Selma Payne’s POV:
“I’ve served the royal family since the time of the late King, and I’ve seen at least 800, if not 1000, personnel transfers over the years. I’ve long been used to the younger generation pushing the older generation into retirement,” Kara said.
“I started as an ordinary servant and was guided step by step by my seniors to the position of the head servant. From the day I replaced the head servant as the acting head servant, I knew that this day would come sooner or later. The old will grow old, and the new will grow. The old replacing the new is an ancient and unchanging truth, it’s that simple.”
Dorothy and I couldn’t help but sigh at Kara’s open mind. At the same time, we were happy for her.
Kara, who had worked hard for the royal family all her life, never showed her fatigue in front of others. On the day of her retirement, she could finally live a leisurely and happy life like an ordinary person.
However, I only knew a little about Bertha, and I hadn’t had many chances to meet her in the past few days. I should find time to get to know this head servant.
Morning, training ground.
That was right. Even after experiencing such an adventurous life, my training had not stopped. In terms of physical strength and constitution, Aldrich was already no match for me. After all, I had strengthened this body a lot the minute I became a god. However, in terms of experience and skill, I was still far from a battle-hardened general.
The change happened in an instant.
The strange discomfort made it difficult for me to control my body, and I almost used a ridiculous method, like using my left foot to trip my right foot.
My heart was beating like a drum in my chest. I could almost hear the sound of my blood flowing through my bones. My muscles trembled and expanded. Golden moth-like patterns were faintly visible on my skin. A faint light was flowing through my body like magma flowing through cracks.
Aldrich hurriedly hugged me tightly to the lounge, and a few minutes later, the small lounge was filled with people.
As usual, Master Mary and Tracy checked my body.
“Some signs of a transformation,” Master Mary said. “In addition, I can observe some unusual power surging. Due to Your Highness’s special experience, I believe that Your Highness’s transformation will bring about some unexpected changes, but it’s probably not a bad thing.”
Tracy agreed, “That’s right. Your Highness is about to have your first transformation. However, there are some abnormalities in your physiological data. Perhaps you have experienced a forced transformation earlier?”
This question made me freeze – that was when we were dealing with Adele’s crisis in the garden. To confess my feelings to Aldrich, I had to transform into Maxine.
But how should I explain this? My parents were here. They wouldn’t agree with me doing this. If they knew, they’d be disappointed.
However, I didn’t have to say anything. My expression said it all.
Fortunately, it was not the time to be concerned about these minor details, so no one was holding on to this. I had to rely on myself to get through this. This meant that everything would have to be done by Maxine and me. No one could help.
Master Mary and Tracy were arranged to be on duty in case anything happened to me. My parents simply didn’t go back and ordered someone to set up a bedroom in the empty lounge. According to the rules, ministers were kept from staying overnight in the palace for no reason. However, Aldrich was not an ordinary minister, so he stayed with my parents.
Even Dorothy, who was in the academy, had rushed back.
After switching to Mullwica’s eyes, the side effects of the Eye of Insight had miraculously disappeared. Dorothy felt that the records of the witches of the ancestors were not very accurate. Rather than calling it a ‘close blood relation’, it would be more appropriate to call it a ‘close soul relation’. Even if there were no biological blood relation, it would take effect as long as the soul was close.
Let us get back to the present. Perhaps because of that one minute of godhood, the effect of the Eye of Insight on me was greatly reduced. Dorothy was unable to see through me like how she saw other people. She could only obtain a few clues, like how she usually captured prophecies. I couldn’t even be seen in normal prophecies.
After analyzing the Eye of Insight, she said palely, “It’s a good result. Although there are no exact images, I feel the result is good.”
Looking at her face covered in sweat, I couldn’t help but worry. “You look very weak. Are you okay?”
“It’s fine. This is the price to pay.” She waved her hand and did not care. “The Eye of Insight is not as useful as I thought. Every time I use it, I have to pay a huge price. However, compared to the previous life force loss, this controllable method is much better.”
Night soon fell.
I was restless the entire day, and my heartbeat was accompanied by tinnitus, making me restless. I felt like I had stayed up all night for a week, and my mind was on the verge of sudden death.
This feeling was even more intense after the moon appeared.
“Do you feel it? It’ll be here soon,” said Maxine.
That was right. I could feel the violent elements flowing in my blood. They were like flames that made my entire body burn, restlessly attempting to extinguish the evil fire with the moonlight.
