445 Intense Killing Inten (1/2)

Elizabeth noticed and said with a smile, ”Aria, you don't need to stay here with us. If you want to chase after Leon, go for it.”

”But Leon asked me to look after…” Aria said hesitantly while looking at Darlene.

”It's fine. Leave Darlene with us and go.” Elizabeth smiled and helplessly said, ”Someone needs to keep him in check. Otherwise, he will force all the maids and guards out of the palace for his wives and children one day.”

Darlene's face immediately reddened. She lowered her head in shame.

However, Elizabeth walked over and comforted her, ”Don't worry. I am not blaming you. It is just that my son is... He is… Well, sigh. Never mind. You'll see.”

”Then… I'll be off?” Aria asked hesitantly in confirmation.

”Go.”

Elizabeth and Heinrich nodded.

”Thank you, mother, father.”

Once Aria received the Queen and King's confirmation, she turned her sight in the western direction.

Cold lightning began seeping out of her body slowly, contrary to ordinary lightning that would dance and sparkle everywhere—no, the ice-lightning was more tamed.

Even so, after the white ice-lightning cloaked Aria's body, her aura immediately surged wildly as the ice-lightning behave erratically and actively.

Boom!

Aria disappeared into the distance in a single instance like a zap of lightning! The power of ice-lightning allowed her to travel and incredible speed, breaking the sound barrier!

She left behind a trail of remnant static electricity that sparkled in the chilled air.

”Incredible…”

Darlene was awed.

She had never seen someone move so quickly. Even Chief Valencia was incapable of moving this fast… Were all her hubby's women this capable? If so, her abilities were nothing in comparison.

Darlene silently compared herself to Aria and felt despondent.

She was not the only one surprised by Aria's speed. Elizabeth and Heinrich were equally astounded. It was also their first-time seeing Aria's move at lightning speed after achieving Transcendence.

Lightning Transcendents—No, Ice-Lightning Transcendents appeared to be extremely powerful! Elizabeth began to ponder whether the idea of single-element mastery was too rigid.

How did Aria achieve the fusion of the Ice and Lightning to become an Ice-Lightning Transcendent? The power of elemental fusion was nothing to scoff at.

'Perhaps, I should consider fusing the metal and fire elements to achieve something greater.' Elizabeth silently mused.

However, it was only a passing thought. She shortly pushed it behind her before smiling warmly at Darlene.

However, Heinrich paused her.

”Perhaps, we should consider washing up first.” He suggested.

Elizabeth glanced at their dirty faces and soiled clothes and chuckled lightly, agreeing with Heinrich's suggestion, ”True, we should wash up first.”

”Darlene, was it? Let us chat later, alright?” Elizabeth said.

Darlene nodded obediently, thinking she was not in any position to refuse. She wanted to leave a good impression on Leon's parents.

”Men!” Elizabeth summoned.

”Yes, Your Majesty?”

A few palace guards quickly stepped forward, awaiting her orders.

”Escort Darlene to the prince's courtyard and get some maids to help arrange for her accommodations there,” Elizabeth ordered.

”Right away, Your Majesty!”

”Miss Darlene, this way, please.” The palace guard politely gestured.

After Darlene left with the palace guards, Heinrich walked over and said, ”My wife, hehe, you know it's been quite a long time since we were intimate…”

”What about it, Heinrich?”

Elizabeth looked back at her husband strangely, finding his body gestures to be rather odd and suspicious.

Heinrich glanced around before pulling himself closer to Elizabeth's ear and whispered, ”How about we go wash together—Aiyo~!”

Heinrich exclaimed after Elizabeth pinched his waist.

”Don't even think about it.”

”Haiz… wifey, I am still a man in my prime. Men need to do these kinds of things often to relieve their stress. If you are unwilling, I might end up finding mistress to do it with.”

”You dare?!” Elizabeth immediately glared.

Heinrich choked on his words and awkwardly coughed, ”Ahem, I was only joking. Of course, I only have you in my eyes.”

”Hmph! That better be the case!”

Elizabeth stormed off.

Heinrich was in between tears and laughter as he looked towards the west and sighed, 'Haiz… my son, do you know how much your father envies you?'
