Ch10 - [A false alarm] An earth shaking roar came through the comp.

When Nalun returned halfway up the mountain through the shortcut, it was already meal time. He noiselessly turned into his personal resting lounge, pulled off the wig on his head, pulled off the beard and then removed his clothes piece by piece. Stripping all the way to the bed, at last, he collapsed spread-eagle onto the sheets.

–However, there were still many things waiting for him to do.

Ten seconds later, his highness, the Honored Prince, who suffered torments and tribulations, had no choice but to drag his numb outer shell up and force himself to climb up.

Putting on his formal attire once again, he looked at himself in front of the mirror for a while, giving his own appearance a silent approval. Then he walked out of the room like nothing happened and called over a servant.

This day, every guest who was invited to the banquet all received a beautiful gift box. It’s rumored that the Honored Prince had prepared LuoRi Volcano’s special product for everyone.

Nalun also saved one for himself. However, he had exchanged the special product inside with the medicinal bag and…… medicinal bath powder. This way, he could bring it home openly and boldly.

The medicinal bath soak from the onsen clubhouse was indeed famous. Furthermore, it was unique with confirmed healing properties.

Researching a bit on his personal comp and gaining an understanding of it, he pondered seriously for a moment and felt that throwing it away was a bit wasteful– Although Sirius was annoying, the medicinal bath powder was innocent.

He decided to take a soak once he got home.

The banquet was peaceful and tranquil, without anything unexpected happening as it progressed. The crowd was joyous and harmonious. Nalun’s appearance made the banquet reach a little climax.

However…… he turned his head and looked around.

Everything was normal behind him. Men and women were still conversing behind him, without any abnormalities. However, Nalun just couldn’t shake the feeling that something was secretly spying on him. He concluded this as the trauma from what happened a little while ago at the foot of the mountain. Thinking briefly, he decided to temporarily throw the matter to the back of his head.

At this time, a handsome-looking woman walked towards him.

“Honored Prince-dianxia.” She lifted the hem of her dress and gave an old traditional lady’s courtesy.

Nalun recognized her and replied coolly: “Miss Mona.”

Mona revealed a smile: “Today’s meal was very good. The view of the courtyard is also very pleasing and delightful.”

Nalun: “It’s their honor to be enjoyed by people.”

His tone didn’t really contain much friendliness or enthusiasm. However Mona knew, this was his highness, the Honored Prince Charvey’s natural temperament. Thus, she didn’t mind at all. In fact, she was rather pleased by this polite compliment.

She looked at the handsome, aristocratic man in front of her and thought to herself: If he were willing to show face in front of the media more, he would definitely become a second Sirius and reap a huge pile of followers.

However, this thought was too dangerous.

How much Charvey disdained Sirius was how much he hated having unrelated people talking about him. Practically everyone within the social group knew this.

Even she didn’t dare to challenge the Honored Prince’s bottom line. Even though she had wanted to share such an excellent specimen of a man to her fans, she couldn’t go against his personal wishes and force him onto the screen. Not to mention, this person was not to be trifled with.

Therefore, she actually only recorded a view of his back.

An upright and straight back. A well tailored suit. This man has an unique aura that he was born with. He could be very noble or very lofty. Regardless of which, he was not the type that someone should casually offend.

Compared to Sirius, she appreciated this type more.

Mona’s little activity didn’t actually attract any of Nalun’s attention. This General’s daughter seemed to have specifically come over to praise the food and beautiful scenery. A little while later, she left and walked away.

And that feeling of being spied on also disappeared as well.

Sure enough, he was being overly suspicious.

As the banquet reached the end, a scream exploded from the crowd.

“There’s a bug!”

Thinking that an accident had happened, Nalun was about to rush over when he fell silent. At this same time, his personal comp started ringing. The screen display showed the name “Madam Sheryl”.

“Sister-in-law, what’s the matter?”

Madam Sheryl’s voice was extremely anxious: “Nalun, do you know where’s Ilia?”

“Ilia?” This little monster got in trouble again?

Madam Sheryl: “Look at the news, quick. A young girl is being held hostage at the foot of LuoRi Volcano! It looks like Ilia. I contacted her personal comp, but no one answered…….”

Nalun took a few seconds to digest this. Then he grabbed the main point: “What you mean is, Ilia is being held hostage?”

He swiftly pulled out the display. Without even searching, he saw a news update. After clicking into it, a big bold headline entered his view: [At the foot of LuoRi Volcano, a huge bug captured someone. A young girl in imminent danger]

Huge bug? Young girl?

The incident started an hour ago. The specific location of the incident occured at the onsen clubhouse. On this day, there was a lone female guest who had an invitation card in her hand. The receiver of the card was Charvey. The clubhouse even pulled out the surveillance tapes and showed the scene of the young girl being captured.

Seeing the accompanying image, Nalun immediately recognized his family’s little monster lolita.

“…….”

He remembered that when he left the house this morning, he even wanted to bring his niece along to attend the banquet. Yet what exactly did that little brat say? That she wanted to do homework!

This was the so-called ‘doing homework”?

Madam Sheryl was already crying in anxiety.

Nalun said promptly: “I’ll think of a plan right now. Ilia will be fine.”

This year was the 10 year anniversary of his big brother and sister-in-law’s marriage. At this moment, the two people were still conducting their anniversary tour on the other side of the universe. There’s no way they could rush back immediately.

Since they had temporarily entrusted their daughter to him to look after, then Ilia was his responsibility.

Cutting off the call, Nalun immediately rushed down the mountain. In the middle of his journey, he even contacted a person.

After the other answered, they immediately gave a location and said: “Everything is fine now.”

Nalun: “……what?”

“I naturally wouldn’t ignore an incident at the onsen clubhouse. She’s very safe right now.” Sirius’s voice was his usual calm: “I’ll have her speak with you.”

A moment later, Ilia’s energetic voice sounded.

“Little uncle!”

“I-Ilia?”

“I am in Mister Sirius’s arms. He will bring me home. No need to worry about me and no need to leave me dinner.”

Nalun: “…….”

This kind of feeling… was like doing your very best, spending time and energy trying to figure out a way to help someone, only to find out that the other had already resolved the issue a long time ago, and even thought you were being a bit excessive.

A few seconds later, an earth shaking roar came through the Imperial Admiral’s personal comp.

“I. LI. A!”

Sirius held the personal comp that had been returned back to him and looked at the extremely happy little lolita in his arms, who was completely unconcerned with the furious roar. He didn’t know if he should tell Nalun about this.

Nalun: “When did you get your hands on the invitation card? How did you get to the onsen clubhouse? And also what’s going on with the huge bug? Your mother was practically crying in anxiety, do you know?”

Due to his fury, Nalun‘s voice wasn’t quiet. Ilia was able to hear and slowly revealed a slightly guilty expression. She leaned closer to Sirius’s hand and asked: “How’s Mama?”

Nalun laughed coldly: “You’re done! I’m telling you! I’m telling Madam Sheryl about your idol chasing, beer drinking, homework slacking, and lying behavior right now! Then you can personally experience how she is.”

Ilia: “……”

Sirius: “…….”
