Theresa naturally remained in that small room. At least until the “Wings of Freedom” verified the authenticity of her testimony, the winged people wouldn’t allow her to leave just like that.
Violet temporarily didn’t have a good solution for this.
However, Theresa was carefree about it, and there was nothing to worry about. The white-feathered warriors were both guarding and indirectly ensuring the safety of the village girl.
To be on the safe side, before the priestess left, she deliberately left a light elental spirit with Theresa. Considering Kunnir’s situation at that ti, Violet infused it with more energy. It should at least keep this summoned creature active for more than a month.
Next, it was waiting for the end of the Feathered Emperor’s birthday celebration and then figuring out how to obtain permission to et the Sky God. After all, these days, the entire island was focused on the upcoming major event, and even the Sky Temple was temporarily closed.
Although Sigrid offered to help, the priestess had a habit of not putting all her eggs in one basket and intended to be prepared on both fronts.
After thinking it over, without drawing too much attention, she decided to use the Human United Kingdom’s delegation as a springboard.
Therefore, after returning to the embassy, she and the young dragon girl found the working head of the delegation, Miss Felina.
However, before Violet could explain her intentions, she heard another piece of surprising news from Felina.
“You said... Leila and Rene were summoned by the Feathered Emperor?”
“Yes, the emissary ca this morning. The sisters wanted to consult you, but you weren’t here. They had no choice but to go with the winged envoy to the administrative district. They asked to notify you if I saw you.”
Felina’s expression was also sowhat strange. She naturally knew the identity of the winged sisters, and since entering the Azure Sky Kingdom, at the priestess’s instruction, Leila and Rene had not concealed their wings.
It was quite normal for the Feathered Emperor to show interest in this legendary pair of white-feathered sisters. It was expected by Violet, but she didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, especially since the delegation had only arrived in the Sky City last night.
Thinking about it, Hilda or Sigrid probably already reported this matter to higher-ups. Maybe they have even investigated the identities of the sisters before their disappearance.
Leila and Rene didn’t have parents, which might sound strange. To be precise, they didn’t know who their parents were. Due to the unique structure of the overwhelming number of female White Feather Wing Tribe mbers, reproducing pure-blooded offspring through the conventional ans of both sexes was undoubtedly very difficult.
Additionally, young White Feathers lived together in a distant and safe hidden place. After most White Feather winged individuals gave birth to their offspring through special thods, they were raised and educated by dedicated individuals, similar to an orphanage, with very little interaction.
This was also because the White Feather Tribe generally had longer lifespans, and sticking too closely to blood relations and kinship could lead to various strange problems.
“What about Edwina? Haven’t seen her anywhere?”
At the ntion of this, the head of the delegation’s expression beca even more peculiar.
“That girl, saying she couldn’t rest easy with the sisters being summoned alone, made a fuss and followed them. When the envoy said the Feathered Emperor didn’t order to see her, she took out the Six-Winged Holy Emblem representing the direct lineage of the divine descendants and a legendary status, intending to forcefully et her. They were pressured to urgently report to the higher-ups.”
“..........?”
Violet twitched her mouth a few tis.
How should she put it? It sounded a lot like sothing that overly dedicated and warm-hearted holy knight princess would do?
“So, did the Feathered Emperor agree?”
Felina didn’t speak but simply shrugged helplessly.
“That girl’s head is really stubborn...”
Fortunately, she was dealing with reasonable winged people. If this happened elsewhere, wouldn’t they just start a fight directly?
In the end, the Feathered Emperor couldn’t possibly treat their own kind poorly. Besides, these two sisters ca with the Human United Kingdom delegation, and when dealing with such matters, one must consider both sides.
If Violet guessed correctly, this summoning was likely to inquire about their situation when they went missing, how they spent this ti, and their future plans.
Most likely, the emphasis would be on the last point — showing importance and attempting to win them over.
After all, legendary individuals are influential forces anywhere. Even for an organization as strong as the ” Wings of Freedom,” on the surface, there were only a few individuals like the “Four Wings.”
“This is too chaotic... Oh well, I’ll go check it out too. I just feel a bit uneasy.”
Mainly directed at a certain headstrong and oblivious holy knight princess.
Felina paused for a mont and then looked thoughtful.
“Miss Violet, are you going too? Well... it’s not impossible. If you insist on eting the Feathered Emperor, I can apply in the na of the delegation...”
“No need, I’ll quietly go myself. Don’t worry, I won’t alert anyone. Just watching from the sidelines as a precaution.”
“Huh?”
Although Felina’s thod might also result in an audience with the Feathered Emperor, it was too troubleso. Moreover, repeatedly doing so might give the impression of being troubleso. Violet had a good impression of both the Azure Sky Kingdom and the Feathered Emperor, so she didn’t want to create unnecessary tension.
At tis like these, it was indeed more convenient to rely on the Chaleon Cloak for stealth. Anyway, the Feathered Emperor was only surpassing tier, so she shouldn’t be able to see through the invisibility granted by a divine-tier equipnt.
Hmm, should be fine.
Felina frowned slightly, imdiately having so ominous speculations. Along the way, she had seen too many similar actions, and even though Violet’s words were vague, the head of the delegation could roughly guess what Violet intended to do.
“Wait a minute, I feel like this might be... Hey, Miss Violet...! Where did she go!?”
Although she imdiately tried to stop this priestess who always did as she pleased, it was unfortunate. Soone directly pulled out a cloak that looked bizarre from the air, draped it over themselves, and instantly disappeared along with the golden-haired girl behind them.
“Hey! That’s the heavily guarded Feathered Emperor’s palace! Hey hey, are you still there?”
No response, only the lingering faint fragrance in the air and the curtains lifted by the wind proved the presence of the two in the room just now.
With no one in the room, Felina leaned her elbows on the desk, covering her forehead with her hand, black lines forming on her head.
“Talking about others being reckless, but Miss Violet, you’re the one who loves stirring things up the most. I really can’t believe it... sigh, I hope nothing goes wrong....”
......................
In the “Administrative District” of the Sky City, it was composed of vast and continuous buildings. Although the Azure Sky Kingdom was an imperial state with the Feathered Emperor as the supre ruler, compared to the situation in the Human United Kingdom, the Feathered Emperor here, while equally majestic, didn’t adopt an overbearing attitude.
Especially in this great tradition of competing for the throne based on strength, without the existence of privileged classes like nobility or royalty, the “Feathered Emperor’s Palace” located in the center of the administrative district felt more like an exclusive office for the Feathered Emperor.
And now, two newly minted legendary White Feathers, along with a divinely descended Holy Knight forcibly included, stood in front of the main hall gate symbolizing the supre authority of the Feathered Emperor’s palace, awaiting the summons.
Even if they were casual, this was a crucial location representing the highest ruler of a vast nation, a hall symbolizing the majesty of the Winged Emperor. Therefore, even the three individuals who had reached legendary status showed enough respect.
Creak... Creak...
The magnificent gates, over ten ters high, slowly opened to the sides.
“Sister, a-are we going in?”
“This... we should wait for Her Majesty’s summons, right? Just because the door is open...”
Leila and Rene, who had recently co of age, were, after all, children. As White Feathers of the sa kin as the Feathered Emperor, they harbored nervousness and unease about facing the supre being.
It was precisely because of this that Edwina insisted on accompanying them forcefully.
Having traveled together for so long, she had always kept a low profile in front of Miss Violet and the enigmatic guardian dragon. She never dared to overstep any boundaries.
Yet, the holy knight treated these two winged sisters, who were almost the sa in strength and age, as dear companions.
