Chapter 172 The Temptation from a Noblewoman!

[Summary of Chapter 171 (which was reported and removed): The noblewoman is Queen Percy. Kurara learns that Lorenve has arrived and, through the mirror, sees Lorenve's Seville characteristics. She initially forgives Lorenve but will still torment her a bit, and incidentally discovers some of Queen Percy's fantasies...]

****** (The above does not include money) ******

This accidentally discovered secret room is a cluttered storage room filled with various items; let's call it that for now.

After looking through the storage room, Lorenwei mentally reviewed some ancient poems, such as those by Guo Mingde, a scholar from the Qing Dynasty: "Throughout my life, I have loved to compose poems, each word of which weaves a dragon shuttle."

At first, I thought this was a torture chamber, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a warehouse. After all, there weren't any bloody signs of torture.

But upon closer inspection, something just doesn't seem right.

This is like this, that is like that, all sorts of strange shapes...

Lorenwei began to recite some profound poems, such as "The poet who treads on snow is fond of it, and he comes to write poems every day with a cane" by Huang Geng, a poet from the Yuan Dynasty, and "I have a lifelong fondness for seeking secluded places, and I visit Longshan four or five times a year" by Shao Yong, a poet from the Song Dynasty.

These verses perfectly captured the emotions Lorenwei felt upon seeing the scene.

If this is where that noblewoman lived, then this is clearly her... no, it should be her toy storage room.

Yes, that's right, don't get the wrong idea, we're good kids.

Even though Lorenwei had been through countless film viewings in her past life, she still felt dizzy watching this now.

Lorenwei quickly retreated and closed the door.

Unfortunately, Kurara had already left the dark room and didn't follow Lorenve's lead to discover its secret. Of course, Kurara also didn't know which mirrors corresponded to which places, unlike Queen Percy.

Lorenwei wandered around the side hall like a headless fly, unable to find her way out.

Without road signs, she would be completely lost.

Could this be the Spider Cave? This humble monk is about to be trapped in a small space by a female demon, utterly exhausted... Lorenwei's mind wandered.

"Oh dear, young lady, are you lost?" came the noblewoman's voice.

When Lorenwei turned around, the noblewoman was smiling and asking her a question.

Queen Percy and Kula quickly discussed and decided that Kula would not show up, and that they would give Lorenwei some more tests or troubles to make her return to her parents' home seem more valuable!

Queen Percy shared the same view as Curara: since they had returned to their parents' home, they couldn't just go back with anyone so casually! Otherwise, wouldn't the value of this safe haven seem less dignified and precious?

"Haha, I was just looking for fun, and I was worried because I couldn't find you," Lorenwei laughed.

"You've been wandering around for quite a while, haven't you? Could it be that you are...?"

"I won't admit that I have no sense of direction, hahaha." Lorenwei awkwardly scratched the back of her head.

The Queen covered her mouth and chuckled, "There really is such an adorably clumsy fellow in the world, hehehehe."

Lorenwei didn't know that this noblewoman was Queen Percy and Kurara's mother. Hearing this, she felt that the word "stupid" was a bit harsh and couldn't help but want to retaliate slightly, and also get revenge for the basin hitting her head earlier: "By the way, I just saw a room with lots of fun things in it."

"Huh?" The Queen was taken aback.

"For example, the lamps that provide illumination are placed together with the tools for driving the horse-drawn carriage, which is a mess. I think this needs to be corrected, otherwise it will be difficult to handle if a fire breaks out."

"..." The queen did not understand for a moment.

Lorenve gave a few more examples, and this time the Queen understood. Her secret chamber had been discovered by chance!

Even if the queen had the thickest skin, she couldn't save face in front of her future son-in-law.

Furthermore, Lorenwei added a sarcastic remark at the end.

Lorenwei tossed her long blue hair, smiling gently as she said, "I believe everyone's preferences are their own, but I still suggest you see a doctor! Simply put, you can choose your own doctor based on your preferences!"

【Self-made medicine】!

As if severing countless barriers of time and space, the distant Saba Cathedral once again burst forth with divine light, and the Miracle Fountain gushed forth water again, prompting Bishop Harosa and his congregation to cheer with jubilation!

Although it wasn't as miraculously effective as before, instantly boosting the cultivation level of the followers present, the frequent appearances of the holy light still greatly encouraged them.

However, countless believers racked their brains but still couldn't understand the profound meaning of these four words.

Divine pronouncements are truly profound!

Many believers have abandoned deep thinking and have begun to blindly give thanks for God's grace.

[Self-Made Medical Advice]: Although XP is a personal choice, it is still recommended that you see a doctor.

Lorenve made this suggestion to Queen Percy.

This is supposed to be my future son-in-law! How could he give me such a suggestion?!

Queen Percy covered her face and ran away.

"Hey, um..." Lorenwei tried to stop her from leaving, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The queen circled around and found Kurara, who was hiding and observing quietly.

"Ah, Mother, weren't you going to tease her?" Kurala asked in surprise, cautiously keeping her distance so she couldn't hear what they were saying.

"I've been flirted with by her!" The Queen, recovering from her shock, gave him the middle finger in frustration.

"Huh?" Kurara didn't react at first, then quickly retorted angrily, "What happened? What did she do to offend you?"

"She said..." The Queen clicked her tongue a few times, realizing that even saying the words "self-made medicine" wouldn't explain "..."

How can you say the cause was that Lorenwei discovered her secret toy storage room? Otherwise, how do you explain the meaning of this statement? If you explain it clearly, won't your daughter despise you even more? Although Kurara isn't that kind of child, wouldn't this be too damaging to your image as a mother?

Kurara: "Mother? What's wrong?"

Queen Percy: "Abba, Abba, Abba..."

Kurara: "..."

On the other side, Lorenwei started getting lost again, like a headless fly.

Having finally managed to sneak out of the side hall and get back onto the road, Lorenwei was troubled again.

"I made a huge mistake! I shouldn't have come out alone!" Lorenwei felt deeply regretful.

Previously, they hadn't brought Sylph along because they were afraid Sylph would get jealous and cause trouble, and Melanie was too reckless and would ruin things. But now... they couldn't find their way!

I changed my walking angle and got lost again.

Even if I wanted to return to the palace where I lived, I would be powerless to do so...

"Lady Lorenwei, you seem to need help." A girl's voice came from behind.

Lorenwei quickly turned around, surprised: "The housekeeper?"

She still remembered the housekeeper; she was the middle-aged woman in a high-class maid's uniform who had always protected Kurara before Kurara left with the cavalry.

"You have a good memory," the housekeeper smiled. "I didn't expect to meet you here again so soon. Are you here to see Her Highness the Princess?"

The housekeeper was naturally sent by Khurara and the Queen.

From their secluded spot, they watched Lorenwei wander around, and both of them couldn't help but chuckle: Who would have thought that the descendant of a hero would be so directionally challenged?!

“Yes, yes! I’m here to see Princess Kurara. She has indeed returned to the palace, hasn’t she?” Lorenwei took two steps forward, almost grabbing the housekeeper’s sleeve as if afraid she would run away.

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Yes, they've returned to the palace. They just got back at noon today."

"Huh? She just got back?" Lorenwei exclaimed. "How could she just get back?"

"...On the way back, the princess fell ill because of your anger and only returned after resting for a night."

"Really? She's sick? What's wrong?" Lorenwei grabbed the housekeeper's arm. "How is she now?"

Before parting, Lorenwei had noticed that Kurara trusted the housekeeper greatly, and the housekeeper had repeatedly defended Kurara. The letter also mentioned that, besides her father and mother, the person Kurara trusted most was this housekeeper who had served her since childhood. Therefore, Lorenwei had no doubt about her words.

"It's probably because he got too angry and caught a cold." The housekeeper said with difficulty, "I wouldn't say it's life-threatening, but he feels quite unwell."

"Take me to see her, I know medicine!" Lorenwei was afraid that the medical skills in this world were inadequate and that a minor illness would turn into a serious one. What if it was a wound infection or something that led to sepsis or other systemic diseases? Without antibiotics, that would be a real problem.

Even cancer is manageable in this world; Lorenwei can find ways to treat it with holy magic or something similar. In the most severe cases, they could consider removing some tissue and using healing magic that is, in the context of another world, a miracle or tissue cloning, to regenerate the missing tissue.

Of course, this was merely a concept Lorenwei had conceived; it hadn't been tested on humans yet. However, the sheer number of rabbits that had died near Zerou City wasn't solely due to Lorenwei's cravings.

"You really do care about Her Highness the Princess." The housekeeper looked at Lorenwei, feeling that the princess's kindness had not been in vain.

"Of course!" Lorenwei hurriedly pulled at the housekeeper. "Take me to see her quickly!"

"It's difficult. Her Majesty the King has locked her up. Without his approval, it's unlikely she'll see anyone." The housekeeper looked worried and acted out the pre-arranged scene. "His Majesty the King wanted her to come back for a blind date, but the princess refused to agree, so she was locked up."

Lorenwei felt a pang of heartache, but her eyes held a resolute determination: "Kurara...where is she being held?"

Judging from her expression, the housekeeper believed that if she mentioned a place, Lorenwei would definitely go to break her out of prison.

"Your Highness, it seems she likes you very much too!" The housekeeper thought with satisfaction.

With a worried expression and superb acting skills, she said, "I don't know the location either. Think about it, His Majesty the King knows about my relationship with the princess, so of course he won't let me control it."

Lorenwei was so worried that she lost her composure. She was usually good at tricking people but didn't even realize she was being put on a show. She frantically shook the housekeeper's arm, "Is there any way to find out where Her Highness the Princess is being held?"

"Hmph, you want to know the solution? You can ask me." The noblewoman's voice rang out again.

Queen Percy emerged from the flowerbed.

"Greetings, Madam." The housekeeper acted out the pre-arranged script.

Queen Percy waved her away.

The housekeeper acted well; she hesitated for a moment before taking her leave.

Lorenwei hesitated for a moment, but didn't stop the housekeeper from leaving. She asked the lady she saw as a noblewoman urgently, "Why are you appearing and disappearing so mysteriously? Fine, I just need to know now, do you have a plan? How do you rescue Kurara?"

The noblewoman proudly raised her chin: "I know, and I also know that you are Lorenwei, who came all the way from the academy to take the princess back."

Lorenwei instinctively took a step back: "What else do you know?"

“You know just as much as Her Highness the Princess.” The noblewoman rested one hand on her arm and gently lifted her chin with the other, speaking slowly, “Actually, I recognized you the moment I splashed water on you. Blue hair, unparalleled beauty, do you know how much you resemble Aisses? Apart from the completely different temperament, your appearance is remarkably similar.”

"Mom's messing with me again," Lorenwei grumbled, her gaze hardening. "You just wanted me to come here..."

“That’s right. I can help you rescue Her Highness the Princess.” The noblewoman looked at Lorenwei smugly.

Lorenwei, however, was much calmer, staring intently at her as she asked, "But what is the price?"

"Heh, you're not stupid. It doesn't require any sacrifice; in fact, I benefit." The noblewoman revealed a cunning smile. "With the princess taken away by you, the queen is angered, and I have a chance to gain the king's favor! My relationship with him is just a hair's breadth away!"

“…” Lorenwei blinked, feeling that this explanation was quite reasonable.
