And he could see, the way they respectfully talked to her and showed excitement, that Bella had left quite a deep impression on them.

"They look like children who have reunited with their parents after a long time," Lilia commented as she sat beside her master.

There was a soft smile on her face as she watched the group of four people surrounding Bella, and asking her all kinds of questions.

"I always remained worried how she could manage things without me…but without me knowing, Bella has matured quite well." There was a sense of pride in his eyes as he watched his sister.

"She is the daughter of the strongest witch and the Commander who has lost not a single war. Naturally, she would be a great leader." Emily added as she rested her head on Richard\'s shoulders.

The other five were resting in the quarters provided to them since they were quite tired because of the journey.

Richard has decided to take shifts with Carl and Ben since they couldn\'t all sleep at once and let their guard down.

Although these people were allies, they were in the territory of the unknown. Any danger in the face of a friend can threaten this whole mission.

For now, Carl and the others were resting, and after a few hours, Richard would take a few hour\'s worth of nap.

"Young Master," Hearing her concerned tone, Richard turned toward her before the brunette said, "I haven\'t received any letter from the Duchess after arriving here ..which means the Soul Beast cannot cross the dimensions and has failed to bring the letter."

Richard\'s brows grew closer as he contemplated a bit and asked, "How many days have we spent here?"

Emily responded, "Ten days."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Richard hummed as he added, "Then about twelve of fourteen hours in that world. She might not be worried since Mother was involved in the meeting with the council. However, soon, she would suspect things and might send people to look for me."

It didn\'t help that Richard set off to the land of his enemies. As such, the absence of a response from him would only make her worried.

But there was no way of communicating with her since Soul Beast couldn\'t travel through dimensions.

"What happens if the Soul Beast fails to bring the message? Do they take the letter back?" Richard asked.

Lilia shook her head, "No; the letter can only be accessed to which it was sent to. Any obstruction or reason which prevents the person from receiving the message would instantly burn the message to ensure the safety."

Richard heaved a sigh of relief, "That\'s better."

If his Mother had realized that the messages couldn\'t even reach him, she might have joined the dots and crossed the dimensions to search for him.

Although Bellarine was quite strong and would have proved to be a vital ally, her sudden arrival might change a few things that Richard might find undesirable. And considering the danger this world possessed Richard wanted his mother to stay on Clion.

"Brother." Seeing Bella approaching them, Richard raised his brows, as he heard his sister saying,

"Let me introduce them to you," Gesturing towards the man who was waiting for them outside the plane, she said, "He is the Chief Strategist—Josh."

"Hello, Sir Richard."

Richard gave him a nod, as he heard her adding, "She is the on-field commander and the strongest combatant of the Crimson Claw—Athena." While gesturing toward the short red-haired woman, she said.

Athena smiled confidently as she said, "I hope we can find some time to spar."

Richard chuckled, "Sure, why not."

"And that is Lena, the current Leader of the clan."

Richard and Lena shared a nod before Bella moved toward the last one,

"She is the vice-master of the clan, Jennifer."

Richard looked at the person, and just as the girl was about to say, Richard spoke,

"Vahz thal eyn korath nu?"

"...?" The girl tilted her head in confusion and the others also, except for Emily, looked at Richard in bewilderment.

"Is that Mortis Tongue, Richard?" The blond barrier-user asked.

Richard nodded, "Yeah, the language that only the Monarch of Death and his generals could understand."

That caused even more confusion, "Then…why are you using it to talk to her?" Bella asked….only to realize, "Wait! Is she an apostle?"

Her widened eyes startled Jennifer, as she asked, "W-What is that?"

Richard heaved a sigh, before getting up from his seat and approaching the raven-haired woman.

"Don\'t worry, and tell me how you feel when I do this…" As he said a black orb appeared on the top of his raised index finger.

Lena\'s hair strands stood erect in alert upon feeling such condensed and pure mana from the redhead. The same could be said about the other two as they watched Richard with slight alertness and curiosity.

In comparison to them, Jennifer\'s reaction was quite different. Her eyes seemed dazed and a feverish blush adorned her cheeks. Her bountiful bust moved with each breath, as she stared at the orb feverishly,

"It…smells tempting…I want to touch it…"

Richard released the orb into thin air and snapped his fingers, bringing the vice-clan master back to reality.

"Huh?" She looked around her and found everyone was staring at her weirdly.

"D-Did I do something?"

Richard didn\'t let her satiate her curiosity before asking, "Do you have a partner?"

The girl looked confused, "What partner? As a training partner?"

Richard was speechless. He has to spell it out clearly after all,

"Tell me, are you a virgin?"

"...!!" A profound blush crept to her face as her eyes stretched wide. Josh whistled upon hearing that. Lena and Lilia just raised their brows. Bella narrowed her eyes at her brother while Emily was looking around nervously.

"W-What are you say-"

"It means you are a virgin." Richard sighed, "No wonder you haven\'t realized your origin."

It hurts. The way Richard looked at her in disappointment stabbed right into her pride.

\'Guh! Got humiliated in front of the Leader!\'

"Brother?" Bella asked, "What\'s the matter?" Bella was not too well informed about things related to these Apostles.

Richard explained, "There are certain things which trigger the awakening of an Apostle. Like for Rena, it was the murder of a man who was trying to steal her ration to feed his family. That was her trigger point."

Looking at Jennifer, the redhead added, "And the General who blessed this girl seems to be Draeth—the Succubus Queen."

The blush on Jennifer\'s face returned as she asked, "A succubus blessed me?"

"It seems so, that\'s why I asked if you\'re a virgin. Since for the Apostles of Draeth, intercourse is the trigger."

"...!!!" Why is this man so blunt?!!!!

Lilia frowned, "But young master, you said this world was under the control of Ithryx? Then…this girl?"

Richard nodded, "Yes, indeed this world is under the rule of the strongest General. However, from what my instincts say, she indeed is blessed by Draeth." Was this an attempt to challenge the fellow general?

Or maybe Draeth is plotting something against Ithryx?

If Draeth suddenly interrupts this war by sending her Apostles then it would be a huge mess. And if Draeth is allied with Ithryx, then Richard can\'t trust Jennifer completely.

Well the Apostles of Darkness doesn\'t blindly follow the command, like the Apostles of Light, but still.

\'If she is blessed by Draeth…then there is a high chance for other Apostles to be around as well…\'

After a pause, Richard asked, "Can you not feel Aembr at all inside you?"

Jennifer asked, "Mana?"

Richard shook his head, "No, the energy I showed you just now…can you feel it within you?"

The girl shook her head, "No…nothing."

Richard heaved a sigh, as Lena asked, "Is there something concerning?"

Richard told her, "There is a chance for other apostles of Draeth to be present around as well. So I wanted to use Jennifer to track them before we start this negotiation."

Richard can sense them but he has to be quite close to them to tell that they are apostles of darkness.

However, the apostles were provided the ability to sense their kin. Like how Jasmine sensed Brad even though they were separated by floors.

"Then…what should I do?" A very dangerous thought came to her mind when Jennifer asked that.

What if…he asks her to awaken this power?! And to unlock it…s-sh-she has to have s-s-kyah!!

"I can\'t have sex with you!" Jennifer yelled as she covered her hot cheeks.

Richard raised his brows, "Relax, I ain\'t asking you to." Turning his eyes toward Lena, he said, "She won\'t be a part of this negotiation anymore."

"..."
