Chapter 26 - The Lake Of Eternity!

Mr. Gilbert's study,_

Mr. Gilbert spoke in a loud voice in the room, surprising Clara Diana. "Princess Darlene, welcome! Please take a seat!" Mr. Gilbert said respectfully. His attitude was much better than when he first met Clara Diana.

"You know that!" Clara Diana said sarcastically.She acted like an arrogant noble princess. However, in Clara Diana's mind, she was surprised that these people believed that she was Princess Darlene.

"Hmm!" Clara Diana sat gracefully.

Mr.Gilbert believes that she is Princess Darlene, so why doesn't she accept this as a gift! This will make it easier for her to investigate the Constantine Kingdom and this will be a way for her to find out about Princess Darlene's family on Alexa.

"Mr. Gilbert, how do you know my identity?" asked Clara Diana while acting relaxed and indifferent. The arrogant attitude of a noble female knight.

Mr. Gilbert smiled at the princess's fierce attitude, which made him even more convinced of Princess Darlene's truth, no doubt.

"Your Majesty... You flatter me too much. I the fool, got information about you from your family on Alexa!"

Many people know that Mr. Gilbert used to have a good relationship with Lady Avisha, Princess Darlene's birth mother. And Mr. Gilbert put many of his men there to protect his former lover. But the Princess Darlene didn't know that, Clara Diana, who was new to this field.

"Is that so?!" Clara Diana smiled at Mr. Gilbert's humble attitude, but in reality the man was showing off his skills proudly.

"Princess Darlene… please forgive me, may I call you Oscar?"

"I don't mind!" Clara Diana answered casually, but with her attitude she showed her graceful nobility and at the same time showed the character of a strong female warrior.

Everyone knows who Princess Darlene is. She was a great knight on the battlefield and had a large army. That way, Clara Diana doesn't need to hide her prowess in martial arts or anything else. Now everything is easy for him. Clara Diana laughed inwardly. What would happen if they found out she wasn't Princess Darlene? The woman was dead, buried by the calm lake.

Mr. Gilbert was amazed and chuckled in his heart. Meanwhile, Darwin suddenly felt like he was nobody. The superior and oppressive attitude he previously displayed towards Princess Darlene made it like he was no match for her.

Princess Darlene hides her identity so deeply that the powerful Mr. Gilbert cannot detect the girl's spiritual powers.

****

"I'm impressed, Princess. Your skill in changing appearance, adapting, and surviving arouses my curiosity," Mr. Gilbert said honestly. "This is a rare talent, and I am grateful to have found you and it is an honor to protect you in this palace."

Clara Diana couldn't help but laugh, seeing through the old man's genuine-looking facade. However, deep inside, he felt worried. She knew she should be grateful and overjoyed at this unexpected opportunity, but the shock of it all left him with conflicting emotions. Clara Diana can't wait to take revenge on the people responsible for Princess Darlene's death

Previously, Clara Diana felt confused about where to start. She felt he had to tread carefully, not knowing who she was up against.

"I apologize deeply, Princess, may I ask...?" Mr. Gilbert spoke carefully.

Clara Diana opened her hand to invite Mr. Gilbert to speak, but Clara Diana's attitude did not change, indifferent and relaxed. Inwardly he laughed at Mr. Gilbert's careful speech

However, she had to maintain her appearance as Princess Darlene. Oh, how pleasant this role is!" Clara Diana imagined King Alves' anger when he found out that Clara Diana was enjoying her sentence.

Mr. Gilbert didn't know why Clara Diana was smiling. But he was relieved that Princess Darlene didn't hold a grudge. He was relieved that Princess Darlene showed her identity.

"I'm sorry, Princess, I wonder why you didn't fight back when the slave traders caught you? They weren't your opponents. You could have fought back and finished them off or..."

Clara Diana's expression turned sour, "What's your business? Do I have to explain?"

"Please forgive me, Princess. I mean, but you don't have to go through all this... I..."

"I don't want to discuss it!" Clara Diana's words seemed as if she didn't want to reveal the suffering and humiliation the two had experienced.

Mr. Gilbert felt increasingly guilty because he didn't immediately realize Princess Darlene's true identity. He didn't understand Prince Lexus' intention of hiding the princess in Constantine's kingdom.

Did he think Constantine's kingdom was backward because it was poor? Outrageous, this is an insult! Mr. Gilbert was furious.

Did Prince Lexius torture Princess Darlene through someone else's hands?

"He's a human with a devil's heart!" Mr. Gilbert seethed inwardly.

***

.Mr Gilbert could curse in his heart.

Clara Diana sat with one leg propped up on her knee. Currently enjoying the suffering of Mr Gilbert who feels guilty. She was amused by Mr. Darwin's feeling of inferiority, who had been standing not far from Clara Diana, now receding back with his face lowered.

The man who had previously acted arrogantly now stood up without confidence.

Previously he had doubts about the authenticity of Princess Darlene. Now Darwin saw when the princess showed off her hooves and showed off her prowess by acting arrogantly. Darwin felt afraid. He felt small and humiliated in front of Princess Darlene.

He means, even the great Mr. Gilbert is no match for the greatness of Princess Darlene, who is the crown princess and who is the leader of the Alexa kingdom's special forces.

The room fell silent. Messrs. Gilbert and Darwin were speechless.

Meanwhile Mr Gilbert is determined to be more open.

Please forgive me, princess, let me convey my wishes to you... if you don't want to..." "Just say it... say it!" Clara Diana was impatient. Mr Gilbert took a deep breath. "It's true what people say, Princess Darlene. people don't like beating around the bush!"_ "Well, Miss, we want to invite you to join our ranks, namely fighting the polytheists who want to take the key to the lake of eternity..."

"WHAT?" Clara Diana Diana widened her eyes in surprise. Did she not hear you correctly? Is there a key to the lake of eternity? Is it true?

Finally, Clara Diana found a way to go home. Clara became happy but on the surface she was cynical towards Mr Gilbert

"Hmm, So that's your goal!"
