"Mr. Sparrow, what are you doing here?" Jared was quite surprised to see Hester. Normally, someone
of Hester's rank wouldn't be stationed at the city gate.
"I came here specifically to wait for you. You, young man, have offended the Demon Seal Alliance. If
the people from the Demon Seal Alliance kill you, won't the Ice Soul Pill be lost?" Hester smiled faintly.
Jared looked at Hester with great puzzlement. He couldn't understand how Hester, in Jipsdale, knew
about his conflict with the Demon Seal Alliance.
"Mr. Chance, your every move in the far north is well-known within Jipsdale. If they hadn't known that
you had gotten the Ice Soul Pill, they wouldn't have let me out of Jipsdale!" Yuven explained, seeing
Jared's bewildered expression.
Yuven didn't understand how the countess of Jipsdale knew about Jared's every move as well, but he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas well aware that there was no way to hide things from her.
Jared felt a shiver down his spine. He couldn't fathom how the countess was privy to his actions.
Fortunately, he had no intention of keeping the Ice Soul Pill for himself. Otherwise, Yuven might have
been in danger.
"Mr. Sparrow, please lead the way," Jared said after taking a deep breath. He didn't want to know how
the countess was keeping track of him. Sometimes, the more one knew, the scarier it would be.
He just wanted to leave Jipsdale quickly and then help Yuven reclaim Imperial Beast City. Hester led
Jared's group straight to the small two-story building where the countess was staying.
When they arrived at the front of the small building, Hester didn't bother to announce their arrival. He
simply pushed the door open. Jared was surprised, but he entered, while the others waited outside.
Upon entering the small building, Jared was astonished to find a middle-aged woman wearing a
phoenix hairpin on her head and a red robe sitting in the countess' seat.
Although she was no longer young, her skin was smooth and in good condition. However, this woman
was nothing more than a spiritual form and had no physical body. Although Jared hadn't seen the
countess' true appearance, he knew for certain that this woman was the countess.
"You're back." The countess smiled faintly.
"I am, and I've retrieved the Ice Soul Pill for you..." Jared quickly took out the Ice Soul Pill and handed it
over with both hands.
However, the countess didn't accept the Ice Soul Pill. Instead, she looked at Hester, who nodded in
response. Hester took the Ice Soul Pill and walked toward her.
"Ginevra, your wish is finally going to come true..." Hester flashed a slight smile. As Jared listened to
Hester's words and observed the look in his eyes, he was momentarily dumbfounded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe could see from Hester's eyes a profound affection for the countess. Moreover, Hester had
addressed her by her name directly. Wasn't this a bit too presumptuous?
Surprisingly, Ginevra didn't seem angry. She took the Ice Soul Pill from Hester's hand and looked
apologetic. "Hester, thank you for taking care of me over the years. I'm sorry...
As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.
"What are you saying? I did all this willingly. After this, you must promise me not to do anything foolish
again. You won't be so lucky every time!" Hester spoke with great affection.
"Okay!" Ginevra nodded vigorously. Then, she slowly opened her mouth and swallowed the Ice Soul
Pill. Instantly, Ginevra's body began to emit a pure white light, and she gradually floated up from her
seat.
The light made Ginevra's body appear extremely transparent. As a soul form to begin with, she was
now slowly disappearing within the radiance.
In the end, Ginevra vanished entirely without leaving behind even a trace of her presence.
