Novel Full Chapter 1186: Air of Bad News
Meanwhile, about the time when Rex departed with the assault team.
Near the backyard where the graves of both Rex’s parents were located, there was a hidden yard, that was about the size of a tennis field. Compared to the massive land of the castle, it could be considered quite a small yard.
If someone was close to the place, they could feel the intense heat and moans of a woman.
Someone seemed to be training, a very intense training that is.
Unlike the previous days when she was cramped inside her room, Evelyn decided that it was enough of her staying inside, and sulking. Maybe being heartbroken made her act abnormal, not her usual self, but she already snapped out of it.
Considering the way she was raised, she had never acted like this before.
Due to that, she tried to change by doing her daily activities before she was turned inhuman.
“Hahh!”
“Hyaah!”
“Raah!”
Evelyn practiced her mobility and striking movements, punching and kicking the air and also spatting her deep crimson fire. Each strike that she made was filled with power—the air was vibrating from every movement she made.
Before the pack was kicked from the Human territory, she was the second strongest.
In addition to that, her control over mana was also only second to Rex.
Now, Kyran and Flunra were above her in terms of energy control, but the two had a lot more time to train. Efficiency-wise, she was the most talented as she was even naturally born with two elemental affinities—fire and sound even before Rex took a liking to her.
Just that fact alone shows that she has more talents than anyone around.
She only forgot herself, pampered by the situation.
However, now that she has regained herself back, the rest is going to be natural.
Swoosh!
Unlike Adhara’s fighting style, which was rough and powerful, Evelyn’s was more like dancing and stinging. She bore the essence of elegance, even in her fighting style—and with a sweep of her feet, she made a straight punch.
A thick serpenting fire flew out of her knuckles, hitting the wall in a controlled manner.
Sweats dripped down her skin, wetting the minimalist attire—fitting bandages wrapping her breasts and torso that offered both support and freedom of movement. As the heat was on focus, she exhaled heavily and raised her long red hair, tying it into a ponytail.
Her muscular frame was there to see, displaying the strength and agility from her training.
After tying her hair, she looked down at her hand.
Focusing on the foreign energy inside her body—she tried to manifest it into her hand and it was a successful try as her hand hummed with a light bronze energy. An energy that bore a sinister trait, some sort of dark power.
“I’m not ready to use that yet. Let’s train with my Luna form activated next,” She mused.
Closing her eyes, she began communicating with her Luna energy.
Psshh…
Slowly but gradually—a purple energy began to encompass her body like a blanket.
Her closed eyes twitched slightly—before the Luna energy began to gleam brighter.
For a moment there she was basked in purple light.
As the purple light receded—Evelyn had metamorphosed into her Luna form—the very form that she was graced with upon entering the Silverstar Pack. Opening her eyes again, Evelyn inspected her form before she bit her lower lip, hard.
It pained her to see this, but her Luna energy was not enough to turn her completely.
Unlike before, she was not adorned in a pristine white dress anymore.
She stayed in her regular attire, even after the transformation—the only things that changed were her eyes that turned crystal violet, the purple crescent moon on her forehead that was radiating with Luna energy, and the small horns poking out of her head.
Evelyn’s Luna Form has regressed to mere physical changes.
“Calidora…” She uttered, clenching both of her fists tightly out of sheer, unbridled anger.
Had she not been the Luna, the anger might’ve made her berserk right now.
Although she could feel that her Luna energy was less complete than before, considering the small amount taken by Calidora—she already expected that there would be some changes in her Luna Form.
Not ready to see it, Evelyn has refrained from turning into her Luna Form.
Last time she turned was during the war against the Fifthborn.
Even at that moment, due to the heightened situation, she couldn’t inspect her Luna Form.
Now, however, she could see that her Luna Form has changed so much.
It was all because of Calidora.
‘I did make it even with Calidora as I also got something out of her but compared to what she has now, mine, is inconsequential…’ Evelyn mused—still not letting go of the matter, between her and Calidora.
Eventually, she decided to put that in the back of her mind, lest she became too angry.
But when she was about to resume her training, she sensed someone behind her.
Speak of the devil.
“I don’t think you should be anywhere near me,” Evelyn mused lightly.
Not even needing to turn around, she could already tell that the person standing by the door to this yard, was none other than Calidora—the scent of blood was thick in the air, whenever she was around.
She glanced over her shoulder and found Calidora standing with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Calidora giggled, finding Evelyn’s animosity towards her amusing.
“Why can’t I be near you? Are you going to attack me?” She asked, her tone was mocking.
Descending, a couple of stairs down, still under the shroud of the shadows—she leaned her body forward with an evident smirk, “Rex, Gistella, and Flunra already left. Kyran is going on a mission, and Ryze is in his room. Nobody is around, so why not attack me right now?”
“I may be protected by Rex for my pregnancy, but that doesn’t mean I would lose to the likes of you,” She added—her vampiric eyes gleaming with lethal intent. “Take a swing if you want to find out if I’m lying or not”
Listening to this, Evelyn clicked her tongue and averted her gaze away.
“What are you doing here? I’m not in the mood to entertain you,” She finally said.
Hearing the shift of tone, in Evelyn’s voice, Calidora retracted back her aura, and put on one genuine smile, “If you started like this, there’s no need for a clash like that. Anyway, I’m here to give you this, something that you might like”
As she said that, Calidora put a regal crimson mantle on the concrete handrail.
“It is a gift from Rex, but I offered to give it to you instead” She added truthfully.
Looking at the crimson mantle decorated with delicate and vibrant furs—Evelyn was curious as to what it was as it didn’t seem like a normal mantle. Even then—her pride made her keep her ground and averted her gaze away.
She gave no response and continued her training, now exercising her Luna energy instead.
At the sight of Evelyn’s Luna energy, a hidden smile crept to Calidora’s face.
‘Unlike before, her Luna energy is way less dense. I want to remain here and watch her train with that pitiful amount of Luna energy, but I probably can’t do that’ She thought inwardly, it was a delight to see Evelyn’s condition. ‘Should I give another comment before I leave? Just because,’

Calidora’s lips were itchy to give more insults, this was the perfect time to mock Evelyn.
However, her hidden smile disappeared when she remembered what Rex said.
It would be bad if she went against Rex’s words at this point.
‘For now—I’ll keep things as they are. Establishing myself here is the best choice of action for the meantime’ Calidora nodded, deciding to swallow back her insults. She exercised her self-control to keep herself from saying anything offensive. ‘But how do I fix this…?’
Gaining no answer on the spot, Calidora turned around—deciding to leave the yard.
Staying further would only annoy Evelyn even more.
Not to mention—Calidora could tell that she wanted to see the mantle but her pride refrained her from doing that until Calidora left. But as she was about to leave—she stopped when she heard someone was knocking on the door.
Raising an eyebrow, she turned to Evelyn, “Are you expecting someone?”
“No, I’m not” Evelyn replied, shaking her head.
Calidora looked back to the door—and she could hear, the pounding heartbeat of the person on the other side—it was clear in her ears, ‘He is panicking, is there trouble? I also could feel, the fear coming out of him’
Frowning, she opened the door lightly and found that it was an Elf.
Judging from the armor he was wearing, he must be one of the city guards.
Upon seeing Calidora, the city guard was startled but when he saw a glimpse of the Empress on the back wearing her training attire, he instantly bowed and looked down to the ground, “I apologize for disturbing your time, Your Majesty, but there’s news that requires you”
“What news could make you act like this?” Calidora asks, her tone demanding.
As opposed to answering—the city guard turned to Evelyn who was already covering herself with the crimson mantle. It was a subtle gesture, but that made the corner of Evelyn’s mouth curl upward slightly, “Couldn’t Captain Gelmar deal with this pressing matter?”
“It’s Captain Gelmar who sent me here,” the city guard replied.
Evelyn was surprised by this, it was rather rare for Gelmar to ask for their attention.
From the look of things, it must be a really bad problem.
Since there was nobody else inside the castle, with the others outside of the city—Evelyn, as the Empress would be the one to handle this. She nodded and signaled the city guard to lead the way.
But Calidora was not going to sit still, she was also coming just in case.
“Aren’t you supposed to be careful?” Evelyn stopped Calidora, glancing at her belly. “It would grave me far less, if something were to happen to the child in your belly. We don’t know what the problem would be, are you sure about coming?”
Upon hearing this, Calidora pushed her arm away, “I can take care of myself,”
“Vampires could only get pregnant once, so we are not as vulnerable as a pregnant human”
Seeing that she was confident, Evelyn shrugged her shoulders as it was not her problem.
If something were to happen to the child, she couldn’t promise that she would not be happy.
A moment later, the city guard brought them to the city hall.
Knowing that the Empress was coming—and the fact that the city hall was not that far from the advanced teleportation formation place, dozens of guards were already stationed there. All of them were clad in gleaming red prudian armor with a weapon ready in hand.
Getting down from her royal wagon, Evelyn stepped out.
Despite her training attire underneath, she was covered by the regal mantle that befits her.
Covered in such a mantle, the air or nobility around her was not reduced at all.
Following right behind, was Calidora in a black dress—and the two were guided by the city guard from earlier inside. All of the city guards present put their weapons at their chests in salute at their presence, before bowing slightly when they walked past them.
Both then arrived inside a room, neatly decorated that made it look like a spacious office.
High mirrors, dominated with a neutral palette, and a few chairs, tables, and sofas.
Sitting at the center sofa was Linthia and a foreign person who seemed to be a Human—one that is a high-rank Awakened it seems. At the sight of Evelyn and Calidora, the two stood up and gave them a formal bow.
Evelyn waved her hand, accepting their respect before sitting on the opposite sofa.
Beside her was Calidora, doing the same thing.
“I was told that there’s news needing my attention, I assume you brought the news?”
Not wanting to waste words, Evelyn put the attention back to the Awakened.
Upon hearing this—the Awakened nodded, his hands were a little bit sweaty not from the air of the place but because of something else, “Yes, that is right, Your Majesty. My name is Ken—and I was sent here by President Sebrof himself to deliver the news”
“So speak, Ken. What news do you bring?” Calidora added with an impatient tone.
Taking a seat back down, Ken tidied his choking tie before he said blatantly, “Angels…”
“We received news that Angels are heading to our continent right now,” He added.
