Angsimmon quickly sent people to investigate. Kellysta held the ocarina tightly, carefully recalling Xia Tang's every move.

She thought about how she felt Xia Tang had a kind face when they first met, and how Xia Tang gently held her hand late at night.

"They really look alike, even... they can't see the night road when it's dark. Simon, I'm really stupid, how could I... not recognize them?"

Kellysta burst into tears. She covered her mouth tightly and leaned her head on Angusimon: "Oh my God, poor child, she has been wandering outside for so many years!"

"Don't worry, Lily. These are just speculations. We'll have to wait until the results come out before we decide."

Angusimon gently comforted Kellysta: "There is still a lot of time. If she is indeed as we guessed, it will not be too late to compensate her then. However, after so many years, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone with ulterior motives did this intentionally, so we must be on guard."

"Father, what are you talking about?" Anderson listened from the side, somewhat curious: "Could it be that Miss Xia Tang's parents... are acquainted with you?"

Angusimon sighed: "It's just speculation. Before confirmation, you must not make it public in advance, so as not to make others happy for nothing."

Anderson nodded and put the ocarina away. He planned to deliver it to Xia Tang early tomorrow morning before she left, to please her. Maybe if Xia Tang was happy, she would no longer be angry with him.

The next day, Anderson got up early, and when he arrived at Xia Tang's place, Lambert was already waiting there.

Seeing Anderson coming, Lambert looked alert. After what happened last night, he no longer wore the mask and was very repulsive to Anderson.

"Go away." Lambert looked at Anderson coldly.

Anderson suppressed his anger and said, "Lambert, although... you have known her longer than I have, I think we are the same. Since you are not Miss Xia Tang's partner, you have no right to stop me."

"She's mine," Lambert whispered, his teeth rubbing against each other in his mouth. "How many times do you want me to say it?"

Anderson stood up straight and showed no intention of leaving. Lambert noticed that Anderson seemed to have dressed up carefully, and now he had restrained his temper and became much more stable.

"Lambert, no matter what, Miss Xia Tang is her own person, and she has the right to make her own choice." Anderson walked up to Lambert and said in a voice that only he could hear:

"And if I compete with you openly, I may not lose."

"you--"

Just as Lambert was about to get angry, Xia Tang opened the door and came out: "Lambert, Anderson, why are you two here?"

Xia Tang saw that Anderson still had an angry look on his face. Seeing her like this, Anderson felt that what Kellysta said was right. Even though Xia Tang kept giving him a cold look, he still thought she was cute.

Anderson came over, took out the ocarina from his arms and handed it to Xia Tang, saying softly and flatteringly: "I'm here to give this to you, please don't be angry, okay?"

Xia Tang was a little surprised, but she held it in her hand, squeezed it, and handed it back: "Thank you, but this is something from your mother's old friend. It's too valuable. I can't accept it."

"Actually..." Anderson wanted to tell Xia Tang that his parents seemed to know her parents, so it would be most appropriate for her to hold this thing. But he was afraid that if his father's words came true, it would be a false alarm, which would be inappropriate.

"What's wrong?" Xia Tang asked.

"Nothing." Anderson shook his head. "I just want to ask you, do you still remember anything about your parents? If possible, do you want to meet them?"

"Of course...I do." Xia Tang's eyes flashed, he was stunned for a moment and then shook his head.

Seeing this, Lambert pushed Anderson away and pulled Xia Tang away: "Okay Anderson, if you can't talk, just shut up. Don't make her sad by hooking her here."

Lambert brought Xia Tang to the palace garden, and it was Feynman who came to pick her up. Anderson saw Xia Tang's expression suddenly become very gentle. She threw herself into Feynman's arms like a kitten and let Feynman take her away, just like his mother Kellysta when she saw his father Ange Simon.

After Xia Tang left, the palace garden was empty. Anderson also left. Lambert sat alone on the swing where Xia Tang had sat last night, swinging gently, but he couldn't help feeling a little panic in his heart.

What Anderson said kept lingering in Lambert's ears. If Anderson really wanted to compete with him, what advantages would he have?

Similar appearance, same class, Anderson has everything he has, and also things he doesn't have, such as a status respected by everyone and the wholehearted love of his parents.

What does he compare it with?

It’s not like there weren’t females who approached them in the past, but without exception, they all valued Anderson more and none of them ever liked him.

But before, he didn't think it was a big deal. Those females could like Anderson if they wanted to, so let them. But Xia Tang was different. He would go crazy if he thought that one day Xia Tang would blush in front of Anderson.

The crown pin on his shirt sparkled in the sunlight. Lambert took it off and looked at it in his hand. The brighter the crown, the duller Lambert looked.

Lambert opened the Star Brain and sent a message to Black Robe: [You messed up the previous deal, do you still remember this? ]

Black Robe: [No need to keep reminding me. Your good brother has been staying in the palace recently. I have no chance to take action. Don’t you know that? ]

Lambert: [Let's put this matter aside for now. I have other things I want.]

Black Robe: [What is it? ]

Lambert: [Xia Tang.]

After a long silence, the man in black robe sent a message: [Come to the old place in three days.]

Lambert left the palace and arrived at the "old place" mentioned by Black Robe on time three days later. Black Robe was also there, and it seemed that he had been waiting for him for a long time.

Lambert raised an eyebrow: "I can't call you usually, but today I'm so happy."

The man in black robe said in a muffled voice, "I didn't understand the message you sent. What did you mean?"

"I want Xia Tang." Lambert said very bluntly: "What does it mean for a male to want a female?"

"You should know that even the Beast King cannot influence the choice of females."

"But didn't you say before that you can do anything?"

The black-robed man's voice became colder and colder: "Xia Tang is a little special, please change the deal. No matter what it is, I will help you."

There was no surprise on Lambert's face. He said very clearly, "I want Xia Tang."

The man in black robe moved over almost instantly, and wisps of black substance emanated from his body. They instantly wrapped around Lambert, pressing him so hard that he couldn't move at all. The man in black robe slowly grasped Lambert's neck:

"Lambert, you should know what happened to the last person who had feelings for her, right?"

Lambert knew he was referring to the eagle beast Graz, as he had already been informed by his spies of what happened after the pairing ceremony that day.

"I... know." Lambert was strangled by the black robe and his voice was a little intermittent.

"I'll give you a chance. Either you choose another female and the deal continues, or you'll end up like Graz."
