After the performances from Ling Tian and Aili, some other students also started to show their skills. There was even a girl who played illusions using the medium of music, rather she played the flute.
The girl was named Luscinia Vox Caeli, from a small kingdom in Helheim. The girl was still around twelve years old with long purple hair. He has a gentle temperament, which suits his profession as a musical performer. I am satisfied with the girl's skills. Moreover, his skills were already several levels above that of a student, and were almost on par with an instructor. Therefore, I gave her the title of Lady of Illusion. With this, Moonlight Academy had one more Title Holder. In addition to the title, I also gave him a copy of the «Book Of Illusion Flute» in which there are various types of illusions with the flute intermediary that I got by chance in Alterion.
In addition to the various types of illusions, the book also recorded middle-level soul training. As an illusionist, soul power is everything. So, even if it is just a copy, the book can be said to be very complete.
The whole show lasted until the afternoon. When I finished, I immediately left together with Arene to return to the palace. The things I should have done here were done, there was no reason for me to continue living in Helheim. Now is the time to come back.
But before that, I want to visit Aneria and Zhang Zilin. I haven't seen them in a long time. Although I heard from Arkne's report that they work well, but I still want to see it for myself.
First, I went to Aneria's place. Today his country has become much better . The development of technology and magic is growing thanks to the help of the Moon Palace. In addition, the ruins that exist in the kingdom have many relics from the past, precisely about five hundred thousand years ago. Their relics aren't very valuable, so I didn't take much from there.
When I came to him, he was busy taking care of some of the piles of paper that were in front of him. I only came alone without anyone accompanying, so I instantly appeared around Aneria.
As soon as I saw her appear, Aneria immediately knelt on the floor.
Filia:"You seem to be very busy. Even I heard that you have over half a year not visited your sister in Moon Palace. What's up?."
Aneria:"Nothing happened, Your Majesty. I was just tired of work, so I wanted to get my job done as quickly as possible and create a stable country for my sister. Thus, I can rest well and can learn more at Moon Palace."
From the beginning he was indeed not too interested in the position of a king, so it was natural that he was not too enthusiastic when leading this country. If not for his little brother and also because of the demands of Moon Palace, he would have given up this position long ago.
Looking at her attitude like that, I just smiled and gestured her to stand up. In this workspace there are separate tables and chairs for specifically to talk to important guests in secret. I took Aneria to sit on the chair and pulled out a set of tea along with a small snack.
Philia:"Is there a problem all this time?."
I asked Aneria who stood up to pour me some tea.
Aneria:"No. The last revolt was immediately quelled after the nobles who supported it were executed. Moreover, after news that the kingdom was under the rule of Moon Palace, all forms of opposition were immediately extinguished on that very day. This is all thanks to your strength, Your Majesty."
I listened to Aneria quietly while sipping tea as she answered my question. Hearing what he said, I could only smile a little. Indeed, without the help of Moon Palace, it would be difficult to quell the rebellion. But it was also not entirely because of Moon Palace. If not for his ability to rule, the rebellion would not have been quelled that easily.
Aneria and I talked for a long time like friends. Looking at his tired-looking eyes, I ordered him to rest, while I went to meet with Zhang Zilin in the empire. I haven't seen him in a long time either. Although there was nothing very special about him, I liked talking to him. She looks like a nice sister to me.
With that goal in mind, I did not hesitate to directly teleport to where Zhang Zilin was....
.....
As soon as Filia opened her eyes, she appeared in a garden filled with colorful flowers that emitted a dim light. The flowers in that place were neatly and beautifully arranged on both sides of the stone path. In the somewhat dark surroundings of Helheim, the light from the flowers was clear and very beautiful.
Filia walked down the white stone path leading to a vast open space. In the center of the open space was a large tree with golden yellow flowers that lit up, indicating that this was the time of day for Helheim.
A tall woman with long light brown hair. At each end of her hair was a bright orange red color, and a few strands of snow-white hair on her forehead.
The woman was wearing a red dress with beautiful gold ornaments. He stood under the tree with eyes that stared straight at the red moon. The moonlight was reflected on her soft and watery lips, making her lips like they were engraved from a pomegranate red stone.
Her face was a smooth oval shape with a slender nose that was very well proportioned and complemented the beauty that stood it. The soft smile hanging at the corner of her mouth looked very calm like a fairy. Sometimes a gentle breeze blew on her clothes and hair, making her clothes and hair sway gently. The fallen golden yellow flower petals became a complement to that tall beauty. Rather than a human, Zhang Zilin was currently more like a Goddess than in a painting.
It should have been an amazing sight, only on the trunk of the big tree were some figures tied up using thorny ropes, so that his body was bleeding that was dirtying their clothes. The rough and simple clothes on their bodies had many tears and traces of blood.
Filia looked at the thorny black whip in Zhang Zilin's hand and she knew that the tearing in them was the result of the whip in Zhang Zilin's hand. The skin under the shirt was also torn apart and shed a lot of blood. The four people who were tied up were already in a very weak state due to Zhang Zilin's treatment of them.
Filia:"It seems you really enjoy that kind of thing."
Filia's soft and calm voice carried the wind into Zhang Zilin's ears. As soon as Philia's voice reached his ears, Zhang Zilin immediately turned around and knelt down towards Philia.
Zhang Zilin:"Zhang Zilin welcomes you, Your Majesty."
Zhang Zilin was not too surprised by the sudden arrival of someone. After all, the Moon Palace people always came suddenly if there was no official meeting. However, he was surprised that the one who came today was a very rare Philia to appear. A mysterious and untouched high existence.
In response to Zhang Zilin, Filia simply nodded and sat down on a leisurely chair a bit away from the tree. Seeing Filia sitting down, Zhang Zilin stood beside her knowingly.
Zhang Zilin:"Sorry for showing such an uncomfortable sight, Your Majesty."
Filia:"No need to think about."
Although Filia said so, Zhang Zilin h time waved his hand to signal the three female servants kneeling at one end of the garden. They were the three Zhu people who were the servants of Zhang Zilin's trust.
The two of them immediately came bowing and kneeling before Philia without daring to raise their heads.
"Zhu cai welcomes His Majesty."
"Zhu'er welcomes His Majesty."
"Zhu may welcome His Majesty."
Philia:"Yes."
Zhang Zilin:"You guys immediately clean up this mess."
Zhu cai:"I understand the empress."
The three of them untied the thorny rope with their hearts and dragged the four people in turn. Philia did not care much about those people, she just lay back and closed her eyes. When they returned, the three servants brought a basin of warm water and a fine cloth to wipe the skin.
Beautifully dressed Zhang Zilin took over the basin of water and squatted on the ground below Philia.
Zhang Zilin:"If Your Majesty allows."
Philia:"Yes."
As soon as he had Philia's consent, he took off Philia's silver shoes slowly and very carefully, as if he had touched them too hard, Philia's feet would have been scratched or they would have been crushed.
Zhang Zilin soaked the fine cloth in warm water and squeezed it dry to wipe the feet of Filia. In addition to a basin of water, Zhang Zilin also applied a special kind of oil to massage the legs of Filia.
Filia simply lay back on the chair while enjoying a gentle massage from Zhang Zilin. Zhang Zilin's massage could be said to be above the level of an expert. After all, as an emperor lady, she had to be equipped with various skills to attract and satisfy the emperor, so her massaging skills could be said to be excellent.
Zhang Zilin gently massaged Filia's legs with a smile, as if he was enjoying the massage process very much. Inwardly, Zhang Zilin thought: This small and tender foot, how can he sustain such a terrifying strength?.
I really feel like I have a daughter. Looking at those slender and small legs, Zhang Zilin's mind flashed somewhere.
If any other servant or royal member saw Zhang Zilin's current appearance, they would be greatly dazzled as well as shocked. They would be enchanted by a very beautiful Goddess with a gentle and soothing graceful smile.
But they will also be very surprised. A most powerful woman in one of the most powerful countries in the East, willingly knelt down and washed the feet of a young girl. Although Zhang Zilin did not become an empress, but her charisma and leadership in the midst of the imperial crisis, made her recognized as the most influential woman in the empire. The emperor also decided that the decision made by Zhang Zilin was equivalent to the emperor's decision. So, no one dared to bully this woman. Moreover, that Moon Palace was blatantly supporting Zhang Zilin from behind.
Philia:"I heard that you did a very good job. I'm very satisfied with that. If you want, you can stay directly in the Moon Palace and live a relaxed life there."
Zhang Zilin:"I am very happy with your praise, Your Majesty. But, I still want to arrange the ones here. I feel that what I'm doing isn't enough."
Philia:"Well, you decide for yourself."
Zhang Zilin:"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Philia:"What about the wars that took place in some small kingdom under you?."
After a moment of silence, Filia asked Zhang Zilin.
Zhang Zilin:"There is nothing special. The war continues to this day."
Filia only gave "Hem" in response to Zhang Zilin's statement.
Zhang Zilin:"Your Majesty, now that Moon Palace has by default become the supreme ruler of the eastern and central mainland, why don't you suppress the riots and wars that are taking place in those countries?."
Philia: "I did not expect that you would ask such a question."
Filia opened her eyes and fixed her sitting position. He looked at Zhang Zilin with a smile and took a sip of the tea the waiter had prepared.
Philia:"Because I want to see them grow. Only by facing challenges can a civilization continue to thrive. The challenge can be war, disaster, resource crisis and so on. Besides, I want to see if they have anything interesting, that might come out in that war."
After answering Zhang Zilin's question, Filia went back to lying down while enjoying a massage on her legs. Either when, with a calm atmosphere and a comfortable massage, Filia fell asleep in the lounge chair.
Zhang Zilin wiped the filia's feet with a cloth and signaled to the servant to take the basin of water away. Looking at the sleeping Philia, no one dared to make the slightest sound that could possibly disturb Philia.
"Cinel..."
As Zhang Zilin watched the sleeping Filia, he suddenly heard someone calling out to him gently. As he turned around, Zhang Zilin saw a handsome young man smiling gently at him. On the man's head were the purple wolf's hairy ears.
The man had long dark purple hair with a smooth face that was slightly angled. His eyes were sharp with pointed brows like swords. Thin lips that smile and nose pointed, making him a handsome man.
Her eyes that looked at Zhang Zilin were so gentle and charming. Seeing the man's arrival, Zhang Zilin was shocked, but his heart also scattered a flower of happiness.
The man only saw Zhang Zilin in his eyes without seeing anything else. He walked over and hooked his hand to Zhang Zilin's thin waist. He directly pulled Zhang Zilin into his arms. Sensing the warmth from the man, Zhang Zilin's face turned crimson. He was really surprised, especially...
Zhang Zilin instantly broke free and pushed the man away. Seeing Zhang Zilin's actions, the man looked puzzled.
Then his eyes were fixed straight towards the lounge chair behind Zhang Zilin. Without much thought, the man directly dropped his right knee to the ground and knelt down. Without saying a word, he continued kneeling for a while before returning to his feet and looking at Zhang Zilin who was holding back a laugh.
"You're so happy."
The man could not help but smile bitterly when he saw Zhang Zilin's expression.
Zhang Zilin:"Who told you not to pay attention?!."
"It's my fault. I really did not expect that His Majesty would come to this place. If my sister finds out that I made a mistake like this, maybe she'll punish me."
Zhang Zilin:"I'm sure Miss Asche will do that."
Zhang Zilin came forward and kissed the man's cheek. They smiled at each other and quietly walked to the right and left of the sleeping Philia to guard her.
The wolf-eared man was the human form of Amethyst, the space wolf that once fetched Lusian and the others in the Celts world. No matter when, his relationship with Zhang Zilin reached such a point. Such news was already known by the people of Moon Palace, and they were also happy for Amethyst.

(Philia.).
The Mansion of Rosefield.....
Due to the massage that made my body comfortable, I involuntarily fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw a couple of lovers who took care of me for a while.
Unwilling to delay things, I went straight back to Moon Palace and returned to the mainland. When I returned, the Sun began to show its figure, indicating that it was starting in the morning. Today was the day I returned to the academy, so I immediately prepared a few things. Especially, I must prepare for the plans of those mysterious people. I don't know the creature they call a god and I don't want to take any chances, so I have to prepare everything as best I can.
I immediately went down to the first floor to have breakfast with my family. After the meal, my mom and I went straight to the academy. While father, he had some things to do in the palace, so father was gone even before sunrise.
Harnas:"Darling, you have to take care of yourself in the academy. I can only take you to the gate because there's something in the palace that I have to do."
In front of the academy gate, mama hugged me tightly. His face looked sad and worried.
Filia:"Ma, don't worry. I can take care of myself. What's more, there's a mother who'll take care of me."
I patted my mother's back to calm her down. Mother also approached mana and patted him on the shoulder.
Arsh:"Don't worry. I'll take good care of Filia."
Harnas:"Yeah, I leave it to you. I'm not afraid he's in danger, but I'm afraid he'll do something reckless to harm others."
Arsh:"Well, that's the most worrying."
Oye... Can you two not speak badly of me?. I was quite complaining in my heart about the conversation mom and mom had.
Mama nodded to the two of us and went with the horse carriage to the palace.
Arsh:"Darling, let's go in!."
Filia:"Yes mother."
The moment me, mother, and Ilma walked into the academy, behind me suddenly came the sound of horse footsteps. When I turned around, there was a horse carriage heading to the academy. The three of us gave way to the train.
I know that train. It was the chariot of the House of Beltras that became the executor for the devils' plan.
Heh... It's gonna be so much fun...
(The end of this chapter.)
I'm sorry I didn't update for a few days because I was cured. I just fell off a motorcycle while driving my mom to the market.
There are not many physical injuries, but I had a strain on several parts including my arms and back because I had to hold a fairly heavy motor on the uphill road so it wouldn't hit me and my mom.
Just my mom's leg might be a little worse. There was a big cut and a sprained ankle. But now everything's fine.
