Chapter 205 Back to the royal palace
As Slyvia opened her eyes after her usual morning training session, a certain flash of light appeared in them, quickly replaced by a satisfied smile on her face.
She had completed her first round of mana training.
And just like she had been used to for the past few days, her clear blue eyes wandered here and there searching for her new teacher, but today, he was nowhere to be seen.
"Hmm... I wonder if he is busy." Slyvia muttered to herself as she floated back to the ground. She had a question that she wanted to ask him.
Since it was quite important, she decided to take a small break and headed back to the castle to search for the Lycan Lord.
She looked for him in the usual places where Roman typically spent his time, including the main hall, the library, the magic research building, and weirdly, he was missing from all these places, not to be found anywhere in the entire castle.
After a few minutes, she finally caught hold of one of the Lycan clan elders and Sylvia quickly walked over to the elder before he could run away from her.
"Do you know where your Lord is?" Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
"Umm..." The elder hesitated a bit and looked around here and there as if he had done something wrong and got caught.
"Is there something that you can't tell me?" Sylvia narrowed her eyes, which instantly made the elder falter.
"Your highness, please pardon my tardiness." He bowed respectfully and quickly blurted out. "Lord Roman has headed to the royal palace. The Lord has a meeting with his majesty this morning."
"Huh?" Slyvia's brows creased in concern as the elder quickly scurried away to resume his work, running away from her even. "Okay, thank you..."
Why did Roman suddenly leave the castle to meet the King without even telling her a word about it? She couldn't help but feel a little odd.
Not that the grown man needed to inform her of his whereabouts, but since he was visiting the royal palace, she thought that something might have happened.
"He didn't go there because of grandpa Cadmus, did he? Did grandfather's condition worsen?" Her mind started to make assumptions and her heart pounded in worry.
Even though she was trying her very best to train and become stronger so that she would be able to help him, was she already too late?

Za Za Za Za Za
The wind ruffled Sylvia's long silver locks that were sparkling in the sunlight.
Even though she couldn't shift yet and actually use her draconian bloodline to the full extent, she was still capable of flying back to the royal palace without any exhaustion.
This kind of constant use of mana required a great deal of concentration, mental ability, mana manipulation, and mana capacity!
To achieve such a feat, a mage needed to train from a young age. However, Sylvia was able to do the same with just a few weeks of training.
She flew past several forests in between the territories and kept her distance from the trees to avoid any encounters.
A small bead of perspiration formed on her forehead, but it quickly disappeared as she continued flying with ease.
The difference between the Lord's castle and the royal palace wasn't too much, but her speed was still lesser than the griffon bird she had ridden all the previous times.
She had a few more minutes of travel left, even though everything appeared calm and uneventful.
Still, she kept her guard up and her eyes darted cautiously to ensure that nothing else was on her trail.
Just like her, Isaac who was running on the ground, only barely keeping up with her also cautiously observed everything.
However, the man's appearance was completely different from Sylvia's casual appearance. He was drenched from top to bottom in sweat.
"Praise the heavens, everything is going smoothly." He gulped, panting for breath. Unfortunately for him, his words might as well have been a jinx!
The next second, a loud horrendous roar resounded through the forest.
Ki Ki Ki Ki Ki!
