Dimensional Descent

Fluttering Star Order frowned. She hadn't expected to come back here so soon, it had only been barely a dozen or so minutes since she left, if that. Had this matter occurred just a few minutes later, she wouldn't have been able to return at all as she had many things to handle with her status.

At the same time, she was baffled by it all. How, exactly, had things gone awry so soon?

Fluttering Star Order didn't immediately ask her granddaughter any questions and instead looked around. When she saw Alfin's half dead body, her gaze narrowed.

"Riah, did you do this? Didn't I already warn you—?"

"No, grandmother. It wasn't me, that's the problem. It was one of the branch family youths."

Fluttering Star Order's brows furrowed. Her immediate thought was that that was impossible. Even with what she had planned, it would take the entire month to squeeze out the potential of these youths. And, even then, they would have to fight a long and drawn out battle just to match a person like Alfin. The idea that one could defeat Alfin in just a dozen or so minutes made little to no sense.

However, she didn't believe that her granddaughter would lie like this either. Riah knew how important these matters were to her and she wouldn't' mess around unnecessarily.

Seeing her grandmother's confusion, Riah quickly described the events as succinctly as she could. It was only after this that Fluttering Star Order came to grasp the details. Unfortunately, this did nothing to alleviate her state. If what her granddaughter said was true, this would be troublesome.

She agreed with Riah's decision to let the youths go. It would only make things worse to try to detain them or to even go as far as to silence them. But, the weight of everything else would be troublesome.

Star Order shook her head, causing the hearts of the youths to sink. She turned her attention back toward the courtyard, prepared to use her aura to coerce the youths out and make it clear that she had no intention of protecting Leonel, but who could have expected for Leonel to
