Kurika Village

Five Days Later…

The first village Theta saw since she entered the Lykus Empire for the first time. Clad in her maidservant garb, she made sure that her bangs covered almost half of her face. After making sure that Axue Mariyah would live like a sordid puppet – her puppet – once they entered the imperial palace, Theta Mariyah looked to her east where smoke was coming from.

It was a sizeable village – she guessed. She could vaguely make out the chatters and giggles of the people there. Picturing out the village from the Kingdom of Amina, she decided not to take a look.

Theta was about to merge with the darkness and spend her time cultivating while everyone was either asleep or resting.

"Are you sure you won't take a look?" 

Whipping her attention behind her, Theta let down a third of her vigilance upon seeing who was standing a meter behind her. Raising her brows, she stepped back from the darkness.

"What's your point?"
