Chapter 755: Chapter 298: Princess, my humble home is quite spacious indeed_2

It was clear that her pupils contracted sharply to adjust to the light.

So intricate, not at all like a puppet; at least not one of the same style as Anastasia’s.

Seeing that Wayne had already gotten the hang of it, Juno hurriedly interrupted, "Little brother Wayne, I asked you to come over for..."

"Knight Juno, let me talk to My Princess first, we can discuss important matters later."

Wayne grabbed Elizabeth’s hand, his mind melding with her, sensing a vivid physical body: skin, blood vessels, muscles and bones, and a robust heartbeat, as well as a robust heartbeat.

A faint whiteness within the flesh, highly active, reminded him of The Forgotten who had fallen into madness due to knowledge.

No, it was something even beyond—a wanderer.

The disconnected chaotic knowledge of the void, with no thought, just an empty shell of a wanderer.

Just looking at the vitality of the flesh, it was undoubtedly so; however, this body did not have the contamination characteristics towards the outside, inconsistent with the traits of a void life.

"What exactly is she, a research outcome from the Magic Department?"

Wayne’s curiosity was piqued, and he was dying to command Juno mentally to reveal the whole truth.

Alas, he couldn’t!

Juno was an extremely valuable specimen that could provide Wayne numerous parameters. Hoping to use her to cure Hefei and Veronica’s Dragon Blood Curse, Wayne dared not tamper with her thoughts recklessly.

"Partially, her situation is more complicated."

Juno had no desire to reveal the truth, but facing Wayne, she felt an indescribable trust. After pondering for a moment and following the principle of allies sharing secret intelligence, she told the truth.

"Little brother Wayne, do you know about the Philosopher’s Stone?"

"I’ve heard of it."

"My puppet was transformed from a failed Philosopher’s Stone, that of a Legendary Mage who fell into the void and was discovered to be utterly mad..."

Juno explained the cause and effect, a former member of the Magic Department who, following the principle of utilizing waste, was processed into a Philosopher’s Stone by the Royal Family.

Because the original material was not a demigod, the process failed, resulting in a half-finished Philosopher’s Stone.

There was a use for the incomplete product, and this Magic Stone was acquired by Juno, then processed a second time by the Heavenly Father’s Court, becoming the present-day Princess Elizabeth.

"Then, what is her power?"

"Controllable void life. As the master, my mind can enter it and go through this physical body into the Gate of Truth," Juno frankly disclosed.

Princess Elizabeth’s uses were myriad. In addition to cultivation and avoiding contamination, her combat strength was also considerable. She could be worn by Juno to amplify her own power.

Cold and hot weapons switched at will, making Wayne envious.

He wanted it!

"Juno, I won’t hide it from you, my ancestor once lost a Philosopher’s Stone, no, a Legendary Mage. I’ve been searching for many years and feel like I’ve found it today," Wayne said with a serious face.

A soft laugh followed his words.

Alisa, the Princess’s betrothed, which is to say fiancée, covered her mouth and giggled. Seeing Wayne’s dark-faced gaze, she bowed her head and stepped back two paces.

The mood was disrupted, and for Wayne to further emphasize the Legendary Mage lost by his ancestors seemed somewhat inappropriate, but, with a thick skin, he repeated the claim with a stiff face.

"Little brother Wayne, our father is both Austin. Your ancestor’s Legendary Mage is my ancestor’s Legendary Mage. You’ve been searching for her with a grieving heart for a long time, and so have I," Juno sighed, making it sound as serious as if it were true.

The reference to ’brother’ originated from Wayne’s request.

Juno knew she had no blood relation to Austin, and Wayne was aware as well; the title was purely to target Austin.

In public, Juno used normal titles for Wayne; in private, especially when members of the Randao Family were present, like Hefei, Veronica, and Megan, Juno had to call Wayne ’little brother.’

Again, the phrase went, Austin couldn’t be the only one with a clean slate; only if he was burdened with problems could Wayne mimic him and manage to ’inherit inadequacies.’

This was called legacy, inheriting family traditions!

"Juno, you said it yourself, we are all one family. I also have a share in this Philosopher’s Stone," Wayne declared, holding onto Elizabeth’s shoulder, ready to take her away that very night.

He had recently become addicted to research, evolving himself by uncovering the essence of life. Research equaled cultivation, and the more precious research materials, the better.

In Elizabeth’s case, she was unique, of immense research value.

After a back-and-forth, Juno proved herself to be a worthy successor to the Royal Family, praised by Austin. She was not outwitted by Wayne’s verbal prowess and didn’t give him any free chances to exploit.

Not free implied money could change that.

Wayne’s eyebrows rose, remembering Juno’s invitation to visit, and then looking at the lifelike Elizabeth and Alisa, whose clothing buttons were not even properly fastened, he thought to himself, cold-hearted.

This woman might be young, but her heart was steely, ready to trade anything to achieve her goals.

What about the future Royal Family lineage? What about the inheritance rights? Would she also hike up the price when it came time to pass them on?

Wayne returned to the main issue, slowly sitting down on the sofa with Secretary Mona standing behind him, just one Ancient Silver Coin away from Austin.

Indeed, he had two, but neither could be shown to the daylight.

Five minutes later, Elizabeth brought over the tea, handing cups to Wayne and Juno.

The Princess, with the fiancé of the Princess standing behind the Princess’s Knight, guarded them like protectors, left and right.

Wayne marveled at the sight. Outsiders thought the Princess was savvy and competent, an excellent successor, but they were unaware that the Princess, behind this guise, had been playing the role of the Princess’s Knight since childhood, never showing her true face.
