Meanwhile, at the imperial family's residence...
Ruth was lying by the main pool of her residence, taking her daily sunbath while looking at her belly with pride.
The opportunity to carry the children of Minos in her womb was incredible for her, and she felt even better than when she had advanced to the 9th stage.
Thinking about her babies, who would be born between 3 and 5 years, she couldn't help but long for the day when she could see their faces.
But Ruth was not alone in this daily moment of hers. Her mother and sister were around too.
With the migration of the Gray Clouds Sect to the Black Plain years ago, Ruth's family had already lived in Dry City for several years.
They usually all had many problems to deal with, and even though they lived so close to each other, they didn't have much time to see each other.
