"Mother, how long are you back for this time?" Estelia asked her mother when dinner ended.
"The Upper Realm has been quite chaotic recently, but I don't think anything bad will happen if I don't return for a week."
"Chaotic? What do you mean?" Even Lysander looked surprised, hearing his wife mention something that she hadn't even told him yet. "Is it dangerous for you?"
"There seems to be a massive power struggle in the Temple of Light. Their leader died suddenly, and all the heirs are fighting for the position. They have also dragged nearby forces into their mess, so the entire continent is unstable recently."
"Isn't the Temple of Light a significant force in the Upper Realm? How did their leader die? If it's not safe for you there, maybe you should stay here longer."
"If I returned now, who would take care of the girls? The Sect that I established in the Upper Realm might not be the strongest force, but it has its own place. I can't abandon it."
