As she was deep in thought, Charlotte noticed someone entering her domain, so she relaxed in her seat and stopped thinking about other things.
A few seconds later, a hooded woman arrived before her and knelt behind her.
Charlotte turned around in her chair and looked at her.
"I didn't expect that, among the Leaders, you would decide to come yourself, hadn't you been injured?" Charlotte asked.
The kneeling person nodded. "It's nothing serious, Lady. I heard you were calling for a person with the power of a Leader, so I came here before someone else stole my spot." She replied firmly, and Charlotte smiled.
She waved her hand a little from a distance and removed the hood from the woman standing there.
An impeccable face and an extraordinary aura were exposed. The aura of dignity and grandeur, coupled with her beauty and well-sculpted body, made Imperial Princess Vanessa Cromwell one of the most desired women in the world.
Her personality as 'Indomitable' made her more beloved.
But, today, she was kneeling submissively before Lady Charlotte.
Outside, many people considered the two to be in a competitive relationship. After all, Vanessa Cromwell was labeled as the greatest talent of the human race, even granted a never-before-given status and tremendous power throughout the Empire, thanks to her talent and power.
But, then, suddenly, a woman appeared, Lady Charlotte, who somehow received a much higher status than her own.
Vanessa's teacher is also the Leader of the Grand Sorcerers, who was the first to grant Lady Charlotte the new status.
All that makes many people believe that between the two there is a lot of rivalry. And for those in the know, they knew it was a rivalry where Charlotte would win.
But the reality was very different.
The two have never been rivals, as Vanessa is also known as Lady Charlotte's First Underling. She, who controls a large part of the Empire, is also someone's subordinate and in a very submissive way.
For Vanessa, this was not an insult; far from it, this was something normal. She knew the difference between herself and Charlotte. That is why she had never thought of herself as having a rival.
Charlotte would not want her pitiful position, so for her, there was no rival, only a Master.
Charlotte smiled, "How did you like fighting him? Do you think you can beat him?" She asked, and Vanessa frowned.
For a moment, she thought about that match once again.
For her, it was an exciting match full of surprises. She never imagined that someone so weak, could stand up to her. Worst of all, she doesn't know if she already saw the peak of his ability or if that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Seeing Charlotte's injuries, she felt that was just the tip of the iceberg. But that alone was exciting enough to leave her deep in thought for numerous hours.
"I don't know. I'm sure he can't kill such powerful people; otherwise, he would have done it to those old people who were seriously injured. But I still don't know what his ability is, nor can I understand it. Even I was internally wounded by the last strange ability he cast, which froze the entire sky of Spirit City. So, I honestly don't know if I can beat him, but fighting him was exciting.
He has a lot of amazing tricks." She was sincere and spoke slowly, showing the deep respect she had for Charlotte.
Charlotte nodded slightly. "If you came, it means you want to go after him, right? I see you want to fight him again."
Vanessa nodded. "If possible, I'd like to lead the offensive against him. But to be honest, I can't say for sure that I'll make it." She was sincere about that, though, in the end, she smiled.
"Unless you tell me a way to counter his abilities. I'm sure you have something to say now that you fought him." She spoke.
Charlotte smiled a little and leaned back in her chair gracefully. "You overestimate me a lot. That person might be as special as I. Do you know what that means? He might be the most troublesome being there is in the world. And our fight didn't last long.
I was hurt, and he was hurt, but he disappeared. There's nothing I could have analyzed from there." Charlotte replied, and Vanessa frowned.
"You mean..." She was surprised by Charlotte's first statements, and Charlotte nodded at her.
"Well, that's why I sent for one of the Leaders. It's time for the Empire to start moving so that, in a few years, the war against the vampire race can break out. We can't let that person develop any further; we need to move as soon as possible." He replied, surprising Vanessa once again.
"Then why don't all of us Leaders go after him? If we surround the Empire and the Leaders move, I don't think he can escape." She replied quickly, and Charlotte shook her head, throwing some small papers on the ground.
"Besides you, only two have agreed to carry the mission. The Leaders are not listening to me at the moment. They are focused on their pieces of land, living their lives greedily without much concern for the rest of things. And until the Great Leader comes out of seclusion, I can't get command of the Empire. So, there is nothing I can do.
If I send 3 Leaders, and he wounds them badly, do you think we can withstand a powerful onslaught from the vampire race?"
Charlotte sighed at last and looked up at the sky. "I'm bound by it too. I can't send them to die like that, and that's why I won't allow you to go. You are far more important than the rest of the Leaders, so we can't lose you. I will send someone else, and in the meantime, we will begin to employ our plan. So go back and sleep in one of the rooms on the mountain.
Your younger sisters will come in a couple of days, and we can start the second phase." Her blunt words made Vanessa at a loss for words to contradict anything.
In the end, Vanessa nodded softly and retired to rest.
While Charlotte turned her chair once more and smiled a little.
'Which Leader should I send? Which one was the stupidest?' She looked thoughtful, but soon after sent a message to inform a certain Leader, who had been chosen for the mission to chase that Vampire.
Although she doesn't like Matt being chased, because of her plans, it must be done so.
