Chapter 7
When Yurie left and dark night came, Eshika sat down on her wooden chair and crossed her legs.
While it’s important to get her revenge, Eshika’s main focus right now is building her inner strength.
The aura here was thicker than in the martial world, but it was still difficult for her body, which had never trained before in her life..
She breathed in and out, gathered her inner qi, and circled around to clear the way for the inner qi to pass through.
He had already spent a week taking even that first step.
‘It’s not that easy.’
If one were to train in the manner of the martial arts, one might be able to go faster and smoother, but if one were to force oneself to build up one’s inner qi with a frail body, there was a high chance that one would be injured.
In other words, her body is too fragile, and if she trained in an improper way, she might become disabled.
Therefore, she decided to gradually increase her strength through the proper methods used by her previous sect, even though it was not like her.
Sella, who has been threatened by her, has been consistently serving pretty good food, so she nourishes herself and trains with a strong spirit.
Of course, once the moment comes when her skills are sufficiently developed, the speed will increase from then on.
It is not difficult to find her way again.
‘From the first peak of Hundred Thousand Mountains.’
Eshika focused her mind on a single step and gathered her internal energy.
She then began to slowly circulate her internal energy and clear her energy channels.
It was a very difficult process, like clearing a path in a thicket of bushes, but Eshika focused her mind.
Accumulated waste products were flowing out of her body along with sweat.
“… … .”
Eshika’s expression, which had been grunting for a while, gradually became more relaxed.
Her level of difficulty was extreme, but she had succeeded in opening the first passage of her inner energy into her weak body.
Even this was such a difficult task.
After a while Eshika opened her eyes to the moonlight shining outside her window.
Her clothes were a little wet, but her skin was clearer and softer than before.
Eshika said to herself as she stretched her body.
“I need to take a shower.”

“I will see you off to the imperial palace.” Kallian said as he sent off the uninvited guest
In response to the formal remark, Resvan raised his left hand in refusal.
“Thank you for your words, but I decline.”
Lesvan Deon Lucane, crown prince of the Terresian Empire.
A man of peerless beauty, with a tall, sturdy physique similar to Kallian’s, black hair, and vivid golden eyes.
He remained unmarried until he reached the age of 29.
There were many rumors as to why he remained unmarried past his prime, but the most credible was that he had never found a woman as enchanting as war.
After the ‘War of Conquest of Eunivs’, Resban was called a Warmonger.
The reason for his visit today is that he has been ordered by the Emperor to inspect Duke Klaus’s supplies for the famine.
“It is only important that the supplies can be carefully guarded and inspected.”
Kallian’s eyebrows twitched at the cold voice of Lesvan.
It meant taking care of it thoroughly so you wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore.
Soon Lesvan mounted his white horse with agility that did not match his large frame, and his blue cloak flapped loudly.
Kallian stared at Lesvan with an uneasy expression and then bowed his head to show respect.
“Then have your way Little Sun of Terresian.”
Lesvan nodded and started to run his horse.
His black hair blew in the cool night wind.
His horse galloped, and the scenery of the trees stretched out was constantly changing.
The path of the Klaus family was very well paved.
I heard that the duke was negligent in his management until he got married, but after marriage, his wealth increased considerably.
‘Was it Brigitte Baron’s daughter?’
Strengthening the shortcomings of one’s family through marriage is common.
Lesvan, who was frowning as he rode his horse, suddenly grabbed the reins tightly.
“…”
This is because he felt a presence nearby.
When his horse came to a halt, Lesvan dismounted and landed lightly.
He felt like he should check it out, even though it was still Duke Klaus’s territory.
It was when he went a little deeper into the bush.
In the dense forest, a lake appeared, filled with half moons and the Milky Way.
And in the middle of the lake, he saw someone’s back.
“….”
Her silver hair whipped in the gentle breeze, and the drops of water dripping from her wet white robe glistened like jewels.
She slowly turned her head as if she felt Lesvan’s gaze.
The bridge of her nose was shadowed by a beautiful jawline, and beneath her fine, painted eyebrows, blue stars seemed to twinkle within the walls.
All he could see was the side, but Lesvan stood there, eyebrows drawn together, staring at her.
And then, with a swish, her body disappeared into the lake.
“… !”
Lesvan immediately took his steps and stood close to the lake.
The lake was so calm, as if what he had seen was an illusion.
There was no trace of the woman anywhere.
He stood for a long time taking in the scenery of the lake with his cool, deep golden eyes.
