Meanwhile, while Verena sat crossed-legged in meditation, refining the tempered ancestral blood she'd received from Yvonne, the latter s.h.i.+fted her eyes toward Calisto and Vylsea. By the time her eyes locked on them, the blood covering her had vanished, leaving behind her golden imperial robe.
"Greetings, your majesty."
The sisters hailed and dropped on their knees.
"No need to stand on ceremony. What's Konrad's situation."
Yvonne directly asked while releasing a wave of divine power that straightened the two's backs.
"At the time he ordered us to come to your aid, his majesty was about to depart to explore a peculiar zone. As of now, he should have long since dived into it, we have no idea of his current situation or whereabout."
They truthfully replied, causing Yvonne's face to twist into a frown.
"Who's standing by his side?"
"Originally, besides us, ten Quasi-Paramount Knights stood in his majesty's shadows. However, he transferred them to lady Zamira to handle some tasks. Now…only lady Else and lady Astarte remain by his majesty's side."
The answer caused Yvonne's frown to grow deeper. Seeing this, Calisto pursued.
"Your majesty shouldn't be worried. After all, this is nothing but the Barbarian Continent's secular world. Although the zone is quite mysterious, with his majesty's means, nothing major can occur.
Since he dares go, he must have some insurance. With the two ladies by his side, there shouldn't be anything they aren't able to confront."
It didn't take a genius to realize Yvonne worried about Konrad's safety. Therefore, Calisto attempted to placate her concerns.
"Never mind. With Else by his side, there, indeed, shouldn't be anything able to threaten him. However, there are times when strength alone cannot suppress tribulations. Hurry back to his side and provide all the support you can."
Yvonne replied and s.h.i.+fted her attention toward Verena whose cultivation was about to step into Divine Transformation while her physiques all approached the Mastered Stage.
"At once, your majesty!"
The two replied, and attempted to use the Harem Gate to rush back to Konrad's side. The golden gate descended before them, but as they stretched their hands toward it…it refused to open!
