“Patient confidentiality, I just talked about this issue.” The old doctor placed both hands behind his back and expressed slowly and calmly: “My eyes aren’t good. I didn’t see clearly; my memory has also gotten poor. I don’t know.”
In this moment, Nalun practically wanted to reach out both hands and give this virtuous elder a hug!
Sirius: “Not a problem. I can help you remember.”
The old doctor gave him an unconvinced sweep of his eyes. Then he saw the young lad take out an investigation warrant.
Sirius expressed that the person he helped a few days ago was very likely related to the Scepter case. He hoped that the old doctor would fulfill his duty as a citizen and help provide clues for the nation to find the Scepter and remove the Insectoids’ sinister forces from Asha.
The old doctor hesitated.
Until Sirius pulled out his personal comp and clicked into the payment page……
After seeing the number on the screen clearly, he decisively said: “Oh, that person. He was somewhat shy. However, everyone that comes here to find me for the first time all feel some mental burden. He wasn’t injured over a large area, but it was pretty serious. There was a ring through his nipple. If he waited a few more days, it probably would have become infected.”
Sirius’s expression changed: “How is he?”
“I gave him a prescription. Right now, he should have recovered completely.”
Sirius then asked a few more questions, which the old doctor answered and explained.
“The unfamiliar faces that come here seeking treatment do not want people to remember their faces. Therefore, I only saw a general idea. Furthermore, his beard was really too thick. I couldn’t discern his appearance at all.”
Sure enough, in this world, never count on others. In crucial times, one’s own cautiousness was most effective.
Nalun tugged on the butler and said in a meaningful tone: “How unfortunate. Originally, we thought we could find clues about the criminal here. Who would have expected the other to be so crafty.”
The Butler: “…….” Why are you saying this while looking at me?
Although strangely somewhat disappointed, the Butler still managed to accept this explanation easily: The two sirs had indeed come here for official business.
So it wasn’t what he had imagined…… ai.
At this time, the new pet of the Grand Duke of Vargo became impatient with the waiting.
“What’s taking so long?”
After taking off his sunglasses, he had a very outstanding appearance. However, a heavy sense of irritation hovered over his brows, making him look not very likable: “Old man, hurry up and give me medicine!”
Without even bothering to spare a sideways glance at the two other people within the room, he started to urge the doctor incessantly.
The old doctor sighed: “Where are you uncomfortable this time?”
“Stuffed too many things inside. It got injured.”
Nalun: “……”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
As a result, the old doctor walked towards his patient and sighed.
“Efwjlc mjiw. P’w mbwlcu ab ajxf j ibbx obg sbe. Mlgra ub lcrlvf jcv ijs vbkc……”
Ktf Deaifg kjr jiwbra rbwfktja fwyjggjrrfv.

Ktf kbgv erjuf tfgf kjr nfgs jevjmlber.
The Butler seemed to have realized it too and smiled awkwardly.
Nalun aptly suggested leaving. Sirius thought briefly and wanted to obtain a medical record from the old doctor before leaving.
“Don’t think about it. How could a clinic like this, that didn’t even have the complete certifications, have that kind of thing?
The Honored Prince, who only took 10 minutes to see the doctor and obtained his prescription back then, mercilessly disclosed the truth.
Sirius seemed persuaded. He could only regretfully agree to leave.
Just then, a strange cry of pain suddenly came from inside the room. Nalun’s eyelids twitched wildly as he grabbed Sirius and left this unholy place.
On the opposite side of the clinic, under a certain tree, a red haired shortie had already maintained the same position for a long time. He was currently facing the biggest riddle in life: His own idol was suspected to have taken pictures with someone outside of a certain private clinic, chatted, then taken a picture together, then chatted again. After entering the clinic, a long time passed before he was dragged away.
Yet this clinic was really rather suspicious. The wording on the billboard above would make a pure and innocent man like Nick take detours to avoid it.
Yet they……. not only did they enter it, they even stayed inside for such a long time. This really made it hard for people not to overthink.
Furthermore, their previous location…… was the onsen clubhouse.
Onsen……
Sometimes, that was also a suspicious place. Connecting both places, it became even more suspicious.
Nick, who was immersed in his imagination, felt completely dumbfounded. So much that he almost forgot his boss’s instructions and watched wide-eyed as the two people gradually moved away from him.
Just at this time, his personal comp sounded. Answering it in a daze, he mumbled ‘ah’.
“Nick, where’s the Honored Prince?”
He stammered: “At……. LuoRi Volcano.”
“Oh, it’s like this. An issue occurred. You must watch him closely.”
Nick nodded his head. Then he remembered that his boss couldn’t see him on the other side of the personal comp. Therefore, he gave an ‘en’.
“Pull yourself together!”
Nick: “……” Although he did his best to puff out his skinny chest, this red headed shortie clearly still hasn’t recovered from the blow.
He suspected that his idol had developed an unusual relationship with someone else. However, in front of his ‘love rival’, he didn’t even have the will to fight. He even kind of wanted to turncoat. Towards this kind of himself, he felt both exasperated and disdain, practically disappointed with himself.
He deeply felt that he shouldn’t be so superficial and must gather his energy to at least strive to be an ambitious type of man.
However, by the time he made his decision, his target had already sat into his idol’s car and vanished into the busy streets of the Imperial Capital.
Nick: “……” Forget it. He got ready to start writing his 10 thousand-word essay of reflection.
On the way back, Nalun contacted the Charvey family’s private lawyer.
“I didn’t think there’d be a day where I’d have to serve you this entire lifetime.” That golden haired, middle aged man smiled very candidly: “Yet the first one is immediately a serious criminal accusation, hahaha!”
Ha?
Nalun narrowed his eyes, a darkness almost surging beneath his eyes.
His silence attracted the lawyer’s attention.
The other coughed and said: “To be honest, your affair is a bit troublesome.”
No matter how you explain it, maintaining distance with Insectoids should be the normal behavior during this kind of tense period. Yet as someone with high authority, Nalun insisted on making friends with a bug. This was something very thought-provoking.
“If it were someone else, I might not even accept this case.” Treason was a very sensitive crime. He wouldn’t attempt to protect the criminal.
Nalun understood what he meant and gave thanks. Then he told the lawyer the script that he planned to say.
During this time, the lawyer made noises of acknowledgement from time to time, expressing that he was listening seriously behind the personal comp.
After both sides finished exchanging info, Nalun humbly asked for his wise opinion.
“Unreasonable areas all over the place, yet at the same time, conforming with logic. Your highness, no matter what happens, I will do my best.”
“…… What does that mean?”
The lawyer said seriously: “Be mentally prepared.”
“Lan Jia escaped.” Sirius suddenly said.
Nalun, who just hung up on the call with the lawyer, looked towards him in confusion.
Sirius reached out a hand and placed it on a gray colored button on the control panel. With a light press, the seat under Nalun slowly moved over to the driver’s seat, only stopping when it was very closeby.
Sirius pointed at the news he just received, saying: “He was rescued by someone.”
Nalun turned his head over to take a look and discovered it was a message sent by Andrew.
“Just who is Lan Jia?”
Sirius said: “A talented individual amongst the younger generation of Insectoids. Thanks to his outstanding appearance and expert skills in deceit, he’s fooled many people.”
Nalun thought expressionlessly: His buddy Alida might be included in the group of people he’s fooled.
“It’s reported that he’s a hot candidate for this scramble for the Scepter.” Sirius then said: “A few weeks ago, he suddenly vanished without a trace. As it turned out, he had infiltrated into the Imperial Capital of Asha.”
His escape signified a series of unknown results.
As an Insectoid, who had brazenly trespassed into the forest and even caused chaos on the day of the Hunting Festival, Lan Jia’s criminal charges were final and severe. The higher ups of the Emperor have no choice but to hold a conference, demanding an explanation from the leaders of the Insectoids while expending all efforts to capture the criminal.
Just this time, a ground shaking secret suddenly appeared in the intergalactic net.
The reason why the Mist Bug could silently infiltrate into the Imperial Capital, and enter the forest without even alarming the guards, was because there was a traitor within the Imperial Capital!
The crowd, who loved to gossip and eat melons, were exceptionally furious. Although they loved to complain about Asha’s everything, they didn’t permit anyone to genuinely insult and humiliate their motherland!
However, this was a matter of great importance. They couldn’t criticize randomly without getting the facts straight.
Therefore, the crowd suppressed their bitter detest and fury towards the traitor and very reasonably started to analyze the article. The conclusion they made, however, was: Reasonable and with evidence, without any flaws in the logic! The likelihood of authenticity was a high 90%!
–There’s actually someone amongst the nobility who would collude with Insectoids, and even willingly offer up the Asha Empire’s heirloom, the Scepter?!
And this disgraceful little villain… just happened to be Nalun Charvey, that Honored Prince who was supposed to have an inharmonious relationship with Admiral Sirius; the one who was just recently listed as the #1 most likely to steal the Scepter, and also the main organizer of this year’s Hunting Festival– Someone who had full power to help the enemy break through the guards and enter the forest!
Furthermore, he was also on the list of guests for the Princess’s birthday banquet.
The interweb exploded like a boiling pot. Nalun Charvey’s name appeared before the crowd’s eyes once more, one wave surpassing the next, and fainting heading towards infamy. The crowd, who had just gained a budding favorable opinion towards him because of the ‘back view incident’, instantly stifled the small flame in their hearts. Plenty of veteran fans, who paid close attention to the Admiral, released information about how Nalun had provoked the Admiral countless times in the past.
The ‘feeding grapes incident’ also gained a different flavor.
After a change in impression, the world no longer looked the same.
The person posting the information was very cautious. By the time technological savvy individuals deciphered their location, the other had already disappeared.
Meanwhile, the Honored Prince, who was suspected of spying for the enemy, suddenly attracted everyone’s attention.
“Someone is fanning the flames in the background. It’s Lan Jia.” Sirius’s voice sounded next to Nalun’s ear.
Nalun looked at the malicious speculations about him inside the personal comp, expression extremely unsightly. Suddenly, his vision blurred. The large palm of the Imperial Admiral covered the screen.
“No need to care about these.”
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(ŐωŐ人)
If his vision blurred, wouldn’t the Admiral cover his eyes instead of the screen? :0 I’d like it if it was about covering the eyes >///<
thanks for the chapter!
