Book 19: Chapter 15
“So, since we’ve all made this decision, there’s no turning back now. Prepare yourselves mentally!!”
After changing, the four sisters dragged the youngster to the window. Freya would come straight in if they stalled any longer. Hence, they didn’t have any time left to think. Since nobody raised their hand, it meant all of them wanted to go prove themselves. The four sisters forgot about protecting the youngster or saving his nation aeons ago. All they wanted to do was prove themselves to their parents. They were no longer children. They could do what their parents did. They could stay by their father’s side. It was an opportunity none of them wanted to pass up.
Vera was confident in her magic proficiency. While Liu Yue didn’t know what would transpire, she had faith in her power and fox lineage. Daisy was eager to put her sword to the test. She didn’t train so hard to protect herself but to protect her dad. She wanted to prove she wasn’t inferior to her mom. However, she couldn’t do so if she continued the way she did. She needed a battlefield. She needed a group of enemies. Nona didn’t have any agenda. She just wanted to follow her elder sister and take care of her younger sisters. She had faith in her sisters. She was sure her sisters could protect her even if the youngster couldn’t.
Liu Yue took in a deep breath, and then pushed the window open. Though they were at a high location in the Imperial Palace, the height was nothing for a Moon Fox Tribe member. She looked back at her sisters: “Once I go outside, jump down. Vera, make sure that everyone can grab my fur. We’lll leave our clones in the carriage headed to the station. Then, we’ll be able to go to the port to find Sister Ying. That’s all right, yeah?!”
“Ah, let’s go with that.”
The other three nodded, but the youngster had completely broken down. He stopped caring about the four sisters. A soft knock came from the door. Freya’s patience had run dry. There was still time to jump down. Freya would look for them afterwards, but it’d be too late by then. Their clones would be in the horse carriage. Freya couldn’t see through Vera’s magic, so the four could go straight to the port.
If Grandma Sylvanas or their Sister Irina was around, then that’d be perfect, since they could fly straight there. Unfortunately, the two were in a meeting with the dragons, therefore their absence. As such, the only one who could transform was Liu Yue, who acted as their vehicle. The biggest issue was that she couldn’t swim over from the North to their destination. They had to sneak onto Sister Ying and Sister Tanya’s ship. It wouldn’t matter even if they’re discovered on board for it would be too late by then.
Liu Yue made the suicidal leap. The wind whistled next to her ear. The panic due to the annoying wind and weightlessness made it literally impossible for her to open her eyes. Everything around her became a blurry collection of colours. She heard shrills from behind.
The huge red fox appeared in mid-air. The fox wasn’t a cat, but the mana it possessed enhanced its senses to match a cat. Liu Yue adjusted herself in mid-air. Her long red fur grew out. Upon seeing the appearance of the large fox, Vera shouted, “Decelerate!”
