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

"My Lord Duke, although I do not doubt you, I still ask you to explain the situation of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xia Ye is now certain that Duke Oufei will definitely not do anything harmful to Claire.

However, the situation is unclear now, and she doesn't want to leave the princess's fate to others without knowing the situation.

"Eight years ago, Your Highness encountered an accident in which psychic energy leaked."

As he spoke, the young Duke of Oufei took out a pair of necklaces that looked like jewelry - and after taking the thing that looked nothing special, Xia Ye immediately handed it to Zhu Ying beside him.

No problem—the cherry-haired maid answered Xia Ye's question with a nod.

"Your Highness absorbed an excessive amount of spiritual energy in that accident and fell into a deep coma... Even Earl Jiangyue could do nothing about it."

Duke Oufei spoke of the past with a cold expression, while staring intently at Claire who was lying on the bed.

Only after seeing Karin carefully put the necklace around the princess' neck did he turn his gaze back.

"It was my wife... the one who was Earl Jiangyue's student at the time, who made a tool for His Highness that could suppress psychic energy."

"We once heard from Earl Jiangyue about your wife."

"Has she already said that, huh?"

After putting on the neck ring, Karin and Zhuying immediately began to monitor Claire's condition.

The neck ring immediately took effect - according to Karin's perception, the spiritual energy that had already begun circulating in Klia's body soon could no longer flow into her head.

"Although that thing cannot eliminate the spiritual energy in her body, it can make her sober up. As long as she can stay awake, she can expel the spiritual energy from her body by herself."

After explaining the function of the props, Duke Oufei reached out and pushed up his glasses - but his action seemed to be just to conceal his emotional changes.

"Well, I have other work to do. Please take good care of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"thanks for your help."

"…If the situation changes again, take her away from here."

The young Duke gave one more reminder before leaving, and Xia Ye thanked him very politely.

She had seen through the duke's hidden thoughts, so she was no longer so worried about safety.

"Ms. Karin, how is His Highness doing?"

"The spiritual energy has bypassed her head and re-established circulation in her body...but it feels strange, these spiritual energies don't seem to be harming her body."

"Stay and watch. If His Highness wakes up, let me know immediately... I'm going to go see what's going on with Mr. Kuran now."

Even though Klia's condition has stabilized temporarily, the situation outside is still very tricky.

The extremely high concentration of spiritual energy still permeated the environment, with no sign of dissipating. Even if you stay indoors, you can't cast magic and fighting spirit smoothly.

Who is Duke of Buck suddenly targeting by using such a radical strategy?

……

"Mr. Kuran, what is the status of the mercenary group?"

"It's not good. The people in the group can no longer release their fighting spirit and magic... Although the physical fitness of the aliens is better than that of ordinary people, everyone has become as fragile as ordinary people now."

When Xia Ye found Kulan, who had just reorganized the mercenary group, she received some not-so-good news.

Losing one's fighting spirit and magic power actually means losing one's defense for a combat professional.

It is precisely because this power can effectively resist sharp blades or arrows that combat professionals have absolute suppression power over ordinary people in head-on combat.

But what would happen if we lost this key defensive capability?

"Did you get any information related to this matter when you were here before?"

"No, I only knew about this kind of thing when I went to Booker City today."

Why did Duke Booker create this environment that allows warriors to return to being ordinary people?

Since long-distance communications have also been affected by spiritual power, now if we want to transmit information to the outside world, we can only rely on the Spider Sakura's high-speed flying ability.

But as Spider Sakura is an important fighting force, it is not appropriate for her to leave at will now.

"Got it. You guys continue to stand by."

"Ms. Xia Ye, we have basically no combat power in this environment... so we probably can't help you for now, sorry."

Xia Ye was not worried about the issue of combat effectiveness, because Karin and Zhuying were actually stronger in this environment.

What she is more concerned about now is the movements of Duke Booker and the impending conflict of power within the empire. Since the foreign enemy has already tied down the Second Prince and the Southern Border Guards supported by Duke Booker, the person who intends to betray the empire may have already begun to act.

It’s not that Duke Booker doesn’t care about his losses, it’s just that the enemy he needs to deal with is actually more powerful than Her Royal Highness the Princess and Aarons.

"It seems necessary to talk to Duke Oufei again."

……

However, when Xia Ye returned to the building of the temporary base, Keliya just woke up from her coma.

Although her body had been corroded by the high concentration of spiritual energy, she immediately regained her ability to move after waking up.

However, knowing that she was awakened by something sent by Duke Oufei, her mood became complicated.

"Tsk... That bastard Moro actually still has this thing..."

"Your Highness, although some of this may not be something you like to hear, the current situation is still unclear. I suggest you talk to the Duke."

Claire hated Duke Oufei very much - although Xia Ye had not heard those stories, she could probably guess some of the reasons.

The late wife of Duke Oufei was once Claire's senior sister... and also a rare family member for a disfigured girl who was only ten years old.

——And that duke not only took her family away from her, but also caused that person to leave the world early.

"Forget it. I don't want to see that guy's face right now."

"Then you should take a good rest during this period. Miss Karin and Miss Zhuying will help you find a solution to your spiritual power problem."

For unknown reasons, Klia absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy. Even if she left this environment, she would probably not be able to recover her original combat power for a while.

In order to ensure her safety, the best option would be to let her stay with Karin, Xia Ye, Zhu Ying and the other two.

"I can't help it... Sister Xia Ye, I'll leave the matter of communicating with that person to you."

"This is the duty of civil servants, please rest assured."

With Karin and Zhuying looking after her, Xia Ye was not worried that Keliya would encounter any danger.

So she immediately made her next decision - to have a good talk with Duke Oufei.
