You Are Very Gifted

It was October, the fifth month of her pregnancy. What happened at that time?

Grace stared at Evan Xiao, then suddenly slapped the table. "You were kidnapped!"

During the Empress Dowager's Birthday, envoys from Windspire Kingdom arrived.

They kidnapped Evan Xiao!

"Kidnapped?" Evan Xiao's eyes flickered. "Which direction did they go?"

She wasn't talking about the Divine Dragon, but about Evan Xiao...

Grace felt guilty and unconsciously tapped her finger on the table. "Actually, I—"

"West?" Evan Xiao glanced at her finger.

Grace quickly withdrew her hand. "Actually, I'm not very good at divination. Just now I was—uh."

Evan Xiao kissed her, sealing the rest of her words with his lips.

After the kiss, he grinned and said, "Now I get it. You really are talented! You're the best diviner ever!"

"Huh?" Grace was utterly confused.

"I'll go find him. You head back to the manor first."

"Hey! Wait— that's not—"

But in an instant, he was already several yards away. And the next moment... he was gone.

"Evan Xiao?" Grace ran after him, calling out, but there wasn't even a shadow left.

"How did he run so fast?"

"I wasn't talking about the dragon being kidnapped, I meant you were the one who got taken!"

And the rumors back then said it was because the Windspire Kingdom's princess had her eye on you, wanted to take you back to be her Prince Consort...

Grace muttered a few words and, feeling helpless, headed back to the manor.

How did that dragon just disappear?

Who could its enemy be? Surely not another dragon, right?

Will Evan Xiao be in danger on this trip?

Probably not, since she was just making things up!

Sigh! Next time she gets the chance, she really needs to explain that she can't actually divine anything!

Otherwise, keeping this up might just kill her...

...

She worried about Evan Xiao and sent Tenner out every day to gather news.

But every day, Tenner came back saying Evan Xiao wasn't home.

The truth was, since that day, he hadn't returned at all.

The day her sword was finally forged, Tenner came back and told her the General had returned.

Grace set off at once, rushing straight to the General's Manor.

Did he find that dragon?

Would he be able to join her for the sword forging ceremony?

At the manor gate, she saw two Silver Dragon Stallions lined up side by side.

Louis Lin held one, Steward Qin held the other. Both looked solemn and ready to depart.

Grace jumped off her horse and ran over. "Steward Qin, Louis Lin, are you heading out?"

Louis Lin nodded to her.

"What about the General? Is he here?"

"He'll be out soon," Steward Qin replied.

Just as they were speaking, Evan Xiao walked out.

He was dressed in black battle armor, sword at his side, his whole presence radiating a restrained sharpness and hidden bloodlust.

Seeing him like this, Grace felt a bit scared.

It was rare to see him carrying weapons.

What was he planning to do?

"General," Grace poked her head out and called, "Where are you going?"

Evan Xiao saw her, his gaze softened. "I heard you've been asking about me these past few days?"

Grace nodded.

"Don't worry. It's fine."

"Has it... come back yet?" Grace asked, obviously referring to the Divine Dragon.

Evan Xiao didn't answer; he just said, "I have to go out for something. We'll talk later."

"Oh..." Disappointment was clear in Grace's eyes. "Then go ahead!"

But Evan Xiao caught that hint of disappointment and asked, "Did you come to see me because something's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. Go on!"

"Just tell me. I can see it in your eyes!" Evan Xiao said.
