Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Alex didn't mind; he also felt curious about the real translation, as Vesa's results didn't make much sense to him.

At first, he wanted to ask Amu and Freya about it, but since the topic of their last battle on the war came up, the atmosphere became heavy, making Alex not want to stay any longer.

Reading the tablet, Lily's expression changed to one filled with disappointment.

This made Alex frown, "Is something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing new. I have read this before in the castle library.

It's just one of those fictional stories written for entertainment purposes, and here I expected it to be something important or at least a story I haven't read yet."

"What is written there?"

"It just tells how the protagonist is saddened because his allies backstab him from behind by attacking his city from the sky."

"Ah," Alex replied while he thought, 'So Vesa's translation is not that far off.'

"Oh well, forget it. Where do you want to go now? Do you want to see some of our local attractions?"

Alex put a thought on it; he wanted to see the city, the food, and how the feline race live, but for now, there is something more important for him.

"Can you bring me to a library, one that is filled with this place's history?"

He wants to take as much information as he can, scan the documents, and then use Vesa to analyze it.

From this, he will learn many things, from technological advancements, who hold power, and whether any of history is manipulated.

If history is manipulated, that means the politics of the feline species doesn't differ much from humans.

But his request was met with a frown from Lily, "No, I am not going back to the palace. If you still want to, I will gladly drop you at the gate; with that bracelet, no one will dare to touch you."

"Is there something special with mine?"

"I don't know what the sentinel is thinking, but yours is a special one. Look, this is mine." Lily said while raising her hand, showing a bracelet similar to the one Alex wears.

Her design is slimmer, looking like a chain linked together, but the biggest difference comes in color.

"Mine is black, same with other Guardian; the royalty is gold or silver, depending on the rank. Gold was for pure nobles, and silver was for those who were married to it.

Bronze for officials like cops and civil servants. The citizens can then use the rest of the colors."

"What does mine mean then? It's pure crystal; it doesn't have any color."

"Yours means the Sentinel Envoy.

Usually, someone is only chosen if the sentinel needs to intervene in a conflict between nobles since it has grown too big.

The last time this happened was a thousand years ago; everyone who lived when that happened had already died.

So, using that bracelet in public, not to mention coming to the palace, good luck being invited to many parties."

Alex's lips twitched.

Looking at the crystal bracelet on his hand, which looks more like a bangle, made him realize the sentinel had another purpose in telling him to go around the city.

He started wondering if Aimu really needed some time to allow him out or not.

'Damn, that old man screwed me over.' Alex cursed in his mind.

He cannot take off the bangle since it will undo his transformation, making him stand out even more in public.

He then asked Lily, "Can you order some clothes for me? It's better if it's one that can hide this bangle."

"No, you cannot; hiding one's own bangle, not using one, or even faking the color is a capital offense.

We have many cases where someone tried to fake their bangle color, so there are many countermeasures in place.

And yours is special; I am sure the sentinel has put some countermeasure not allowing you to change its color."

'That means my only option if I don't want to attract any attention is to go back and hide myself from the public eyes until the sentinel is ready,'

But he doesn't want to do this; it's a rare opportunity to visit another civilization and one that is welcoming to him.

'Fine, if you want to do it like this old man, don't blame me for using it to my benefit. Since I cannot lay low, I may as well use the attention to my benefit!'

Meanwhile, in the sentinel's house, Aimu was laughing his ass off; the depressing atmosphere Alex was in is nowhere to be seen.

"I am sure that boy realizes his situation now."

Freya looked at Aimu with a frown, "You are playing with fire, Aimu. You underestimate Alex too much. What if he uses it to make trouble in your kingdom?"

"He wouldn't dare go over the line; besides, that is what I hope.

Those stupid descendants of mine are starting to have weird ideas. That boy is the best one to punish them."

"Well, that is one of the upsides of having a small kingdom like mine now; no need to worry about this kind of thing."

Freya paused for a moment, her eyebrows furrowed together, then said, "I forgot to tell him not to tell anyone about my existence."

"Don't worry, he is not that stupid. Besides, who will believe him other than Lily? And Lily will go out soon, so nothing to worry about."

Freya sighed; she realized what Aimu said was correct. Freya has a separate area in the secret realm for the fairy race.

She and Aimu did this to make sure the Fairy and Feline don't interact with each other.

After all, they are different species, and the fairy race is small in number. Freya doesn't want to take the risk of any problem brewing between their races that would then strain the relationship between her and Aimu.

As someone experienced in leading a country for many years, they know conflict is unavoidable, even with enough resources; there will always be some difference that spurs out, escalating into conflict.
