"Lord Caelan, I’m very clear about your strength."

"But the problem is, this place should be extremely heavily guarded, right? It seems impossible for us to successfully sneak inside!"

Faced with Alyssa’s question, Caelan merely waved his hand calmly.

"Who said we’re sneaking in? Isn’t it better to walk in openly?"

What did you say???

An expression of disbelief appeared on Alyssa’s face.

Stop joking, okay?

This was the Highland Tauren’s most precious place. How could they possibly walk in openly?

On the other side, when Caelan saw that Alyssa did not believe him, he did not explain too much.

"Just watch. Wait for me here."

After saying that, Caelan suddenly turned around and swaggered toward the entrance of the [Zephyr Knights] Instance.

Everything happened exactly as Alyssa had expected.

The moment Caelan reached the entrance, two Highland Tauren soldiers stopped him.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing in a military restricted zone?"

Hearing the soldier’s stern questioning, Alyssa’s heart instantly leapt into her throat.

Caelan... he wouldn’t really be that reckless, would he?

Was he going to directly kill his way into the entrance of the [Zephyr Knights] Instance?

Was that something a normal person could even think of?

Yet just as Alyssa thought Caelan was probably about to start a massacre, she saw him suddenly raise his palm high.

Then he slapped one of the soldiers hard across the face, his tone filled with reprimand.

"Damn it, take a good look at who I am!"

After saying that, Caelan took out something resembling an emblem from his storage space.

After a brief moment of confusion, the soldiers immediately revealed terrified expressions. They bowed humbly to Caelan.

"Honorable Grand Duke Rosewood, we are terribly sorry. We failed to recognize you just now!"

"Do you need us to do anything for you? Please give your orders!"

Faced with the soldiers’ change in attitude, Caelan let out a cold snort and looked down at them with his nostrils.

Then he turned around and gently crooked his finger toward Alyssa.

"Elisa, come here. Don’t be so shy."

Alyssa: ???

When did my name change to Elisa?

Wasn’t that the name of a Highland Tauren royal?

However, based on her trust in Caelan, Alyssa still jogged over. Even so, she did not relax in the slightest.

After all, this was the most heavily guarded place in the Highland Tauren territory.

She really did not want any unexpected accident to happen.

But what Alyssa did not expect was that after she ran over, Caelan directly wrapped an arm around her waist and held her.

"Cae—"

She had only just opened her mouth when Caelan interrupted her in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"Elisa, I know you’re still angry with me, but I, Rosewood, am also a big shot who needs to save face."

"So can we not make things so complicated between us? Today, I swear this place will give you an experience beyond your imagination!"

Alyssa looked utterly confused and had no idea how to respond.

Then she saw Caelan wink at her.

"Th-then... all right. But..."

Seeing that she had agreed, Caelan immediately turned his head to look at the two soldiers, his tone carrying a hint of impatience.

"So, are you two still not planning to step aside?"

The two soldiers trembled slightly and instinctively exchanged glances.

They had both heard about Grand Duke Rosewood’s romantic affairs, but they had never expected to run into one today.

According to Earl Hildon’s orders, no one was allowed to enter this place.

The problem was that Hildon was only an earl.

The Rosewood before them was one of the few grand dukes of the Highland Tauren!

Besides, the Elisa beside him was a member of the Highland Tauren royal family!

Hmm... 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Sure enough, the rumors were true.

There was indeed some unclear relationship between Grand Duke Rosewood and Princess Elisa.

But...

Even if they liked to play around, was there really any need to come to a place like this?

Just as the two soldiers were hesitating over whether to open the entrance, Caelan angrily kicked the other soldier hard in the lower abdomen.

"What? Do my orders not work anymore? I’ll give you two choices right now. Either open the door, or drag that damn fatty Hildon over here for me!"

Seeing that Caelan was truly angry, the soldiers nearby immediately opened the seal on the entrance.

After all, they knew very well that Grand Duke Rosewood was extremely violent. When furious, he had even beaten Earl Hildon before.

Ahem!

There was really no need to spread these anecdotes about the nobles.

And so, while Alyssa was still completely dumbfounded, Caelan swaggered into the entrance of the [Zephyr Knights] Instance with her in his arms.

"Wait, we got in just like that???"

Alyssa’s face was filled with astonishment.

Caelan, on the other hand, said calmly,

"It’s actually very simple. We just borrowed Rosewood and Elisa’s identities."

"You might not know this, but Rosewood is currently secretly visiting the human race. So I conveniently borrowed their identities for a bit."

After hearing this, Alyssa felt completely numb.

She swallowed with difficulty, and her gaze unconsciously fell on the emblem in Caelan’s hand.

"So this emblem... is actually real, right?"

Caelan rolled his eyes at her and said irritably,

"Of course it’s real! Making this kind of emblem is extremely complicated. I don’t have the time to make a fake one."

"Also, the reason those soldiers let us pass so easily was because of the emblem, not because of our appearances. Do you understand?"

Alyssa felt a little dizzy, but she still nodded.

She simply had not expected Caelan to be so bold that he even dared to borrow the emblem.

"Lord Caelan, aren’t you worried about being discovered?"

Alyssa’s question made Caelan freeze for a second.

Then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"I’m not really afraid of being discovered by them. I just find it troublesome."

"The current Highland Tauren can’t even compare to the Ivorykin. What is there to worry about?"

At this moment, Alyssa finally understood that she would never be able to keep up with Caelan’s train of thought.

"All right, stop asking so many questions. Let’s first find a way to locate the entrance to the [Zephyr Knights]."

At the same time, the two soldiers opening the door quickly drew the attention of the upper-level manager.

"What’s going on with you two? Why did you let people in?"

"Ah? It was Grand Duke Rosewood? Then never mind."

The upper-level manager put down the communication device and leisurely brewed himself a cup of coffee.

He was just a minor manager. He had no desire to get involved in the affairs of those big shots.

Just then, he noticed the internal affairs newspaper delivered by the morning postman.

This newspaper recorded the movements of the Highland Tauren higher-ups.

The front-page headline read—

"Grand Duke Rosewood Secretly Visits the Human Race."
