"If I want to get out of this place, this might be the perfect opportunity while Trisa is off my trail," Eren thought.
He had an idea and turned around. Trisa wasn't feeling well and was resting. Even Estelina wasn't present.
The Professors also weren't paying attention to him because Trisa had told them to stay away. He didn't think he would get a better opportunity to leave.
He raised his hand and summoned a diary from his storage ring. He also took out a pen and started writing.
"Dear Palace Master."
"I just rembered that I have a friend in the Upper Realm. I thought this might be a good opportunity to et up with an old friend."
"I wanted to take you with as well, but you aren't well at the mont, so I will have to take this trip alone. I should be back as soon as I can. Until then, please don't worry about my safety. I will be completely fine."
"Yours..." he wrote, but quickly crossed out the word, adding only his na at the end.
He tore off the page from his diary, and folded it perfectly. He looked back at the door of Trisa's room.
There was a small gap under the door, just enough for him to slide the paper inside.
"No, what if she is awake and reads it before I can even leave? It would be foolish. I can't leave this letter in her room."
Instead of delivering the letter right away, he jumped off the balcony and landed outside the Palace where only the higher ups of the Palace could live.
"Greetings, Senior Eren."
He started walking away from the Palace, while being greeted by the disciples of the Ice Maiden Palace, who looked like absolute fairies.
The domain of the Ice Maiden Palace was vast, and it took him a lot of ti to go from the Palace Master's residence to the dicinal Peak, where the dicinal Elder lived.
Out of all the Elders, he was the most familiar with the dicinal Elder as she ca to check up on him a few tis.
"Elder, can I ask for your help?" He called out to the Elder, who was plucking herbs from the field personally.
"Hmm? It's you? What are you doing here?"
"I ca to ask for a little help. Actually, I needed to get out of this place. I had the permission from your Palace Master, but I forgot to get her permission token. And now she fell asleep, and I didn't feel like disturbing her."
"Can I use your permission token?"
"Hmm? Just that? And here I thought you would ask for so big help," the dicinal Elder stood up, and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
She approached Eren, and gave him a small token that was barely the size of a marble. "The barrier won't stop you with this."
Eren glanced at the token, but his gaze subconsciously kept moving above, noticing that her shirt was half open, sweat trickling down between her cleavage.
Even though they were in the frozen mountain, but the dicine garden was kept at a high temperature for the herbs that were grown here, which couldn't be kept at a low temperature.
The Elder clearly wasn't accustod to the heat.
"Are they big?" The dicinal Elder asked suddenly.
"Huh? What?" Eren raised his head, stunned at her words.
"The herbs? Are they big? I put a lot of effort into growing them."
"Yeah, they are very big," Eren answered, without even glancing at the herbs. He quickly turned around, and left the place with the token.
He cursed himself inwardly. He was so old, yet he kept falling for such things. He didn't know why, but his feelings were more stirred recently. First, it was with Estelia, and now with the dicinal Elder.
'Is it because it's been a long ti since I?' He thought, before quickly shaking the thought off.
"Is sothing wrong?" The Elder asked, watching Eren shake his head fiercely for no reason.
"Ah, right. There was one more thing I needed your help in. I had sothing to give to your Palace Master, but as I said, she is sleeping. Moreover, I don't think she should read this now. It's for a special occasion."
He brought out the folded piece of letter from his other pocket, and kept it in the charming Elder's hand.
"Can you give this letter to her tomorrow?"
The dicinal Elder was curious about what was in the letter, but she didn't know if she could read it. It was a letter from a husband to his wife. If the Palace Master knew that she read sothing that was for her, it might be bad.
She controlled her curiosity and kept the letter safely. Instead, she tried to ask Eren directly about the content of the letter. But the mont she raised her head, she found the entire place empty.
Eren was nowhere to be seen, and had already left.
"Hmph, he is fast. It's not a good quality for a man." She turned around and returned to plucking the herbs for the next concoction.
Eren had travelled over fifty miles, and reached the threshold of the Ice Maiden Palace Domain. With the token in his pocket granted by an Elder, the barrier didn't react to him.
He was easily able to pass through the barrier. Once he was out of the place, he didn't hesitate for a single mont and increased his speed, with Draconian Wings coming out from his back.
"Finally, I am free of their oversight!" He stretched out his arms, and celebrated, going farther and farther away from the Ice Maiden Palace and towards the Central Continent.
He had only a few goals for the Central Continent. One was to find the skill of Descent so he could check the status back ho. And the other was to contact his spy, who held a high position in the Central Continent.
