Chapter 223: Spiritual Masters
Seiryuu is walking fast through the halls, his father and the guard on his tail.
"How are you sure it’s this female, Seiryuu?" His father asks.
"She’s the only female who ever gave me a painting as a gift. And it’s the only gift from a female that I ever kept, too." Seiryuu answers.
They arrive at the front gate, Seiryuu and his father saw all those males and sensed that their energies were different. They look at Claud, sensing that his energy is pure like Nature. They open the space, and that’s when they see Astri. Her energy was a hit on their face, as it was Nature itself purifying their souls.
"Astri.." Seiryuu softly says, looking at her, impressed.
"Hello, old friend. I told you I would come visit once I was complete." Astri smiles.
"Oh Nature...Goddess of Nature, I’m not worthy enough to be in your presence.." Seiryuu’s father falls to his knees and bows his head on the ground.
Seiryuu feels the need to do the same. When he met her, he could sense that she was special, but now he’s sure that she is what she said she was. Her very presence is glorifying. Seeing their lords bowing to Astri made all of the guards bow to her, too. They were ashamed that they didn’t sense anything.
"Please, stand up, my friends. I thought we were past this, Lord Seiryuu." Astri says.
"Your energy... It’s a great honor for me to be in your presence. Before your energy was already a blessing, now it’s too much even to feel I’m worthy of looking at your face.." Seiryuu answers.
"You’re Mizuryuus. Sacred beasts like Unicorns. And I consider you my friend. You’re more than worthy to look at me. Please, treat me the way you treated me before." Astri says.
