As Seraphina made her way towards the imperial capital, she was unaware of her sister's thoughts. She only wanted to hurry, to help Ansel in her own way.
To avoid being detected by Ansel, she "cleverly" avoided using the teleportation array directly to the capital. Instead, she used a teleportation array to a large city, then walked to the next city before using another array, slowly making her way to the capital.
During the journey back to the village from Red Frost City after the Great Cold Wave, Seraphina truly came to understand the world. The future version of herself, who had grown into the invincible Sky Wolf Emperor, had also matured through long and arduous wanderings. Seraphina believed that she should travel across the empire, seeking powerful opponents and enemies to grow stronger and better assist Ansel.
However, this meant leaving Ansel's side... Ansel couldn't possibly follow her everywhere. This thought made Seraphina hesitate.
