Chapter 672: Chapter 275: When entering the alley there were 8 legs, upon exiting there were 10 legs_3

Her mother was pure as ice and jade, Austin was a loyal servant to his lord; there was no scandal between the queen and her subject, she was the creation of her parents’ joint efforts.

"Don’t be sad, it really doesn’t affect your succession."

Wayne had a knack for stirring the pot and said empathetically, "My Princess, I know having a scumbag for a father is hard to accept, just like Veronica and I have trouble coming to terms with it. But looking on the bright side, he is the Dark Knight. What can your brother Edward possibly do to contest the throne with you? The Dark Knight took care of him that very night."

Juno: "..."

What? You’re also Austin’s child? Is the rumor true?

"Wayne, shut up, I don’t want to hear this." Hefei’s neck was sore. Her head was too heavy.

"Mm, I’ll stop talking."

Wayne didn’t know what the relationship between Austin and the Queen was. By putting himself in their shoes, he was convinced they had an affair and felt completely justified in spreading the rumors, giving Princess Elizabeth a new father.

Anyway, it wasn’t his bad luck.

Elsewhere, Megan had finished evolving and quickly put on a robe. Her body moved uncontrollably and she skillfully caught up with Austin.

She was used to it.

By the time Austin was brought back, Juno had already accepted the new narrative, and gritted her teeth, "Father, you can’t kill me."

Austin felt completely numb and tried desperately to explain, swearing up and down that he had no affair with the Queen, but Juno kept calling him "father," and actions spoke louder than words. He was sent flying by Hefei once again.

"Bastard, she’s calling you father! How can you be so cold-hearted?"

Hefei was furious, coming up with all sorts of reasons to dismiss Austin on the spot. She didn’t care if they were true or false; any reason was a good one. It gave Veronica, standing by her side, a lot of food for thought. She quietly told herself she had learned something new.

Besides, the previous generation was not pure and innocent either; their relationships were even more entangled than hers.

Comparing situations made her feel a lot better emotionally.

The scene shifts.

Austin, with a grim face, said to Juno, "Princess, I know you’re only calling me ’father’ to save your own life..."

"That’s recognizing a thief as your father," Wayne whispered under his breath.

Hefei and Veronica nodded in agreement. Austin pretended not to hear and continued, "The Lando Family is endlessly loyal to the Royal Family. Whether it’s me or Wayne, we’re both extremely devoted to the Queen. I can vouch for Wayne; he won’t kill you. But..."

Please, no more ’buts.’

You two are indeed father and son, speaking in the same tone.

Juno inwardly groaned, waiting for Austin to continue. Dark Knight + Death Knight; she truly couldn’t resist them.

"But I don’t trust Celeste. He’s definitely got other plans. To protect my family, I’m afraid the princess and Celeste will have to disappear for a while."

Austin frowned deeply: "Rest assured. It’s just a vacation to the villa. After some time, once I resolve the troubles, I will certainly let you both leave safely."

As he spoke, Austin gave Wayne a meaningful look.

Austin: These two, take them for experimentation. Celeste can die, but the princess absolutely must not. You have to ensure her life is safe.

Wayne: Really? She’s your daughter. You know how the experiments end up. It’ll be tough for her to maintain her sense of self.

Austin: First, she’s not my daughter. Second, she knows too much. Keeping her around is a risk.

Wayne: Okay, I’ll do my best to help her retain her sense of self. After all, without her to carry messages, the mentor and Veronica would be in danger.

Austin: Just do what you have to do.

Through eye contact, Wayne then confirmed that Elizabeth and Austin had no blood relation.

Witnessing the unspoken communication between father and son, Celeste’s sense of crisis shot through the roof. As a Legendary Mage, he had experienced every type of situation and could tell at a glance that the father and son duo had ulterior motives.

The princess would not be harmed due to their father-daughter relationship; at worst, she would be imprisoned for some time. But his case was different. He was not Austin’s illicit child.

He had to find a way to escape. Staying meant a certain death!

The Legendary Mage didn’t want to leave his life in the hands of Austin and his son. The Dark Knight, the Death Knight—these two guys were up to no good. Trusting them was signing one’s own death warrant.

Celeste put on a resigned face and shook his head in despair, verbally agreeing and voluntarily dismantling the Spatial Barrier, leading everyone back to the alley behind the theater’s back door.

As Celeste was scanning his surroundings, suddenly multiple tentacles entangled his limbs. The sudden attack bypassed the Legendary Mage’s keen senses. By the time Celeste came to his senses, all he saw was a mass covered in Yellow Clothes throwing itself at him.

Gurgle gurgle!

Upon Wayne’s command, the Pale Nest immediately took control of Celeste—a simple and brute method: embrace, confide, understand, coexist, merge, commonly known as swallowing whole!

Watching in despair as her mentor was swallowed by the Tentacle Monster, Juno cried out, "Father, you promised me."

"My Princess, rest assured. This is treatment only for a Legendary Mage. Your status is far from warranting such grand treatment." Wayne gestured into the darkness, and Mona opened her eyes, radiating a sacred golden light.

"Mona, take Knight Juno back. Don’t listen to her excuses on the way. If she tries to run, just kill her."

"Understood."

Mona pressed down on Juno’s shoulder and left together with the Pale Nest dressed in Yellow Clothes.

Their obedient demeanor made both Hefei and Veronica frown. They were reminded of a social trash of a previous generation; Mona was almost a clone of Megan.

What feelings did she harbor for Wayne? Was it also a protective love? x2

Hefei thought about it and decided to drop the side plot since it didn’t affect her directly, especially since her own situation was messy enough already.

Veronica couldn’t let it go; for her, it was the main storyline.
