Chapter 877 877: True freedom
She even felt worried that if he was too strong, he might refuse her request. At any cost, she wanted to win that man over. But as long as she wasn't certain about his loyalty, she couldn't keep him around.
As months passed, Karyk's army increased. The Empress also remembered what Karyk had done to her when he met her! She found out that he had read her memories!
She didn't know how much he read, but at any cost, she knew he was dangerous. If he read her memories, he could become a threat to her! No one else was allowed to know the secrets of the Celestial Dynasty after all.
She wanted the puppet master to turn Karyk into a puppet but she wasn't confident if he could. The puppet master was in a city filled with Purebloods. If a battle ensued, she was certain the puppet master was going to die.
She knew she had to first free herself. Only with her full strength could she be confident enough about taking that man down. But the problem was, how to do that? How could she bring the Purebloods into the land of Chaos without Karyk finding out.
She thought about it for days, but couldn't come up with any plans. Right at that moment, as if a blessing from gods, Karyk himself solved her problem.
The Puppet Master informed her that Karyk was leaving the city while commanding him to train the Purebloods in the land of Chaos.
The Puppet Master asked her if he should stop Karyk from leaving and try to kill him. But the Empress stopped him! She asked him to let Karyk leave and accept Karyk's plan.
Everything had fallen into place for her. As Karyk was away from the city, she could gain her freedom while sacrificing the army he had created. And once she was freed, she could wait for him at the border city.
Once Karyk returned, she was planning to take him down and make him accept a slave seal. Things couldn't be better for her. It was as if the fate was supporting her.
Just as the Puppet Master finished controlling all of Karyk's Purebloods through trickery, the Empress received a message from Karyk who asked for her help.
Hearing his request for help, the woman's eyes lit up. This was an opportunity she couldn't let go! Karyk was desperate and she could use it to turn him into a slave! That was the only way he had to survive after all!
She rejected all his pleas for help while placing forth her condition that he had to accept a slave seal if he wanted her seal.
She didn't worry even when Karyk refunded her offer. She knew that it was only a matter of time. If Karyk truly wanted to save his world, he couldn't afford to die. And if he didn't want to die, the only option for him was to trade his freedom for his life!
Only by becoming a loyal servant to her, he could survive and protect her world!
She waited for Karyk to contact her again, confessing that he was going to accept her offer. Once she turned Karyk into a slave, she could learn all his secrets, including the method to create Purebloods or to kill them!
However, to her surprise, Karyk didn't contact her even after hours passed. She was also distracted by the breaking of the seal and couldn't afford to be distracted.
Now that the seal was completely broken, she started wondering why Karyk hadn't contacted her. She knew that he wasn't dead or the thread tied to him would have already been cut.
"Is he still hiding and thinking about it?" She muttered, as she stepped out of the palace. "You have no choice but to come back to my embrace and give your everything to me."
She walked to the exit of the city, on the other side of which the Puppet Master was standing.
This was the threshold that she was never able to cross thanks to her seal. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Puppet Master greeted her with respect, "Empress..."
The woman looked at the threshold of the city. She had tried to pass through this place many times, but every time she was seriously hurt. She couldn't even remember how many centuries she had been dreaming about this moment.
She took a deep breath and tried something that she had tried thousands of times before, all to no avail.
She stepped forward, subconsciously expecting a barrier to stop her. But to her surprise, there was no resistance.
Her feet landed on the other side of the threshold. She was finally free of this city! She was finally able to break the seal and change her fate!
Although it took centuries, she had finally regained her freedom! She looked at the powerful undead beasts behind her who had also been sealed inside this city.
In the next instance, hundreds of giant beasts stepped out of the city. The beasts that should fly, rushed into the sky, with nothing able to stop them.
The Empress let out a smile as she looked around. "So this is what freedom feels like."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The Puppet Master went down on one knee, like a loyal knight before the Empress.
"It couldn't have been possible without you." The Empress placed her hand on the Puppet Master's head before she walked past him.
She advanced towards the border city, accompanied by beasts that were powerful enough as Generals in the Royal Elzeiran army.
There were also some that were so powerful that even she didn't understand the true extent of their strength.
