I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 206, Sections 1.15 and 4: Royal Wars
"The rarest recipe... but what exactly constitutes the rarest recipe?" Koya pondered as she dusted off the food.

So, it seems that gaining the royal family's trust is the first step to going to more places?

"Ah." Mu Yegui paused slightly, his cool silver eyes looking curiously at Ke Ya, who was holding a huge vase and staring blankly. His mouth was slightly open, as if he was a little surprised.

I never expected to see this person here.

"What are you doing?" Mu Yegui asked softly, standing behind Ke Ya.

"Ahhh!" Ke Ya was startled by Mu Yegui's sudden shout and stumbled back several steps, bumping into the huge vase.

With a loud 'bang,' the huge vase fell to the ground and shattered completely.

"Oh no, I can't be kicked out!" Koya scratched her head, her expression showing a hint of frustration.

The sound of armor clanging coldly came from afar, and a squad of soldiers ran over and surrounded the two.

Mu Yegui blinked expressionlessly and asked, "What happened?"

"Ah! This is a large vase that has been passed down for hundreds of years! How could it be broken like this! Who did this?!" The head maid looked at the broken pieces of the vase with heartache and said angrily.

Without hesitation, Ke Ya pointed at Mu Yegui, who obediently nodded.

The head maid's face paled slightly. If it were Mu Yegui, she certainly wouldn't have been able to blame him. He wasn't just a distinguished guest, but also the Crown Prince, who held the highest-ranking residency certificate in the royal city, making him more prestigious than the Crown Prince of any other kingdom, almost on par with a lord.

Therefore, as a servant, she had absolutely no right to blame her.

"Can't we just throw away the broken things? They're a bit of an eyesore." Mu Yegui turned around and looked at the broken vase, picked up a small golden trinket from the shards, and said to the head maid.

"Yes! Replace her immediately!" The head maid had nothing to say but to agree, because saying anything would offend Mu Yegui, so she could only obey her orders.

"What are you doing standing here! Don't offend His Highness Nightmare!" The head maid, with her sharp eyes, spotted Ke Ya standing next to Mu Yegui and shouted sternly.

Her cool, silver eyes were fixed on the head maid, deep and calm, reflecting nothing, so empty it chilled one to the bone. She spoke softly in a gentle, childlike voice, "Do you have a problem with my people?"

The head maid apologized hastily, "I'm so sorry! I thought it was some ignorant servant from the castle! I didn't mean to offend His Highness Nightmare! Please forgive me!!" Although she was dressed as a servant from the castle, if Mu Yegui said that, it would be impossible for a servant to deny his master.

"Get down." Mu Yegui glanced at the soldiers and said slowly.

After everyone dispersed, Koya suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ke Ya patted her chest, still shaken, and asked, "Why are you here?" The so-called Nightmare Prince must be Mu Yegui's title of Crown Prince. If that's the case, she shouldn't have any connection to him.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Ke Ya still trusted Mu Yegui's character. At least, the Mu Yegui she had ever met had never betrayed his teammates.

"Investigating the clown, so you're cooperating with the administration department. Are you working on a dungeon crawler?" Mu Yegui asked.

Ke Ya nodded subconsciously, then froze, realizing what she had done. She had subconsciously admitted that she should have been wary of Mu Yegui, but no matter what she thought, her actions turned into complete trust.

What's going on? Light green eyes stared in astonishment at that exquisite, doll-like, unreal beautiful face, pure as an angel, making one want to confide everything to her.

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Ke Ya held them back. She knew she was acting very strangely, but why had she become like this?
"..." Ke Ya lowered her head and looked at her hands. Her light green eyes suddenly contracted, and her expression showed a hint of disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yegui asked.

"I just don't know how to find the rarest recipes..." Koya suddenly covered her mouth; she didn't mean to say it!

"We might find something if we look in the storage room." Mu Yegui reached out, and a black book appeared out of thin air in her left hand. She looked down at the contents of the book and said slowly.

Ke Ya was somewhat surprised, never expecting Mu Yegui to tell her.

Actually, she could have helped Koya directly; she could have simply found the item's location on the Nightmare Book and dragged it to her. However, doing so would have ruined the fun of clearing the dungeon, and since this dungeon wasn't hers, there was no need to go to such lengths. Besides, Koya didn't need her help.

"Can you do me a favor?" Ke Ya looked at Mu Yegui and said slowly, "Help me get close to the Eighth Princess. I need to gain her trust."

Since she couldn't hide her mission from Mu Yegui, she might as well just say it directly. Given Mu Yegui's current status, it should be easy for him to accomplish. The rules didn't prohibit her from asking for help, so she wasn't breaking any rules; everything she was doing was perfectly reasonable.

"The Eighth Princess?" Mu Yegui's eyes were filled with confusion. Tang Xiuna seemed to have introduced the royal family members to her, but she was focused on her book at the time and hadn't listened carefully.

She had never met the Eighth Princess, so she didn't know what she looked like, but she must have been the youngest.

"Do you know what the Eighth Princess looks like?" Mu Yegui asked.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have had such a headache." Ke Ya sighed and rubbed her forehead helplessly.

"Then I'll go ask..."

Ke Ya grabbed Mu Yegui's arm and said anxiously, "Come back!"

Mu Yegui looked at Ke Ya in confusion and asked, "Didn't you want to know who it was?"

"But we can't alert them. What if they discover our purpose?" Ke Ya frowned. Shouldn't Mu Ye Gui have been more cautious in the past? Or has she always been like this, but Ke Ya just didn't realize it back then?

"What do you want to do?" Mu Yegui stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

"Let's gain trust through a subtle, chance encounter..." Koya said thoughtfully, stroking her chin.

"They didn't know who the Eighth Princess was, so even if they met her by chance, they wouldn't know."

"I know! The Eighth Princess, also known as the Little Princess, has a peculiar habit: she likes to wear red shoes. All we need to do is find the girl wearing red shoes! That person must be the Eighth Princess." The advantage of cleaning is that you can overhear all sorts of information without making a sound.

Mu Yegui nodded, his cool silver eyes fixed on Ke Ya. This person's mission was a bit strange...
