Chapter 163: Chapter 162: Stopped While Leaving the Palace
Frans’s gaze immediately swept across the female attendants around him, and after seeing each one look guilty and fearful, he had his answer.
“Yanyan, try this dish.” Now that he knew the reason, there was no hurry. He let Sally eat her fill first—after all, the child must not go hungry.
“Hmm, as long as you don’t think I’m a pig.” Sally picked up the cutlery again and slowly chewed the food, savoring each bite.
“No, no, no, I am the pig,” Frans immediately responded, busying himself with attending her carefully.
The faces of those female attendants had turned ashen by now.
It wasn’t until Sally had thoroughly finished every dish on the table, not wasting a single bite, that she rose from the table with Frans’s light support and left the dining room.
As for those female attendants, they were petrified after the couple’s departure!
A breeze flowed in through the open window, brushing past the petrified attendants… ‘Crack, crack—’ These statue-like women began to crumble upon the gentle touch of the wind, finally turning into dust that was swept out the window.
…
New female attendants were assigned to Sally.
This group was cautious and never dared to look her in the eye.
Two days later, as Sally was basking in the sunlight in the garden, she heard a rustling in the bushes.
To the attendants around her, she said, “Leave us for now.”
In the past, there would definitely be those who stayed put, watching her, curious about what she would do.
But now, they retreated very respectfully.
Sally glanced at the System Map to confirm that everyone had left before speaking to the bushes, “Come out.”
“I went to the Holy Church; they say the Continental Transmission Light Array is broken, and I can’t leave for the time being.” The Red Fox, in the guise of Lena, effortlessly leaped onto the root-carved table where Sally was having tea.
Seeing that there were many desserts on the table, she helped herself without any hesitation.
Sally said, “I’ve told Frans that my pregnancy isn’t just for a month, so they won’t bother me for a while. Since they won’t come after me, you should be safe as well. After all, we’re from the same batch, and if something happens to you, it would inevitably raise suspicions about me.”
“Hmm, I want to continue investigating Lin Xuexue, but she refuses to meet me.”
“The day after tomorrow evening, the Holy Palace will hold a banquet. Since you couldn’t leave, I’ll arrange for someone to send you an invitation as well. Lin Xuexue will be there too, we can talk then.”
“No problem.” Lena finished the desserts and had a cup of tea, “Then I’ll head back now, see you at the banquet.”
“Okay.” Sally watched Lena leave through the bushes; her expression unusually solemn.
[Xiaomei—Xiaomei—]
Xiaomei hadn’t responded in two days, and Sally didn’t know what had happened, worrying aimlessly like a headless fly.
Frans arrived.
Seeing the worry in Sally’s brows and eyes, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Sally looked at him, staring intensely for a long while until he became utterly unsure of himself before she said, “I want to leave the palace and clear my head.”
“Alright, I’ll accompany you out,” Frans immediately agreed.
An elated smile slowly spread across Sally’s lips, yet it didn’t reach her eyes, “Can we go out now?”
“Yes, we can,” Frans offered his hand, finding hers a bit cold, “Your hand feels a bit cold; are you unwell anywhere?”
“I’m perfectly fine,” Sally took the opportunity to loop her arm through his, “I want to go somewhere lively now. I think these two children will be quite playful and fun.”
“Okay.” Upon hearing it was about the children, Frans had no more doubts.
They both changed into casual clothes.
Sally wore a lake blue long dress, and because she was not far along, her pregnancy was not noticeable.
Her white hair was tied back in a high ponytail, a small bag slung over her shoulder, and her eyes were clear and shining brightly.
Frans gazed at Sally, almost entranced, “Yanyan, you are very beautiful.”
“I’m still a bit behind you,” Sally said with a playful wink.
Frans’s Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed…
Sally looped her arm through Frans’s and they walked towards the palace gate.
Just as they were about to exit the gate, a red-robed Holy Church Knight blocked their path.
Sally recognized him at a glance; he was the red-robed sanctifier she had seen in the garden.
Frans greeted him, “Manager Wu Liye.”
Wu Liye nodded, his gaze fixed on Sally, “I heard the Holy Mother is pregnant with the Holy Monarch’s child, congratulations.”
Sally replied, “Thank you.”
“But now that it’s early in the pregnancy, it would be better for the Holy Mother to stay in the palace and secure the pregnancy,” Wu Liye said to Frans.
Frans laughed, “It’s fine, Yanyan wants to take a little trip to ease her mind. Besides, she hasn’t had a chance to actually explore the Holy Capital Continent, so I thought I’d show her around.”
Sally immediately tiptoed and kissed Frans’s cheek, “Thank you, Holy Monarch, you’re so good to me.”
Frans’s face turned slightly red, and fearing that Wu Liye might notice something amiss, he immediately teleported away with Sally.
In the Holy Palace, the only one who could freely use the Innate Secret Technique was Frans. The palace’s defenses restricted anyone else, which is why Sally couldn’t sneak out of the Holy Palace on her own.
After Frans left with Sally, Wu Liye’s face turned sour.
Another white-robed manager approached Wu Liye, “Manager, should we wait for the Holy Mother to return?”
“No need, come back tomorrow instead.”
“The spiritual consciousness system of Ark 002 should be paralyzed by now, it’s the perfect time to erase it.”
“The people have already left, do you plan to compete with the Holy Monarch for her? It’s just half a day out, there shouldn’t be any major issues,” Wu Liye said with a straight face, but his expression did not lighten.
“Yes, Manager.”
…
Once Sally left the Holy Palace, she felt much more relaxed.
“Frans, I don’t want to go back today. Let’s stay at a hotel outside for the night,” Sally suggested, her eyes holding a hint of flirtation.
Frans felt an immediate tightness in his lower abdomen, eager to take Sally to the hotel right away, “Hmm, so… what would you like to do first?”
Sally pointed at the massive aerial tour track in the sky, with its touring cars, “That one, I want to look at Holy City from up high.”
Frans immediately took Sally to ride the touring car.
Sitting in the touring car, Sally looked down at Holy City.
In truth, the Holy Capital Continent had much of Earth’s civilization, with lifestyle aspects reminiscent of the 20th century West.
“Xiaomei?” Sally called for Xiaomei while admiring the panoramic view of Holy City, hoping she would wake up soon.
She didn’t know what had happened to Xiaomei, but her intuition told her that something inside the Holy Palace was unfriendly to Xiaomei.
The departure from the palace was also an attempt to confirm this hunch.
Xiaomei still did not respond.
Sally’s hand was held tightly by someone.
Looking up at Frans, Sally smiled, “Let’s go eat something delicious, I’m a bit hungry.”
“Hmm, I know a good private dining restaurant not far from here, Yanyan. Would you like to try it? It might not have as many rare and exotic ingredients, but the flavor is good.”
“Sure,” Sally replied, “Is it a friend of yours?”
“Hmm, we’ve known each other since childhood.” Frans teleported with Sally to the ground, then walked towards the private dining restaurant.
