“Indeed, I am quite curious as well…
How do you know about me, Little Girl?”
Astaria questioned with a curious look on her face.
“It has been a while, Astaria.”
It has been many years since she had last seen her sister, they may not look like it, but the 10 sisters did get along with each other, for Allura, after Nux, her sisters were the closest people to her. So seeing a familiar face, Allura failed to control herself and muttered out loud.
Hearing her words, Astaria frowned.
This little girl…
She was sure this was her first time meeting with her…
Then…
Then why did it feel like knew each other for a long time?
“You sure are interesting, Girl.”
Astaria commented with a smile on her face.
Allura finally got back into her character and bowed her head.
“I wish to talk with you alone, Lady Astaria.”
“You are not allowed to do that.”
Gibson jumped in, Allura, however, just glanced at him, her blue eyes turned cold as she replied,
“I didn’t know that a mere Expert Stage Cultivator had the authority to make decisions for an Emperor.”
Gibson’s eyes widened in surprise as he unconsciously stepped back…
“H-How do you know about Emperor Stage?”
He questioned and he wasn’t alone, even Ricardus and Astaria had the same question in their mind.
However, for some reason, Astaria could feel Allura’s thoughts.
She knew that this little girl didn’t put anyone here in front of her eyes.
In front of this 10-year-old girl, the King, his Ministers, all the Soldiers hiding in the background didn’t matter and even her own parents, none of them mattered. The only person she cared about here was Astaria, and sensing that, Astaria didn’t know whether she should be impressed by this girl’s braveness, or be wary of her.
“Lady Astaria, I know you have many questions in your mind, I will answer all your questions, however, doing it here in front of all these people would be troublesome.”
Allura looked into Astaria’s eyes and spoke with a serious look on her face.
“…”
Astaria started thinking.
And seeing that, a playful smile appeared on Allura’s face,
“What? Are you telling me that the strongest being in our world is scared of a mere 10-year-old child? I didn’t know I came off as an intimidating person, I always thought my face was quite cute.”
“…”
A weird silence fell over the royal palace when everyone heard what Allura said.
Especially Ricardus and the Ministers… their faces were pale with fright…
This was the first time they had seen someone talk to Astaria like that.
Astaria on the other hand, glanced at Allura for a while and seeing that this little girl was still looking at her with that annoying and prideful smile on her face… Astaria felt weirdly irritated. Especially since this little girl looked so adorable while she had that expression.
“Alright you little demon, let’s have a chat, alone.”
In the end, Astaria nodded.
“Lady As-”
Gibson was about to speak, however, Astaria just glared at him and the man turned silent.
“Follow me.”
She ordered Allura and then turned around.
Allura followed behind, completely ignoring others present in the Royal Hall, even the King.
After walking for 10 minutes, Allura and Astaria finally appeared in front of Astaria’s room.
“It’s been a while since I have been here,” Astaria commented as she looked around with a nostalgic look on her face.
Astaria found it odd, however, she ignored all this for the time being.
She would ask everything once they have a seat in her room, she was not an impatient being, after all.
“Come in, little girl.” She ordered.
Allura nodded and then, she walked into Astaria’s room.
Then without asking for her permission, she jumped onto her bed and stretched her body.
“Haaahhh~~
I can finally talk with you now.”
She muttered.
“Say what you want to say,” Astaria spoke.
Allura glanced at Astaria and smiled,
“I am sure you have many questions in your head,
Let me make everything easier for you.
Your first question should be who am I, correct?
I am Allura Leander.”
“Leander?” Astaria frowned.
“That is correct, not Silversane, not Skyfall,
I am Allura Leander, your Sister who came from the future.”
Allura revealed.
“What?”
Astaria felt like she heard it wrong, however,
“I am your sister who came from the Future.”
“Don’t spout nonsense, little girl. I do not have time to play with you.”
“I am not playing around, Astaria.
I am telling the truth.
What? Do you really think a 10-year-old person would be able to sit in front of you and talk to you like this?”
“I do not have any sister.”
“That is why I said, I am your Sister from the future. There are still a few decades left before I become your sister.”
Allura replied.
Astaria thought about it for a little while, however, in the end,
She shook her head and facepalmed,
“Haah~~ What am I even doing talking to a 10-year-old…”
Obviously, she didn’t believe Allura. And how could she, the story Allura came up with was too ridiculous.
“Astaria, I am not 10 years old. Just think about it, which 10 years old child knows about the existence of Emperor Stage Cultivators?
Alright, if you don’t believe me, let me give you more details,
There are a total of 4 Emperor Stage Cultivators,
With you being the Strongest.
Herms Lizander being the second,
Alcimus Woods the Third.
And Amletus Skadi at last.
Before you, Herms was the Strongest being in this world, however, you took over him because you are able to directly access the surrounding Mana and use your own Mana at the same time, creating a combination of deadly attacks where both your speed and strength is unreasonably high.”
Allura revealed and hearing her words, Astaria’s eyes widened in surprise.
The knowledge about the existence of the Emperors aside, the fact that this girl knew all the Emperors’ Stage Cultivators in the world, and how strong they are…
And Astaria’s secret which not many people knew…
There is no way she was just a random 10-year-old girl.
Astaria didn’t know if she was actually her sister from the future like she said she was, however, this girl was definitely not someone she could just ignore.
“You still do not believe me, do you?” Allura, who read Astaria’s expression caught on.
“I do not. You could be a spy sent by a Herms or other Emperors, if it is them, they would know about all this.”
“Then how would you explain the way I talk? There is no way a 10-year-old can talk like this.”
“Anything is possible, if you were strictly supervised and instructed since you were born, acting like this is very much possible as well.”
“…”
Allura turned silent.
This was getting annoying.
Astaria continued to observe her. Trying to find something, anything that could give her away.
“Haaah! Fuck it!”
In the end, Allura cursed out loud.
Astaria frowned, Allura then sighed,
“I have already changed the future by meeting you here, it doesn’t matter if I change it a little more.
You need a more concrete proof, right?
You suspect that I am sent by other Emperors…
Ugghh… I need to think about something only you would know about…”
Allura started scratching her head.
“But everything I know will only happen decades later…”
Allura continued to think then suddenly, her expression changed.
“That could work…” She muttered to herself.
Then, she glanced at Astaria and,
“Give me a pen and a paper.”
“Why do you need it?”
“Just give me.”
Astaria frowned, however, in the end, she gave Allura what she wanted.
Allura quickly grabbed everything and started drawing something on it.
15 minutes passed by, and then, she passed the paper to Astaria,
“I don’t know if you have started working on it yet, however, this is the technique you create in the future, Sword Aura.”
Astaria started reading the content and suddenly, her eyes widened in horror.
This technique…
This was definitely an advanced version of what she was working on. She quickly took out her sword, the Mana around her moved, her sword shined a little, however, a second later, it returned to normal and nothing happened.
“No, that’s not it. I need to…”
Astaria started talking to herself.
Seeing her act like that, Allura facepalmed,
‘I shouldn’t have given this to her… This crazy sword lover… right now, she doesn’t even have Nux, the only person she would leave her sword for…’
She thought inwardly as she shook her head.
‘Whatever, as long as I get to be his first.’
“Do you believe me now? There is no way anyone would know about this, right?”
Allura questioned.
Astaria finally came out of her reverie and questioned,
“How do you know about this technique?”
“As I said, I came from the future, and am your future sis-”
“I would not share this technique with anyone even after I complete it, I am sure about it.”
“Well, people change, Astaria.
You would even change your surname, let alone this rigidness of yours.”
“My surname?”
Astaria narrowed her eyes.
“Nothing, I shall not share more, I do not wish to affect the future any more than I already have. Anyways, I am sure that after seeing this technique, you believe my words now.”
“I have a few questions. If you manage to answer them, I will believe you.”
“Who is the person I love the most in this world?”
“Nux.”
“Huh?”
“Uhh… I mean, Arvina? I guess she should be the person the current you are closest to, right? Or maybe your son, but he is not in this world anymo-”
“That is enough, answer the next question,
Who is the person I hate the most?” Astaria questioned.
“Ricardus.”
This time, Allura’s answer was instantaneous.
“That was quick.”
Even Astaria was taken aback.
“You were the one who ordered his execution in the future, and you looked quite pleased when you did it.” Allura replied.
“What?” Astaria’s expression changed.
“Don’t look at me like that, I won’t tell you how it happened,
I will only say that the future you managed to avenge your son, so you can rest easy.”
Allura smiled gently.
“…”
Astaria, on the other hand, turned silent.
She looked into Allura’s eyes for a while, and then,
“You really did come from the future huh…”
She commented.
“So you believe me now?”
“I sensed your genuine intention when you talked about my revenge.”
Astaria smiled and Allura smiled back.
“So, my sister from the future, why did you come here?”
Astaria questioned.
“I need you to take me in as your student.” Allura replied.
“Huh?” Astaria frowned.
“I want to use your status to protect me.”
“To protect yourself? From whom?”
“Ricardus.”
Astaria understood,
“That bastard marries you in the future.”
“I will not go through that nightmare again.”
“Alright, you will be my student from now on.” Astaria agreed.
“Thank you.” Allura smile as she nodded her head.
“What do you plan to do from now on?”
Astaria questioned.
“Nothing much, I do not want to return to my house, so just give me a room, I will stay in there and practice the powers I have recently gained and try to control it.”
“Powers?”
“Well, it is complicated, you will know about it in the future.”
“You think I can learn them?”
“Just focus on your swordsmanship, Astaria.
I do not wish to make things even more difficult for him, also, you cannot learn those powers anyways.”
“Who is this ‘him’ you are talking about? You seem to be quite close to him.”
Hearing that question, Allura just smiled,
“Oh don’t worry, you will meet him soon enough.”
“You are annoying.” Astaria snorted.
“I mean, do you really want to hear about a man rather than giving me room, pushing me out, and then finally focusing on the technique I just gave you?”
Allura questioned and suddenly, Astaria’s expression changed.
“You are right,
I should not waste my time.
Those men are not worth the attention.”
Astaria commented.
Allura just smiled as she recalled Astaria who melts in Nux’s arm whenever he hugs her.
‘I wonder how the future you would react if she hears these words.’
