The Eldest Princess nodded silently. She knew this topic would weigh heavily on Albert’s mood, so she didn’t press further.Meanwhile, the young King stole glances at Albert as the two conversed. Whenever her wandering eyes brushed across his handsome, faintly troubled face, she would quickly dart them away.Yet her furtive stares did not escape Albert’s notice. He smiled at once and said, It seems the venom has been completely purged from Your Majesty’s body, hasn’t it?At the mention of the venom, the young King’s cheeks flushed involuntarily. She hung her head, her eyes fixed on her toes.Albert froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and he too felt a flicker of awkwardness. In the past, when treating her, she had always removed her upper garments, and Albert had performed the detoxification close against her body. Back then, neither of them had thought anything of it. But now that the young King had reclaimed her true gender identity, recalling those moments felt di

Governor Shane then glanced behind Albert. Joseph, Ilya, and Angel stood there in silence, their expressions rather cold, showing no intention of striking up a conversation. Yet from the faint yet palpable pressure emanating from their bodies, it was clear that all three were Divine-Rank powerhouses.This sent a chill down Governor Shane’s spine. Since when did the Martin family have so many Divine-Rank powerhouses at its disposal?In response to Governor Shane’s amiability, Albert was equally polite. After all, the Martin family would soon establish its headquarters at their old residence in Navia City, meaning he would inevitably have to deal with the governor on a regular basis….Albert, what exactly is the situation in Newhurst City right now? After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Holt finally asked, his eyes filled with concern.Governor Shane also leaned forward, listening intently.I’m sure you’ve already heard some news about the upheaval in Newhurst City, Albert replied.

Emily nodded gently, then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she took the initiative to tiptoe and press a soft kiss to Albert’s lips.After that, she hesitated no longer. Though her heart was filled with overwhelming reluctance, she pulled out of Albert’s embrace, stretched out her long legs, and walked toward Christie.Albert stood rooted to the spot in silence, the sky full of sunset glow and that graceful figure reflected in his pupils. Amidst the many gazes brimming with reluctance, Emily reached Christie’s side. The latter gave her a warm smile, then brilliant light radiated from her whole body, enveloping Emily’s form within it.In the next moment, a streak of glowing light shot up into the sky, tearing through the sunset clouds and streaking toward the horizon.As Albert stared at the fading streak of light, a faint voice, wrapped in soul power, drifted faintly to his ears.Albert, remember our bet.Her voice sounded somewhat ethereal, yet also carried the bewitching allure

Albert rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve ever heard Mom and Dad mention anything about your origins, Sister Emily.He still remembered the time when Andrew and Charlotte had brought Emily back home with them—she had been around four or five years old then. But no one had ever said a word about where she came from, or who her biological parents were.Emily froze for a moment at the question, then fell silent for a while before replying, I don’t have any memories of that at all.Her delicate eyebrows knitted slightly as she murmured, My earliest memories seem to start from the very first moment I met Master and Mistress… Everything before that is just darkness.Albert frowned too. How strange was that? It seemed Sister Emily’s origins were quite mysterious. He also recalled that when he’d watched Charlotte’s recorded message earlier, she’d said that she and Andrew owed Emily a debt. What did that mean?He pondered the question, but came up with no

Though it’s not exactly fair, the reward is incredibly generous. Are you sure you won’t take the gamble?A faint, warm breath brushed against Albert’s ear. The subtle implication woven into that soft voice made him catch on instantly. He swallowed hard twice, his gaze locking onto Emily’s glistening earlobes—now tinted a faint shade of crimson—and his breathing grew heavy and ragged.The stakes were so high that not even the calmest person in the world could possibly refuse.Deal! he declared firmly.Emily’s departure was set for two days later.This meant she wouldn’t even be able to accompany the Martin family convoy back to Navia City. Yet everyone understood there was no other choice—time was far too pressing for Emily. Her burning Light Heart was sapping her life force with every passing moment; the longer the delay, the more severe her condition would become.So after confirming that the Holy Light Ancient Academy could resolve the crisis of her Light Heart, Albert, despite the
Chapter 826
Fine then—I won’t enroll in the Holy Light Ancient Academy at all! I’ll go there and earn money to support Sister Emily outside the academy gates! Albert declared.Christie was left torn between amusement and exasperation. Meanwhile, Angel quickly shook her head and urged, Absolutely not, Albert! Doing that would only hold back your cultivation! You’re at an age where you should be advancing by leaps and bounds—you mustn’t squander this crucial time!Even Emily spoke up earnestly, Albert, you can’t afford to neglect your own problems either. If you go all the way to the Holy Light Ancient Academy but can’t get in to cultivate, you’ll be wasting the most precious years of your life. If that’s the case, then there’s no need for me to go to the academy at all.I’d rather not be separated from you anyway. I’ll just go to the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent with you instead. It’s also an Inner Divine Continent—there might be a way to resolve the burning of my Light Heart there too.Albert
