Chapter 171: Dying Flame (1/2)

[Utopia City, Western Palace]

The bright red sun was setting on the horizon as the sky turned scarlet red under its glow when Kaya reached the city and walked towards the administration office to meet with Behemoon.

Guards were nowhere to be seen, walking further, she gently opened the doors and found nobody inside.

'Where is she? Usually, she will sit all day long before the desk and read various documents'

Looking out of the window, she noticed the settings sun on the western horizon and turned around to leave.

She finally got her answer. She was in such a hurry that she had forgotten that it's already time for the office hours to end.

Walking through the hallway, she reached the bedroom of Behemoon and knocked on the door.

But no response came from the other side.

So, she slowly opened the door and entered.

The bedroom of Behemoon was dyed entirely in the scarlet red color of setting sun with the long shadow of Behemoon reaching the doorsteps as she sat beside the windows, looking at clouds with a tranquil and somewhat absent-minded face.

Seeing this, Kaya was silent. It was the first time she had seen Behemoon so distracted and lost.

She slowly walked towards her and stood beside her. She looked at the clouds and turned her head to face Behemoon.

Behemoon blinked and came back to her senses and noticed Kaya standing beside her.

”When did you arrive, Kaya?”

”Just now, but what about you? Why are you so absent-minded today?”

Behemoon shook her head. ”I was thinking about the time we had spent outside the forbidden forest, four months have just passed in a blink of an eye, and three months later, the world will expand again. The unknown world we know nothing about. Kaya, have you ever thought that one day we would be out here, in our human form. Talking with people of completely different race and beliefs?”

Kaya shook her head.

'If we had not met Kai. Maybe we would not even have known what the world looks like behind the divine barrier covering the Forbidden Forest's core region? It was our entire world for thirty thousand years'

Thinking about it, Kaya couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness.

Knowingly or unknowingly, Kai had brought so many changes to the six beast lords' dull lives. In the last three months, they have learned many things. Some information even comes from their bloodline's sleeping memories, giving them the ability to help Kai more efficiently and effectively.

”Anyway, what happened with Ellie's plan of turning Saintess into the lord's gift?”

Kaya helplessly smiled. ”She said that after observing her for four days and seeing how kind her behavior is. She gave up her plan.”

Behemoon eyes widened on hearing Kaya reply.

”Oh! When did she start considering others' feelings? Are you sure it was our Ellie who made such decisions without getting scolded by our Lord?”
