Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Transportation

Afternoon.

Following Aengus's orders, the generals returned to their empire to deliver the news and prepare the soldiers for the relocation to their new center of command. However, a few million troops were assigned to remain behind to guard the borders, as was their usual duty.

Aengus, along with his clone, traveled to the empire to oversee the preparations and ensure the soldiers were transported safely to their new location. Before carrying out the mass transportation, he attended to an important task for Bella.

Aria also accompanied him, having nothing else to occupy her time.

"Mother, I have a surprise for you!" Bella exclaimed, seated beside her mother on the bed.

Celeste raised her brows curiously. "What kind of surprise, daughter?"

"Just watch!" Bella smirked, her heart bubbling with anticipation.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed outside the door, drawing Celeste's attention.
