"Rislith!"
Eisheth shouted as she walked into Rislith's office, Rislith, who was currently looking into the Matter of the State was surprised to see her usually elegant mother acting like that,
"What is it, mother?"
She questioned with a frown on her face.
"Did you send anyone to look into that boy?"
"Inside that new continent? I have sent my few loyal spies already, they will be back within 5 da-"
"How long ago did you send them?"
Eisheth interrupted Rislith's sentence and questioned.
"Huh? I-It's been 2 hours."
Hearing those words, Eisheth finally sighed in relief. Then, her expression turned serious and,
"Come out."
She ordered.
A silhouette appeared inside the room.
"Catch those spies, don't let them leave the Demon Continent."
Eisheth ordered.
"As you command, Queen Eisheth."
The Silhouette replied and then, it disappeared.
Eisheth sighed again.
Rislith, however, was now even more confused.
"What happened, mother? Why do you look so tensed?"
She questioned with a frown on her face.
For her mother to act like…
Honestly, there were not many things that could make her mother act like this. Even if the world's strongest being appears in front of her, she wouldn't be this restless.
With a serious look on her face, Eisheth passed the envelope she read to Rislith,
Rislith saw the insignia and quickly understood the cause, however, she didn't say anything, she just grabbed the letter and started reading it.
"It is them again."
She commented as she glanced at her mother,
Eisheth just smiled wryly.
"But telling us not to do anything about the new continent and act like it didn't appear. Why are they involving themselves in this matter? Aren't they abusing their power?"
Rislith questioned with a frown on her face.
"Do they really think they can order us and everyone else around like that?"
Rislith questioned as she narrowed her eyes and a cold look appeared on her face.
This letter, rather than a request, it was an order.
Do they really dare to order them around?
Or were they underestimating them?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got,
However,
"Calm down."
Eisheth spoke.
She then glanced at her eldest daughter, and with an unusually serious look on her face, she replied,
"I have told you many times already, did I not?
Do not act against their order and do not doubt them.
They are not our enemies."
"But we are not their subordinates either mother.
And if you just keep acting like that, I will never understand it.
Explain it to me,
Why? Why you, one of the strongest being in the world, act like that whenever the Ancestral Order is involved?
Why does it look like you are… scared of them."
"I am not scared of them."
Eisheth replied almost instantaneously.
"Mother, don't deflect the question.
Answer me, what is the Ancestral Order?
Why do we have to be so careful whenever they are involved?"
Rislith questioned.
"And as I have said before,
Become a Divine Stage Cultivator,
Once you do, I will answer all your questions."
Eisheth replied and Rislith turned silent.
This was something she would never understand.
The Ancestral Order,
It was the power that usually did not involve themselves with Yrneil's politics, but for some reason, whenever they do get involved, all the other powers, whether it is the Human Empires, the Dragons from their Valley, Demon States, Vampire Kingdom, Elves, Beastmen, or the Dwarves, all these powers, which are normally like fierce, wild Lions in the jungle, they all somehow turn into kittens and act obedient.
"Anyways, as the letter said, do not get involved with the new Continent. As for why the Ancestral Order is involving themselves with it, honestly, I find it strange as well.
I will talk about this and discuss it with others, but before I get any satisfactory answers, lay low."
"What about looking into that boy?"
Rislith questioned.
"Well, we cannot do anything about it now.
Anyways, that boy will be forming a Clan and we will form an Alliance with them, so don't look into him now, as long as he is our ally, his past does not bother us."
"Huh? He is making a Clan?"
Rislith questioned.
"Don't act like you didn't expect it already."
"I did, I just didn't think he would take a decision so quickly."
Rislith replied, then, a frown appeared on her face and she questioned,
"But why are we forming an Alliance with him?
What's the point? Are you trying to gain his favor when he is still young? It is not a bad move."
"Well, you can say that."
Eisheth smiled.
"Anyways, I would need to change a few things now that we have formed a new alliance. You only have to say the words, I am the one who actually has to do all the work."
Rislith pouted.
"And I am glad to have an amazing daughter like you."
Eisheth cupped Rislith's cheek with her hands and replied with a gentle smile on her face.
Rislith turned her eyes away, and with a slight blush on her face, she replied,
"I am not a child, mother."
Even though she said that, she didn't put any resistance or stepped back, she just stood there, letting her mother spoil her.
Eisheth just smiled,
"You will always be a child in my eyes, Ris.
No matter how more amazing you become."
Hearing those words, Rislith smiled a little.
…
While Rislith and Eisheth were talking to each other, Nux walked into the rooms where his wives were waiting for him.
"Where have you been?"
Aisha questioned.
"Your mother summoned me."
Nux replied.
"As I expected…"
Aisha sighed.
Nux then glanced at Aisha, and after thinking for a while, he spoke,
"Aisha, I wish to spend some time with my wives, alone."
"…"
Aisha glanced at Nux and seeing the serious look on her face, she realized that this was something important, so although she wanted to spend a little more time with them, she realized that she had to go.
"Alright. I will take my leave now."
She muttered.
"Thank you."
Nux smiled gently.
Aisha smiled back and then, she walked away.
The moment she left, Nux glanced at his wives however, before he could say anything, Astaria spoke,
"Nux, there is something we all wish to talk about."
