All 39 Togepi of Togepi Paradise had appeared here. These Togepi were all enveloped in the light of Safeguard, floating in the air and surrounding Togekiss. However, rather than saying they were worshiping Togekiss, it would be more accurate to say they were worshiping the power Togekiss had obtained.
The power of Togepi Paradise had been sealed away for too long, and this place had long since lost its former radiance. Now, the sealed power had been awakened once more, and most of the awakened power had gathered on Togekiss. This change made these Togepi feel as though they had seen hope.
In their eyes, this member of their own kind was precisely the savior who had come to save them and save Togepi Paradise.
Most importantly, from Togekiss, they truly felt a supreme power that had an enormous influence and pressure on them. Besides that, Togepi Paradise had not given birth to a Togekiss in a very, very long time. The appearance of Togekiss also held an extraordinary meaning for Togepi Paradise.
"Things are developing in an interesting direction..."
Terrance ground his teeth, thinking of how he should deal with the current situation.
He glanced at the dumbfounded Princess Sara beside him and pondered inwardly, "If Mirage Kingdom and Togepi Paradise are one and the same, then if the royal family learned of these Togepi's attitude toward Togekiss, what would they think?"
"The secrets here simply can't be investigated clearly in a short time..."
Terrance felt very conflicted, while at this moment, Princess Sara's heart was filled with shock.
Thirty-nine Togepi, and every one of them was a Togepi living inside Togepi Paradise. This had truly startled Princess Sara. Aside from standing there in a daze, she was now looking at Togekiss with an extremely complicated gaze.
"Togepi Paradise got affected by the outside world and became incomparably desolate. Every Togepi also became extremely weak. This should be the reason why not a single Togepi left Togepi Paradise to go to the outside world and help the royal family inherit the throne..."
"So what should I do next..." Princess Sara raised her head and looked at those Togepi. Thinking of the royal family's current situation, she grew anxious.
Colonel Hansen had already developed treasonous intentions, the king's position was weak, and the power of Togepi Paradise might be the only way to crush Colonel Hansen's ambitions. However, an unexpected change had now appeared.
Princess Sara pulled her gaze away from the Togepi and looked at Terrance, who had come back to his senses, and said: "Sir... I have yet to ask your name."
"Just call me Terrance," Terrance said.
"Mr. Terrance, these Togepi all seem to be very respectful toward your Togekiss. You know the situation Mirage Kingdom is in, so I would like to ask you for a favor."
"As thanks..."
"As thanks, I can promise you a noble title, Mr. Terrance."
Princess Sara nervously said these words. She, who had yet to inherit the throne, had no qualification at all to promise someone a noble title. However, the situation was urgent now, and she believed her father would definitely understand her.
Right now, the most important thing was to seize the time to gain the recognition of a paradise Togepi and inherit the throne according to tradition.
At this moment, Terrance seemed not to have heard Princess Sara's words and did not immediately answer. Just now, he had suddenly received Altaria's report.
The power of Fairy Aura had not permanently awakened the power of Togepi Paradise. It had only temporarily caused part of its power to surge out through stimulation. To completely unseal the long-sealed power seemed difficult to accomplish through ordinary means.
What made Terrance hesitate the most was that he had received definite information from Altaria: the power sealed beneath Togepi Paradise was incomparably vast, more terrifying than imagined, almost no less than a destructive weapon. If it fully erupted, it could almost destroy this kingdom in an instant. This was only a conservative guess. As for the worst possible outcome, Terrance could not judge it for the time being.
"Just what kind of existence is this Togepi Paradise? Why are the records in the ancient texts not detailed?"
While guessing inwardly, Terrance answered Princess Sara's inquiry, already having a plan in mind.
"Princess Sara, you've misunderstood. I have no connection with these Togepi. If you can gain their recognition, I won't obstruct you," Terrance said.
"You are the princess of Mirage Kingdom. Rather than asking me, why don't you ask the Togepi?"
As Terrance finished speaking, Princess Sara looked at him, then slowly nodded.
Those words... Princess Sara could tell that Terrance had no intention of claiming these Togepi for himself, and that made Princess Sara breathe a sigh of relief.
As the heir of Mirage Kingdom, Princess Sara was seen by the people as an elegant, gentle, and sensible person. However, she had one bad habit: she liked thinking about others far too much.
However, this bad habit could also be seen as proof of her kind heart. Now, this trait had become precisely the reason the Togepi recognized Princess Sara.
The Togepi family had an innate habit of pursuing people with pure hearts. At this moment, when Princess Sara stepped forward and loudly made her request, the attention of these Togepi was immediately drawn to her.
"Everyone of Togepi Paradise, right now, there are people in Mirage Kingdom harboring evil intentions. I believe you have already sensed it. Their wicked hearts have already affected this place. I am Sara, the eldest princess of Mirage Kingdom and the future heir of the kingdom. I would like to ask you to lend me your strength, so that the kingdom and the paradise can be restored to their original peace. Please help me, everyone."
As Sara made her request, the Togepi looked at one another. In the sky, Togekiss also heard Princess Sara's words. Its eyes quickly shifted twice, as if it were plotting some bad idea. While the corner of Terrance's mouth twitched, this fellow suddenly released goodwill toward Princess Sara.
Following Togekiss's stance, a tiny Togepi slowly came to Princess Sara's side and rubbed its body against her leg, indicating that it was willing to follow her.
"Togepi... you..." Seeing that a Togepi was willing to follow her, Princess Sara immediately revealed a joyful expression.
As long as she had Togepi's help, then perhaps next, she would be able to shatter Colonel Hansen's ambition.

At the same time, Ash's group also met Misty, who had come from Kanto, not far from Mirage Kingdom.
Ever since Ash finished challenging the Silver Conference, Misty had left the group, and Norman's two children, May and Max, had joined in her place. Now, meeting again in the Hoenn region, Ash's group and Misty chatted happily.
"Look!"
Misty waved the invitation in her hand, revealing a smug expression. "It invites Trainers who have Togepi to attend a banquet, and it even allows them to bring friends. If it weren't for me, Ash, you wouldn't have had such good luck."
"Tch, Togepi was originally picked up by me." Ash glanced at the Togepi in Misty's arms and said helplessly.
The so-called banquet for Togepi Trainers was actually something fabricated by the Team Rocket trio. Their goal was to steal Misty's Togepi and use it to negotiate a big deal with their client.
In the shadows, after seeing Misty appear, the Team Rocket trio immediately revealed expressions of a successful scheme.
"That Colonel Hansen from Mirage Kingdom is offering a high price for Togepi. With this money, we'll be able to establish a Team Rocket branch base in the Hoenn region. It feels absolutely fantastic."
