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

It sounded like two maids were whispering to each other.

Lorenwei held back her voice and didn't move. She slowly blinked, regaining her vision, and looked around.

She found herself inside a pink gauze curtain, adorned with gold and jade, seemingly very expensive decorations—clearly the bedchamber of a princess.

Could this be Kurara's bed? Lorenwei caught a faint fragrance in her nose, a scent unique to a girl's room.

"This kidnapper is so beautiful! I took a good look at her while she was sleeping, and she's even prettier than our princess!"

"Yes, her skin is so delicate. It has a porcelain-like quality, which is a bit different from the princess's fair skin."

"But isn't she the princess's half-sister? Why is her skin texture different?"

"Huh?" Lorenwei was taken aback. "What? What? How am I half-sibling with Kula?"

If she hadn't witnessed Ethers and her husband raising her, and if she hadn't seen herself with features of both of them, Lorenwei might have seriously doubted her own origins.

"Hey, do you think half-sisters always look alike? There are twin sisters who don't look alike."

"By the way, Princess Kurara doesn't seem to mind at all; she accepted having a younger sister quite easily."

"Yes, I knew the princess was a gentle person, but now I find her even more approachable. She's so kind that she can even accept His Majesty the King's illegitimate daughter."

Illegitimate daughter? What nonsense! Lorenwei stood up.

"Honorable guest, you're awake?" Upon hearing the voice, two maids immediately came over. One maid pulled back the curtain, while the other came up to help Lorenwei with concern.

“I don’t need anyone to serve me, I’ll get up myself. How long have I been asleep?” Lorenwei refused, suddenly realizing that she was no longer wearing a maid’s uniform. “Huh? Who changed my clothes?”

She was wearing a light gold jumpsuit.

"Honorable guest, you have only been asleep for less than half an hour. After the royal physician examined you and confirmed that you were alright, Her Highness the Princess changed your clothes by herself. She has now been summoned by the Queen."

“…” Lorenwei thought to herself, “Is she getting revenge on me? Now she’s seen me naked.”

She got off the ground, feeling slightly dizzy, but she could clearly feel the effects of the healing magic continuing to work. It was probably the lingering magic from the royal physician's treatment, and she would soon be able to get rid of the discomfort.

“Take me to see Kurara.”

"Yes." A maid hurried out to report, while another maid guided Lorenwei slowly along.

This is one way to treat VIPs: don't stop them from doing what they want, but prepare in advance.

************

In the room where the King and Queen had previously discussed matters, Kurara was now being educated by Her Majesty the Queen.

Only Kurara and Her Majesty the Queen were in this small room.

"You threatened her like that? Forced her to agree to leave the sealing kiss for you?" The Queen covered her forehead, looking incredulous that her daughter could have done such a thing.

"..." Kula lowered her head, too embarrassed to look up.

The Queen sighed: "Do you know why your father, unlike those nobles, has never taken a concubine all these years?"

Kurala quickly replied, "My mother is still young and beautiful, and she can still assist in managing state affairs."

"These are only one aspect, not only these, but more importantly, you must be able to capture a man's heart!" The Queen held her hand in the air as if she were controlling a heart.

“Klorenwei isn’t a man. I just checked, she has nothing on top and nothing on the bottom…” Kurara suddenly realized she had spoken out of turn and abruptly stopped talking.

"..." The Queen looked at Kurara, whose face was starting to turn red, and chuckled. "Child, what I've taught you before is all theory. Today, let me tell you about practical experience!"

The queen began to chatter, instructing Khurara on how to control men.

Kula would suddenly realize something, then her cheeks would flush red, then she would stare blankly for a long time, then look at her mother with heartfelt admiration, her eyes filled with worship...

"Let me tell you, daughter, there's a technique. As long as you use your words a little more, you can easily coax a man into forming an unbreakable bond..."

"Oh dear, Mother, Mother, Lorenve doesn't have that kind of thing yet..." Kurara panicked, unable to imagine it.

"A hero's child wouldn't be short of money, would she? Let her buy it! It's just a ring!"

"..."

"Also, if it's at night, you can use your hands to do this and that..."

"No, no, Mother, I can't do this kind of thing..." Kurara was clearly unwilling and lacked confidence.

"Why not? What's so difficult about making some pretty and delicious desserts for her?"

"Mother, you don't know, she definitely cooks better than me..."

If someone were eavesdropping, they would likely misunderstand the mother and daughter's conversation in many ways... many, many ways...

However, Kurara was distracted, and the Queen quickly noticed: "How long have you been away from her? Are you going to go over already?"

Kurara said embarrassedly, "She...she's still unconscious..."

"Alright, go ahead, we'll continue another day," the Queen waved her hand.

Kurala quickly ran back.

Not far from the side hall, a maidservant came running towards them. Lorenwei could be seen approaching from a short distance away.

At the same time, a sudden burst of noisy chatter came from further away.

Meilan's voice rang out loudly in the night, "Fight! Sylph, don't hold back, if you can fight, why waste words?!"

Chapter 184 Shura City is a sacred place for cultivation, where ascension is particularly easy...

As Lorenvi was led by her maids toward a side hall in Kurara, the guards and maids she encountered along the way automatically bowed to her in respect.

It is the same level of courtesy as Princess Kula.

Everyone could tell that Lorenwei was wearing clothes that Her Highness had worn in her younger days.

This is quite intriguing. It further confirms the gossip about the illegitimate daughter! The poor king, unaware of what had happened, was branded a scoundrel and shamed.

Lorenwei figured that it must have been Kurala who helped her change; otherwise, if someone else had dressed her, she would have witnessed the transformation from asexual to girl.

Fortunately, Kurara was slightly larger than Lorenwei, and her clothes were probably worn by someone around eleven years old. The difference in height around her chest and other areas wasn't significant, while Lorenwei's clothes were barely form-fitting.

A clumsy maid suddenly bumped into Lorenvie at the corner and addressed her as, "Ah, Your Highness!"

“I’m not.” Lorenwei pouted.

"His Majesty the King will acknowledge your lineage!" This maid was really reckless, actually uttering gossipy speculations.

A maid next to her nudged her with her elbow, which startled her so much that she immediately shut up.

"..." So it wasn't the clothes that were mistaken, but gossip? Lorenwei rolled her eyes and quickened her pace.

Soon, she also saw Kurara walking towards her.

"Ah! Lorenve!" Kurara saw her from afar and immediately ran over, grabbing her arm and looking at her neck. "You're awake? I'm so sorry, I accidentally..."

"Just be gentler next time..." Lorenwei didn't mind.

"I'm sorry, I've just been promoted to Grand Knight and I'm not very familiar with my new powers." Kurara felt very guilty and distressed.

As she spoke, Kurara soon heard the maids around her begin to whisper among themselves.

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go back and talk." Kurala pulled Lorenwei back.

Was that your room just now?

Kurara nodded: "Yes, I've lived in that princess palace since I was little. My father only had one daughter, and he doted on me terribly."

The nearby maids muttered to themselves: From now on, there won't just be one princess...

Perhaps it was a momentary urge to compete for favor, or some kind of possessiveness, that caused her to strangle the illegitimate daughter, Princess Chihaya, unconscious? Sigh... Princess Chihaya is, after all, just an ordinary person; even the gentlest princess has her own little temper.

Seeing the two princesses walking hand in hand, many guards couldn't take their eyes off them. One was stunningly beautiful, the other exquisitely elegant; they could be called the two sisters of Percy.

The name Lorenwei was just beginning to circulate among a few people, and most were still unsure who she was. Therefore, the prevailing thought was still that she was an illegitimate child.

Some of the maids, their eyes sparkling, clasped their hands together in front of their chests and exclaimed sincerely, "It's such a blessing to be on duty today! To see such a beautiful sight is so lucky. I feel like happiness has descended upon me..."

However, one of the maids asked curiously, "Well, it's understandable that their appearances are so different, but why is the Second Princess's chest..."

"They must be twin flowers descended from heaven to earth. To avoid them being too perfect, the gods diminished the beauty of the second princess."

“That makes sense!” Many of the maids agreed with this view.

If the second princess, with such a perfect face, also had a full bust like Princess Kula, how could other women survive?

Kurara returned to her bedroom and pulled Lorenwei inside, but then felt a little embarrassed.

She felt incredibly shy letting her sweetheart into her room. Before, she had fainted, so she hadn't had many opportunities, but now things were different.

"Hey, don't look around like that," Kurara said shyly, letting go of Lorenvi's hand.

"We've already slept together, what else is there to worry about?"

Kurara said shyly, "Who, who slept with you? Don't talk nonsense!"

At that moment, Meilan's voice came from afar.

"Go ahead and fight! Sylph, don't hold back, if you can fight, why waste words?!"

Upon hearing this, Lorenwei immediately jumped up: "Kulala, wait for me! Meilan is going to cause trouble!"

She rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.

"I wonder who's causing the most trouble." Kurara pouted. But she quickly noticed that there were maids and guards watching her, so she quickly regained her dignified princess demeanor and slowly walked towards the direction where Lorenvi had gone.

"Meilan, don't do it!" Lorenwei shouted.

Fortunately, thanks to Her Majesty the Queen's prior care, the guards were still quite polite to Sylph and Melanie.

"I heard Lorenve's voice! Stop hitting her! Stop hitting her!" Sylph also tried her best to stop Melanie from hitting her, and nothing went wrong.

"Hey~ Lorenwei, you weren't arrested?" Meilan stood on tiptoe and looked at Lorenwei.

Some observant guards and maids, upon hearing this name, began to wonder: Who is Lorenwei? Could it be a pseudonym for Princess Chihaya?

Poor Lorenwei, even her real name has been distorted by gossip.

Of course, in a way, her real name... well, it's not Mu Zhe in this life, it can only be Lorenwei.

"Are you alright?" Meilan grabbed Lorenwei's arm and looked her up and down. "It's good that you weren't forced to be a bride. Didn't someone from this town say during the day that it used to be common practice here to force brides to have their wedding night?"

"It's not about catching the bride for the wedding night, it's a custom of kidnapping the bride..." Lorenwei quickly corrected, as it sounded like they were talking about completely different things, one was an action movie and the other was a documentary.

Melanie was only checking if Lorenwei was injured or showed signs of being coerced. Siluf, on the other hand, watched coldly, constantly scrutinizing Lorenwei's clothes.
