Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Meanwhile… Back in Eldoria…

It has been three days since Tang Yue had left and the entire Salvatore household was in an uproar.

General Salvatore finally released Charlotte from her house arrest, but the beautiful elf was not in the least happy about it.

She had been gone missing for so long, but still, there was absolutely no word from Tang Yue. Not even one single message.

After being treated so coldly by Xander for years together, this kind of thing ticked off Charlotte the most.

The worst part was that she couldn't even bring herself to stay mad at Tang Yue because she knew about the incident involving the strange human being.

He had attacked both Tang Yue and Master Miller, the two only barely managing to escape the ordeal.

So she had been extremely worried and had begged and pleaded with her father to release her.

However, the man had denied all her requests and turned a deaf ear to her pleas.

Charlotte was sure that Tang Yue would not let this continue but she was also very embarrassed to depend on her.

She was the one who had face life-threatening dangers and she had to rescue her once again? 

The last thing Charlotte wanted was to become a useless burden to Tang Yue. So she cursed her bad luck and silently bore with this punishment.

She was already determined to cut ties with her family. They might be able to hold her back now but for how long?

Considering her house arrest as a close door secluded meditation session, Charlotte had been cultivating day and night. Without bothering Yue, she wanted to get out of this stupid prison herself.

She was already at the Saint realm, if she steps into the Demi-God realm, who would be able to stop her anymore?

She can then turn this bullshit rune into dust and break down the chamber doors which her father had closed on her face.

However, all of this was for naught, when three days ago, General Salvatore willingly undid the seal on her chamber.

Charlotte's eyes snapped open in surprise. She didn't understand what was happening but she was no longer under the rune restriction.

So she immediately tried sending messages to Tang Yue but once again she was unable to reach her.

What the hell? The beautiful elf fumed and sulked.

"My release most probably has something to do with Yue? Otherwise, that jerk wouldn't have compromised and let me go so soon."

"But why the hell is she not here?"

"Did that man force her to do something in exchange for my release?" Charlotte paced back and forth, unable to wait for Yue to respond to her any longer.

She decided that it was time for her to go to the royal palace and get some answers that she deserved.

She knew that Tang Yue wouldn't have purposefully kept her in the dark and that was what worried her.

No matter how powerful Tang Yue could become in the future, the truth was that Xander was more powerful than both of them combined together.

That alone made her nervous. She was worried that the man had tied her up somewhere and was forcing himself on her.

Knowing Xander, Charlotte had a bad feeling. That was a man who would go to any lengths to achieve what he wanted and she knew that he wanted Yue.

Her mind spun wildly, making Charlotte more and more worried and she rushed out of her chamber, no longer able to control herself.

No matter what she needed to know what was happening.

As she ran out, she saw her father's figure looming in a corner of the main hall and she glared at him fiercely before leaving.

General Salvatore could only sigh in return. The man could no longer understand the Crown's actions and he simply gave up.

Something weird was going on here and he had no intention of getting in between. He sighed and sipped his tea as he stared into the distance.

Charlotte, on the other end, rushed through the streets of the royal city, reaching the palace in under two seconds.

She didn't care about any rules and regulations and directly barged into the Crown's private quarters without hesitation.

She saw the two guards standing at the door and barked at them, her face still mesmerizing even when she was fuming like a volcano. "Get out of my way."

The guards instantly broke out into a cold sweat and started trembling. "Lady Charlotte, please…" They tried to reason with her.

They were also Saint realm experts just like Charlotte but clearly she had a much higher status than them since her father was Xander's trusted General and one of the feared experts.

"I said get out." Charlotte commanded.

"Please, your highness… I mean, my Lady" One of the guards stammered and even clasped his hands together, literally praying to her. 

"If you know what's good for you, get the out of my way. I won't repeat myself another time." Charlotte crossed her hands in front of her chests, her two voluptuous breasts heaving up and down.

"His highness is in the courtroom. Please visit him there." The other guard begged her, almost falling at her feet.

But what he said only made Charlotte angrier. "Who said that I was here to visit him???" Her voice thundered in the long empty corridors.

Most probably from hearing all the ruckus outside, the main door opened and a familiar figure stepped out.

Charlotte instantly paled, her anger fizzling as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her.

She quickly collapsed on the marble floor, kneeling and kowtowing multiple times.

"Please forgive me, Master. I was not there when you needed me the most. Please forgive me."

"Ah~" Miller scratched his head sleepily. "Don't worry child. Even if you were there, it wouldn't have mattered much."

"So don't blame yourself too much. Get up first. Come inside and we can then talk."
