Interstellar Orphanage Cultivates Bai Ze Cubs to Be Omniscient and Omnipotent
Chapter 53 Prince Gunnar
He rubbed Orange's big head with some concern. Since the temperature dropped, Orange's grayish-white fur had started to turn white.
Orange was still a little frightened in Wen Ai's arms. In his dream, it was a dark and heavy night, surrounded by sinister eyes and terrifying claws, tightly enveloping him with no way to escape.
He felt afraid when he thought about the things in his dream, and listlessly buried his head in Wen Ai's arms. The fresh scent of bamboo leaves made him feel much better.
But his good mood faded quickly, and he threw himself back into his studies with renewed energy, unaware that those in the know back in the empire were going crazy with worry.

Huaxing.
"Is there still no news of the Crown Prince?" The powerful man on the throne asked a simple question that made it hard for people to breathe.
“Your Highness, we are searching with all our might…” Large beads of sweat rolled down the investigator’s forehead. Sitting in front of him was not an ordinary member of the royal family who was all in name only, but Prince Gunnar, who was the same mother as the current emperor.
With his numerous military exploits, many planets came under the Empire's control because of him. He was a formidable opponent to the Federation's generals.
Prince Gunnar's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure. "A full-scale search? Three days have passed, and your so-called full-scale search hasn't even found a single hair on the Crown Prince's head." His voice was deep and powerful, each word striking the reporter's heart like a heavy hammer.
The investigator's body trembled involuntarily. He knew Prince Gunnar's temper and what the Crown Prince's disappearance meant for the Empire. "Your Highness, we have mobilized all our intelligence networks and reconnaissance forces. We...we are truly doing our best."
Prince Gunnar stood up, his figure appearing even taller and more imposing in the dim light. "Try your best? I want results. The Crown Prince is the future of the empire; his safety is crucial to the stability of the entire empire. If you cannot find the Crown Prince, then your existence is meaningless."
The investigator nearly collapsed to his knees, his voice filled with despair. "Your Highness, we...we really haven't given up on any leads. The Crown Prince was last seen on Valley Star on the border of the Empire. We've sealed off the entire planet and are conducting a thorough search."
A glint of light flashed in Prince Gunnar's eyes. He suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp as lightning. "Gu Xing? Has anything unusual happened there lately?"
The investigators tried to find any possible clues. "Gu Xing has indeed been making some unusual moves lately... there have been several small-scale resistance groups active, but we don't believe they have the capability to kidnap the Crown Prince."
Prince Gunnar's lips curled into a cold smile. "No ability? Nothing is impossible in this world. Keep a close eye on Gu Xing; I'm going there myself. If those resistance groups are truly involved in the Crown Prince's disappearance, I will make them pay for their actions."
The investigator nodded quickly, knowing that Prince Gunnar's decision was irreversible. "Yes, Your Highness. We will prepare immediately to ensure your safety."
Prince Gunnar strode out of the room. The Crown Prince was his nephew, and more importantly, the heir on whom his elder brother had placed great hopes. He would not allow anyone to harm the Crown Prince, nor would he allow the Crown Prince's disappearance to become a disgrace to the empire.
This matter was kept strictly confidential, but some families still noticed something amiss.
Inside the Lan family mansion.
The patriarch, Rankar, was sitting in his study dealing with family affairs. Suddenly, he felt his heart leap, and an ominous premonition washed over him. The feeling came so suddenly and intensely that he involuntarily stopped writing and frowned.
After the former empress died tragically during childbirth, Lan's eldest daughter, Lancelotia, was selected to enter the palace and became the new empress.
This should have been the greatest honor for the Lan family, but after Lancelot became pregnant, he discovered that his daughter's personality had changed drastically.
The once gentle, kind, and well-mannered Lancelot has become taciturn and even somewhat cold and distant. She is no longer as tolerant of her servants as before, and only when she talks about her cubs does she show some of her former self.
Every time he thinks about these changes, Rankar is puzzled and can only attribute them to the changes that come with pregnancy. He believes that his daughter will return to normal after giving birth.
But recently, security at the palace has been tightened, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will. He has been unable to contact his beloved daughter for a long time.
[What exactly happened?] Rankar unconsciously gripped the armrests of the seat.
He prayed silently that none of the trouble would involve his precious daughter. However, that ominous premonition lingered in his mind, refusing to dissipate.
Hopefully, it has nothing to do with her.

In the greenhouse filled with blooming roses, Lancelot gently stroked her belly. It was a rare beautiful day, and sunlight lingered on her face, radiating maternal glow. Six months had passed since the Crown Prince's disappearance, yet her men had still not brought the news she craved.
Contrary to her imposing appearance, she had a cold expression; she couldn't relax until the Crown Prince confirmed the news.
Who would have thought that Crown Prince Guderian would still have the strength to escape?
She calmed her breathing in the greenhouse, knowing that intense emotions were bad for the fetus.
She stroked her belly and softly sang a lullaby for her child.
Lancelot's cubs slept peacefully in their mother's womb, but Orange had been having nightmares for some time.
Every night, he would see cold, clawed monsters surrounding him. The sticky, icy touch terrified him, and he wanted to run away, but he was too weak to move.
Each time he was about to suffocate, a golden light would flash before his eyes, and he would wake up in the darkness the next moment.
After several such incidents, Orange became listless, her performance in class declined significantly, and she couldn't stop dozing off in the mornings.
Wen Ai examined him and found that the blood clot in his brain was showing signs of dissipating, and those nightmares might be things he had experienced.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing for oranges.
Wen Ai frowned with worry. His special ability wouldn't be very effective against Chengzi. Perhaps the sleeping potion could help Chengzi get a good night's sleep.
To be on the safe side, he went to ask Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao looked at the test report and raised an eyebrow: "Another little guy with a broken crystal?"
Orange's power crystal was shattered even more severely than Wen Ze's was back then, and now there is very little left, with only some surrounded by blood clots.
If it weren't for this abnormal value, Ling Xiao wouldn't have noticed it either.
This value corresponds to the development level of the cub's brain, and it can be seen that Orange was very outstanding before.
Wen Ai had initially thought that the abnormal values were caused by a brain injury, but now he was even more certain that Chengzi had ended up on Shanshan Star due to a man-made accident.
