Chapter 768: Chapter 761: Gathering Clues

It wasn’t the first time they heard about this, but every time it was mentioned, they couldn’t help but admire the youthful audacity of Mr. Yalunte, who dared to wield his long sword and breach the heavily fortified palace.

Of course, at that time the Otherworld Gate hadn’t opened yet, and Earth’s influence hadn’t reached the Otherworld. Otherwise, if the palace guards were armed with guns, Mr. Yalunte, even with his formidable swordsmanship, wouldn’t be able to step out of the palace.

Even though Mr. Yalunte and Feng were from the same school, their fighting capabilities were on entirely different levels. Even now, Feng was confident in raiding the palace with his sword and kidnapping the royal members, but Mr. Yalunte likely wouldn’t be able to.

Pondering this, Luoer cast an extra glance at Feng. Because Tangmo and Baiyue were flanking him, Feng had no choice but to squeeze in with Hu Daoke. She sat in the corner, blinking her large eyes, obediently listening to the chatter of everyone else, barely uttering a word.

"What happened next, what happened next?" Hu Daoke asked excitedly.

Interrupted again, Fulajie’er was somewhat annoyed. She crossed her arms, huffed at Hu Daoke, and said testily, "Can you please not always interrupt me?"

"I’m sorry, I’m just very interested." Hu Daoke apologized immediately.

"Humph," Fulajie’er harrumphed twice at Hu Daoke’s apology, neither accepting nor rejecting it, then continued, "Later on, Mr. Yalunte left Holy Heart City with the princess, and they disappeared. Otland’s forces were trying to track them down everywhere. The last reported sighting was probably somewhere east of Otland."

"East of Otland..." Baiyue murmured to herself. She didn’t know why, but on hearing this, she experienced an inexplicable shudder.

"Yes, also, I heard from my sister that by the time Otland’s forces found them, the princess was already pregnant..." Fulajie’er said, frowning.

"Pregnant?!" On hearing this, Cheng Ziang’s eyes widened.

It wasn’t the first time he had heard this news, but every time he heard it, he couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement.

"I’m a bit curious," Luoer asked with a puzzled expression, "were the symptoms of the Princess’s pregnancy very apparent at the time? If so, how did they manage to escape the notice of Otland’s forces?"

"Well," after hearing Luoer’s doubt, Fulajie’er thought for a while, then continued, "My sister said she investigated this matter. She initially planned to leverage the Headquarters’ resources, but for an unknown reason, the Headquarters was unresponsive and silent. So she had to investigate on her own. It was confirmed that the rumor came from the official who was in charge of chasing them. He seemed to be, seemed to be..."

"Someone from the Uzistas family, right?" Cheng Ziang suddenly interjected.

"How did you know?" Fulajie’er asked him, eyes wide.

"Feliz told me once. She mentioned that her family’s elder was the officer in charge of hunting down the princess and her companion." Cheng Ziang replied.

"An officer..." At the end of Cheng Ziang’s revelation, Baiyue gasped in astonishment. A familiar scene suddenly appeared in her mind.

"What’s wrong?" Luoer asked, concerned when he noticed her distress.

"It was Dr. An Liang who detected the symptoms of the princess’s pregnancy!" Baiyue exclaimed suddenly.

"How do you know?" Luoer asked her.

"My father’s diary, remember? My father’s diary mentioned this!" Baiyue grasped Luoer’s hand and asked him excitedly.

"Oh, I remember now," Hearing Baiyue’s words, Luoer exclaimed in sudden realization, "Yes, Dr. Anatoli’s diary mentioned this. At that time, Dr. An Liang took the princess’s pulse and confirmed her pregnancy. That princess was Princess Lin, the princess of Otland. And that young swordsman was Mr. Yalunte!"

"With this, all the clues have been connected!" Overjoyed, Luoer immediately calmed down and began to sort out the intricate clues.

"Mr. Yalunte fled eastward with the princess after leaving Holy Heart City. They encountered Dr. An Liang’s group in a tavern in the east, where Dr. An Liang confirmed her pregnancy. Then, pursuers broke in, fought with them, but still let them go. The trail breaks off here, with Mr. Yalunte and the princess once again disappearing..." Luoer speculated.

"Later, Mr. Yalunte worked for the headquarters. According to the descriptions from Instructor and Brother Li, Mr. Yalunte had a deep tenure in the frontline headquarters. They stated that Mr. Yalunte had been working for the headquarters long before they assumed office, that is to say..." Baiyue continued.

"That’s correct, after leaving Dr. An Liang’s group, Mr. Yalunte must have brought the princess to the headquarters’ station," Luoer nodded and agreed.

"No, since the princess was pregnant, why would Brother Yalunte bother with the mess at headquarters? If I were in his shoes, I would’ve found a secluded forest to stay with the princess." Hu Daoke asked, puzzled.

"It must have been because of the princess’s injuries," Baiyue analyzed.

"Injuries?" Hu Daoke paused, surprised.

"Yes, exactly. The diary mentioned that the princess could use magic, but afterward, she often got very weak. According to our understanding of these symptoms, the princess must have suffered from Magic Power Erosion disease at the time," Baiyue considered.

"So..." Hu Daoke asked hesitantly.

"So, Mr. Yalunte went to the headquarters, most likely to save the princess’s life!" Luoer said sternly.

"There’s a detail in the diary," Baiyue looked at them and said, "After Dr. An Liang diagnosed the princess, he gave Mr. Yalunte a note. If I am guessing correctly, Mr. Yalunte went to the headquarters probably because he had taken Dr. An Liang’s advice."

Baiyue wanted to show everyone the details from the diary. Unfortunately, she didn’t bring her father’s diary with her. Besides, even if she had brought it, everyone else wouldn’t understand anything since it was written in Russian and required her translation.

"Yes, that’s correct," Luoer nodded in agreement, "Only in this way would Mr. Yalunte be willing to work for the headquarters. However, this gives rise to another question - where did the princess go if Mr. Yalunte was at the headquarters?"

"You guys are so focused on your back-and-forth that you’ve forgotten my sister entirely, is that alright?" Just as everyone was deeply concerned, Tangmo supported her cheek with one hand, squinted and looked at them. Her other hand reached into her pocket and took out a hairpin used for identification. She then coquettishly handed it to Luoer.

"Try not to mess around in the car!" Luoer accepted her hairpin and put it on for her, unable to resist warning her. He knew that Momo is currently sulking with Cheng Ziang and was afraid that she would cause a scene in the car.

"Be at ease, I know how to behave according to the circumstances," said Tangmo. She couldn’t help but glance at Cheng Ziang a few more times before she suddenly said loudly, "How about I make a bold assumption based on the information you all have deduced. Would you like to hear it?"

"What insights do you have?" Luoer asked after securing her hairpin. At this, she immediately flirtatiously nestled into his embrace.

"It’s just an assumption, you guys just listen, don’t take it seriously!" While nuzzling Luoer’s chest affectionately, Tangmo replied seriously.

"Sit properly before talking!" Unable to stand her enthusiasm, Luoer pushed her away and admonished.

"Hmph," Tangmo gave Luoer an annoyed look, but she didn’t get angry. After looking around, she said solemnly, "After learning that the princess was about to be married off to Masya, an impulsive Yalunte stormed into the palace and took Princess Lin away, subsequently fleeing eastward. If my guess is correct, they planned to reach the Roen River, then go downstream to embark on a merchant ship to the Ancient States to put distance between them and the Northern."

"Unfortunately, during their escape, the princess had to use potent magic in order to protect Yalunte which led to a severe Magic Power Erosion. Even worse, she was found to be pregnant at this moment, and their former plan was thus thwarted. For Yalunte at that time, the most important thing was how to protect the princess and the child in her womb," Tangmo continued.
