CHAPTER 60

Matthew looked gloomily at the la.s.s, as he could see that she hadn’t heard him.

How can I keep an eye on her if she teleports!? Oh…That’s right!

While I wasn’t watching, Matthew let his spiritual essence go inside me.

Even if he couldn’t track her, he still felt better doing this. It just wasn’t…Enough…

Matthew’s meditation wasn’t like mine as he focused, his spiritual essence would just appear inside me. It wasn’t a teleport, it would more likely seem to me like a magnet. Once he used his cultivation base, my emotions made his spiritual essence cling to them, and when he stopped using his cultivation base, his essence would also disappear, taking back all the information that it had obtained. After I had teleported from my bed, in the Rolland Estate, Matthew had stopped using his cultivation base, but his essence had not returned, that was why he had been so surprised.

“…Are we leaving then? We can talk on the way.”

“…Why are both of them ill?” I asked, again not hearing his words. I had a last look around, to see that nothing else needed to be ‘packed’.

Matthew couldn’t help but let out another sigh, “I believe that was the Right Minister’s first son’s idea…I don’t have any evidence though.”

I narrowed my eyes.

He finally did something!

Remembering my uncle, or eldest brother, back all those years ago and till the day I left, I was certain that he had been waiting until the perfect moment to…

My red sinister eyes lit up with a light glow, as my emotions ran rapid over me. I could feel it, my coldness flowing forward, my heart was starting to close up.

“He…Has taken Rolland Estate!?” I asked, even though I was sure of the answer.

With Talon and the Right Minister ill…

“Mmm. I suspect he would prefer to kill those against him. But if the Right Minister dies, the whole estate has to mourn. That gives me the idea that he has another plan that he’s going to execute very soon!”

Dammit!

Matthew took her into his arms and he jumped off the mountain!

“Ahh!” I was shocked. I couldn’t belief that in the middle of…Getting mad…That I’d be falling down in the next second. “Are you nuts?”

Matthew frowned, to her words, but couldn’t help but smile when he looked back at her, “I may not be able to fly, but I can glide.”

“Glide?”

As wind rushed pa.s.sed us, it was a lot harder to talk to one another, so I took this moment to look around instead.

It really was so nice!

The view from the top of the mountain had been brilliant, but gliding down like this was something I wasn’t used to.

I looked down towards the beasts and the trees. The water holes and the smaller mountains. They were slowly all getting bigger and bigger.

It sort of reminded me of a loading screen…That when it finishes loading, I’d be at the bottom…

…Then I called myself a nerd.

Matthew saw that the la.s.s was being docile, which made him happy, as he held her tighter. She looked so beautiful, as her hair roamed freely around her face and behind her and her eyes seemed to be glowing even brighter now…

When he had last seen her, she had still been but a child…

Now! She was so brilliantly beautiful, he had once pondered to leave her here and not bring her back! The problem of leaving her here was, it wasn’t really safe. It was already so surprising that she had lasted so long here! If a divine beast had come, she wouldn’t be here, in his arms and living! Her beautiful body would be in pieces…

Luckily, Matthew breathed in hopelessly, she was safe!

Her skin and hair, besides her eyes, were the next most glamourous parts of her body. Her hair was silky and smooth, as though it’s been thoroughly treated by some kind of great care, that only royalty may get to use! Her skin…It was so soft and smooth that he could hardly believe it. Only very young children had this kind of skin! Yet, she had this kind of skin, being a young lady now, and it had no blemishes whatsoever.

With her like this!

Matthew had a small moment of panic…What is going to happen when other men see her!
