The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

"Just sit back, watch the show, and enjoy the spectacle!"

"Um……"

The maids were gossiping, but Kurara and Lorenve went to a side hall.

As Lorenwei approached, Kurara quickly left, walking towards the side hall where she and her mother had been quietly observing, saying, "There are too many people here, it's inconvenient. Come with me."

Apart from Lorenwei, no one dared to follow.

Everyone could tell that the atmosphere seemed a little strange.

Even though Her Highness's face is covered, everyone recognizes her. Why is that?

Everyone was naturally surprised that Princess Lorenvie was so shy. To outsiders, Lorenvie was a girl. But to Kurara, while Lorenvie had previously been causing trouble at the Percy Palace, her appearance now gave the impression of her bringing her boyfriend home!

Kurala felt her face burning, so she simply wrapped a face towel around her neck.

Lorenwei was both delighted and apprehensive, and quickly followed her princess wife.

Behind them, the maids watched as the princess left quickly, while the female kidnapper followed closely behind.

"Huh? Doesn't this look a bit like my dad getting caught doing something wrong by my mom?"

"Come to think of it, I also feel like it's a bit like the way my neighbor scolds her husband..."

Do you live next door to me?

"Did you just find out?"

"You were spying on our house?"

"Who's spying on whom? There's a hole in my bathroom wall..."

"Where?"

"Of course there is! Otherwise, why would your mother be scolding your father?"

"..."

The maids chattered amongst themselves as they ate melons and watched the show.

It was the middle of the night, yet everyone was still very excited.

"That's all, nothing more," came Queen Percy's voice.

"Yes." The maids immediately bowed and took their leave.

They were usually playful and mischievous, but now that their master had given the order, they could no longer act recklessly. The maids dutifully took their leave.

The guards looked at His Majesty the King.

King Percy strode to greet the Queen as she slowly approached, and asked urgently, "My Queen, what has happened? Does Kurara know Princess Chihaya?"

The Queen suppressed a laugh, not wanting to burst out laughing in front of everyone, and said, "It's a long story, but to put it simply, even if someone hurts you, she won't hurt you."

"Even if someone hurts you, she won't hurt you?" These words exploded like a magic bullet among the maids who hadn't completely left.

None of the maids dared to exclaim, but they exchanged excited glances, their gossip burning brightly.

what does this mean?

It's absolutely impossible to cause harm?

Even lovers can hurt each other. Unless...

An illegitimate daughter?!

Many maids, with their unparalleled talent for gossip and rich experience, instantly came up with this special word in their minds!

That blue-haired girl is the old king's illegitimate daughter!

Oh dear, His Majesty the King has not taken a concubine for many years. I thought he was a respectable man, but I never imagined that he had been having a frivolous life outside!

The maids quickened their pace, swiftly leaving the Queen and King's area to return and enjoy the gossip.

Who was that girl who had such an elegant demeanor, beautiful appearance, and high skills, but also had a bad temper?

She is definitely the king's illegitimate daughter!

A pitiful illegitimate daughter raised by her mother alone!

She arrived and helped the king defeat the enemy; this was fulfilling her filial duty as a daughter!

Killing the enemy while burning down the palace is the resentment of growing up alone for more than ten years!

Kidnapping the king to demand a ransom for the princess is a manifestation of the resentment of someone who envies the princess for being able to grow up in her father's arms!

It's confirmed! Everything went very smoothly!

Many of the maids had already begun to construct the entire storyline in their minds.

One can imagine that the next day, news would likely spread of how the old king fought his way to the battlefield, collapsed in a small mountain village covered in blood, and had a one-night stand with a village woman...

Wait a minute, where did this village woman get such a beautiful daughter? She must have had a passionate night with some kind of forest spirit or cave fairy, which is why her daughter is coming to find her family!

Many of the maids have already begun to enrich and complete the story!

The Queen was unaware that her casual remark about the relationship between her son-in-law and father-in-law had directly created the biggest gossip in the country.

At this moment, Her Majesty the Queen was having her guards return to their posts, only arranging the same security forces as usual to accompany her, before returning to the VIP room with His Majesty the King.

The guards were somewhat puzzled, but they obeyed orders and dispersed. Most went to rest, but quite a few began gossiping with the maids…

It goes without saying that Queen Percy explained the situation to the old king in the VIP room.

Kula and Lorenwei entered the side hall. Kula, worried that someone might be eavesdropping, kept closing the secret passage.

Then, Kurala took Lorenve's hand and led her to the secret room.

Her hands were so soft, just like a girl's. That was the first thing I noticed when Lorenkula held Lorenvi's hand.

Where are Loren's hands? They seem... just as soft. But why haven't I noticed them before?

Was it something I deliberately ignored? Or was it that I didn't want to see through her disguise?

Actually, I had thought about these things many times when I was wasting time in Khurara and refusing to return home.

The images of Loren and Lorenvi gradually merged in her heart. Or rather, her feelings for Loren slowly merged with her friendship with Lorenvi.

Kula stopped in her tracks as she led Lorenwei to the secret room.

After being led here by Kula, Lorenvi's heart finally settled down. She definitely wasn't as angry as before, otherwise she wouldn't have given me a chance to be alone.

However, Lorenwei also dared to speak out.

She kept her head down, like a child who had done something wrong.

Kurara waited with her back to Lorenwei for a long time, but heard no sound. She peeked back and saw Lorenwei digging at the ground with her toes, looking like a child who had done something wrong.

"If you dig any further and damage the marble tiles of my Kingdom of Posi, you'll have to pay for it!" Kurara pulled off her face mask and said fiercely to Lorenwei.

Lorenwei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a smile, "Haha, Kurara, you're finally not angry anymore."

She reached out and grabbed Kula's hand.

Kurara shoved her hand away, saying, "How dare you hold someone's hand like that?"

Kurara was even angrier when her hand was easily shaken off...

“You were just pulling me along…” Lorenwei looked astonished.

Kurara choked for a moment, paused, and then scolded, "Idiot..."

If it were someone more clever, they might have kissed right then and there; after all, a wall slam can dispel all worries.

But Lorenwei is a total straight man, a tough guy who never did anything to the female elf Sylph who came to him in his previous life, so he has no idea how to control the atmosphere.

Moreover, even if Lorenwei had such thoughts, she had psychological trauma, wondering if a kiss before the age of sixteen would cause abnormal physical development.

"Haha, I am a little stupid." Hearing Kurara say that she was stupid, Lorenwei could only scratch her head.

She made that gesture, and of course, her ahoge (cowlick) drooped down.

"Where are you stupid? You dealt with a puppet protector and even learned his skills, using them to your advantage and becoming even more powerful than the original. How can you call that stupid?"

"Uh, thank you for the compliment..." Lorenwei didn't know how to reply, and froze after saying thank you.

Seeing that Lorenwei remained silent, Kurara thought to herself, "What about your threat to my father?"

Didn't he lock you up?

"...Who said that?" Kurara wanted to laugh.

Lorenwei awkwardly scratched the back of her head: "No?"

Kurala deliberately feigned anger and asked, "How could my father possibly want to imprison me?"

“Uh… I think he wants you to come back and receive the second prince of the Fite Empire. This is a political marriage. You definitely won’t agree, and if the king gets angry, he’ll lock you up and force you to agree.”

"Idiot, how come you even understand that I definitely won't agree..." Kurara's face flushed slightly, but thankfully it wasn't noticeable in the dim candlelight.

Seeing Kula's emotional outburst, Lorenwei finally felt relieved and took Kula's hand in hers.

Kurala tried to break free again, but Lorenwei refused to let go.

After several attempts to shake off Lorenwei, Kurala let her hold her hand, but still glared at her: "Why are you using so much force? You're hurting me."

"I'm really worried about you, but I'm also afraid you won't forgive me, afraid you'll get sick from anger, afraid you'll actually go on a blind date because you're angry, and afraid that you..."

"Are you really worried about this much?" Kurara's words were reproachful, but a smile played on her lips.

"Won't she think I'm worrying too much and not manly enough?" The thought made Lorenvi feel insecure. After all, she was acting like a girl right now, and she was afraid Kurala would think she was too effeminate. She quickly changed the subject: "Ah, actually, I'm not worried that much..."

"..." Kurara took a deep breath and almost choked. "Where did you learn all those sweet nothings you said when you were in your Loren state?"

Lorenwei surrendered with her hands clasped: "It was Headmistress Bordonna's idea! It has nothing to do with me!"

"..." Kurala was so angry that her teeth itched.

It's not that the headmaster is meddling, but this guy is flirting with girls and then shifting the blame!

"Can't you have a little sense of responsibility?" Kurara smacked Lorenwei on the head a few times.

"Oh, I just wanted to make you happy~"

"What antenna? Someone taught you how to flirt with girls, and you're blaming them! I'd be ashamed of you if word got out!" Kula hit her a few more times before she could calm down.

If it were any other girl, hearing her shirk responsibility, they might think, "So this is all a lie?" But Kurara's thought was, "Lorenve actually has a bad habit? I have to make her realize her mistake and correct it!"
