Chapter 45: False Immortal
’Well, it’s already good enough that he even allows my subordinates to observe him... if he doesn’t want that, then I doubt he would show himself even if someone from the six of us were to try looking for him on the second floor’ the cold beauty thought to herself before she stood up from her seat, moving towards the nearby bed seemingly way too big for just her to sleep on, plopping down there with her face falling flat on the soft mattress.
’Still, if he allows that, why won’t he even say something or anything at all!?’ the usually cold beauty’s expression collapse into one filled with frustration as her feet starts flailing around, an act that would make anyone who knows her wonder whether this is truly that ruthless and cold witch at all.
----------
While the cold beauty is struggling to control the frustration welling from deep inside her, on the other hand, the five who are already out of the room are currently talking among themselves, mostly the four older, more knowledgeable ones teaching the youngest among them things that they can’t speak about in front of their mistress.
"So you’re saying that there’s something between that target from the second floor and the mistress?" with eyes glowing in entertained curiosity as she heard of this for the first time, the youngest among the five, Lyra, asked once again, her voice slightly louder than the volume she expected it to come out, making the other four move quickly to cover her mouth.
"Shhh!!! We’re still close the Mistress’ room, what the hell are we supposed to do if she were to hear about this!?" still concerned that anyone heard of Lyra’s words, the leader of the group said with a hint of nagging in her tone, prompting the youngest to nod at her as they all let go of her mouth.
"But still, what the hell?? Why would the mistress even take interest in someone who took a decade to ascend to the second floor, he’s practically of the same generation of ascender as the Mistress, but his achievement is extremely lacking in comparison!"
While they walk down the hallway leading to the outside of the Palace of Eternity, Lyra asks in confusion, causing the other four to shake their head as one among them starts explaining, asking about something that might just lead this young lady to understand everything by herself.
"Lyra, you already said it yourself, he’s the same generation of ascender as the Mistress, now think about it, other than the leaders of the five other great legia, who else is worth so much that the Mistress would send our group, who only follows orders directly from her, to look for and observe this person?"
