She's back

"Rise." Mikael command.

Butler Sinoda did not hesitate to stand up and followed his young master. Right now, how his young master moved and his attitude was completely different from what he had known of.

His young master was like someone who's higher than his father Emperor and he cannot gauge how deep is his majesty's strength as of this moment, it was so deep like an abyss. He was like a supreme deity, not anyone can reach, not anyone can fathom.

Leader Ming was being silent at the side, on how terrifying this young man in front of her is, she knew that this young man can't be trifled with. Don't belittle his low cultivation right now. With decisiveness and how powerful this man is when he erred, she can't imagine what that person will be when this young man makes his move.

She guided Mikael to the center part of the big hall and let him sit at the center of the table. Though that chair was supposed to be sat by Grandmaster Aria but him as the most important person of her Lord Empress, he has the right to sit down there.

Butler Sinoda only stood up at the side, far from the center table while Leader Ming was busy brewing tea and filling up Lord Kael's tea cup. Butler Sinoda tried to help Leader Ming to do it but Leader Ming declined so he helplessly stood at the side.

While Mikael was sipping his tea, a voice suddenly rang in the hall.

"I never thought that this time around you will reincarnate as a Prince in a small kingdom in Lowerland." The voice was satirical.

"And I never thought that you will build your own sect, I thought you said that you wanted to settle down on your own and be solitary until the end of your lifespan?" Mikael jeered.

A middle aged woman with still beautiful face and enchanting demeanor arrived within the hall. She's wearing white dress and her brown clear eyes have a look of disdain on it as she was looking at Mikael.

Don't underestimate her with her still young looks, she was one of the powerhouses in Highland at her prime. And though she looks young she's already more than a thousand years old.

"Hmmp. If someone did not cause my beloved Layla to be on her demise, I would be happily content spending my time on solitude. I was only in closed cultivation for a long period of time but after my seclusion I will find out that because of you she's gone?

I never liked you in the first place you stinking brat! But don't know what you fed on her that she was so in love with you, not only her but also that witch Naji!"

Mikael put down his tea and glanced at Grand Master Aria.

"Still has a sharp mouth eh? It's been a thousand years but still you're not recovered with your injuries yet. Even your power has not recovered to its peak state.

You were so strong back then but even you were not able to kill Naji."

Grand Master Aria snorted as she sat down beside Mikael, Leader Ming hurriedly served her tea. Butler Sinoda was already sweating behind his back. With the tension these two guys releasing, it's a miracle that he was still standing. Leader Ming just smiled as she knew how much pressure Butler Sinoda was experiencing right now. If she did not put a protective barrier on him, that poor guy was already dead just with the aura of these two monsters.

"If not for that old monster that Naji released from his seal, it's easy for me to kill that wretch. As I was wreaking havoc to avenge Layla's death, that old monster protected her and was able to injure me with his blow.

Good thing I was able to escape together with Little Ming and the rest. If not, we would not be living up until today and followed Layla's will faraway from Highland.

With the decline of our strength, we were able to descend on Lowerland and hide with this protective dimension Layla created before she left."

Mikael nodded, he already knew their plight when he accidentally met one of Layla's loyalists long ago. And that person provided him a lot of information about this place and where his sword was located. But since he did not reach the requirement yet to get his sword, he devoted himself to increasing his strength.

And luck arrived when he also met Layla and consumed the fruit that's why he was now able to come into this place.

"You have to be more careful. Not until Layla comes back and retrieves her sealed power here, we have to be extra careful that Naji will not be able to know this dimension. Naji already had someone infiltrate Lowerland and I was able to have information about her. I'm not sure if she knows my real identity yet but before I was born she already had someone of her lackeys casted a curse on me."

"I'm already aware about your situation, a cursed Prince that cannot live beyond 30. What a tragedy you've fallen. Rest assured that only trusted personnel and us can come into this place. We've only come this time to visit the young empress and also to let my strongest disciples know about her existence as the founder.

My sect was created for more than hundreds of years and this time, I only selected a few of those loyal core disciples to serve as a guard and also to train them.

Besides, aside from the broken arch you've come from, also aside from my sect and the other loyalist group, the other one who's protecting this dimension was Amith's body that was hidden beneath the icy mountain on Southern border region." Grand Master Aria sighed.

"That young lad, the most loyal and trusted aide of Layla. I hope he and Layla can come back as soon as possible." she lamented.

Also Leader Ming was sad about what happened to Amith, he was the strongest of their group, just beneath their Lord Empress. He was the one whom their Lord Empress trusted the most and he was her first disciple.

Just as Grand Master Aria and Leader Ming were being sad, a voice sounded.

"She is already back."

Mikael said coolly.
