In just a few years, the Heindal Continent has experienced remarkable growth, propelled by the emergence of powerful entities and the Silvester family''s deration to unite it under a single g.
However, for a single family to rule over suchnds will always leave some deficiencies in certain areas.
To manage this, several soldiers have been deployed to thends, low-range flying ships keptplete surveince on the crimes.
Streets were illuminated using highly advanced artifacts prepared by Empress Olivia Silvester herself.
At a distance of every 5 miles, huge holographic screens were implemented to educate the children.
24×7, subjects ranging from battle tactics to history and artifacts were taught by Pce Gems.
Pce Gems were individuals chosen from among the natives of Heindal regardless of their identity or ss.
Several tax systems were implemented to alleviate the burden onmoners, who were now referred to as middle-grade members of society.
Within one of the towns, which was once the capital city of the Selvius Kingdom, several figures with very normal appearances, brown or ck hair, and eyes of the same color, were seen wearing civilian attire.
"It seems Heindal will rise in rankings in the uing several years," remarked a man walking in decent clothes, his brownish eyes scanning over all the implementations.
The streets were cleaned thanks to the presence of space-bins, artifacts connected to a single source where all the garbage umted from across the continent, keeping it clean.
It was a hugework, much like the teleportation grid now existing every 20 miles, allowing even ordinary people to travel with just 2 copper coins.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"It''s all due to that girl Adanyl; Olivia isn''t this smart,"mented a woman leading the group, observing the changes from herst memories and attributing them to Adanyl''s intelligence in managing and Olivia''s in inventions.
"HEART CANDIES! TAKE IT, TAKE IT! ONLY FOR 1 SILVER COIN!"
A seller''s voice resonated in the area, causing everyone to turn towards the small handcart where several colorful candies were disyed.
"Why is the price high today?" the woman inquired as she approached the cart, taking one of the offered candies.
"It''s because today is my 5th anniversary! Haha," the man behind the cartughed, revealing the reason for the candy''s hefty price.
CRUNCH
A sound resonated, causing all present to turn their gazes towards the woman at the center, standing still with nk eyes fixed in one direction, hands trembling.
Her quivering fingers, having just crushed those solid sweets, slowly moved towards her face, trembling rapidly before her palm finally rested on her trembling lips. With a voice barely escaping, she uttered, "It took you almost five years, my love~?!!"
SWOOSH
With a swift motion, her brown eyes, centered on the pupils, began to be reced with a bluish hue, expanding as her entire face transformed into someone else.
Her hair turned blue in a seamless transition, her clothes and even her body shifted into a more curvaceous form.
In an instant, her average physique was reced by a moremanding presence, with long eyshes, soft bluish eyes, and dewy red lips.
Silky blue hair cascaded down her shoulders,pleting the transformation.
SWISH SWISH
Instantly, all of the others surrounded her, trying to shield her from sight of soldiers who were more like ants to them. However, the problem was that killing them would just create hassle.
thud
"Fufu~?," Dianaughed, falling to her knees and covering her face with both hands.
Her fingers made way for her eyes to keep believing that this was reality.
Due to her patience, she was much calmer right now. "Hehe, Where is he right now? He needs me in such a broken state, right?~"
Several words, one after another, kepting out of her, leaving all the individuals standing there shocked and not understanding what was happening.
The woman sitting down there was an Early Imperfect ZENITH Powerhouse, yet she showed such behavior, which was uneptable from such an entity.
"My Lady, we are in Heindal right now," one of the women came forward, leaning at her Master''s level, her face devoid of any expression. She calmly stated this, seeing how many pedestrians were looking their way.
"Oh my, phew~," realizing while exhaling her breath, Diana slowly stood, turning towards the seller whose face was already shocked since he saw something like this for the first time.
SWOOSH
"Follow me," Diana ordered, her features again morphing into those of another woman, appearingpletely normal.
Moving inside an alley,pletely clean without any garbage, Diana halted, with other men circling around her too, standing not to protect but to let her escape.
Of course, how could they, at Ranks of EPIC, protect someone of her caliber?
It''s just that when well-known individuals like Sword Maiden or Reinguards tried to involve, they could act as meat shields.
"Tell me, how is he?" Diana inquired to the man, folding her hand while taking a seat on the nearbydder, appearingpletely normal.
"He seems to bepletely healed and even reached early ZENITH Rank," the man informed, observing all the firmly stood men, turned their backs against them with another woman standing just beside Diana.
"Can''t expect less from him, my ryuk~?," Diana ced her chin on her hand, her face melting as she thought about something, making the woman standing beside her inquire the man again.
"And, how many women were with him?" Already aware of the most crucial question and being present as Aide of her Master, the woman with a calm demeanor inquired.
"Oh, yes, you asked the right question. How many?" Diana,ing out of her thoughts, understood that due to her excitement of finally getting a chance to see her beloved, she lost her calmposure.
"There were two women," the man informed, but he saw nothing change in the surrounding except for the woman beside Diana taking out a notebook and scribbling something.
"Sigh, Ryuk, Ryuk, my Ryuk, how many more would you sacrifice?" Calmly seating on thedder, Diana''s gaze turned cold yet a chilling smile yed on her face. With a soft voice enough to make chills run down the man''s spine, she inquired, "What were the names again?"
"S-sorry?" Already overwhelmed by the intense pressure filling the surrounding ce caused by the source in front of him, the man inquired, not understanding the meaning.
"I asked, what were the names of those two women?" Diana slowly leaned back, folding her hands while inquiring with a small smile on her face.
"It was Regina Devereaux and Drishti Devereaux," the man informed about the information they have.
Scribble~
The woman standing beside Diana started to write down those names but was halted by Diana''s gesture, making her stop and look with aposed demeanor.
"So, he got a ve and a psychody. No problem, don''t write their names," Diana slowly stood from her seat, having already read through every detail and thing about the Devereaux family in her 416 Aurora years of lifespan and 13 years of the real world.
"I understand, My Lady. What should we do next?" the woman, putting back her diary, inquired.
"Who was the next target?" Diana reminded her while moving out of the alley, being followed by the individuals apanying her.
"First, it was Adanyl, but you changed her position tost after she came out to be the sister of Yui Tenebri. Right now, we have dealt with Henna Quintain and Alisia Devereaux," the woman informed while moving beside Diana. All of them were heading towards their next target, which was the reason for all of them to arrive here today.

Just at a small distance from the alley, Diana knocked on one of the wooden doors and waited for the individual from inside toe out.
Creeeekk
"Who are you people?" With dull silver hair, a woman opened the door wearing a normal dress, observing all of these people with a frown.
Seeing the woman in front of her, with a soft smile, Diana, who was in another woman''s appearance, stated, "Hello Aunt Elsa, I wanted to have a chat with Alia. Can I enter?"
