[Elven''s Pce]


    Walking out of herrge bath, her body still wet, Typhania just stood still and let one of her servants wipe the water covering her body.


    Her perfect and alluring body was only hidden from sight after one of her servants covered it with a short bathrobe that barely covered her butt. This bathrobe was dark gold matching her beautiful hair.


    Walking forward in the bathroom, she sat on afy reclining chair in front of arge mirror and let two servants pamper her as theybed her hair, did her nails, and massaged her feet.


    This was one of the few guilty pleasures of Typhania, getting pampered to relieve stress. It always brought her joy to feel herself being cared for. A guilty pleasure she had not felt in a while as she was busy nning things for the boy in the prophecy. And now that she got a short time to enjoy herself, she would not be shy and thoroughly enjoy this asion.


    "Ah. Yes, there, there."


    With a hot sigh closer to a moan that made the servants and her adopted daughter and disciple blush in shame, Typhania closed her eyes infort as her scalp was being massaged.


    Near the bathroom door, Stefania Elvira Elfied was kneeling as if reflecting on something.


    ''''How was it? Did you manage to root all the spies nted?"


    Finally, Typhania was in the mood to talk, and she asked her daughter, who nodded to indicate that she had taken care of the hidden spies in the empire. If it weren''t for them, Elder Faranal wouldn''t have been able to easily infiltrate the empire, almost seeding in his mission of robbing them of that key. Well, Typhania knew he woulde back eventually because she had nned this; it was why she didn''t send her special unit after him when he escaped from the prison back then.


    ''''I see. That''s good. By the way, where is your sister?" Typhania asked, not feeling Rhea''s presence anywhere. She had a bad feeling.


    And as expected, Stefania''s following words confirmed this bad feeling.


    ''''Rhea went out to y. She said she was bored; she woulde back in a couple of days. I don''t know where she went.''''


    ''''That damn little girl, doing whatever she wants. I thought I had forbidden any of you, especially you two, from going outside with how chaotic the situation is? What if you get targeted by that organization, and they brainwash you?''''


    Facing Typhania''s outburst, there was nothing Stefania could say as she understood well her mother''s worries. Because she stopped their chess piece from acquiring that key which was vital for unsealing their master, the chaos organization must be fuming and would try everything to get this key. One of the methods they might use was brainwashing, as Typhania had said. They might kidnap one of them and brainwash her to betray Typhania and retrieve the key. It was why Typhania had forbidden them from going out for the time being. If she could keep the key to herself, she would have done that a long time ago; only a special environment filled with mana such a dungeon could hold such a key, and the only ones capable of going into this dungeon were members of the council, Stefania, Rhea and naturally Typhania. If she gave her blessing to someone, that person might also be able to go into that dungeon.


    ''''Hah! Forget it. Let''s hope she does quicklye back. It would be best if you put her into quarantine until I came. I will leave for the human continent to go meet up with Alex. We mighte visitingter, but I will be a quick one.'''' Typhania said before standing up and letting her servants help her put on a green one-piece dress.


    ''''I understand, master.''''


    ''''Hum?'''' Typhania frowned upon hearing how Stefania just called her, and thetter immediately corrected herself.


    ''''I meant I understood, mother.''''


    ''''That is better. I leave everything in your care. I''m off then.'''' Typhania said before vanishing, and before her body couldpletely vanish, she had changed into her other persona. Elseria, the guild master of the Adventurer guild.


    ?????


    Avalon, the Adventurer guild''s headquarter.


    With Incursio on his back, Alex arrived in the capital, and stepping across the void; they arrived on the highest floor where surprisingly, Elseria had been waiting.


    When she saw the unconscious girl behind Alex''s back, she frowned because this girl''s face reminded her of Zero she had killed a couple of days ago. It didn''t take long before she could connect the dots and knew this girl''s identity.


    ''''How interesting. You will never stop surprising me, won''t you? First, you seeded in your rescue mission, and now this? Tell me what happened.'''' Elseria said after offering Alex a seat and tea.


    Alex nodded and told her how he rescued Incursio and his fight against Lord Thanos.


    ''''I see. Judging from your words, this Lord Thanos or whatever is the second inmand, that dragon, Bahamut''s subordinate.'''' Elseria mutated.


    ''''Bahamut? Is that the dragon''s name?" Alex asked as it was his first time hearing the ck dragon''s name. For a long time, he had wondered what would be his name; he had never thought he would hear such a familiar name.


    If he recalled correctly, in Arabic mythology, Bahamut, Bahamoot is a giant winged dragon or snake. It is sometimes described as a sea monster that stretches the support structure that supports thend, ording to Zakariya al-Qazwini.


    While in most of the fantasy books he had read, Bahamut was often portrayed as the king of dragons; he wondered if this Bahamut would be like in those stories. Maybe he was the king of dragons; this thought amused Alex. He thought there would be no way it was true.


    ''''Yes, Bahamut, he called himself the King of dragons, the future emperor,'''' Elseria recalled how that dragon bragged about this title for one hour straight; it was one of the reasons why they hated him.


    ''''Say what?" Alex was speechless.
