For most of it, Prince Aurin was calm but also a little surprised. 'Who is this woman? I have never met her before.'
Lute Belle exhaled softly and looked around her. Then she said softly, "I am Lute Belle, a good friend of Empress Nuwa."
'A good friend of Empress Nuwa?' Everyone in the Imperial Sky Palace became restless at that. All the officials present could not help but display an expression of respect. It was known that Empress Nuwa was the eldest disciple of Ancient Ancestor and the senior sister of the late emperor. She held an exceptional position in the Godly Region. Therefore, the woman before them was naturally an esteemed guest for being a good friend of hers.
At the same time, Prince Auten had put away his previously arrogant attitude, and his expression became polite. "So we have an esteemed guest. Come, have a seat."
Prince Auten may be tyrannical but he did not dare to act insolently in front of Empress Nuwa and that applied to her friends as well. Even Empress Heidi got up and bowed respectfully to Lute Belle. Very soon, a seat was prepared and Lute Belle slowly sat down.
"Lady Lute Belle, welcome! My apologies for not having a welcome committee, for I didn't know you would be coming. What can I do for you?" asked Prince Auten with a courteous smile.
All of the officials' gazes gathered on Lute Belle in a snap as soon as he said that.
Lute Belle's gorgeous face looked full of sorrow.
"To be honest, Empress Nuwa sent word for help in annihilating the fiend race. However, I had something else to do and came too late. Now I'm here to take a look at the fine jade made of her fairy jade soul after I found out she sacrificed herself in the Infernal Shadow Prison," answered Lute Belle guiltily.
The entire Imperial Sky Palace immediately fell into silence after her explanation. No matter Prince Auten, Empress Heidi, or the officials – all of them wore an expression of sadness. It was true that the fiend race had been completely annihilated, but it came at a terrible price. All that was left of Empress Nuwa was a fine jade and the Nine Heaven Emperor lost his life.
After a few seconds, Empress Heidi was the first to give a reaction.
