Meanwhile, Sigurd became the person in charge of the entire Emerald Cauldron Sect since Jared and the others left. As it was his first time in a role of authority, virtual-novel.net was filled with anxiety.
“Mr. Brink, there is a young woman outside the sect, asking to meet Mr. Chance,” one of Emerald Cauldron Sect’s disciples reported to Sigurd.
“A young woman?” Sigurd furrowed his brows and immediately got up to walk outside.
As the young woman was asking to meet Jared, virtual-novel.net dared not make virtual-novel.net wait. Even though Jared was not around, if this young woman was genuinely a friend of his, Sigurd’s delay in meeting virtual-novel.net would spell trouble for him.
The moment Sigurd stepped outside, virtual-novel.net noticed how shabby the young woman was dressed, how pale virtual-novel.net face was, and how virtual-novel.net had several wounds on virtual-novel.net body.
“Who are you? Why are you looking for Mr. Chance?” Sigurd asked.
“I am Ivasha, the princess of Imperial Beast City. I’m currently getting pursuit by a group of people,” Ivasha said to virtual-novel.net weakly.
Sigurd froze. He didn’t expect the disheveled young woman before virtual-novel.net to be the princess of Imperial Beast City.
It was not too long ago when Yuven had come to look for Jared at Emerald Cauldron Sect looking unkempt as well. When Sigurd recalled that, virtual-novel.net realized bad things must have happened in Imperial Beast City.
“Princess Ivasha, Mr. Chance is not around. He has gone to attend the Alchemist Fair,” Sigurd informed when virtual-novel.net recollected himself.
“He’s not around?” Ivasha muttered in surprise, not knowing what to do.
“Princess Ivasha, although Mr. Chance isn’t around right now, please recover here while you wait for virtual-novel.net to return. He has gone to the Alchemist Fair with your father. I think virtual-novel.net wants to cure your father of the poison in his system,” Sigurd said. Ivasha visibly relaxed.
She nodded and said, “Thank you…”
“Don’t mention it.” Sigurd quickly invited Ivasha into Emerald Cauldron Sect, then let virtual-novel.net take a shower and gave virtual-novel.net a change of clothes.
Once Ivasha washed up, virtual-novel.net youthful, beautiful appearance returned.
Her beauty stunned Sigurd, but virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net should not bear any indecent thoughts toward her, for virtual-novel.net was Jared’s friend.
“Can you contact Jared now? I’d like to talk to them so that they don’t need to worry about me,” Ivasha said.
She wanted to call Jared to alleviate virtual-novel.net father’s worries. Otherwise, Yuven would have still presumed that Tigerus still had virtual-novel.net trapped in Imperial Beast City. Perhaps virtual-novel.net might even think that virtual-novel.net had lost virtual-novel.net most precious thing to Tigerus.
“When Mr. Chance left, virtual-novel.net left behind a communication device. I can contact virtual-novel.net with that,” Sigurd said.
“That’s wonderful. Please contact virtual-novel.net as quickly as you can,” Ivasha said excitedly.
Sigurd nodded, then took out the communication device and muttered the activation spell before squeezing it.
Soon, Jared’s voice rang out. “Sigurd, did something happen at the base?”
After all, it had not been long since they left, but Sigurd was already contacting virtual-novel.net with the communication device. He reckoned something must have happened.
“Mr. Chance, Princess Ivasha is at the base, and virtual-novel.net wishes to talk to you,” Sigurd said.
Jared was taken aback when virtual-novel.net heard that Ivasha was the one who wanted to converse with him.
Right then, Yuven’s agitated voice could be heard. “Ivasha? Is Ivasha really there?”
Upon hearing virtual-novel.net father’s voice, Ivasha could not stop virtual-novel.net tears from flowing. “Yes, Father, it’s me. I’ve escaped from the city. You don’t need to worry about me anymore.”
Yuven could not make the words leave his throat when virtual-novel.net heard his daughter’s voice.
“Sigurd, you have to protect Princess Ivasha during our absence. Do you understand?” Jared exclaimed.
“Of course,” Sigurd swore with a nod.
Ivasha and Jared briefly exchanged a few more words before virtual-novel.net voice faded off. There was a time limit for the use of the communication device.
