Still, what Noel didn't expect was that, three days after Anna returned, Layla actually came back from the trip.
Even Noel didn't expect for Layla to come back before he even attacked the third prince.
That was why he couldn't help but wonder if this would impact his plan.
"Saintess? You have returned? Are you alone?" Noel looked around, not finding his mother, Dimitri, or Milfa.
Layla nodded. "Yes. I have returned, Marquis. I'd like to thank you for your help. Only because of your help can I somehow reach this level."
Layla had indeed become a spirit transcendence. Anna couldn't help but examine her further, wondering if she could find out about what happened in the demon territory by examining the wound.
However, Layla waved her hand and said, "You don't have to worry. The reason I return this time is actually because of your esteemed mother."
"My mother? Did something happen to my mother?" Noel panicked, thinking he had harmed his mother.
