Through the estate where the main palace existed, a blurred figure seed to be moving at a speed that gave the illusion of teleportation.
It appeared more aligned with shadow travel than light travel, given the mild flicker in energy whenever it passed through the light, making it sowhat tangible.
'What did she an?' Olea hurled out of the princess's palace, her body slightly injured from the previous battle but healed to so extent after taking the healing potion she had on her.
She couldn't help but recall the princess's words, where she ntioned sothing about being second to her.
In that context, it didn't make any sense, as it ca rather unexpectedly.
Given they were battling, her showing herself again after leaving made Olea think that she would attack once more.
Olea could feel that her desperation for power might have made her act recklessly and left a bad impression on Kyle's mind.
However, his actions were sothing she could not understand.
Even though she knew she didn't want to harm him, it was clear to him that she had attacked with the intent to kill.
Yet he seed unfazed, not blaming her for anything.
He hadn't even spoken to Prista; instead, he had given them dinsional rings, which were expensive items typically held by only strong cultivators and were rarely gifted to one another.
Additionally, the ring she possessed was not empty; it was filled with several talismans and materials specifically for the Exorcism Sect.
'Let's first head to the Sect—' she thought about her priority to get back at the ghost sect, but then she suddenly halted as her figure materialized in transition, with speed decreasing from a sprint to a walk and finally steadying as she noticed a figure standing in front of her.
'Did she co here to attack?' Olea instinctively reached for her sword's hilt, looking towards the princess, who stood before her with four dead bodies levitating in mid-air behind her.
This made Olea think that she might have co to kill her without letting Kyle know about it.
"Follow ," Aleriana said, intercepting Olea's path and halting her before she could go further. She looked towards Olea, clearly noticing her body language and dirtied clothes.
Ignoring it, she ordered Olea to follow before her body blurred once again, hurling back towards the main palace, leaving behind the commands in a firm tone.
'What does she want now?' On the other hand, Olea looked at the princess, who gave her an order before leaving. She followed the princess's trail with suspicion but also understood that if she wanted to attack, there was no reason for the princess to lay a trap and tell her to follow.
Given the princess's elevated strength, Olea loosened her grip on the sword's hilt before her figure also blurred, directly following behind the princess as they both hurled towards the main palace at the center of the capital city.

Within the main palace belonging to the Azure Fla Kingdom, within the room wide enough for the noblen standing and living with ministers bowing towards the figure at the head of the seat after a long eting, he turned his gaze towards the direction of the princess' palace, from where a few monts ago he had sensed the ripple of internal energy showing a battle.
Naturally, he knew exactly the battle was between three individuals, with each of their Qi giving away their identity, yet he did not intervene, given this was a battle in the venue of the princess's palace.
'The little child may surpass you', seated with hands folded on that bulky, muscular physique with a mustache, the man's eyes turned towards a ring he wore on his hand.
Closing his eyes, he recalled the day one of the children, belonging to a woman who played a crucial role in helping him ascend to the throne, had asked for a gift on her coming-of-age ceremony—the palace belonging to her mother and one of his wives.
With a smile forming as he recalled a small piece of mory when Aleriana had asked for the Northern Palace, which was in conflict between queens who wanted it to be handed over to them, with even political pressure on him leaving the child to fend off against many wolves eyeing that palace and her little life, still he made sure to protect from the shadows.
But his own hands were restricted from directly interfering in the matter of the palace, leaving him in a dilemma until that child directly asked for the palace in front of everyone, giving him a reason and a firm ground to protect that palace and officially bestow it directly to the child who rightfully deserved it.
"Your majesty, the princess has declared that she wants to get rid of the Ghost Sect's support," ca a voice from a minister who stood beside the king, giving a bow as he inford about the information already circulating in the capital city.
"Oh, so that's why....but..," the king seated there, hearing the information, understood the mont ago he felt the storming specter Qi within the northern palace exactly belonged to the guild master of the ghost sect, who was probably in battle with Aleriana.
However, he halted as his gaze turned in a different direction from where he saw two energies strong enough to be felt from here, hurling in his direction before, with a flicker of light, a young woman landed directly on the balcony, following the other, standing on the railing, while four dead figures hovered in the air before being thrown like ragdolls onto the floor of the chamber.
'!'
"What is the aning of this, Princess!" the minister yelled, and even the soldiers within the room sprang into action, taking out their swords to protect the king at such action from the princess, who barged into the king's official chamber without any prior appointnt in such a way.
"Greetings, your majesty," Princess Aleriana, however, ignored everyone, as she suppressed her energy, gave a small head bow to the man seated at the faraway center, while looking towards her with amusent and a sharp glint and aura that seed enormous in front of her.
"....Is the guild master of the Ghost Sect not going to greet?" the middle-aged man, amused, looked towards the white-robed woman, masked with her eyes, widened, clearly glaring back at him without showing the respect, while he knew exactly why, yet inquired in a very amused tone.
"P-pardon , greetings, Your majesty," Olea, for the second ti, seeing the king, felt her blood burn with rage, looking towards the man who definitely had his hands in her parents' death, either directly or indirectly.
But seated there with his figure too enormous, as if standing in front of a mountain, she decided not to let her anger be displayed and suffer consequences, as she also gave a small head bow.
'I will kill every one of you!' While in her heart the burning desire to get revenge on the Arcutus family and also this emperor, who most probably had his hands behind everything, she clenched her jaws, which were hidden within the mask, yet the clenched fist did not go unnoticed by the king, who just gave her a smile, shaking his head as he remained seated before narrowing his gaze and in a firm tone let his voice revert,
WHOOSH
A surge of aura burst out of his body, looking towards Olea as so deep mory raised with eyes glinting and jaws clenched with canines visible, the king with ominous voice inquired.
"So, TeLL ChILd, wHy dId YoU BrING a PeST oF tHe GHoST SeCT HeRe?"
