The biggest reason True Kiana wanted to leave was that Bishop Otto occasionally did strange things to her.
Oh, this was because True Kiana had not expressed herself clearly.
She was only eight years old, so it was understandable that her verbal skills were poor.
It had taken her quite some effort to realize that the strange things True Kiana mentioned were blood draws and examinations.
Ever since Bishop Otto had taken True Kiana away, he had constantly used her for experiments.
Six years of experiments and confinement had made True Kiana extremely withdrawn, even causing her to think that her father no longer wanted her.
Even if she wanted to help True Kiana, she was powerless right now.
After all, she was only eight years old herself.
No... from the perspective of a clone, she might have been created only recently.
In fact, the little girl designated K423 only knew how to cry. Even now, she reacted like an infant, at most crying out "mom" once or twice while wailing.
Normally, she should have reacted the same way as K423.
But her situation was rather special.
Although she had the appearance of an eight-year-old, she and K423 were actually newborn infants.
She shrugged inwardly.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
In this situation, she truly had the will but lacked the strength.
Could she refuse Bishop Otto's arrangements?
That man looked exactly like the final boss in a game. He would never reveal his health bar until the very end, making countless players gnash their teeth.
Mm, for now, she would pretend to comply...
Having made up her mind, she looked around the room but did not find the white-haired woman.
It would have been one thing if the person assigned to sleep beside her had not gotten into bed, but she had actually vanished halfway through keeping her company.
She crossed her arms over her chest and let out a soft sigh.
How corrupt the world had become, how cold human hearts were.
People these days had no integrity at all, and they had even forgotten the virtue of caring for children.
Since she was not sure whether there were cameras in the room, she did not act rashly.
She waited on the bed for more than ten minutes before Amber returned to the room, followed by several Little Maids.
Clearly, she had gone to carry out Bishop Otto's orders.
She had not expected Bishop Otto to truly mean it when he told Amber to find maids for her.
Moreover, these Little Maids were all very cute, around twelve to sixteen years old. The moment they saw her, they excitedly cried out.
Although she knew she was a fake, Bishop Otto clearly regarded her as genuine.
Her current identity had been personally confirmed by Bishop Otto.
As the daughter of Cecilia Schariac, Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie, her status was naturally incomparably noble.
The Little Maids had never expected to be given the opportunity to care for her.
Their chatter was full of admiration for Cecilia Schariac, as well as respect for her, a little girl determined to become the strongest Valkyrie like her mother.
It sounded rather nice.
Praise me, keep praising me! Don't stop!!
Every time... a living life would fade away (Revised)
The maids Amber found came from Schicksal's affiliated institutions.
Naturally, they had also received Schicksal's education and greatly admired Valkyries who fought against Honkai.
They especially worshipped Cecilia Schariac and her Snow Wolf Squad.
Being praised by several sweet-looking, adorable Little Maids made even her feel light-headed.
Cecilia Schariac, who had saved the people of Siberia during the Second Eruption, had been shaped by Schicksal's propaganda into an image of gentleness, bravery, compassion, and holiness.
She was also idolized by countless young and adorable girls.
Thus, when these Little Maids thought of being able to serve her daughter, they could not help drooling.
So, hearing them praise her and praise her mother Cecilia naturally put her in a good mood.
But what followed was far from pleasant.
"Wait, what are you doing? Why are you taking off my clothes?!"
"Of course we're changing Kiana's clothes."
"Exactly, Kiana, what you're wearing isn't pajamas."
"Kiana's clothes are already prepared. Please let us help you!"
"Yameluo!!"
Wow, Kiana's skin is so smooth!
Kiana's cheeks are so soft and bouncy!
Idiot, Kiana's butt is the best part. It's super soft!
Yeah, Lia, I touched it too. Kiana's butt is really soft!
No, Kiana's skin is amazing. She even smells milky, just like a baby!
Where's the milky smell? But Kiana looks so cute when she's embarrassed!
Surrounded by several Little Maids, she was stripped bare in no time.
They then dressed her in a pretty white dress and braided her white hair.
Once the Little Maids had finished changing her clothes, she felt as though she had lost something important in that brief moment.
There was only zero or countless times when it came to cross-dressing...
Damn it, she had never expected to become a cross-dressing master one day.
And during the changing process, there had been no shortage of wandering hands groping her body.
She was only an eight-year-old child!
Pah, these drooling, perverted female hooligans!
Kiana Kaslana was not finished with them!
Though she was humiliated and furious inside, she still chose to endure.
Whether it was for True Kiana's sake or for her own future, she could only bide her time for now.
"...Kiana, please follow me to the dining hall," Amber said.
"The dining hall?"
"Of course. After the experiment, Kiana rested for a day. An IV drip alone is not enough; you should also consume plenty of nutrition." She nodded lightly.
"..."
The moment Amber finished speaking, images of Peking roast duck, mapo tofu, zhajiang noodles, braised pork trotters, candied sweet potatoes, siu mai, sticky rice chicken, beef tendon meatballs, braised ribs, Yangzhou fried rice, sweet-and-sour pork, donkey rolls, stinky tofu, and Four Joy meatballs immediately flashed through her mind...
She was practically drooling.
Though they were foods she had no memory of, they kept surfacing in her mind at this moment.
Her stomach also started growling.
"It seems Kiana can hardly wait. Please follow me."
Smiling, Amber took the lead out of the room.
After she followed Amber out, the Little Maids obediently trailed behind.
They even dueled over who would wash her clothes. In the end, a little maid named Lia won with scissors, happily snatched up the "patient's gown" she had just taken off, and ran away.
"..."
She did not know whether she would ever get that outfit back.
Pah, they were all female hooligans!
Led by Amber, their group soon arrived at the dining hall.
The Valkyrie trainees and related personnel they encountered along the way all saluted Amber and her.
This further highlighted Cecilia's greatness and the heavy burden she was about to bear.
When everyone in Schicksal regarded her as the real Kiana, she would become the real Kiana, while the true Kiana might lose everything and could even be hidden away by Bishop Otto.
Although she had only met that man twice.
Ever since their first meeting, however, she had felt that he would do such a thing.
She could do nothing about Bishop Otto's plans.
In truth, she was far too weak at present.
Simply walking from the lounge to the dining hall had made her breathing much heavier.
Even sitting down in a chair required Amber's assistance.
Amber chose a seat in the center of the dining hall, and countless gazes fell upon her from all around.
She glanced around and found that the gazes sent her way by the girls in their teens were incredibly fervent.
It was as though they could say something like, "mom loves you," at any moment.
She had not expected to successfully gain fans and capture the hearts of these girls.
But when she thought about how similar their fervent gazes were to those the Little Maids had shown earlier, she could not help shivering, afraid that these girls would turn into female hooligans as well.
Seeing her suddenly become so reserved, Amber smiled faintly and began introducing the dining hall to her.
But what Amber described was far too profound for someone like her, who had not officially come into contact with Schicksal.
Whether it was Schicksal itself or the Valkyrie system, she could understand many of the words individually, but once they were put together, they became incomprehensible.
After listening for a long time, she finally gave up thinking.
Or rather, she stopped thinking once again.
"..."
Amber looked helpless.
If she had not been certain that K422 was not the real Kiana, she might even have thought that K422's occasional dazed expression was an act of playing dumb or pretending to have amnesia.
Amber was also completely out of ideas when it came to her at this moment.
How could Amber know that she genuinely could not understand Valkyrie ABCD...
Wait, did this ABCD refer to cup sizes?
As Valkyrie ranks rose, their bust sizes rapidly shrank until they were eventually worn down into a flat plane.
All right, she was just making nonsense up.
But it was also because she greatly resisted the "dishes" on the table.
Before arriving at the dining hall, she had looked forward to it for a long time.
Yet after arriving, she felt somewhat relieved. Clearly, this place was not so poor that they could not even put food on the table.
But she discovered that she might have exposed herself, so she wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Although she had different reasons, she truly wanted to leave as soon as possible, because the Nutrition Package A laid before her looked extremely unnutritious.
Oh, mainly because it was enough to make anyone lose their appetite.
