Chapter 268
Celestial Realm
I was taken aback by the intense wariness and hostility woven into Miho’s words. It was unlike her to react this way. Moreover, the meaning behind her statement was something I couldn’t simply brush aside, so I questioned her.
“Did you really say ‘Lunar Sovereign’? Did the Queen Mother actually mention that?”
“… Yes, so get out now! I don’t want to be disturbed by a human like you.”
I could see beyond Miho’s hostility her underlying anxiety.
‘She’s under pressure…’
Miho had a remarkable talent for concealing her emotions. Naturally, she would reveal her feelings when she needed something from me or when she was in a good mood, but in every other instance, she manipulated her emotions to her advantage. If I could read her feelings, it was evident that she was in such a state of distress that she couldn’t control herself due to her obsession with obtaining the Lunar Sovereign.
She must have mentioned her mission to gain the Lunar Sovereign to send me away, as I was somewhat related to the Celestial Realm. After a moment’s thought, I responded to her.
“… Understood. My name is Baek-ung. If there’s good news, I’ll let you know.”
