Sometime later, they returned to the palace after finishing their stroll around the city. Unfortunately, they didn't find anything particularly valuable in any of the shops.
Once they entered the palace, they saw Empress Varia chatting with a woman clad in full-body armor, possessing a strong and imposing build—very similar to Valeria and Vrasha.
She had long silver hair flowing down to her waist and a cold, indifferent expression on her face. Her eyes were especially unique—one white and the other black.
Yuan and the others could sense a profound aura radiating from her body, one that was noticeably stronger than even the Emperor's.
"Oh? You've returned from your walk already? How was it? Did you like the city?" Empress Varia asked with a warm smile as soon as she noticed them entering the palace.
"We enjoyed our time. The food was delicious, and the people seemed quite happy with their lives," Yuan replied with a smile.
