Lotus City

"How do I say this?" Vonn muttered, his eyes fixed on Laiza, who stood firmly with her arms crossed. "You already defeated the Terror?"

Laiza, adorned in her royalty-like golden dress, radiated elegance. Her appearance, combined with her noble aura, was striking. It was clear she had changed significantly since Vonn left, though it hadn't been too long.

She nodded. "I did defeat it. But it won't be for long. It promised to return."

Vonn snorted. "That monster talked?"

"Yep, it did. And it wasn't anything pleasant to hear."

Vonn chuckled. "I can imagine. Still, I didn't expect that. Though, considering you've still got the Dark Realm Queen in your blood—her reincarnation, no less—it makes sense."

Laiza sighed and gestured for Vonn to sit on the couch. They were now in the Renyard Mansion's lavish living room.
