Xia Lin was captured, caught by a lord. In fact, it wasn't long before he learned that Violet Orchid Planet was a planet located on the frontier of the empire. It had a good economy, but it was a small and obscure planet with a relatively small population. The highest - ranking noble there was a baron (the lowest - ranking noble was a lord).
According to Xia Lin's original assumption, once this lord knew his identity, for the sake of his own status, he would send Xia Lin back. However, this lord was mentally unstable. Usually, it wasn't obvious, but when he encountered something he liked, he would become extremely obsessive. Coincidentally, this lord was a fanatical fan of Xia Lin.
Xia Lin was quite helpless. He didn't think he was outstanding at all. The only thing prominent about him was his noble status, which was bestowed upon him by Caron and the royal family. So why did such an ordinary him have such an obsessive fan?
Xia Lin was now locked up by this lord. The lord intended to conceal Xia Lin's identity and claim publicly that Xia Lin just looked like the current queen and had had plastic surgery.
"Let me out. The royal family can grant you the title of baron or even the higher - ranking viscount," Xia Lin said. In the empire, it was extremely difficult for nobles to be promoted. Without outstanding contributions and the right opportunities, many nobles would never be promoted in their lifetimes!
However, this lord would rather give up the chance of a title promotion than let Xia Lin go. One day, the lord stood beside the bed, staring at Xia Lin with a sickly blush on his face.
To be honest, the lord was quite handsome, but the obsessive look on his face ruined his good looks and only made Xia Lin feel scared and annoyed.
"I don't like you! It's useless to lock me up! All you'll get is my hatred!" Xia Lin glared at the lord angrily.
The lord giggled and still stared at Xia Lin. "It doesn't matter. Feelings can be cultivated. In a few years, decades, or even centuries, you'll surely rely on me and like me!" As if envisioning such a wonderful future, the lord let out a crazy laugh, and his expression became even more sickly.
Damn it. What should he do when he met a psycho? But don't be afraid. Calm down, Xia Lin. Caron will surely come to rescue you. Before Caron came, it was better not to continue to offend this lord.
So Xia Lin turned over and buried his head in the pillow. His voice was muffled as he said, "Get out. I'm going to sleep."
The man giggled twice more but finally left. After he left, Xia Lin let out a sigh of relief. He got up from the bed, drank some water, and then carefully observed the room.
A few hours ago, Caron's optical brain suddenly went black. Caron's expression tightened. Before he could do anything about it, the optical brain lit up again. An unusual line of words appeared on the most ordinary page: Xia Lin is in the lord's mansion on Violet Orchid Planet.
Caron stood up and immediately walked out of his office. Regardless of how this message appeared on his optical brain, Caron had to take a gamble!
Xia Lin had been in the lord's mansion for five days, but Caron still hadn't come to rescue him. Although he was anxious, Xia Lin didn't blame Caron at all because Violet Orchid Planet was on the empire's border. Even if one took the royal family's special starship, it would take seven to eight days to get there.
However, the system said it had hacked into Caron's optical brain to send the message. Would Caron think it was a hacker and thus believe the message about Xia Lin being on Violet Orchid Planet was false?
