CH 488

The following day.

Caesar has been quite busy recently.

He was mostly recovered from his injuries, and although he wasn’t in his peak form, it was enough to deal with the next mission, which was to find the hero’s lost holy sword!

It was important and information was hard to come by, even having gone through the investigator and mercenary offices, he still didn’t come up with anything, so he could only ask the person with the most power.

That’s right, it was the representative king, nicknamed the Leopard Queen, Claire!

If it was her, she would surely have a lot of secret information, but meeting with Claire wasn’t something easy.

Claire was extremely busy after the war meeting and refused all guests unless it was related to important military or political affairs. Even exceptions had to make a reservation ahead of time and they may be seen after waiting numerous days, even if they get a meeting, it was strictly limited to within ten minutes!

Just getting a meeting was already so difficult, so getting information might be nearly impossible but was Caesar someone that gave up so easily?

Being afraid of troublesome things was something a lazy person like Lin Xiao would do, not him!

As long as he could deal with Claire and get the information, then he would have a chance to find the lost sword and guarantee himself to become the position of the hero’s disciple!

“Hm, you want to meet Claire? Then I’m going with you!” Of course, Rosie would also tag along.

Actually, meeting Claire wasn’t that difficult for them, since they were both important people. One was a prince and the other was from an extremely wealthy family.

As expected, with Rosie’s money and Caesar’s appearance, they were able to get in touch with Claire’s personal attendant. They were able to get a response to meet in the afternoon of that day and they didn’t have to wait long.

“It seems that tomboy is quite tactful!”

Rosie was pleased after hearing that and thought the quick response was because of their status. Her guess was reasonable, but she misunderstood Claire.

The reason Claire took the time to meet them was actually because of her teacher. Her best teacher, Lin Xiao!

When she first heard about it from her attendant, she immediately rejected it! But after asking a bit, she found out that Caesar and Rosie were Lin Xiao’s classmates from Loran Academy and they were friends, so she changed her mind and agreed to meet them.

Lin Xiao was Gotham’s dragon and her friend forever, so naturally, his friends were her friends as well.

Of course, Rosie and Caesar would never have thought that Lin Xiao was that important to Claire! And the only reason they got Claire’s reception and respect was because of their relationship with Lin Xiao.

Anyways, that afternoon, they were finally able to meet Claire. They were summoned to the study in that unremarkable house.

When the two entered the room and saw that handsome girl, they were instantly stunned. Blonde hair with a handsome aura, wearing a shirt and short skirt with comically large black glasses.

When she noticed them, she took off her glasses and put on a polite smile and stood up.

“Welcome! Prince Caesar, Miss Rosie, it’s nice meeting you, I’m Gotham Kingdom’s representative king, Claire, if you have any questions, please feel free… hm?”

Claire smiled while talking and wanted to invite them in, but she noticed those two standing like petrified statues at the door.

What was going on?

Rosie and Claire silently glanced at each other and were both shaken.

“Hey! Caesar, is she… your sister?”

“… Of course not!”

“Then who do you two look so similar!?”

“How would I know? … Shhh, she’s coming!”

“Hehe, what are you two talking about?”

“When she heard them quietly muttering, Claire moved closer out of curiosity.”

When Claire came face to face with Caesar, she finally got a good look at his appearance!

W-what was going on?

That blond handsome youth looked a lot like her! One was a woman and the other a man, and there were a lot of differences if you took a close look. But… when they first stood face to face, that familiarity was evident!

Rosie had heard they looked similar but never believed, but now she finally believed it after seeing it.

“Cough… please come in first and have a seat.”

Claire felt awkward when she looked at Caesar, it was like she was looking at a magic mirror and changed into the opposite sex.

Lin Xiao may always call her a tomboy, but she was a genuine woman! As long as she did her makeup, she was a beauty, alright? She was just too lazy to do it…

But now that you put a male version of her right in front of her, what is that?

It wasn’t just Claire, Caesar also felt uncomfortable, but he couldn’t be disrespectful, so he didn’t comment on their appearance and just pulled Rosie in, sat down, and politely chatted a bit which helped the atmosphere.

But even if the two involved adapted to it, Rosie still couldn’t

The more Rosie looked, the more obsessed she became! She never expected something so bizarre! Claire had Caesar’s handsome aura, but also a beauty’s charm. Rosie couldn’t resist that strange charm at all, she almost lost herself and wanted to run over to hug Claire’s waist.

“Cough, princess Claire, since you’re busy, I’m just going to get right to the point.”

Caesar helplessly sighed as he noticed how Rosie was acting and quickly got onto the main topic…

“I want to recover the lost holy sword and I wanted to ask if you could provide us with some information?”

Claire admired that and from their conversation, she could tell he was a straightforward person much like herself.

It seems that they weren’t similar just in appearance and they might even become good friends.

That came later, of course, and now she had to decide whether or not to respond to his request. Coincidentally, Claire had just received some information that allowed her to confirm that the Holy Sword was indeed with the rebels!

But… should she tell Caesar?
