Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Chapter 97 Are You Underestimating Me Too Much? (4.5k)

Lynn clutched his somewhat groggy brain, squinting his eyes against the sunlight piercing in through the train window.

Feeling the faint bumps from the seat beneath him, he seemed to realize something.

Lifting his head, he looked around and discovered that he was in a luxurious compartment of a train.

At this moment, there was no one else in the compartment.

Lynn was stunned for a few seconds before he tried to take a deep breath and stood up from his seat, staggering slightly as he walked toward the door.

The moment he opened the door, it seemed that someone from the next car had noticed him and quickly walked toward him.

"Master Lynn, have you awakened?"

The voice of the housekeeper, Kasha, came over.

"Is this... on the train returning to the Imperial Capital?"

Lynn pinched the bridge of his nose, looking puzzledly at her.

With Kasha's support, he walked with her into the second compartment.

Then he saw that the seats of this compartment were currently occupied by many familiar faces.

Some were servants who had worked at Augusta Manor before, while others were subordinates of Ivyst he had seen during meals.

He didn't have much interaction with these people usually, so after a brief exchange of glances now, he only read a degree of respect and seriousness in their eyes.

"Master Lynn, we will rely greatly on you for the affairs of His Highness afterwards."

Suddenly someone raised their voice in the crowd.

At the same time, the eyes of everyone, filled with various thoughts, focused on him, some in agreement, others confused and questioning.

Rely on me?

Lynn still hadn't figured out the situation.

But at this moment, countless fragmented memories surged in his mind, making him suddenly remember everything that had happened the previous night.

What is she thinking, this woman?

Looking at this train that led to freedom, Lynn felt an absence of the excitement he had imagined.

Looking at the housekeeper Kasha beside him, he furrowed his brow and said, "Miss Kasha, what is the situation now?"

Upon hearing this, the elderly housekeeper closed her eyes and then gestured for him to take a seat next to her.

After the two were seated, Lynn did not receive an explanation from Kasha.

Instead, he saw her suddenly hand over a thick stack of papers.

"These are the deposit statements from Glostine Central Bank, the private savings His Highness accumulated over the years, left for your use in the Imperial Capital."

Saying this, Kasha handed over a thin booklet.

On it was that woman's flamboyant and flamboyant signature: Ivyst Laurent Alexini.

Lynn subconsciously took the booklet.

But for some reason, his mind suddenly recalled her desolate yet tender appearance under the moonlight the previous night.

"This..."

Lynn was about to ask something but was preemptively interrupted by Kasha.

"These here are the property contracts of His Highness in the Imperial Capital; if you find yourself without a place to live due to the influence of the Mosgla family upon your return to the Imperial Capital, you can temporarily reside in His Highness's mansions. This way, they won't openly make things difficult for you."

"This one lists the connections that may be necessary to use. Although there aren't many, they are the fruits of His Highness's efforts over the years..."

"And these items are..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Lynn could no longer hold back and interrupted her.

He looked at the documents in his hands and felt filled with absurd emotions.

"What do all these mean?" Lynn frowned deeply, "Why does it seem like she is entrusting her last wishes to me?"

"And besides, with so many subordinates, why would she entrust such things to me?"

At this moment, he only felt a sense of confusion.

The sudden heavy responsibility pressed down on him, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper Kasha glanced at him and then said expressionlessly, "Regarding the specific content of His Highness's temporary mission, Master Lynn, you should already understand, right?"

"Yes."

He nodded.

Last night, Ivyst had explained to him that it was to fulfill a temporary mission set by Saint Laurent VI, dealing with an unknown Sealed Object.

However, at that time she had not told him the specific information about that Sealed Object.

Then Kasha suddenly handed over a piece of paper, "This is the detailed information about the Sealed Object that His Highness needs to handle this time."

Lynn took the paper and glanced over it closely.

But upon seeing the name of the Sealed Object, his face suddenly turned very pale as if he thought of something.

[Item Name: Wish Jar]

[Project Number: Not yet contained]

[Sequence Level: Unknown]

[Origin Details: A mysterious sealing object, passed down from generation to generation by the Creation Sect, unknown to the outside world.]

[Effect Description: Can fulfill any three wishes of the wisher, but will do so in the worst possible way.]

[Containment Instructions: Recommended that those containing it understand its characteristics before taking action.]

Was this the ultimate objective of that woman's mission?

For some reason, Lynn's hand trembled slightly.

However, Kasha seemed not to notice his unease and just continued, "As you can see, although the sequence level is unknown, the intelligence provided by the monarch is estimated to be between level 2 and level 1, not exceeding level 1 at the highest."

"Based on this, His Highness has estimated her sleeping period to be around four months to half a year."

"Now is a critical juncture for the King's election, and it is even close to the autumn hunting season in the Imperial Capital. She does not wish to waste the opportunity."

"Therefore, His Highness has decided to send some of her subordinates who are not adept at combat to the Imperial Capital in advance to lay the groundwork."
