Even though she was hiding in a safe area in the shade, Claire could clearly see the sun flashing across the sky.
That was actually a psychic explosion - although the power should have been suppressed by Karin and Zhuying, even so, the terrifying power that shook the earth was enough to strike fear into the hearts of humans.
"Sister Karin... nothing will happen, right?"
"Please calm down, your highness. They should be fine."
Because he had established a special connection with the two of them a long time ago, Xia Ye always appeared quite calm.
Karin and Zhuying had no problems and were heading back here - even though Aarons was far away, she could sense the other party's life through the contract.
So she wasn't worried about any problems on Aarons' side.
"Well, but now that the psychic explosion has occurred, the Star Child should be awakening now, right?"
The infinite energy body that the Star-Seeking Brigade instigated Duke Booker to look for may have awakened because of this incident.
If that's the case, then that group of outsiders shouldn't need to attack the imperial capital anymore...but Claire didn't feel reassured.
At this moment, a red streak of light suddenly broke through the sky and rushed directly towards their direction like a meteorite.
——The one that descended rapidly from the sky was a giant wolf with a black body, white armor and red mane, carrying a petite maid.
"Report. Mission accomplished. Target has self-destructed at high altitude."
"Oh, do you still have to act good in front of others?"
"……Shut up."
When the majestic giant wolf with a red glow landed lightly near Klia and her group and uttered a familiar voice, everyone's tension finally eased.
That was Karin and Zhuying - but this was the first time anyone had seen Karin in this state.
"Sorry, sorry, this form is just too comfortable... I hope I didn't scare you guys?"
After dispelling all the spiritual power in its body, the giant wolf's body returned to Karin's original appearance.
However, everyone also discovered that although Karin's appearance was no different from before, her aura had obviously become more fierce and solid.
"Ms. Karin, have you... advanced again?"
"Well, it's just God's blessing."
After realizing that his original colleague had become stronger, Xia Ye rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance.
In order to protect Aarons, the people around him must be as strong as possible - but too much strength will also bring about another unnecessary problem.
...After all, Aarons doesn't have such strong physical fitness, so the pressure will be greater at night.
"Please allow me to ask you one more question. Can you fully control your power?"
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems... in every sense of the word."
This thoughtful colleague immediately understood Xia Ye's concerns and gave her a sly look.
Of course, only a pure-hearted mercenary leader would not understand such suggestive topics.
"Then, Your Highness, the biggest crisis has been resolved for the time being. What is your next plan?"
Klia brought people here specifically, of course not just to stop the man-made monsters from invading the imperial capital.
——The hidden enemy is still there, and the Star-Seeking Brigade that intends to blow up the imperial capital is still there.
"Let's go to the imperial capital... I have to see my father."
His own life experience, his enemy's thoughts... and the future direction of the empire.
Although Klia didn't have to bear all of this, she still hoped to get an answer.
-Get an answer that will allow her to stand up straight and stay with Aarons.
"Understood! Since the big boss has said so, let's get ready to go... Everyone, get ready!"
"Also, Captain Kulan, are your connections related to the Imperial Guards?"
"Well, that's true... I'm actually very familiar with the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. He also told me some of the things that happened in the Imperial Capital."
Kuran didn't say these things before because the situation was tense, but now the immediate crisis has been resolved and there is no need for him to continue hiding it.
"Your Highness, you must be mentally prepared first. They told me that the Emperor had a sudden illness not long ago and is probably dying."
“What—what did you say!?”
For Klia, such bad news was like a bolt from the blue.
But before her emotions started to get out of control, Xia Ye beside her took the initiative to reach out and hold her shoulders.
"Your Highness, please remain calm. Captain Kulan just said that although the Emperor is seriously ill, there is still some time."
"Phew... Sorry. Please prepare to leave as soon as possible. We must get to the imperial capital as quickly as possible."
At a time when the imperial capital could be detonated at any time, such a decision is actually very dangerous.
But in order to get the truth and gain some advantage in the subsequent battle, Klia must do this.
"When we're ready, we'll—"
However, just when Claire had just managed to adjust her mood and was about to go to the imperial capital with others, an indescribable strange feeling of oppression suddenly enveloped her.
It was as if someone had cut off her normal breathing, or as if her blood vessels were blocked by something... Under the astonished gaze of others, with a painful expression on her face, Cliya suddenly squatted down, holding her chest.
"Your Highness! What's wrong with you!?"
"I... my body feels..."
Feeling something was wrong, Xia Ye immediately came to Keliya's side, released a black silk thread from his fingers, and probed into the body of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Karin's nose twitched slightly, as if she smelled something, and she showed a somewhat confused expression.
"Little Spider, come here... this and that..."
While Xia Ye was examining Keliya, Karin quietly approached the cherry-haired maid and whispered in her ear.
"…Are you sure? I'll go up and scan it."
"Don't say anything when you come back, just tell me the result."
After nodding, Zhuying immediately flew into the sky, and Karin also walked to Xia Ye's side and observed Klia's reaction.
Her wolf eyes, sparkling with golden light, seemed to have seen through something.
"Miss Xia Ye, what's wrong with His Highness's health?"
"It's strange. There's nothing wrong with Her Highness's body...but the circulation of her spiritual energy has been interrupted in many places."
After absorbing excessive spiritual power and causing all her magic power and fighting spirit to disappear, spiritual power became the only power circulating in Klia's body.
Although this power was corroding her body, it had been operating quite stably until now—but now, for some reason, this power had problems.
"Leave the spiritual power matter to me. I should be able to help."
