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

Lorenvi's powerful healing had also healed the minor injuries in other areas. The Second Prince, still basking in the afterglow of the light magic's healing effects, was now brimming with vitality.

"I...I think I'm all better..." Second Prince Kendi rubbed his neck, stunned for a moment as if in a daze, and murmured, "My neck still hurts a little, but it's like I slept in a stiff neck..."

"Kende—!"

"Kende—!"

The female warrior and the female administrator pounced on her.

Click——

The second prince's neck made another crisp sound.

"Wow—" Both women shuddered in fright at the same time.

"It seems like nothing's wrong, it's just that my vision suddenly jolted and tilted." But the Second Prince's head only tilted slightly, as if one side of his neck was not supporting him properly.

Lorenwei exclaimed, "The crooked-necked tree prince has been born?!"

Chapter 202 This crooked tree can understand her! Uh...maybe...

The second prince's neck is crooked.

It really was a crooked tree… Lorenve’s nickname made Kurara and Sylph almost laugh. But the other party had indeed escaped death.

Laughing at it would be extremely disrespectful.

Kurara quietly approached and gratefully took Lorenvi's hand. She knew Lorenvi was doing this to save people for the Grand Duchy of Posey, which could at least delay the outbreak of war.

War was bound to break out sooner or later, but the Grand Duchy, being the weaker party, hoped it would be delayed.

Kurara thought she was being discreet, but Siruf's mind was not on the Second Prince at all. She noticed every little thing the princess did.

As soon as Lorenwei's left hand was held in the princess's warm hand, her right hand was quickly pulled by another soft little hand.

Sylph also stood next to Lorenvi, but her gaze was fixed on the Second Prince.

As a result, Lorenwei was flanked by two beautiful women, one on each side, who were both pulling at her.

On the Second Prince's side, two ordinary-looking women were crying intensely. They would not only cry, but also laugh a couple of times before continuing to cry.

They were terrified by the fact that the Second Prince's head was facing backwards; they even seriously considered dying with him.

Fortunately, Lorenve's treatment gave them new hope, but the last one or two cracking sounds were like two heavy hammer blows, striking the hearts of the female warrior and the female administrator one after the other.

"I...it's all my fault! Your neck is crooked..." The female administrator cried uncontrollably. Her hand still felt like it was cramping, but she didn't care. She just regretted not exercising regularly, because it would cramp up at such a crucial moment.

"It's nothing, look at me, I'm perfectly fine. It's just that my perspective is a little off." The Second Prince seemed unconcerned, straightening his head slightly, but quickly tilting it to one side again.

The female officer felt even more sorry for him when she saw this, and reached out to help him straighten up, but found it had no effect. She cried out, "I... I'm sorry for the rest of my life. Will you always have to walk with your neck crooked like this?"

"Don't cry, I'm alive and well, aren't I? So what if my neck is crooked? It's better than losing my life." The Second Prince comforted him, "But you definitely owe me for life, and I will never let you go in this lifetime."

"Honestly, talking nonsense at a time like this," the female administrator scolded, her voice a mix of tears and laughter.

Kurara and Sylph didn't want to see them showing affection, so they quietly left.

The second prince tilted his head and picked up the flute from the ground, holding it up to his now-healed trachea: "This flute actually saved my life. I was suffocating just now. I'm going to keep it safe."

Lorenwei examined the Second Prince again, but still couldn't find a new solution. With a clever twist, the Second Prince survived, but his neck was crooked. The sudden movement caused a misalignment in the neck's repair process, and Lorenwei subconsciously intensified the treatment, resulting in it healing completely.

"My neck tells me I'm in the correct position, but my vision tells me I'm a little off," the Second Prince said.

Lorenwei tilted her head and looked at him: "To fix it, we need to break it and then reconnect it, which means repeating the steps we just went through. How about we do it again?"

"No, no, no." The second prince shook his head vigorously.

He tilted his head and shook it, as if he were shaking his head. Fortunately, the angle was not large, only about fifteen degrees, but anyone could see it.

"I don't think it's going to heal on its own. Why don't you wear a knight's metal collar every day to hold your neck in place and slowly correct it?"

“That’s not bad,” the Second Prince said with delight, then turned to the female official and said, “You’re to prepare my collars every day as punishment.”

"Really..." the female administrator pouted, but she was happy and sweet.

"If you two keep showing off your love, I'll knock you back!" Lorenwei couldn't stand it.

"Hey, hey. Those two beautiful women next to you were holding your hands just now. Even though my head is tilted, I could still see them." The Second Prince was indeed unreliable; he started to retaliate as soon as he recovered from his illness.

“When I knock back, I'm knocking on the other side.”

"I was wrong." The second prince admitted his mistake very quickly.

Lorenwei didn't waste any more time arguing with him. Once she was sure he wasn't in any real danger, she immediately left the tent.

Inside the tent, only the Second Prince and his two childhood sweethearts remained. Despite their concern for his crooked neck, he nonchalantly remarked, "It's nothing, it's just crooked to one side, right? Have you forgotten? The Third Prince's neck is crooked to the same side too, what a coincidence, hahaha. You ask who the Third Prince is? He's on me... Hey, don't hit him, or you'll really make it crooked even more!"

This guy just got the job and he's already showing off his skills. He deserves to have a crooked neck. Lorenwei despises him.

But thinking about the ridiculous jokes he'd make later, Lorenwei actually felt a little envious. She still had two years before her life was settled. Then she wouldn't be able to tease [Second Wei] with Kula and the other girls.

As soon as they stepped out of the tent, the king and queen came to greet them.

"Lorenve, you are absolutely wonderful!" The Queen came over and gave her a gentle hug.

The king also expressed his gratitude.

Kurara came out of the tent first and naturally spread the word that the Second Prince was not dead.

The Second Prince's guards also knelt on one knee, expressing their gratitude to Lorenwei.

“Miss, we would like to ask you something…” Several priests and physicians had no doubts about what the princess said, and were amazed by Lorenwei’s medical skills, so they came up to ask her for advice.

“Bold, meticulous, powerful magic, and strong self-control,” Lorenwei briefly told her, then pressed further, “The royal guards have made some progress in their investigation, haven’t they? It’s time for us to retaliate!”

"Yes! It's confirmed that the Corpse Protector fled eastward! Guards have already given chase!"

"That's good!" Lorenwei gave a thumbs up.

At this moment, the second prince also came out. After all, it wasn't good to stay in the tent for too long, and there were definitely many people waiting for him outside.

When he came out, many guards cheered.

The most excited were the guards brought by the Second Prince. Many of them were in tears, seeing their master safe and sound... well, just with a slightly crooked neck.

For a moment, several guards were stunned, but soon no one cared. Having recovered from a near-death injury, what did a slightly crooked neck matter? After all, the Second Prince had stood up perfectly fine.

"That's no big deal! What grown man doesn't have a crooked hair?" a guard cheered.

"Yes, I'm crooked too!" another guard cheered.

"Your neck isn't crooked."

"It's not here."

Yes... I'm not talking about that place, don't get the wrong idea!

Uh... Anyway, whether the idea is crooked or not doesn't matter. Anyway, it doesn't mean crooked, it means... Never mind, I won't explain anymore. Just don't misunderstand.

The King and Queen of the Grand Duchy of Percy came up to express their concern. The Second Prince first expressed his gratitude and made it clear that hunting down the Black Robe was the inescapable responsibility of both sides. He responded to the cheers of the crowd with some words of thanks.

The Second Prince gave a perfunctory response to everyone present, but Lorenwei couldn't wait any longer and had already started asking the guards for directions.

"By the way, what about the injured one?" Lorenwei asked the king's chief guard, as they were acquaintances.

"They're torturing him."

“Okay, let’s add some more torture. For example, cut off a piece of his finger and stick a needle into the bone fragments, he’ll confess to everything.”

"..." The head guard shuddered at the thought; Miss Lorenwei was truly ruthless.

Lorenwei squinted at the direction the captain of the guard pointed out, and began to wonder whether she should go after them now or not.

How dare they cause trouble on the territory I'm in charge of, and even boast that I can't protect them? Even junior nurses can leak, why should I be obligated to protect them? Lorenwei was indignant and prepared to fight back.

That guy called Corpse Protector, right? Just wait until I kill you, just like those others, I'll blast you to smithereens!

After finishing his business with the other princes, the second prince saw Lorenwei and prepared to come over to express his gratitude.

"Miss Lorenwei seems to be threatening." The female warrior, who possessed martial arts skills, sensed that Lorenwei was about to deal with someone.

"I can guess what she's going to do, do you believe me?" the Second Prince said smugly. "She's going to deal with the Corpse Protector now."

"Did you hear that?"

“Of course, I was still conscious when I lay there.” The Second Prince called over several of his trusted guards. “You will accompany Miss Lorenwei to… never mind, Miss Lorenwei insists on dealing with the Corpse Protector herself.”

"Huh? She doesn't need help?"

"No need. She can keep me alive even with my neck twisted. Don't you all know how capable she is? The Corpse Protector is nothing in front of her!" The Second Prince felt that everything was going according to his calculations. "Given Miss Lorenwei's arrogance, she must feel ashamed that the Corpse Protector could injure the person she was supposed to protect right in front of her. Especially since the Corpse Protector even left a message to provoke her, it's simply a slap in the face."

The female administrator thought for a moment: "What if Miss Lorenwei needs help?"

The second prince said with absolute certainty, "No way, that would take an incredibly thick skin. She'd definitely have to redeem herself..."

As he was saying this, Lorenwei suddenly turned to the Second Prince and said, "Hey, Crooked Tree~ Quickly send out a few of your experts to come with me to capture someone!"

"Don't call me that in public, let's talk about it in private." The Second Prince's face fell. It was unclear whether it was the nickname that was unpleasant or the fact that his assessment was completely off and he had lost face.

At least, the female warrior and the female administrator both burst out laughing.

Lorenwei: "Okay, Crooked Tree, I'll be careful not to say it in public. Send someone quickly! Don't be slow, Crooked Tree."

Second Prince: "..."

He assigned the guards he had just summoned to Lorenwei, then crossed his arms and said smugly to the female warrior and the female administrator, "Next, she will immediately set off to take revenge!"

"Huh? Where's Meilan?" Lorenwei asked.

Who is Meilan? Many people don't know.

“We’ll find Meilan first, then we can set off,” Lorenwei said, frowning.

"...Second Prince, you guessed wrong again," the female warrior laughed.

Second Prince: "...I don't believe it, I'm sure I'll guess right!"

He muttered to himself, "I wouldn't say I'm a prophet, but I can at least deduce some people's temperaments and personalities. How come I can't see through this Lorenwei?"

Lorenwei searched everywhere for Meilan, and Kurara quickly came over and said, "They said they chased after her, but it seems she ran in the wrong direction."

"Huh? You went the wrong way?" Lorenwei blinked.

The captain of the guard explained, "Our great mage and great boxer have both gone east. But your red-haired companion is going west."

"Let's also head west and pursue them!"
