Chapter 441 - Hit And Run

Elizabeth, Heinrich, and Aria turned towards a certain direction in the sky and saw two figures descend from high up in the sky suppression zone.

It did not take long for them to furrow their brows.

It could be immediately understood that these two unexpected guests were extraordinary in both cultivation and background.

After Young Master Judas landed, he simply walked past Elizabeth and Heinrich. They did not enter his eyes as he had his gaze fixated on Aria.

"May I have the honor of learning your name, milady?" Young Master Judas requested, performing a gentlemen bow while reaching out to her hands for a kiss.

However, Aria avoided Young Master Judas' hand and retreated to Elizabeth's side while giving him a cautious look.

"Who are you?" She asked with a frown.

She was evidently displeased that a stranger she was meeting for the first time had tried to touch her.

"My apologies. It was rude of me to act so forwardly, although we just met." Young Master Judas retreated a few steps and introduced, "My name is Judas of the Cortez family. Baron Beau Cortez is my father."

Heinrich and Elizabeth furrowed their brows, obviously never heard of the name Baron beau Cortez, nor the Cortez family.

These two Transcendents were not from their kingdom. However, that did not matter presently. What was important was these two people came uninvited and trespassed on palace ground.

What did they take this place to be? Their backyard?

"We have never heard of the Cortez family, nor the name of your father, Baron Beau Cortez. But regardless of your status and background, it does not give you the right to be here. I suggest we move to the Outer Palace's Great Hall." Heinrich said.

Young Master Judas' good mood dropped at once, hearing someone else was speaking to him while he was awaiting a reply from the name of the beauty in front of him.

"I was not talking to you, insect. Hmph!"

Young Master Judas narrowed his eyes dangerously at Heinrich, who was not even a Transcendent and covered in dirt.

Naturally, Heinrich and Elizabeth had been toiling away at the railway construction for a whole day and had yet to wash after returning.

Without warning, Judas Cortez sent out a water wave and struck the unprepared Heinrich, sending him flying back.

"Heinrich!"

"Father-in-law!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Young Master Judas!"

Numerous people cried out at once.

Aria flashed Young Master Judas a dangerous look before she rushed over with Elizabeth to check on Heinrich's condition.

The King was struck on the shoulder, and a terrible gash could be seen while blooding was pouring out from them. Anger immediately seeped out from Elizabeth's heart.

At the same time, Elder Gustavo appeared by Young Master Judas' side and chided, "I warned you not to cause trouble, Young Master Judas!"

"I apologize for the transgression my Young Master has caused. Please accept this as compensation." Elder Gustavo said to the trio.

A leather bag of unknown contents appeared out of nowhere from Elder Gustavo's ring hand before tossing it over.

Shortly after, Elder Gustavo quickly grabbed Young Master Judas and flew into the sky, fleeing from the palace.

The palace guards rushed over, but they were helpless to stop the two from leaving.

"Hold it right there!" Elizabeth roared furiously, shooting to her feet before taking off in pursuit. "Do you think you can just come and leave as you please after you what you just did?! Where do you think this is?! Who do you think we are?!"

At the same time, Aria used her Ice-Lightning power to seal the gashing wound on Heinrich's should before gazing into the sky with a worrisome expression.

If she knew how to fly, she would have followed Leon's mother and definitely not leave her to chase after two Transcendents on her own.

"Thank you, Aria," Heinrich said with knitted brows, enduring pain in his shoulder as he gazed in the direction his wife left.

Aria shook her head and said, "It is what I should do."

Meanwhile, Elizabeth continued to pursue the two escaping Transcendents.

"Come back here!" Elizabeth roared.

However, she was surprisingly unable to catch up to the two Transcendents!

They flew straight into the sky suppression zone and beyond, but their speed did not decrease!

On the other hand, her speed began to plummet drastically due to the increasing gravitation force weighing down on her, the higher she flew!

It was like the suppressive force in the sky had no effect on these two unknown Transcendents!

In mere moments, Elizabeth lost their trail. She was forced to return empty-handed while the two Transcendent succeeded in their escape.

"Dammit!" Elizbeth cursed in frustration.

Some distance away, Young Master Judas struggled in Elder Gustavo's grasp and said, "Do we need to flee like cowards, Elder Gustavo? I can't believe you compensated them with your Interspatial Bag for just a small wound! What did you have in it?"

"What else but everything I owned?!"

Judas Cortez widened his eyes and said, "How could you give them everything?! That making such a big deal out of a small matter! That person was just an insect!"

"An insect?! Are you f*cking kidding me, Young Master Judas?! Do you seriously believe that or are you just playing dumb with me?! Do you think anyone can enter the palace? Did you not hear what those palace guards call that person?! Hmph! I knew I shouldn't have brought you along! Wait until your father heard about this! See if you will still cause trouble then!" Elder Gustavo scolded.

Judas Cortez was immediately startled.

It was the first time he had seen Elder Gustavo so furious with him. Even when he pulled his beard and lit Elder Gustavo's rear on fire through some of his pranks and stunts, the elder was never this furious with him.

He took a moment to recall before he exclaimed, "That person was the king?! How could the ruler of a kingdom be so weak and dirty?!"

"This is not the Geyser Kingdom, Young Master Judas! You do not know the history of this kingdom, so why can't a person with low cultivation like that be the king? As for why he was covered in dirt, that is his business! You have caused by trouble this time, Young Master Judas! Let us hope the Overseer doesn't come after us for this!" Elder Gustavo said.

Judas Cortez's lips twitched, and he could not help but blame his impulse. Even so, he felt it was a pity that he had left so soon. He did not catch enough glimpse of the new Transcendent.

Her beauty had him captivated.

Back at the Royal Palace.

"Did you get them, Mother?" Aria quickly asked after seeing Elizabeth returned so soon.

Elizabeth shook her head with disappointment before frowning shortly after and said, "They have some strange ability to ignore the suppression of the sky. I was unable to catch up to them."

Aria was taken aback.

There was something that can help people ignore the suppression of the sky? Why has she not heard about something like this? It seems they were not people from around here…

Aria's brow slowly creased before she asked, "Where do you think they came from, Mother?"

"Probably from the far eastern Geyser Kingdom," Elizabeth said with a frown.

"However, the Geyser Kingdom is far stronger than I have imagined. To think that a Baron family from the Geyser Kingdom would have two Transcendents. The Cortez family is more likely to have more Transcendents than just those two, though."

Heinrich smiled wryly and said, "I cannot imagine how many more Transcendents are hiding within the Geyser Kingdom. I have yet to see it, but I heard a tall earthen wall sealed the Geyser Kingdom off from the rest of the Human Domain."

"That's right." Elizabeth nodded before asking, "How are you feeling?"

"Not bad, but not good either."

Elizabeth gazed at Heinrich's wound that had been sealed through scalding and freezing. It was not exactly a good emergency treatment method, but it was better than nothing.

"We should get your wound properly treated right away." She suggested.

Heinrich gazed at the leather bag on the ground in the distance and said, "Before that, we should take a look at what they left behind for us. Who knows, maybe there will be something good inside."

"I almost forgot about that," Elizabeth said with surprise.

Shortly after, Elizabeth went over to pick up the leather bag and had a glance inside. The contents within the leather bag immediately left her stunned.

"What's inside, my Queen?" Heinrich asked, feeling curious.

Aria also showed a curious look.

"There's a lot of Transcendent Crystals inside along with a few strange items I have never seen before…"

"A lot of Transcendent Crystals? How much can one small bag hold? Unless…"

"It's an Interspatial Storage item."

"Quite generous. I can feel the sincerity in the elder's compensation. It seems he really didn't mean to cause trouble. However, that young man was…" Elizabeth narrowed her eyes coldly.

Heinrich nodded and said, "Quite outrageous. Just another spoiled young master, huh?"

Around this time, the active Teleportation Array within Lost Isle Alley suddenly brightened and opened the spatial rift at its center, causing the nearby sentries guarding the area to be surprised.

They immediately drew their weapons in alarm and faced the Teleportation Array with vigilance, not knowing what might be coming out from the spatial rift.

Sometime later, two figures were seen coming out from the spatial rift and slowly descended to the ground below the hovering Teleportation Array within the center of Lost Isle Alley.

Leon glanced around at all swords pointed at him with surprise and said, "Well, this is quite the welcoming. I've only been gone for some days, and you've all forgotten who I am already?"

"Huh?"

The group of elite palace guards was taken aback by Leon's familiar tone, but they could not see his face under the night of the dark sky.

Leon pushed back the Lion-headed cloak, and his face was revealed under the soft cascading moonlight that shone down after the dark clouds cleared.

"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
