Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Aura (222)

Suddenly, Kai's thought about the entire mountain teleporting somewhere didn't sound that far fetched.

"What do you mean by that?"

Cecilia sighed.

"The blizzard seems to... like the mountain. Every once in a while, it will teleport the mountain. It can only be teleported in the four cardinal directions, but the distance it's teleported back in that direction varies.

It's North right now, and luckily it's closer than usual, but I'm not sure when it will get shifted again."

Why couldn't anything be easy?

Kai was near certain that he was getting screwed over by someone. Even though everything ended up okay, just the process of getting to okay made him want to sleep for a week.

... Even though he had nearly already done that.

"Fine... We'll rush to the base of the mountain, from there we can slow our pace a little and make sure we reach the peak safely."

Cecilia nodded in response.

"Okay then."

Kai then watched as the ex-Queen packed up the tent. It was a rather simple process, it just went directly into her spatial storage ring, making Kai wonder how much internal space it actually had.

Once it was stored, the six of them set off towards the Royal Peak.

Kai softly bounced on Umbra's back, Remy also clutching onto the wolf's pristine black fur.

Realising that he was still only wearing his bodysuit, Kai equipped the rest of his items.

His Chrome Skin slid over his bodysuit, the silver liquid solidifying and creating a lustrous set of armour.

His boots appeared over his feet, wrapping around his feet and giving them another layer of comfort.

His spatial storage ring manifested around his finger. The only thing stored inside it was the Shopkeeper's rickety table, but Kai was sure that he would probably find something useful or cool along this journey.

And lastly, the Flame of Hope placed itself around his neck, the ember in the centrepiece still burning softly.

His stats increased with all the items, making Kai feel a little more confident, but that was a false sense of it as if any beast like the one who made his ears bleed by roaring showed up a small boost in stats wouldn't make much of a difference while getting crushed beneath it.

"So, Petunia, what's the first thing that you are going to do when we get out of here?"

Cecilia spoke in an effort to keep the young girl entertained, but also to keep her happy.

She had to have gone through a lot in these last seven months, especially since Castillian took such a heavy interest in her.

Cecilia knew that nothing indecent was done to Petunia, but she was still abused and forced to endure all of Castillian's insults and arrogance, who knows what that would do to a young girl?

But to the ex-Queen's surprise, she seemed to be handling everything well. And not just well, extremely well, it was like it hadn't affected her at all.

It was kind of eerie, but Cecilia assumed that the child had locked it all away as a sort of coping mechanism, which wasn't necessarilly a bad thing right now, but could affect her in the future.

"I'm going to find my daddy, then I'm going to go eat waffles."

Cecilia laughed softly, the melodic sound ringing in Kai's ears.
