He Shouldn't Escape 

On Edmond's spaceship, I witnessed how desolate this world was. A glance revealed no mountains, rivers, or lakes. If I were to walk out of this city, I might not survive for more than three days.

Footsteps echoed from above the gangway, stopping right above me. It couldn't be Emery, could it? Talk about being inescapable.

"Bernice." The voice from the gangway surprised me—it was Shajah. After his call, there was a brief silence, followed by Shajah's voice again. "Would you be willing to return to Silvermoon City with me?"

"No." This time, the response was prompt, and I recognized it as Bernice's voice. Then, footsteps resumed, and someone descended the gangway. As they passed by, I caught a glimpse of Bernice's indifferent figure.

So, Shajah was attempting to poach her. This further confirmed Bernice's abilities, indicating she was not just an ordinary individual but someone capable enough to draw the attention of Silvermoon City.

"Don't waste your effort. Bernice won't leave Noah City with her temperament." Out of nowhere, Edmond's cold and indifferent voice rang out. Damn, why him! Subconsciously, I reached for the hood at the back of my head and covered myself.

"But I believe she has unlimited potential," Shajah's voice carried a hint of tenderness.

"Do you like her?"

"No, no, no, Your Highness, you jest," Shajah's tone betrayed a hint of panic. Come on, that's too obvious! Even I can tell, not to mention Edmond with his titanium eyes.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?" Shajah clearly tried to change the subject.

"I'm fed up with what's going on up there, needed a break." Edmond's voice hinted at his annoyance.

"The escape pod thrusters are damaged; he shouldn't have gotten far."

"No one can slip away from Edmond!"

"Thump!" Someone heavily hit the railing of the gangway. "Shajah, you must find Yvette, I want him."

"Hush, Your Highness Edmond is serious. It seems that Yvette is in serious trouble," Shajah's joking words sent shivers down my spine. From Shajah's tone, it seemed like anyone who offended Edmond would be tormented to the point of wishing for death.

"But, Your Highness, we've searched three cities already. Based on geographical locations, Noah City is the most likely place. Where could this Yvette be hiding?"

A deep breath sounded from above. "Inhale... I have a feeling; this city holds a secret."

"Your Highness, every city has its secrets."

"Hmph, yes, for Silvermoon City, they all have secrets.""Noah City doesn't have many people. I've already sent people to search. Our detectors can locate everyone inside buildings. As long as someone intentionally hides, that person must be Yvette. Finding Yvette will lead us to the escape pod." 

Damn... No wonder Instructor Celeste wanted me to stand in front of people. Edmond doesn't know I'm a girl. Even if he looks at me, he won't know I'm Yvette. Fortunately, I didn't hide.

"Your Highness, are you sure Yvette isn't a person with abilities?"

"Hush..." Suddenly, Edmond seemed to signal Shajah not to continue. Someone above began to move their footsteps—one step, another step, descending the gangway. My heart raced, and I turned slightly. Upon hearing footsteps behind me, I became highly nervous.

"A girl?! How long has she been here?!" Shajah exclaimed from behind. Escaping now was clearly not wise. Suddenly, the image of Edmond slashing through the air crossed my mind!

I was originally sitting on the ground, so I casually reached out and drew something on the ground.

"Who are you? Get up quickly!" Shajah sternly shouted behind me, but I continued drawing on the ground, pretending not to hear.

"Shajah, be gentle with the girl." Edmond's slow voice came from behind, but I felt no gentleness in his tone, only a slight laughter with a touch of chill, like a venomous snake slowly lifting its lips and approaching you.

"Your Highness, she seems to be deaf."

"Oh? A deaf girl." I heard someone jump down behind me. Lightly, someone pulled down my hood. I froze for a moment, then immediately used my feminine voice and said, "Don't disturb me! I'm calculating the angle of the sun! Finally found a place with no one, go away!" I pulled my hood back up, covering my hair.

"Heh, Your Highness, this girl has quite a temper. Don't provoke her." Shajah joked.

"Hmph... You know I like provoking people with bad temper." Suddenly, a hand approached from my left side, placing something near my ear!

"Wife! You're here!" Suddenly, Emery jumped down in front of me, looking surprised at what was behind me. Immediately, the hand near my ear slowly withdrew. Emery withdrew his puzzled gaze and ran towards me, pulling me up. "Wife! If you can't hear, don't run around. I won't be able to find you! Wife! Watch my mouth shape!" He held my face through the hood, with an unusually serious expression on his face, and really spoke in slow mouth shapes: "Don't, run, away, there, are, outsiders."I looked at him for a moment, and surprisingly, a hint of admiration for this annoying Emery emerged in my heart. He was quite good at acting. In the current situation, facing an external threat, I naturally cooperated fully. I blinked, "Oh. Is it dangerous?" I added another question, making sure the people behind me heard. I wanted them to know I was a girl!

Emery pursed his lips, nodding with an overly serious expression, "Very, dan-ger-ous."

"Then, let's go home." I quickly followed up on his words.

"That's obedient~~~" Seizing the opportunity, Emery pinched my face through the hood. I glared at him fiercely. He pretended not to see and looked behind me, "Your Highness, what did you just put near my wife's ear? Are you trying to heal her ears?!"

There was suddenly silence behind me. Was it because of Emery's unexpected arrival or the fact that I was deaf?

Emery, on the contrary, became excited, "Great! My wife has been deaf since birth. Our healers couldn't cure her ears. You in Silvermoon City have such advanced technology; you must help cure her ears, or else..." Emery awkwardly scratched his head and laughed, "How will she hear my sweet words?"

Goosebumps spread all over me from head to toe. I was looking directly at his face, not missing a single expression. I felt the goosebumps on my body nearly falling off.

"Alright, next time, I'll bring our healer to take a look at her." Edmond's gentle and friendly voice came from behind.

"Thank you so much!" Emery reached out and seemingly punched Edmond, then he embraced my shoulders, "Wife, let's go. I have something good for you." He pulled me along, and I moved further away from Edmond. However, my strong sixth sense told me that he was still watching me. His vigilance was too strong.

"Emery." Suddenly, Edmond stopped Emery, "Can I take a look at your wife?"

"How can that be?" Emery turned around, raising his chin proudly, "My wife is beautiful. Even Edmund and others are trying to steal her from me. Although I don't want to admit it, but..." Emery uncomfortably combed his own bangs, "You are indeed more charming than me. You even stole the heart of our lovely Princess Asna..." Emery sighed and shook his head, then looked behind me with an unseemly wink, "Don't think about stealing my wife's heart again!" After saying that, Emery pulled me and quickened his pace.

Although I disliked Emery a lot, I had to admit, this guy was a master actor!

"Pfft." Shajah's distant laughter came from behind, "Your Highness, you might become the enemy of all men in the world. You've stolen too many girls' hearts..."

Ugh——————If I could vomit.
