Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 406 - 407: Kalina’s Grand Plan [3/8]

As the convoy halted, an elder gentleman wearing a monocle, dressed in a black suit, and leaning on a gentlemanly cane, gracefully leaped down from a carriage. He respectfully approached the mansion’s entrance and elegantly bowed to the black-haired girl on the stairs:

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Lady Yumo."

At this moment,

A bewitchingly beautiful black-haired girl stood with her hands before her, holding a black handbag. Miss Yumo was no longer dressed in her usual thin black gauze dress but wore an elegant and splendid black winter coat, adorned with an expensive white fur coat.

Her once bare feet were now protected by long boots.

Miss Yumo’s attire now matched the surrounding environment.

For Yumo,

Heat and cold held no meaning. Her unusual choice of winter clothing was mainly to blend seamlessly into human society. After all, she was about to embark on a journey to the Red Leaf Empire.

Facing the courteous Sebastian, Yumo gave a slight smile and waved her hand, signaling him to rise:

"It’s fine, Sebastian, no need to apologize. Rather, I must thank you for your efforts in leading the team here."

"It is our duty, Milady"

"By the way, are you coming with us to the academy later?"

"Yes, the Duke believes I’m the most suitable choice."

Speaking, Sebastian slightly frowned, "About that, Lady Yumo, you said ’we’? Who else will be coming with us?"

"Ah, the little one. She will be joining us."

Yumo confirmed and looked behind her with mixed emotions.

Thinking of her naive daughters who constantly worried about her, Yumo felt warmth, yet also as though her thoughts were trampled by countless chaotic feelings...

Those children,

Were they really that anxious?

--

Meanwhile,

On the mansion’s second floor,

All of Yumo’s daughters, except for the eldest sister and brother, had gathered outside the dressing room. Amid the excited gazes of Kalina, Limo, Liyu, and Shuoyue, a small girl dressed in a cotton jacket, with twin ponytails, so endearing that it could take one’s breath away, slowly stepped forward, surrounded by several Black Rose maidservants.

"Wow~"

Upon seeing this adorable and exquisitely crafted little girl, the hearts of the older sisters seemed to have a melting feeling.

Limo, the silly wolf who has always followed her instincts, didn’t hesitate and pounced, directly embracing Yuan’er, affectionately rubbing her face against the other’s cheek.

"Hee hee~ Yuan’er is so cute, let big sister rub a little~

Rubbing the little face obviously couldn’t satisfy Limo

The wolf girl even planned to follow her instinct and lick the cute little sister in front of her.

Fortunately, Liyu, who always understands her silly older sister, timely saw Limo’s intention and decisively grabbed her sister’s fluffy big tail, pulling her back:

"Sister, don’t mess around! Yuan’er has finally put together her makeup, and you want to mess it up? If you really want to lick her, you could do it slowly when she was bathing. Don’t mess around now! Otherwise, Mother will be angry."

Liyu sternly warned,

At this, Limo pursed her lips and obediently nodded, suppressing her inner nature as a ’silly and playful person;

"Oh, I understand now..."

Seeing the interaction between Limo and Liyu come to an end, Kalina, as the eldest sister present, came to Yuan’er’s side with a sincere smile and kindly squatted in front of her.

"Little Yuan’er, are you ready to set off?"

"Mmm mmm mmm! I’m ready, Big Sis!"

Thinking about going to Red Leaf Empire with her mother, an indescribable joy surged within the little one, making her face overflow with a radiant smile. The young girl immediately waved her arms, looking excitedly at Kalina:

"Ready to go at any time!"

"Mmm."

Kalina smiled faintly. This smile, while filled with affection, also carried another meaning:

"Yuan’er, you’re going out with Mom; you know what your task is this time, right?"

"Mmm! Yes,I know!"

...

--

Yesterday, not feeling at ease about letting her Mother go to Luminous Academy alone, Kalina all the time believed that someone among them must accompany her!

But,

’Who should accompany Mom?’

This became a question that greatly puzzled Kalina.

As she herself and her mother had said before, there are too many experts near Luminous Royal Academy, which is also the capital of the Red Leaf Empire and the seat of Asumos Church. Even she, who had been mingling in the human world for a long time, found it hard to hide her identity. Naturally, it was even more impossible to infiltrate the academy with her mother.

Under these circumstances, Kalina could only rely on her younger sisters.

The amount of Shadow power within her was too massive to completely hide. But her younger sisters could, as long as she helped suppress it, it would be possible to hide the identity of Abyssal Demon. Therefore, Kalina began to ponder which sister would be most suitable to go.

Limo had to go with Xiao for training, so she was ruled out directly. (Even if the wolf cub could go, considering Limo’s naive and silly nature, Kalina would not let her go.)

Liyu’s little buttocks were swelling quite severely, and she wouldn’t be able to move around for a short while, so she too had to be ruled out.

’As for Shuoyue’

Thinking about that girl’s cunning and bold personality, Kalina always felt that if she let that mischievous girl be alone with her Mother, something might go wrong.

To prevent Shuoyue, the naughty girl, from causing trouble, Kalina decided to continue letting her watch the house. Although Shuoyue protested with both hands and feet, she still chose to submit under Kalina’s authority. After all, each of the little ones at home had been educated by Kalina without exception...

Shuoyue, who was psychologically traumatized, dared not resist and could only grumble a few complaints angrily.

’With this, the only remaining choice is our dear little Yuan’er’

Looking at the cute and bewildered pink-haired girl, Kalina pondered for a moment before decisively snapping her fingers, revealing a satisfied expression.

"Yes! This girl will do! She can go with Mom!"

Yuan’er is a newly born Demon King being, and the amount of Shadow Power within her is not as much as her older brother and sisters. Moreover, since she was just transformed from a human into a demon, she still retains a large amount of human essence. As long as Kalina helps suppress most of her power, and with the aid of a scent-concealing potion prepared by Black Rose family, it wouldn’t be difficult for Yuan’er to pose as an ordinary child!

As long as she doesn’t come into direct contact with powerful individuals at the level of the Pope, it’s unlikely she will be exposed. Ordinary Level 8 Cultivators, even if they sense something, would probably not be able to discern Yuan’er’s identity.

Furthermore,

Yuan’er is so naive, she wouldn’t act like that naughty girl Shuoyue, trying to plot anything cunning. She would simply nestle beside Mom, seeking Mom’s embrace~

And so,

That would be enough.

The reason Kalina wants one of the younger sisters to go with Yumo is to ensure that the child stays close to her side often, making it difficult for the accursed Girl of Destiny to make her move!

Now, according to the information from Liyu, it seems that the Girl of Destiny has guessed Mom’s identity and even harbors some impure thoughts about her… Although Kalina was quite confused, wondering why the Girl of Destiny, a human, would have such thoughts about her Mom, she can’t help but think:’ Is she out of her mind?!’

’What on earth does she want to do?!’

But no matter what, Kalina does not believe that the Chosen One, who has always loathed demons, would have any interest in her Mother, the leader of the demons.

"That woman must be using Mom, planning to deceive Mother’s feelings! After she gets what she wants, she will surely abandon Mom!"

This is how Kalina judges the situation in her heart.

She didn’t want her Mother to come into contact with the Girl of Destiny. But considering that her own mother probably had some private agreement with that damned girl and certainly wouldn’t listen to her words, Kalina could only disrupt the Girl of Destiny’s actions through other means...

That is, by intervening through others!

Sebastian was one of them, and another suitable candidate was her adorable new little sister~

--

Time returns to the present,

Staring at the eager little one in front of her, fully dressed and ready to go, Kalina spoke again with a reminder:

"Little Yuan’er, do you remember what Big Sister told you earlier?"

"Mm-hmm! I remember!"

Yuan’er nodded repeatedly:

"I know! I will obediently snuggle by Mommy’s side!"

"Good girl, that’s right."

Kalina gradually revealed a smile of a successful plan.

’Yes, that’s the way!’

As long as little Yuan’er stays by Mother’s side, that will be enough. Mother has always cared about her children’s education. As long as Yuan’er is with her, Mother will surely be constantly thinking about Yuan’er’s healthy growth, and won’t have any inappropriate contact with the Girl of Destiny.

Additionally, since Yuan’er is a newborn demon, Mom, to prevent Yuan’er from losing control after contact with the Girl of Destiny, will surely reduce contact with her!

Furthermore,

With the assistance of Sebastian

There will be no problems!

Kalina smiled and nodded, holding Yuan’er’s little hand, confidently heading in the direction where her mother, was. However, since Kalina’s thoughts were completely focused on how to disrupt the contact between Her Mom and the Girl of Destiny, she overlooked the little expression on Yuan’er’s face.

At this moment,

Yuan’er, who had been obedient and well-behaved up until now, slowly let a smile spread across her little face. It was a smile that seemed to suggest that everything was going according to plan, much like the expression her sister had shown earlier.
