Over the years, although she had stopped thinking about revolutionizing anything, she was still happy to provide guidance when she encountered talented and gifted peers.
However, once they started talking, she discovered that this young peer was truly a kindred spirit, despite appearing much younger. Their way of thinking was incredibly clear, much like her own; they had long since seen through the hopeless nature of the Angel Kingdom.
Unfortunately, this young peer didn't share her concerns for the kingdom and its people. Even though they saw through everything, they remained indifferent, like an outsider unaffected by anything in the Angel Kingdom.
This piqued Maria's curiosity, especially since the young peer was incredibly bold. Their Magic Network ID seemed almost like their True Name, making it irresistible not to look into.
The subsequent investigation went unexpectedly smooth. Although there were quite a few Angel Witches named Sophia, after filtering by age, the number dwindled. Moreover, if one searched this name on the Magic Network, the first piece of news that popped up was incredibly outrageous.
"The Second Divine King Agnes fell into a Knowledge Curse and was sealed by the Judgment Court, and her daughter Sophia was entrusted to the Dragon Kingdom for upbringing..."
The first thing Maria thought when she saw this news was that this old schoolmate's daughter was probably the young peer she had encountered on the Magic Network.
She couldn't believe that her not-so-bright schoolmate could produce such a clear-headed daughter, reflecting how crucial the environment of a child's upbringing could be.
Comparing the foolishness of Agnes, who grew up in the Ancestral Court, to the clarity of her daughter, who was raised in the Dragon Kingdom, the difference was stark.
But these were not the main point. The essential thing was that Sophia, as Agnes' daughter, undoubtedly belonged to the direct lineage of the Divine King. Although Maria did not understand why the Holy Pope had decided to send this little princess to be raised in the Dragon Kingdom, Maria truly felt hopeful for the salvation of the kingdom.
Legitimate lineage, exceptional talent, and a clear mind—Sophia was the wise ruler Maria had been yearning for all these years; in that moment, her once thought extinct ideal fervently reignited.
Subsequently, there arose her involvement with the Revelation Fleet under the guise of playing a game.
Through their chats on the Magic Network, Maria could sense that Princess Sophia was an ambitious person, not content with mediocrity. Maria decided to lend her support to the cause.
And now, after many years, the day to meet this ambitious online friend had finally arrived. Maria had just posted in her social circle on the Magic Network that she was fishing here.
Although the other party had not responded, Maria, who had many years of fishing experience, was not short of patience.
She believed that this ambitious friend would eventually come to meet her.
However, while she was calmly waiting, the two guard sisters beside her began to quarrel again, making Maria, who had already been waiting all morning and was somewhat tense and anxious, fearing that Sophia really wouldn't come, clench her fists hard.
"Ah, Michelle, quick, your fishing rod is moving, you've got something!"
"I don't believe you, I've been air force all morning, how could... Damn, it's really a bite, let me see what silly fish it is."
The blue-haired angel, who had been skeptical herself, glanced at her fishing rod and was immediately shocked, and hurriedly began reeling in.
Even Maria, who had been contemplating punching someone, became curious and stopped to see what the rambunctious sister had caught after an entire morning of tension.
When the fishing hook was finally pulled out of the water after much struggle by the blue-haired Six-Winged Angel, all three fell into silence.
What on earth had they caught?
