Alvana and Aster were walking around the palace when Alvana suddenly noticed something approaching at high speed, resembling a person carrying an object. Alvana quickly moved out of the way while pulling Aster with him, but somehow, the object stopped just inches in front of them. The princess looked at Alvana and then at the pearl. After a few moments, she turned back to Alvana and couldn't help but admit that he was handsome. "I'm sorry for bumping into you, miss," Alvana quickly apologised to the princess. The princess composed herself and replied,I was shocked by the princess's response because, in past encounters, no one had ever survived direct contact with her; many believed that Alvana would soon be dead. The primal pearl, upon coming into contact with Alvana, shone so brightly that the princess had to quickly cover it. Meanwhile, Alvana continued on his journey, unaware of the light emanating from the pearl. Immediately, Elena left the courtyard and rushed back to her room. The princess, sensing Elena's presence, dismissed it, distracted by the pleasure of the encounter. After Elena returned to her room, she quickly pulled Alvana and Aster aside and told them it was time to leave. Why can't I be left in peace?" Aster grumbled, sounding like a typical 13 year old, but he still followed them. Elena and the others ran swiftly out of the palace as they made their way to the forest to activate the primal portal. But how could it be that easy?
Not long after Elena left the princess courtyard, the princess noticed that the the pearl was missing and out of anger, she killed the man with her
"Guards!!" The princess yelled angrily.
The guards, who were still oblivious to the situation, were jolted by the sudden yellow by the princess, and they quickly rushed to her. But some weren't unlucky.
The first set of guards that got to the princess were immediately beheaded by the princess hidden assassin, while the second set of guards, on getting to the princess, immediately cowered in fear as the killing intent emanating out of the princess was enough to make them die a thousand times over.
The princess smiled evilly and said
"It seems I've been too easy on you guys, right?".
the guards who were already peeing themselves and cursing their luck couldn't help but look down after her question
"So you people don't want to answer!!!. I won't punish you now; I want you all to get me the primal pearl within 24 hours; if not, you and your family would get a once in a lifetime chance of meeting Hades!!!!"
The guards leader, out of fear, quickly ordered their platton to move and get the pearl.
Meanwhile, the princess took out a map; on the map was a blue mark moving. The princess gave the maao to her hidden assassin and told them to get the pearl no matter what.
Elena and co. Who Didn't know they were already exposed rushed towards the forest while fighting the beasts they met on the way.
The assassins who had already closed in on Elena and Co hid their presence and observed Elena and Co while waiting for the princess to meetup with them.
