Chapter 125: Spectre Clearing Operations, Departure!

Rumble!

As soon as Eli's words finished, the heavens responded with a resounding thunder. As if conversing with Eli, the heavens roared and let the rest of the Blades awestruck!

After the roaring thunders, a gentle white light appeared, covering Leon and the Crimson Blades. The white light gently pulsated until it became faint and invisible. 

Everyone  felt goosebumps flow on every inch of their body. They didn't expect to witness a person virtually interacting with the heavens. 

Except for Leon and Olivier, who had already witnessed Eli's abilities, the rest of the Crimson blades looked at Eli in admiration.

The future madam is so capable! 

Who other lady in the whole Prasinos could move the heavens with a prayer? It was only their madame, Eli!!!!

"Crimson Blades, brothers I keep dearly into my heart," Leon calmed the excited crowd, he looked at them, still emanating a dignified presence. 

"For what you have witnessed tonight, I trust that you would help me keep this matter until I give permission."

"We definitely will!!!" Almost immediately, they responded to Leon's request. 

Who among them would want to carelessly brag about the capabilities of their madame? What if the moment they brag, some other men would try to snatch their precious madame away from them and Master? 

No way!  We will keep madame to ourselves! She will only be for our master! Not to any other man!

As much as the Crimson Blades wanted to be acquainted with their Madame, the situation was inappropriate. Thus, after exchanging some greetings with the blades, Leon had to send Eli and Little Han Back to the cottage. 

As soon as Leon exited the room to teleport Eli and Little Han back to the cottage, the rest of the blades swarmed around the five assigned guards to inquire about the two.

"Hey Neil, tell us how Madame was like!"

"What are her hobbies? Does she have anything she particularly likes?"

"Our Madame is so beautiful! She really looked good with our Master!!!"

"Too bad, our Master and Madame still had to hide along with our Little Master because of that abominable Spectre!

"Ah!! Let's do our best on this mission so that our Master and Madame will be able to live peacefully!"

"Yeah!! For our Madame and Master!"

Leon and Eli teleported back in the cottage in an instant. As soon as they arrived, the two could already feel each other's anxiousness about their impending separation. 

"I'll tuck Little Han before I go." Leon uttered gently. 

Still unable to reply in words, Eli just gave a permitting nod. 

The two silently walked to the bedroom. Eli watched Leon blankly as he lovingly tucked Little Han to sleep. 

There's a lot going on in her heart, she was actually overwhelmed with questions in her mind. How could Leon's departure this time struck Eli's heart anxiously? 

If she would strictly count the number of days she interacted with Leon face to face, it would only be tantamount to less than a month. Yet how could it be that their separation brought a heavier impact in her heart?

Could it be that Leon was starting to have a special place in her heart?

At the thought of this, Eli became more nervous. If that was the case, did she develop a certain extent of dependence on him? Is that why she was anxious to be separated from him this time?

Or maybe it was because of the dream?

However, she rejected the latter immediately. If she was anxious just because of the dream, but not to the fact that Leon was subjecting himself to actual danger for her and Little Han, then she would be the most superficial woman in the world!

This is not good! She was getting more and more confused right now! She had to sort her feelings out at least before Leon comes back.

Looking at Leon's lonesome figure as he continued to tuck Little Han before he marched for war, Eli stood up and challenged herself. It was only two steps to get in front of Leon, however these two steps already consumed half of Eli's courage. 

Leon paused curiously as he felt Eli's presence getting near. He had a puzzled expression, trying to figure out what Eli was up to. 

Without letting Leon figure out her intention, she closed her eyes and let her hands blindly reach Leon's body in an awkward embrace. 

"Leon, come back safe!" She uttered with the help of her remaining drop of courage. After that, a wave of embarrassment and shyness showered her entire body. After a second, she loosened her arm to end the embrace. 

Leon's body became stiff for a split second, he felt his heart beating rapidly as his brain swiftly processed what Eli had just done.

Eli hugged her!

She even took the initiative!

"Let us stay like this for a while.." When his body sensed that Eli was ending the embrace, he gently enveloped her body with his arms and pulled her towards him to remember her warmth. 

"I still don't know what this means to me." Eli gave a nod and uttered these words of disclaimer.  She wanted Leon to know, she wasn't sure yet of her feelings. 

"Uhn.. but just right now, let us stay like this for a while." He moved his hand to support the back of Eli's head, letting her rest in his sturdy chest.

Eli could hear Leon's intensely beating heart. Her heart was beating so hard too, but she prayed that Leon wouldn't discover…

"Take your time… You have a lot on your plate. It doesn't matter to me if you still do not have an answer the moment I come back. But one thing is for sure." Leon said these words so soothingly in Eli's ears. 

"Eli, I am sure about you!"

In the little cottage, the two stayed in each other's embrace as the moonlight shined through the window, creating a silhouette of lovers intertwined with the sweetest embrace.

While this was happening, there was already a huge uproar happening in the Sun Tower. The knights from the other corps, were fervently discussing the bizarre phenomenon they experienced earlier before coming in the tower.

While they were busy preparing for the departure, small sparkles of light showered their bodies and they felt that their senses improved and their hearts were more at peace.

Upon arriving at the rendezvous point, the knights discovered that everyone belonging to the Clearing Operations experienced the same phenomenon.

"Someone casted a holy blessing on us!" 

"Who could be so benevolent to do this?" 

"It should be the High Priest!"

"That makes sense! How could I forget that the Emperor visited the High Priest a few days ago? I think the Emperor requested the Esteemed High Priest to cast a Priest Blessings to us!"

As everyone engaged in fervent discussions, the seventeen blades did not utter any word nor reveal a hint of their emotions. But it wasn't that hard for them to keep their mouths shut no matter how lively the other's discussions were. 

It was because the other knights were already used to distance themselves from the Crimson Blades. They weren't keen to interact with them either, so they just let them be.

And so the discussions continued until they saw the arrival of the Imperial Sky Knights, the Princes, General Farauld and the Emperor. 

After a few words of encouragement and instructions, the clearing operations team organized themselves to ready for teleportation. Sixteen groups would be teleported to the nearest arrays on the target locations of the first wave of attack.

The subunits were teleported one by one, until only the Emperor and his aides were left in the room. 

Emperor Valentin stayed still, looking at the teleportation array with worry in his eyes. 

"Men, I pray for your safety and victory!" He uttered with genuine care in his crystal blue eyes, before turning to go back in his quarters.

Meanwhile, the bedridden Empress Carolina opened her amethyst eyes with a frustrated expression. She didn't expect that she would stay like this since the day of the temple visit. 

After her check up with the Imperial Doctors, she was diagnosed to have ruptured twenty percent of her mana receptors. 

This was actually a dangerous situation.

To damage your receptors would jeopardize the nearby organs as the receptors lie near them. That is why mages tend to avoid experiencing receptor fatigue to completely guard against this situation. 

Fortunately for Empress Carolina, the damaged receptors lie in the different parts of her body and no vital organs were affected. 

However, it took a great toll on her motor skills. Whenever she moves, she will feel an unreasonable amount of pain due to the ruptured receptors. With this, the doctors could only advise her to stay on bed and drink a bitter herbal concoction promoting receptor repair and regeneration.

She was full of unwillingness but at the same time she was helpless. If she wanted to recover, she had to follow the doctor's instructions. Remembering this, she clenched her fist so tight, but her fingers gave away easily because of her condition.

'Argg! Why am I suffering here while Tehila was out there sleeping well and good!'

While she was cursing the Queen Tehila in her heart, a dark shadow appearing on her bedroom moved quietly towards Empress Carolina's bed.

"Empress, they have departed." The shadow reported.

"Did you find any clue to the plans at their side?" Her voice inquired coldly.

"Unfortunately Empress, I was not able to get any because they moved and conversed with complete secrecy."

"It's alright, I get it. Even Kazimir couldn't say anything because of the oath." Empress Carolina dismissed the idea.

"It's good that I have warned the people in advance. All the remaining forces in the Empire would be the hired minions only. They were not even an official member of the Spectres. It will never be a loss on our side."

She said with a smile, seemingly mocking the Emperor's foolish efforts that was deemed not to get a good result.
