Chapter 552: Beautiful Twins (2/2)
”Un,” Supreme Elder Haldir nodded before he began to explain, ”When Transcendents advance to the Seeking Insight Stage, the quantity of our power doesn't increase, but rather, its quality changes on a fundamental level that grants us even greater power.”
”I see…” Elizabeth uttered.
Nevertheless, Supreme Elder Haldir could not help but still think back on their conversation.
Was the Seeking Insight Stage really possible to attain purely based on heavenly-gifted talents alone? Were there no other factors at play here?
”Supreme Elder.”
A soft and gentle voice suddenly interrupted the Supreme Elder's train of thoughts before he glanced over and saw a pair of peerless elvish sisters approaching.
Faelyn was in her usual elven dress of leafy green and leather brown while looking a bit fresh after a bath.
However, her third eldest sister, Princess Thessalia, on the other hand, had undergone a huge transformation.
Contrary to the usual battle dress Princess Thessalia usually wears, at that moment, she was wearing a regular green dress.
Her golden blonde hair was silky smooth and well-braided, her fair skin glowed with a polished shine, and her face was innocent and pure like an angel—or rather, it was like she had suddenly become ten years younger.
With the two princesses standing next to each other, the two could be hardly differentiated and could be mistaken for a pair of beautiful twins.
Nevertheless, Supreme Elder Haldir could immediately tell the two apart. He shifted his gaze to Faelyn before asking, ”What is it? What mischief are you two lass up to?”
”Supreme Elder, It wasn't me who called you just now, but my sister.” Faelyn immediately chuckled softly before turning to her third eldest sister, ”See? I told you that the Supreme Elder and others would be fooled if you spoke like this.”
”Not only the voice but even your appearances had me fooled,” Elizabeth interjected before she inspected the two princesses with lit eyes.
Thessalia felt slightly uncomfortable under the Queen's gaze before she smiled lightly, ”I hope we aren't interrupting anything. It's just that we heard from the General Marquis that Your Majesty intends to take the people and tribesmen away from here?”
”En, I just discussing this with Marquis Haldir a moment ago, and he had agreed. However, I won't be forcing anyone to leave if they are unwilling to part with the Elder Tree. Still, I do hope that you will all be able to persuade them into leaving.” Elizabeth admitted.
It would be a problem to carry forward with the plan if most of the elves decided to remain behind with the Elder Tree.
”That's great.” Princess Thessalia nodded with relief before she performed a curtsied to the Queen, ”We will do our best to persuade our tribesmen, Your Majesty.”
She, herself, was quite eager to see the World Tree first-hand.
Right at that moment, the thunderclouds that had just been in the skies a moment ago completely vanished before a powerful pressure was emitted from Aria's glowing body!
She had successfully reached the Seeking Insight Stage!
