In the blink of an eye, two and a half years passed!
At no point in the past few years had Minos moved from the Spatial Kingdom to the royal palace of the Flowers Kingdom, where his black hole quietly revolved on its own axis.
At the same time, the women of that state continued to watch over that region of space as before, using subordinates, while the most important local influences continued their usual routines.
Adele had been meditating throughout this period, preparing herself so that when she beat Minos, she could immediately reproduce with him and have her prize.
Meanwhile, Bridget was training as if her sister would lose, preparing to face Minos on his return.
No one expected him to be gone that long. So, after years there, people started to think that Minos would actually stay inside his black hole until he reached the end of the 8th stage. Only then would he have a chance to win the princess challenge!
