Chapter 814 The Elven Queen of Aria

Teleporting out of Shanghai, Shiro landed softly against the ground as the three appeared behind her.

"Right then, what do you want to know first?" Isilia asked with a smile while sitting down on a boulder by the side.

"How did Li Jian come to know you?" Shiro asked while sitting next to her and leaned on her shoulder like old times.

"Well you see, after I passed away for a second time, I woke up in my old body which was heavily damaged. It was barely healed and I was on the verge of death. I didn't know how many years had passed but things looked different and Li Jian was around the area at the time. He saved me and brought me back to the sect where I was healed and as repayment, I decided to help him out with some of his tasks and look after the library. I also continued my study on different worlds, dungeons and things related to the system. During this, I managed to make a breakthrough and became the elven queen of Aria. Usually, this would be impossible since I'm technically 'not a part of Aria' anymore but thanks to my research I managed to achieve it." Isilia replied.

"How did you even wake up in your old body?" Shiro raised her eyebrow since even she had been born in a new body rather than retain her old one.

"Well… It was thanks to my research with different worlds. I don't know if you have come in contact with it yet or not but I had succeeded in making a pseudo dungeon of sorts of our own world using the system's rules. Naturally, I also succeeded in finding the moment where I died but that time was isolated so no matter what I did to it, what happened could not be changed. But since I found my time of death, I was able to use my 'old vessel' I suppose for a lack of a better word. Though this is just the surface understanding." Isilia replied as Shiro furrowed her brows.

"Mn… I see... My next question is why did you force me to kill you back then?" Shiro glanced up with teary eyes as Isilia felt her heart soften.

"It was the only way for us to survive that situation. Plus, with our understanding of Aekari, do you really think he'll come help us in time?" Isilia sighed as Shiro shook her head.

"But it's fine though, aren't we both here now?" Isilia chuckled as Shiro nodded her head.

"What about your husband though. Didn't you go look for him? If you did, Lyrica might not have been bullied in the royal family." Shiro asked curiously.

"Well… I did try to look for him but unfortunately, he had already passed on and I wasn't able to recover him like what I did for myself. As for Lyrica, I decided to let her go since she would eventually meet you." Isilia smiled.

"Eh? How would you know?" Shiro blinked in surprise.

"Because prophets are rather accurate in this world. The best path would be to let mature on her own and run into you eventually where she would grow faster than anyone else." Isilia sighed. She would have loved to go spend time with Lyrica but doing so would have resulted in a different future. One that could be rather grim in nature. Plus, she had already 'died' so it made things easier in a way.

"You should definitely go see her. If she found out that her mother was alive she'll be overjoyed." Shiro sighed.

"Mn, but don't you think she'll blame me?" Isilia asked as Shiro shrugged.

"I don't know but it's better to let her know about your survival." Shiro replied as Isilia nodded her head.

"Does she know that you're my friend?" Isilia asked.

"Mn I have. I'm kind of her aunt right now." Shiro laughed.

"Rather strange isn't it? Considering your body is younger than her by quite a bit." Isilia smiled.

/p>

"Speaking of which, your daughter seemed to be in love with me." Shiro said with a slightly forced smile as Isilia raised her eyebrow.

"You're serious?"

"Do I joke about these things?" Shiro asked as Isilia leaned back slightly.

"Mn that is rather strange isn't it. Since she's in love with a granny." Isilia grinned.

"Oi! What the hell do you mean by granny!" Shiro pinched Isilia's cheeks as she only laughed.

"Well for someone who's around 300 years old, I definitely wouldn't' call you someone young!" Isilia hoped away as Shiro's face blushed with embarrassment at the mention of her age.

{Wait you're 300 years old?} Nimue raised her eyebrow.

'Shut it!' Shiro gritted her teeth as Atesh hugged Shiro's leg.

{Mommy is young. Don't listen to rude aunty.} Atesh said as Nimue felt her heart crack.

'Pft, rude aunty.' Shiro glanced at Nimue with a smug grin.

Picking up Atesh, she brought him out to the real world.

"Oh right, this is my son." Shiro called out as Isilia paused in her footsteps.

"Pft! You have a son????" Isilia looked at Shiro in disbelief since Shiro having romantic relationsh.i.p.s seemed rather impossible to her.

"Adoptive son I guess but in one way I technically did give birth to him since he was born from my flames." Shiro replied as she waved her hand and life fire burst out of her palm.

Doing the same motion, Attie also summoned some life fire but his flames were more of a golden red rather than green.

Seeing that Attie copied Shiro's actions, Isilia couldn't help but laugh and pat Attie's head.

"Call me beautiful aunty." Isilia said as Attie nodded his head.

"Beautiful aunty." Attie called out in a rather small voice as Isilia stroked Attie's hair while Nimue took another blow to her heart. She was called rude aunty while Isilia was called beautiful aunty despite having met for the first time.

"Awwww so cute. You're so much more cuter than your mum." Isilia chuckled as Shiro rolled her eyes.

"Oh please I'm adorable." Shiro rolled her eyes.

"So what do you think about my daughter then? Since she's in love with you, have you responded to her feelings yet?" Isilia asked as Shiro sighed.

"I haven't. I know that she loves me but I just don't feel the same way about her hais. Maybe I should tell her once we meet up again with the rest of the party." Shiro replied.

"Mn, letting it carry on with false hope is worse than rejecting outright." Isilia chuckled as Shiro nodded her head.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Isilia asked as she held Attie for a short while.

"Hmm…. I think that's about it. Though I'm also curious about your role as queen. Have you set up an anchor yet?" Shiro asked as Isilia nodded her head.

"I have one anchor near the sect but the domain is rather small since I'm not a 'proper' queen I guess." Isilia shrugged.

"I see… Oh right, Isilia, can you form a subservient contract with me? For the new age-"

"I know. The things that other queens know is a lie. Only one winner is allowed for the world to continue and that's you isn't it." Isilia smiled as a tier 8 magic circle expanded under them.

"Under the authority of the system, I bind myself to Shiro under a subservient contract." Isilia smiled since her research of the system has given her quite a bit of insight as to what would happen to the world.

And she must say, it's a rather cruel joke to lie to the other queens since they wanted to save their own world. But as their world has already failed, it's too late for them and the only way to survival is through Shiro.

Seeing the golden magic circle expand beneath them, Shiro looked at Isilia with surprise.

"Do you want to give the world a big surprise like old times?" Isilia asked as Shiro grinned.

"Of course. Aria already had its fill. It's time for this world to have its fill too."

Glancing at her system interface, Shiro selected yes as an illusionary tether seemed to form between them.

As the magic circle disappeared, Shiro could feel a faint connection between them as it would tell her if Isilia is in danger or not.

"I don't know how this tether works but if you bed someone and I can sense it, maybe we should find a way to block it out at times when needed." Isilia whispered over as Shiro blushed with embarrassment.

Ignoring what she had just said, the five of them, including Attie, made their way back to the sect for now.
