Two elusive streams of magical light emanated from the top of the council hall.
They soared across the vast and clear sky, slowly descending outside the Mage Council Hall.
The moment they touched the ground beneath Endymion, two figures gradually revealed their clear outlines from the swirling magic.
As experienced elders, Haim Horn and Rachel were struck by Aurelian's longing and reddened eyes.
He immediately understood why she had rushed to the parliament hall.
Therefore, they decided to leave the time for the father and daughter to reminisce.
We can discuss the rest after Aubrey and Aurelian have finished catching up.
Thinking of this, the two councilors couldn't help but turn around and look at the entrance to the council where Aurelion and Aubrey were.
However, in that very glance...
They spotted a blonde girl in a black trench coat at the edge of the parliament hall entrance.
At that moment, Erica was leaning against the door, her body reclining.
She listened to the sounds inside the council hall like a thief, secretly yet curiously.
Erica is different from Aurelion.
This was her first time entering the Mage Council, so she did not have the authority to freely enter and leave the Mage Council.
Seeing this, Rachel coughed lightly twice.
Upon hearing the sound, Erica froze, her heart pounding, and the hairs on the back of her neck involuntarily stood on end.
He stood up straight, embarrassed, and stopped eavesdropping.
Turning around at the sound of coughing, she suddenly realized that two councilors were watching her from behind.
Erica scratched her face, her expression stiffening slightly, and she felt a little awkward for a moment.
“Ah, Dean Rachel, and Senator Heim.”
Upon hearing Erica's greeting, the two councilors exchanged a strange glance.
Rachel stroked his beard and asked Erica:
What are you doing here?
"I was worried, so I came with that little empress."
Erica explained the reason directly.
After all, she was the one who looked after Aurelion from the very beginning.
Moreover, it's reasonable for her to say that the other party is 'small'.
Erica is two years older than Orilian; she is already twenty-eight.
"..."
Thinking that she was almost thirty years old and still hadn't won Viktor's heart, Erica pursed her lips slightly and fell into a brief silence.
The two councilors, of course, could not understand the inexplicable feelings of loneliness in the girl's heart, but they nodded, seemingly understanding Erica's purpose.
Heim Horn then added:
“She was talking to her father inside; she must have had a lot to say.”
"It's best not to bother her."
Upon hearing this, the dejection on Erica's face vanished instantly.
Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, her expression one of utter disbelief.
Looking back into the parliament hall, she asked cautiously, in a low voice:
"So inside... it really is the late Emperor Auberle?"
When referring to Aubrey, the Imperials would naturally add "the late Emperor" after his name.
After all, for most people, Aubrey is a legendary figure who has been lost to the annals of history.
Ten years have passed since Aubrey's death, and the era that the strongest warrior of yesteryear ushered in seems to have faded away.
Therefore, Erica's surprise is completely understandable.
Although she did see Aubrey that day and felt his astonishing power to dispel magic and shatter space with a flick of his wrist,
But Aubrey was already dead, and she had never seen him when he was young.
So when Erica saw the white-haired young man, her first suspicion was that he was a new actor hired by Professor Victor.
Upon hearing Erica's question, Haim Horn and Rachel both nodded.
After receiving confirmation, Erica became silent.
Unlike Aurelion, Erica, though she hadn't seen Levi for eight years, they often kept in touch through magic stones.
Erica knew that the other person was definitely doing better than her daughter, who was living on the streets.
She was so good to him that even if she didn't go home for a long time, she didn't have to worry about her husband.
Moreover, Erica did not feel lonely at all during the eight years she was away from the Empire.
The hope that Professor Victor will return, and the constant companionship of the evil god.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Empress developed that kind of personality.
She was inherently a lonely being.
Thinking of this, Erica took a deep breath.
Recalling the Queen's unwavering resolve in facing the Hyjal crisis alone without any assistance, I couldn't help but ask:
"So, making me a dark sorcerer and causing disaster was also part of the plan?"
This was the question Erica was most curious about.
From the very beginning, Professor Victor never fully revealed the entire plan.
Initially, he only asked Erica to help relocate the various body parts of the Dark Mage to the center of Hyjal as an energy source.
However, after she chanted the incantation as planned, she transformed into a dark sorcerer.
Just then, an alarm sounded in the world outside Endymion.
Although the Dark Archmage's body, composed of chaotic magic, was indeed practical and greatly benefited her,
But this feeling...
I'm very unhappy.
Erica lowered her head, feeling a faint, dull ache deep in her chest.
It felt like being used by someone you like, as a stepping stone on another woman's path to success.
This made Erica feel insignificant and small.
It seems that in Professor Victor's eyes, apart from her usefulness in helping Aurelion grow, her emotions are not valued at all.
