Evan grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet, but she nearly staggered and fell almost immediately. Evan helped her stabilize herself and after she regained her balance she looked up and noticed her line of sight had increased.

"I got taller…"

"Good for you."

Evan was already tall for his age, standing at 5 feet 10 inches, so he wasn't expecting any height increments anytsoon. He was still an inch taller than Heather was even though he did not get taller and he made sure to point out that height difference and rub it in her face.

It did earn him a right straight to his stomach which he just barely dodged.

◇ ◇ ◇

Heather used one of the Empty Museum rooms as a changing room and tossed on a new set of clothes from her spatial bracelet before heading back to the Magic Circle Chamber where Evan was seated and sipping a strawberry juice pack.

She saw three more empty packs on the floor, and after remembering that Evan had drank strawberry wine earlier, she quickly figured that might be his favourite.

"You're finally done."

"And your horns are gone."

That was the first thing that Heather noticed when she looked at Evan and the boy nodded before sending a stream of magic power to the crown of his head.

Just like his wings, his horns rematerialized as he spoke.

"I'm a Draconic Human. Unlike Dragonkin who can't retract their horns, I am capable of switching to my 'Human Mode', and with that, my horns disappear."

"I see…"

Evan nodded and dematerialized them, and with that, he felt that his magic manipulation abilities dropped a little.

The Horns gave him a boost to his magic manipulation, acting as a built-in Magic Catalyst that boosted the strength of everything he did with magic power, but this only applied when they were visible.

He also noticed that now that his Dragon and Human sides were balanced, he was even 'closer to Nature' than before.

His affinity with spirits also increased exponentially as well.

'Dragons were beings of Nature in one gI played. Guess that applies a bit here…'

Evan put that thought at the back of his mind and then led Heather towards the exit. Along the way, they talked a bit and it was then Heather asked a question.

"How did you really find out about this place?"

"Trade Secret."

The Princess only sighed and shook her head as she expected this kind of answer from Evan. She didn't bother trying to get any more answers from him and focused her gaze on the light at the end of the tunnel in front of them.

Upon reaching it, they found themselves in a massive room with a magic circle on the floor, and like before, her ring was shining.

When they stepped into it, they were wreathed in a spatial light and warped right to the surface, directly inside an empty room with nothing but a magic circle at their feet.

"Where are we?"

"I think this is Brightwall Fort…"

"Wait, what?!"

Heather could not help but exclaim out loud, but immediately, she clamped her mouth shut with her hands.

Brightwall Fort was the nof the Cudjour base they were to be attacking to start their takeover of the state, so it was only natural she was surprised.

Evan quickly grabbed her and activated both Concealment and Lethe, before dragging her towards the nearby window.

He looked out and used Farsight to zoom to the top of a random rooftop of the city in the distance, activating BoD and then Blink to teleport out of the room.

Right after that, the doors to the room opened and Wolfen Soldiers barged in.

However, despite their mages seeing signs that the magic circle had been activated recently, there was no one inside the room.

◇ ◇ ◇

Evan and Heather had to sneak around the streets of Cudjour, covering their heads with hoodies that he had in his inventory.

Although he had Body Transformation, he didn't want to reveal this skill to Heather just yet, so he refrained from using it and went with a hood and mask.

As they moved, they saw newspaper vendors selling the day's print and Evan saw his face on the front page, smiling wryly as he thought of how much of a disaster it'd be if someone saw his face now.

When they found a deserted alleyway, they slipped into it and Evan decided to call their ride out.

'Kuro. Cover.'

The boy's shadow wriggled lightly and the familiar black cat jumped out, landing on Heather's head, much to her surprise.

"Wh-"

[Stand on Master's shadow.]

"huh?"

Evan silently pulled Heather and made her stand in his shadow before Kuro nodded and activated his Shadow Movement.

The three disappeared into the boy's shadow and re-emerged from the shadow of a certain chestnut brown-haired and emerald green-eyed woman.

Immediately she saw Heather, the woman pulled the princess away from Evan and proceeded to pat her body down, checking for any injuries.

"Calm down, Lady Lierin. I'm fine."

Heather reassured the woman, but even still, she still had a worried look on her face. That look of worry turned to a frown and she glared at Evan who had plopped down on a nearby chair in the Tent they were in like it was his house.

"What? Got a problem?"

He didn't bother hiding his dislike for her, and though the woman had a thousand and one problems, she did not say anything.

Or rather, she had been ordered NOT to say anything, by none other than the father of the Princess in her arms.

To understand why Lierin was waiting patiently for Evan and Heather's return and not trying to blow a hole through the mountain, we'd need to backtrack to the conversation Evan and Eliza had on the 29th.

◇ ◇ ◇

Evan had informed Eliza of his plan to get Heather into that underground facility in the Cudjour Mountain.

Before he went to meet Heather, he sent a message to Eliza and told her to then pass his message to the Emperor and considering Eliza had somehow becclose with the man over a chess game, it wasn't too hard for her to see him.

Of course, there was the fact that she was having tea with the Empress and snoble ladies at the tso that made things easier.

She then proceeded to inform Isaac about Evan's plan and unsurprisingly, the man was NOT happy with it.

He didn't lose his cool and contacted Lierin immediately, and that was the exact moment when Evan and Heather were pulled into the hole.

Lierin would have ignored her communicator, but the one that was ringing was the one that was given to her so the Emperor could directly contact her, so she answered it quickly, not daring to make the Emperor wait.

Naturally, Isaac tried contacting Heather as well, but the Underground facility was built with a metal that insulated magic, so naturally, magical signals could not penetrate through its many layers and get to her, deep underground.

Isaac confirmed what was happening from her first, before instructing her to sit back and wait. Or rather, they had no choice but to sit back and wait as if what Evan told Eliza to inform him was true, then they needed a Living Legend to have a chance of being able to force their way in.

A Living Legend and yet their entry was still not guaranteed.

Isaac had his doubts, but when he heard from Lierin that there was Gravity Law energy, he understood why Evan said that. If the entrance was sealed with World Law energy, then only Legendary Levels could do anything about it.

Evan had also said that by the tany Legendary Isaac sent was to get there, then they'd already be out.

He left out the part where the exit led them into Cudjour, not wanting to make the Emperor any more annoyed than he was going to be when he heard the news and that was a very good idea.

When Eliza told him about the part where the Facility somehow increased one's Race Breed, Isaac was dumbfounded as he had never heard of such a thing happening for free before.

Now, that Evan and Heather had finally resurfaced, the Princess first of all contacted her father to let him know she was fine.

She then told him about what happened, leaving out the part with the 'Hall of Statues' as it wasn't something she could discuss over a projection call.

When she confirmed that she had indeed beca High Human, a bit of Isaac's anger lessened, but he was still annoyed at Evan's actions.

Even more so when the boy didn't seem to show any remorse, only laughing while saying that Heather benefited from it.

Just when Isaac was about to flip out, Evan suddenly stopped laughing and adopted a more serious demeanour, reminding the man of his intention to increase the strength of Aidos' combatants.

Gesturing to Heather, he stated how someone with great prospects like her would be very useful combat power, so making her a High Human was his investment in her.

Because of Evan's normal attitude which made it seem like he never took anything seriously, these rare moments when he adopted a serious demeanour had more impact.

Evan, of course, knew this and made sure to take advantage of it. He let people get used to his usual nonchalant side and when he needed them to back down silently, he switched up his attitude.

In this 'serious' mode, Evan had ssort of invisible pressure around him that rendered listeners silent.

After all of that was sorted out, Lierin corresponded with Beluar and Amiyah to know their positions for the attack.

She also sent out sscouts towards Brightwall Fort to gain information about the situation there as well, and after compiling all the data and discussing it with her Generals, they decided on a plan of action.

Seeing her like this, Evan felt the woman showed competence deserving of her position, but he quickly took his attention off her, opting to spend his tbugging Heather.

It reached the point where the Princess fought back, picking Luna as the means to annoy him in return and though she did not know why it was so effective in getting Evan off her back, she used it anyway.

Of course, it was all jokes between them and they didn't actually piss each other off.

It'd be pretty bad for anyone in the surrounding area if they actually did, after all.
