“Da!” Mina Tepes nodded her head. “A subordinate of mine had accidentally witnessed a black robed person entering the Forest and tried tailing him. He then saw how that person had revived my father and then vanished together with him. From what my subordinate had said, he can feel or smell no speck of life from that person. Thus, I had concluded him to be a Lich.”

Mina took a deep breath and continued with great gravity, “... And there was no other Lich existed that can revive the dead as powerful as my father so easily other than the Undying King. Besides, I had heard he had woken up…”

“Your network sure is quite fast…” Mia smiled faintly.

“Well, I had my own means…” Mina shrugs. “Truthfully, I came here to warn my little king but it seems like he wasn’t here… so, the Bianchi princess is the one holding the core now?”

“That’s right, Mia is indeed the one holding the last say,” Cris responded. “She is the most important and trustworthy to master, so you shouldn’t think of anything against her, Vampire Princess,”

Cris words made Mia excited. Although she had already known this for a very long time but hearing it from them, even if it was not Allen, but it can be said that they are an extension of Allen’s will, Mia still feel extremely happy.

That’s right! Even if he didn’t say it but she is indeed, Allen’s most important person!

That is her pride!

“Hmm,” Mina stared at Mia for a moment before shrugging, “Oh well, since my good for nothing father seems to have been involved in this mess, more the case, should I, Princess Mina Tepes of the Vampire Clan, will also be stepping in this stage. The children of the Night, the Vampire Clan will be lending their strength to you, Bianchi Princess.”

“… …” After speaking, just like a ghost Mina Tepes stepped forward and vanished only to reappear beside Cris.

“Hey,” Mia wanted to say something but Mina had already grabbed Cris hand and both of them disappeared from the room.

Mia and Aileen could only stare at their former position with a complicated expression. Well, fortunately, it was not the real body and just a clone but even so, can this still be count as kidnapping…?

Why the hell did she grab Cris away…?

Since that day, starting from the Vampire Clan, other races had also started making their movements.

They went and contacted the Bianchi Family on their own accords; Lycanthrope, Snow Wolf Clan, Heavenly Fox Tribe, Black Widow Tribe (Led by the infamous Lumeria Idoria) in which had been contacted by Alkrasha and Allen’s friend; Raya Idoria, Elves, and other Beastmen tribes.

They started giving their aids to counter the Anti –Life; the Undying King’s force.

As for Mina Tepes, she was busy pestering Cris and the other clones to call Allen. It seems like she never believed what Mia and the others had said. Although, whether the fact of his ascension was real or not, she was certain that Allen can surely appear as much as he wanted.

In fact, the thing that had strengthened this idea of hers was none other than the fact that they had never affirmed that Allen cannot indeed return. Obviously, no one can. Even Allen himself was still doubtful to even do it. Who knows what the power of worlds would do just like last time.

He had almost been a goner that time.

Thus, as of now, Allen was still hesitating to return just like how he had intended to do at first. If as much as possible, he wouldn’t do it.

The world was once again drowned in unease and anxiety, but this time it wasn’t the Demon Invasion but the Undying King’s Ascension.

Was this an inevitable?

Or premeditated…?”

*** ***

Mia was extremely busy these past few days.

However, unlike before, there was no hint of panic or unease anymore. Even though the Undying King’s threat still remained unsolved, but Mia’s forces alone can easily deal with the problem. Of course, the other forces outside the Family weren’t accounted for this.

Her former colleagues, the [ Dawn Alliance ], the Church, and other government and organizations all of them were doing what they can to stop the Undying King but compared to Mia’s powers and influence, they hardly mattered.

Right now, no one can refute that the throne can only be in Mia’s hands.

Obviously, most governments and organizations were extremely reluctant to it. There was no Union anymore, even most countries were already abolished and were swallowed by larger countries.

The old era has died and a new one was born.

Still, the fight for supremacy was still stronger than ever.

But, although they had some problems with it, no one dares to voice it out.

Bianchi Empire…

Although there was no such thing as an Empire and the Bianchi Family preferred to work under the table just like what they are in the world before the apocalypse, even still, no one would deny that this world, the strongest force was the Bianchi Family.

Aside from the man standing behind the princess of this largest Imperium, the one already treated as a God by some tribe and people, and rumored to be the world’s strongest… the influence given by him to the Princess was enough to make them cower in fear.

And now, although it wasn’t confirmed, rumors and reports received by each organization and groups that said to be, this ‘God’ was plundering treasures after treasures for who knows where and bestowed all to the Princess, giving her the authority to distribute it as much as she likes.

Although they wanted to dismissed this but when they recall the power and abilities possess by those working loyally at the main family, in addition to the time when they made deals with the Bianchi’s and was given extremely precious treasures easily as if they were common, this notion was strengthened, making them almost die in envy.

Just where did this ‘God’ taking these extremely precious… treasures from…?

Thus, they started carrying out favors, just trying to glimpse the appearance of this rumored ‘God’ but no matter what they do, no matter who they asked, no one would dare to say anything about any kind of information about this so-called ‘God’ making him all the more mysterious.

With so much power in hands, even if it’s the whole world, Mia can easily conquer it. Only using Alkrasha, Eliade and the ‘Abbar Dastan’ that the Dastan King easily gave her full authority, whatever she wanted, she can easily get it.

Really, never did she imagine that she would have a day where all this power would be in her hands.

Reading and organizing the information she had gotten, she once again immersed herself in the busy work. With this, she would be able to at least avert her attention from thinking about her beloved man who she thinks night and day.

Sighing, she pulled out a document when suddenly, Knock! Knock!

“Come in,”

The door opened, revealing a familiar figure.

“I had returned, milady,”

Mia’s lips curled into a beautiful gentle smile. “Welcome back, Lieri,”

Lieri Del Con. The one person that had always supported her from behind.

She had always been like a big sister to her, whether it was in the previous life or in this life.

Mia put down the papers and immediately towards her. Hugging her warmly, she greeted Lieri back, happily.

“How is it?”

“It was successful, at least. Mr. George here wanted to speak for you, before the contract occurs,” Lieri said as she stepped aside, revealing a young man with blonde hair and grey eyes, quietly following her.

He was extremely handsome and young.

“He’s the son of Sir. Drake Adam, master of the Firewall city.”

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Princess Bianchi. I had heard so much about you,” George tidied his hair and extended his hand to towards Mia.

Mia frowned and recoiled slightly, taking a step back. She nodded towards him. “Hello.”

George’s hand was still extended out, slightly cold. Lieri also frowned. Her gaze slightly turned cold and said, “If you have heard of my master before, Sir George, then you should have heard that my master doesn’t like touching those of the opposite sex. Or have you forgotten about it?”

George’s eyebrows twitched. He pulled back his arm while still wearing his usual smile, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”

Mia shallowly smiled and turned her head at Lieri, “Lieri, escort Sir George out. I’m not in the mood for seeing someone right now,”

“Uh, Wait, if I had offended you, I apologize but…”

“Enough,” Mia’s voice turned colder than usual. She gazes at George, an intimidating pressure covered the entire room, “Please leave, Sir George. Or else do you want me to throw you out myself…?”

George entire body froze. Although he had heard about Mia before but he had never minded it.

It was said that Mia abhors touching any men, whether it was the leader of a very powerful organization or government, she would never allow any man to touch even a strand of her hair.

If someone dares to violate this, whoever they were will receive harsh punishment.

But all of these rumors were only spread through mouth and ears. Thus, it was hard to believe. He had even forced his father to give him an opportunity to meet the infamous Princess of the Bianchi Family.

But now…

Walking through the quiet corridor, George was about to say something when she noticed Lieri’s heated gaze.

It wasn’t romantic at all as George felt Lieri’s desire to kill.

“Well, that is…” But he was a man. Thus, he mustered all his courage to say something, trying to break the ice.

“Say no more.” Lieri’s voice rang out. “I had already warned you beforehand that if you want to talk at my master never try touching her…”

“But, it was just a small mistake and I didn’t even touch her yet.”

“Hmph,” Lieri snorted. “In fact, you should feel lucky. Once before, those who even tried to offer their hand to master had been beaten down and thrown away outside like a rag. Of course, I’m also thinking to do that to you Sir George if not for the respect for your father…”

“… …”

“I advise you to learn this lesson, Sir George. Master’s hate for other men aside from her family was much stronger than you ever imagined. If your family still want to cooperate with us, then you should better remember what and what not to do in front of us,” Lieri bowed and gestured her hand towards the door.

“… Please have a good day…”

George could only walk out without a soul. He never expected for him to be sent out as soon as he saw the Goddess of the World, his beloved idol. To be able to make such a simple mistake…

*** ***

That night, Lieri was harshly reprimanded by Mia, causing the former to feel a bit depressed and guilty.

She had always been reminded by Mia that she doesn’t want to meet someone, especially a man directly.

However, what can she do?

The master of the Firewall City desperately begged for his son to see Mia. He was probably hoping for Mia to see some hope for his son and receive him in the family.

Although that would never happen but she just can’t refuse outright. Besides, she saw that that youth had some potential. His power and ability seem to be better than the average and his level was even already breaking through Lv7… a good seedling.

Too bad, he just had to do something her master hated the most.

Other than her father and brother, Allen was the only person to have the privilege to touch her. Even her father and brother couldn’t even touch her as easily as Allen does.

Due to what had happened in the previous world, she always had a hidden hate and despise any men. Though Lieri had noticed it before but never did she expected for Mia to hate them this much.

With just a single touch, or even for a moment bit, she would turn violent like a beast and beat that man without any mercy. Fortunately, she was extremely immune to Allen. No, it should be said that the greater her hate towards men becomes, the stronger her love towards Allen become…

What a very troublesome condition her master had become…

Though that doesn’t seem to be a problem…
