The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 941 Fooling Yourself

Chapter 941 Fooling Yourself

"I am lucky to have someone like you on my side, Jade." King Carline said this in a moved tone as he made his way toward his wife's lips.

"Mmmmm~"

"Hey! I'm still here, you know?" Kara immediately shouted this awkwardly, feeling bad for having to see her old father and mother like that.

p????-?o??? 'Disgusting!'

As for those two, they just smiled awkwardly, feeling that they had forgotten about the presence of that girl there.

But what could they do? Kara had not been a part of their everyday life for years, so it was not strange that they had lost certain precautions...

"You don't have to act like that, little Kara. Isn't it normal for your parents to do that?" King Carline commented in satisfaction, feeling much better than before.

As for Jade, she just stood there in silence, unconsciously making comparisons.

"Sigh..."

Raymond then put his smile aside and made a serious expression. "Anyway, we will soon have a big event north of the Black Plain. The Spiritual Church representative for our region will be hosting an event between our organizations and that little demon."

"Oh?"

"Will something good come out of all this?" Kara asked in interest.

Her father then shook his head in disagreement. "Probably not."_{p????-?????.???}

"But even so, even though the church has already authorized the coming of our descendants from the empire, they won't be able to start acting until that event happens."

"So, we have to participate in that regardless of what we decide in the future."

Jade felt interested in this and said. "That's not bad..."

"We can try to resolve our differences with that person during that event."

"When will that happen?"

"In about two months."

Her eyes then sharpened while her hands suddenly closed. "Then we have to leave as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, we will lose the best opportunity to close our deal with him without arousing suspicion!"

"Uh? But..." Raymond felt a little strange about this, but what his dear wife was saying made a lot of sense.

He still wanted to think about it, but the trip to that part of the Black Plain would last almost the period left for such an encounter to happen.

Hence, he could study Minos' actions in this period and still communicate with his wife about his decision before that event.

For thinking about it, he failed to refute Jade's words. _{p???? ?o???}

"Then, it's settled!" She said this with a determined look on her face. "I will leave tomorrow for Black Plain while you take care of the kingdom."

"As soon as you make up your mind, send me a crow with your message." She paused for a moment, looking up at the blue sky in that part of the Kingdom of the End. "I will do my best to do my duty!"

"Hmm, I will too," Kara said, distracting her father, who was looking at Jade thoughtfully.

"What did you say?"

"Haven't I already told you that you won't be involved in this anymore? So, why are you talking such nonsense now?" He asked in an irritated manner.

But Kara already had an answer ready for those questions. "You misunderstand me, dad. I will only accompany my mother."

"After we reach the Black Plain, I will follow back to the Flaming Empire."

"I have already been here for several months, and soon my free time will end. Then, I must return to the sect."

"Oh? But the Spiritual Church has already approved our descendants coming to our region..."

"That doesn't matter, dad. My sect has not freed me to come here to help the family, but rather because I have earned some time for myself through the missions I have accomplished."

"So, if I want to stay around, I'm afraid this will create problems for me..."

"That... That makes sense, but..." _????????????

"Honey, let's let our daughter do things her own way. Let's not create problems for her." Jade supports Kara while holding one of Raymond's arms affectionately.

"Sigh..."

"Fine."

"But don't even think about continuing to embarrass our family, you hear me, girl?" He asked her incisively. "I don't want you getting anywhere near that scumbag."

"Oh? All right, then."

"Good!"

"Then, take advantage of the situation to travel back with brother. You two have spent a lot of time away from each other, so it's good to use this opportunity to get together." He remarked, just before he left that place, going to attend to other matters.

After that, Kara continued in that place in silence, not knowing what the trip back to the empire would be like alongside Ford.

Previously they had planned to do this, and at the time, this woman had thought this could be an excellent opportunity for the two to have fun during the months they would have to travel together.

However, because of all the things that had happened since her visit to Dry City, Kara could not imagine this trip developing in the way she had thought.

Ford had found out about her affair with Minos and argued with her a few nights ago after that young man had left this city.

He felt highly betrayed by Kara, and even though they had spent weeks on the same property, they had done nothing with each other.

And to tell the truth, Kara herself was not that interested in doing those things with her brother during this period.

Not that she had fallen in love with Minos and therefore changed her mind about her brother. But after the nights with young Stuart and the many discussions with Ford, the heat between her and her brother had diminished considerably.

Kara still thought that her time with Ford had been magnificent, and she had no regrets. But that seemed like something from the past, something to remember in the future, but not so much something to continue.

Therefore, she could not help but feel awkward about having to travel alongside her brother.

"Sigh..."

'That will be problematic.' She pondered, thinking about how to work it all out. 'Maybe it will be better if I stayed in Dry City for a few days and let Ford continue the journey on his own...'

'After that, I'll still be able to make it to the Gray Clouds Sect in time.'

On the other hand, while Kara had many ideas in mind, Jade had already disappeared from that place, having headed towards her room to prepare for this trip.

She had to take some unique things with her this time, which she would usually leave in her closet due to the slight need to use that here...

However, since she was going to negotiate with Minos, her womanly instincts told her not to forget those pieces of clothing that he had liked so much...

And in doing so, she was trying her best not to smile in satisfaction due to the strange thoughts in her mind.

'And to think that Raymond accepted all that...' She bit her lips as she stood still inside her closet. 'This is so exciting!'

...

The next day, Jade, Kara, and Ford left Mirabella together, heading towards the Black Plain!

Of those three people, one had a stressed expression on his face, while the other two looked much better, with a glow on their skins that was hard to ignore.

But even though Jade and Kara looked well, both had serious expressions on their faces as they said goodbye to the command of this family.

"Honey, don't worry about me," Jade said from over the back of her beast. "I won't try anything dangerous, and as soon as everything is settled, I will return."

"Hmm, I hope everything works out." He said as he nodded to her.

"It will!"

After listening to his wife, Raymond looked at his children and said. "As for you two, don't cause any trouble on your trip back to the empire."

"Yes, dad."

"Good, now go! I don't want to see you again so soon!" He said this with an expression that did not show that he spoke the truth.

And with that, those two women smiled as their beasts finally departed that city.

'Honey, I'm so sorry...' Jade looked back as her beast moved, still smiling. 'But I'll only do this a few more times before I finally put it all away in my memories and go back to being a good wife.'

'I promise I won't think about that young man again after a few more days with him!'

'That's just temporary!'
