907 Four 3 (1/2)

After a few more bits of nagging, Clara and Madeleine agreed to make the trip. With how teleportation formations worked in the tower, it was impossible to tell where someone had decided to go unless you were a formations master.

Not only were formations masters bored enough to do this much too rare, when teleporting to a location with a fog barrier, tracking one's location was impossible. It was an added layer of protection given by the tower to Corners without established key wielders.

In addition, the Snow Palace was Ri's private residence. As such, she could decide who could and couldn't use her formation. The only person capable of overriding her authority was Saru, but she obviously wouldn't do such a thing.

Because they had to keep their connection to one another a secret, Ri, Clara and Madeleine rarely saw each other. However, thanks to Clara, they had spoken to each other quite frequently in the last decade, aside from when they were in trials, of course.

However, that didn't mean they didn't come to the tower frequently. Usually, the stronger younger generation members would take up residence in the tower instead of living within their clans and sects. So, Clara and Madeleine deciding to go didn't alert anyone too much.

Unfortunately, though, nothing could be this perfect. Because of Clara's unknown past, the Sapientia had taken keen interest in her and had thus decided to monitor her. As such, her action of leaving their quadrant was well documented. That said, even more unfortunately for them, today would be the day Dyon told Clara that there was no need to return to the Sapientia quadrant. He knew she was in danger there and didn't like it.

Dyon was like a little boy on Christmas Day as he sprinted across the Snow Palace completely naked, barrelling for the door like a mad-man. Ri was still too weak, so he had gently wrapped her up and left her on the bed for the time being, going to greet Clara and Madeleine alone.

The moment he opened the door, he didn't even give them a chance to react to his full glory before swooping them into his arms.

Despite her feigning anger, Clara ended up giggling along with Madeleine at Dyon's childish actions.

With one swift motion, he re-entered the Palace, slamming the large doors closed with his foot as he balanced both Clara and Madeleine on each of his shoulders. He only lamented the fact he hadn't known about Clara's invention earlier so he could have seen them sooner.

As he was making his way up the stairs, Dyon felt a tug on his ear. He would never suspect his sweet and caring Madeleine to do such a thing, so obviously the culprit was Clara.

”Tell me, how did you bypass my surveill – I mean my invention like that? You suddenly appeared out of nowhere.”

Dyon grinned, ”What, were you planning on using this chain to monitor me? Have you no faith in your husband?”

Madeleine giggled like the amiable big sister babysitting two rowdy children.
