"Sir, it's been confirmed! Milia is Viscount Olba's daughter!"
A Knights Order member reported to Jeno.
"It's him!"
"Two years ago, he was just a small cadre, but it seems he suddenly had an epiphany. His strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and he contributed more to The Order! Now he's a cadre on par with me!"
"If she's his daughter, it makes sense that she has such strength!"
"However, Viscount Olba will still be trampled underfoot by me, because I now have Princess Alexia, who possesses the atavistic bloodline of Freya, one of the Three Heroes."
"With her, as long as I can find the powerful strength within her bloodline! I will definitely become one of the Knights of the Round Table!"
Alexia slowly woke up from her coma.
She was in a windowless room, with an ordinary researcher beside her.
The person walked towards her with a syringe.
"Who are you! Why did you kidnap me!"
"I am just a researcher, and as for kidnapping you, it's of course for the bloodline within you, the royal bloodline!"
After the researcher finished speaking, he rolled up Alexia's sleeve, inserted the syringe into Alexia's arm, and began to draw blood.
"What do you want my blood for?"
"To obtain special power!"
"With my strength, can you really get power by drawing my blood?"
Alexia said with a hint of self-mockery.
"You don't know anything! But that's fine!"
After drawing blood, the researcher left, leaving Alexia imprisoned there.
Alexia looked up at the ceiling, recalling the scene of her kidnapping.
The person who kidnapped her looked very much like Jeno, just by their build.
"How could I think of him? Jeno is the swordmaster of this country, he wouldn't kidnap me no matter how bad things got!"
"I wonder when the Knights Order will find me!"
Alexia felt very tired and fell into a deep sleep.
In a daze, she heard someone speaking to her.
"Do you desire power?"
Alexia opened her eyes, looking around, but saw nothing.
"Am I hallucinating?"
"Do you desire power?"
"Who is speaking?"
"You can call me Phantom!"
"Phantom?"
"Who are you? Where are you?"
Alexia shouted.
But no one answered her anymore.
Xi Nuo had already left.
"It seems Alexia hasn't despaired yet, so let her be locked up for a while longer!" Xi Nuo muttered to himself.
Just as Shadow had left, he had acted cool and said some inexplicable things.
Xi Nuo then investigated the magic imprint he had left on Alexia.
He found that Alexia's location was unusual; she was alone and motionless in the city center late at night.
So, Xi Nuo went to take a look.
He found Alexia kidnapped underground.
"According to the plot, Alexia should have been kidnapped half a year after Xi De and I enrolled, so why is it so much earlier!"
Xi Nuo put himself in an invisible state and investigated the facility. The researcher was the guy who had escaped from Xi Nuo's grasp before.
This guy was very capable; he actually found out that Alexia looked exactly like Freya, one of the Three Heroes.
Alpha corresponds to the Elf Hero Olivia among the Three Heroes.
Zeta corresponds to the Beastkin Hero Lily among the Three Heroes.
Alexia corresponds to the Human Hero Freya among the Three Heroes.
"Alexia might be somewhat useful, so I'll be her master, but first, I still need to let her suffer a bit!"
...The next day, Xi De, Xi Nuo, and Jia Kayouluo went to school together.
As soon as they arrived at the school gate, Jeno and two Knights Order members walked over and surrounded the four of them.
Jia Ka and You Luo fearfully hid behind Xi De and Xi Nuo.
"Is there something wrong?" Xi De asked.
"Princess Alexia didn't return to her dorm last night, and you were the last person to see her!"
"This is a bit troublesome!" Xi De thought to himself.
At this moment, Jeno looked at Xi Nuo.
"You are his blood brother, you also need to come with us to assist in the investigation!"
"Me? How am I involved in this?"
"No!" Milia suddenly walked out.
"I was with Brother Xi Nuo all day yesterday, he absolutely did not kidnap Princess Alexia!"
Milia stared at Jeno and said.
"Where did this little girl come from, daring to obstruct the Knights Order's business!"
The Knights Order member beside Jeno spoke.
"I said no means no!"
Milia looked at the Knights Order member.
The Knights Order member suddenly felt killing intent, killing intent from Milia. He had been aggressive, but suddenly he didn't dare to speak.
The killing intent made him feel a bit breathless.
Both sides temporarily fell into a stalemate.
"This guy really wants to make a move!" Jeno thought to himself.
Jeno considered the pros and cons and decided to give Viscount Olba some face.
If he tore off the mask now, the other party might directly interfere with his plan.
The internal struggles within The Order had never ceased.
"Since you are willing to testify for him, then he doesn't need to go. Xi De Kageno, come with us!" Jeno said.
Xi De was taken away by the Knights Order.
Because Princess Alexia was kidnapped, the entire academy was temporarily locked down. Boarding students were prohibited from leaving campus. As for ordinary nobles like Xi Nuo, Jia Ka, and You Luo, of course, no one bothered them.
After all, they didn't have residences at school... At night, when Xi Nuo was about to leave school, a figure blocked his path.
It was Claire!
"Sister, long time no see?"
"Xi Nuo, don't leave school. Princess Alexia was kidnapped, and it's not safe outside right now. You can stay with me, Sister! Oh, where's Xi De?"
"Xi De was the last person to see Princess Alexia before she disappeared! He's been taken in for investigation!"
"What!!!"
"How could Xi De kidnap the princess? That's impossible! My brother would never kidnap the princess! No! I'm going to save Xi De!"
Princess Rose, as the Student Council president, was blocking the school gate, preventing some boarding students from leaving.
She happened to overhear Claire's words.
"Claire, calm down. Your brother was just taken in for investigation, and he'll be released once the investigation is clear!"
"My brother absolutely cannot be a criminal, I'm going to save him!"
Claire immediately started walking towards the school gate.
"Hold her down!"
Several female Student Council members went up and grabbed Claire's arms.
But Claire, alone, completely ignored the four people trying to hold her down, dragging all four of them towards the school gate.
Claire usually kept a low profile, so seeing this scene, the Student Council members were very surprised.
They all knew Claire was powerful, but now she could drag four Student Council members without using magic; it was too exaggerated.
The members who could enter the Student Council were all elites.
The four Student Council members, seeing themselves being dragged, decided to use magic.
But it still didn't change the situation; Claire continued to drag them, because Claire also used magic.
And her speed was noticeably faster.
"Claire, stop quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Princess Rose blocked Claire's path.
Xi Nuo knew he had to intervene. If he didn't, Princess Rose wouldn't be able to stop his sister.
Within the campus, besides Alice, Jeno, and himself, no one else could stop the current Claire.
If Claire's magic seal was released, her strength would probably be similar to Jeno's, and Princess Alice wouldn't be able to defeat Claire.
"Sister, calm down. If you go to save Xi De now, you'll be committing a crime, and it will also solidify the accusation that Xi De kidnapped the princess! Furthermore, the entire Kageno family will be implicated!"
Hearing Xi Nuo's words, Claire stopped moving.
"Will Xi Nuo also be implicated!" Claire thought to herself.
"Then what should I do?"
"Wait. The Knights Order will release Xi De once the investigation is clear!"
"Xi Nuo, you make a lot of sense! Sister will listen to you!"
Claire took Xi Nuo's hand, preparing to take Xi Nuo to her residence.
And those four people were completely ignored by Claire, like mere accessories.
"Um, my sister isn't going to look for the Knights Order anymore, you can let go of her!"
The four people, after confirming that Claire really wasn't going to cause trouble for the Knights Order, let go of her hands.
If it weren't for Rose, they would have wanted to let go earlier. Four people couldn't hold one person, and they were being dragged along; it was too embarrassing.
Claire took Xi Nuo and left.
Princess Rose watched the two, lost in thought.
Claire's strength was a bit beyond her imagination.
"Claire is truly a powerful person. When the campus martial arts competition comes, I'll have a good spar with her!"
Princess Rose said, looking at Claire.
"Is her brother's name Xi Nuo? I remember his girlfriend is Milia, and that guy is also said to be very powerful. He has close relationships with two powerful individuals, so perhaps he also has special strength!"
"Xi Nuo Kageno, I remember you!"
