"Victoria, I have brought her here!"

In the midst of the battlefield, Ponte Ascart descended from the sky together with a young girl in his arms, landing into a shield formation formed by his trusted soldiers. Victoria quickly passed command rights over to her vice commander before rushing over to Ponte's side.

Victoria looked very different from how she seemed back at the Labyrinth Villa. The usual lofty look on her face was nowhere to be seen; on the contrary, she looked deeply worried. As a member of the royal family, she lived her life with a mask. She would usually play the role of a graceful and obedient woman, but at this time, she was revealing her true emotions.

As easy as it might have seemed for Ponte to strut into the middle of the enemy camp alone, it was, in reality, a mission fraught with danger. Both Prince Wade and Marquess Felder possessed powers that rivaled Ponte. Nevertheless, using his advantages as a magician of the Hextongue Faction, he still managed to shake them off with ease. His valiant exploits had not just made Roel's heart pump in excitement, but it had also further captured a certain woman's heart and boosted the morale of his allies.

"Welcome back, teacher. What's wrong with this child?"

Victoria heaved a sigh of relief on the inside after seeing Ponte landing safely on the ground before turning her sights toward the young girl he was holding under his arm. When she saw that the possessor of the royal bloodline was actually a female, she snatched the young girl over from Ponte's hands without any hesitation.

While Ponte was an upright man, as the saying went, there was no human without some sort of peculiar fetish. Due to the cost of his spells, his preferences in women were fully exposed to Victoria, and this was also Victoria's greatest trump card in keeping Ponte in check.

Yes, she knew that Ponte liked flat-chested, petite women. So far, from her observations, it didn't seem like Ponte was actually into children, but still, better safe than sorry, right?

On the other hand, Ponte was also rendered speechless by how sensitive Victoria was about this matter. He had intentionally held Nora around her waist in order to avoid any weird misunderstandings, but who could have thought that it was all futile?

"I... I really am not... Ey, forget it!"

Seeing the soldiers that were surrounding them at the moment, Ponte couldn't bring himself to say those words out loud. He knew that it was probably going to be useless anyway, as evidenced by the many times before he had tried to clarify the misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, Victoria was taking a closer look at her newly discovered blood kin, and her body froze up as soon as she saw the girl's face. The girl had beautiful facial features reminiscent of a saintly angel, golden hair that shone like sunlight, and a graceful figure. It was an appearance that even Victoria herself was awed by.

However, that wasn't the reason why her body froze up. The reason why she was so shocked was because they were simply too similar...

How could this girl look so much like her? Be it appearance or disposition, the girl looked exactly like the Victoria of 10 years ago. If not for the girl's much younger appearance, she would have thought that their mother had triplets instead of twins back then!

What's going on? How could an illegitimate child look so much like me?

Ponte was also taken aback once he had a good look at the girl's face. He was too focused on dealing with the enemies earlier that he didn't have any time to pay attention to her. But now that he was taking a closer look, he couldn't help but be confused.

They look so alike even though they don't have the same mother? Are the genes of the royal family that powerful?

"Hold on. Why is she unconscious?"
