Chapter 213
As dawn approached, Jonas and Elara prepared to depart, accompanied by the chosen priest, a wise and serene figure named Father Aelric. The journey back to their kingdom was filled with discussions on the integration of their respective detection methods, strategies for discreetly testing high-ranking officials, and plans for the joint task force.
Back on the eastern continent, Ikem had already returned from his journey to his brother’s realm. He could have stayed longer, but he had a kingdom to lead and protect.
At the moment, Ikem had put on his royal garb to look presentable to his cousins, the other demigods, as they were about to have an official meeting regarding the events on the Northern continent. What Ikem dreaded most was that his other cousins might have similar news or worse.
Snapping his fingers, his official throne appeared before him. He sat in it, looking at the seven huge floating mirrors. Almost as if they were sentient, the moment Ikem’s eyes fell on them, they began humming. Soon, clear images of his other cousins appeared on them.
Ikem wasn’t the only one prepared for the meeting; his other cousins were looking their best too. Ikem’s eyes were drawn to Ursula, who smiled at him and said, "You look great, my love."
Ikem’s smile widened as his eyes squinted. He smoothly answered back, "So do you, my lady."
Tide rolled his eyes. Among his other cousins, he was the only one tired of the two lovebirds always flirting with each other during official meetings. Of course, this wasn’t because watching them reminded him that he had no one.
Tide shook his head at the thought. "No, he had plenty of maidens waiting every night, so he had someone," he thought. But looking at Ikem and Ursula sending air kisses to each other, Tide’s eyes started twitching. "After all this while, you two lovebirds still haven’t gotten laid?"
Ursula was about to snap back at him when she noticed his new look, even though he tried hiding it under his royal garb. "What happened to you, Tide?" she asked with concern.
