Chapter 637: Private Talk
Third Person’s POV"Yes, Your Majesty."
Elis respectfully bowed before quietly walking toward Ethan.
Without another word, the two of them left the study together, and the heavy wooden doors slowly closed behind them.
For several moments, no one inside the room spoke.
Only after Ethan’s footsteps had completely faded into the distance did Shixea shift her attention toward Aria.
"Niece Aria, why don’t you stay in the royal palace tonight?
I am sure you also require proper rest before tomorrow’s expedition."
Aria understood immediately that this was a polite dismissal.
Holding the blue spear tightly in both hands, she stood from her seat before forcing a faint smile onto her face.
"Thank you, Aunt."
She politely bowed before quietly leaving the study as well.
Even after stepping outside, however, her thoughts refused to calm down.
The mysterious violet-haired young man occupied her mind completely.
His indifferent attitude, his mysterious background, the priceless Bone Demon thorns he threw so casually.
And finally, the unexpected gesture of handing her the spear she had admired without asking for anything in return.
Everything about Ethan seemed contradictory, making him even more difficult to understand than before.
The moment the study doors closed once again, only Shixea and Erius remained inside the spacious chamber.
Neither of them spoke immediately.
Instead, Shixea calmly reached toward the elegant white fox ornament resting upon the table beside her and lightly tapped its head with one finger.
A soft blue pulse immediately spread outward from the decorative artifact.
Within moments, it enveloped the entire study.
As the wave of mana passed across the room, intricate runic patterns gradually emerged across the walls, ceiling, pillars, and even the floor before connecting together into a complete magical formation.
The surrounding mana instantly became isolated from the outside world.
Not only sound, but even aura fluctuations and soul perception were completely sealed within the room.
Recognizing the formation immediately, Erius understood that his mother intended for the following conversation to remain known only to the two of them.
The moment he realized that no one else could hear them anymore, the frustration he had suppressed throughout the entire meeting finally erupted.
