Chapter 4063 I agreed to let him come to see me!
The empire's eldest princess, her eyes wide with rage, made no attempt to conceal her fury.

As the highest bloodline of the [Abriel] royal family, even if it is a clone, it is still a clone that can awaken the power of the royal bloodline!
In Princess Lucia's eyes, such Angelica dahurica was actually no different from that of true royalty.

The dignified Royal Family of Abriel, the symbol of the highest power in the Empire, how could they be reduced to servants of others... This is a blatant insult to the Royal Family of Abriel.

A thought flashed through her mind as the information about Bai Zhi and her group sent by the Secret Society instantly circulated within her.

In an instant, a name appeared in her mind—[Levi Titus]!
A divine son of a second-rate divine family on the magic side?

No… there might be someone else behind this [Levi Titus].

"Um...are you alright?"

This visit mainly focused on Bai Zhi, and Xia Ji didn't say a word throughout the entire visit—from her analytical perspective, the reason her master had her accompany him was probably just to ensure Bai Zhi's safety.

Although Princess Lucia showed great emotional fluctuations, she did not show hostility—the test results were within safe limits.

The princess let out a soft sigh; she clearly knew she had lost her composure.

“Tell me everything about your past, and Raphael’s past, without missing a single word.” Princess Lucia sneered. “Originally, I planned to wait for Raphael to arrive and ask her myself… Now, I want to see what you’ve been doing all these years!”

Bai Zhi pursed her lips.

Before leaving home today, she secretly went to see Boss Luo and asked what she could say after meeting Lucia... Boss Luo simply told her to say whatever she wanted, as long as she didn't reveal the plans of the pirate alliance.

"What, you don't want to talk about it?" Lucia frowned.

Bai Zhi glanced at Xia Ji beside her, shook her head, and then tentatively asked, "Um... do you have a lot of time?"

"What do you mean?" Princess Lucia frowned again.

Bai Zhi said cautiously, "Because the story might be a bit long, it will take a long time to tell..."

—I suddenly feel like I'm going crazy?
Princess Lucia sighed softly, waved her hand impatiently, signaling Bai Zhi to continue... As for Phyllis, she had originally planned to find some excuse to deliberately leave her hanging.

It is sufficient to let the outside world know that Phyllis, the fourth princess of Atlantis, stayed in the residence of the eldest princess of the Abriel Empire for a long time before leaving.

“Then I’ll tell you,” Bai Zhi said, organizing her thoughts. “I heard from [September] that…”

"Wait, who is September?" Lucia frowned.

"[September] is a domestic helper robot. When the planet exploded, it was [September] who escaped with the newborn Raphael..."

Lucia hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand again, signaling to continue.

Soon, the story of Raphael's past unfolded before Lucia like a picture book.

Passing through the void sidewalls...

Genetic defects...

Cloning therapy...

【Red King's Tomb】......

……

This narration took nearly two hours. Throughout the process, Princess Lucia rarely asked any questions, but listened and thought, and her expression gradually calmed down from the initial uncertainty.

The dimensions of time differ between different sides of the void, which is why Lucia didn't care that Raphael was lost in the [Mythological Side] for a long time.

[Mythological side] Immortality and eternal life can be achieved through cultivation; [Scientific side] Similarly, there are various technologies that can extend human lifespan.

"...Just because that person cured your genetic defect, you followed him?" Lucia tapped the table lightly. "That person is [Levi Titus]?"

"Uh...I guess so." Bai Zhi nodded gently.

The master's current identity is indeed [Levi Titus], so there shouldn't be any problem with saying that, right?

“Mm.” Lucia nodded.

According to the intelligence sent by the Secret Society, Levi Titus did indeed disappear for a period of time after leaving the Magical side.

So it makes sense that [Levi Titus] appeared in the [Mythology Side] during this period... But what would a god's son from a second-rate divine family in the [Magic Side] be doing in the [Mythology Side]?
As for [Xia Ji], she really angered Lucia!

In the distant mythological realm, a native mechanical master in a small world dared to skin the royal family of Abriel to create mechanical dolls!

Just this point alone is enough to erase this small world... But in the [mythological side], it's a bit troublesome, especially since, according to Bai Zhi's account, it seems to be the territory of the [Heavenly Court and Heavenly Palace].

……wrong.

Based on the combat power displayed by Xia Ji yesterday, not to mention that it is completely out of the style of the mythological side, how could a god's son from a second-rate god family of the magic side control her?
Could a master mechanic from a small world create such a thing?

“Bai Zhi, I’m asking you a question, and you must answer me honestly.” Lucia’s eyes held a stern expression. “This [Levi Titus], is he really [Levi Titus]?”

“...My master is now called [Levi Titus].

Lucia narrowed her eyes and suddenly sneered, "I now understand why your so-called master sent you here again today."

Bai Zhi couldn't help but blink curiously, and even Xia Ji's eyes flickered at this moment.

It's practically impossible to guess what your master is thinking, but this princess knows?

"What's the purpose?"

Lucia said calmly, "I agree. Go back and relay this [Levi Titus] to him. If Melon Fox finds out that you were just an accident, then bringing you here again is deliberate, just to get my attention, isn't it? I can grant his wish and see what he really wants."

"Ah, this..." Bai Zhi hurriedly said, "Um, Princess, you must have misunderstood something. My master didn't mean it that way. He just felt that we damaged your place and sent us to apologize... Oh right, this is an apology gift prepared by my master! Sister Xia Ji!"

Bai Zhi's gift consisted of cookies she had made herself early in the morning—she really didn't know what else to give, so she asked the host and said that the thought was what mattered.

What Xia Ji is carrying now is the gift prepared by the maid.

Soon, Xia Ji delivered the prepared gift.

Princess Lucia didn't even look at it, casually placing it aside, and said indifferently, "You've put in a good word for me. Considering that he did help you in the [Mythological Side], I can let it go. But the condition is that he must let you go... Of course, I won't treat him unfairly either, after all, he has also made a contribution."

Instantly, [Xia Ji]'s assessment of this princess rose from the safe line to the near-kill line—however, according to the [Shop's] principles, if it were a transaction, Lucia could indeed leave by [purchasing] her.

Therefore, it's only a near-kill line—unless it's forcibly taken.

Bai Zhi seemed to have thought of this as well, and her face instantly turned ugly. The thought of her master actually selling her made her small eyes redden. "Princess, please don't sell me? My master is very good to me, I really don't want to leave him..."

"Buy?" Lucia, who had calmed down, was enraged again upon hearing this. "You have awakened the royal spirit of [Abriel]. Regardless of whether you are a clone or not, you are already a princess of the [Abriel] royal family! The Empire will give you the best resources, which cannot be compared to the status of a maid! My mind is made up. Summon [Levi Titus] to see me! My words are orders! I want to see if he dares to name a price, even if I really want to buy you!"

"Waaah... I messed up, Sister Xia Ji, what should I do..." Bai Zhi could only turn to Xia Ji for help at this moment.

Xia Ji, however, remained absolutely rational and said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, I will convey your request to my master. As for whether or not to purchase us, please discuss it with our master in detail at that time."

"Hmph." Lucia waved her hand impatiently.

Ever since she learned that [Xia Ji] was just a mechanical doll wearing the skin of one of Raphael's clones, her attitude towards [Xia Ji] was one of disgust.

Xia Ji's combat strength is indeed very strong, but I was just careless yesterday.

"Well then, farewell."

Xia Ji didn't say much, and simply pulled the bewildered Bai Zhi away.

Lucia frowned. She did want to leave the person there and wait for [Levi Titus] to come... but considering that the troublesome fourth princess was still in the princess's residence, she had to abandon the idea.

She waved her hand, signaling the maid outside the door to let them through... As long as one is inside [Marindo], there's no fear of them escaping.

……

After Xia Ji and Bai Zhi left, the short-haired female swordsman slowly walked in through another door.

Lucia closed her eyes, propped her forehead up with her hand, and asked calmly, "So, are there any scan results?"

Before they even met, she had already arranged for the female swordsman to hide and begin a comprehensive scan of all information about Xia Ji and Bai Zhi.

"That little girl named Bai Zhi cannot be fully tested due to the lack of biological samples," the female swordsman said solemnly. "However, judging from her outward mental energy, she has indeed reached the standard of royalty. In addition, the frequency of her bio-waves is also within the standard range. Based solely on these data, she undoubtedly has standard royal blood."

Lucia nodded. She had sensed Bai Zhi's spiritual power before, so she wasn't surprised by the female swordsman's report... What she cared about was Xia Ji, especially Xia Ji's powerful combat strength.

"As for [Xia Ji]..." The female swordsman's gaze narrowed slightly, "It cannot be detected at the moment."

"Is it because the time was too short?" Lucia frowned.

The female swordsman rolled her eyes and said, "Two hours or so, do you think that's not enough time? It's really impossible to scan it. This is the image of [Xia Ji], take a look for yourself."

The female swordsman projected a light screen.

On the screen, the image of [Xia Ji] resembled a humanoid nebula, with an extremely dazzling light emanating from the center of the nebula.

Princess Lucia's expression changed slightly, "Its energy level..."

The female swordsman said solemnly, "Is this really a puppet? The energy hidden within it... it's like a huge reactor! I'd believe you if you said it contained ten suns... The person who created it is either a genius or a madman!"

Princess Lucia's expression gradually turned cold. If it were this level of energy, with [Starlight] entering its burst mode, combined with her vast sea of ​​spiritual power, she could still handle it...

However, the scientific side has never been a place for pursuing individual combat.

"What about the hotel?" Princess Lucia asked abruptly.

“The people I sent have all disappeared.” The female swordsman shook her head. “They must have found and dealt with them over there. I only sent a small team, and then nothing more.”

“It seems that this [Levi Titus] is becoming increasingly extraordinary.” Princess Lucia pondered. “Tell [Orihara] to send over detailed information about the Titus gods on the [magical side].

The female swordsman nodded.

This [Orihara] is the main person in charge of the [Secret Society] in the [Science Side] within the [Abriel] Empire. He can also be said to be the strongest intelligence broker in the empire, commanding numerous [Secret Society] scribes.

"It's been quite a while since Princess Phyllis arrived," the female swordsman suddenly reminded her.

“Let her stay a little longer. She’s good-natured and won’t mind,” Lucia said casually. “Those collectibles are enough to keep her occupied.”

Is this your reason for leaving someone else's property here?
Just then, the female swordsman's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Lucia, noticing the female swordsman's unusual expression, frowned and asked, "What is it?"

“I just received news…” the female swordsman pondered, “Princess Raphael was attacked by assassins when she descended on [Ether Star]… however, the assassins have been repelled.”

Lucia's phoenix eyes narrowed instantly. Hearing that the assassin had been repelled, her expression relaxed slightly. "It must have been that [Black Reaper] who made the move."

“No…” the female swordsman said with a strange expression, “It is said that Princess Raphael personally repelled the assassin, and she was piloting a machine that has never been seen before.”

"A machine that has never appeared before?" Lucia's heart skipped a beat. A young face, full of scholarly air and seemingly out of place in this cannibalistic world, flashed through her memory. "Could it be... the one he said he was going to develop..."

"I heard that before His Highness Asprinde perished, he was indeed developing a brand new machine..." the female swordsman mused, "It seems to have incorporated some of the technology from the biological warship?"

“I don’t know much either.” Lucia shook her head. “Let’s gather data on the attack as soon as possible… Assassination? How dare they! Could it really be that arrogant bitch? Does she really think she can do whatever she wants?! How dare she?!”

The female swordsman remained silent.

As the eldest princess, Lucia naturally had the right to berate that person.

But she couldn't. After all, the "bitch" the princess spoke of was the current Empress of the Empire, and also the birth mother of the soon-to-be-crowned new Emperor of the [Abriel] Empire: [Feng Hua Wei Abriel].

In the imperial bureaucracy, she was known as: Empress Wei!
“Go to [Ether Star] yourself, and bring Raphael back by any means necessary.” Lucia waved her hand suddenly. “Only when she is back by my side can I feel at ease.”

……

……

The female swordswoman yawned and walked out of the princess's office. Just as she was stretching, her gaze fell on a figure who was looking in her direction, whether intentionally or unintentionally—Meron Fox!

One of the newly appointed commanders of the princess's guards!

The female swordsman narrowed her eyes and suddenly beckoned to the other person, "Come here."

"Lord Cecil, you wanted to see me?!"

Melon Fox came running over excitedly.

After all, this person was not only a confidant of the eldest princess, but also a former member of the Imperial Royal Knights!
Cecil the Convicted!
"I heard that you and the son of the governor of [Ether Star] were close friends during your school days... After all, he was the one who was able to tell you about the appearance of that Prince Raphael so quickly?"

"Female swordsman..." Cecil asked with a smile.

Melon Fox was startled. He hadn't hidden this from Princess Lucia when she recruited him... As a retainer, having an unclear relationship with local officials was a major taboo in officialdom.

Mellon Fox said as calmly as possible, "We recognized each other when we were still unknown."

“I see…” Cecil thought for a moment, then suddenly reached out and lifted Melon Fox’s chin. “Hey boy, how about you come with me on a business trip?”

Melon Fox gasped!
—On my very first day at work, before I even had lunch, my female boss took a liking to me and asked me to accompany her on a business trip. What should I do? I need help urgently!
"I would be more than willing!! Please allow me to accompany you!"
