Just as William kept acting as if he couldn't see that lady, a familiar voice finally came from his side, saving him from this annoyance!

"At last, you are here," William turned to meet the newcomer.

"Are you in such a hurry to send me back to the palace?!" Sara's mother looked at William in a weird way, before turning to look at the weirder lady that kept jumping around as if she was a performance girl.

William sent for Sara to fetch her mother. He knew if this lady was attached to the palace by any means, then Sara's mother would be the only one to know about her.

"Not that," William looked closer at Sara's mother, trying to read anything from her expression. Her look made Sara's mother uncomfortable, as she took a step back to make some distance between the two.

"Hey there, let's stop such games already," she sighed, "I don't know what went into your mind, but I'm sure you didn't bring me here to try and tease me or something!"

"I want something from you," William didn't change the look on his face, "can you check this lady out and tell me if you recognise her?"

"Who? Her?!" Sara's mother looked surprised, before turning to fully focus on the mysterious girl. Her face, reaction, and attitude told William what he needed to know, even before she would speak up, "I never saw her before in my life!"

"Tsk!" William turned to look at the lady in frustration. He was positive that she didn't belong to the palace, and yet she was here with them acting like she was part of that evil force!

If the palace was a majestic and good force, then he would have understood why this lady took such trouble and acted as if she belonged there. But the palace was simply part of the dark master forces, strong indeed, but still not that supreme out there!

There were much stronger forces than it. Another point was that dark master forces never tolerated someone acting as if he or she belonged to them that kindly. Not to mention, there was no gain in acting like this and claiming to be part of such evil force in the upper realm!

In brief, from what William could tell, there was zero benefit for this lady to take such trouble and act as if she belonged to the palace. And being part of the dark master forces that came to support the palace in this war crossed William's mind for a brief moment, but there was lots of evidence pointing against this!

For example, why did the palace masters keep listening to her words and orders if she didn't belong to them? Also why was she dressed in that special uniform, the one that William only saw Lingerie's special squad wear in this war!

"If you thought so for her attire, equipment, and gears… Then yes, she is dressed like a Black Fairy, the strongest and most trusted force in the palace for Lingerie. But…"

Sara's mother addressed the point that puzzled William the most, "I know all of the Black Fairies, and she isn't one of them… That's weird… Lingerie made these attires herself! No one else can do it, not in the palace, not in the world!"

"They are just clothes," William didn't give much heed to what Sara's mother said. But from the look on her face when he said these words, he could tell he made some sort of big mistake here.

"These aren't just normal clothes, they have some sort of connection on spirit level," Sara's mother corrected William, "if a group of five wore the same attire, they could share part of their spirit powers together! That's not just to supplement any loss of spirit power or something trivial like that, it's an additive power that adds to one's strength…"

"The power of one turn into the power of everyone… Impressive!" William's eyes shone brightly when he heard what Sara's mother said. He wasn't unfamiliar with that concept. There were masters able to craft such masterpieces, extremely rare talent even in the upper realm.

"Damn! If I knew this earlier…" William regretted being hasty in killing Lingerie. And his comment made Sara's mother raise an eyebrow out of surprise!

"Don't tell me you would have spared her only for that!" she couldn't help but laugh, and William ignored her.

[Look for any master who wears the same attire as that lady and make sure to collect the clothes] He didn't delay a single moment and sent this order to his friends.

Even if he killed the master, the masterpieces left by Lingerie were still around! He was sure he collected everything from the strong masters he killed, yet he never touched the clothes! He actually never spared such a useless item a look before!

So he was sure these special garments were out there, waiting for him and his men to loot! And if Lingerie used these for her Black Fairies, he would use them for his girls, the Black Tails leaders!

"I've killed Lingerie somewhere in this place…" William acted as if he was trying his best to recall something, but he couldn't. This was an act, anyone watching right now would easily tell that, "Why don't you go and find her body? After all, you won't get that palace seat without her dead body!"

"What a naughty boy you are," Sara's mother didn't have much choice here. She knew something was off before, yet when she came down here, she spotted the deadly bombs lying around! There wasn't just one bomb, there were more than a dozen! And one was enough to make her run for her spirit!

"I'll make sure you get watched closely," William shouted while she was walking away, "so don't have any funny thoughts!"

"Damn you!" he heard her muffled curses which he totally ignored.

"Now it's time to decide what to do with you," as Sara's mother failed to identify this mysterious lady, William had no choice but to use that last method, "why don't you spare both of us the trouble and tell me who you are?"
