Chapter 197

"Are you alright?" Alicia, the goddess of wealth asked while checking his whole body.

"What do you think?" Aditya asked back.

"Princess, instead of asking you should just take off his clothes and inspect his whole body." Aditya's cold stare shut the Beginner 5th-order Succubus's mouth.

Alicia ignored Nora's words and instead took out another Peak 5-star healing pill that was given to her by her father. "Here take this." Just as Aditya put the pill in his mouth, once again a green Aura spread around Aditya's body. The green Aura began to heal his wounds. In less than 10 seconds, all of Aditya's wounds except for the permanent loss of his right eye, everything else had healed.

Seeing Aditya healing, Alicia and Sylvie of them sighed in relief. "It seems the effect of the foreign substance that was slowing down your healing speed is gone now. But I don't understand why your right eye is not healing." Sylvie knew that without Aditya's right eye, his fighting powers would be lowered. Aditya's capabilities will be limited.

"In these two days, I have pretty much gotten used to it." At first, it was uncomfortable to use only one eye. But later he slowly got used to it.

Aditya looked at Aditya's right eye which had a scar over it. For some reason, Alicia felt this scar was making Aditya look more mature and serious looking. Though the damage damaged his handsome and gentle face.

"Where is Noah?" Right now Aditya, Alicia, Sylvie, and Nora, all four were walking back to Rose High Hills city. Noah had returned to the capital with the Ethereal empire's army.

Aditya did not tell Alicia, Sylvie, and Nora about the League of Black Tomb. Aditya decided to wait and tell Alicia about it later. Alicia might be able to help Aditya to learn more about the League of Black Tomb using her business connections that are spread in almost every continent except for the Main continent.

"By the way, Alicia, in 10 days, it will be Noah's marriage right?" Aditya looked at Alicia for an explanation. Marriage? Alicia never told him anything about it.

Alicia gave Aditya an apologetic look before explaining. "It was decided that when I return home with my boyfriend or my future fiance, my brother is going to officially marry his fiance and become the next Emperor of the Ethereal Empire. Originally the wedding was supposed to be held a month later but for some reason, my parents decided to push it forward. I only got the news a day before I returned home. With all the other things in my hand, I kind of forgot to tell you about it."

"Uncle is stepping down?" Ronnie looked very young for his age. Aditya felt Ronnie should continue to be the Emperor for another decade or two. But that's just Aditya's opinion. If Ronnie already has decided to crown Noah as the Emperor, then Aditya has nothing to say in this matter. He would show his support to Noah and help him in any way possible.

"Father said that he wanted to focus on his cultivating. After he became the Emperor, he very rarely got time to cultivate."

"Actually, His majesty was a genius when it came to cultivation. Even before becoming the Emperor, His Majesty already had reached Beginner 5th order. But after becoming the Emperor, his cultivation speed has slowed down." When Nora spoke of Ronnie, Aditya and others were able to see sparkling golden stars in Nora's eyes. The naughty Succubus acted like an excited child when she spoke of Ronnie. It was as if Nora idolized Ronnie.

"By the way, who is Noah's fiance?" Aditya always has been meaning to ask this question but never got the proper time or place to ask.

? "She is the 1st princess of the Edrinia Dynasty which is located at the southern edge of the central region. Her name is Lily Collins." Sylvie had met Lily in the past. She had to admit the girl is a very charming and very gentle-natured woman. She is the perfect wife that any man can ask for.

"You see when Noah was around 10 he was sent to Edrinia Dynasty to study. In his final years, at the age of 15 or maybe 16, Noah met the young Lily who also attended the same Academy as Noah. It all started with a misunderstanding. That day it was said that Noah was angry because his friends had pranked him. Both sides became enemies after a small incident and by the end of their Academic year, both of them fell in love without even realizing it." Now that was unexpected. To think Noah is actually a romantic person, Aditya didn't know what to say.

"When father found out about this, he held a meeting with the Edrinia Dynasty's king. Since the Edrinia dynasty was located near the pearl river which is directly connected to the sea, our Empire has been trying to forge a deep connection with the Edrinia Dynasty for a few decades. Father saw the marriage between Noah and the 1st princess of the Edrinia Dynasty as a perfect opportunity to deepen the bond between the two Kingdoms. So, in the end, everyone was happy with the marriage. Big brother got to marry the woman he loved and the Ethereal Empire managed to make strong ties with the Edrinia Dynasty and get direct access to the sea which made trade easier and cheaper than before."

While talking about Noah's life, Aditya, Alicia, Sylvie, and Nora reached the Rose High hills. The last time they left the city, the whole city was surrounded and was being guarded by 1 million troops. Now all the restrictions have been lifted. People, merchants, adventurers, and traders, all were allowed to enter and exit the city according to their wishes.

After the group approached the southern gate, the soldiers that were stationed to guard the southern gate immediately recognized the princess. The guards pushed the crowd out of the way to allow the princess of the Ethereal empire and her friends to enter first.

Alicia had covered her face with a green veil before any guard or any commoner could see her face. Only the people close to her were allowed to see her angelic face. A face that can captivate the hearts of millions. A face that will make men forget about day and night and would only make them stare at her with nothing but appreciation in their eyes. Alicia didn't feel comfortable with anyone staring at her face which is why she prefers to hide her face from the world.

After entering the city, Aditya leaned toward Alicia and whispered into her right ear. "You know if you had never worn a veil to cover your face, I am sure by now a countless number of men would have chased after you and would have tried to marry you. Wife, I already feel jealous at the thought of anyone else marrying you."

After saying these words, Aditya moved away. But what he did just left the guards dumbfounded. It seems the rumor about the princess having a boyfriend is true. This was the first time, they had seen the princess allowing any man to get this close to her.

Unknown to the guards and everyone, when Aditya's said those words, his warm breath was felt on her neck. What he did increased the goddess's heartbeat to the next level. Her whole face had turned red. Even her ears were slightly red. Before even if Aditya was jokingly calling her his wife, Alicia disliked it but when he called her wife right now, Alicia strangely felt different types of emotions that she can't explain in words.

While Aditya was flirting with Alicia, Sylvie, and Nora, both instantly felt something was wrong. The security around the whole city had been tightened. Also, the guards were running here and there. Sylvie stopped one of the guards and asked. "Did something happen?"

The guard failed to recognize Sylvie as the leader of the White Lotus guild which is understandable since in this age there was no internet. Not every people had the fortune of seeing the White Lotus guild leader's face in person. Even though Sylvie was a very popular person, almost like a celebrity within the Ethereal Empire, other than the rich merchants and the people that live in the capital, not that many people have seen her. The people don't even know what the guild leader looks like.

"The 3rd daughter of the Rose family has been found dead in her restaurant. We are suspecting that it was her personal servant Ivan who had done it. But we are unable to find Ivan. Right now, the Duke has ordered us to search for Ivan throughout the entire city." Aditya and Alicia both widened their eyes in shock. Just a few days ago, both of them had met Kyra Rose, the 3rd daughter of the Rose family in her own restaurant. The news was just too shocking for them.
