16 CHAPTER 16

"I told you I don't want an assistant!" Lia insisted, just before she left for Hexa. She had obtained permission. Now she only needed to go to the runway to board the Centra Unit, the plane used to explore the galaxy.

Uttry could only nod as she glanced at Queen Renoa.

"Lily, but didn't you say that it's very difficult to take care of government affairs? Even you have expended a lot of energy to support Centraxus with the Latherite Stone."

"Yeah, but that doesn't matter." Lia opened the veil on her face, for a moment saw the figure of Megalack in there. Her skin was already perfect, which was sometimes suffused with the white glow emanating from Megalack.

"Will Aerus see the dragon in my body?" she whispered anxiously.

"He won't be able to see it," said Queen Renoa, raising a jet of water from under the rock, then making Lia surrounded by it. In an instant, Lia's body looked better and had transformed into a more realistic appearance. "Because he is not a Gigatrum. Even many Gigatrum will not be able to see it. Megalack is no ordinary dragon."

"I'll take what Mother said to be true." Lia got up and put a crown on her head. In an instant, it merged with her head. "And now I'm leaving for Hexa now."

"Are you going to meet Beldric first? Maybe Megalack can help him to grow more fully."

"Yes, I will."

Lia immediately headed to the Centra Unit, followed by several maids and bodyguards. The engine started, under the swirling, colorful stars.

The plane entered the black hole region, which directly led them to Hexa after careful tuning of the plane.

They finally managed to land at the correct coordinates, bypassing the Scutis Star by circling it to release the cursed material they brought with them from the Black Hole.

After screening, they managed to land on the official Hexa runway. The Centra Unit transformed itself into a smaller vehicle, which had very thin fins and a very sharp muzzle. That would break up the space and molecular charge so they could teleport easily.

They landed in a temple, which had a building made of Peaceton Stone, a living stone that could create peace around it, within a certain radius.

Lia immediately climbed the stairs after being greeted by hermits who wore clothes made of light, light cloth. Their hair was mostly black, which indicated they had never found a soul mate or responded to a soul mate of their own.

"I am Queen Ethelia. I got the entry permit. My first agenda is to visit Prince Beldric, and at the same time give life energy so that he can grow more rapidly."

The hermit asked, "Are you from Centraxus? You have a very powerful ancient dragon aura."

"I do come from Centraxus, who served as queen there."

"Our respects to you, Queen," the hermit said. "Please follow me."

The path was missed. The grass that grew and sank repeatedly reminded Lia of the cycle of a creature's life. Then there were many trees in the temple, which would bear fruit very quickly. Several times a ball appeared like a sun, which would set and rise to be replaced by another, like the rotation of a soccer ball that never stopped.

Lia was taken to a room, where Prince Beldric was. She didn't say anything, and neither did the hermit when Prince Beldric suddenly appeared and ran to hug Lia.

"Mother!" he shouted.
