Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2117

Elysia couldn't understand how Serelith, her flesh and blood, could be this cold-hearted.

…

Everything about the Ignis family was swiftly cast to the back of Shannon's mind with the departure of the retinue.

No matter what Maeric and Elysia might think, Serelith was gone, and so were any remaining ties between her and the Ignis family.

Though Shannon had yet to be formally crowned the queen, the retinue welcoming her into the palace today followed the grand rites of a future queen. The scale and pomp were no less magnificent than a coronation.

People all over the capital had witnessed yesterday's legendary fire phoenix summoning a host of birds from all directions. Then came the news that the king himself had arrived in person and conferred the title of queen on the spot.

So today, the streets were packed. Everyone had gathered and hoped to catch a glimpse of the Chosen One who'd drawn a hundred birds in reverence. Surely she was a celestial beauty unlike any other.

Shannon paid little attention to the surrounding onlookers. She followed the flow of the retinue and looked up at the end of the long streets, where the towering palace walls loomed.

Above those walls, golden dragon energy shrouded the halls. Within that dragon energy, a hint of black fog lingered just as Lucan had said—the calamity of Celestria.

According to Shannon and Benjamin's original plan, they only needed to find Velquin and draw power from the source hidden in his divine soul to strengthen Trevaris. Only then could Trevaris break free from Vlad's control, and their three-thousand-year mission would be complete.

After experiencing everything with Serelith, Shannon had another idea.

She and Benjamin had been reborn through Serelith and Benemir's bodies; could that be just a coincidence?

Now, they were here encountering their past lives in a timeline six thousand years ago. Could that be a coincidence too?

If not, as the king, Benjamin could not escape the calamity of Celestria, and neither would she.
