Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter IV Chapter 131

Helian began to tell her the situation with her sister. One by one the shocking truth was that Alice did not expect it. Asiya whom he had known all along turned out to be a royal princess.

Alice flinched then remained silent for a few seconds.

"A princess and commander of the army. Nah! Worse is that he once said he joined the rebels. Does he intend to overthrow the Queen and take her throne?" Alice muttered in her heart.

Asiya Empyrean. The sister of the Queen or the princess of the elf kingdom. Born from a mixed blood of high elves and ordinary elves in general. Her hair was indeed not golden in color but the blood and strength of the high elf tribe flowed within her body. However, still because of his appearance, many noble families did not like him.

Some of them said he was a disgrace. Some of them dubbed him an illegitimate child and some of them did not consider him to exist at all even though his status should have been obvious as the heir to the throne other than his older brother.

Helian continued to tell stories but did not explain the birth or mother of Asiya.

The cheerful, innocent and innocent girl grew well under Helian's protection. They are truly inseparable and will always be together, which is how it should be in people's view. Unfortunately, something happened that Helian herself did not know and did not realize why Asiya was slowly stretching her distance.

Because he wants recognition and does not want to be a burden for his brother. Asiya tried hard to grow strong until now where he could lead his own army.

Helian was worried but her sister's determination was so clear in her eyes. He could only smile hearing Asiya's unanimous decision to become an elf kingdom warrior.

'Incredibly, I'll put him next to me as a personal guard' Helian laughed happily without realizing that the first step was actually what made Asiya slowly move away.

"Cannot be. As Helian said. Asiya did not seem like a cunning girl. He looks so naive. Her eyes were still clear and innocent that did not reflect that she was someone who had high ambitions even to the point of wanting to seize the power of her brother."

The pleasure at the beginning was turned into a bitter fruit that Helian had to swallow.

Alice realized that based on Helian's story there was something strange. Just being a soldier is impossible to make blood relations liquid like water. Helian was a gentle figure despite being firm in her position. Asiya should know what her sister feels if she continues to behave like that.

While carrying Helian to his room with a sneak. His eyes looked at the grandness of the royal palace with a blank look.

He sank into his mind and just followed his footsteps.

"Our stories are almost similar but what sets them apart is not something simple."

The cheerful girl with sparkling eyes was not so intelligent as to concoct a vile scheme to overthrow her brother. Strongly guessed, Alice's heart said that there was something or someone who was enjoying this show behind the scenes.

"I didn't realize it was in front of his window." Alice sighed heavily after she turned her head and saw Helian sleeping soundly on her back.

"This woman, after babbling so much, she just pointed out the direction and fell asleep for granted."

Alice had obliterated her presence to the point that even a witch with tracking abilities would have trouble detecting it.

Alice jumped up.

After laying Helian on her bed, Alice left the room and returned to the inn.

"Thank you Nyx."

Nyx nodded. "Then I'll rest for a while. You better not be too rash, either. My premonition says, the more we destroy the black crystal, the more unexpected danger approaches."

"Yes. Alright."

In search of the truth, Alice began to gather some information about Asiya the commander of the army.

He was very famous among the other elves. Dwarves, dark elves, or rare spirits knew him. A cheerful person who likes to help. His smile gave his spirit and kindness made people truly helped.

Alice is on the side of the road. "Only the high elves would want to say anything about him even though few of them seemed to support him." Mumbled.

Wearing a hat to cover her ears and showing only her beautiful long hair. Alice would look like a dazzling high elf noble girl. People often misbehave when they first cross paths with them.

Alice follows Asiya who is walking towards a house in the middle of the city. There was nothing suspicious about the road and the place he passed, but the behavior of Asiya who sometimes turned and looked left and right made Alice curious.

Rouse suspiction.

Asiya was standing at the door of one of the houses. He reached into his pocket and took out a purple-colored crystal stone.

"Is that a stone with rune carvings?" Alice asked herself.

A moment later Asiya vanished from his place. Alice's eyes widened instantly as the girl suddenly disappeared from her sight.

Alice immediately approached the place where Asiya was last standing. At a glance he sensed the huge Mana wave movement. Alice closed her eyes.

"So so. This house was just an ordinary house but with that rune he teleported to another place. Smart enough to disguise it." Alice looked up, then jumped up onto the roof and moved to the place where Asiya teleported according to the movement of the Mana wave she felt.

"Meet!"

The great mansion one belonged to the high elf nobles.

The place was heavily guarded by several elf knights. Alice also felt that the mansion was protected by magic.

"My soul consciousness cannot enter through its barrier. Did they use a magic formation or runes?"

Alice did not know for sure who the owner of the mansion was. He decided to end his investigation.

"I'll ask Helian about the owner of this place."

Alice turned around.
