Darwin again gave orders to Clara Diana,
"Quickly change your clothes!" Darwin ordered coolly.
Clara Diana felt annoyed in her heart. She pondered, "Why do I have to change clothes again?" She shuffled off to the kitchen to change in the bathroom. Then she returned to the room and everyone stared at her in amazement. Clara Diana transformed into a handsome man dressed in military attire. Not only handsome, he was the most handsome.
Zoya was shocked and sat on the floor. A handsome man stood before her. Zoya was astonished and couldn't close her mouth. However, she managed to compare the handsomeness of Darwin, Clay, and Oscar. Darwin and Clay were known for their brilliant military careers their looks. Both men were adored by noblewomen in the Kingdom of Constantine. However, after Oscar appeared in military clothing and revealed his face, he looked more handsome than both men. Zoya corrected her judgment. "No, Oscar isn't handsome, he is handsome," she said.
Darwin turned around, laughing towards the wall. He felt amused thinking about Princess Darlene being forced to become a man following his desires. Princess Darlene transformed into Oscar, a false young man born from the "Scissors!"
Clay was stunned, he had never seen his leader laugh amusedly. "What's funny?" he asked. The handsome youth remained silent, not daring to do anything without Darwin's orders.
Darwin turned back towards Clara Diana. He acknowledged Oscar's handsomeness and said in his heart that this false youth could make a true man fall in love with him. Darwin felt insane and dismissed the crazy thoughts from his mind.
Darwin didn't know what was happening to his heart. He regretted the unpleasant actions he had taken towards Clara Diana, even using hypnosis to force the girl to confess as Princess Darlene. However, after she transformed into Oscar, he appeared more captivating than the beautiful woman in the painting.
Darwin regained his sanity. "Alright. I don't need to force her to confess again. In fact, with her appearance transformed into Oscar, she becomes far more perfect than the depiction of Princess Darlene in the painting. But why did her hair and skin change like that? Is it because of that poison?" Darwin wondered. He didn't know what poison injured the Princess.
The information he gathered showed that Princess Darlene had blonde hair and white skin, typical characteristics of the Aryan race. But now, as Oscar, the girl to be someone else, she had the skin color of a foreigner.
Darwin was doubtful, Oscar looked like Princess Darlene, Oscar looked like she came from abroad.
Darwin doubted the results of his own investigations.
However, despite some doubts, the former galley slave did indeed closely resemble the long-lost Princess Darlene, but information obtained from the slave trader and madame Butterfly dispelled his doubts.
"If my suspicions are correct, at least the existence of the enigmatic Princess Darlene will remain a mystery to everyone, unless someone else claims to be Princess Darlene. Now the important thing is to protect Princess Darlene from being pursued by Prince Lexius and the rebels! They would probably capture Princess Darlene again and imprison her in an inaccessible place.
Darwin's bright smile made Clara Diana suspicious
Secretly, Clara Diana observed Darwin's actions, looking at the man's wide smile with skepticism. A medical genius, Clara Diana had a deep understanding of psychology and human nature. Through astute observation of body language and subtle gestures, he is able to uncover a person's true intentions, despite their efforts to hide them.
The thought plagued her mind – could it be that Mr. Gilbert and his followers were planning to ensnare her, like Lexius did to Princess Darlene? Clara Diana's heart quickened, and she knew she had to remain alert.
***
Darwin and Clay took Clara Diana away to Mr. Gilbert's office. After they left, Mrs. Melani took a deep breath, feeling worried and anxious. Her facial expression turned gloomy and burdened. Recalling her first meeting with Oscar in Mr. Gilbert's office, Mrs. Melani was convinced that the kitchen slave was a woman.
Why did Darwin and Clay suddenly claim that the galley slave was a man and even give her the name "Oscar"?
Indeed, it has become a custom in the underground room, every time a slave is bought or a young woman becomes a concubine, they are given a new identity, and their true identity is erased.
Mrs. Melani is worried that the kitchen slave's new status will allow her to replace Mrs. Melani's duties as cellar manager.
Zoya showed the change in Mrs. Melani's face, which always looked beautiful and elegant, became gloomy and wrinkled, so that fine lines appeared on her face.
Zoya gets concerned. "Is Mrs. Melani worried that one day Mr. Gilbert will replace Mrs. Oscar as cellar manager? Hmmm, it doesn't matter, right, if Oscar or anyone else takes over that job.
Mrs. Melani is too busy. She gets tired. But...Madam enjoyed the added responsibility. She became richer because of it, and I benefited. This is none of my business. The important thing is that Madam is happy..." Zoya went awry.
Zoya approached Mrs. Melani, saying carefully, "Madam... the cake the young chef made hasn't been tasted yet.
Should I prepare it for Mr. Gilbert? He might like it"
Mrs. Melani was surprised, then smiled. "You're clever. That's a great idea. Prepare the cake and serve it in a pretty box!"
"Soon, madam!" Zoya excitedly rushes to the kitchen.
As Zoya packed the cake, a smile graced her lips. She didn't realize she had developed feelings for Oscar even though Oscar was previously her enemy and rival.
"What are Darwin and Clay planning to do with Oscar?" Zoya wondered.
**"**
Darwin's group arrived at Mr. Gilbert's office. Darwin turned around, his brow furrowed. Clay and Clara Diana also turned around. In the distance
They saw Mrs. Melani and her maid walking into Mr. Gilbert's office.
"Clay... hold them down!"
"Ready Sir!"
Darwin and Clara Diana entered Mr Gilbert's study. Meanwhile, Clay blocked Mrs. Melani and Zoya at the entrance.
