Chapter 262: #I Became a Genius Apocalypse Academy Pilot
A gust of wind blew, traveling across the world. It climbed snow-capped mountains, over the humans working hard on the fields, smiling joyfully over the abundant harvests. Then, the wind raced toward the vast ocean—free and strong, beyond even the great eagle that ruled the skies.
Finally, the wind arrived at the splendid palace of the Eunju Empire, gently pushing through the window to the emperor’s office, which was left ajar. The owner was a young woman who seemed to be in her mid-twenties.
The wind was in awe. She was much more beautiful than any landscape or jewel that it had ever seen in its entire journey. Aside from her beauty, she also had a mysterious allure that it wouldn’t trade for anything else in this world. The wind felt proud of itself for discovering such treasure, one of the greatest in the world—perhaps in the whole universe.
However, seeing her asleep, slumped over the table, felt out of place. Her slightly thin nightgown made it worry that she’d catch a cold.
Tsk, tsk, how could a grown maiden be so careless?
The wind ruffled her hair.
Shaa—
Her delicate eyelids fluttered open, revealing pupils more lustrous than black pearls. She was Zhu Alin, emperor of the Eunju Empire.
She sighed softly as she looked at her desk, cluttered with documents. She’d fallen asleep without realizing it. She’d probably overexerted herself. Still, for the sake of the people and the world, she had to work harder. After all, this was the only thing she could do to repay him for raising her...
Zhu Alin’s eyes widened momentarily. Her parents had passed away when she was still an infant, and the only person who took care of her was her nanny, who’d unfortunately passed as well.
Strange, somehow... I feel like there was someone else important to me besides my nanny...
