There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

Death...what's going on with death?

Volume 5: Chapter 55: Understanding

Dead...dead?

Doubts filled Talina's mind. Looking at Chen's face, which was already a little impatient, Talina began to doubt whether she had really made a mistake.

If Chen's sister is really dead, then who is the person he met in Ursus?

"She died when I was little. There's no need for me to lie to you about this."

Chen waved his hands and looked at Talina: "I know you are anxious, but this matter really has nothing to do with me."

Chen explained helplessly.

She understood Talina's anxiety. After all, she had been busy for more than a month and hadn't achieved anything. She would be anxious too.

But the fact is, she has searched everywhere at the Chen family, and all they replied to her was two words - no!

Blue hair, dragon clan, teacher or doctor, the scope of these conditions is not too big nor too small, and it is very troublesome to find them.

She had doubted herself before, just for a moment.

"I'll go to the police station later to ask you about the situation, but I can't guarantee that I'll have any information."

Talina's anxiety was beyond words. Seeing this, Chen simply picked up the coat on the sofa, put it on and prepared to go out.

Anyway, I've had enough rest after so many days, so I might as well go back to work early.

Seeing Chen about to leave, the suspicious Talina hurried to her and opened her arms to stop Chen.

"Wait a minute! What is your relationship with Wen Yue...Sister?"

After sharing the information she had found yesterday, Talina took the clothes from Chen's hand and said, "I...I'm not in a hurry. It's still your vacation, isn't it?"

"Sister Wenyue? She's my aunt? What happened to you today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Reaching out and gently stroking Talina's forehead, Chen felt Talina's body temperature and said puzzledly: "You don't have a fever?"

"Wait...Aunt?"

After hearing Chen's answer, Talina was stunned for a moment.

She had previously thought that the relationship between Chen and Wei Yanwu was not simple, but she did not expect that they were also relatives.

"There's nothing similar about them, right?"

Staring blankly at Chen's face, Talina compared it with the ancestor she remembered.

"Hasn't she told you before? I saw you chatting with her so well."

Raising an eyebrow at Talina, Chen waved his hand: "She is my aunt, and my biological mother is her husband's sister. There is indeed something between us."

"and many more!"

Before Chen could finish her words, Talina interrupted her.

"You mean... your biological mother is Wen... Wei Yanwu's... younger sister? Doesn't that make her... a princess?"

After extracting the key words from Chen's words, Talina suddenly remembered something she had forgotten.

That was the conversation that took place in the small inn where she and Tallulah were staying when they went to Dundelk.

"My mother is the princess of Dayan."

Talullah's words flashed before Talina's eyes.

It seems...the answer is clear.

"Well, it seems to be true. I'm not sure about this."

His eyes were evasive, and when he heard Talina mention her mother, a hint of unnaturalness flashed in Chen's eyes.

Because of her remarriage, her biological mother didn't like her very much, so in Chen's heart, the existence of her mother has always been an illusion.

Dispensable.

"So...what's your sister's name?"

At this point, all the clues have been matched. In order to confirm her answer, Talina asked her last question.

"I don't remember... Sorry, if there's nothing else, I'll go rest first."

Talina's relentless questioning made Chen feel uncomfortable.

She had tried her best not to think about it so that she wouldn't be trapped in the past, but now Talina brought it up again and again.

Turning around to leave, Chen tore open the two holes on his collar to make his breathing a little easier.

She was upset after eating breakfast and needed a quiet environment to "rest".

The moment Chen turned around, a pair of trembling arms grabbed her.

Chen wanted to pull her arm out, but then Talina's words made her give up the idea.

"Her name is Tallulah...right?"

The familiar name that had long left her came out of Talina's mouth and knocked on the door of Chen's heart.

.........

"How was it? Did you have fun?"

Wei Yanwu put the pipe in his hand upside down on the ashtray and tactfully stopped smoking.

Wen Yue stood in front of her, dissatisfaction between her brows: "I remember you said before that was your last pipe."

"It's indeed the last one. You've already picked up all the ones of that style."

Wei Yanwu laughed and changed the subject.

Wen Yue shook her head and didn't intend to continue to dwell on this point. Compared to this, she had some more important things to confirm with Wei Yanwu.

"Is that child...still there?"

Frowning at Wei Yanwu, Wen Yue, who knew him well, didn't wait for him to speak before quickly adding, "Don't try to fool me with your lies. I need to know the truth!"

"...What's the point of knowing these things?"

The moment Wen Yue asked the question, the expression on Wei Yangwu's face changed several times, and complex emotions washed over his body.

"So, what's the answer?"

"Falling into Kosice's hands, whether dead or alive...what's the point?"

Picking up the upside-down pipe, Wei Yanwu tapped it lightly on the table, and a wisp of green smoke floated out of the pipe.

Bringing the pipe to his lips, Wei Yanwu smacked his lips.

"The shadow of Ursus has been passed down for hundreds of years. During these years, the name Kosice has always existed, but the people who bear this name have always changed. Do you understand?"

The smoke obscured Wei Yanwu's face, making it difficult for Wen Yue to see clearly.

"Even if Tallulah were still alive, she would have become a different person by now..."

Wei Yanwu stood up from his seat and stood beside the bed, overlooking the dragon gate under his feet.

People on the streets were walking like ants, densely packed and crowded, but full of vitality.

"So you always knew she was still there, right?"

Standing behind her husband, Wen Yue held his hand.

"Eight years ago, the current Duke of Koschei died. Ursus sealed the news, but I still managed to find some fragments of it."

"If the truth of the matter is really as I know it, then..."

"I'm afraid... Tallulah is no longer here."

With his proud head slightly lowered, Wei Yanwu looked at the city beneath his feet with complicated eyes.

This was the spoils they had taken from Kosice, and it was proof of their relationship. They had vowed to transform this place into what they liked, a paradise.

But now he is the only one standing here.

Of the people who once walked side by side with him, only Wen Yue was left.

"...By the way, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

After a brief recollection, Wei Yanwu concealed the strangeness that he had revealed.

"The child living in Xiao Chen's house is looking for someone."

Looking at Wei Yanwu with complicated eyes, Wen Yue knew that things might get serious.

If it is true as Wei Yanwu said, then the person who meets Talina's requirements should be right next to her, right?

And...if Chen knew that Tallulah was still alive, who knows what she would do. With her temper...

I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to resolve.

More than ten years of concealment and deception, even if done with good intentions, is a very serious matter.

"The Grand Knight Commander's child? Looking for someone? Who?"

After hearing Wen Yue talk about this, Wei Yanwu also became interested.

Chen has worked in the Guards Bureau for several years, and apart from Xingxiong and Shi Huaiya, there are few people she can consider friends with.

Now, the sudden appearance of Liberi is able to coexist peacefully with the child with thorns on his body and who resists everything. This seems to be a rare thing to Wei Yanwu.

"Maybe looking for... Huijie..."

After hesitating, Wen Yue finally expressed her guess.

"If I hadn't..."

Holding Wei Yanwu's hand, Wen Yue was ready to tell her husband all the news she had learned from Talina in the past few days.

But just as she began to speak, there was a commotion outside Wei Yanwu's office door.

Volume 5: Chapter 56: Black Cape: Can't Provoke, Run

"Where did you hear that name?!"

The familiar yet unfamiliar words reappeared in Chen's ears, making her stop.

Turning back to look at Talina, Chen pulled his hand out of Talina's arms and took a few steps back.

Tallulah had left her more than ten years ago. This was a fact that Chen was extremely sure of. She saw her sister being taken away with her own eyes and watched her hand slip from hers.

But what about the person standing in front of me now?

How did she know that name?

"You snuck into my room?"

Looking at Talina suspiciously, Chen turned to look at his door.

Could it be that he sneaked in while I was away?

This shouldn’t be the case... Didn’t I lock the door?

"It's really you..."

Seeing Chen's intense reaction, Talina was also certain.

The person I have been looking for is right beside me...

Walking forward, Talina was about to say something to Chen, but Chen dodged back as if he had seen something strange.

"What am I? My sister..."

Chen couldn't continue speaking until he was halfway through.

Ever since Talina said that name, she could no longer be sure whether the existence that disappeared from her hands had completely left her.

A person who has disappeared for more than ten years, is there anyone else who would remember her name except herself?

I'm afraid even Wei Yanwu's memory of her has become vague?

"Where did you know this name..."

After realizing that she had the thought of escaping just now, Chen felt a little embarrassed. She stopped herself from retreating and chose to face the reality that was already before her.

"In the snowy plains of Ursus, she was there... once."

When Talulah was mentioned, Talina's joy at finding her sister suddenly faded.
