"Greetings, Lady Bianca. My name is Rita Losweiser. I have come to serve as your adjutant, as instructed by Archbishop Otto."

Rita gently lifted her skirt and gracefully performed a standard maid's bow. Her wine-red pupils narrowed slightly as she gazed at Bianca, a half-smile playing on her lips.

Bianca waved her hand dismissively and said nonchalantly, "Stop with all this formalities. I don't like it. Just call me Bianca."

At this moment, Chen Yuan, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Bianca with great interest. He had to admit that Bianca's appearance did resemble Cecilia more than Kiana's.

Noticing Chen Yuan's gaze, Bianca looked back curiously. However, after only a moment, she quickly turned her head away. "No, why are you staring at me so strangely!"

"Hmm??" When Bianca said this, Rita's eyes, which had been smiling faintly, rippled slightly. Her gaze quickly shifted between Bianca and the dust on her shoulder, with a hint of scrutiny.

After a brief silence, Rita clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. She bit her lip, her lips pressed into a thin line, and a look of resentment crossed her face.

"Lady Bianca, can you see His Highness the Master?" Rita finally broke the silence, but her voice sounded somewhat low, as if she was suppressing some kind of emotion.

'Oh no, is this girl jealous?' Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Rita say this, and he secretly groaned.

You see, he had confidently told Rita that she was the only one in the world who could see him, completely forgetting about Bianca. Now, facing this situation, he felt a little guilty.

However, Bianca didn't notice the unusual atmosphere. She tilted her head slightly, her beautiful blue eyes first looking at Chen Yuan, then turning to Rita, and asked in confusion.

"Of course you can! Is that so strange? He's sitting right on your shoulder."

"And what exactly does 'Your Highness' mean? This is so embarrassing! How can someone use such a shameful title!" Bianca muttered, her face flushed. As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

"This is simply... insane." After saying that, Bianca lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone, her hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

'This is terrible...' Bianca's words had barely left her lips when Chen Yuan inwardly cried out in alarm. He knew very well that for Rita, the title "Master" was like her Achilles' heel, something that could not be touched.

Even when he tried to change the way she addressed him, Rita strongly objected and expressed her dissatisfaction, as if he had done something to wrong her.

As expected, when Rita heard Bianca say those words, her gentle gaze instantly turned gloomy. Although she still wore her signature smile, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze instantly, so cold that it sent chills down one's spine.

"Lady Bianca, please watch your words. Your Highness is Your Highness; it is by no means a shameful or perverted title."

Rita spoke slowly, her smile fading as she stared intently at Bianca, a barely perceptible chill gleaming in her eyes.

"And I am merely His Highness's personal maid. Whatever His Highness requests of me, as long as it is something I can accomplish with my own abilities, even if it requires sacrificing this body as a price, I will not hesitate..."

"Stop right now!! Can you please step on the brakes a little?!" Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan's expression changed drastically. He quickly extended a symbiote and precisely blocked Rita's mouth, which was about to launch into a long speech, successfully stopping her from saying anything more.

"Well, let me explain this to you myself!" Chen Yuan sighed helplessly, glared at Rita, and then slowly shifted his gaze to Bianca.

“Uh… Miss Bianca, this matter isn’t as bad as you think. In fact, apart from you and Rita, no one else in this world can see me for the time being.”

As the words were spoken, Chen Yuan nimbly leaped from Rita's shoulder onto the table, glaring at her as he did so. "This is just one of my ordinary abilities."

“I see…” Bianca nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully, “So, apart from me and Miss Rita, it’s difficult for others to detect your presence unless you choose to reveal yourself, right?”

At this point, Bianca suddenly reached out and swiftly scooped up Chen Yuan. Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she stared intently at Chen Yuan in her hands.

Rita, standing behind Chen Yuan, grew increasingly grim upon seeing this scene, her eyes fixed on Bianca's small hand holding Chen Yuan's. However, Bianca, immersed in joy, remained completely oblivious to this.

"Wow! This ability is absolutely amazing! Can you teach it to me?" Bianca asked expectantly, unconsciously gripping Chen Yuan's hand even tighter.

"Well... I'm afraid that's not feasible..." Chen Yuan struggled a few times in Bianca's hands, finally managing to break free from her grasp and return to the table.

"Well, that's roughly the situation. However, it would be better if Rita explained the relationship between me and you herself."

Chen Yuan responded softly, while turning his gaze to Rita beside him and giving her a look that told her not to talk nonsense.

"Hmph!" Rita first snorted coldly, glared fiercely at Chen Yuan, and then shifted her gaze to Bianca. After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath to calm her emotions.

"It's like this, Lady Bianca..." Rita then briefly recounted what had happened two years ago.

Of course, when it comes to certain events involving Chen Yuan and her, Rita can't help but embellish them. For example, the scene where she carries Chen Yuan to fight against the Honkai Beasts. Chen Yuan herself didn't know that she was so powerful, capable of anything.

After a while, Bianca nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what had happened. However, at this moment, her azure eyes turned to Chen Yuan, revealing an even stronger curiosity in her gaze.

"I see... I didn't know you and Ms. Rita had such a past. And turning your body into a weapon is so cool. I wish I had that ability."

At this point, Bianca touched her face, saying with some regret, "However, I'm still quite curious about how you manage to become invisible, something that defies common sense."

After saying that, Bianca stared intently at Chen Yuan with expectant eyes, hoping that he could give a satisfactory answer immediately.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh helplessly, a bitter smile creeping onto his face. He had originally thought that if he could cleverly steer the conversation towards Rita, he might be able to avoid these problems. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape this predicament!

After much hesitation, Chen Yuan decided to try a perfunctory approach first to see if he could get away with it. After all, turning his body into a weapon could be explained by a symbiotic relationship. But invisibility was a bit more difficult; he couldn't very well reveal the system.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yuan slowly spoke, "Actually, there's no particularly special principle behind my ability. It just formed naturally, and even I sometimes don't understand it!"

After saying this, Chen Yuan secretly observed Bianca's reaction, silently hoping that she would give up. "It's just an innate talent. Just like some people are born fast, and some people are born strong."

Bianca blinked, seemingly pondering Chen Yuan's words. After a while, she said, "Alright, since it's a talent, there's nothing we can do about it. However, it would be even better if you could teach me some combat techniques or share some experience!"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bianca didn't continue to ask questions; otherwise, he would have had to temporarily silence her physically.

"Of course!" Chen Yuan readily agreed, secretly rejoicing that this was a perfect opportunity to change the subject.

"However, regarding combat techniques, I would still recommend Rita more. After all, you are not much different in age, and it would be better if you discussed some things yourselves."

Chen Yuan's suggestion eased the atmosphere a little. Rita looked at Chen Yuan with a puzzled expression. Although according to the information, Bianca was already a Valkyrie, she was still far inferior to herself.

'Don't underestimate Bianca, Rita.' Noticing Rita's gaze, Chen Yuan naturally guessed what she wanted to say, but the Kaslana family cannot be judged by common sense. Just look at Kiana's growth rate in the later stages to see that.

Chen Yuan stretched and said, "Then it's settled. Today is our first meeting, and sparring will be good for our relationship. Miss Bianca, is there a training ground here?"

"Hmph! Just call me Bianca. 'Miss,' it sounds weird!" Bianca tilted her head and snorted softly, her face turning slightly red.

"Of course, it's not that our relationship has improved; it's just that I don't like being called that. And let me make this clear, I'm not going to go easy on you!"
