Chapter 152 - Departure
Chapter 152 – Departure
Seth had vanished mysteriously and the only people who knew about it, were the Elf Queen, Rina and the girls from the Glazed Lake Sect. However, only the Elf Queen knew what he was currently doing.
Since she was occupied, telling everyone the details of what have happened, no one would be able to link the massacre that was happening on the Luberus Family mansion right now, to her. Like that, she would be able to maintain her image and the future safety of everyone.
After some time, Seth silently reappeared in the half destroyed Central Stadium and Arwen noticed his presence. He nodded towards her and she knew that everything was done.
"Ivasir! Bring the new unit under your command to arrest everyone from the Luberus Family. We must investigate how deep was their influence on everything that happened." She ordered it, making sure they would notice what happened there while she was still here.
"Understood, My Queen." Ivasir left to complete his job while the other influent people did the same. There was a lot to be done and no one could afford to waste time now.
Arwen went towards the Eleventh Palace Master while saying: "This Queen is deeply ashamed of what happened in the Wild Games… You and your disciples were in grave danger and it is partially my fault. However, I can't even compensate you, since the Secret Garden was destroyed, even though your party took the first place in the event."
"You don't need to feel ashamed. We actually don't need anything. I brought the girls here in order to make them get experience in a real fight against beasts. I just didn't expect that things would take turn for the worse."
"Sigh… No one would have expected it. If not for Seth, even my daughter would have suffered a bitter fate."
The Eleventh Palace Master stood silent while remembering how Seth easily dispelled the poison from inside her body.
Caizhi was chatting with Seth while Arwen was apologizing to Yushui.
"Sigh… Are you really departing already?"
"Yes. Palace Master Yushui needs to report back to the Sect and I need to continued my training under Master tutelage as well."
"Sigh… I wanted to spend at least another day by your side." Seth sighed dispirited.
"I wanted it too, however, we can't. But I know that you will come visit me later, right?"
"Heh! Do you think I would let that chance slip away?"
"Hah! I was naïve… Of course, you would come, since it is a female only sect. A heaven for someone like you, right?"
'Oh my god! Even Caizhi now? It must have been Lilian's influence.' Seth made a funny expression of shock, while thinking about Lilian's influence on Caizhi's life.
"I'm kidding." Caizhi giggled after seeing his face.
"Hahaha… You got me there. You must know that when I go to visit you there, I won't let you escape any longer…"
Caizhi smiled after hearing his words.
"Uhum. I'll be waiting."
Seth advanced forward and embraced her. His lips sealing hers in a passionate kiss.
"Holy Shit!" Jiayi started to scream after witnessing their intimacy. She had a very excited expression and seemed to enjoying the show.
Ruolan and Xiurong were amazed by their courage. Their cheeks got a bit red with embarrassment, but none of them took their eyes off of that scene. They seemed to be studying it for later.
However, Rina, she resembled a tomato. Her entire white as snow skin had a red glow on it. Her cheeks were blushing and her face was hot. Inwardly though, she was feeling envy. Something she hasn't felt before.
She couldn't explain it. At the same time that she wanted Caizhi and Seth to be happy and together, she wasn't feeling too well witnessing them kissing.
'What am I currently feeling? I'm just his friend… Just his friend…'
Seth and Caizhi took their time while enjoying each other until they felt satisfied. After they separated from each other, Seth put a spatial ring on Caizhi's delicate hand.
"Just a small parting gift."
Caizhi didn't even look what was inside, she just accepted it and left, joining with the girls from her sect.
Seth waved towards the girls and then went to where Rina was. The ring he gave Caizhi, contained a bit of the huge wealth he acquired from the Luberus family. He got so many things, that he didn't even have enough time to check everything he acquired.
Seth looked at Rina and saw her downcast expression.
"Why are you feeling so down?"
"Eh… I'm alright."
"Come on… There is no need to be reserved with me."
"I'm really alright. It's just that so many things happened that I think I need to rest for a bit."
Seth noticed that she was acting strange, but it was nothing too much outside of the normal.
"Rest? Where are you and Arwen going to stay tonight?"
"Hm? Where? In the castle I think…"
"Ahahaha… I'm sorry to say it, but there isn't a castle anymore."
"???"
"It was destroyed, just like the other parts of the city."
Suddenly, another voice answered Seth's question.
"We are going to stay at the Allakiir mansion tonight." Arwen came walking together with Elyra.
Elyra had offered her to stay at her family mansion. Impressively, the mansion wasn't destroyed by one of Allannia's orbs and was now, one of the few places inside the city that were still intact.
"Allakiir mansion?" Rina asked kind of excited. It would be the first time she would be visiting someone. The sad part of this, was that a whole city needed to be destroyed, for her to be able to spend the night in another place that wasn't the castle. Of course, not counting the times she fled from her home.
"Yes. I'm staying there as well." Seth commented.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Since I arrived here at the Ereinrith city, the Allakiir family welcomed me in their home. Actually, I guess it wasn't for free though, since I had to work my ass off under Elyra's command. At least I was able to become her boyfriend."
"Eh?!!!" Rina got shocked. She was still rejoicing that Caizhi had to leave and she would be able to have some time alone with Seth. However, just as Caizhi left, another woman appeared already. It didn't mean that she didn't like Caizhi of Elyra, it's just that she felt they were stealing Seth away from her. It was something she didn't like feeling, but she didn't know how to control it, or how to accept it.
Elyra looked at Seth as if trying to pierce him with her gaze. She has never been so embarrassed in her entire life. Seth was telling he was her boyfriend right before the Elf Queen and she couldn't even tell otherwise.
"Oh? Is that real?" Arwen asked in a curious voice.
Elyra didn't know where to hide now. She could only weakly reply.
"It's real…"
Rina started to feel like she didn't want to visit the Allakiir house anymore.

Elyra brought everyone to their own guest houses and left to her own room. After escorting the Elf Queen till her guest house, she noticed that there wasn't a heavy pressure affecting her as it usually happened. It was like her poisonous aura had vanished.
Since Elyra didn't know the complete story, she could only try to guess what have happened. However, she made sure to keep her guesses to herself.
It was already late at night, when Seth decided to check the things he have gotten from the Luberus family treasury. There were many weapons with low-grade spirits, and many more without any spirit, but they were all crossbow, longbows and short bows.
Seth found some Spirit Enhancement Stones and other materials that would help Lexi out on her cultivation. Mountains of blue Skystones and more than a hundred red Skystones. He was surprised to find a purple Skystone there too.
There were many other things he didn't know what they served for, but none of them were emitting any powerful fluctuations, so he knew they were probably materials or something similar. However, there were many poisonous herbs and artifacts that Elyon used to conduct his experiments in the middle of those things.
After searching deeper, he was able to find the skillstones that contained all techniques the Luberus family possessed.
"Maybe I could try learning these skills, it might be useful later somehow."
"You're right. Knowledge and techniques are never enough…"
Seth turned around after hearing a beautiful female voice. He was surprised to see the Elf Queen standing behind him. She entered his room without him realizing anything.
"Arwen… can I help you with anything?"
"I have been thinking that I wasn't able to thank you for everything you've done for me and my kingdom until now."
"Sigh… Between you and me, there is no need for those words."
"I guess so. But even though there are no need for those words, I should at least thank you somehow." She stepped forwards and pushed Seth towards his bed.
Everything happened so sudden, that he was caught unprepared. However, he was a person that adapted to every situation very quickly.
Seth pulled her towards his embrace and started to kiss her collarbone, her neck, going up until he reached her lips. Arwen quickly reciprocated his kisses, while at the same time taking his shirt off.
Seth didn't think he would be spending another night with her so soon.. However, the heat inside his body was even greater now than the first time they did it.
