Chapter 216: Movements of powerful people
A while later, Matt and Alice were sitting together. Or something like that.
Matt was lying on Alice's lap, telling her a bit about what he had learned and seen a few moments ago. At first, he thought she would know something, but when he realized she had no idea, he started telling her about the Path of Control. After all, it's never too late to begin training the right way.
And Alice didn't reject anything he said; she was pleased right now as she looked at Matt's face on her lap.
The two of them talked about various aspects of the book. To Matt's surprise, there were ways to train that Path of Control well. Although Alice didn't follow it because she thought it wasn't necessary, her father did.
So, he had researched those topics very well.
That would be very handy for Matt and Alice when they try to learn more soon.
'Does Gray Allen follow the Path of Control? Maybe that's why he didn't give me a sense of crisis when I had him in front of me, despite the fact that he's very powerful. To be able to control his power to such a limit... He seems to have made it all the way to the First Level and might even be at the second level.' Matt thought.
After that, the two of them talked about many bears while resting.
And the next day, both left for the Imperial City. The largest and most populated City in the empire. Now, they would not draw attention to themselves in any way; they had a different plan.
...
A man walked slowly in a long, well-decorated, and magnificent hallway. His shoes continuously rang throughout the hallway, creating a slight, elegant echo. He was elegantly dressed in a black suit.
On his left side, beautiful long windows, modern and elegant, were arranged side by side. Still, the protective blinds were down, so you couldn't see through to the other side.
Still, all this was decorated with precious stones; even the chandeliers at the top seemed to be made of the most beautiful and expensive precious stones.
To his right, there were only beautifully constructed walls with golden decorations.
After walking for an extended period, he crossed to the right and walked to the end of the corridor, where there was a door.
The beautiful building seemed to be a castle because of how it was built.
The man approached and knocked on the door slowly.
"Miss, I have news." His voice sounded neither loud nor soft—it was firm.
After saying this, he stood patiently waiting. The minutes began to pass, and after 25 minutes, he received an answer.
"You may come in." A beautiful voice came from the other side. The man opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind him.
He walked until he stood behind a beautiful woman who was standing in front of a mirror.
"It's not often you come. Looks like things involve the Grand Sorcerers this time." Said the woman in front of him.
This woman's reflection in the mirror was to be admired.
She was so beautiful that the whole world could grovel at her feet to serve her. The dignified and elegant aura that carried her every movement blended with her long yellow hair, which waved slightly with every movement, giving her an indescribable sense of beauty and elegance. In addition, her beautiful blue eyes further enhanced her beauty.
The man nodded to her gently.
"I guess you are aware of 2 Vampires who infiltrated; one of them is of great importance to the Allens, which made Gray Allen himself go crazy recently."
The woman nodded softly. "That's right, Alice Allen is the one who is missing. I saw her once a while ago. Did you find her?" She looked at him slightly after asking this, and the man shook his head.
"Recently, two of the Vampire Hunter's Guild Leaders, along with several Divine Knights, launched various attacks towards a huge amount of young couples in various cities; they sought to assassinate them at once. If that gets out and the Grand Sorcerers find out that they tried to kill those they want to investigate, there will be big trouble."
The woman, who was combing her hair in front of the mirror, frowned and stared at the man through the mirror. "Did they kill them?" she asked.
The man shook his head.
"I investigated all those couples, and although they believe they possibly managed to kill them, the reality is that no vampires died. I investigated them with my ability." He replied.
The woman nodded softly and relaxed her brow.
"Tsk, those bastards always cause me trouble." She grunted as she clenched what was in her hand. That little hair comb exploded, and she stopped grooming herself.
Then she got up and walked across the room.
"I understand your concerns, but don't worry. Right now, the Grand Sorcerers are very busy with that woman. Her talent is overwhelming, so much so that my master named her as the next Great Leader of the Human Race; they are too busy to find out." She said softly.
"Do you think the new Miss can take the position from you, Imperial Princess?"
The woman smiled teasingly.
"No, I'm not worried. That will only increase the competition a bit." She replied confidently.
The man behind her shook his head softly but said nothing more.
"Go to the Nevod Mountains and tell the Grand Sorcerers that they will soon receive their targets. Tell them that the Imperial Princess decided to move to find them to complete the deal." She said softly and opened the curtain in front of her a little.
Then, the rays of the morning sun came through there, relaxing her slightly.
The man behind her nodded and, without another word, left the room.
Meanwhile, the beautiful woman looked down at the Imperial City below her.
'I was given the title of Imperial Princess because I am able to be in any of the Three Alignments at the same time. To follow the Path of a Grand Sorcerer or that of a Hero, even a Divine Knight... How could you compare to me, Sorceress Charlotte?' A smile formed on her face after this, and she turned around, closing the curtains behind...
