"The head's daughter?" Glosan suddenly asked out loud as he gulped. He knew that the person that had killed his servant was marked by a Low God, but for that Low God to actually be the daughter of a Supreme, that was not something he had expected in the least.
"Dammit, what should I do?!" Glosan asked out loud before jumping from his chair as another shout rocked the castle.
"Glosan, I have been patient so far!"
"You have 5 seconds to show yourself, otherwise I will not be polite anymore!" Azaleon shouted as he showed a serious expression on his face whilst standing in front of the castle.
Glosan gritted his teeth before putting on a robe and calming himself.
'There's nothing to worry about, the market is alive, it is me that has suffered from this little event, losing a Transcendent servant, there is nothing that they can do to me, except ask me questions about what happened on that planet.' Glosan thought before his servants opened the castle gate, all of them worried about who was outside.
"Ah, you must be Azaleon, the steward of the Heavenly Charms Mansion, I have been expecting you, please, come in," Glosan said with a charming face as his slightly overweight body stood a couple of meters in front of Azaleon.
Even though Glosan, wearing his dark purple robe, was about half a meter taller than Azaleon who stood at 1.9 meters tall, his presence alone seemed minuscule compared to the man. After all, Glosan was an average Mid-God, while Azaleon was one of the strongest High Gods that stood at the top of the realm, being equal to beings such as Zeus and the like.
"So you have been expecting me, you say?" Azaleon asked Glosan who nervously smiled at him.
"Of course, I have been notified of what has happened, I am infuriated to find out that one of my servants dared attack one that is in the leveling realm, I have even sent a servant of mine to Earth to check up on the boy in order to find out if he is fine or not," Glosan said with a heavy face, showing that he was truly worried and angered by the actions of the Transcendent.
"Fortunately, it seems the boy is alright, I am truly relieved to find that out," Glosan said before turning to the side and motioning for Azaleon to enter the castle, to which the man simply nodded before walking in.
"Make sure these gentlemen are comfortable while we speak, and get the chef to cook the best meals we have, I do not wish for our esteemed guests to leave without being fully fed and having a taste of our finest wine and beverages," Glosan told the servants who nodded hurriedly before being stopped by Azaleon.
"There is no need for that sir Glosan, we won't be staying for long."
"Oh, but sir Azaleon, please, I insist," Glosan said with a warm smile on his face before Azaleon nodded.
"So be it, we will be in your care."
Glosan's face blossomed with a smile upon hearing Azaleon's words, enthusiastic that the man seemingly harbored no ill will toward him.
The worst thing that could happen was if Azaleon and the Heavenly Charms Mansion were angry at him and wished to take revenge, which although he knew was almost impossible to happen as they had lost nothing from the exchange, was still something that worried Glosan.
Seeing as how Azaleon was calm and collected, and even allowed his men to stay in the castle, Glosan was relieved as he knew that things were not as bad as he had thought.
The two men went to the top of the castle before sitting inside a spacious office that Glosan had. The inside of the office was larger than what should be possible, which meant that a spatial array was installed in it. The office was as large as a basketball court, and Azaleon sat down on a sofa in the middle of the office where a large table and multiple sofas were placed.
"You must have come to find out why exactly my servant had dared attack a person that is in the leveling realm, correct?" Glosan asked Azaleon who simply nodded.
"I wish I could help, but I do not know exactly, I can only offer you some insight as to why he might have done it, after all, his mission on that planet was a personal one, I had nothing to do with it as he had asked my permission to go there a while ago, he had probably spent about half a year there till now," Glosan said as he poured Azaleon and then himself some wine.
"It's the Seven Deity Wine, please, do try it, I make it myself," Glosan said as Azaleon raised an eyebrow.
"Seven Deity Wine, the process of creating it is not simple, I am impressed that you are making your own," Azaleon said before taking a sip and slowly enjoying the wine.
"Hmmm, all seven fruits can be tasted immediately, and that lasting taste, you used Lunar essence in it?" Azaleon asked Glosan who nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes, I have an essence capturing array installed, the essence it can capture and store is quite good quality."
"Impressive," Azaleon said as he took a look at the wine while Glosan smiled widely, this time, the smile came from the bottom of his heart.
He enjoyed drinking, and anyone praising his wine-making skills immediately put him in his good grace, not to mention that the person praising him was the steward of the Heavenly Charms Mansion, a place well known for their exquisite beverages that are well-known and sought-after throughout the universe.
"Anyway, I do know that Plor, the Transcendent in question, was looking for something that he believed was on the planet, the person he attacked either managed to find clues that could lead to the item, or he had perhaps obtained the item itself, leading to Plor attacking him and trying to take it from him."
"An item that a Transcendent valued so much that he would attack someone in the leveling realm, whatever it is, it is probably quite valuable," Azaleon said with a calm expression on his face, fully aware that Glosan was not telling him the entire story.
Whatever the item in question was, if it truly existed, was not something that simple. It might even be something that Glosan himself wanted, which, if it was true, could lead to a lot of trouble for Beast in the future.
'But still, for an item that even a Mid-God would covet to be on such a planet, that seems highly unlikely.' Azaleon thought as he took another sip of the wine.
'More likely, the item was something that the Transcendent wanted, or it was perhaps something that might lead to a thing that Glosan himself wished to obtain.'
'No matter, whatever it was, he knows better now than to try doing anything to the boy, if he did, then he would be facing the wrath of the Young Miss, which would, in turn, cause him to face the wrath of my lord, and the entire Heavenly Charms Mansion, something that a mere Mid-God would have no way of surviving, not even with the help of the Alliance.' Azaleon thought before exchanging some words with Glosan.
The two men spoke about wines and some other topics, not even once mentioning anything about Beast and what had previously happened. There was no need to do so, the topic was closed, Glosan was saying that he had no idea why his servant attacked him, and it didn't matter if he did indeed now, the servant was dead, and Beast was fine.
The one that had lost the most from this was Glosan as he had lost a servant, and potentially a valuable item. Since he was staying silent about the item, Azaleon believed that it was not that important to him.
After all, if the item in question was truly important then he would have told them about it, he would have at least told them that the Transcendent was looking for something on his orders, and he would have probably offered to pay for it, allowing him to possess the item, if they decided to agree with the offer.
With him not doing so, Azaleon believed that the Transcendent was more worried about the said item than Glosan was. Perhaps it was something that, although immensely valuable to a Transcendent, was merely a trinket that Glosan wanted, or perhaps he was sent on the planet as a form of punishment, being forced to look for something that Glosan would like and allow him to return.
Gods could be very fickle and it was nothing out of the ordinary for them to send out their servants to do some menial tasks just because they wanted to.
Azaleon left the castle after about an hour. He left with his men and exchanged some pleasantries with Glosan, who wished him a safe trip before they parted ways.
