"I was once a maidservant who served the Second Generation Holy Child."

The others were also startled upon hearing the maid's words.

As the only two people present who knew about Luo Mio's background, Kiyomi and Chizuru Kaseyo both looked at Luo Mio.

Luo Mio was also stroking her chin.

The girl has a fiancé? How come I didn't know?

Kiyomi glanced at the maid, then at the Guard Officer behind her, and said, "You all go out first and inform His Your Highness Holy Child."

Upon hearing Kiyomi's words, the Guard Officer also left the waiting room.

Then Kiyomi looked at the maid and said to her.

"This is His Highness the Your Highness Holy Child's older brother, and also the biological son of the Second Generation Holy Child."

He introduced Luo Mio to the maid.

However, when the maid heard Kiyomi's words, she also showed a look of doubt and suspicion.

The old maid frowned, glanced at Luo Mio, and then looked at Kiyomi, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about! The Second Generation Holy Child only gave birth to the current Holy Child, where did he get a son?"

Those slightly murky eyes stared at Kiyomi and demanded, "Who are you? Where are Lord Hoshikage Hisomi and Tendou Kikunojou?"

Upon hearing the old maid's question, Luo Mio nodded thoughtfully.

They knew about Xingjian and the old man Tiantong, but not about Luo Mio. It's likely that Luo Miao only came to live with his mother after he left the "Holy Abode," so they didn't know about his background.

Kiyomi ignored the old maid's words and turned to Luo Mio, asking, "Mr. Todou, what should we do?"

The old maid was enraged by the Kiyomi and unreasonable attitude of being ignored, and she stepped forward and raised her hand.

Just as her hand was about to strike, a clear and melodious voice rang out.

A pure white-clad young girl stood outside the door, solemnly addressing the old maid.

"Stop!"

"Your Highness Holy Child!"

Upon seeing the girl, Kiyomi and the old maid also bowed down.

Only Luo Mio and the frivolous young man were absent.

Upon seeing the Holy Child, the frivolous youth's eyes blazed with intense greed and lust.

Seeing the desire in his eyes, Luo Mio sighed slightly. Looking at the man in front of her, Luo Mio couldn't help but recall the reckless grandson of Ujima a few days ago, as well as Howaki Hoshikage Takuto of Ujima Hiroki's subordinates.

Luo Mio looked at the girl.

Undeniably, the girl possesses unparalleled beauty that surpasses any star or idol, and she had previously survived numerous assassination attempts.

Many of these fanatical supporters were assassinated because their intense greed and possessiveness led them to lose control.

Even in the management and record-keeping database of threatening letters and crime warnings sent to "Holy Residence," there are countless such letters, not to mention the number in the email inbox.

The old maid was the first to complain to the Holy Child, saying, "Your Highness Holy Child, this person dared to find someone who is neither male nor female and has hair similar to yours and claim him His Highness your own brother! Your Highness Holy Child..."

"Shut up!"

Before she could finish speaking, the girl's clear voice, tinged with anger, rang out.

The old maid looked up at the girl, only to see anger flashing in the girl's silver-gray eyes.

"Kikunyan, do you know that what you just said could land you in prison for the rest of your life?"

"Huh?"

The girl ignored the old maid's fearful expression and turned to look at the young man. After seeing the look in his eyes that made her feel disgusted and nauseous, the girl said coldly.

"Besides, I've never had a fiancé!"

Upon hearing the girl's words, both the old maid and the frivolous young man's faces fell.

"Your Highness Holy Child, what are you saying?!" The old maid hurriedly said to the girl, "This marriage was arranged by your mother, the Second Generation Holy Child His Highness!"

"Could it be... that you chose this androgynous person to avoid acknowledging this marriage agreement?"

Upon hearing the old maid's words, Kiyomi and Chizuru Kaseyo both showed expressions of utter despair.

The girl's already unpleasant expression turned even angrier.

Upon hearing the old maid's words, the frivolous young man standing nearby turned even uglier and walked up to Luo Mio, pointing at her and speaking in an arrogant and angry tone.

"You brat, how dare you touch my fiancée!"

After saying that, he raised his hand, clenched his fist, and swung it at Luo Mio.

However, just as it was about to strike Luo Mio, Chizuru Kaseyo stepped in front of Luo Mio and then gently waved his hand.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the frivolous youth was sent flying and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the old maid quickly helped the boy up and shouted at Chizuru Kaseyo, "What are you doing?! This is Mr. Naohori's grandson!"

"Um?"

Luo Mio was slightly taken aback when she heard the old maid say the name Naohori.

Seeing everyone's stunned expression, the frivolous young man who had been helped up glared fiercely at Chizuru Kaseyo and Luo Mio.

"Oh, I see... He's that lecherous old scoundrel Naohori's grandson."

Luo Mio looked at the frivolous young man and touched her chin.

"No wonder it looked familiar."

"You lecherous old scoundrel..."

The old maid shouted at Luo Mio in shock and anger, "Are you courting death! Mr. Naohori was once one of the highest-ranking officials in the Far East!"

Luo Mio shrugged indifferently, and then the girl beside her spoke coldly to the old maid.

"Kikunyan, I'm afraid you don't know this yet."

The old maid looked at the girl after hearing the voice.

"Naohori Tsuguto was executed on the spot for treason after my own brother discovered that he had conspired to seize control of the Tokyo Area a few days ago!"

Naohori Tsuguto was one of the group of old geezers that Luo Mio had previously dealt with in the bamboo Xiao Yuan.

The one who's short and has a sleazy appearance.

Upon hearing the girl's words, the old maid and the frivolous young man stood there dumbfounded.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, the girl took out her phone and made a call.

When Luo Mio saw the girl take out her phone, she was slightly taken aback, and then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly shuddered.

Shortly after, the call went through, and the girl put it on speakerphone.

"Hello? Why are you calling my shop so early, honey?"

A very mature and sophisticated voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing this voice, Luo Mio's lips twitched slightly.

Upon hearing the word "baby," the girl blushed slightly.

"Good morning, Mother. I'm very sorry, but I have something to ask you now."

Dear Mother.

The person the girl is talking to now is none other than Luo Mio's adoptive mother, the Second Generation Holy Child!

"Hmm, you go ahead."

"You've arranged a marriage for me?"

"..."

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone, and then...

"Haaaaaaaah?"

The mature, sophisticated woman's voice immediately expressed her doubt.

"When did I arrange a marriage for you? Who told you that?"

Upon hearing this, the old maid felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.

The girl glanced at the old maid with a blank expression, and then said.

"That's what Kikunyan, and the person she's engaged to is Naohori Tsuguto's grandson."

"Kikunyan?"

Luo Mio's cheap mother's lazy, mature voice suddenly turned serious as she asked the girl, "Is Kikunyan with you now?"

"Hmm," the girl said coldly, "And she even brought her so-called fiancé with her in front of me."

Upon hearing the girl's voice, Luo Mio's mother fell silent.

Then he gave a sarcastic snort.

"Kikunyan, I remember you were born in the Naohori branch family, right? Back then, that old rogue Naohori Tsuguto wanted me to be his daughter-in-law, but unfortunately he didn't succeed. Now he's involved with my precious daughter?"

"I am utterly disgusted by this kind of arranged marriage, would I really be the kind of person who would arrange an arranged marriage for my daughter?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's mother's voice, the old maid Kikunyan also said tremblingly, "But this matter was His Highness arranged by Your Highness and Mr. Naohori. Mr. Naohori personally told me about it!"

"Huh? That bastard Naohori looks just like that old scoundrel. Would I really let that disgusting grandson of his defile my precious daughter?"

"And I know that just a few days ago, that old scoundrel Naohori tried to rebel and was executed on the spot."

Upon hearing these words, the old maid Kikunyan, also knelt down on the ground with a look of despair, staring at the young girl.

"..."

A deathly silence filled the entire waiting room.

"No! No! No! I won't accept it!" The frivolous young man cried out frantically, his face contorted with resentment. "This isn't real! This isn't real!"

"My grandfather promised me that I would become the master of this country someday! I cannot accept this!"

Then he pounced on the girl like a madman, his eyes filled with lust as he looked at her beautiful face and figure.

"Haa."

Seeing this, Luo Mio sighed helplessly, then walked to the girl's side and shielded her behind her.

Upon seeing Luo Mio's appearance, the frivolous young man roared, "Get out of my way!"

"Why are all those old bastards the same?"

After Luo Mio finished speaking, she raised her hand, her azure eyes coldly looking at the frivolous young man.

"—!"

Luo Mio touched the young man's forehead with her index finger.

The frivolous young man suddenly turned blank, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing the young man lying on the ground, the old maid quickly crawled over to him.

"Young Master! Young Master!"

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Luo Mio's mother exclaimed with delight upon hearing Luo Mio's voice.

"My darling daughter, is your brother with you?"

"Um."

Upon hearing the girl's answer, Luo Mio's mother quickly said, "Quick, quick, give the phone to your brother."

Then the girl handed the phone to Luo Mio.

"..."

Luo Mio stared at the phone in front of her, fell silent, then scratched her head with a helpless expression and took the phone.

He said helplessly into the phone, "Mom..."

"Oh my! My beautiful baby son!"

"..." Luo Mio was speechless for a moment.
