While Aster was cuddling with Lilia to sleep, at what used to be throne room of the castle, Camila and pair of elders were sitting together, one of the elders was the one that spoke with Aster when he offered them the opportunity to help Isaac recover his cultivation.
The other one was an old woman which wasn't present when Isaac was celebrating his "victory" with a banquet.
The old woman looked at Camila's new appearance and she sighed.
"Little girl, was this done to you by that kid… is he trying to force you or sothing?".
Camila blushed, she never paid too much attention to vanity and stuff like that, although she was quite a beauty in her teenage years, she had too much things on her shoulders to worry about herself.
So, with the pass of the years her beauty was overshadowed by all the problems she had to solve for her family, besides so insinuations Isaac made at her, she had to deal with all the troubles caused by him and his idiot son and also manage the resources which weren't hogged by Isaac.
And now that woman who never had ti for her own happiness, was now brimming with youth, in the eyes of others she even changed her appearance dying her hair and using sothing to alter the color of her eyes.
Which wasn't the case, she wasn't even 60 years old, it's just that the many years of worries made her look tired, but now not only she awakened her bloodline, she even broke through to the star tribulation realm… in other words she was dazzling.
Add that to the fact that the whole city of Ghaleria saw her tagging along with Aster and his parade of beauties, of course rumors have already started to spread.
"Ahem, that's not the case aunt, this is… sothing that happened thanks to the inheritance left behind by the ancestor".
"What!!!".
Both elders shouted when they heard Camila's words, their eyes widened as they both stood up and evaluated her from head to toe.
Unfortunately, they were just normal stellar constellation realm cultivators, so how could their spirit senses see through the secrets of a star tribulation realm cultivator, but that did give them a hint, since the last ti they were still sohow able to sense Camila's realm.
The elder took a breath of cold air.
"Your cultivation… you surpassed Isaac!".
The old woman had a confused expression as she looked at Camila.
"Lass what is happening, was this caused by the things inside that chest?".
Besides Camila, these two elders were the only ones who knew about the existence of the chest, in case sothing happened to the supre elder, there had to be one to carry with the duty of protecting it.
These two elders were selected by Camila's father as they were his friends since they were young, a relationship which was kept a secret from the patriarch of course.
Camila then proceeded to tell them about how the chest revealed the lock inside the wolf's mouth when Aster wore the ring, also she showed them the dal which now only had the initials of the ancestor since the wolf engraving disappeared.
After listening to the whole story, the elders were in awe.
"So that kid turned to be the one to which that chest fated… perhaps Isaac's death was a blessing in disguise for our Wolfstein family, to think I would get to see the heir of our ancestor with my own eyes".
The old woman chuckled.
"What "see", you an you got your ass threatened by him".
Camila had a weird smile on her face, these couple of elders always acted like this.
"Ahem, aunt and uncle, today I called you two here, because I want you to accompany to a eting that will take place at the Ghale family tomorrow, Aster told to bring so people I consider trust worthy, so of course I chose you".
The old woman smirked.
"So "Aster" and not "kid" or "Lilia's son", since when you got so close to him, perhaps our little Camila is finally blooming as a woman".
Camila didn't know whether she should laugh or cry, only now she noticed she called Aster directly by his na, it wasn't her fault though, not even Mylene who was supposed to be a servant was asked to be formal with Aster.
Camila left a good first impression in all the girls, Lilia already considered her the only decent Wolfstein, that's why she even gave her the suppression bracelet to help her, and she was also invited to spent the day with them.
Only now she realized she was actually being quite informal with them.
"Don't mock aunt, what's the point in worrying about things like nas or titles, the future of the whole Rodia star cluster can change with just a few words of him".
The elder doubted for a mont before saying what was on his mind.
"You want to go with them, right?".
Although Camila didn't show it on her face, how could the old man which knew her since she was a little girl not notice, the fire of adventure burning in her eyes.
Being talentless isn't the end of a cultivator, in fact since the existence of so evil or miraculous techniques, even death wasn't the end for so people, the end of a cultivator is when they lose their will to keep advancing.
Being a cultivator ans going against the heavens, which requires a strong will, when a cultivator loses its courage that is the end of the road for him.
For example, there are people that reach a certain point and then they stop advancing because sotis failing a break through ans dying.
Camila shook her head and then stood up.
"What are you saying uncle, my duty is to supervise the Wolfstein family, if you excuse , I'm a bit tired, so I will take my leave".
Seeing Camila leaving the elder looked at the sky and then sighed.
"She is as stubborn as you, old bastard… don't worry I won't let your daughter give up her future for this stupid family".
The old woman had a nostalgic expression as she patted her husband's shoulder.
"You are also part of the "stupid family", you know it too, that kid wasn't going to stay here for too long, and she just happened to return to the azure sky planet at the sa ti he appeared here".
"And surprisingly that sa kid turned out to be the one which could open that chest… she even changed so much after a few hours of eting him, I don't believe in such a coincidence can exist".
…
Camila went to her room; she took of her clothes and just kept her underwear before throwing herself at her bed.
She placed a pillow on top of her face and rolled on her bed, she only stopped after noticing things were starting to shake as if they were to float towards here like what happened in the morning.
She took the pillow of her face and then cald down, the dim blue light from the bracelet helped her regain her composure and then she just closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The night went on without anything else happening and when morning ca, Aster once again opened his eyes finding the current situation quite strange, besides his mother all the other girls were sleeping while keeping so distance from him.
Which he of course found weird, specially from Alice which always clung to him like a koala, but then he also rembered he didn't leave the bathroom, which ant he fell asleep while they were bathing and the girls brought him to the bed.
"Rya what happened, is my stupid bloodline ssing with again?", he asked in a sowhat annoyed voice.
Rya which was resting inside the mind space yawned before replying.
"No, you exhausted your soul quite a bit yesterday, that's why you fell asleep like that, but that is not weird considering you as a spirit opening realm cultivator managed to finish a whole piece of the soul weapon needed by the soul crushing parade".
There is no such a thing like a power easy to obtain, soul crushing parade could multiply the strength of the attack trice, but the amount of soul energy used to create the weapon needed was huge, that's why most people choose a small weapon… and Aster chose a longsword instead.
Rya originally thought it was going to take him a couple of months to condense and maintain a piece of it, but sohow Lilia helped him to accelerate the process and even Rya who technically was the one that knew more about Aster, had no way to explain why it was like that.
Aster carefully stood up from the bed, not without caressing his mother's pretty face, his heart felt warm after seeing her taking care of him the whole night.
With a wave of his hand the black poml he condensed yesterday appeared floating above of him, now that it was ford, Aster could modify it with just a bit of effort as long as the main design didn't change.
Using the current beautiful sight of Lilia sleeping as his inspiration, Aster made so gestures with his hands and then an engraved image of Lilia appeared on the poml, he changed it until it was up to his liking.
"It does look like darling, but why do you need a draw when you have the real one here for you ♥".
While Aster was giving the final details to his work, he heard Lilia's charming voice.
He stopped what he was doing and approached Lilia to kiss her.
"What can I say, when it cos to , beauties and swords seem to be related".
Both Rya and Lilia couldn't help but say.
"Sweet talker ♥".
