Chapter 277: Yecheng: Identification? I'm the One Who Kidnapped Her!
Chapter 277: Yecheng: Identification? I'm the One Who Kidnapped Her!
Yecheng, being the top student of the Mage Swordsman Academy and already well-known, was less likely to be suspected. However, Sida's luck took a turn for the worse.
As a mere extra, Sida was unremarkable and didn't draw much attention. But for some reason, he suddenly became Princess Alekshia's lover, and soon after, Princess Alekshia mysteriously disappeared.
With these circumstances, it was only natural for Sida to be suspected.
Just as the Royal Knight Order was about to take Sida away, Clareya appeared and was willing to vouch for her brother with her life.
Clareya was well aware that her brother was a good-for-nothing. Not only did he lack the courage to kidnap a princess, but even if he had the guts, Clareya believed Sida didn't possess such abilities.
Indeed, Princess Alekshia's swordsmanship talent was ordinary, and she was often mocked as the "Ordinary Sword."
But this was a relative assessment. Compared to Yecheng, Clareya, or Alice, who were renowned swordsmanship geniuses, Princess Alekshia's skills could only be considered mediocre.
However, if compared to other students at the Mage Swordsman Academy, Princess Alekshia's skills were at least above average.
While not exceptional, she was more than capable of defeating her useless brother.
So, it was only natural for Clareya to believe that her brother was being framed.
"Princess Alekshia has had frequent contact with three people recently.
If it's not Sida Kageno, then it must be Yecheng Omega, right? Unless it's her fiance, Jeno Gulify?"
Compared to Yecheng and Sida, Alice naturally trusted Jeno Gulify more. After all, he was not only Princess Alekshia's fiance but also a renowned Mage Swordsman in the capital, and an old acquaintance of Alice.
"Princess Alice, I think your suspicion is too limited.
Why is it that when Princess Alekshia goes missing, the only people who could have kidnapped her are the three of us? Couldn't it be some other mysterious organization?"
When Yecheng finished speaking, Jeno Gulify, standing beside him, shot him a dangerous look, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.
"Nonsense! This is the capital of the Midgar Kingdom, guarded by the Royal Knight Order. Not only will there not be any mysterious organizations, but even petty thieves will be punished by the guards if they dare to show their faces in the capital."
Alice was confident, not only because of her own abilities but also because she was in command of the Royal Knight Order.
If there truly was a mysterious organization capable of abducting Princess Alekshia, the second princess, without a trace, what was the difference between that and rubbing the Royal Knight Order's face in the dirt?
In the end, Yecheng and Sida were placed under surveillance and confined by the Royal Knight Order.
Jeno Gulify, also a suspect, received special treatment, allowing him to move freely as long as he didn't leave the capital.
The reason was simple: Jeno Gulify was not only a teacher at the Mage Swordsman Academy but also held a noble title and medal granted by the kingdom.
Even the Royal Knight Order couldn't detain him without solid evidence.
As for Yecheng and Sida, both sons of barons, one who hadn't inherited his title and the other without even the right of inheritance, were mere students with no say in the matter.
"I never expected the capital to be so chaotic. A princess of royal blood has gone missing right here in the capital.
Speaking of which, Princess Alexia is missing. Should I still get paid for pretending to be her lover today? After all, I'm currently under house arrest because of her, you know."
Sida didn't seem to mind his own house arrest too much. Although they were confined to a room, they had food and drink, and their movements weren't restricted. If they could clear their names, it wasn't an unacceptable situation.
"It's a bit troublesome. It's one thing that Jeno Gulifi is also under house arrest with us.
But now, that guy is free to move around while we're stuck here. Isn't Princess Alexia just waiting to die?"
Sida, who had been yawning out of boredom, suddenly froze upon hearing Yecheng's words. Then, he looked at Yecheng with disbelief.
"So, Yecheng, what's the deal with Princess Alexia's disappearance?
Why didn't you say anything earlier? If you had pointed the finger at Jeno Gulifi just now, we wouldn't be stuck here like this."
To be honest, Sida wasn't overly concerned about whether Princess Alexia was missing or kidnapped. After all, they weren't that close.
What caught Sida's attention was that Yecheng seemed to know the ins and outs of the situation, and if something piqued Yecheng's interest, it was usually no small matter.
"I'm not pointing any fingers. I'm his accomplice, or perhaps I'm the mastermind behind Princess Alexia's kidnapping.
If I had pointed the finger at Jeno Gulifi in front of the First Princess just now, do you think the kingdom's strongest Mage Swordsman wouldn't have been the first to swing his sword at me?"
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Sida froze again, feeling his brain was a bit overloaded.
From Yecheng's tone, Sida could tell that Yecheng was probably thinking of rescuing Princess Alexia. But now, this guy seemed to be the culprit behind the kidnapping. What was going on?
"Lord Shadow, I believe Lord Night's intention was to infiltrate the Diabros Cult as an undercover agent. Unfortunately, the First Princess, in her ignorance, had both of you confined.
Despite their weak abilities, they arrogantly believed the capital was impenetrable, unaware that the Diabros Cult's minions had already infiltrated the capital."
Yecheng was about to say something when two figures appeared in the shadows, kneeling. Among them was the beautiful blonde elf, Alpha, who answered Sida's question on Yecheng's behalf.
"So, you're saying that the person who kidnapped Princess Alexia is a member of the Diabros Cult, and that guy, Jeno Gulifi, is also part of the cult. Yecheng's cooperation with them is mainly to find their hidden base and other leaders?"
Although Sida was a bit dramatic, he wasn't a fool. After hearing Alpha's explanation, he understood the intention behind Yecheng's earlier actions.
However, he hadn't expected that the Diabros Cult usually only targeted young female children. While Princess Alexia could be considered a woman, her voluptuous figure was far from that of a child.
