Chapter 257: The Mystery of Divine Magic
I was genuinely surprised by Amelia’s progress. She was clearly training hard, and I could tell just from the way her body felt when she hugged me.
"Yeah... I missed you too, Amelia. Haha. But... could you let go for a second? I can’t breathe," I said, almost gasping. Honestly, I thought I was about to pass out.
"Ooh... hehe, I just missed you so much," she replied with a cool smile.
I could feel that familiar yandere aura radiating from her. It sent a chill down my spine.
With a sigh, I placed my hand gently on her head and said, "I missed you too..."
That simple gesture softened her expression, turning her intense smile into something more bashful and endearing.
Inside my head, Envi suddenly shouted, "Hey, you idiot Nao! You should’ve hugged her tighter and kissed her! Why are you treating her like a child?!"
I scolded him in my mind. "You moron! The King is right here! Show some respect!"
Just then, King Aslan approached us and commented on Amelia’s progress. He mentioned that she had succeeded in forming a contract with Hyperion, although it was still incomplete.
She would need a few more weeks before she could fully synchronize with Hyperion and summon him properly. That was understandable.
I told the King that it was great news and expressed my trust in him to guide her through the process. After all, he was the one who knew the most about forming contracts with Hyperion.
Suddenly, Amelia turned toward me and asked, "Um... Naoki, would you take a look at my familiar contract mark? Father said it’s halfway formed. What do you think?"
