith, with constant struggles between royal and imperial power, then the Kingdom of Moncalleta is the model of the unity of royal and imperial authority.

At this moment, a lazy round white cat leisurely walks to Estella's side, makes a vigorous jump... which looked rather undignified.

Estella picked up the cat, seemingly sensing Achilles' gaze, and the cat's jewel-like eyes glanced at him and then lay in Estella's arms, squinting its eyes.

"Keli, say hello."

Under the sunlight, the snow-white Kelly emitted a layer of soft golden light, incredibly beautiful, its blue-green eyes crystal clear as it looked at Achilles, its forelegs bent in a bowing gesture, before continuing to enjoy Estella's stroking.

"The little one is quite proud," Achilles said with a smile, "Where's Chris? Isn't she by your side?"

"It's Chris's free time now."

The Earth Mother Goddess favors the Ola bloodline, especially Estella. Chris has existed for a long time and chose Estella among the three royal siblings, which made Achilles and their elder brother jealous for quite some time.

"Estella, your harp skills are getting better. In the Holy Hall, I've yet to encounter anyone better than you. You could be a teacher," Achilles laughed.

"Second brother, that's not possible; there are always others out there," Estella shook her head. Previously, she was quite confident, but after yesterday, she realized there are many instruments and a vast world she does not know.

"Oh, is our princess this humble?" Achilles was somewhat surprised, not due to her status, but her being deeply favored, Estella indeed possesses extraordinary musical talents, and with the best court musicians' training, her level is indeed exceptional.

"Second brother, you've traveled far and wide and are knowledgeable. Where do you see yourself among young people?" Estella suddenly asked.

Achilles paused, "In literature, there's no first, in martial arts, there's no second. Among the major hidden sects, the five holy lands have many masters, but I'm certainly one of the strongest, with some competitors, each with victories and defeats. It's hard to say who's better, it still needs a comparison to know."

"Elder brother says you have the best talent in our kingdom, as long as you persist, the lowest level you'll reach is an angel."

Achilles chuckled bitterly, "Don't say that. I used to think so too, until... better not mention it. You're right, there's always someone better. It's a pity I once met someone; if he could enter the Holy Land, I dare not imagine."

```

"Oh, is there such a person? What's his name?" Estella was also very curious. She just mentioned it casually, as the bloodline favored by the Earth Mother Goddess is top-tier on the Dao Yuan Continent.

Achilles sighed, "He doesn't have a name, only a code name. Perhaps he's already dead."

"Second brother, everyone has their destiny. Who knows when we might meet him?" Estella clenched her fist, probably because she let go of Keli, prompting the cat to protest with a meow. As soon as her fair hand disappeared back into the snow-white fur, Keli immediately squinted her eyes and lazily settled down again.

Achilles nodded, "Haha, that was a long time ago. So many years have passed, and even if he's still around, he's not a match for me anymore. A high start isn't worth much; the children of our Earth Mother Goddess have high growth potential."

Estella smiled sweetly, and instantly, the flowers in the garden lost their color, "Second brother, this is the first time I've heard you compare growth potential with someone else. That person must be outstanding, I'm curious now."

"Cough, cough, what are you saying? Your second brother is the best, followed by our eldest brother. To gain your favor, one must first get past us!"

"Second brother, what are you talking about!"

"Oh, are you shy? I heard that Mother has been inquiring among the nobility about eligible young talents lately…" Achilles said with a laugh.

"When it comes to being anxious, surely it's you who's anxious, right? The dream lover of thousands of young girls in the kingdom, the dashing and suave Prince Achilles…"

"Who, who said that? This is blatant slander. I'm cooped up training for combat all day, they must have seen my elder brother," Achilles' face tensed, "Don't tell Mother."

"Second brother, the Holy Land seems pretty fun," Estella winked cunningly.

Achilles looked at Estella, showing a troubled expression, "You wouldn't…"

"Actually, I don't know anything. Doesn't Second brother want to show me his heroic side?" Estella said.

Achilles helplessly held his forehead, "You're pushing your big brother into the fire pit. This sort of thing should be asked of our elder brother, he's thick-skinned."

"I already asked, but elder brother can't handle it. Since you just returned, Father and Mother shouldn't be too harsh," Estella stuck out her little tongue.

The integration of a Divine Relic is a precaution against the invasion of Extraordinary Power while also extending lifespan. The Ola Royal Family's understanding of Divine Relics is exceptional. The royal family and the Earth Mother Goddess Court carefully selected a Divine Relic compatible with Estella, aiming for one of noble safety, and rarely using magic potions.

The King and Queen have forbidden Estella from entering the Holy Land.

Unable to resist Estella's requests, Hokele took Estella there once, and he suffered for it. Since then, Hokele has been staying far away from Estella.

He can't withstand Estella's requests, nor can he withstand Father's whip.

Elder brother can't be counted on, now only Second brother is left.

"Maybe let's forget it, how about a different condition?" Achilles felt troubled. He's also a problem child, having just been scolded by Mother. If he takes his sister to the Holy Land again, he feels he'll be grounded.

"Take me out of the palace?" Estella offered a different request.

"What? The Holy Land then, just once, I can only endure it once!" Achilles chuckled bitterly. He wasn't ready to die yet.

Estella smiled sweetly, her captivating eyes sparkling with excitement, "Just once. Is your Holy Land terrifying and thrilling?"

Achilles felt a bit anxious, not knowing what this little girl was planning. May the Earth Mother Goddess bless him, don't let there be any mishaps.

Normally, integrating a Divine Relic should have happened long ago, but the Ola Royal Family doesn't rush it. The Earth Mother Goddess's care for this bloodline is profound, and the side effects of integrating the Earth Mother Goddess's Divine Relic are minimal. They aren't even in a hurry to activate the Life Star, as they wish to avoid over-reliance on the capabilities of a Divine Relic, allowing ample time to develop an understanding of Spiritual Ability. The Holy Hall shares this belief, and actually, most royal families and church elites hold this understanding.

Time is forgiving for them.

The nature of the Ola bloodline is as calm as the Earth Mother Goddess, and someone like Princess Estella is even more special. She doesn't need to venture into the Holy Land to activate her Life Star. The royal family and the Church Court have long paved the way for her.

Though she lacks nothing, she's like a caged canary, with no adventures or freedom. Once, during a prayer to the Earth Mother Goddess, she prayed for the chance to experience a different life, and later, she sensed the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc, thanking the Mother Goddess for her blessing.

With the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc, although her body cannot leave the royal palace, her soul can be free, allowing her to explore the world outside on her own, rather than hearing about it from others, and to make new and interesting friends.

Thinking of this, Estella couldn't help but smile. The proud Mr. Cancer, more so than any girl; the well-experienced and steady Mr. Taurus; and Mr. Gemini, who seems ordinary yet is very knowledgeable—who else will she meet next…
