Alex, leaving Ann and Noctura out in the empire, moved toward the centralmost part of the imperial capital of the Phoenixia Empire.
The empire only housed spirits, elementals, and phoenixes, but it was open for all to visit.
It wasn't like the Black Tortoise Empire, where entry was denied for some specific races.
Although both Ann and Noctura wanted to tag along for whatever Alex was going to do, they didn't voice it out and waited for him in the city.
They stared at Alex's receding back which was slowly getting mixed in the crowd until it completely disappeared.
It was strange that no one was able to identify him or pass him a second glance, even though the guy's looks screamed for attention, but they soon waved it off and started roaming around the city.
That was until a voice was heard, calling out to Ann from behind.
"What might your name be, beauty?"
Ann, however, ignored those words and fastened the pace she was moving in.
