Volume 3, Chapter 81 – Ysera

The timing of Shaman Fuyi discovering the problem could be called extremely timely.

Because Fuyi had sensed that something was wrong in time, and had also very promptly come up with a countermeasure.

Not long after that, when Tianyin and Fischerna hurried over to the Beastman camp together, what they saw was only a mess and an empty, ruined camp.

“Huh, huh… where is everyone?”

Still not knowing what had happened, Tianyin looked around blankly.

Everywhere she looked was in shambles. After thinking for a bit, Tianyin realized the truth.

Which was…

“Th-th-th-th-they ran away!!!?”

“Ehh ehh ehh, how is that even possible, why would something this weird happen?! Why would they run!”

Tianyin could not figure it out no matter how hard she thought.

Because she did not know that there was a Legendary Shaman among the Beastman reinforcements, Tianyin had always believed that her side’s information had not been exposed.

But these were the Beastman troops that were supposed to go reinforce someone. Why would they run?

It was hard to imagine, but the fact was laid out in front of her. No matter how unwilling Tianyin was to accept it, she had to admit this reality.

“My lord… it looks like someone among the Beastmen must have noticed that something was wrong, so they left very quickly.”

Fischerna, on the other hand, was very calm.

“In that case, it looks like it will not be long before your forces are exposed as well. After all, the news of the Northern Fortress army being wiped out will surely spread very soon. Once that happens, it will cause a lot of problems.”

Out of the good impression she had of Tianyin, Fischerna gave a very rational analysis.

“Ah, I know that much too…”

Tianyin also understood this in her heart. After all, the news that over two hundred thousand Beastmen had been annihilated would be exposed sooner or later, and once the truth came out, it would inevitably expose Eden’s existence.

Sister Xiaomu would definitely have a way, right?

Tianyin still had high hopes for Xingyu Muxi in her heart. After all, in Tianyin’s mind, the current Sister Xiaomu was already an omnipotent existence.

“Wuu… Xiaoyin…”

While Tianyin and Fischerna were talking, Xiaobingxue, who had been resting in the war chariot the whole time, sleepily came over.

Perhaps because she had just woken up not long ago, the eyes on her small face were half squinted, and the face that was usually expressionless now had an unusually cute, lazy look.

In Tianyin’s field of vision, once Xiaobingxue found her, she pounced at her without the slightest hesitation…

“Ah wuu… X-Xiaobingxue, don’t suddenly pounce on me like that, there is someone else here!”

“Someone else?”

Still sprawled on Tianyin, Xiaobingxue opened her eyes a little and her gaze calmly swept over the Headless Knight Fischerna.

“Weird person.”

“What do you mean weird person, she is a Legendary you know! And hurry and get down already!”

“Wuu.”

Xiaobingxue let out a sound that did not really mean anything, but she did not loosen the way she was hugging Tianyin.

“Ysera… Your Highness Ysera…”

However, while Tianyin was still fretting over how to get Xiaobingxue off of her, the Headless Knight Fischerna’s suddenly agitated voice rang by her ear.

“Is that you, Your Highness Ysera…”

Frost Dragon Ysera was actually who Xiaobingxue had been before. To be precise, Ysera was Xiaobingxue’s true personality, and Xiaobingxue was actually only Ysera’s second personality.

In terms of primary and secondary, Ysera was clearly one level above Xiaobingxue.

“Ysera?”

Because the personality in control was still Xiaobingxue, the name Ysera only made her tilt her head in confusion.

“Has Your Highness Ysera forgotten me…”

“Suu…”

Even though she had no emotions, being passionately called by some other name by a complete stranger all of a sudden was still scary even for Xiaobingxue as a deadpan loli.

After burying her head in Tianyin’s arms, Xiaobingxue stopped responding to Fischerna altogether.

“Uhh… Fischerna, don’t get so worked up… Xiaobingxue actually is not Ysera.”

“Impossible, she is Ysera, Frost Dragon Ysera, there is no way I could be mistaken!”

This was bad…

That was Tianyin’s instinctive thought.

After all, in front of Tianyin, Xiaobingxue’s true identity really was Frost Dragon Ysera, but because of the difference in personality, Xiaobingxue did not have much impression of the Graveyard undead.

“Ever since the Grand Duke died, you have been the only Throne left to us in the Graveyard, Your Highness Ysera. In truth, the reason I remained in the Main World was to find the missing you… Your Highness Ysera…”

Back when Xingyu Muxi had mentioned Ysera and the Undead Grand Duke, it had led Fischerna to suspect that Ysera might be with Tianyin’s group.

That was why she had agreed to that string of requests from Xingyu Muxi.

To Fischerna, aside from having to properly educate her descendant Fisiel, the most important thing was to find Ysera, who had gone missing after the Undead Grand Duke’s death, and bring her back to the Graveyard to inherit the Undead Grand Duke’s position.

What Fischerna had not expected at all was that Ysera seemed to have already joined Tianyin’s Eden.

And not only that, she even seemed to have forgotten the Graveyard.

“She really is not Ysera… Fischerna, calm down… Xiaobingxue is another personality of Ysera, and the real Ysera fell into a slumber after the Undead Grand Duke died…”

“Why… why would it be like this?”

Rеaԁ on ΚatRеаdіnɡСаfе

Sensing the confusion in the headless knight before her, Tianyin had no choice but to patiently explain Xiaobingxue’s situation.

After spending quite a long time, Fischerna, who had not understood what had happened to Ysera, finally got it.

“So Ysera… chose to sleep because she could not accept the Grand Duke’s death?”

Downcast, disappointed.

Tianyin could feel the complicated emotions filling Fischerna’s words.

“The choice was Ysera’s own decision, but the position of Grand Duke of the Graveyard still needs Ysera to inherit it…”

After learning that the Undead Grand Duke had fallen in battle, Ysera had chosen to escape. In order to avoid facing that reality, she had let herself fall into endless sleep.

It was understandable, but in Fischerna’s eyes, this behavior was nothing but cowardly and incompetent.

“Alright… if Ysera is asleep, even though I want her to return and inherit the Grand Duke’s position, in this state she does not have the ability to become Grand Duke. My lord, I will leave Ysera in your care for now… but for the sake of Ysera’s safety, please allow me to assist you in the coming war against the Beastmen.”

“Th-This, let me think about it first…”

The plot twist really had come far too quickly.

They had originally set out with the goal of wiping out the Beastmen, so how had it ended up turning into them somehow dragging in a reinforcement army of undead?
