In the building, all the members of The Celestial Alliance who were in Aethelgard had gathered, waiting in the hall.
Seeing Jonah Rivers and Lune walk in with her, everyone instantly became excited and bowed in unison: "Welcome back, Alliance Hierarch!"
Their voices were incredibly loud, echoing through heaven and earth.
Raina North saw everyone looking at her eagerly, and her heart warmed slightly.
After finally calming the excited crowd, Raina North went to her former office.
The arrangement and furnishings in her office were exactly the same as before, as if she had left not for four years, but for four days, four hours.
It’s false to say there was not a bit of emotion stirred in her heart.
However, she did not stay emotional for long.
Soon, her attention was drawn to Lune, who followed her closely inside.
Looking at the boy standing guard beside her, Raina North felt quite helpless: "Lune, if you have things to do, go attend to them. You don’t need to watch over me ."
Lune looked at Raina North seriously and said: "Guarding Orion is my most important task right now."
Raina North was unwilling to be watched so closely, like a rabbit waiting for a trap. But no matter how she tried to persuade him, Lune refused to leave.
Not only did he refuse to leave, but he became even more vigilant, looking as if he wanted to place a surveillance camera and a tracking device on her.
Wasn’t this a classic case of hoisting a stone only to drop it on her own foot?
Jonah Rivers was equally speechless: "I say, even if you guard , it’s useless. If your Orion truly wants to leave, you can’t stop her. But rest assured, before the next Sea Calm Stage arrives, your Orion cannot leave The Umbral Zone.
As long as she’s in The Umbral Zone, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to find her?"
Lune nodded upon hearing this: "Makes sense."
Anyway, with The Celestial Alliance’s current status, digging three feet into the ground to find someone wouldn’t be difficult.
Damn it, it felt like she’d been set up by Jonah Rivers again.
Now, even if she wanted to find an excuse to leave early, there was no way.
She took a deep breath and was about to say something when the office door was knocked. Follow current novᴇls on novel⟡fire.net
Raina North swallowed back her words and spoke calmly: "Enter."
Hearing Raina North’s voice, the office door was pushed open, and twenty or thirty people filed in.
Anyone with a slight understanding of The Celestial Alliance would recognize that these were high-ranking members.
Seeing Raina North in the main seat, they greeted in unison: "Greetings, Alliance Hierarch."
Raina North nodded slightly in acknowledgment and said in a calm voice: "Please, everyone, have a seat."
Before everyone was seated, someone couldn’t wait to speak: "Alliance Hierarch, you finally came back. Since you left The Celestial Alliance, not only have other forces repeatedly provoked us, but even the affiliated clans below have rebelled one after another. If you didn’t come back, we really couldn’t hold out much longer."
"Everyone has worked hard, now that I’m back."
"Does the Alliance Hierarch intend to dismiss everyone with such light words?" At this moment, a discordant voice rang out: "Years ago, the Alliance Hierarch left without notice for so many years, which led to The Celestial Alliance being leaderless. Those opposing forces dared to confront us only because the Alliance Hierarch was absent. One could say that The Celestial Alliance’s current predicament is an inescapable responsibility of the Alliance Hierarch."
"So, are you trying to shift your dereliction onto me and make me pay for your mediocrity and incompetence?" With Raina North’s words, her oppressive aura spread.
Lune immediately stood up too, guarding behind Raina North like a sword ready to be unsheathed at any moment.
