The portal closed behind Shang, and he found himself on top of a hill.
There weren't many people visible in Shang's Spirit Sense, but the few that he could see were not even powerful enough to know about the Lightning Manor.
It seemed like Amarius had sent Shang to a rather isolated area.
"Young Master Shang," the distant Starlight Queen transmitted to Shang. He didn't know where she was. "Are you willing to follow my orders for the next battles?"
The Starlight Queen's voice was very professional and friendly, but exactly that showed how she felt towards Shang.
She had completely distanced herself from him, treating him as a complete stranger one would meet on the street.
However, Shang preferred it that way. Like this, he wouldn't need to listen to another sermon about respect from her.
In a strange way, she reminded Shang a bit of Mervin.
