Then, Su Rui adjusted her position from Kal'tsit's embrace, leaning her cheek against Kal'tsit's chest. She took out her phone from the side, opened the game, and found that it was indeed as Kal'tsit had said.

"I didn't know you played this game too! We can play together sometime!"

But Kal'tsit's attention wasn't on that. She reached out and pinched Su Rui's cheek with displeasure. Because of what Su Rui had just said, she pinched it a little hard, making Su Rui actually feel a bit of pain.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you think I was uncomfortable? Why are you still leaning against me?"

Kal'tsit no longer concealed her emotions, but she did not resist Su Rui's closeness; instead, she reached out and hugged Su Rui.

"So, aren't you worried about your patients anymore?"

As soon as Su Rui started playing the game, she thought of this matter. She snuggled against Kal'tsit for a moment, then looked up at her, meeting her Kal'tsit eyes.

"You'll help me, right?"

Kal'tsit said gently, "With the data and computational support you provide, many problems can be easily solved."

"Of course, no problem... By the way, has this been how we've always gotten along?"

Su Rui asked curiously, "I don't have a very clear memory of the past. What was I like before?"

Kal'tsit's lips began to curve upwards at Su Rui's question.

Even without turning around, Su Rui could see Kal'tsit's impending smile just from a glance at the Scanning Vision.

"You seem very happy?"

"Of course, you are the child I took care of since you were little. Back then, I was just a nanny to you."

"Hmm, and then? There's no need to emphasize that; it makes me feel like I'm a generation below you."

Su Rui nodded and continued to ask questions.

Kal'tsit's eyes and personality, usually as calm as a lake, now revealed a mixture of pleasure and schadenfreude in Su Rui's eyes...

"Did something happen to us back then?" Su Rui started to panic, and Su Rui paused the game she was playing.

"Children grow up, and you'll also go through puberty and develop an interest in the women around you..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything more. So, you've gone from being just a nanny to my girlfriend, right?"

Su Rui couldn't help but raise her hand to cover Kal'tsit's mouth, but Kal'tsit had already taken the initiative and pried Su Rui's wrist open. Facing Su Rui, who had a human body, Kal'tsit acted very easily.

Then, Su Rui felt herself being suddenly pulled into this not-so-soft, but still very warm embrace, where Kal'tsit covered her mouth.

After the initial surprise, Su Rui quickly adjusted and then tackled Kal'tsit to the ground, though it was probably Kal'tsit who fell down on her own.

"Speaking of which, is Mon3tr somewhat malleable?"

"No."

After Kal'tsit finished speaking coldly, she directly raised her hand and wrapped it around Su Rui's neck, pulling Su Rui into her arms.

"I still have a lot of time today, but I'll need your help to make up for the time I spent working in the Medical Department later, okay?"

As Kal'tsit said this, Su Rui raised an eyebrow:

"Don't worry, I've already adjusted the operations of the Medical Department for you. In short, you now have some time to spend with me."

"That's good." Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Su Rui.

"Call me 'Mommy,' and let me hear it."

"... Do you want to hear what you're saying? I thought you were a very serious person, but it seems you do have this side to you."

"I raised you in my arms when you were little. Even though I'm just a nanny, it's no problem for you to call me."

Kal'tsit spoke, she pulled Su Rui along and started duo queuing.

"Hiss~ Weren't we boyfriend and girlfriend before?"

"Of course, you should remember that yourself."

"... Then why are you bleeding?"

"I've experienced death and rebirth, and my body's state is refreshed. Actually, you're the same, except that as a man, you don't have any obvious characteristics that show this difference."

"Alright, alright, I understand, Master, please stop chanting."

"Also, you've thought about Mon3tr before; it's just an Originium creation."

Okay~

Prince of Kazdel: 303 Theresa: What happened? Duo queue?

Su Rui and Kal'tsit duo queueing should theoretically go unnoticed by anyone.

After all, Su Rui had already arranged everything in the Medical Department, and Kal'tsit's work had been postponed with a suitable reason and schedule, so nothing suspicious would be discovered.

However, there are always some people who can find something unusual in the smallest details of life.

Around noon, Su Rui and Kal'tsit's duo queue ended.

Just as Su Rui and Kal'tsit were getting ready to start their work for the day, there was a knock on Su Rui's door.

"Doctor? Or is someone else here to see me?" Su Rui carefully dressed herself and leaned against the door, asking the person outside.

Then he heard a familiar voice, Theresa's voice:

"Is Su Rui Kal'tsit here? I went to the Medical Department to look for her, but she was off this morning. I can't find Kal'tsit anywhere else either."

"..." Su Rui turned to look at Kal'tsit, unsure how she wanted things resolved. Did she want Theresa to find out, or did she want her relationship with Su Rui to remain hidden?

Under Su Rui's questioning gaze, Kal'tsit nodded to Su Rui, then went to the door and opened it directly:

"Theresa, what do you need me for?"

"I just wanted to talk to you about what's been happening at the Babel lately. You and Su Rui are here..."

Theresa's gaze swept over Kal'tsit and Su Rui, her question clear.

Kal'tsit didn't try to hide anything, nodding to Theresa: "We've always been very close."

"I see, I understand now."

Theresa smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Su Rui.

Although Theresa's actions weren't obvious, and could even be described as flawless, Su Rui noticed from the Scanning Vision that she was taking deep breaths, or rather, sniffing the air.

To be honest, because of Theresa's visit, Su Rui and Kal'tsit hadn't had a chance to wash off the sweat.

"... I'm going to take a shower, you guys can continue your conversation."

Su Rui glanced at Theresa and Kal'tsit, then closed the electronically controlled door and went into the bathroom, leaving Kal'tsit and Theresa to sit in the living room.

"Kal'tsit, are you going to take a shower too? I don't mind waiting a bit; we have plenty of time."

Theresa smiled as she looked at Kal'tsit and made a suggestion to her.

"No need for that now. After Su Rui comes out, you and he can discuss the tactical arrangements for the Babel. I'll take a shower while I'm at that time."

Kal'tsit nodded, glanced in the direction of the bathroom, thought for a moment, and summoned her summoned creature:

"Mon3tr, go keep an eye on Su Rui, make sure he doesn't fall."

The monster made of Originium let out a cheerful hiss, then approached the bathroom and gently tapped on the glass door with its sharp claws.

"Mon3tr? Is something the matter?" Su Rui opened the bathroom door directly, and white steam spread out from the bathroom. Her head, which had already been soaked, looked even more alluring and unguarded.

The monster made of Originium let out a few hissing sounds, which most people could only hear as pleasant noises, but for Su Rui, he could understand the thoughts of the Mon3tr before him.

So Su Rui opened the bathroom door and walked in, saying somewhat helplessly:

"Kal'tsit is being a bit too cautious. I'm an adult, after all. I'm not so bad at taking a bath that I can't even do it properly. Besides, it's not that easy to slip and fall in the bathroom. I'll still be very careful."

"A pleasant neighing sound~"

"Of course I know that. Okay, okay, just keep it here. Oh, by the way, could you get me a towel? You'd be perfect as a storage rack here."

The sounds of Su Rui interacting with the monster made of Originium came from the bathroom. Kal'tsit and Theresa were silent at the moment, as if they were listening intently, or perhaps they were lost in thought.

Then, when the sound of hot water dripping onto the floor once again drowned out the conversation, and seeing that there was nothing more to hear, Kal'tsit looked at Theresa in front of her:

"Theresa, do you have any particular thoughts about Su Rui?"

"I trust you, Kal'tsit. Whether it's you or the Doctor, I certainly trust Su Rui as well... And although he's a bit straightforward, I can tell that Su Rui is trustworthy. It's precisely because he trusts us that he acts so naturally, isn't it?"

"Of course." Kal'tsit nodded, but in her heart she was thinking about Theresa's words, "Su Rui's personality is indeed a bit reckless. We adults have spoiled him a bit. Although I hate to admit it, his attitude towards you is already the friendliest he can be."

"Really? I never expected to be so favored."

Theresa smiled and continued her discussion about the Babel with Kal'tsit, but she would occasionally bring up Suri, trying to subtly extract information about Su Rui from Kal'tsit in various ways.

"... Su Rui generally doesn't communicate well with the enemy. Most of the time, what the enemy hears are a few sarcastic remarks or rebukes."

Kal'tsit thought for a moment, "Sometimes he likes to take matters into his own hands, lead his team to the enemy leader, and then bombard them in the head with the largest caliber weapon."

Kal'tsit and Theresa's conversation continued for a while. Su Rui had finished showering and came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel and drying her white hair with a towel. She went straight to the living room to greet Kal'tsit.

"Kal'tsit, I'm all washed up, you can come in now~"

"I understand." Kal'tsit stood up, frowning as she looked at Su Rui. "Su Rui, mind your manners in front of guests."

For Su Rui, Theresa wasn't yet at a point where they could get along like this, which left Kal'tsit feeling somewhat helpless.

"Don't worry about Kal'tsit, I don't mind."

Theresa's gaze swept over Su Rui, but she continued to look at Su Rui with her usual smile, "Would you like me to help you dry your hair?"

"No need, I've already finished wiping."

As Su Rui said this, she casually put the towel into her System Space, and then the bath towel on her body also disappeared.

Theresa felt a blur before her eyes, and then she saw Su Rui already dressed in his clothes and sitting down on the sofa in front of her.

"It's just a clever use of my abilities." Su Rui looked at Theresa:

"Now, let's talk about the plans for the future."

Prince Kazdel: 304 Elbows on Wis'adel

"We can put aside those who need assassination or persuasion for now. The most important thing, and I think that's what you'll care about too, is this."

As Su Rui spoke, he took out his phone and placed it in front of Theresa. Then, the phone showed again the warlord who had profited by betraying his Sarkaz compatriots during the war, as Su Rui had shown him before.

"You should still have some impression of this person, and you might have seen the information I sent you after you went back about the things he did?"

"Yes, Theresis and I clashed because of our different ideologies, but ultimately, we both wanted to find a better future for the Sarkaz."

Theresa's expression was somewhat sorrowful. "People who profit by betraying their own countrymen are simply intolerable."

Su Rui nodded in satisfaction at Theresa's attitude.

"In that case, I'll continue with my plan."

"Okay, please begin." Theresa nodded, and then Su Rui began to explain his plan.

The plan was actually very simple, without any twists or turns.

In the current Sarkaz kingdom, there is practically no internet access available to ordinary citizens, so the idea of using the internet to publish evidence is rather wishful thinking.

Su Rui had an even simpler method: there were still some electronically controlled mechanisms in the Sarkaz city.

All Su Rui needs to do is take his men and use those mechanisms to release the arrested people and the Sarkaz who were betrayed.

Some rumors can make that person extremely anxious, but what follows is the real show.

Theresa interrupted Su Rui midway, "Wait a minute, if we want to deal with him, why not just arrest him and then release the evidence?"

Theresa didn't quite understand why Su Rui would do so much even though she had the evidence.

"Of course, it's to make him suffer the punishment from the Sarkaz. Imagine him surrounded by those enraged Sarkaz who discovered they'd been betrayed, and he's completely unarmed. Kazdel needs a bit of bloodshed to keep those dim-witted fools in line."

Su Rui was very satisfied with her plan and looked at Theresa with anticipation.

The Sarkaz woman, with white hair just like Su Rui, bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before looking at Su Rui:

"I hope all the Sarkaz who have been betrayed can be rescued, at least starting now. Is that possible?"

"Don't worry, now that he's been targeted, all his actions will be stopped by me. This is to make him furious and then expose himself."

Su Rui nodded. "However, there's nothing I can do about the ones he's already sold. Some of them might already be... you know."
