Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 487: Charlotte Feels Uneasy

Meanwhile, Charlotte adjusted her breathing in a quiet room within the palace. She had just fought a great battle against a grandmaster, causing her energies to stir violently. After all, she had just recently recovered from her serious injuries.

Of course, that wasn’t the most important point. What affected her most was that the shock of Sharky killing several grandmasters in a row was just too great.

After all, none of those grandmasters were weaker than her, and yet they had all died so easily at Sharky’s hands.

Naturally, because they had fought together through so many life-and-death situations, she knew his true strength wasn’t that ridiculous. But even so... it was a bit absurd.

At the moment, her emotions were in just as much of a mess as her logic. After all, in her cultivation realm, every individual was a stunning genius, and they all had their own pride.

Before she met Sharky, that pride had been very steady, and her mentality had also spurred on her strength.

However, after everything that had happened, that pride was completely shattered. She knew that if she couldn’t calm herself down, her unsteady dao heart could prevent her from making any further cultivation progress.

As such, she had found a quiet meditation room far from Sharky to think over her gains and losses in the Unknown Region. In particular, she wanted to digest the powerful shock Sharky had brought her tonight.

Charlotte had also seen that Diana had sought out a quiet place to recover with a serious expression. She was probably in a similar situation.

---

After a long time passed, she finally managed to stabilize her almost-shattered dao heart. Suddenly, however, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Charlotte asked, opening her eyes.

With her grandmaster cultivation, she had already seen a dainty and slender young lady standing there. The other woman paced back and forth for a while and raised her hand to knock on the door several times, but she hesitated and gave up each time.

It was the Elf race’s Princess Natasha.

She naturally knew about Natasha and Sharky’s relationship from their recent interactions. That silly disciple of mine... By having such a pretty maid, aren’t you basically leading the wolf into the house?

She really couldn’t understand how Isabelle could feel at ease with having this woman, whose appearance wasn’t inferior to her in the slightest, as a maid. Was she blind?

There’s no way her clan could have been blind either. The people in Brightmoon City can’t all be blind either, right?

Is this the kind of beauty a maid should have?

She didn’t know that when Natasha was in Brightmoon City, she had been under the Elf race’s seal. It had sealed both her stunning features and weakened her aura.

Even though she knew it was Natasha outside, Charlotte didn’t expose her. She just felt that their relationship was a bit awkward, and thus hoped she would leave on her own.

However, Natasha continued to knock on the door. After some hesitation, Charlotte still asked the rhetorical question, "Who is it?"

"Sect Master Charlotte, it’s me, the Elf race’s Natasha," a clear voice replied.

Natasha’s voice really was as pretty as an oriole’s. No wonder that guy likes her...

Seeing as Natasha had paid her a visit like this, Charlotte couldn’t refuse her. She sorted out her thoughts and said, "Please come in!"

Using her divine sense, she could see that there was a gift in Natasha’s hands. Charlotte’s expression became a bit cold. Hmph, this girl stole my precious disciple’s man! I won’t eat her gift even if I have to die from starvation!

Soon afterward, a beautiful figure pushed open the door and came in. Natasha clearly had a few reservations. She opened the case in her hands, revealing all sorts of exquisite refreshments and fruits.

"I heard big sister Isabelle mention what the sect master’s favorites were, so I came to bring some of these fruits. I hope the sect master won’t turn your back on them."

Charlotte sneered. You used to call her young miss Isabelle, but now, you’re calling her big sister Isabelle? But I guess you’re still quite tactful, willing to be the younger one.

Even so, in order to help my precious disciple vent, I can’t accept these gifts.

She was about to refuse when Natasha handed over another silver case, saying, "I begged my father for one of the Elf race’s Flower Jade Pills. I hope it can aid in the sect master’s speedy recovery." She knew Charlotte had been injured based on their earlier interactions.

A look of surprise flickered through Charlotte’s eyes. The Elf Princess had clearly thought through her gifts.

Most importantly, this Flower Jade Pill was no ordinary medicine, but rather the Elf Race’s highest-grade recovery medicine. Every single pill had miraculous restorative effects. This gift was quite precious.

She wanted to refuse, but she had already used up all of her own medicines in the Unknown Region. She really did need such medicine to aid in her recovery, and also to stabilize her dao heart.

"Many thanks!" Charlotte replied, feeling a bit ashamed. Didn’t I already make the decision not to accept her gifts? But how can I refuse when she’s giving me so much?

Natasha sighed in relief when she saw that Charlotte had accepted it. Then, she asked about how Isabelle was doing.

As far as she knew, that was their sole connection. She couldn’t just ask about Sharky right off the bat, right?

It just happened that because she had spent so much time in the human world, Natasha was quite good at reading people’s body language.

Even though Charlotte intended to refuse her in the beginning, after talking for a bit, she had to admit that the Elf Princess was quite good at friendly conversation. The two quickly began to chat happily with each other.

When Natasha left, however, Charlotte sneered. This Elf Princess is pretty sharp! She’s actually trying to use me to help her deal with Alina and the other women.

Still, she could understand that as well. Sharky had just too many women around him. As Natasha had expressed her good intentions, and she did share sisterly bonds with Isabelle, allying against the others was a good idea.

Charlotte suddenly thought of something. What do these things have to do with me? They can just fight it out in the harem themselves!

She suddenly became a bit uneasy. She could no longer calm down her dao heart. After some hesitation, she decided to have a chat with Sharky.

Whomever started the trouble should end it. For all she knew, she could potentially find some solution with him.

As she left through the door, Charlotte hesitated for a moment. She thought, What if Sharky is together with Alina? If she barged in in the dead of night, there was a high chance that there would be a misunderstanding.

She took a few steps back, but her mind was a mess. She couldn’t calm herself down to meditate at all. In the end, she clenched her teeth and decided to continue forward.

Even if it’s embarrassing to look for Sharky, it should be fine for me to seek out Alina for some chit-chat, right? she thought, surprising herself with her own wit. She thus sought out a palace maid to ask about Alina’s whereabouts.

The palace maid recognized Charlotte as one of the grandmasters who had fought in the skies for the Second Empress’ side. Charlotte looked so quiet and transcendent that it was hard to refuse her.

As such, she respectfully replied, "The Medusa Queen needed to take care of some Snake race affairs and has already left the palace."

"Left the palace?" Charlotte repeated, stunned. However, she quickly realized what was happening. The Second Empress had definitely promised the Snake race some generous conditions, so Alina had needed to hurry back to discuss things with her clansmen and bring some people over to the Fiend King Court to see things through. After all, the Snake race’s rise was already inevitable, and they definitely didn’t have enough representatives in the Fiend King Court.

"Then what about Sharky?" she asked, feigning nonchalance. However, she laughed inwardly in self-mockery. Why did she have to go this far with a maid?

"The Majesty is overseeing her highness in his own chamber to prevent any evildoers from starting any trouble in the palace," the maid replied.

She and her fellow maids grew excited as soon as they heard the name ’Sharky’. Word of Sharky’s powerful achievements had quickly spread throughout the entire Imperial Palace.

This world worshiped the strong, let alone someone who was so handsome on top of that. And the new ruler of the Fiend Kingdom.

When she saw the maids’ starstruck eyes, Charlotte thought, Sharky really is always surrounded by these love affairs. My... disciple will probably end up encountering a lot of future troubles.

Treating her... That woman really is going all out!

Her pretty brows couldn’t help but furrow when she thought about how Sharky was treating the Second Empress.

Don’t tell me fiend women don’t understand the concept of laying low?

Of course, even though she was a bit unhappy, she didn’t think too much of it. There were just too many things that had happened during the night, and it was almost daybreak.

At dawn, he would ascend to the throne, and everyone present would become awfully busy. They would all have too many responsibilities, so how could anything happen?

She expressed her thanks to the maid, and with a tap of her toes, she swiftly floated into the distance.

The maids’ little mouths hung wide open. They all had looks of envy. One exclaimed, "If I were as formidable as Lady Charlotte... No, even just a tenth of how amazing she is would be enough!"

"Hmph, even a wench like you has such high demands? I’d be fully satisfied if I could have even a tenth of her beauty," another remarked.

The other maids all stared at her, replying, "Isn’t your requirement even higher?"

---

Charlotte naturally wasn’t paying attention to the conversation of the maids behind her. She quickly arrived outside the Sharky’s chambers.

If it was anyone else, they would not be able to appear here easily. But, since she was seen together with Sharky many times, and also she was sect leader and Grandmaster. No one stopped her.

She had always enjoyed peace and quiet. She didn’t want her unannounced visit to Sharky’s place to be known by more people, so she didn’t alarm the guards outside. Her figure was like a wisp of smoke as she quickly entered the palace.

Her divine will slowly spread out. Soon afterward, she cast her gaze onto a side chamber. Her usually cold gaze gave way to a hint of a gentle smile.

That was Sharky’s aura. Her gait quickened as she walked over, but she suddenly slowed down again. There was another person’s aura there.

It was the Second Empress!

The gentle look between her brows instantly disappeared. What were a grown man and woman all alone in a room together for?

Still, she quickly calmed herself down. Sharky had already become the one the Second Empress relied on the most. It was understandable for her to discuss national affairs with him.

She felt more at ease now when she thought of that. As such, she stopped in place and admired the moon for a bit. She decided not to disturb their official business for the time being.

She planned to seek out Sharky after the two finished their chat. She didn’t want to meet with the Second Empress, in order to avoid trouble. She had always enjoyed peace and quiet, and didn’t like such social affairs.

Just like that, she continued to stand there for an indeterminate amount of time. At some point, a cold wind blew past, bringing with it a leaf that landed on Charlotte’s head.

Charlotte removed the leaf from her head, feeling a bit surprised. The Fiend races’ territory was located in the northern frontier, and it was winter right now, and yet there were still green leaves.

She had to admit that the Fiend races’ royal family really was impressive. They were able to raise many trees that could only be found in the sunny south.

But why are they still not done after chatting for so long?
