Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Eloise looked up into the distance and saw the figure of a young man who was slowly walking out.

He was very calm, handsome, and tall, looking very charming.

It was none other than Ardim.

As Vivian was talking, he was turning around and heading out at this moment.

It seemed that he was ready to leave.

Eloise’s face suddenly turned pale. She did not know what to say.

On the side, the others observed Eloise’s expression and could not help but look thoughtful.

“Sorry, I want to leave for a while…”

Eloise stood on the spot with a decent smile on her face. Then, she said softly, “Let me pack up, and I’ll be back soon.”

She explained softly.

The people around listened to Eloise’s words and showed a kind expression, expressing their understanding.

Eloise pulled Vivian aside.

“What’s going on?”

Eloise looked at Vivian and quickly asked as they went into a room at the side.

“What did Ardim say?”

“Brother Ardim…”

Standing in front of Eloise, Vivian looked at Eloise and hesitated for a moment. Then, she said, “He said that he was a little tired…”

“Tired…”

Eloise looked incredulous.

The person who used to listen to him would say such words.

For some reason, she felt uncomfortable. After a while, she calmed down and continued, “What about the Life Gem?”

“Didn’t he already buy it?”

She looked at Vivian and quickly said.

The Life Gem was an extremely precious thing that had the function of rinsing and improving their bloodlines.

It was extremely precious to people like them who had extraordinary bloodlines.

Although Eloise was a princess and had royal blood, her mother was only an ordinary noble.

Her bloodline wasn’t strong, so she urgently needed this Life Gem to enhance the power of her bloodline.

But, the preciousness of this thing was just as expected.

Although Eloise was a princess, her wealth was quite limited. It was impossible to buy this Life Gem no matter what.

And that was precisely why she deliberately asked someone to deliver the message for Vivian to inform Ardim that she wanted the Life Gem.

Then, as she had expected, Ardim paid a great price to get the Life Gem.

At this moment, everyone in Kaner knew about it.

Everyone knew that the successor of the Yaru family had spent a lot of money to buy the Life Gem for Princess Eloise, the pearl of the Empire, and to make this beauty laugh.

After that, so long as Eloise invited Ardim to the banquet and hinted a little, he would give her the Life Gem as a birthday gift, according to his personality.

Her goal had been achieved, and everything was going smoothly.

But now…

Eloise stared at Vivian and had a bad feeling.

As expected, the next moment, the ominous premonition came true.

Looking at Eloise, Vivian hesitated for a moment and said, “Brother Ardim said…”

“That gem is not for you, sister…”

‘Not for me?’

Eloise’s vision went black, and her body trembled subconsciously.

Her mind was blank, and she didn’t know what to say.

Everything had changed. She felt that everything wasn’t going smoothly from today onwards.

Ardim seemed to have changed into a different person since just now.

Some things that he should have done had utterly changed at this moment.

But, why?

Eloise’s mind was utterly blank, and she didn’t know what to say. At this moment, her mood inexplicably became terrible.

After a long while, she calmed down, took a deep breath, and walked out. She went to the outside world, then returned to the hall.

Everything in the hall was still familiar, and nothing seemed to have changed.

However, the number of people in the hall had decreased without her noticing.

Moreover, there were people waiting in front of her.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness Eloise…”

A young man walked up and looked at Eloise. He said respectfully, “I have some things to do at home, so I’ll leave first…”

“If there’s a chance later, I’ll come and visit you…”

Eloise’s expression stiffened.

However, she quickly reacted. A decent smile appeared on her face as she said, “Since I’m busy with something, I might as well come back later.”

“It’s alright.” She said softly.

In front of her, the young man smiled at Eloise, bowed slightly, and left.

It wasn’t just the young man in front of her.

After that, a few others stepped forward and left. Eloise’s expression turned sour when she saw this.

After the two of them left, many people were still in the hall. However, the core group was no longer there.

In the manor of Eloise, the most distinguished and influential group was the group led by Ardim.

But now, these people have left. It seemed that they didn’t want to sit here and waste time with her anymore.

Perhaps, in the beginning, these people had come here because of Ardim or wanted to chat with Ardim and have a relationship with him.

Their goal wasn’t Eloise, but Ardim, who had left. And now that Ardim had left, these people naturally had no reason to stay.

Eloise’s expression became even worse thinking of this. At this moment, she felt something more.

In front of her, the guests were still smiling. Everyone was looking at Eloise, giving her gifts and blessings.

Eloise seemed to be the crowd’s core, still looking exceptionally radiant.

However, compared to before, she lacked the contrast of the most honorable figure. At this moment, the radiance on her body seemed to be somewhat dim.

“It seems that there are some problems with Her Highness Eloise’s banquet…”

Outside the hall, Ardim sat alone in the carriage, looking at the scene in front of him. At this moment, he couldn’t help but smile and speak casually.

Under his gaze, people kept walking out of the hall in front of him.

These people had initially been staying there well, but now, with Ardim leaving, they left together.

Many people even deliberately caught up with Ardim’s carriage, wanting to chat with Ardim.

Ardim met these people and chatted casually with them.

“Speaking of which, Sir Ardim, how about the Life Gem that you bought?”

On the side, someone seemed to mention this casually.

“Ah, that gem?”

Ardim chuckled softly and then opened it. “I’ve already figured out the use of it…”

“I’m going to dedicate it to my mother as a gift for her…” He said softly and casually.

Hearing Ardim’s words, the people around were stunned. After hearing what Ardim said, some couldn’t help but ponder.

It was quite a long time to walk on the road. After a while, Ardim returned to his residence.

In the Karkoen Empire, the Yaru family had a relatively wealthy and colossal territory. While in Kaner City, the Yaru family also had their base.

At this moment, Ardim returned here and looked around. Under his gaze, the surrounding scenery was reflected in his eyes.

Compared to the manor that Eloise was in, the manor that the Yaru family had was much more magnificent. Not only was the area more prominent, just by looking at it, one could feel the differences.

Walking into the manor, one could feel a dense, light aura emerging from the surrounding. It was evident and apparent as it floated around.

Even though he had just walked in here and did not do much, Ardim could feel a sense of comfort. Even part of his fatigue seemed to have disappeared.

This was a unique magic circle set up around the manor. It could clear the air and gather the magic elements in the surroundings, making the environment of the manor more suitable.

Ardim had returned to this place and looked around. According to his memories, other than himself, the parents of his body were not here.

Ardim’s father was the head of the Yaru family and the current Duke of Yaru.

As a Duke, he needed to stay in his territory for a long time and could not stay in Kaner City for a long time.

It was why Ardim was the only one who stayed in this manor for a long time.

Of course, in reality, this was not bad. Ardim was the representative of the Yaru family in Kaner City. He had a lot of power and could mobilize many resources.

It was also why Ardim’s predecessor could mobilize so many resources and do so many things. Of course, now, everything was different.

Ardim’s expression was calm as he walked into the manor, but his body paused and soon stopped.

“What’s wrong?”

Behind him, the servant who had been following Ardim was somewhat puzzled. He looked at Ardim, and didn’t understand what Ardim meant.

“What happened here?”

Standing in place, Ardim looked at the scene before him and then asked softly.

“What’s the matter?”

Standing behind him, the servant was stunned. For a moment, he didn’t understand what Ardim meant.

Ardim didn’t have any intention of explaining.

Seeing the puzzled look on the servant’s face, Ardim already knew the answer. Then, without saying anything, he turned around and walked into the manor in front of him.

Just now, Ardim felt a strange aura. That aura was very calm. Ordinary people couldn’t feel it. But in Ardim’s perception, it was apparent, so clear.

“The aura of God’s blood?”

This thought flashed through Ardim’s mind, and he walked on the road.

Just now, that flash of aura was none other than the aura of God’s blood.

There seemed to be people carrying God’s blood nearby, and the God’s blood on their bodies should be pretty dense.

Otherwise, Ardim wouldn’t have sensed it. This made Ardim somewhat interested.

Compared to other places, the number of people who had God’s blood in the Karkoen Kingdom was much higher.

Only five families had God’s blood.

However, this didn’t mean that the number of people who had God’s blood would be much higher.

God’s blood wasn’t that easy to pass down.

Even among the four great duke families, there were only a few who could emerge from each generation and have enough powerful God’s blood.

Ardim’s predecessor became the sole successor of the Yaru family because of his male identity and the density of God’s blood in his body.

Because of God’s blood in his body, it was precise that he was worthy of being the successor. No one would ever shake his position.

But now, Ardim could sense the unique aura of God’s blood.

It seemed that it was hiding nearby.

It seems that there was also an unknown surprise that appeared even in this manor.

Thinking of this, Ardim couldn’t help but smile as various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Next, he began to search around and roughly explore. In the end, he locked onto a target and found the source of that aura— it was a little girl.

Her clothes were simple and looked a little shabby. She didn’t seem to come from a good family, which was the truth.

If Ardim didn’t remember wrongly, she should be a servant in the manor, but she was relatively young, only about thirteen or fourteen years old.

At this moment, the aura of God’s blood came from the girl in front of him, and Ardim felt it.

“What’s your name?”

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Ardim was a little surprised, but he still asked.

“I’m Tina…”

Being stared at by Ardim, the little girl subconsciously shrank her body, looking a little shy and timid.

“Tina, huh…”

Hearing this name, Ardim was stunned for a while before he reacted.

“Nice name.”

Then, he looked at the little girl and nodded slightly.

The little girl was not too old, but the reaction of the divine blood on her body was apparent. At least, it was the case for Ardim.

Compared to others, Ardim’s body had the blessing of divine power so that he could feel some things more clearly.

When Chen Heng simulated to prevent his clone from dying outright, he deliberately divided part of his divine power and reincarnated it into this body.

The power of the divinity remained, allowing Ardim to observe many things calmly, which was the case now.

In Ardim’s sight, there was a faint golden flash on Tina’s body. An aura belonging to the divine blood kept emerging, and it was apparent and unique in his senses.

Although it wasn’t strong, not as strong as Ardim, a core member of the God-blood family, it was not bad either.

At least, she was comparable to Princess Eloise. She wasn’t weak at all.

Although she couldn’t be compared to Ardim himself, Princess Eloise was the daughter of the current king. The sacred blood in her body would have a specific density and a certain amount of power.

“From now on, you will follow me.”

Many thoughts flashed through Ardim’s mind looking at the little girl, and then he said softly. Coincidentally, at this time, he still lacked many people by his side.

Since the little girl in front of him had awakened God’s blood, then her natural talent shouldn’t be too bad.

If he could give her a proper upbringing, he believed that she would have a high chance of becoming a professional in the future.

He did not dare say that his achievements were too high, but it should not be a problem for him to advance to the First Ring, and this level was actually enough.

‘At the very least, even in a powerful force like the Karkoen Empire, it was not easy to find a powerful First Ring professional.’

This thought flashed through Ardim’s mind. He then turned to look at Tina and waved his hand, gesturing to the servant to take her away and change her into a new set of clothes.

The people around him quickly left. Ardim began to think as he stood alone in this spacious room.

Standing alone in this spacious room, Adem began to think. His identity this time was the heir of a Duke.

This identity is very honorable. Even if Ardim did nothing, he could still inherit the Duke title and become one of the most influential people in the Karkoen kingdom.

However, that was not enough.

The Karkoen Empire was mighty, yet the Yaru family’s strength was also not to be underestimated.

However, in front of the Gods that were about to recover, it was also nothing.

Not to mention the high and mighty Gods and the huge churches they left behind. Even the Karkoen royal family did not dare to offend them.

Therefore, to deal with the chaos, Ardim had to grow as fast as possible and accumulate as much power as possible to deal with the changes in the future.

“My strength is still a little weak…”

Ardim felt his condition, and this thought flashed through his mind.

Seriously speaking, the strength of his body was not weak.
