Transmigrated as a Ghost

Marcus looked at Boreas with a dumbfounded expression written visibly all over his face.

He had not even imagined that it would be suggested that they bring Lyra into their discussion, since she was thousands of miles away, and busy in her role as duchess of a large territory.

“Wait, we cannot just go and grab her. She is not even in the kingdom. It is not like it would be a quick jaunt to just go pick her up. And with her station, there is no way we could do it unannounced.” Marcus said frantically trying to stop Boreas from continuing with his ridiculous idea.

However, he just smiled, and said, “It should be fine. I can have us there in just a couple of minutes, and it is a rare opportunity for four people from Earth to get together here on Mirrion, so I am sure she can make a bit of time. Especially if her good friends asks her, right?”

Seeing that Boreas was not going to let this go, Marcus turned towards Jaela to find an ally to help him out.

Unfortunately, she had a sparkle in her eyes, and it became apparent very quickly that she was also interested in speaking to Lyra._.

“I believe it would be best to add her to the group. Think about how she would feel when she finds out she was left out of our discussions. As Boreas said, it is rare for us reincarnates and transmigrators to meet up. Other than you two, even in all my time here I have only encountered five others, and four of them are gone now. So, I would like to meet your friend.”

With the two of them wanting to bring Lyra onboard, Marcus could tell he had no real choice in the matter.

He was afraid that if he refused to help, Boreas might even act on his own, since he already knew where Lyra was.

“Okay, we can go and see her. But if she really is too busy for a long chat, we will need to leave her alone.” Marcus said.

After that Boreas got up and told both Marcus and Jaela to stand next to him, and just an instant after they did, they were all suddenly outside of the castle floating in the air above it.

As Marcus looked around stunned, Boreas said with a smirk, “Being the first king comes with its privileges. I can move around freely anywhere on the castle grounds. Now brace yourself, the start up might be a little rough.”

Just a moment latter the three them were wrapped up in a high-speed whirlwind and suddenly accelerated at an alarming rate that was followed by a loud sonic boom within less than a second.

For a few seconds Marcus felt an incredible force bearing down on him, and he was certain that if he was still human the breath would have been forced out of him and he would have started suffocating.

Of course, Boreas and Jaela were perfectly fine, as at their levels they were accustomed to moving at such high speeds, and their bodies were more than strong enough to take the sudden strain without any issue.

Within just a few minutes just as Boreas had said, they arrived over the city of Valenhart which looked quite similar to how it had the last time Marcus had been here.

But for Boreas, he let out an impressed whistle, and said, “This place certainly has gotten bigger, and more impressive. It is even larger than Venice now.”

As Boreas looked down with nostalgia, Marcus could tell that he had some memories of this place, though when he said Venice, he also looked quite nostalgic and homesick.

“Now if your friend is the duchess, she must be in the castle, correct?” Boreas asked after looking down upon the city for a dozen seconds.

“Yeah, she probably is, but I am sure I do not need to tell you that it would be a bad idea for us to just barge in. Allow me to go down alone and explain the situation to her.”

Both Jaela and Boreas told Marcus they were fine with him going in alone, but to try and hurry back soon.

Letting out a sigh of exasperation, he went into his ghost form and shot down towards the castle.

When he entered inside, he reached out to make a telepathic connection with Lyra and found that she was indeed inside the castle.

‘Lyra, sorry to bother you all of a sudden, but do you have some time to talk right now?’

Suddenly receiving Marcus’ communication, Lyra began making unintelligible noises in surprise, before calming down a bit, and saying, ‘Marcus what are you doing here? Is there some sort of emergency you need my help with?’

‘No there is no sort of emergency, it is just that I was having a meeting with a couple other people originally from Earth, and when I mentioned you, they asked that we add you to the discussion. So, we came here to get you. If you have the time?’

Lyra thought about the situation for a few seconds as Marcus waited patiently in silence.

‘Sorry, I would like to, but I am very busy with work right now. I am sure as you know but the southern nations are trying to muscle in on whatever territory they can get now that they know Tralenstein is going to be incorporated as part of Borealia and our defenses are still lacking from the civil war. I am busy coordinating supplies and troops from here in Valenhart and there is no way I can get away right now.’

‘I see that is too bad, but I understand. I will tell the others.’ Marcus responded.

He then contacted Boreas and Jaela and told them that Lyra was too busy dealing with the conflicts happening between the southern nations and Tralenstein.

Yet while Marcus thought that would be the end of it, Boreas said, ‘Well if that is what is holding her up, then there should be no problem if I go and end the fighting right here and now.
