Chapter 788 It Has Been A While



"You… You fucking monster!"

Maverick shouted in rage and… fear.

Seeing his reaction, Allura frowned in confusion.

What happened?

She did say those words to piss him off, but this reaction…

Rather than anger…

It felt more like… fear…

And Maverick wasn\'t alone, the others present in the room were the same as well.

Confused, Allura turned towards the only person in the room who she trusted.

However, this time, even her servant, Evelyn looked at her with a pale face.

Allura narrowed her eyes,

"Lady Allura y-your eyes…"

Evelyn muttered.

Allura frowned, then, she glanced at the broken Affinity Sphere to see her reflection and then, she noticed that her eyes had turned purple.

Allura\'s eyes widened in surprise.

She dashed out of the room and rushed towards her own room.

She quickly arrived in front of a mirror and finally saw herself clearly,

Her eyes…

They were purple, just like Aisha\'s…

And that was not it, if it were only her eye color, her family wouldn\'t have reacted like that, the main problem was the little horns that had appeared on her head.

Allura glanced at the mirror with a shocked look on her face.

Her hands moved on her own as she touched her horns…

She felt goosebumps all over her body the moment she felt her own horns…

She wasn\'t a fool.

Eyes turning purple… appearance of Horns…

It was clear…

These were the traits of a succubus…

She… had turned into a succubus.

But… how?

Allura started thinking and tried to recall everything that happened before her death.

However,

Before she could think any further, the doors of her room were blasted open and,

"Kill that monster!

We need to kill that abomination!

She is a demon!"

\'Do you guys even know what demons are, you fools?\'

Allura cursed inwardly.

However, even she had to admit it.

The situation wasn\'t optimistic.

The Silversane house was not exactly strong, the strongest person here, her father, was only a Master Stage cultivator, someone she could squash without even thinking if she was at her peak. However, the current her, who was only a mortal, things were difficult.

There was no way she could fight against all these people, and if they intend to kill her, there was no way she could save herself.

Fighting them was not an option.

Allura narrowed her eyes.

"You monster! Get ready to die!"

Maverick roared.

"Are you an idiot?"

However, contrary to Maverick\'s and other Silversane family members\' excitement and fear, Allura seemed calm.

This calmness took everyone aback.

"If you kill me here, how are you going to answer the Skyfall Family?"

Allura questioned with a frown on her face.

Hearing those words, Maverick frowned.

"What are you talking about, Demon?"

"The Affinity Sphere broke when I placed my hand on it, do you even know what that means?"

"…"

Maverick turned silent.

Allura took this chance and continued,

"What is the highest affinity anyone can have with an element?"

"What kind of question is that? Don\'t try to stall for time, Demon. No one is going to help you. You are destined to die today."

Maverick threatened.

"Just answer the question,

Or are you that scared of a 10-year-old girl?"

"Exceptional rank affinity. That is the highest affinity one can have."

"Is Exceptional Rank Affinity the highest affinity one can have, or is it the highest rank affinity known by us?"

"…"

Maverick narrowed his eyes.

"There are level affinity ranks higher than Exceptional Rank, Maverick.

However, to achieve that level, one has to sacrifice something."

Suddenly, the Aura around Allura changed.

The way she looked at others while she was surrounded, the way she called her father\'s name, the air around her…

This change took everyone aback, Allura…

She didn\'t look like a 10-year-old child at all…

Those eyes couldn\'t possibly belong to a 10-year-old child.

And Maverick, who was a cultivator, felt something strange, he felt like he had to listen to his daughter.

No, not his daughter, he had to listen to this being in front of him…

"W-What are you talking about?"

Maverick questioned with a stutter.

"I sacrificed my humanity, Maverick."

"S-Sacrificed your h-humanity?"

"An Affinity higher than Exceptional Rank, to get this, I sacrificed my humanity. Of course, it is not as simple as it sounds, if anyone could just raise their talent like this, there would be no humans left in this world.

Maverick, I need to go to the Skyfall Family and meet Astaria Skyfall."

"Astaria Skyfall?"

Maverick tilted his head in confusion.

"Yes, Astaria, the Dowager."

Allura nodded, Maverick, however, just blinked,

"What are you talking about, Girl?

Lady Astaria is dead."

"She is alive."

Allura replied.

"Lady Astaria was born 300 years ago, Allura, not even a King Stage Cultivator can live for that long."

"Who said she was a King Stage Cultivator? She is in a completely different realm, Maverick."

eαglesnovel`c,om "Huh?"

Maverick frowned, however, in the end, his eyes turned cold and he raised his sword,

"That is enough stalling, Monster.

I do not wish to hear your blabbering anymore."

"Maverick, the decision you take right now could make or break the Silversane Family."

"Are you… threatening me?"

"No, Maverick.

Think about this.

I am a powerless child. I do not have any cultivation base, neither do I have any reinforcements coming to save me."

"What if you do?"

"What do you think would happen if I really did have reinforcements strong enough to save me from this situation?

Do you think they would let you live after you kill me?"

"…"

"I do not have anyone backing me up, Maverick.

If there was someone like that,

I would have already left this place.

Since we both know what kind of relationship we all have."

Allura glanced at her family members again, and then, she continued,

"I do not want to be \'used\', Maverick.

However, today, I will give you a chance,

Take me to the Skyfall Family,

Let me meet Astaria Skyfall and you will receive benefits that you could never imagine, even becoming a Marquee wouldn\'t be too difficult.

And if the Skyfall Family says that Astaria Skyfall is really dead and rejects my request,

You are free to kill me."

Maverick narrowed his eyes and started considering Allura\'s offer.

The chance to become a Marquee…

This wasn\'t something he could simply ignore…

Astaria Skyfall… Affinity higher than Exceptional Rank… breaking the Affinity Sphere… those purple eyes and Black horns… Sacrificing Humanity…

There were too many things to consider…

And from what he has seen, though it may look farfetched… none of this seemed… false…

Especially how this 10-year-old girl was looking into his eyes…

That expression… it was so overbearing that Maverick had the urge to kneel and bow his head in front of her. This was also the part reason why he wanted to Kill Allura as soon as possible…

"The choice is yours, Maverick.

But do keep this in mind,

The Silversane House will not have a chance to become a Marquee House if I die."

Allura spoke again and,

"Alright."

This time, Maverick agreed.

He looked into Allura\'s eyes and,

"I will take you to the Royal Family, Girl."

"Mave-"

Lucratia wanted to say something, however, Maverick just raised his hand and ordered her to stay silent.

"That is a smart choice."

Allura nodded.

Maverick didn\'t reply,

"Prepare the carriage."

He ordered. The servant standing behind him bowed and left the room.

A few minutes later, the carriage was prepared.

The Silversane House was an Earl House, so although it wasn\'t especially strong, it still had a decent influence. Meeting the Royal Family was difficult, however, requesting a meeting wasn\'t difficult.

And that was what Allura wanted.

The moment her carriage stopped in front of the Royal Palace, a Guard walked toward them,

"We ar-"

Maverick was about to say something, but Allura, who had currently covered herself with a shawl, spoke,

"We wish to meet Astaria Skyfall."

"Huh?"

Hearing those words, the Guard frowned in confusion.

Maverick and Lucratia, who were inside the carriage with Allura froze as well…

To name a dead member of the Royal Family like that…

"Child, this is not a place you can joke around."

Fortunately, the guard noticed that Allura was only a child and didn\'t mind her.

However,

"In case a Noble Family with a rank of an Earl or Higher comes, the Gate Keeper has the obligation to send their message to the Royal Hall and let the Ministers decide further course of action.

Now don\'t waste our time and deliver my message.

Unlike you, who only has to return to the Gates and stand idly for the rest of the day, I actually have things I need to do."

The guard narrowed his eyes.

He couldn\'t believe that he felt intimidated by a little girl he couldn\'t even see the face-off. Honestly, if this girl was not sitting inside a carriage that belonged to ab Earl Family, he would have shown this girl how the real world worked.

However, right now… he could only bow his head.

"As you command, Lady…"

"Allura Lean- Silversane."

"As you command, Lady Allura."

Saying that, the guard bowed his head and walked away.

Honestly, he didn\'t know how the Royal Hall would react to this news, calling out a dead member…

That Earl Family sure was foolish.

\'Heh, that rude little girl, once her family is punished, I will see who would protect her.\'

Thinking that inwardly, the guard snickered, then, he rushed towards the Royal Hall and reported.

"Silversane Family is making a request."

"What is it?"

The guard of the Royal Hall questioned.

"They want to meet Astaria Skyfall."

"…"

The guard reported, expecting an angry response, however, suddenly, the other guard turned silent,

"Who did you say was making the request again?"

"T-The Silversane Family."

"Call them in."

"B-But don\'t you have to report it to the-"

"Just call them in, don\'t ask unnecessary questions."

The guard ordered and then, he walked inside the Hall.

\'What happened?\'

The guard frowned and stood still for a while. Soon, he recalled that he had to call them in so he quickly rushed away even though he couldn\'t understand what was happening.

10 minutes later,

The Silversane Family was finally allowed to walk into the Royal Hall, for Maverick and his wife, this was the first time they were entering the Royal Hall, so obviously, they were nervous,

Allura, on the other hand, was different.

She just walked inside, leading her mother and father, without any care of the world.

"Where is Lady Astaria?"

She questioned.

"I will excuse you since you are still a child,

But when you walk into the Royal Hall, you need to kneel and pay your respects to the King.

Also, remove that shawl as well,

You need to learn proper etiquette before walking into the Royal Hall."

Gibson Fulvanius, one of the Ministers spoke.

Allura removed her shawl as she looked into Gibson\'s eyes.

Maverick and his wife, who were standing behind Allura, widened their eyes in shock when they saw Allura…

Her Horns…

They had disappeared…

Ricardus, the King of the Skyfall Kingdom, changed his expression when he glanced at Allura as well.

\'She is not bad…\'

A playful smile appeared on his face.

Allura, who could sense his thoughts, felt disgusted, however, she controlled her emotions, and smiled,

"I apologize for my rude behavior, Minster Gibson."

"Then kneel and take a bow," Gibson ordered.

"I cannot do that."

"What do you mean?" Gibson narrowed his eyes.

As for Maverick and his wife, they were about to die from a heart attack.

They couldn\'t believe this idiot was going against a Royal Minister.

"If I kneel down,

My action would harm Lady Astaria\'s dignity."

"…"

Gibson narrowed his eyes.

Let alone him, even Ricardus needs to be careful when Lady Astaria\'s name was mentioned.

"How do you know about Lady Astaria?

What is your relationship with her?"

Gibson questioned.

For some reason, no one in the room paid any heed to Maverick and his wife.

They… just turned into side characters…

"Indeed, I am quite curious as well…

How do you know about me, Little Girl?"

Suddenly, everyone in the room heard a voice, and a Black haired, browned-eyed woman walked into the Royal Hall with a curious smile on her face.

A smile appeared on Allura\'s face when she saw this woman.

"It has been a while, Astaria."
