Chapter 1324: Chapter 892 Convergence_2
“…there’s just one small issue.”
“What’s the issue?”
“Before the transport team set off, I heard the Magic Department added some supplies to their cargo.”
While speaking, Zhenjiling pointed towards the large iron chest trailing behind her.
“Out of curiosity, we took a look inside to see what it was… Big brother, what do you think is inside?”
“How would I know.”
Duanmu Huai wasn’t interested to begin with, but seeing Zhenjiling’s animated expression, he became somewhat intrigued.
“What’s inside?”
“Take a look and you’ll know,” Zhenjiling teased, leading Duanmu Huai forward to the giant iron chest. Then, Zhenjiling opened it, revealing…
“What the hell is this?”
Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but be taken aback by the contents of the chest.
Simple reason being, there was a gigantic crystal inside the chest!
Not only that, but there was actually a person inside the crystal!
“Well, isn’t this interesting.”
Gazing at the girl seemingly encased in ice within the crystal, showing no signs of life, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes. From her appearance, this girl didn’t seem too old, and she had white-gold long hair, huh… white-gold?
Didn’t Anisphere once mention that white-gold hair is a symbol of the Royal Family?
Oh, this is getting interesting.
With this thought, Duanmu Huai perked up. If he remembered correctly, the current King only had one son and one daughter, right?
Oh my, could this be the start of some family sitcom?
“I’m taking this thing.”
Duanmu Huai assessed the crystal in front of him and made a swift decision.
“Eh? But…”
“No buts, if the Prince doesn’t ask, you don’t tell. I’m sure you understand this isn’t simple.”
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, his gaze turning to the guards. Shaken by his stare, they lowered their heads.
“Then I’m heading back.”
With a snap of his fingers, Duanmu Huai collected the crystal.
“What about you, Zhenjiling? Are you coming back with me now or staying here?”
“Karen can keep going with them, we’ve come this far already.”
“True, it’s not that far. But still, be careful before entering the city.”
Having said that, Duanmu Huai and Ogis waved to Zhenjiling then took off into the sky, quickly disappearing.
Afterwards, Duanmu Huai promptly returned to his Mage’s Mansion and kicked open the door.
“Whoa, what’s the matter, Sir Judge?”
Enisphia, who was consoling Yuriya, was startled; she almost leaped to her feet and glared at Duanmu Huai.
“Are you still upset?”
“Of course, girls are fragile creatures…”
“Never mind, this isn’t a big deal.”
Duanmu Huai waved his hand dismissively, cutting off Enisphia’s protest.
“I’ve got something interesting here for you to see.”
“What’s interesting?”
Hearing Duanmu Huai speak, Enisphia, Yuriya, and Teerdi all looked up puzzledly at Duanmu Huai. He let out a chuckle and snapped his fingers. The next moment, the crystal sealing the girl appeared out of thin air in front of the trio.
“Eh? What’s this?”
Needless to say, the sight stunned the three girls; not only were Enisphia and Teerdi surprised by the crystal, but even Yuriya, who was distressed over a broken engagement, stared with amazement at the crystal before her.
“Sir Judge, where did you find this?”
“It was delivered.”
“Delivered?”
“Yes, delivered. The supply transport team dispatched from the Royal City arrived, and among them was this item sent by the Magic Department. I thought it was interesting when I opened it, so I brought it back.”
“This… doesn’t seem right.”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, everyone was speechless, but Duanmu Huai let out a snort.
“Are you sure? You think it’s better to let everyone see this thing out in the open?”
“No, I mean… eh?”
As she spoke, Yuriya turned her gaze back to the girl, pausing momentarily.
“White-gold hair? Your Highness Anisphere, this girl…”
“Eh? Really? Why would she have…”
Now Yuriya, along with Enisphia and Teerdi, noticed the issue. White-gold hair was a symbol of the Royal Family, and only the Royal lineage had such hair color.
But…
“Anisphere, this isn’t your sister or something, is it?”
“That can’t be, Mother only had me and Yar as children.”
Anisphere was also perplexed.
“Is she the King’s illegitimate child?”
“That… shouldn’t be possible?”
Though Anisphere felt her father was not the type to womanize, the evidence was right in front of her.
A girl roughly Yuriya’s age, with the Royal Family’s hair color… sealed in this crystal…
“Why not ask her herself?”
Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers, turning to Yuriya.
“Can you break this seal?”
“I’ll give it a try.”
