Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 707

It was a legend.

Once something was labeled a legend, countless versions of the story would begin to emerge. The map was one, and so was the island.

According to rumors, long ago, a sailor accidentally stumbled upon the island during a voyage. There, he saw mountains of gold, endless treasures, and a vast collection of rare herbs and plants.

When he left the island, he secretly marked its location, planning to return with a larger crew and ships to claim the wealth.

But when he came back, the sea was calm, and the island was nowhere to be found.

Unwilling to accept defeat, he meticulously searched the coordinates he had written down, yet the island remained hidden. Obsessed, he spent years patrolling the area, refusing to give up. Then, by sheer coincidence, during an unusual celestial event combined with a shift in the tides, the island reappeared.

However, too many years had gone by, and the sailor was too weak to set foot on it again. So, he documented the location on a map, hoping his descendants could one day claim the vast wealth.

Unfortunately, news of the map and the legend was leaked, spreading far and wide. From that moment on, droves of people set out to find the island, generation after generation.

Regardless, none ever succeeded.

"And then?" Felicia asked.

"My father went looking for it too. I was very young at the time." Stephan absentmindedly played with a strand of her hair as he spoke. "My mother was gravely ill. She had seen many highly regarded medical masters, but in the end, it was Mr. Walsh Senior who told us there was a rare herb that could cure her."

Felicia listened intently, surprised to hear that her maternal grandfather had been involved in this part of Stephan's past.

"And then?" she prompted.
