Chapter 289: Movement of Necromancer Tower
“Everything is arranged. I have also
assigned the Guards to keep an eye on her every second,” A sudden voice came from the other side of the door before the door was pushed open.
Felona stepped inside the Throne Room after finishing the task assigned to her. She was accompanied by his daughter, who was the Contracted Spirit of Xiu Ying.
“Mother, why is her face so red?” The young spirit asked Felona in a low voice, looking at Yelen who also appeared to be out of breath.
As Eren’s back was turned towards them, she couldn’t see his face. She only saw him walk back towards the Throne, wiping his lips.
“She was tired because there were some complications in the portal here,” Eren said as he sat on the throne, offering a minor explanation.
Felona didn’t understand what he meant. She was here when Eren and Yelen had arrived. At that time, it wasn’t Yelen who was out of breath but Eren. Why did it feel like the two of them had changed places suddenly?
“That aside, I will be leaving this place. In my absence, it’s your responsibility to keep an eye on the girl I brought. Mostly, she won’t wake up as she’s under the effect of a pill. However, even if she wakes up, make sure she doesn’t realize where she is.”
Eren did not let Felona think much about it, quickly changing the topic. “If possible, don’t let her see any Spirits and don’t let her get hurt.”
“Can I ask who that girl is for you to be so serious about it?” Felona asked, quite curious about the identity of the girl as Eren had very particular demands about how to treat her.
It was clear that he was hesitant about her getting hurt in the slightest, but if she was that close to him, he wouldn’t have brought her like this. That really made her wonder about the identity of the girl.
“She is Mist’s daughter. If something happens to her, it will truly spiral out of my
control,” Eren said, his head feeling a lot
better now. Still, he was hesitant about
taking the portal right away.
“Mist’s daughter?” The Spirit Princess
exclaimed in shock. As her mother didn’t
involve herself in the matters of the human
world, she didn’t know the Overlords by their real names. The Spirit Princess was different.
She knew who Mist was. It was the name of
the Southern Overlord who was said to be extremely protective of her daughter.
“You kidnapped the daughter of the
Southern Overlord?” she exclaimed in
shock.
“Southern Overlord’s daughter?” Felona
was also stunned as she heard her
daughter’s words. It became absolutely clear why Eren didn’t want the girl to be hurt or know about the involvement of the
Spirits in this matter.
“Does she know that her daughter is
kidnapped?” she asked.
If the Southern Overlord didn’t know about
it yet, then the situation was still better. As long as she didn’t find out about it for the next three days, then they could return the girl without Mist searching for them.
Eren smiled wryly, realizing what answer Felona was expecting. He thought about trying to phrase his words properly. As he prepared his response and attempted
to speak, Yelen took the lead. “Why won’t she know? He kidnapped her in front of her eyes.”
As she spoke, she lightly bit her lower lips, Eren’s scent still lingering.
“He did what?” The Spirit Princess looked
in disbelief. “How is he still alive?”
‘Sometimes even I wonder about that.’
Eren thought but didn’t express his thoughts in the open.
“Mist can’t track that girl to the Spirit
Realm. At least nothing will happen for the
next few days so you don’t have to worry about anything. I have left plenty of fake clues to keep her busy for the coming days.
Just don’t mess up here.”
“What were you thinking when you brought such a dangerous person h-” Spirit
Princess Estelina asked, feeling trouble brewing but before she could finish, Felona
closed her mouth.
Estelina was silenced but she was still
discontent. Ever since she brought Eren to
this world, they never had a week of peace without one thing or another happening one after another.
“I will follow the instructions and make sure that nothing goes wrong,” Felona expressed, slightly surprised at how fast Eren was growing.
Just recently, he was quite weak. However,
now he was so strong that she could even kidnap Mist’s daughter from right before her without using the powers of the Spirit
Queen?
She was quite curious about him as a
person. If he was the one behind this plan, she believed that she might have considered all the possibilities already. They just had to make sure they didn’t spoil
his plan. In any case, they couldn’t go against his words.
“You have been working hard.” Eren could
see how good Felona was. She was the perfect proxy to rule over the Spirit Realm in his stead that he could have asked for.
Unlike Estelina and the short tempered generals, she was much wiser and knew how to adjust according to the situation.
“Have there been any movements from the Necromancer Tower?” Eren asked, remembering that it had been quite some
time since he heard about the Necromancer Tower.
He had killed an important member of the
Necromancer Tower in the Spirit Realm. He even expected their entire force to
barge inside to have revenge and crush the Spirit Realm but until now, he hadn’t heard anything about it.
He wondered if it didn’t happen or Felona
had been taking care of it on her own without troubling him.
“None. Ever since that day, not a single
invasion took place for some strange reason,” Felona explained. “Thanks to the temporary peace, we have remade the
border city and strengthened it as well.”
“Of course they don’t come. They are scared. Especially without that strange jar, they can’t restrict the Spirits,” Estelina proudly stated. “If it wasn’t for that jar, even then we would’ve taken care of that Lich without needing help.”.
