Chapter 485 Supreme Beings at Lunaris

Lunaris City, Western Moon kingdom;

Afternoon around 3:30;

At the Royal Palace, the day was going the same way as every other day for Shen Ling.

Unlike in several empires, the Western Moon kingdom gives more freedom and authority to the ladies of the royal and noble families. They could regularly participate in the court affairs, although from curtains behind without showing their faces.

Shen Ling, who had the ambition to succeed her father, was participating in one such discussion.

It was about the construction of a bridge over Cuilian Jiang (Emerald Ripple River) to connect several river islands with each other and to the capital city. However, it is a task that requires heavy funds.

A heavy debate ensued in the courtroom because of it. 

Some ministers suggested taxing wealthy individuals; some suggested confiscating their money from the bank; some wanted to raise the taxes of the public; Shen Ling wanted to put something like toll booths at the bridges to tax the citizens a certain amount of money every time they cross it to come to the capital city; As for the king, he was looking at an option of taking a hefty loan from the Eastern Sun kingdom now that they were in an alliance, but was hesitant to voice it out as it will make him appear weak.

With Mark having been missing for several weeks, he was rather worried lately. Of course, there's Zheng that is protecting the borders and there's 8-circle beast king Manticore protecting the palace, but they weren't loyal to him and they could flip on them at any moment as there was no official relationship established between Mark and Shen Ling yet.

Adding on top of that, not only there is the stability of rule in the Phoenix Empire under Shang Jun's leadership, but the Leon Empire was also getting closer to the southern Empire through the marriage between Shang Jun and the favorite granddaughter of Leon Empire's ruler. It was nothing but bad news to him.

As if that wasn't enough, lately, seeds of rebellion appeared to have been planted in the kingdom. There have been organized attacks on officials, but nothing serious so far to the extent that it is concerning for the Emperor.

There were many things going on in Shen Niu's head and he was rather stressed lately. 

Princess Shen Ling knew what her father going through and she was trying her best to help him, but the ministers were still in favor of Prince Shen Kai, the eight-year-old who is next in line for the throne, now that Shen Niu's twin brother and the nephew were out of race.

With no conclusion coming out of today's discussion, the princess took her leave from the court and started returning to her room.

Shen Ling didn't show her frustrations and acted normally as she always did.

With a smile on her face, she greeted the servants with a smile on her face as she walked in the corridors of the inner quarters.

As usual, she didn't forget to check up on Song Yue, who was spending all of her days in her room.

As she opened the door, her eyes fell on the pale-looking woman with her bones were quite visible at several spots. There was a golden kitten sleeping on her lap. The kitten opened its eyes to see Shen Ling and closed its eyes once again, resuming its sleep.

Song Yue looked at her with tears filled up her eyes, "Please."

Shen Ling looked at her father, glanced at her surroundings, and then at the incoming figures. Letting out a sigh, she freed Song Yue's arm while muttering under her breath, "I shouldn't have agreed to a formal welcome."

As soon as she was freed, Song Yue used all the strength she had in her legs, momentarily forgetting about etiquette and just pushed away the King's shoulder and rushed forward.

Her actions took everyone by surprise, including Mark and the others.

She started climbing down the stairs with nearly 30 steps to the ground as fast as she could. 

However, just after 8 steps, she lost her footing and started falling.

"Sister Yue…" "Lady Song"

King Shen and Shen Ling went alarmed. The nearest guards moved to save her, but before they reached or before she crashed onto one of the steps, a blurry figure reached there and caught her in his arms.

Mark had the look of shock on his face as he saw her appearance. He caressed her face in worry as the latter forced out a smile and weakly spoke, "Markie, you returned…"

Once she spoke those words, Song Yue lost her consciousness right away. "Song Yue…" Mark raised his words as he shook her face.

And before others made any move, another figure appeared beside him. It's Sylvandria. 

Sylvandria took a single look at her and commented, "Her life force looks very weak. Give me a moment."

Mark didn't even react to her comment and she already conjured a ball of light before inserting it into Song Yue's abdomen.

In just an instant, Song Yue's body was covered by divine energy and color returned to her pale face. Her skeletal body had healthy skin. A miracle happened before everyone's face before they realized what happened. Mark felt like Song Yue looked as beautiful as she was at her engagement, although her consciousness has yet to return.

*Clap* Clap*

Shen Ling took action in a calm manner, ordering the servants to bring the litter, a portable bed/couch that is used to transport an unconscious or immobile individual.

The attendants or the eunuch with ether energy usually carry those things in their storage rings all the time.

Once Song Yue was carried away and disappeared from his sight, Mark greeted the King formally before introducing his three companions without forgetting to inform them that they were supreme beings and ask him to look after them very well.

The piece of new information momentarily stunned the King and the other spectators, making them forget about the earlier embarrassing incident for the royal family caused by Song Yue's behavior.
