I Want to Be President of the Spirit Alliance
Are you suspecting that person wiped out the entire Shane family just to obtain this technique?
The old general nodded.
Maya Summers was silent for a moment, then suddenly said to Grace, "After the New Year, I'll go to Sigil City with you. I want to find him!"
Grace looked at the old general.
The old general sighed and said, "You’re all grown up now, and you have to walk your own path! Your mother and I will go to the temple where I once lived, pray to the gods, and wish for your safety."
"Father, Mother, I’m sorry I can’t stay by your side!" Maya Summers cried.
"Silly child, do you think your parents could tie you to us forever? Go on! Don’t cry!" The old general hugged his youngest daughter and patted her back.
...
After the New Year, Grace first went to pay her respects to Henry Tuoba.
"Your term is almost up—are you leaving?" Henry Tuoba asked.
Mm.
Henry Tuoba nodded and said, "Grace, remember, the Vermilion Kingdom will always be your support."
"Your Majesty, my parents’ fates are unknown, my grandparents have gone to the temple, and the home I once knew has fallen apart."
Grace looked at Henry Tuoba: "But because you’re here, I feel like I have a home. Even if I leave the Vermilion Kingdom, it will always be my home."
Henry Tuoba looked at her, wanting to hold her hand, but pulled back. Finally, he asked, "Will the Imperial Alchemist go too?"
"I don’t know yet," Grace replied. "I’ll look for him after I leave the palace."
"If he goes with you, I’ll feel much more at ease."
"My aunt, Rongyin, and Little Bao will come with me too. Your Majesty doesn’t need to worry," Grace said.
Henry Tuoba nodded.
...
Grace left the palace and went to Full Moon Manor.
She went to tell Jun Lionhead about her upcoming journey to the Eastern Alliance.
"...My application has been approved. Once my year is up, I’ll head to the Eastern Alliance," Grace said.
Jun Lionhead asked, "Why the rush?"
"I..." Grace hesitated, then said, "I want to become President of the Spirit Alliance."
"Hmm?" Jun Lionhead raised his eyebrows.
"It was the Imperial Alchemist’s wish," Grace said. "But it’s also something I want to do. I love being a Spirit Alchemist, and I want to make a difference in the Spirit Alliance."
Jun Lionhead smiled and said, "That’s great."
"Master, once I’m settled in over there and have a place, I’ll bring you over. How about it?"
Jun Lionhead smiled and gently stroked her head. "You truly are a filial disciple."
"Of course I’m filial! Oh, and my Senior Brother will go to the Eastern Alliance too. The two of us will take care of you together, so you must come!"
"You don’t need to fetch me. When the time is right, I’ll come myself."
"When will the time be right?"
"You’ll know when it happens."
"Master, are you speaking in riddles?"
Jun Lionhead smiled.
...
The next year, Grace, having completed her term and reached the ninth rank, left for the Eastern Alliance as the Vermilion Alliance Leader.
Before leaving, she recommended Elder Conrad as President.
At the same time, she entrusted Chirpy to Elder Conrad.
Chirpy had been with her for many years and was reluctant to part.
However, it remained loyal to its first master, forever staying at the Vermilion Spirit Alliance to protect it.
...
The Spirit Alliance's structure is implemented from top to bottom.
At its core is the President, four Vice Presidents, and six departments.
The Pill Department manages finished elixirs.
The Herb Department manages spiritual herbs.
The Artifact Department manages all kinds of spiritual tools and furnaces.
