Eternal Thief Chapter 1052 Riana’s Secret

Riana looked at Ace with an ashen expression and a bit hard on her cherry lips. She had never felt this helpless in front of soone before. This feeling was the sa as that existence, but unlike her, he didn't have any gentle or friendly aura.

Taking a deep breath, she finally decided and started to speak, "Alright, but you need to guarantee that you won't harm in any way after I reveal this information to you and, if possible, help reach the Ascension Altar."

Ace secretly sneered before he didn't show it, as a soul contract appeared in his hand. He threw it to Riana, saying, "You can fill it yourself."

Riana was startled. After confirming that it was a grade-8 soul contract, she quickly used her Qi to fill it in. After ensuring there wasn't any loophole, she threw it back, "Please check the conditions."

Ace glanced at the soul contract before he looked at her aningfully, "In return for the information, I will not attack you in any way, no matter the circumstance. Didn't this an you could attack ?

"Furthermore, you seed to forget about writing what kind of information I wanted, and you would tell nothing but the truth. This way, you can tell all kinds of fake information. Now, Princess Riana, I thought a person with your intelligence wouldn't miss such things. No worries; let correct them for you. After all, losing your intellect is normal in a situation like yours."

Although Ace didn't show it, Riana knew he was scoffing at her paltry tricks. This made her heart tremble a little and even blush in sha. She lost any thought of tricking him anymore.

Ace then altered the contract and threw it back. Although this didn't an anything to him, he still wanted Riana to give him accurate information, so he had to be discreet to ensure he got what he wanted.

Riana sighed in resignation before she signed the contract. There weren't any conditions binding or threatening her life as long as she told the truth and answered Ace's questions.

Ace did the sa, and the contract was finally established.

Ace suddenly waved his hand, and an exquisite table with two chairs appeared between them. Above it, there were wine glasses and bottles. Riana was startled by this action and speechless when she saw Ace leisurely taking a set, pouring wine for himself, and then inviting her to the other chair.

"Please sit; you don't need to worry about anyone coming or seeing us here, for I've already taken care of it." Ace coolly stated, and Riana apprehensively sat down.

Ace picked up a glass and said, "Alright, Princess Riana, let's start with your backer."

Riana held back her urge to roll her eyes and said, "It all started when I was born, and that day, the sky above the golden lion castle was filled with auspicious phenona.

"This is how the Imperial Family got wind of , and since my Father was ignorant and the Imperial family didn't co with the attitude of requesting, he let them examine .

"Because of their rich knowledge and having witnessed such a thing in the past, they instantly confird that I was born with a Fantastic Physique. So, just like how the imperial family always did things with talented outsiders, they didn't give an infant a chance to beco a thorn in their path.

"They arranged my marriage with their Crown Prince that very day and even used a soul contract to bind my Father. Nonetheless, it was thrilled news for a King to beco the Father of the future Empress, so he agreed without hesitation.

"When I was four years old, I experienced my first awakening of my Fantastic Physique, and without any prior knowledge of cultivation, I direction opened nine Soul gates of the Soul Gates Realm and caused another huge phenonon!

"This alard the imperial family, as it surpassed their expectations. They didn't know what kind of Fantastic Physique I had because they didn't have the tools to asure it. So, the only way to learn was through as I awakened the physique on my own.

"But to awaken a Fantastic Physique, certain steps and prerequisites must be completed, which are different for every physique. However, so extrely powerful physiques started to awaken on their own, which alard the imperial family.

"So, this ti, they summoned to the imperial palace and started to investigate, but I had no idea what was happening and was very afraid. In the end, they didn't find any answers.

"But the Empress didn't let the matter rest. She tricked into signing a soul contract, and not only that, but she secretly branded with her Soul Brand!" Riana's eyes swirled with killing intent and loathing when she revealed this.

Ace was also astounded by the cruelty of the imperial family; after all, Riana was just a four-year-old child at that ti, and to use the soul brand on her was akin to making a child her slave.

"I was just a child, so I didn't overthink about the soul contract and even felt happy that Empress was treating so well. I also had no idea about the soul brand she planted in .

"Truth be told, I was pleased about my marriage and dreamt of becoming the Empress, just like in a child's fairy tale. But then, at the age of twelve, I suddenly underwent my second awakening.

"This ti, I finally managed to understand the na and nature of my Fantastic Physique when I suddenly activated my innate ability and sohow connected with an entity out of this world, calling herself the Holy Mother!" She revealed solemnly.

Realization dawned on Ace at this mont, but he was also a spectacle, "What kind of physique do you have to connect you to such a being?" He was very curious.

Hesitating montarily, Riana revealed her biggest secret, "According to the Holy Mother, my Fantastic Physique is called the Astral Stellar Fantastic Physique, which can allow to peer into the mysteries of stars in the sky.

"Moreover, Holy Mother seed to have the sa fantastic physique, and that's how I connected with her through the stars. She told that this fantastic physique is extrely rare. I was the only fifteenth person to awaken this fantastic physique since ti immorial.

"Since then, she has guided , taught cultivation, and discovered the hidden soul brand in my soul. Since then, I have beco aware of the imperial family's disgusting tricks.

"But Holy Mother couldn't help get rid of the soul contract and soul brand because they had been with for quite so ti and completely assimilated into my soul, especially the soul brand.

"She also said it would alert so kind of causality law if she helped , and I might lose my power. That's why I joined the army to search for a thod to get rid of that soul brand so that I could be free. But it was far easier said than done, and I also couldn't kill the Empress or take any action against the imperial family because of the soul contract and soul brand.

"If it weren't for Holy Mother, I would've suffered a backlash just by thinking about how to get rid of the soul brand. In the end, I found nothing, and then Holy Mother told to start collecting materials to undergo a third awakening of my physique. She would help awaken another ability to help in my current predicant.

"It took nearly a decade to secretly collect all those materials, and then I was finally able to undergo my third awakening. But I didn't let anyone get the wind of it. The ability I awoke to after this awakening, with the help of the Holy Mother, is called Star Reading.

"This allows to read stars like divination, but I can only read about matters related to . It would've taken a very long ti to master this ability if it hadn't been for Holy Mother, and I could finally deduce so clues about the solution to my problem.

"This solution brought to the Sky Abyss Secret Realm, which was also cut off from the outside laws so Holy Mother could use so of her power.

"Ultimately, she helped find a mighty treasure in the Sky Abyss Secret Realm. Then, by sacrificing the wisp of consciousness she had within for years, she managed to bond it to my soul, and my curse was finally broken.

"But before she vanished, she used the last bit of her power to increase my cultivation to the limit and gave that Star Compass to bring to the ascension altar.

"However, depending on the altar's location and any danger in the way, I will use the star compass's power more. In the end, I brought it here, and before it could lead to the altar, it had exhausted all of its power. You had witnessed it yourself!"

Riana finally concluded her story as she looked deeply at Ace!
