550 The Late King's Study
By concentrating her Light Solidification in the right areas, Astoria could wield the light beam without burning herself and losing the light beam's destructive power at the same time.
"Unfortunately, my comprehension of the Light Law is still too shallow. It takes too much time to draw this much light power... My opponents wouldn't give me the chance to charge such an attack,' Astoria mused.
Nevertheless, as long as she increased her comprehension of the Light Law, she could gather light power at greater speeds and quantity.
By then, she won't even need to wield the Light Law as a lightsaber weapon; she should be able to fire it like an artillery.
Even so, Astoria felt this was still a very primitive application of the Light Law. The Light Law's potential shouldn't be limited to this. Thus, she had to research it further. Only then could she understand the extent of her ability at her level of comprehension.
"I should continue to meditate on the Light Law, Astoria decided.
Unfortunately, she soon noticed nighttime had already arrived, causing her to be surprised. She didn't expect the whole day to pass by so quickly.
She had been too immersed in her comprehension to have sensed the slow passage of time.
Shortly after putting on a fresh blue dress, she fixed her hair and then left the room. Immediately, she noticed a male palace servant waiting for her outside.
At the same time, the male palace servant was dazzled by Astoria's appearance. He felt like the imperial princess's beauty had become more refined and majestic since he last saw her.
She was like the definition of royalty.
"What is it?" Astoria asked with a frown, slightly displeased with the male palace servant's bold staring.
Fortunately, his gaze only had honest appreciation and respect and not a hint of obscenity. Otherwise, she would have punished him severely on the spot.
"Ah!" the male palace servant quickly recovered from his dazzlement in shock before lowering his head fearfully, "My deepest apologies, Your Imperial Highness."
"His Divinity wished to see you, Your Imperial Highness. His Divinity is currently waiting in his private study," he informed shortly after.
"Oh? Alright, I got it," Astoria acknowledged with a nod before dismissing the male palace servant and heading right over to Vaan's location.
The door to Vaan's private study was left open. Thus, the two immediately saw each other despite Vaan noticing her approach much earlier.
"It seems last night has benefited you greatly." Vaan stood up with a smile, striding over to greet her.
Before Astoria could respond, Vaan grabbed her waist and spun her around for a sudden kiss, taking her by surprise.
Nevertheless, her heart leaped with excitement.
Perhaps because Vaan's touch reminded her of their passion last night, her knees immediately lost their strength. Her bodily temperatures rose with her increasing heartbeat, leading to irregular breathing. She panted softly with a look of desire.
Vaan didn't do much, but Astoria was already in the mood to continue last night's activities.
However, Vaan quickly recalled her extremely high resilience and tenacity, so he released her from his embrace before patting her on the butt with a smile.
"Come with me. I have a surprise for you," Vaan stated wryly.
The so-called Battle Maiden of Holy Light wasn't just ever victorious on the battlefield; she also seemed ever victorious in bed wars.
It was best that he didn't tempt her, lest she could really squeeze him dry this day.
Vaan didn't think it was necessary since the situation had never occurred to him in the past, but perhaps his balls also needed tempering.
Meanwhile, Astoria blinked in confusion before rubbing the spot where Vaan smacked with a look of wonder.
It made her heart skip just now; she wanted him to do it again.
However, she was also curious about the surprise Vaan mentioned. Thus, she simply nodded obediently and blindly followed him out of the private study like a little duckling.
Suddenly, Astoria sensed a pair of eyes on her, prompting her to look up and notice Topaz hidden in Vaan's hair with her arms crossed, giving her a dirty look.
Woman in heat, what were you thinking about doing with my master while I am here? - Topaz's eyes seemed to have silently conveyed.
Ahem!
"Oh hey, Tia, It's been some time since we last met, haven't we? I didn't see you there," Astoria said after coughing with mild embarrassment. "Do you still remember me?"
"Kyuu, kyu, kyu!" Topaz replied unhappily with puffed cheeks, telling Astoria not to try and butter her up in order to steal her master from her. It wasn't going to work on her.
Although Astoria didn't exactly understand what Topaz was saying, she could kind of guess the gist of it.
As such, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Vaan's earth spirit fairy had mistakenly thought she wanted to steal him away from her when she was looking at him with desire, wanting to eat him up.
Astoria was a bit tongue-tied for words.
She couldn't really explain adult matters to the innocent and cute little earth spirit fairy. It would corrupt her.
"Don't worry. No one is trying to steal Vaan from you, Tia," Astoria assured with a smile, caressing Topaz's head with a single finger.
At the same time, Topaz grimaced grumpily as she tried shrugging off Astoria's finger with her arms crossed.
"Kyu, kyuu!" Topaz spouted stubbornly, saying she didn't believe her.
Astoria fell into a dilemma regarding how to go about placating Tia. Her heart was willing, but she didn't know what to say or do.
As such, she turned to Vaan for help.
However, she soon noticed he had stopped in front of her father's old study room, which had been kept clean and properly maintained in the past three hundred years.
"What are we doing here?" Astoria couldn't help but ask, feeling a little sentimental due to her memories of the location. It was the same as she remembered it.
"To look for something," Vaan vaguely answered.
Astoria furrowed her brows with doubt.
What did looking for something in her father's old study room have anything to do with his surprise for her? - she wondered.
