Chapter 351: Arrival of the Queen and the Princess

"Your Majesty, welcome to Academy City."

"No need to be so respectful, Headmistress Wave. I'm not here in an official visit."

Wave nodded with a business-like look, showing the minimum politeness required to the Queen.

However, anyone that knew her well enough could notice that she was not very pleased with her visit.

As the ruler of the strongest human kingdom, the Queen of Alterna also noticed it. However, she did not mind it.

Anyway, she wasn't here on an official visit. She just wanted to find her son.

"I have prepared a place for you, Your Majesty. It's a mansion near the Great Library. Please, follow me."

"No need, Headmistress. I know you are someone very busy and I don't want to waste your time. Just sent one of your subordinates to guide me. That will be enough."

"I understand. Ellen, help Her Majesty with her accommodations."

"Understood, headmistress. Your Majesty, please follow me."

The Queen nodded and followed the young woman as her bodyguards protected her.

But when the Queen was about to leave, she stopped abruptly and turned around to look at the headmistress.

"By the way, Headmistress, I'm here this time to find someone. One of your students. Do you think you can help me with it?"

"Oh?" Wave narrowed her caramel-colored eyes. "Can I know his name?"

" Glenn. Glenn Skysword."

Wave stared at the queen for several seconds before shaking her head apologetically.

"I'm sorry, headmistress. But there is no student with that name in this city."

"Is it so?" The queen nodded and turned around, not asking anymore.

Wave stared at the back of the queen until she was gone. When she could not see the queen anymore, she heaved a long sigh and closed her eyes.

" That kid sure brought me a big problem."

"You don't plan to help her?" A voice asked from behind her. It belonged to a golden-haired fox girl who had suddenly appeared without anyone noticing.

Wave shrugged indifferently.

"Why should I? The boy is now in my city, so he is one of my students. Plus You don't want it, right?"

Eve said nothing, however, the way her eyes narrowed explained everything.

A chuckle escaped from the headmistress.

"You sure show a lot of interest for that boy. However, you should know you can't stop him from meeting her, right?"

Eve stayed silent.

Just at that moment, a voice came from behind them.

"You should not worry about that. Even if they meet, Bloed will not return with her."

Wave and Eve turned around at the same time and raised an eyebrow in surprise when they saw the newcomer.

It was a beautiful young woman around twenty-something years old wearing a white nun habit that covered her entire body. Behind her, a two-meters tall knight in heavy armor followed silently.

"Charise, huh Did you see that with your powers?"

Charise shook her head. "Chaos is approaching to the continent. Every day, the things the goddess can see are less and less. Plus, many gods are still suppressing my goddess's sight. Right now, the future she can see is limited."

Wave and Eve looked at each other with serious and grave expressions.

It seemed that the age of blood and war was unavoidable.

"Charise, why are you here?" Eve asked expressionlessly at that moment. She knew Charise better than Wave, so she understood that she would not appear here without a motive.

"I just came to see someone. She should arrive soon."

"Mm?"

Confused, Wave and Eve looked at each other. But just then, Wave's communication stone was activated again.

Wave was startled and immediately checked it. After that, she looked at Charise with a strange expression.

"As expected of the Saintess of Fate."

"It looks like she is here." Charise smiled.

"She is." Wave nodded. "Come, let's greet the Princess."

Five minutes later, the three of them meet a beautiful young girl at the entrance of the city.

Long black hair, eyes as dark as the night itself, and a destructive aura around her that seemed to burn reality itself.

The girl just finished the entrance exam, defeating her examiner with just a wave of her hand. Something shocking for a girl of her age.

" Truly worthy of her fame." Charise could not help but sigh when she saw the way the girl passed the exam.

Wave and Eve nodded. They had seen a lot of geniuses in their lives, but even then they could not deny that this girl was astonishing.

The girl, Eres Skysword, was just sixteen years old.

However, her cultivation was already at the A-Rank.

As for her battle strength, even Wave and Eve could not see through it completely.

"World Burning Princess Witch. What an incredible child." Wave sighed.

Eve nodded silently, her gaze was completely fixed on the girl.

Actually, no matter how talented Eres was or her identity as a princess, it was not enough for the three of them to come here.

However, they were a bit curious.

Mainly because she was related to him.

"Come on, let's greet her." Headmistress Wave said and walked towards the black-haired princess.

When Eres saw the three women approaching her, she was startled. However, she quickly put on a respectful and polite expression.

"It's a pleasure to meet the Headmistress of the city, Her excellency Wave Golden."

Wave was not surprised when the princess realized her identity. Her features were so unique and noticeable that anyone would recognize her when in Academy City.

As expected, though, Eres did not recognize Eve and Charise.

"You should be Eres Skysword, right." Wave chuckled. "You are just as talented as the rumors."

"I'm not worthy of your praise, Headmistress."

"Good girl. I just met your mother. I will send someone to lead you to the place where she is staying."

Eres's eyes turned sharp. For an instant, her expression turned much colder than normal.

However, it quickly returned to normal.

"You don't need to worry, Headmistress. I plan to stay somewhere else."

"Oh?" Wave raised an eyebrow curiously before nodding with a smile. "I understand. You should finish your registration then. And welcome to Academy City."

"Thank you." Eres bowed respectfully and left.

Seeing the princess leave, Wave curved her lips up and put on a smile of interest.

"It looks like the Skysword royal family has a lot of problems, huh."

"It looks like that." Charise chuckled. "She should be here to find Bloed as well, just as the queen, but it looks like her relationship with the queen is not good."

"How interesting." Smiling softly, Wave took out her communication stone and used it to give an order to her subordinates.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the Queen and the Princess. I want to know each one of their movements."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wave put the communication stone back in her pocket and sighed.

"Sigh, that boy is truly a magnet for trouble."
