Sitting beside Wen Xin, Chu Yunxuan noticed Wen Xin was constantly picking at her fingers. She gently held Wen Xin’s hand, wrapping it warmly in her own.
“Mu Chengxi, that troublemaker, has endured all sorts of hardships. He’ll be fine. I’ve already alerted the Chou Alliance and people from Continent M. If anything happens, we’ll tear a hole in the Independent State.”
“You know how powerful your own empire is. You need to stay calm.”
“It’s not that I can’t handle the Independent State. I’m afraid time isn’t on our side. I can’t bear to think about what if…”
Wen Xin pulled her hand away from Chu Yunxuan’s grasp and covered her face with it. Desperation seeped from her voice. She was genuinely scared, scared that she might be too late.
She couldn’t imagine a life without Mu Chengxi, fearing she would have to return to that dark world.
She wasn’t afraid of darkness; she was afraid of not having him.
“Miss, we’ve arrived…”
The driver stopped the car in front of a castle. He didn’t understand why Wen Xin was visiting the Taros family. The Taros family was unique in the Independent State, living there but not under its jurisdiction.
Most importantly, though the Taros family had lost its former glory, its family numbers and extensive connections still made it a formidable presence that the Independent State’s leaders feared.
“Alright, park the car here. No need to follow me inside.”
Wen Xin composed herself and got out of the car, taking a deep breath as she gazed at the imposing castle.
Chu Yunxuan, rarely seeing Wen Xin so nervous, tugged lightly at her sleeve. “Where are we?”
“An old friend’s house. You’ll meet them soon.” Chu Yunxuan had met the current head of the Taros family before. Wen Xin figured she wouldn’t be unfamiliar.
Wen Xin led Chu Yunxuan and Wales to the castle gates. Soon, two men in black came out and blocked their way.
“Excuse me, please show your invitation or…”
Before the man could finish, Wen Xin took out a black stone from her pocket, the size of a Go piece, with a special emblem engraved on it.
Seeing the stone, the man immediately bowed respectfully. “The Earl is in a meeting right now. You…”
“Tell him that if it’s not urgent, he should meet me first. My matter is pressing.”
Wen Xin knew it was excessive to demand Moore’s attention right after arriving, but she couldn’t afford to wait. Every minute mattered for Mu Chengxi’s safety.
“Understood, I’ll inform him right away.”
The man left quickly, but after running a short distance, he returned, spoke to another man, and then left again in a hurry.
The other man approached Wen Xin, also showing respect. “Miss, please come in. You can wait for the Earl in the reception room. The old Earl is also home and will be delighted to see you.”
Wen Xin nodded and led Chu Yunxuan and Wales to a sightseeing-type vehicle that took them toward the main villa in the castle.
Sitting behind Wen Xin, Chu Yunxuan looked around curiously, like a country bumpkin visiting a grand mansion for the first time.
Wales glanced at Wen Xin’, then at Chu Yunxuan beside him, sighed helplessly, and whispered, “Stop looking like a bumpkin. Haven’t you noticed? Everyone here, even the Tang family, calls our boss ‘Miss.’ What exactly is her identity?”
Chu Yunxuan strained to hear Wales’s low voice. She frowned slightly, looked at Wen Xin’s calm profile, and shook her head.
“I don’t know, but given this treatment, her status must be special.”
As they spoke, the cart stopped in front of the largest villa in the castle. The man in black politely invited Wen Xin to get off.
Wen Xin was led into the villa…
When Chu Yunxuan and Wales also tried to get out of the car, they were stopped by the guards at the entrance.
“We are with her. If she can go in, why can’t we?”
“I’m sorry, Miss. She is the eldest daughter of the Independent State and an esteemed guest of Taros Castle. It is normal for her to enter the Earl’s home. As for you and this gentleman, we have arranged a resting area for you. Please follow me.”
Upon hearing that Wen Xin was the Eldest Miss of the Independent State, Chu Yunxuan’s jaw dropped in shock. She had thought Wen Xin might be related to some Independent State nobility, like the Tang family, but she never imagined Wen Xin was the mysterious ruler of the Independent State.
However, she couldn’t understand why Wen Xin would hide such an identity. The title of Eldest Miss was incredibly prestigious, symbolizing power. Finding Mu Chengxi or even overturning the Independent State, no one would dare say anything, right?
Seeing Chu Yunxuan’s stunned expression, the man in black spoke again, “This way to the resting area, please follow me.”
His tone was very polite, knowing they were Wen Xin’s guests, so he dared not neglect them.
Wen Xin entered the villa, and an old butler greeted her with a respectful bow. “Miss, the old Earl and the Countess are coming down. Please wait on the sofa. I’ll prepare some milk for you…”
“Uncle Wright, no need. I’m not a little girl anymore. I’ve outgrown milk. I’m here to see Moore…”
“What? Can’t you see your mentors before seeing Moore?”
At that moment, an elderly foreign couple descended the stairs. They were the old Earl and Countess of the Taros family, Moore’s grandparents.
“Master, Mistress.” Seeing the couple, Wen Xin’s nose tingled. She hadn’t seen them in a long time.
“The little girl has grown up. Moore told us he met you in Z Country and that you were doing well. That put our minds at ease.”
“Didn’t expect to see you today. It’s a pleasant surprise.”
The old madam quickly approached Wen Xin, gently holding her hand, and looked her up and down with loving eyes full of tenderness.
