Chapter 297 Adele

Although Adele herself expressed resistance to the Duke, she still allowed Song Yufeng to help her establish a communication channel with the Duke of Windermere.

"Does Mr. Song know why the Duke of Windermere wants to contact me?"

“I don’t know. I was just repaying her for what she did to avoid owing her a favor in the future, so I didn’t ask too many questions. Actually, I don’t know much about the upper echelons of Victoria,” Song Yufeng said. “However, since it was Duke Windermere who specifically requested to contact you, and not Clovisia, there must be some hidden reason…”

Song Yufeng felt it was very likely related to the duke behind Adele and Adele's own identity.

"The Duke of Windermere contacted me simply because he was after the people behind me... Mr. Song, you've been fighting in Yanwu for so long, what is the purpose of everything you've done?" Adele suddenly asked.

"For...for an ideal."

“Then, there must be times when you face setbacks, right? There must be times when you have to compromise and give up your ideals because of reality, right?” Adele said with a wry smile.

“Yes, but…” Song Yufeng suddenly said seriously, “Even if I compromise temporarily, I will never forget my ideals. I will seek opportunities in compromise, endure setbacks, strengthen my wings on my own, and wait for the wind to rise soaring to great heights.”

Is there a chance?

"Yes, all you need is one chance, but only if your passion hasn't faded, your faith hasn't crumbled, and your ideals haven't dissipated. If you give up on yourself, then no matter how many opportunities you have, it won't be of any use, and you'll only become a puppet."

When Song Yufeng mentioned the word "puppet," he noticed that Adele clenched her fist.

Adele must have been unwilling to accept this.

The Cumberland family values ​​honor above all else, yet they've become puppets of the Duke behind the scenes. How could she possibly accept this?

Although Song Yufeng did not know Adele's ideals, he could rekindle the passion that Adele once had in her heart.

"I know of a general who fought on the battlefield for the country. Although he was defeated many times, he never gave up his ideals. In the end, he seized the opportunity, defeated the enemy army in one fell swoop, and fulfilled his great revolutionary ideals. The world praised him and called him the Father of the Nation."

"Which country's founding father is this? Is he from a storybook?" Adele asked, somewhat puzzled.

“You can think that way, but based on my own experience, it is entirely possible for it to become a reality.”

Adele paused for a moment, then the corners of her mouth finally turned up slightly.

"Thank you, Mr. Song, for talking to me."

"You're welcome. Oh, and by the way, Ms. Adele, let me give you one last piece of advice."

"What?"

"The gale swept across the land, and the roar of the lion calmed the storm, but the young lion still needs help. She needs her companions to help her rebuild the land ravaged by the storm," Song Yufeng said.

Adele paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"What are you saying... It sounds rather awkward." Then, Adele nodded seriously and said, "Thank you."

Song Yufeng left, hoping that Adele could recover quickly and become a valuable assistant to the King of Push if the war was won.

However, who exactly is the Duke behind Adele? Perhaps we should ask the Duke of Windermere.
