Seeing the Duke's powerless resistance, Ada was thinking: Not only does he have no ability, he even has no brains, and he actually poisoned the palace...

"If Uncle Arthur was willing to fight, this guy would have disappeared long ago."

"Alas..." Eric sighed helplessly at this scene.

"An employee was poisoned in the banquet hall of the palace. Although Haines is capable enough to conduct an internal investigation..."

"But it's clear that the Emperor doesn't trust the Duke's ability (otherwise how could the guards be so fast?)."

Whoosh whoosh——

The wind was blowing all around, but the doors and windows were closed.

When people came to their senses, they heard screams.

"Young Master?! Ah!"

Eve sensed that her main body was in danger and released the magician's mechanical subordinates she created. They flew out of the portal and stunned everyone present.

(Setting: In order to distinguish between Esther and her "sister and brother", the puppets call Eve "Mrs." or "Nun" and Ivan "Master")

When the robot minions saw Ivan's miserable condition, they let out a sharp explosion.

Then, a very tall magician puppet quickly picked up Ivan and took him out of the portal:

"We must take the young master back for treatment. It's too dangerous here!"

Another fully armed magician (this one is a real person) kneels on one knee before Ada:

"I'm so sorry, we're late.

"My lady, the palace is no longer safe. I think we must take you back with us.

"Poisoning a magician is a heinous crime, not to mention that Master Ivan is the chief's only relative. For your safety, I think we have to leave now."

Ada hesitated and turned to look at Eric.

Eric also received the signal and waved goodbye to Ada:

"I'm in a high position, nothing will happen to me. Go back and hide for a while. I'll come find you then."

Ada nodded, then put her hand on the hand of the magician who was protecting her.

Whoosh whoosh——

The magician took Ada and left quickly.

...

Eric put his hands in his pockets and watched the incident end in this way:

"Alas...I will hear some explosive news again in the near future..."

There were two more pairs of eyes behind Eric—they were the lord and lady standing at the door!

However, the Lord and his wife did not pay attention to the conversation between Ada and Eric, nor did they want to care about the trial of the Duke. Although there was no exchange of words or eye contact between them, they were paying attention to the same target.

That is Ada with white hair and golden eyes.

(Automatically ignore the inconspicuous Eric)

When Ada turned her head, the couple noticed her golden eyes and her exact resemblance to Mrs. Jones.

The lord's mind popped up the Queen's banquet twenty years ago - standing in the center of the crowd, the most dazzling white-haired beauty, the former Saint Nancy.

The mother and daughter are simply cut from the same cloth!

How come he didn't remember how he tortured Nancy that night:

"I have met countless women, but there are not many beauties like Nancy..."

The Lord made a quick calculation in his mind: he had done it to Nancy twenty years ago, and there was a gap of time between them.

Twenty years later, Ada is twenty years old and appears at the Queen's banquet...

White hair and golden eyes again...

The lord smiled slyly, and he confirmed that Ada was his daughter:

"Oh my god, Nancy hid from me for so many years...my daughter!"

As for the Lady?

She was the third party who personally broke up the couple (the Lord and Nancy were already engaged), so how come she doesn't remember how she got to the top by force?

So, seeing that Ada and Nancy look exactly alike...

A feeling of fear came over me.

Her hands, which were holding the fan, were shaking:

“What? Nancy actually survived and protected Alex’s oldest daughter—Alex actually did it to her behind my back?!”

The couple's hearts are of course different:

One was to feel fortunate that his daughter had inherited Haynes' golden eyes.

One is fear, fearing that Nancy will eventually expose the crimes she has committed.

Ada's appearance undoubtedly hit the soft spot of the lord and his wife.

The lord didn't care whether his daughter was real or fake, he just wanted to know that Haines' star was really born under his knees.

The Lady Lord actually cared about this matter - if Ada was a real star, then what was the point of Lilibe, whom she had raised for 12 years?

But the two of them changed their minds:

(Lord's heart)

"Oh no! If my daughter is still alive, Nancy will brainwash her and make her think that I am a bad father... How can I bring her home?!"

(Lady's inner thoughts)

"Wait, she has white hair and golden eyes. She should be more suitable to be called a saint than a fake. If she were a real star, I could justifiably kick the fake out of my house!"

The couple made up their minds:

"Looks like we need to investigate this girl's background!"

-

Magic Tower.

The exit of the teleportation magic gate was in the chief magician's workshop. Soon the light gate was opened, and the magic machine escorted Ada and the dying Ivan here.

When Ada came out, she saw Eve, wearing a black nun's uniform, standing at the door, having been waiting for them for a long time.

Under her manipulation, the puppets quickly sent Ivan to the treatment room.

"Eve (Ivan), are you okay?" Ada got off the machine and ran to Eve, looking at her constantly.

Because this triggered the "protection mechanism of Esther and her brother": once the original body is on the verge of death, Jiaming's soul will be injected into the clone body, and it will not return to normal until the toxins in Ivan's body are metabolized.

Eve smiled bitterly and waved her hands: "I feel like I'm almost dead. Can you imagine the feeling of having your internal organs corroded by acid?"

Ada looked at Ivan's body being sent to the treatment room, and now she felt scared:

"Haines actually did something bad to you - I can hardly imagine what would happen to me if I stayed there and took advantage of Haines..."

Eve interrupted Ada's fantasy and put her hand on Ada's shoulder to comfort her:

"You've been frightened a lot today, so you should get some rest. Don't worry about me."

"Yeah. I'm leaving."

Ada left without any suspicion.

After watching Ada leave, the corners of Eve's mouth rose slightly.

However, her real body was actually poisoned and fell to the ground in public, causing extreme panic.

Not long ago, after the original Ivan fell into a coma, the split soul merged into one and poured into the clone. After she had received the original's memory, Eve stood up with the help of the desk.

"Tsk..."

Eve held her head and laughed silently.

"Sweeney didn't control his dosage well. If he hadn't kept a backup plan, he would have really gotten himself killed."

However, as long as the goal is achieved...

And as Ivan’s sister, she was definitely going to cause trouble.
