Chapter 463: Sightseeing

Emery and Klea walk past the exit of Camelot's castle, He then realized the sound of uniform footsteps behind him.

Following behind them were a dozen strange-looking guards. They wore all black clothes all face covered with minimum armor on their shoulders, a curved sword on the sides, and a round shield on their back. These warriors marched behind him with superb discipline. 

"They are my royal guard Emery, dont worry about them, they are harmless"

Even from a momentary glance, Emery could tell all of them are far from harmless.  There was an aura no weaker than a golden knight coming out of them.

With an exotic beauty walking on his side plus a dozen strange-looking warriors, surely all eyes were starring at each of their steps. Emery wasn't used to this kind of attention, but Klea kept returning their stare with a wave, a greeting, or a smile, seemingly relishing the attention on her.

"So, where do you want to go?" 

Emery asked after they finally managed to slip away from the crowd that seemed to get bigger by the seconds. "What do you like to see? This Camelot City here is the biggest city in Briton."

Klea furrowed her eyebrows, unimpressed with the statement.

"Really, this is the largest? Then, I have no wish to see any the other cities."

Emery could only sigh inwardly. As a Queen, she must have seen different places throughout her rule. Compared to those wondrous places, Camelot was probably nothing.

"Then, where do you want to go?"

Klea grinned with a mischievous glint in her eyes, as if she was waiting for this very moment. 

"Your home will do, then. Family, friends, the whole package! Treat me like introducing your new girlfriend into your life."

He furrowed his eyebrows. The closest thing he had to a family was the people in the fey village and his only home was in Venta. That should be their destination.

But, there was still the obvious matter.

"How about your guards? Will they be coming, as well?"

That question actually made Klea's face redden slightly.  "Well… If… You would like us to be more private, then that could be arranged…"

It seemed Klea was misunderstood.  Emery only asked the question as he had to consider the energy needed to use the [Spatial Gate] spell. Although this time with his high spirit force he feels strong enough to send multiple people, He had never opened it for a dozen people before,

But, before he could explain anything to her, Klea has already called for the leader of the guards. She whispered something to him and they turned around before leaving.

"All done, they will be returning to the ship."

The word 'ship' quickly reminded Emery about his new quest. He wondered if this was a coincidence. Either way, he had to keep the questions for later, as this was not the place to talk about it.

Emery led Klea for a walk towards the hill. The chill of the night caressed their skin, while the stars above twinkle like a sea of diamonds, undisturbed by human activity beneath. The place smelled like freshly cut grass, creating a simple but romantic atmosphere between the two of them. 

Being taken to the hill alone in the middle of the night made series of questions came to Klea's mind "Where are the horses? Are we going to walk all the way? He can't be living on this hill, so close to the castle, can't he? What is he trying to do?" 

Thanks to this, she started to have naughty thoughts. What was Emery going to do to her?

She was surprised when Emery suddenly stood near the edge of the hill and raised his arm, making a circle with his finger, creating a purple tear in the air.

[Spatial Gate]

Witnessing the spell made Klea excited and disappointed at the same time

Emery offered his hand and took her directly to the stone formation in the village, right next to the stone formation where Killgragah stayed.

"Wow, Emery, this is such an amazing spell!" She knows the wonder of this spell as soon as she uses her spirit reading and realized they were not near their previous location at all.

Klea started to excitedly ask Emery about the spell, from the range to the requirements and the energy needed for each cast. Last time in the magus academy, Klea had known about Emery's ability to use [Blink], therefore, having him be able to cast [Spatial Gate] seemed logical.

"So, this spell is how you keep disappearing from my spirit reading range."

This sentence reminded Emery about why he was unable to sense her before? He sincerely ask about it, but Klea dismissed him with a laugh. She was happy to know something he didn't, that was: a way to mask their spirit force from being sensed by others.

"Well, if you are nice to me, of course I will teach you." said the queen with a wicked smile

From their time in the academy, Emery had always known she was much more talented in spirit reading. It was no wonder she could learn and do such things. 

Thinking about her ability suddenly reminded him of something.

"Klea, can you see the stone formation here? Can you sense anything weird about it at all?"

Emery wanted to see whether Klea could sense the existence of Khaos within this stone formation. 

Klea concentrated on the structure, but apparently, all she could find was the [Earth Runes Formation] he had created.

The queen was smart and there was no way for Emery to hide something from her. The question he asked surely made her suspicious. Trying to find anything she might have missed, she took a look at the stone one more time. 

Emery decided to explain to her briefly about the power hiding within the stone formation.

"A dragon! Here, on our planet!? Wow! can I see him please?"

Unfortunately, only he was able to enter the Khaos space.

Emery had told Morgana and Gwen briefly about Killgragah, so they would know where to find him should the situation arise. As for Klea, Emery actually had bigger hopes. He believes that one day, he would need the aid of someone to find the secret behind the Khaos Space and Klea, with her intellect, was the top candidate for that pursuit.

"I can tell you more about it later, let's go."

It was already late, and Emery opened up another gate to his estate for both of them.
