James and Lief continued chatting for quite some time. Eventually, they decided to head back to the saintessʼ spiritual mountains and left the restaurant together.
…
Inside a quiet manor located among the spiritual mountains belonging to the saintess, Saachi was training inside a room.
She was glowing in a pure, white light from head to toe. The colors of her eyes took on a mysterious, dreamy shade. It was as if one could see the enchanting view of the galaxies in within them.
All of a sudden, a burst of Sword Energy seemed to materialize before Saachiʼs eyes, and it abruptly stopped Saachi from using her powers. The magnificent colors faded from Saachiʼs eyes almost instantaneously. Blood oozed from the corners of her eyes as her irises appeared to turn dull and murky.
As Saachi coughed up some blood, she lost her balance and fell onto the floor.
On the other hand, Leif had been waiting patiently outside since he sensed that Saachi was in the middle of her training session. Upon hearing the noises, Leif hurriedly entered the room.
“Your Holiness, are you alright?” Leif asked anxiously.
Saachi wiped the blood off her lips with the back of her hand. Then, she slowly got to her feet. The lady seemed like a celestial being who had fallen to the lands of the mortals as she had lost her usual radiance and vitality at that moment.
Saachi nodded. “I’m fine.”
Leif did not dwell on the matter since he was well aware of her current struggles. He tactfully changed the topic.
“I just met James Caden, and had a chat with him. The man is still wary of us since he hasnʼt shared anything of note about himself with me. However, I can tell that he probably has an impressive background.”
