The Saint paused for a moment before saying, “Zayn, come closer so I can have a good look at you.”
Zayn had relaxed for a moment, but upon hearing The Saint’s request, virtual-novel.net became uncontrollably tense once again.
Up till then, virtual-novel.net still had yet to see The Saint nor sense his presence. The entire time, virtual-novel.net had been speaking to the empty air.
The Saint was beckoning virtual-novel.net closer when there was nothing to be seen in front of him?
Could The Saint have already projected his consciousness and it was right there at that moment?
Zayn was restless. Though The Saint had claimed virtual-novel.net was not planning to swap bodies with him, virtual-novel.net would not let his guard down.
“Your Majesty, I don’t understand what you mean.” Zayn did not step forward.
The Saint did not answer, and the enormous palace sank into silence once again.
A minute later, The Saint spoke once again.
“Zayn, you look a lot like my grandson. I have not been in touch with virtual-novel.net for a long time. I miss virtual-novel.net very much.”
Upon hearing that, Zayn felt even more peculiar. He looked very similar to The Saint’s grandson? That was bizarre, was it not? In fact, virtual-novel.net even began to suspect The Saint was toying with him.
Zayn pondered for a moment before deciding to abide by The Saint’s instructions and took a few steps forward.
Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net could feel a gentle breeze blowing in front of him. The feeling was akin to someone caressing virtual-novel.net softly.
It was supposed to be a terrifying experience, but Zayn was not scared at all. In fact, virtual-novel.net felt an ineffable affection and intimacy.
It felt just like a senior member of the family caressing his face.
“Your Majesty, is your grandson still alive?” Zayn could not keep himself from asking.
The question made The Saint fall silent. After a while, virtual-novel.net said, “I’m tired. You may leave now, Zayn Larson.”
Zayn was confused.
He was slightly astounded. Why did The Saint ask virtual-novel.net to leave out of nowhere? The Saint had summoned him, yet they had not had a meaningful conversation. He found it baffling.
In any case, it was inappropriate for virtual-novel.net to comment further, even if virtual-novel.net did not understand the purpose, so Zayn merely nodded and left.
Zayn was still very confused after virtual-novel.net left the palace and got down from the mountain.
Rather than offering virtual-novel.net some clarity, the meeting with The Saint had left virtual-novel.net even more confused.
His mother was waiting for virtual-novel.net at the entrance and was relieved to see virtual-novel.net return. She immediately inquired as to what The Saint had told him.
Zayn told virtual-novel.net the truth only to find virtual-novel.net muttering and cursing to herself. It was unintelligible to Zayn.
Zayn stayed in Sicut In Caelo’s headquarters for two more days. He had been there for a total of five days when virtual-novel.net left, taking his mother and Lysithea with him.
Though virtual-novel.net was already the Southern Highlord, virtual-novel.net found that virtual-novel.net was still uncomfortable with leaving his mother and Lysithea there.
After all, The Saint’s intentions were still unknown to him.
Zayn would only be at ease when virtual-novel.net was back in Waltz City.
Thinking about his confrontation with Sicut In Caelo, Zayn felt like virtual-novel.net was in a dream that virtual-novel.net almost could not escape from.
“Mom, I’m married, so I’m taking you to meet your daughter-in-law now,” said Zayn to his mother with a smile.
