I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

Leaving the training ground, King Leon immediately kisses Extalia when they arrive inside his chamber. Just as they wanted to continue further, they could hear a light snoring nearby. Anna slept peacefully on the bed while hugging her fluffy ball doll.

Seeing Anna sleeping on his bed like owning it, King Leon couldn't help but grimace at her. Since Anna experienced sleeping in this room, she often sneaks in and naps here after playing around.

King Leon didn't know how the little monster could enter with all the guards and security mechanisms. It is as if she just appears out of nowhere. Despite this, he doesn't wake Anna. He knows waking Anna without Angus or Jayna on their side is taboo.

Noticing King Leon's displeasure, "Don't be like that. Besides, she looks like a normal girl when sleeping like this." commented Extalia from the side.

"It is because she could restrain her dreadful aura lately. But, in reality, she is still a monster." said King Leon.

Extalia didn't reply, only looking at Anna with a melancholy expression. Suddenly, King Leon appears behind her and hugs her to comfort her.

"Lia, do you want a child? Our child?" asked King Leon.

"I will be lying if I said I don't want it. But I also know it is almost impossible for us to have a child. With you in seventh grade and my current level, it is almost certain we could never have a child, even during my fertility period." said Extalia.

"Dahlia could conceive a few times because she is… too weak. Hell, she didn't even reach fifth grade after all these years. Unlike her, I am too strong and bearing a child with you is impossible." added Extalia.

"Hush.. It's okay. Don't think about it. I love you as it is. You are a thousand times better than that whore." said King Leon.

"Leon?!! She.. She is still my sister." said Extalia.

"And?!" replied King Leon coldly.

Knowing King Leon's past experience regarding blood siblings, Extalia didn't reply further and only leaned on him. They are not in the mood to make love, but they still enjoy each other's presence.

After staying silent for a while, "Leon, I think I will follow these brats to meet him." said Extalia.

"Him? Lia, you don't mean…" said King Leon in surprise.

"Yes." said Extalia.

"What for? He is just an old bag." retorted King Leon.

"And our last elder. I am going to ask him to bless us." said Extalia.

"That old-fashioned old fool will never agree to it." said King Leon.

"Then, you also don't have a chance to bring him out. Leon, although I don't care about the word from the others, I still at least want us to be recognized by our predecessor." said Extalia.

"And you thought he would just bless us like that? The last time I saw him, he wanted to kill me like his life depended on it. If it is not for my [Blink] and he couldn't leave that place for a long time, he may have already launched an all-out attack long ago." said King Leon.

"Isn't it already in the past? If you could change, I could change. He may also change." replied Extalia.

"Huft… Fine. But I want you to keep me updated when you are there." said King Leon.

"Good. Besides, it is not like I am creating more trouble than these brats." said Extalia.

"Yes. But, starting from now, you will train with me." said King Leon sternly.

"Eh??" replied Extalia in surprise.

"Don't refuse it. I know you want to achieve your strength on your own. But there is nothing wrong with getting help from those who love you. You are the one that teaches me that, Lia." said King Leon.

"Urgh… Fine. J-Just don't pity me." said Extalia meekly.

"I never do that. You are strong. Both of us know it. But, sometimes, you need to let your pride go to achieve something higher. Lia, I know you still have not given up on becoming seventh grade. I also hope you are not trying to break through." said King Leon.

"However, I also hope you become stronger to protect yourself, especially in these uncertain times." added King Leon.

"Leon.." replied Extalia.

"Lia, even without that elixir, you are more talented than me. I am the one that is holding you back all these years. So, at least let me do this to make for it." said King Leon.

While King Leon and Duchess Amberblaze talk to each other, Angus and Jayna finish making love and lie on the hard ground in sweat.

Unlike King Leon, Angus is used to being cockblocked by Anna. Hence, he could ignore the uncomfortable stare from the nearby twin Gem.

"Huft.. Huft… So, can you tell me how you can use [Flame Blink]? It also seems more sophisticated than mine." said Angus.

"Are you jealous?" asked Jayna back with a sneer.

"Not really. I am just curious." replied Angus.

"Hmm?? So, what did you think, Mr. Genius?" asked Jayna.

"What do I think? I think you are somehow having better control of fire. Last time, you could only control your own fire. Now, you seem to reach the true [Firecast] level. Be it my own fire or neutral fire elemental in the air, you could control it to a certain degree."

"Still, it didn't change the fact you could somehow [Flame Blink] to a location without fire elemental on it." said Angus.

"You are cheating. You can almost guess all my new abilities by looking at them once. No wonder you could immediately find a way to counter me." complained Jayna.

"However, you are wrong about my [Flame Blink]. It's true my [Flame Blink] is more sophisticated than yours. But you are wrong about it without the existence of a fire elemental on it." said Jayna.

"To do [Flame Blink], I still need a fire elemental, but it is less than yours. If you need at least a fire elemental that could make a fire, I only need a little bit from the natural fire elemental." explained Jayna

"You are joking, right?" asked Angus in shock.

What Jayna did may look simple, but she is actually doing something more ridiculous than just manipulating fire elementals in nature. It is known that elemental in the natural mana is very volatile. They could easily change into other elementals within a split second.

Unless someone thoroughly detects and grasps all the fire elementals in the surrounding, they are impossible to use or control them.

Until now, Angus could only use his own fire mana to attract the fire elemental in the air and keep it from changing. He could only control it when it reached a certain concentration.

If it is too small in quantity, he will not be able to detect the natural fire elemental since it keeps changing with others. In contrast, Jayna somehow could magically do this.

Still, Angus also knows Phoenix is the embodiment of Fire. They are born through fire and should at least have this kind of capability.

"So, how is it? I am amazing, right?" said Jayna with smugness.

"You are as amazing as always, Jayna. Still, I assume you only use this ability instinctively. Guess this must be part of Fire Phoenix's sealed memories." said Angus.

"Yeah. I think most of Fire Phoenix is stronger than we previously thought. Sometimes I feel like doing a lot of things instinctively when using fire. But I also don't know how to start." said Jayna.

"Don't worry about it. Besides, I think Fire Phoenix's memories also get jumbled and most of her strongest skills and technique have been gone since the Forgotten King's disappearance." said Angus.

"True. I feel the idea of her being beaten and sealed by her sisters does not make sense. Even though [Absolute Blue] water is the bane for Phoenix, it also couldn't be used outside."

"Who knows where Green Goose and Artica Phoenix get that large amount of [Absolute Blue]. I think Fire Phoenix just couldn't fight with all her strength before being sealed." said Jayna.

"Hmm… Make sense. I also read [Absolute Blue] is a rare material with similar properties to liquefy mana during the Mana Turbulence phenomenon. It is easy to evaporate in the open air. It is one of the materials impractical to use in battle." replied Angus.

"You should try any kind of fire technique, be it the most complex or just a myth. Who knows, you could do it instinctively like your current [Flame Blink]." suggested Angus.

"Alright. Let's do it. Now, let's pick up Anna. Otherwise, she will sleep the whole day." said Jayna while dressing.

"Sure. I also need some inspiration for this Undermine Council entry. I really want to refuse to attend this event." said Angus.

"Hmm… Come on. It's not that bad. You just need to create something unique to enter the event. It is not that hard, right?" asked Jayna as the young couple left the training ground.

"No, it is the worst. First, those dwarfs have a very high taste. So, unless you give something extraordinary, you will be denied. Second, if I create something ridiculous, it will only attract more attention. I am already tired of my current fame." said Angus

"Did you need my help?" asked Jayna.
