"Madam Lu, I'll have to take Yu Zhiyu. It will be better for us to look after him compared to you and your family." Ai Daiyu said smiling looking at the two couples before her. Both of their eyes were wide with obvious shock. However, Ai Daiyu didn't mind any of that, she was more thoughtful of the child they were talking about.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say that there was nothing wrong with Yu Zhiyu?" Lu Shu Ju felt wrong. What was the meaning of this?

Ai Daiyu sighs, "Sorry Madam, But it seems we were mistaken. We have to take him away Even if it's by using force." The last sentence was spoken with great determination which made Lu Shu Ju frown.

Ai Daiyu smiled having caught a glimpse of it.

"I don't understand. Could you please consider telling me the reason behind it? For Five years, you've been saying my child's sick yet I can't seem to find anything off about him." Lu Shu Ju was firm with her tone. A love of a mother could never be faked, she was worried despite the strong face on the outside. She adored her child, how could she ever be parted away from him? And the only reason she didn't complain about their now suspicious behavior was due to them being Royal Knights, The only trusts of The Empire.

Hearing her response, Ai Daiyu raises her brow. "Madam actually dares to question your grace's direct order. That's bold of you." Regardless of the sharp words she said, she was smiling seemingly feeling amused.

"Don't change the subject. I need your answer." Lu Shu Ju glared back. She somewhat felt furious.

Ai Daiyu stared at her, before tapping the plain surface of the table with her finger which resounded through the quiet room. She appeared to be inattentive while thinking.

After what seemed like a day, Ai Daiyu finally came up with her answer which made Lu Shu Ju even more doubtful, What was it that she had to think so hard about? Lu Shu Ju bit her lips in displeasure.

Yet the answer she was waiting for, got her completely crazy.

"It will be hard for me to reveal all things but this Madam's son now has gotten your grace's attention."

Lu Shu's eye twitched, "I already know that." Her tone was flat with a hint of rage in it.

Ai Daiyu glances at her before continuing, "He's a bit special than other kids."

"..."

"We don't mean any harm but it seems we have to take him for an experiment." Ai Daiyu smiled, her gaze landing upon Lu Shu's raged face that was undeniably alluring as ever.

Her smile only became wider.

Ai Daiyu's words were crystal clear. She was simply telling her that her son would be a guinea pig for their whatsoever experiment. In this era of time, it was almost common for royal guards to check on children from different households that all of these had already become a custom for the empire's citizens, hence she didn't suspect any of their actions till now.

She felt her blood boiling, So in the end all these checkings were for such a thing?

The young well-clothed lady sitting on the sofa was staring at her with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

As if reading her thoughts, Ai Daiyu smiled calmly. "Madam, I request you to not think ahead on your own. Wouldn't it be better to discuss things before acting up against it?" Surprisingly, her words were full of expectation. Her eyes were solely staring at Lu Shu turning a blind eye to the husband that was sitting right beside her, who could be seen trembling with cold sweat.

Lu Shu's hands were clenched tightly. Taking in her words, she forces to restrain herself. That was right, she shouldn't act brashly...or else she could get herself and her son into a mess.

Ai Daiyu was seated in a relaxed way, her expression untroubled. She was waiting upon Lu Shu who was trying her best to control herself. It was unknown what she was thinking when adding to the fact when she suddenly glanced at the husband with a disdainful smile on her face.
