When the Barracuda returned to Cloudy Curtain, Ves immediately entered the Cloud Estate to check up on his girlfriend.
At the moment, she was sitting on a luxurious couch.
Gloriana greeted him with a tired smile while petting Clixie. "Ves. You're back."
"Miaow!"
"Hey Clixie." Ves briefly bent down to scratch the Rubarthan Sentinel Cat's head before placing his hand on Gloriana's head. "Let me check up on you for a moment."
Though his abrupt motion caused her guards to twitch, Ves did not pay any mind to anything else. Right now, only Gloriana mattered!
He inspected her with his spiritual senses. As he feared, her spiritual energy reserves had dropped by a significant quantity.
Fortunately, the worst hadn't occurred. She hadn't expended all of her spiritual energy. Unaccustomed to performing spiritual manipulation, she couldn't endure the strain of maintaining her earlier state for long.
