The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Why was he murdered by his two brothers even though he had no right to inherit the throne?

Why is it that even though I clearly possess great power, the nobles still dare to ignore my will and treat me as a commodity to be traded?

Why would Duke of Buck say without hesitation that he just didn't get the right price?

——Because I’m not a princess at all!

"me……"

"Your Highness, calm down!"

Seeing that the power in Cliya was showing signs of getting out of control, Karin immediately infused her spiritual power into her body.

The spiritual power quickly suppressed Klia's magic power and fighting spirit, and also eased her turbid spirit a little.

"Sister Karin... I'm not..."

"Your Highness, no matter who you are... the young master will never abandon you."

Of course, Karin knew what Klia wanted to hear most at this time, so she said it decisively.

After hearing this answer, Claire, who had been in a state of confusion due to anxiety, gradually calmed down.

"……Really?"

"I was just a disabled slave before, but even so, the young master never thought of abandoning me."

Everyone is familiar with Karin's experience, and Keliya has certainly learned about this sister who first followed Aarons. She used to be active in the south of the continent as a mercenary leader. After becoming disabled due to her arrogance, she became a slave due to debts. Finally, she was bought and saved by Aarons when she was on the verge of death.

Aarons doesn't care about identity or status, because he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, so his attitude towards nobles or ordinary people is the same.

"Anyway, let's get out of here first."

Under such circumstances, the reconnaissance operation could not continue.

Klia's emotions had only calmed down temporarily. If she was stimulated again, she would probably collapse directly.

"Zhu Ying, there is an emergency here, we need to retreat immediately."

"……sorry."

"It's okay, let's talk about it outside."

Although Karin didn't care about Klia's identity, she could understand the feeling of losing everything.

As for whether Aarons would abandon her because of this? Judging from Karin's own experience, Aarons might even be happy about it.

……

Under the cover of Zhu Ying, the three of them quickly escaped from the underground factory in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

They did see the secret hidden by Duke Booker, but another bigger secret defeated Claire's will.

——She was not a real imperial princess, but an orphan of unknown identity adopted by the emperor twenty years ago.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Don't call me that anymore, I'm not..."

"As long as His Majesty the Emperor still considers you a princess, you will remain so."

There is indeed nothing wrong with this statement.

As long as the royal family does not deny Klia's identity, she will still be a princess even if she is not the emperor's biological child.

And Klia, who had slowly calmed down, was not so confused at this time.

"...Yes, at least for now, I am still the princess of the empire."

Since it is unlikely that Duke Buck would lie to outsiders about such a matter, there is no need to question his words.

This matter is of great importance, and Karin cannot act on her own.

"Zhu Ying, contact Xia Ye now and ask her to come here as soon as possible."

"Understood. In addition, I have collected all the information in that area and will be able to generate an analysis report soon."

At this time, Karin's past leadership experience came into play - before Keliya's spirit recovered, she could fully take on the responsibility of commanding.

"We will return to the Chamber of Commerce as soon as the mercenary group comes back, and discuss countermeasures after Miss Xia Ye comes over."

"Hoo... Sister Karin, I'll leave it to you for now..."

"Your Highness, there is one more thing... Is your body okay?"

In order to stop Klia from losing control, Karin just forcibly transferred a lot of spiritual power into her body.

These spiritual powers will not only have a serious impact on magic power and fighting spirit, but may also hurt Cliya's body.

"Hmm... the spiritual energy in my body seems a little strange."

However, after feeling the condition of her body, Klia was surprised to find that the spiritual power that had merged into her body had actually formed an independent cycle.

These spiritual powers can even flow in parallel with her fighting spirit and magic power without any interference with each other.

"Spiritual power... My body seems to be able to absorb spiritual power."

"It shouldn't be a bad thing. Zhuying, come and help His Highness check."

Under such circumstances, the cherry-haired maid did not argue with Karin, but immediately conducted a detailed examination of Claire.

However, the results of the examination were somewhat difficult to understand.

"Report. The main database is still blocked, and the relevant data cannot be compared. But I detected strong carbon-uranium heat radiation in the body of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Perhaps it was affected by the abnormal product I just saw."

"Influence...So what is that thing?"

"Explanation. Based on analysis, it is speculated that it is a 'high-level artificially created magical beast that can absorb carbon-uranium geothermal energy', but this individual is in a state of abnormal development and cannot be fully formed."

A magical beast that can absorb psychic energy? Why would Duke Booker create something like that?

Karin thought carefully about the conversation she had just heard, but could not come up with any answer.

"...[Star Child] might be a life form that can absorb psychic energy freely, and they should be planning to make that thing into an energy core that can be used infinitely."

Although she was still a little mentally shaken, Klia still explained for Karin.

"High-level magical beasts can directly absorb energy from nature, but they cannot absorb or store spiritual energy. The only problem with the use of spiritual energy at present is that they need to frequently replenish magic source stones from the outside."

If there was something that could directly absorb psychic energy remotely and release it in a concentrated manner - then humans would no longer have to worry about energy.

"The key is the Star Child... We have to find that thing before they do."

"Understood. Zhuying, fly back to find Xia Ye right now, tell her everything that happened here, and then bring her here."

"Received. We are now starting our return journey. Please go to the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible."

No matter what happens next, they don't have time to think about it now.

If Duke Booker really obtained unlimited energy, then no one in the empire would be able to be his enemy - the ability to fire magic array cannons without limit would be difficult to resist.

"Before I truly lose my identity as a princess... I must eliminate this threat."
