After careful consideration, Violet decided to reveal the gathered information to the two sisters.
It’s a question that Leila and Rene will face sooner or later. Instead of hiding it from them, it’s better to tell them earlier, so they can be mentally prepared.
“Sorry for the long wait. This matter is quite complicated, actually...”
The two sisters listened silently as the Priestess explained the whole story, including the buried secrets in the dust of history. Their expressions gradually became intense.
“So... my sister and I have become mythical beings? Even the bloodline of gods and deities?”
Rene, with her pure and introverted temperament, in contrast to her sister, who has long white hair, was the first to react this time.
Leila, on the other hand, still had a dazed expression, looking like a hardworking employee earning a monthly salary of five thousand, working six days a week, with no year-end bonus, suddenly winning a ten million jackpot.
The priestess could only nod helplessly.
“That’s probably the case. You don’t have to look at me with those strange eyes. The bloodline is something you already had. I just coincidentally purified and magnified it a bit.”
“You’re making it sound so casual...”
Leila chuckled, glancing at the shiny white wings she had just released behind her. She reached out to touch the other pair of delicate wings extending from her hair, covering her ears like decorations.
“I’ve felt something was off recently. Not only did my strength suddenly leap, but even without deliberate training, my physical abilities have been slowly improving at a much faster rate than before. And these new wings with an unclear purpose... If what Miss Violet says is true, it does make sense.”
“The time is getting late.”
The two sisters exchanged glances and bowed to Violet.
“We... need some time to sort out our emotions, so we won’t disturb your rest, Lady Violet.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow?”
“See you tomorrow.”
Watching Leila and Rene leave the room and close the door behind them, Violet didn’t speak to comfort them. Such extraordinary experiences, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate or a wild chicken transforming into a phoenix, are not easy for anyone to accept all at once. Let them think it over themselves.
As for what comes next—whether they choose to continue following Violet or use this opportunity to strive for status in the Azure Sky Kingdom or pursue other paths—it’s up to them.
Just like the philosophy the Priestess has always upheld.
Who can say for sure what the future holds?
...
The next morning.
Violet, accompanied by her little dragon, left her room and descended the wooden stairs to the first-floor hall. Many members of the mission were already gathered there.
Leila, Rene, Edwina, and others were sitting together having breakfast. Seeing Miss Priestess appear, they quickly waved to her.
Since everyone was familiar with each other, there was no need for formalities. Violet and Xiao Guang went to get some self-service breakfast and joined them.
The Criv Kingdom produces abundant vegetables and fruits. The breakfast prepared for the Human United Kingdom mission in this dedicated inn was quite good. The chefs must have used fresh ingredients prepared early in the morning.
Violet has always had a light taste, only serving herself a bowl of porridge, a braised egg, a few pieces of fruit, and something similar to a fried dough stick, but not as greasy, seemingly a side dish made from the unique ingredients of this place.
As for Xiao Guang, being a pure-blooded dragon, naturally, he grabbed a chaotic pile of meat dishes. Since she could finish it all, everyone has their own dietary preferences, and Violet has no intention of commenting.
“Lady Violet, Lady Xiao Guang, good morning.”
The sisters sitting across from them put down their utensils and respectfully greeted the priestess and Xiao Guang. Violet nodded in response with a smile.
“Good morning. How was your rest last night?”
With many people around and various eyes watching, Violet didn’t want to openly discuss the secret of Leila and Rene’s bloodline reversion. Instead, she used a more indirect way of speaking.
“Well, after calming down, it’s not that difficult to accept. Anyway, it’s a good thing for us, no need for Lady Violet to worry.”
Leila smiled slightly, sitting beside her, and the more introverted sister, Rene, nodded continuously.
“Really, as long as you can come to terms with it, that’s all that matters. Alright, let’s eat first.”
Violet could tell that the sisters were not just using these words to appease her, they genuinely believed in what they said. So, there’s no need to continue worrying about their mental state.
In the end, Miss Priestess thought she had a certain responsibility in this matter, and Leila and Rene were like her half-attendants or friends. Although Violet didn’t want to be bothered, she was not heartless. With Edwina sitting beside the priestess, the five of them chatted while eating and quickly finished breakfast.
At this moment, the head of the mission, Miss Felina, dressed in formal attire, had also arrived. Since Violet mentioned yesterday that the “Southern Disaster” would not cause trouble anymore, it was safe to depart. Felina had no more reservations.
Although the leaders of the Criv Kingdom’s military were visibly skeptical about the explanations given here, the mission from the Human United Kingdom had no need to be constrained by the suspicions of subordinate military leaders. If Felina insisted on leaving, they had no way to stop her.
So, at around 8 o’clock in the morning, after all the members had gathered, the mission left the inn and continued their journey.
The convoy moved along the main road of Anilo City from north to south and soon arrived at the city’s southern gate. Because Felina had arranged the itinerary the previous night, the city’s guards had cleared the road and were stationed on the sides to prevent any unexpected incidents.
It’s worth mentioning that the Criv Kingdom had its challenges. Since the mission’s arrival, they had been busy and attentive, fearing even the slightest negligence or mishap.
No choice, the Human United Kingdom was the big boss.
Sitting in the carriage, Violet, bored, lifted the curtain and stuck half of her head out, looking outside.
Although it was still morning, the news of the Human United Kingdom mission passing through here was widely known, and many residents of Anilo City were already waiting curiously on both sides of the road.
Quite a few people even held various banners and flowers, cheering loudly to demonstrate the enthusiasm of the people of Anilo City.
The “friendly” warning from the city guard was still fresh in her memory. If she hadn’t already visited once and experienced the true local customs, Violet might have believed that this was a city even more warm and welcoming than within the Human United Kingdom.

Thinking about it, it was probably arranged by the Criv Kingdom. This kind of operation was not surprising.
What surprised Violet, however, was that as they approached the southern city gate, she actually saw a large group of adventurers in the crowd, enthusiastically sending them off. Leading the group was Mr. Epunia, the former “Battle Maniac,” with his triangular beast ears, tall stature, and unmistakable presence.
This time, he didn’t wear any props to change his appearance. Instead, he showed his true face, and the adventurers around him didn’t seem to mind.
Thinking back, there was a good chance that a lot had happened on his side after they parted ways.
Everyone has their own life, and this guy has probably gotten what he wanted.
Miss Mira, the mixed-blood cat girl, stood beside Epunia. When Violet saw them, they happened to turn their gaze over.
Mira’s eyes lit up, and then she waved towards this side, showing a bit of reluctance, as if saying goodbye. Epunia, on the other hand, appeared much more nonchalant. He just cupped his hand, smiled, and silently mouthed a sentence.
“Safe travels, esteemed lady.”
After that, the convoy passed through the city gate and left Anilo City.
