Chapter 210 Ran away
And confirming his fears, the maid timidly replied. "Princess Sylvia is already gone, my Lord."
"She requested us to bring her several things. It looked like her highness was leaving for a trip."
"We're so sorry, we don't know the exact location because her highness didn't inform us about anything… I..."
"AH DAMN IT!" Roman growled in anger. "Why did she have to act so rashly?" He felt a great disappointment in his chest and howled it out in frustration.
All three of the maids stopped and quickly placed their hands over their ears. They didn't want their ears to bleed.
The man's entire body changed in the next second right in front of the maids and they watched him dumbfoundedly as he transformed from his human form into a large white wolf.
The fur covered in blue runes shone splendidly and the majestic elegant creature then rushed out without another word.
Isaac as well shook his head helplessly. "All I wanted was a peaceful morning…" He sighed and transformed as well, running behind the Lycan Lord.
He could already tell that their day was going to be a long one…
…
…
…
Meanwhile, the reason for all of this commotion...
Once Sylvia left the draconian royal palace with her pack of supplies, she flew as fast as she could and never looked back. She only stopped when she was far enough and made a quick stop in one of the trees.
Her slender figure rested on one of the tall trees and she gazed calmly at the vast expansive visage in front of her, full of lush greenery.
A cold breeze swept her face and the anger and frustration bubbling inside her calmed down a bit. It made her realize a few things.
"I need to erase my trace..." She muttered under her breath.
Sylvia gathered the mana swirling in the air around her and spun everything together. A bright light dispersed from her hands and covered her entire body to remove all traces of her presence as she moved.
Even the faintest traces of her scent were gone from the surroundings.
She flew around here and there and checked the effect of the spell again. Only then was she sure that not even those of the Lycan clan with good noses would be able to find her.
She nodded contently and opened her bag, drinking some water from a waterskin. When she looked up at the darkening sky, she realized that she had already flown for quite a few hours.
It was close to nighttime. Most of the travelers would search for inns, make campfires and settle down for the night… but it was different for her.
Unlike others, she didn't feel any need to lie down or get some rest. Instead, as the moonlight shone down on her skin, energy coursed through her veins and she felt invigorated.
Sylvia quickly stood atop the tree branch and stretched for a moment.
She took out the map she received from Melissa to check on her direction and was reassured that she was going the right way.
After a couple of seconds, she gathered magic once again and flew above the trees and towards her destination.
With this, she had actually stepped out of both the lycan and the draconian territories and finally entered a new area in this world.
"Hah, I'm free now, aren't I?" She muttered absentmindedly.
Apart from her small town back in the human settlement and now the royal palace and the lycan castle, she had barely gone anywhere else.
This was the first time she was outside on her own, not having to cover in fear or hide, worried about bandits or plunderers or wild beasts.
As she flew by looking around in amazement, she came across a huge majestic waterfall. The water sparkled like gems under the moonlight and it gushed thunderously.
Just to look at it was enticing and she couldn't resist taking a dip. She also felt very parched even though she had just drunk a lot of water.
"The water looks so pure, it's really pristine and I can feel that it's dense with mana too," Sylvia thought quietly to herself with a smile.
Perhaps she could rest here for a bit? She knew that she had to stop.
After flying all this while, she enjoyed the cool mist on her skin. It felt like she was being cleansed just by being around the area.
With her magic, she sent her supplies to be stored in a dry place and then gently stepped forward on the pale white rocks leading to the waterfalls.
She sped up her pace and then directly dived into the clear waters. It was incredibly serene and tranquil under the water and when she resurfaced back, a small smile danced on her lips.
She was drenched all over and the water was freezing cold but there were no goosebumps across her skin and instead, her cheeks only had a warm and rosy glow.
Sylvia loved the water and splashed around, playing by herself, forgetting everything that burdened her at least at the moment.
"It would be so nice to come here with…" Sylvia halted her words and then sighed... she didn't have a single person to share anything with.
After she was done taking a bath, she dried herself up and created a small fire using a couple of wooden sticks, to heat up some food.
There were a few edible berries nearby which looked juicy and delicious, so Sylvia stood up to pluck some of those as well.
But as she neared the bushes, a low whimpering sound came from within. This was definitely the sound of a beast.
However, unlike before, this beast wasn't prowling in the shadows to attack her. Rather it sounded like it was in a lot of pain.
