Chapter 1197: Revelations and Reunions
Amalia smiled and nodded. "That’s right. Would you like to?"
Javier was so excited that he nodded repeatedly. "Yes! Yes! We would love to!"
Amalia first checked their physiques to determine their aptitudes, then selected two cultivation methods suitable for them.
Since she had started this, she made sure to guide them personally.
Fortunately, Javier was truly eager to learn and trained diligently.
His younger sister, due to her age, had a harder time grasping concepts and progressed a bit slower.
"We’ll stop here for today. If you have any questions, you can ask Wealth. He will help you."
After giving this instruction, Amalia informed Wealth before leaving the small world.
Because she had spent some extra time teaching the two siblings, she stayed in the small world longer than expected.
By the time she come out, the battlefield had already been mostly cleaned up.
The Emperor had invited the heroes of the war to the royal court.
Kenny Lin was among them.
As one of the key figures leading the war, he was not only revered by the royal army but had also left the cultivators, including Immortal Duan and his group, feeling deeply shaken.
They had always believed themselves to be the most powerful cultivators in the Erythar Star System, unmatched by anyone.
But today, they had received a very vivid lesson.
It turned out that cultivators could be this powerful.
When Amalia arrived, the grand hall of the royal court was occupied but eerily quiet.
Everyone remained silent and occasionally stealing glances at Kenny Lin, their admiration and apprehension evident in their eyes.
Her arrival broke the strange silence.
Kenny Lin suddenly stood up and stepped down from the seat the Emperor had assigned him.
His every movement drew attention, and as people’s gazes followed him, they finally noticed Amalia entering.
Before this, even Duan Yinghou and the others had failed to notice her arrival.
"Ms. Amalia, I’ve been waiting for you," the Emperor said excitedly, rising from his throne and striding forward to personally welcome her.
On the battlefield, the one who had displayed overwhelming power was still this person.
Although Kenny Lin was undeniably strong, most of them had not witnessed his abilities firsthand; he had only slain a number of aliens.
The Emperor eagerly stepped forward, attempting to grasp Amalia’s hand, but he was blocked.
"Speak properly. Don’t get too close," Kenny Lin said indifferently, glancing at him.
A shiver ran down the Emperor’s spine, and his breath became careful and measured.
He immediately stepped back three paces.
"Yes, yes, that was my mistake."
The people in the hall watched their cautious Emperor as if he had turned into a stranger.
Even when dealing with Duan Yinghou and his group, the Emperor had never been so eager—borderline sycophantic, even.
"Your Majesty, there’s no need for such formality. I am also a citizen of the Draconis Empire; it is only right for me to contribute," Amalia said, choosing not to reveal that she came from another world.
At these words, not only the Emperor but also Sharif, Luhay, and others showed surprised expressions.
"Ms. Amalia is from the Draconis Empire?" the Emperor looked astonished.
Amalia nodded. "My name is Amalia Vanquez and my family used to reside on Planet Veloxia."
With her current strength, there was no longer a need to be secretive.
The Emperor quickly tried to recall whether there had ever been a prominent family named "Vanquez" on Planet Veloxia.
However, with his countless daily responsibilities, he couldn’t remember such a family.
While Amalia spoke, she carefully observed the people in the hall and noticed that only two people reacted upon hearing the name "Vanquez."
"The ’Vanquez’ family Ms. Amalia speaks of—could it be the one that mysteriously vanished over twenty years ago?" Sharif suddenly asked.
Amalia looked at him. "And you are?"
"He is Sharif, a cabinet minister of the Draconis Empire," the Emperor hastily explained.
"You know the Vanquez family?" Amalia’s gaze sharpened.
Sharif remained composed. "I once had a brief encounter with the head of the Vanquez family. I only knew that the Vanquez family was an ancient lineage that had lasted for dozens of generations. However, since its members were very low-key, I never had much interaction with them."
The head of the Vanquez family was Amalia’s grandfather, who had still been leading the family at the time, vigorous and full of life.
"I was the one who knew the Vanquez family head," Luhay added. "We were classmates. Later, I heard that the Vanquez family had been wiped out. At the time, I thought everyone had perished. I never expected you to have survived."
Their relationships with the Vanquez family differed in closeness.
Luhay had only a distant acquaintance with the family head.
After completing his studies, the Vanquez family head had returned to Planet Veloxia and rarely left again.
His relationships with former classmates remained relatively shallow.
Thus, when the tragedy struck, most merely sighed at the news without much emotional attachment.
Years ago, a great tragedy occurred on a planet under the Draconis Empire’s jurisdiction.
The stationed military on Planet Veloxia had investigated the matter, but they found nothing and ultimately left the case unresolved.
Amalia wasn’t surprised.
She could still remember her childhood clearly.
Back then, although the Vanquez family was large and influential, its elders had always been low-key, rarely associating with outsiders.
People like Luhay, who lived on the main star, were far removed from Planet Veloxia.
It was only natural that they had little contact with the elders of the Vanquez family.
She didn’t press further.
After all, she had already searched for so long and found no clues.
These people, who barely had any ties to her family, were even less likely to know anything.
"If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave," Amalia said, glancing around at everyone.
"I’ve already arranged accommodations for the two Immortals at the royal court. Would you be willing to stay...?" the Emperor was reluctant to let them leave so soon.
