Chapter 65: Well…it seems like i discovered something incredible!!

“I”—the girl opened her mouth slightly.

Those blue eyes, which seemed as deep and still as a cold pool since birth, now showed a rare flicker of emotion.

Even some of the innocent girls nearby could notice it.

Of course, what surprised her even more was that Ruilier, standing before her, actually responded to her words?

And it wasn’t just a simple “hm”…

It was well known that this icy girl was notoriously cold and indifferent throughout the Hunter Blade Mercenary Group.

The only person who could get her to speak was the Mercenary Captain, who was like a father figure to her…

And now, a casual question from her actually got a response…though nothing special, it still made the girl feel unexpectedly honored.

“It’s just…a strange feeling.”

Hiss…is this really Ruilier?

She spoke this much all at once today?

Has a miracle happened?

“Um, is it because the mission failed this time?” the girl tentatively asked.

But…

Ruilier seemed only a bit dazed from just waking up.

Soon after, her eyes returned to their usual stillness, without any hint of emotion.

In response to the girl’s question, this icy lady just slowly shook her head, then quickly withdrew back into her sleeping bag.

Perfect, no extra expressions or movements—this is the Ruilier I know!

Although ignored, the girl still nodded subconsciously.

Forget it…

I don’t get it~

Scratching her head in confusion, she lay back down and gradually drifted off to sleep…

I really am useless…

Outside the Thirteenth Mine, Jenny squatted on the ground, clutching her head in frustration.

Why am I so useless?!

I clearly wanted to perform well in front of the Lady!

I wanted to improve my relationship with her…

At least from a tool to a servant…or even a slave would be fine~

But I fainted before the battle even started.

I only laid on the ground for a few hours! 

Damn it! 

Damn it!!

When I get back, I have to train my muscles! (But later got too busy and never did it!)

“Um…Miss Jenny?” 

A few noble girls looked at her awkwardly.

They were secretly glad they didn’t have to enter the mine and face danger. 

Compared to them, no wonder Miss Jenny succeeded.

“Hey! Look! Isn’t someone coming out of the mine entrance?”

“Uh…looks like it! Could it be they didn’t go deeper inside…”

A few noble girls watching the Thirteenth Mine’s entrance suddenly spoke up!

“What?!” 

Jenny, who was still feeling down, suddenly stood up! 

Startling those nearby!

They’re out already? 

Could the first exploration have been unsuccessful?

Alright!

No, wait! 

This time I will perform well!

Jenny suddenly stretched out her hands…

Clap clap!! 

In the confused gazes of those around her, she slapped her cheeks sharply, and her pale, weak-looking face instantly flushed with color.

Then she quickly walked toward the mine entrance.

“Eh…Miss Jenny! Wait for us!!”

Tap tap tap…

At the mine entrance, Jenny squinted ahead.

Sure enough! 

She saw that striking figure walking at the front, the iconic white hair and red eyes…and the Black Armored Giant trailing behind.

If it’s not the Lady, then who else!

“Lady…eh~” 

Jenny ran up excitedly…but because of weakness, she “accidentally” stumbled forward~ 

Take that! 

The girl’s little trick ~

But…the imagined scene of the Lady caring for her did not happen; instead, a loud and casual voice appeared…

“Eh~ why are you so careless~ get up quickly.”

From Ireya’s side, a black figure dashed forward, lifting Jenny off the ground.

Without even seeing her face, Jenny knew exactly who this was just by the voice…

The idiot maid beside the Lady…that rival named Veil…

“You…um, hehe, th-thank you …” (gritting her teeth)

How dare a maid steal the spot in front of the Lady?!

Such an impudent person…

Jenny’s mind roared.

“Eh~ no worries, if you treat me to a meal, then you’re one of us~” 

Veil said cheerfully, patting Jenny’s shoulder.

She really thinks Jenny is a great person, kind, and cooks well!

She wishes Jenny was the one who chose her~

And that great person, that bad woman, always punishes her…damn it!

If she weren’t scared…cough, if she didn’t care about that woman’s face! 

Yes! 

That’s the excuse!

Ugh…

At this moment, Miss Jenny looked at Veil, who had helped her up, and actually felt a pang of sympathy, which instantly ignited her anger!

Is this girl…provoking me?!

Damn it…damn it!!

Isn’t it just a case of proximity advantage? 

What’s with the arrogance?!

Veil looked at Jenny, who was still gritting her teeth, and thought she must be biting them from pain after the fall…how pitiful, but don’t expect her to carry her~

Her strength was quite small, and she hadn’t even eaten dinner yet~

However… 

Ireya, engaged in this “invisible war,” paid no attention at all.

Since earlier, her mind had been caught in a whirlpool of thoughts.

Besides questions about the Dark Tunnel Tribe, it was about the visions she saw the moment she touched the Silver Dragon Egg.

It didn’t look like an illusion at all.

That feeling was like she had truly experienced it herself…

Helplessness, fear, shame, anger, and even jealousy.

None of these emotions had ever been felt by this noble Lady, the East County’s shining pearl, Ileya Bateos.

That was why the impression was so deeply engraved.

And also why Ireya was certain it was not an illusion…

After all, how could feelings she never had be so profoundly felt in a dream?

Then…this matter might actually be true.

The Unhappened Truth…

This abstract concept, theoretically, could only be explained by Future Sight…

Future?

Because she touched something extremely important to someone, even related to their fate, she saw some visions from her subjective perspective…

Who was that golden short-haired girl?

She even attacked her inside the Marquis Castle…if not for that person’s strength already standing at the peak of the kingdom…

Then only one possibility remained.

That blonde, blue-eyed girl was the half-sister Veil mentioned earlier?

But no…

In that revolving lantern-like “Future Sight,” Ireya clearly saw that girl’s face…and found many similarities to her mother—or even herself.

And she was about the same age as Ireya?

Meaning…things were different from what she thought, and she misunderstood the old man…

This “sister” was not the Marquis’s illegitimate child from this business trip.

But…

Ugh! 

Could it be…the one who cheated wasn’t the old man…

But her own dear mother!!!

It seems…she accidentally discovered something…quite a serious matter…
