Xyla Quest still wanted to have a thorough look before leaving to make their trip worthwhile.
After enjoying the view, she quickly turned her attention to the empress and the emperor to have a good look at their faces.
After all, not just anyone got to see them in person.
None of the regular folks in the human realm could ever see them, so it felt somewhat like she'd won the jackpot.
Compared to his wife, Stanley Batton appeared much more tranquil.
He casually peered around before addressing their hosts. “Thank you both. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome," the empress told him. "I was indebted to you, and I merely wanted to repay your kindness. We are even now. We don't need to thank each other.”
“I still need to express my sincere gratitude," Xyla interjected. "Stanley, myself, and our children would’ve been in grave trouble if not for you."
She knew that her family would go through a lot worse if it weren’t for the empress. They might’ve gone through hell because of that vengeful nine-tailed demon fox.
“All right, it’s nothing major, so don’t worry about it,” the empress said with a head shake.
“Oh, I’ve got a question," Xyla said suddenly. "Do you know about Sophie Kenwick? I wonder if her soul has truly perished.”
The other woman chuckled at that. “That’s not the case, naturally.”
Peering down, they saw eight small goldfish in the clear water. They were all gold in color, creating a beautiful sight by emitting golden light.
The idea that these were a part of Sophie made them feel a sense of closeness.
Xyla couldn’t help but tear up at that moment, feeling touched while crying out of joy and excitement.
She thought her soul had perished and would never get to see her again because she no longer existed in this world.
However, she was surprised to find that she and Sophie would meet again in such a manner.
