Gate Completion

There was a female mage known to rival Ames in the Higher Realm.

The female mage was a member of the Blade Dancer Clan named Raelia. Although, at the moment, Raelia was directly working under The Emperor, she was one of the Blade Dancer Clan's pride.

In any case, Alta viewed Raelia as her role model, while she saw Ames as a target to surpass. Thus, seeing the latter in person while in such a complicated arrangement with Kyran— whom Ames confirmed was her family— truly made Alta feel complex emotions.

"Let's continue this in the palace," Ames suggested, diverting the conversation and heading towards the palace's direction. "You've arrived at the perfect time. We're in the final phase of the gate's construction and need assistance activating the last few calculations for a stable path successfully." The anticipation for the gate's completion was palpable.
