A Country Within A Country, The Poison Of The Sea Heir

Since gaining the ocean's power, Ji Chen's ability to sense things in specific directions had greatly improved. Right now, he sensed a dark, corrupted, and evil presence in the air, spreading and filling the surroundings.

While conversing with Julius and Monica about the Grand Duchess, this feeling grew even stronger.

This was the Lienhardt Court, not some den of monsters. It was the most heavily guarded place in the entire principality, the center of power. How could there be such an ominous, corrupt, and even evil aura here?

Seeing that Julius and Monica seemed oblivious to it, Ji Chen thought for a moment and spoke up.

"Your Grace, I wonder about the condition of the Lady. How is she feeling now?"

Julius shook his head and replied. "Milorna has been ill for several days now. It's quite strange, to be honest. Although it's just a common cold, she looks completely drained, can't even get out of bed, and she's been talking nonsense."
