Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 675 - 289 Visiting the Ancient Castle_2

"Please wait a moment, Lady Ti Lan; we have sent someone to awaken Miss Ran Bei'er. She is in the process of awakening and should be able to meet you in about 20 minutes," they said.

"Mm, it's fine." The girl held her fragrant tea, nodded slightly, took a small sip, then set it down.

It's a bit hot; it's probably better to drink it when it cools down, she complained inwardly.

Sitting in the hall for a while, Ran Bei'er hurried down the stairs from one side, approached Lady Ti Lan, and shyly lowered her head.

"I apologize for being late, Your Highness," she said.

"Please sit," Ti Lan said. After Ran Bei'er had taken her seat, Ti Lan blinked her eyes, appraising the 'young girl' with pale pink hair in front of her.

Although Ran Bei'er appeared to be only around 18 years old, Ti Lan knew that the other's real age was far from it. She must be a member of the Blood Clan who had lived for a very long time; these ancient descendants were now considered rare creatures in the Interstellar Era.

"How is your recovery going, Ran Bei'er?" Ti Lan asked.

"I have mostly recovered now, gradually returning to my peak condition," Ran Bei'er replied.

As she spoke, Ran Bei'er lifted her palm, a flash of bright red crossed her fingernails, and a sphere of brilliant blood-red slowly materialized. This sphere, constructed of pure magic power, was extremely beautiful, like a tapestry of millions of layers of red gemstones, pulsating with an odd magic aura.

Since the last time they fought and Ti Lan subjugated her, the ancient descendant of the Blood Clan had been healed from the aftereffects in her bloodline with Ti Lan's help and then entered a state of slumber for recovery. Nearly two years had passed since then, and she had only recently begun to awaken.

Sensing the blood-red, resplendent sphere of magic power before her, a faint red reflection also appeared in Ti Lan's eyes.

It was probably the strength of a Sequence 7, but Ti Lan had seen few at Sequence 7; she didn't have an intuitive feel for which stage Ran Bei'er was at among the Transcendent at Sequence 7.

She should be strong, should she not? Ti Lan blinked, and her eyes also cleared, becoming as calm and translucent as a serene blue lake.

Afterward, Ti Lan asked Ran Bei'er in detail about some matters related to her ancient lineage and the early history of the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain.

"When I came to Jade Skirt, this place had already developed. The Federation hadn't started the civil war yet, and the factions and forces within Jade Skirt hadn't become as distinct as today's 'Royalist Faction' and 'Starship Faction.' Most were what are now referred to as the 'Local Faction' and a small number of 'Crystal Mine Faction,'" Ran Bei'er said, remembering.

"Back then, there wasn't a term like 'Local Faction' because they were new powers emerging on the planet, cooperating and competing with each other, as well as having disputes and frictions."

"The Crystal Mine Faction exists in many Star Domains. They are mostly very low-key, and they generally do not get involved in the internal struggles for power in the Star Domains. They only need to mine the special ores they require."

"I will compile the information about the early history of the Four-leaf Crystal you wish to know and send it to you later," she said.

Later, Ti Lan also learned from Ran Bei'er about the current state of her species and their distribution within the Federation.

"I'm not sure about that; although our existences are quite similar, there are also big differences between us. We aren't the tightly organised group most imagine. In fact, we are quite scattered, with very little contact and communication between us," Ran Bei'er explained.

Knowing the situation, Ti Lan did not continue to probe further.

Later, at Ran Bei'er's instruction, the maids in the Ancient Castle prepared a lavish banquet to host Ti Lan, and before leaving, Ran Bei'er asked if she needed some maidservants as assistants.

"These maids are descendants of our clan. Their strength is between Sequence 5 and Sequence 6, and due to the special nature of their bloodline, their enhanced abilities make them stronger than Transcendent of the same rank, capable of many special tasks," Ran Bei'er offered.

"This..." Ti Lan pondered for a moment and then nodded.

She indeed needed some assistants. Although she was currently the core of the Edith faction, the much-admired Songstress and Student Council President, many of the groups were there for her because of their interests; it was hard to say they were absolutely loyal. The ancient clan members like Ran Bei'er were different, as they relied more on the political shelter provided by Ti Lan.

Being a species different from native humans, living within the Federation was already a gray area, between being legal and illegal. Being too prominent could easily draw the Court of Judgment's scrutiny. If they had Ti Lan's endorsement and protection, as long as they didn't go too far, the court's officials would not specifically trouble them.

"That's wonderful—thank you, Your Highness," Ran Bei'er said, her voice betraying rare joy upon seeing Ti Lan agree.

Although she was able to enter Edith Academy and live as a student, it didn't mean the maids in the Ancient Castle had the same opportunity. Many of them couldn't obtain a normal status within the Federation, and their uniqueness made them unable to pass strict inspections in certain situations. So, even though the maids' abilities were strong and they weren't young, many had never left the castle, either doing simple tasks or spending their time in sleep and slumber.

Are you that happy? Feeling the sincere joy from Ran Bei'er's heart, Ti Lan asked about the situation and then understood.

"If that's the case, I should be able to provide some help," Ti Lan nodded slightly.

The maids—more accurately, the girls—in the castle reacted with surprise and joy to the news, filling the space with screams and laughter. Then, under the guidance and direction of Ran Bei'er, they gradually contained their excitement, gradually gathering together.
