Only half a day had passed since Alicia ventured into the underground maze and vanished without a trace. Had it not been for someone leaking this information to the Sky Empire’s higher-ups through special means, their army wouldn’t have mobilized so swiftly.

‘Traitors!' Richard’s heart seethed with rage. But for now, his focus was on the immediate threat before him.

"You conniving old man, scheming against me?" Richard growled, his body trembling with fury.

"And what if I am?" Emperor Beta's smile faded, and his tone grew serious. "You have two choices: stay here and keep me company for a few days, or lower your tariffs by fifteen percent."

Though the Jade Empire had weakened from its glory days, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The Sky Empire couldn’t devour the Jade Empire whole, so they resorted to dirty tactics, slowly picking it apart in hopes of feasting on its remains one day.

"I choose to curse your ancestors!" Richard roared, slamming his fist down in fury.

"Heh, so be it." Emperor Beta smiled darkly, thrusting his massive palm forward.

The ground shattered under the impact once more.

Meanwhile, in real life, morning had just broken.

Rakshasa slowly opened her eyes, still groggy and not fully awake. She glanced around and noticed no one beside her, though she had a feeling there should have been.

The sound of birds chirping outside stirred her mind awake.

‘Ugh, the birds are loud... Wait, I can still hear them? But... where’s Princess?' Fully alert now, she quickly sat up. Glancing around, the familiar figure was nowhere to be found.

Holding onto a faint hope, she climbed out of bed and headed for the door. The living room was empty. So was the dining room. However, there was a freshly prepared breakfast on the table, along with a note.

Neatly written words filled the small note.

To Rakshasa: Lazy piggy, are you up yet? I had to leave early for something urgent. Breakfast is ready. If you slept in, just heat it up!

Signed, Yae-hime.

After reading the note, Rakshasa smiled warmly, her heart instantly filling with warmth. In a good mood after breakfast, she returned to her room and slipped back under the blanket.

‘It smells like Princess!' She buried her face in the sheets, breathing in Yaeger’s lingering scent, and drifted into a daydream.

Meanwhile, in the [City of Chaos], "My bones feel like they're breaking..." Yaeger groaned, lying in bed with a faintly pained expression. After being clung to by Rakshasa all night, her body ached in discomfort.

"If nothing crucial comes up again, I’m never staying at Rakshasa’s place overnight," she muttered.

No one could handle being clamped down like a vise for an entire night.

"Maybe my male body wouldn’t have fared much better." She shook her head with a sigh. In her male form, she worried Rakshasa might crush her entirely.

"Now that I think about it... if I ever regain my male body, how would I face Rakshasa?"

She knew that Rakshasa only had feelings for Princess. She had never met the male version of Yaeger. Rakshasa would probably respond with a kick to the head.

"Ah, forget it. Things will sort themselves out eventually." Dwelling on it now was pointless, just a waste of time. Shaking off her unnecessary thoughts, Yaeger closed her eyes and re-entered the game.

In the wilderness outside Jade City, a flash of light marked Yaeger’s arrival.

The longer Yaeger listened, the more confused she grew. ‘What is this even about? One second she's all smiles, and the next she's throwing shade. Figuring out this woman is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.'

"Anyway, Kastina, I need to gather some materials. Could you help me find them? It's pretty urgent," Yaeger said, steering the conversation in another direction.

"Hmph. Do I look like I’m swimming in free time?" Kastina crossed her arms, pouting like a child throwing a tantrum.

"Oh, is that so? Never mind then, I’ll find someone else." Yaeger turned as if to leave.

‘Three, two, one...'

"Wait! I never said I wouldn’t help!" Right on cue, Kastina caught her by the hand before she could take another step.

"I wouldn’t want to trouble you," Yaeger said, turning back with a smile.

"You're such a tease," Kastina huffed, rolling her eyes. Of course, she knew full well that Yaeger was just messing with her.

Once they sat down, Yaeger pulled out a pen and began scribbling the list of materials Little Blue had mentioned. Before long, the paper was covered with her neat handwriting.

"So many? It’ll take me a few days to gather all of these," Kastina commented as she scanned the list.

"That’s fine. We’ve got a few days before Alicia comes back," Yaeger replied, unfazed. "Oh, and keep an eye out for the materials for the [Berserk Drug]," Yaeger added. She hadn’t had time to gather any of them due to all the chaos lately.

‘I really need to start making that [Berserk Drug] soon. Losing half my health in every fight is too much. It’s painful!'

After sorting out the business details, Yaeger and Kastina settled down for a delicious breakfast together. Though she rarely ate much in real life, she always found herself devouring plenty in the game.

‘It feels like food is absorbed better in the game. Am I imagining things?'

After breakfast, Yaeger didn’t stick around to get into anything mischievous with Kastina. Instead, she strolled through the city streets on her own.

By now, the streets were packed with more players than NPCs. Every time Yaeger showed up, screams erupted all around her. It was starting to get on her nerves.

"Are they begging me to kill them?" Yaeger muttered under her breath as players scattered like startled birds.

"Forget it. Let’s go check on Allie." Though she said it casually, Yaeger actually intended to treat her. Plus, she still hadn’t given her the Black Magic Crystal.

Without wasting time, she made up her mind. As she stepped forward, ready to dash to the Magic Academy...

"Princess!" Before she could take another step, a vaguely familiar voice called out from nearby. "I’ve finally found you!"

The voice grew louder as it approached, accompanied by an overwhelming aura. Though unfamiliar, there was something faintly recognizable about it.

‘Who could this be?' Tensing up, Yaeger stopped in her tracks, her own aura flaring in response.

Whoever this person was, Yaeger knew she had to be ready for a fight. Their strength was undeniable, and they radiated danger. This opponent might force her to go all out.

Slipping the Holy Spirit Shard from her ring, Yaeger braced herself. Slowly, she turned to face the mysterious figure.

In the next moment...

Her eyes went wide with shock. "It’s you!" she gasped.
