Chapter 2315 - Crux (3) (1/2)
”Mom, it seems like dad was right.” Alauna said softly.
”Mm… Your father has never been wrong about this kind of thing for as long as I've known him.”
”Is that so?” Alauna teased. ”Never?”
Luna sighed. ”Sometimes I think he's simply on a different level from the rest of us. You should cherish these memories you have… I fear that one day he may grow too distant from us all.”
Alauna's playful expression faded. She wrapped her arm around her mother's, leaning into her shoulder.
”You worry too much, mom. If there's one thing that dad would never do, it's separate from his family. But… What he'd do if we left this world before him… That's something I worry about all the time.”
Luna pinched her daughter's cheek. ”Listen to you, what are you thinking about. What kind of daughter worries about dying before her father? Maybe I didn't discipline you enough as a child.”
Alauna giggled. ”How could you bear to punish such a perfect little girl like me?”
The mother-daughter pair had a small intimate moment. But unfortunately, they couldn't bask in it for long.
”What should we do?” Alauna asked.
”It's exactly like your father said. The Sapientia are split along two lines, but which holds more power is already clear. If this continues, Little Sister Madeleine's parents can only wait for death.”
The mother-daughter duo hadn't been sitting idly by as everyone else fought. They had snuck into Sapientia territory for several years already.
Dyon didn't actually mind giving them such a dangerous mission only because the safety measures he put in place were beyond the means of the Sapientia to handle.
Of course, Dyon himself had entered Sapientia territory before, but it was impossible to simply expect to stumble upon an incredibly important conversation going on at just the right times. Even if Dyon could scan an entire universe back then, the Sapientia controlled over 300. He obviously couldn't monitor them all at once.
So, Dyon decided to wait… Wait until the point the Sapientia were certain that he was out of the picture. Then, he made use of his talented daughter.
As the offspring of a Heaven's Child, Alauna's talent couldn't be questioned. While Amphorae was the first of Dyon's wives to reach the Supreme Realm, Alauna was the first of the Mortal Empire to reach it in that time, period.
Not only this, but she had broken into the two facet Overlord Realm as well. In truth, she could have become a three facet Overlord as well, but hadn't done so, so that she could continue to appear on the mortal plane.
As things stood now, she had reached that realm in the two facets the Heavens tolerated: her body and her soul. This was exactly why Dyon could entrust her with this mission, because her Immortal Sense would give her a certain advantage in concealment.
Even if the Sapientia were hiding a soul facet Overlord, the soul talent Alauna had simply being Dyon's daughter wasn't something a normal First Grade World Seer could match.
