Chapter Vol. 3 Ch. 174
“Oh? There’s something like this? Well, thank you then~”
The priestess didn’t hesitate to extend her hand, but Sethlin didn’t immediately hand over the item. She just smiled helplessly.
“It’s not ready yet. Maybe tomorrow. I’ll have Theresa bring it to you later. So, what brings you here this time? Just chatting or having tea?”
“If it’s not ready, why mention it... Well, I left a teleportation gate here before, remember? I’m planning to go somewhere later and then come back from this side. Just thought I’d give you a heads up to avoid misunderstandings.”
“I see.”
The green-eyed girl nodded and continued to tinker with the stone statue in her hand, speaking slowly.
“Do as you please. I’ve already examined that teleportation gate before. It’s indeed quite ingenious and poses no safety risks.”
Of course, it was crafted by a certain space magic expert personally.
Without disturbing Theresa, who was meditating, the priestess went to a corner of the wooden house and gently guided. Soon, a small door, barely a meter wide and emitting a magnificent silver light from within, slowly appeared before her eyes.
“Well then, I’ll be off~”
After bidding her farewell, before waiting for Sethlin’s response, the black-haired girl darted into the teleportation gate and immediately disappeared.
After a few seconds, the Goddess of Life, sitting at the wooden table, turned her head again, staring at the gradually disappearing and concealing silver door, lost in thought.
“Invisible Space Teleportation Gate, huh...”
Through the items produced in the game for teleportation, it was far more stable than the winged people’s technology such as the “Transit Gate.” Although it was still a quick movement through the gaps in space, the automatic attachment of a layer of silver film when entering the teleportation gate greatly reduced the burden on the body.
Violet was not teleporting for the first time in this world, so there wasn’t much to worry about. After about thirty seconds or so, she saw a rapidly enlarging ball of white light in front of her.
That was the exit of the teleportation gate set in the Courage City. Through the subtle sensation of the user, Violet could easily recognize it.
“Snap.”
The black-haired girl in a white robe leaped out from the bright door, already back on solid ground.
Violet looked around.
This place was indeed the room where she had originally set up the teleportation gate, as if it were the Queen’s exclusive dressing room?
It was silent around. Although outside the window was the night sky, other parts of the palace were illuminated by the light of magic lamps, and this rather luxurious dressing room was no exception.
Lilya wasn’t here, and there weren’t many people in the room. Neat or scattered footsteps mingled outside, probably the palace guards and maids going about their business.
Not wanting to disturb too many people, the priestess thought for a moment, then put on her Chameleon Cloak and slipped in through a side door.@@@@
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
A pair of delicate hands pushed open the side door of the sleeping chamber. A blue-haired girl in loose robes covered her mouth as she yawned and slowly walked in.
Then, her gaze met the eyes of the black-haired priestess, who was sitting at the table, absent-mindedly petting Xiangxiang with one hand and holding a partially flipped through report in the other.
Lilya was startled, while Violet smiled knowingly and waved her hand.
“Hi, long time no see. Missed me?”
“V-Violet? Is it really you?!”
The Queen quickly rubbed her eyes, her disbelieving gaze scanning the white-robed girl from head to toe, while the latter drooped her head as if disappointed.
“Wow, your reaction is so shallow. I thought you might suddenly scream or rush over. So dull, emotions have dulled...”
“Huh? No no no! I-I’m really happy! It’s just that there are maids and guards outside. If I suddenly screamed or rushed over, it might be mistaken for an assassin attack, causing unnecessary trouble... I-if Violet wishes...”
Seeing the undeniable exhaustion on the face of the Queen, who was still frantically trying to explain, Violet felt too embarrassed to continue joking with her. She raised her hand to release a small barrier, then stood up and approached the somewhat bewildered blue-haired girl.
Gently brushing aside Lilya’s sky-blue hair that hung down, the priestess smiled with some emotion.
“You’ve grown, Lilya. To be able to restrain your emotions like this, it seems you’ve become a qualified queen.”
“Violet...”
With reddened eyes, Lilya raised her head and locked gazes with the black-haired girl’s gem-like translucent silver-blue eyes for a long time. In the end, Lilya didn’t say much, only silently embraced her, trying hard to feel the warmth of the petite body and the familiar scent between the girl’s hair that she hadn’t experienced for a long time.
There was no expected commotion, nor did they hear crying or coquettish whispers. Everything seemed so warm and beautiful in tranquility.
“Violet, I missed you so much. Do you miss me?”
“Not really.”
“What?”
“Haha, you know my personality. A little is already quite impressive...”
“Well, yeah, um, Violet...”
“Yes?”
“At least, you haven’t forgotten about me. I’m so happy~”
