Chapter 1091: 17.18 Fourth Violet Star - Only One Returned Alive.

The Sentient beings inside the Greenhouse had a conversation after the intruder left. Old Pine can be considered the leader among them because he is one of the most intelligent trees in this area. This Greenhouse is home to at least three S-ranked mutated beings. The first is an Old Pine, the second is a sleeping Old Oak Tree, and the last is an Ice lotus flower in the greenhouse's deepest underground area.

Old Pine Tree had become the voice of the S-ranked beings in the Greenhouse because he had rooted near the entrance. The other two were mostly asleep, but in terms of strength, the Ice Lotus, who can transform into his human form, was the strongest of the three leaders. Despite the fact that Oak Tree and Pine Tree are S-ranked Mutated beings, they are unable to leave the Greenhouse because their roots are deeply rooted in this area.

They can transform into humans but cannot leave the Greenhouses, except for the Ice Lotus Blossom. It can live for as long as there is water and move wherever it wants. As a result, it can move to a location with more world qi to feed its growth, and evolving into SS-ranked and above would be no problem as long as there is time.

After all of the king's rules were absolute, no one could stop the humans who had intruded on their habitat from fleeing. They can kill all humans and turn them into fertilizer as long as they don't follow the Greenhouse rules. The Greenhouse's rules are straightforward.

1. Littering is not permitted.

(If you do, you will be kicked out after being fed by your trash.)

2. Inside the greenhouse, no one is permitted to cut or destroy any plants, flowers, or trees.

(Intentional actions will result in consequences, while accidental actions will result in punishments based on the severity of the actions.)

3. n.o.body is permitted to steal a plant.

(An unavoidable consequence will be imposed.)

All of the punishments listed above may result in death. You have been forewarned.

The previous two humans had broken rules two and three. As a result, one was eaten alive by the Venus Flytrap, and the other was killed and turned into fertilizer by the Old Pine Trees. The Dean of the First Military Imperial School had also approved these rules, and all of the teachers had agreed to them. Because they were aware of the presence of Sentient Plants and Trees in the greenhouse.

They mostly agreed because they weren't forbidden from testing these plants. They are free to experiment as long as they follow the greenhouse's rules. Furthermore, there is an exception to these rules. The Mutated beings in the Greenhouse would approve of you as long as Yara von Chrysalis is willing to give you a plant. After all, the relations.h.i.+p between a human and a Sentient being is a.n.a.logous to that of a warrior and his quantum beast. They are linked by the soul and cannot harm each other.

The Venus Flytrap spoke, {Grandpa Pine Tree, can Venus use these corpses as fertilizers?}

{Shareth with ev'ryone.}

Translation: [Share with everyone.]

The Old Pine Tree retracted his extended branch and returned to its dormant state after saying these words. Meanwhile, all of the plants and trees in the area shared the blood and corpses in the greenhouse. Awakened humans are the greatest fertilizers derived from them. However, some mutated beasts can also aid in their growth. They only required the nutrients and energy that those corpses could provide. As a result, becoming fertilizer also means becoming food for them.

It took only a few minutes for the two corpses to be buried in the soul, and blood was sucked, mixing with the soil and its nutrients. All traces of the body were melted down to pure energy, which was used to boost the strength of the mutated ones in the greenhouse.

At the Second Prince's Palace...

Christopher Klein von Imperlian dispatched three men to investigate the Greenhouse Garden, which is home to Yara von Chrysalis. Despite having heard the rumors about that location, he had never visited it. But he knew that place was strictly restricted by rules, and even the school warned students to strictly follow the rules of that garden.

There is no need for them to enter if they are unsure about following the rule by heart. After all, the penalty or consequence in that location is death. They'd be warned several times before being allowed in. As a result, most students would avoid going there. That's why he was surprised to learn that his younger brother and his group chose such a dangerous location as a training ground. He looked into it and discovered that they went there for training because Yara von Chrysalis was not willing to stay in the training field and do nothing.

On the first day of training, Jace Green von Imperlian and this group, like the other students, train on the school field. Yara von Chrysalis, whose life is inextricably linked to plants and trees, brought a few potted plants with him to the training. Because of his nonchalance and laziness in the eyes of others, the students began bullying him, which sparked Jace Green von Imperlian's rage, resulting in numerous visits from the parents of the students Jace Green had beaten up.

Parents would drag students who had been beaten black and blue to apologize to Jace Green. Whatever the reason for the conflict, enraged royalty is extremely dangerous for those beneath the royal family's power. After being visited by numerous n.o.ble families, Jace Green lost it, and Yara von Chrysalis invited them to train with him in the Greenhouse Garden.

The youngest prince, who was aware of Yara's ability to bring plants to life, agreed immediately. He knew that as long as Yara was with them, the monstrous plants and trees in the Forbidden Greenhouse would not dare to harm them, resulting in the current situation.

Only one of his three subordinates who had gone to investigate the Greenhouse had returned. This man's face was even white from fear, and his fear can be seen on his face alone. Christopher Klein von Imperlian frowned as he wondered what this person had witnessed to return to such a state. Furthermore, there is a scent of blood lingering on him despite the fact that he has no blood on his clothes.

"M-M-Master...I..."

"Speak! Tell me everything you have seen!" The Second Prince said.

The man described everything he had seen inside the Greenhouse. He was trembling in terror as he tried to recall everything that happened when they entered the greenhouse and broke the rules that could have saved their lives.

"Your Highness! Inside that Greenhouse are countless Mutated plants, flowers, and trees. This subordinate doesn't know how many exactly, maybe everything inside that place is all sentient beings. What's worse is that... There's an S-ranked mutated tree in that Greenhouse and it was capable of human speech! Master!!! That place is evil, I couldn't understand why they let such a dangerous place continue to exist. We should report it to His Majesty and get that place destroyed!"

"That is such a tall order. Do you not know who the owner of that Greenhouse and to whom it was given? That place was bought by my Imperial Uncle, the Grand Duke and Grand Marshal. Moreover, he bought that for his beloved and fated pair. All of the things inside that Greenhouse have an owner." The Second Prince, Christopher Klein von Imperlian said.

The surviving man murmured dazed and nervous, "Owner. O-Owner?" He then recalled the name which was posted under the Rules of the Greenhouse. The rules he had just read were written by that person. This crazy man mumbles, "Yara von Chrysalis. The owner of those insane sentient beings in that greenhouse is Yara von Chrysalis!! Ha-haha~, how is that... possible? That child is just... Is he not an ordinary person after all? Or else how could that madman fall for him!"

This person began talking to himself before laughing for a brief moment. It's not that his willpower was weak, but the experience he had inside that Greenhouse had scared the s.h.i.+t out of him enough to convince him that he is nothing more than an ant in the face of such a powerful mutated being. After all, he had been looking into that Old Pine Tree prior to the murder. That is a Sentient Old Pine Tree of the S-rank. An existence capable of crus.h.i.+ng him, an A-Rank Adjudicator, with just one branch

"Butler, send him to a hospital or something."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The second prince motioned to Butler to remove the lunatic from his office. He made certain that he paid this man, sent him to a psychiatrist, and had him treated for his mental illness. What kind of scene had he witnessed and experienced that caused him to temporarily lose his mind?

"It's truly hard to meet him. Sigh~ If it's like this, then there is only one way."

Christopher Klein von Imperlian had given up on meeting Yara von Chrysalis without permission. He really needs to see this student this time to know what kind of man he is. He can only ask permission from the person protecting him because he can sneak in order to meet the person. He can only contact his future Imperial Aunt's Imperial Uncle and request permission to meet her.

As expected, convincing his Imperial Uncle to let him meet Yara von Chrysalis was difficult. After all, even the current Emperor is unable to approach this individual. Only his younger brother, a friend of his, can meet Yara von Chrysalis without being hindered by his uncle. His Imperial Uncle agrees to meet him only after promising to give away a star with fertile land to his future aunt. Of course, this isn't a meeting because he needs the Dean to keep an eye on him while he works.

Christopher Klein von Imperlian felt more tired than usual after the call with his Imperial Uncle ended. It was difficult to persuade his Imperial Uncle to meet with him. But he really needed to meet this future Aunt of his because he had a feeling Silvan von Rosegard would try to touch him just so he could meet his Imperial Uncle, who now only needed his pair healed.

The Second Prince sees how much his Imperial Uncle protects Yara von Chrysalis and realizes that this type of protection is similar to what he is doing for Silvan but in a more extreme form. After all, his Imperial Uncle manages Yara's life and even lives with him. Except for school, he refuses to let him leave his side without permission.

Normally, such actions would be suffocating for another person, but Yara accepts everything without hesitation, as if his Imperial Uncle is the only person in the world who exists in his mind. Isn't it strange that they only met once, at the Royal Banquet for the youngest prince?

How can his Imperial Uncle be so fixated on this person?

The Second Prince mumbled, "Is it because they are a fated pair?"

On the other hand, at the Grand Duke's Palace...

The second prince's phone call ended just a few seconds ago. Only the old butler is waiting for orders beside his lord, who appears to have overheard their conversation. Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian can't ignore the old man's squirming with an uneasy expression on his face.

The Grand Marshal asked, "Talk. What is it, Butler?"

"My Lord, is it alright to let the Second Prince meet the Young Lord? Even though the dean would be present, isn't that dangerous?" The Old Butler asked. He was truly worried about the safety of his young lord. After all, this is the only person the Grand Marshal had treated as family and his fated pair.

The Grand Marshal responded, "I will send Adjutant Kir if you are worried, or is it that you want to be there yourself?"

"C-Can this old servant go, My Lord?" The Old Butler said.

Sighed.

The Grand Marshal gave up thinking of wanting to stop the old butler and said, "Prepare Lunch Boxes. I will eat there with Yara for the afternoon meal."

"Yes, My lord!"

On his wrinkled face, the old butler smiled. He no longer needs to be concerned about the Young Lord's safety because the Lord is coming over himself. Since the Grand Marshal would never allow his pair to be harmed by others. He seemed especially pleased as he walked out the door to direct the chefs in the kitchen to prepare lunch boxes.
