Chapter 990 Overly Cautious Jane


    The kid looked into Jane''s eyes and said, "All of his harem members should know what I am going to say."


    Jane maintained a firm stance and responded, "You can say it to me. If I feel like it''s important, I will let them know."


    But the kid was insistent. "No. I will tell them myself."


    Jane hesitated, then rejected the idea of bringing him to the castle, stating, "There is no way I am taking you to the castle, it''s off-limits for everyone. And nor am I calling them here. If you want to tell them, then tell, otherwise you can leave."


    The kid''s tone shifted to amusement as he remarked, "Are you saying that you don''t want any updates on Rudy? Now that''s unexpected."


    Jane''s re intensified. She stayed silent, refusing to engage with his provocations.


    The kid, however, didn''t let up. "Looks like the Blue Moon Princess is no longer interested in knowing about the Lord. Well, that''s not surprising since they are meant to be nemesis. Now that makes me wonder how many secrets about Rudy are you hiding from his other harem members?"


    "..." This usation seemed to strike a chord with Jane, causing her expression to waver briefly. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Could it be that you never actually truly tried to find Rudy? I wouldn''t be surprised if that''s the case considering how little affection you are showing to someone who resembles Rudy."


    The kid''s usations and taunts seemed to hit close to home. Jane''s frown deepened, and her eyes shed with a mix of anger and distress. She responded firmly, "Why would I show affection to an imposter? Are you out of your mind?"


    But the kid was relentless in defending his ims. "Would you stop calling me an imposter? I am not an imposter. I let Rudy have my body. I gave up on my body so he could live. If anything, he is an imposter."


    Jane''s threat came swift and severe, "Say that again, and I will find you from the corners of the universe and kill you myself."


    The kid, however, seemed unfazed. "Oh, it seems like I touched a nerve, or did I? As the saying goes, the truth is always bitter. Could it be that you don''t want anyone to know anything?"


    His words hung heavily in the air, creating an ufortable tension between the two of them


    Jane''s fists clenched as she struggled to contain her frustration.


    "Jane is not like that," Rias stepped out of the portal, followed by Elena.


    As Rias and Elena appeared, the dynamics shifted. Jane, clearly surprised, greeted them with a look of concern. "Rias, Elena... what are you doing here?" she questioned, the unease in her voice unmistakable.


    "What''s going on here?" Elena chimed in, her curiosity piqued.


    Jane, though hesitant, ryed the situation to herpanions. "It''s nothing important. You two should head back. I will follow you soon after."


    The kid took the opportunity to reveal his intent, exining, "I am here with the news regarding Rudy, but Jane doesn''t want me to tell anyone."


    Elena leaned forward, her curiosity urging her to push further. "What''s the news?"


    However, the kid had his terms, stating, "I will only say it when all of Rudy''s harem members are present."


    The sudden request to be taken to the castle raised rm with Jane. She was determined not to allow it.


    "Let''s take him," Rias confidently asserted.


    Jane, who was clearly opposed to the idea, couldn''t hide her frustration, eximing, "What?!"


    Rias had a different perspective, determined to uncover the truth. "Don''t you want to know about Rudy? I''m sure everyone else does too. We can take him to the castle. It''s okay."


    Jane, however, strongly resisted this idea. "No, it''s not. Rudy would never be okay with that!"


    Rias remained firm in her decision. "But he''s not here. Let''s go."


    The kid, clearly entertained by the unfolding scenario, chimed in with a smile, "Rias has always been the smart one. Let''s go."


    With a snap of his fingers, the world shifted, and Jane, Lu B, Elena, and Rias found themselves in the castle, leaving Jane with a mixture of frustration and worry in her eyes.


    "See? It wasn''t that hard." The kid didn''t seem to be bothered by the tension in the air as he strolled away and found his way to the castle''s balcony. The harem members had gathered there after their dinner.


    Jane, however, was the least pleased about this development. Her face contorted in frustration, and she shot an using re at Rias. "I can''t believe it! No stranger has ever set foot within the castle walls, and yet, this imposter is roaming here!"


    Rias remained calm, responding, "This is the only way for us to know about Rudy. We can''t let this chance slip. And if things go south, you can always protect us."


    Jane muttered in annoyance, "You expect me to clean up your mess, as always."


    Reluctantly, they followed the kid to the balcony. The harem members were taken by surprise upon seeing him, initially thinking that Rudy had returned. They rushed toward the kid, but abruptly stopped, sensing that something was amiss.


    The kid chuckled, acknowledging their caution. "Good call. Although I was going to stop you if any of you had taken a step closer."


    Reba, puzzled by the situation, turned to Elena, asking, "Who is this?"


    "I will exin everything, but I don''t have much time," the kid spoke with a serious tone. "You can ask Jane after I leave. The reason I am here is because I wanted to forward a message from Rudy."


    "...." A heavy silence filled the balcony as the harem members awaited the message from the uninvited guest.


    The harem members exchanged nces, unsure of what to expect. The kid, aware of their doubt, shot a pointed look at Jane. He then dered, "Since there are some individuals here who won''t trust me no matter what I do, I will y my memory of that part. Remember, I am not allowed to show that, so as soon as the footage ends, you will forget about it, but remember the message Rudy sent."


    Without further ado, the kid snapped his fingers, and a luminescent screen appeared before the group. On the screen, they saw the statue of Rudy, his regal figure seated upon the throne in amanding pose, looking dignified and kingly. The statue appeared to be an exact replica of Rudy in all his glory.
