Chapter 992:
The inability to track down Kaelyn’s history suggested that those behind her had enough influence to
manufacture a false identity. Theo resolved to seek out Elyse after his meeting to discuss the link between
Kaelyn and Mabel.
Meanwhile, Elyse, having finished her coffee, felt increasingly weary. She massaged her temples and remarked,
“I just want to lie down. I'm utterly drained.” Noticing Elyse’s dispirited demeanor, Louise inquired, “What did
you and Theo discuss? You look quite disturbed.”

Elyse replied, “I've been targeted with a bounty.” Louise paused, then asked, “Did he just inform you of this?”

Elyse nodded and released a heavy sigh. “Who could possibly be so idle as to place a bounty on me?” Louise felt
somewhat disheartened. She had been trying to protect Elyse from this knowledge, but now the secret was out.
After purchasing a suitable dress at a high-end store, Elyse and Louise made their way back to Moon Palace.
Elyse, anxious to see Edward, immediately inquired with the butler about his location, only to be told that
Edward would not return until later in the afternoon. A look of disappointment crossed Elyse’s face.
Noticing Elyse’s anxious and fearful state, Louise decided to seek out Chesney. He was at Moon Palace, attending
to his duties. Upon noticing Louise approaching, he arched an eyebrow and questioned, “What brings you here?”
Louise queried, “Chesney, could you help determine who issued the bounty on Elyse?”
Chesney's brow furrowed. “Why are you meddling in her affairs? Shouldn't you be attending your classes?”
Louise sulked. “Can’t you just assistthis once? It’s not a major request. Can’t you even manage this small
favor?”
Amused by her plea, Chesney laughed and responded, “A small favor? Delving into the underworld isn’t
something | can simply interfere with. Even if | wished to, | currently lack the authority to intervene.”

At this, Louise huffed and turned to walk away. “Wait!” Chesney called out, rising to his feet. “How are things
progressing with Edward? I've advised you before to forge a genuine relationship with him, to becan actual
couple. Why is Elyse causing complications?”
Louise, clearly irritated, answered, “You know very well that Edward has feelings for Elyse. What chance do |
stand? He even callschildish. He’s not interested in me.”
Chesney scowled. “You aren't trying hard enough. I've told you before that, for the sake of our political influence,
even as a princess, you must make sacrifices.”
