The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1997 Joke

Chapter 1997 Joke

"So you finally got your revenge, Aunt Regina... I'm happy for you." Sarah said after the three of them finally passed through the entrance of the defense dome and arrived in the kingdom's capital.

Regina sighed and said. "Sigh, after all this time, I felt nothing when I saw his body... As much as he killed my first love, so much time has passed since my youth and my revenge. In the midst of it all, I still met your..."

She was about to speak but suddenly stopped and smiled. "Forget it. I kept my promise of revenge. That's all I wanted. Even if it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, that's all I have to worry about."

Sarah looked at the woman and realized she had feelings for her father. But she didn't say anything about it. She had known about her father's relationships with women other than his official wives since she was a child.

Sarah found some of her father's relationships strange, but she didn't get involved with them, so when she heard Regina, she just smiled and nodded at the woman.

"It's just a shame that Angela didn't get the chance to be here with me... She was my great companion, someone who was with me for a long time on my quest for revenge." Regina remembered her old mate who had died several years ago.

Angela had died at level 63, shortly after Sarah's birth. As a result, the young First Princess of the Black Plain Empire didn't remember Regina's old sparring partner very well.

"I'm sure she'd be happy," Sarah said as she touched one of Regina's shoulders.

"Yes, she would." Regina smiled, imagining she should visit her friend's grave again to talk about her revenge, something she hadn't done yet.

With those words, Sarah and George made their way to the imperial palace, while Regina made her way to the Dry City Mausoleum, the home of the local heroes.

...

Arriving at the imperial palace, Sarah found neither her father nor her mother on the premises.

However, she spotted her younger brother, Kendrick, and promptly stopped him.

"Kendrick, where are our parents?" She asked as she removed the hood from her face, attracting the attention of the brown-haired young man who was currently at level 64.

"Sarah? You and your husband are finally back!" He laughed as he ran to Sarah's side to hug her. "Sister, are you pregnant?"

"What did you say, you brat?" Sarah looked sternly at her younger brother as he laughed while hugging his older sister.

"At your age, our father had already impregnated your..." Kendrick was about to say when he was pinched in the stomach and forced to stop and jump away from his sister.

"You are the one who must give our father a grandchild, not me. You're his heir, Kendrick." Sarah said, not liking what her brother was saying as she had tried 'hard' to have George's child. 

Unfortunately, having a child together wasn't easy for people as strong as them with such unbalanced powers.

Sarah thought it would be impossible for her to get pregnant until she reached level 80. However, they kept trying because they both wanted to have a child together.

"Don't be like that, sister. I was just playing with you." Kendrick said as he tried to deal with the pain of Sarah's pinch. "Anyway, our father is in seclusion at the moment. He has reached level 86 in your absence and is approaching level 87. Since he's about to leave for the North Sea, he's increasing the amount of time he spends in seclusion.

But since he has been absent from our city for about two months, I believe he will return in the next four weeks along with his mother and Aunt Isabella." He answered Sarah's questions.

"My mother and Aunt Ruth are in the city. If you want to look for them, go to army headquarters or the central warehouse in the city." 

"Oh? I'll see them later."

Kendrick saw his sister walking toward the imperial throne room and waved to George, greeting Sarah's husband before continuing on his way.

Arriving at the imperial throne hall, Sarah saw some of the imperial guards she had grown up near, such as Eduard and Grayson, both currently at level 80, not far from the next level.

But besides them, they also saw Starclaw, whom she hadn't seen for several years before her marriage to George.

Starclaw was level 90, and since she had been working a lot in the sea area of the empire, she was rarely found in Dry City.

But today, she was there, returning from a mission.

Meanwhile, Dillian sat on the throne of Minos, handling local affairs in the leader's absence.

At level 81, Dillian was no longer able to cultivate as fast as some of the most important members of the imperial family.

Since he was at the last stage of cultivation that his talent could take him to, from now on, this butler and doctor of the Stuart family would go through something similar to what happened to Demigods. His cultivation would become slower and slower, and he would no longer be able to improve his level.

It was sad but also unbelievable because only a few people could reach the peak of their potential.

Seeing the man who had always been there for her father, her, and her siblings, Sarah smiled as she watched Dillian take care of local business.

Meanwhile, Maisie and Oswald were also there, father and daughter finally on the same cultivation level.

Oswald was already quite old, over 5,000 years old. Meanwhile, Mabel was practically the same age as George, so she could advance through the 9th stage relatively quickly.

So it was only a matter of time before she surpassed her own father, which was impressive but something Sarah had no hope of achieving.

Anyway, having been noticed by these people, Dillian and company would soon finish what they were working on to welcome Sarah back after years of her absence.

Upon meeting some of her family, Sarah would hear them congratulate her on her spiritual growth during her honeymoon, while George would stand on the sidelines and watch this reunion.

He hadn't improved his level over the years but wasn't far from reaching level 88.

His cultivation speed couldn't be compared to the most important members of the Stuart family.

While things were more difficult for people like George, the women of Minos had all made progress in the past two and a half years, and Gloria was even close to reaching level 85.

George and Sarah would soon discover this when they talked to the people in the imperial throne hall!
