-------------------------------

In the Marquis’s mansion at the heart of the Wind City.

With the return of Marchioness Aurora and the slightly helpless Yumo, the mansion, which had been immersed in a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere, suddenly burst into life.

Seeing the pink-haired girl, delicate and shyly holding the hand of the Marchioness, the servants and guards in the mansion couldn’t help but reveal shocked and delighted expressions,

Is that, the young miss?

The young miss has been found?! That’s, that’s great!

Realizing this, Old Butler Audite, who had been waiting for the return of the Marchioness, was immediately moved to tears. He hurriedly rushed towards Aurora,

"Madam! Miss Yuan, the young miss, you found her?...? Huh? No? You, you are!!"

However, before he could finish speaking,

As Audite approached the pink-haired girl, the old Butler suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with nothing but shock.

The timid demeanor, different from Miss Yuan’s, instantly brought a surprising guess to the old Butler’s mind.

"Miss Xia, Xia’er?!"

As soon as the words fell, the highly agitated Audite couldn’t help but fall to his knees in front of Yumo, causing the latter to be taken aback,

"Young Miss, you’ve finally returned!"

Audite repeatedly wiped away his tears, his emotions indescribable. After all, it was his negligence that had led to Miss Xia’er’s disappearance, and she had been missing ever since.

This incident had been haunting him like a nightmare,

Now, seeing that Miss Xia’er had returned to her family unharmed, how could he, as an old Butler, not be excited? A huge mountain within his heart was suddenly shattered at this moment...

In his emotional state, Audite even wanted to hug the petite girl.

However, at this moment, Aurora slowly raised her hand to stop the crying old Butler,

"Audite, you’ll scare her."

Hearing this,

Audite also realized his mistake. After wiping away his tears with a handkerchief, Audite quickly got up and respectfully bowed to the pink-haired girl,

"Welcome back, Miss Xia’er."

"..."

Facing Audite’s greeting, the pink-haired girl did not respond but silently lowered her head.

Huh?

This scene made Audite frown,

Although Miss Xia’er used to be timid, she wouldn’t be so cowering when dealing with acquaintances, right?

Subsequently, the old Butler looked at Aurora with confusion,

"Madam, what is, what is this?"

"It’s a bit complicated to explain. For now, take the child to have a bath and change into some clean clothes."

"Alright, I understand, Madam."

Audite respectfully nodded in response,

"Well, Miss Xia’er, please come with me."

Audite showed Yumo a kind smile,

At the same time,

Aurora next to them slowly squatted down, patted Yumo’s shoulder, and said,

"It’s okay, Xia’er, this old grandpa is not a bad person. He will find a maid to take you to have a bath and change into a beautiful set of clothes."

"..."

Yumo, with her complicated emotions, still did not respond.

However, under the extremely sorrowful persuasion of Aurora, the pink-haired girl slowly raised her hand and grasped Audite’s calloused hand.

Upon holding the hand of his young miss and feeling the warmth in the girl’s hand, a strong sense of regained emotion suddenly emerged in Audite’s heart, making him struggle to resist the urge to burst into tears.

"Please follow me, Miss."

Saying this,

Audite led Yumo by the hand and walked slowly into the Marquis’ mansion.

Seeing that Yumo did not resist and did not develop too much resistance, Aurora couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and showed a gratified look. When Yumo and Audite had completely disappeared from her sight, the Marchioness suddenly revealed a serious mood,

And slowly turned around, looking at the White Knight who had just returned behind her,

"How did the investigation go?"

Aurora’s voice was full of authority,

"The investigation is done, Madam."

The knight behind her said somewhat awkwardly,

After confirming that there was no one around, the knight walked cautiously to Aurora’s side and said cautiously,

"As for Miss Xia’er, she was brought to the Wind City by the people of the Black Rose family along with the Chosen Maiden. It is said that she was rescued by the Chosen Maiden."

"Rescued?"

Hearing this word, Aurora’s face changed abruptly, and she quickly asked anxiously,

"What do you mean by rescued?"

"Well, that is,"

"Just say it."

"Yes, Madam. According to the people of the Asumos Church, Miss Xia’er was rescued by them from a slave trader..."

"What?!"

Upon hearing the knight’s words, Aurora’s face changed drastically, and she couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly,

"My Xia’er, she, she, she became a slave?!"

...

Meanwhile,

In the guesthouse,

After hearing what the priestess had said, Mengxi’s brow furrowed involuntarily,

"You said that girl was taken away by the people of the Marquis’s family?"

The silver-haired girl couldn’t help but feel bewildered,

"And it was the Marchioness, what’s going on?"

Hearing this,

The blonde priestess also sighed helplessly,

"According to the words of the Marquis’ servant just now, that little sister is the long-lost daughter of the Marquis family. Therefore, the Marchioness was so excited to take her straight back..."

"What? That lowly slave girl is actually the daughter of a Marquis? What’s going on? How could the daughter of the Marquis’s family become a slave?!"

After listening to the priestess’s words, Cabane couldn’t help but exclaim,

However,

As soon as his words left his mouth, Mengxi’s sharp gaze locked onto Cabane, causing him to shudder and quickly close his mouth.

Then,

Mengxi retracted the murderous aura on her face and looked at the priestess as if seeking confirmation.

"Are you sure he said that Xiaomo is the daughter of the Marquis family?"

"Yes, Miss Mengxi. She is said to be the daughter of the Marquis family who disappeared four years ago. Additionally, they are very grateful to you for saving their young miss."

"How strange..."

Upon hearing this, Miss Mengxi couldn’t help but feel puzzled as she sat back down on the sofa, rubbing her temples.

Her emotions were a bit complex,

On one hand, she felt relieved. At first, she thought that Yumo, or rather, Xiaomo, had decided to sneak away after confirming her own awakening.

If that was truly the case, there would have been nothing she could do. Fortunately, Xiaomo didn’t really want to leave. This inevitably made Mengxi feel like a weight had been lifted.

Of course, apart from feeling relieved, Mengxi felt mostly confused. The silver-haired girl was already immersed in her perplexed emotions.

Others may not know, but how could Mengxi not be aware?

Her sister Yumo was a demon king!

A demon king level existence!

How could she have possibly become the daughter of a Marquis family out of the blue? What the hell was going on?

Could it be that she had some special plan and intentionally infiltrated the Marquis family?

However,

From their previous interactions, she didn’t seem to be that clever...

Mengxi pouted in confusion.

Wait a minute?

Was sister Yumo that knowledgeable about human nature? Perhaps she really was a demon king-level existence transformed from a human?

Could it be possible that she really was the missing daughter of the Marquis family? And that the pink-haired girl was her true appearance?

Speaking of which,

When she had pretended to be a child and acted cute, she had asked her about related matters. However, Yumo seemed to have been hiding something about her true self...

’Could this be the reason?!’

"Aaaaah!"

I don’t understand!

Mengxi couldn’t help but shake her head frantically, trying to calm her wildly speculating mind.

As Mengxi struggled, the priestess beside her looked at her with confusion,

"Miss Mengxi, are you planning to take that girl back to the Asumos Church?"

Hmm?

Hearing this question, Mengxi’s light purple eyes narrowed slightly,

"Why ask that all of a sudden?"

"Miss Mengxi, if the girl really is the daughter of the Marquis, taking her back to the Church might be quite impossible."

"Hmm?"

"Well, you know, the people of the Snow Night Empire have always been cold towards our Asumos Church and even harbor some hostility. The Marquis is unlikely to let you take his daughter away, and besides..."

"Besides what?"

"Besides, I heard that the Snow Night Empire’s royal family has asked for the Marquis family’s daughter to go to the imperial capital, to be some kind of crown princess candidate. If that girl really is the Marquis’ daughter, she will probably have to go to the imperial capital..."

Recalling the information, she had seen before, the priestess spoke slowly,

After hearing this, Mengxi’s eyes narrowed abruptly, and a dangerous aura gradually emanated from her.

"You, what did you say? Crown prince?!"

Damn it,

It was that harem guy again!

Already not having a good impression of Xue Tianao, Mengxi’s dislike for him instantly escalated at this moment~
