After all, that portal was supposed to be used just by the clan head of the Larken Clan; it was already a problem for Lashar letting Yale accompany her, so Yale didn't want to increase the difficulty of meeting Revgen by adding Wyba to their group.
After all, Yale's presence could be justified, as he was who discovered the traitors in the Larken Clan and once Revgen knew about his true identity, there wouldn't be any opposition to him using the portal, but there was really no reason to let Wyba accompany them.
The portal was in the underground of the mansion, and it was quite hidden; Yale had been unable to notice its existence until that moment.
That portal was a permanent one, and couldn't compare with the one quickly created to go to Nacesai City. In fact, the portal to Nacesai City had already ceased to exist after Yale's group returned.
"To activate this portal is needed a token that only the heads of the clans have. Moreover, those tokens would be destroyed if we die and while we are alive only we are able to use them, so activating the portals connecting the noble clans with the Imperial Palace would be impossible for anyone that hasn't been acknowledged as the head of a noble clan by the Imperial Family."
Yale frowned when he heard that because he didn't want to rely upon Lashar every time he wanted to go to the Imperial Palace. Moreover, he wanted to speak with Revgen in private after solving the problem of Ange, and that would be difficult with Lashar always around.
After all, if he went using her token as the method to open the portal, he would be under her responsibility, so it would be normal if she were near him all the time.
A clan head bringing someone else to the Imperial Palace wasn't something normal, but it wouldn't be the first time that had happened either. If someone had genuinely relevant information for the Imperial Family, the head of the clan would choose to let that person go to the Imperial Palace and tell the information directly to the Imperial Family. Of course, in such a situation, those people could only be beside their clan head, and couldn't roam freely.
At that moment, a weird idea appeared in Yale's mind, and he took out his Space-time Judgment Sword.
Lashar didn't understand why Yale was taking out his sword; Yale might be her ancestor, but she was confident that Yale wouldn't be able to beat her with his current strength. Even if taking out the sword were a threat to tell her to avoid interfering with his affairs after going to the Imperial Palace, she wouldn't agree.
She had been waiting for so long to increase the position of her Larken Clan, and she decided that being the official supervisor of Yale in the Imperial Palace would help her to improve the impression that the Imperial Family had from the Larken Clan.
After all, Yale was someone who was incredibly powerful in his past life, and being her supervisor when he had turned weak due to reincarnation would surely make the people of the Imperial Family look at the Larken Clan with other eyes.
However, Yale pointed the sword towards the portal and not towards her; that action didn't have any sense on Lashar's eyes, but she was forced to swallow the words she was about to say about stopping wasting time with nonsense because the portal activated after Yale pointed his sword towards it.
"How can this happen?"
Lashar couldn't believe that someone else had activated the portal that only she should be able to activate.
Yale smiled when he saw that the portal activated. He felt strange that Revgen didn't prepare a method for Liye's reincarnation to use those portals freely, and when he thought about something representative of Liye, it was without doubts the Space-time Judgment Sword.
The Space-time Judgment Sword was as a master key for the portals connecting to the Imperial Palace, no matter in which noble clan the portal was situated. Using that sword, the authority of Yale over those portals wasn't inferior to the one held by Revgen.
"You have your token, and I have my sword. Let's go to the Imperial Palace."
Yale acted as if it was normal that he could activate the portal at will and Lashar could only sigh as Yale had destroyed her plan.
"At least I will be with him, and we have already wiped out the traitors of our clan, so our reputation should still improve a bit."
While thinking that, Lashar followed Yale to the portal and both of them disappeared from Larken City.
***
In a dark room situated in the most secure place of the whole Imperial Palace, a handsome man who had been meditating suddenly opened his eyes and smiled.
"So, you finally came to see this old friend of yours. It seems that my time of being shut inside the Imperial Palace is coming to an end. Those traitors of the True Empire have been too cocky all this time I have been secluded. Now that Liye returned, it is time to teach them that no one can threaten our continent and that in my Empire no one can commit such crimes without being harshly punished."
Revgen stood up, and after a lot of years, he left his room; until that moment, those who wanted to see or speak with him had always gone to that room, he had never left that room to meet someone.
However, after sensing that the Space-time Judgment Sword had activated a portal leading to the Imperial Palace, Revgen decided to go out. After all, he hadn't seen his friend for thousands of years, and he was quite eager to speak with Liye again after so much time.
