Clara let her right hand relax as she thought 'Is this the laws I naturally comprehended with my eyes? The power of a ruler, was it?'

She remembered that her mother once said that her unique eyes had something to do with being an authentic ruler. However, she couldn't be sure about it.

When she commanded Uncle Jonas to not stare at her, Clara felt the words she echoed manifest like an ethereal mystery.

The moment she entered the Law Seed Stage, she had realized that she had comprehended a mysterious law along with her breakthrough. She wanted to test it out for a while but didn't dare to do so thinking that it can easily harm or cripple a person.

Nevertheless, her Uncle, Jonas had crossed the limits by staring at her for too long.

Nowadays, since she had grown exponentially beautiful, she became self-conscious of the stares and opted to wore a veil to cover her facial features but to feel the breeze, she had taken it off temporarily.

She had visited the park to get a breather from the cramped atmosphere of the throne hall but was then gazed by a person for too long which she didn't like.

On top of it, she felt that her uncle who was at the Law Seed Stage would be able to handle her powers.

In any case, she hadn't gone too overboard with displaying her prowess. Otherwise, it was unknown if Uncle Jonas's eyeballs would've burst into a blood fountain.

As for why the others did not get injured by her laws, it mainly lied with the reason that they didn't 'stare' at her but only looked at her for a moment.

"I did what Uncle Jonas deserved..." Clara indifferently replied after the silent pause.

"You!" Viktor became stumped because of his niece's reply.

He didn't know much about Clara but he knew that she would never bother with a person unless it piqued her curiosity.

He couldn't help but look at Jonas with suspicion, 'Did Jonas do something? '

'Could it be that he did something offensive to the incumbent ruler, Empress Clara?' This thought flashed past Viktor's mind before he glanced back at Clara.

"What did he deserve..."

"Viktor..." Jonas suddenly interrupted, garnering the attention of the others, "It's my fault."

He rubbed his eyes and stood up, the whites of his eyes no longer bloodshot like before. Only his wide sleeves were smeared with blood.

However, there was a hidden rage in his pupils, swelling to unfold out in the open.

He had clearly heard her words, "Staring at her is prohibited" but he continued to watch for a moment despite his sense of danger warning him.

He instantly assumed his niece had attacked him using some mysterious means but he wasn't surprised since he too possessed mysterious means...

'Nevertheless, even if I was staring at her, it shouldn't be enough to be punished like this right?' He felt humiliated!

"Jonas, what did you do?" Viktor couldn't help but ask Jonas with a Soul Transmission.

Jonas didn't hide and explained what he did in an instant and looked at Clara with anger for being punished.

Jonas took to the air as he looked down on Clara, "I request a duel! If you manage to stay standing for five minutes against me, I'm willing to kowtow and apologize!"

*Boom!~*

His words were like thunder, shocking those who were below to a great degree.

Viktor's face changed while Meng Ying became shocked.

Only Mo Mingzhi's eyes flashed with a tinge of excitement as she was looking forward to a battle between high stage cultivators.

However, when she looked at Clara and realized that she is Tian Long's younger sister, she became worried. From what she had seen before on earth, she recalled that the relationship between him and his little sister seemed to be well since he didn't seem to hide the secrets of his reincarnation or transmigration from her!

She instantly wanted to step in to stop their battle but realized that she was someone who could not even protect herself from their undulations!...

Viktor instantly berated Jonas through Soul Transmission.

"Stop it, Jonas. It is clear that you were in the wrong! Don't forget that she is the Empress now and that you had stared at her for too long."

Although he too held resentment for this matter, Clara is the current reigning Empress.

Insulting her or attacking her meant going against the Empire!

But how can Jonas not understand that?

"As I said before, it will be only a duel and not a full-fledged battle! Of course, you can reject it but I will not apologize." Jonas tried to explain himself.

"I accept."

Viktor was just about to berate Jonas again but he heard Clara speak! He simultaneously looked at her and saw that her expression was as indifferent as ever.

'Could it be that she doesn't understand the significance of the battle?' He couldn't help but doubt.

If the reigning Empress lost, then it would be quite the humiliation in the Loret Empire's history.

Of course, people could also interpret this as a friendly battle but this was a battle who had someone stake their honor!

Even Jonas was taken aback as he didn't think that his niece would accept the battle...

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you aware that your majesty should apologize if you were to lose?"

Clara nodded her head indifferently.

How could she not be aware? Although her emotional quotient is low, the same couldn't be said about her intelligence!

Besides, someone of similar strength had challenged her to a duel! If she couldn't even accept it, then forget about following her elder brother to the First Layer! She felt that it would be better to stay at home!

As for losing, she wasn't worried at all!

Jonas inwardly laughed as he could see her eyes blazing with confidence. He couldn't help but inwardly mock, 'Little girl, let me show you that the gap between levels in the Law Seed Stage isn't anything small...'

Indeed, as the stages increased, the levels also increased in the power gap. It became increasingly difficult to achieve a breakthrough in the latter stages.

At this time, Army Commander Randal and Royal Advisor Hendrickson arrived at the commotion.

From the time they felt the Law Seed Stage undulations in the roof of the Royal Castle, they quickly left their posts to find the Empress and when they found her, they were shocked!

Nevertheless, they were up to date with the situation as they had listened with their Soul Sense.

"Insolent!" Hendrickson shouted as he flew towards Jonas.

Just before he could near him, Clara lifted up her hand to the side, gesturing for them to not speak.

'This...' Hendrickson and Randal were both stumped, even speechless.

They were supposed to protect the Empress from harm and even gave their word to the Emperor who had left to the First Layer.

If they can't berate the other party, how were they supposed to get justice for the Empress?

With battle?

With their meager strength that didn't reach the Fifth Stage but was just a thin line away from breaking through, punishing Jonas with their own strength became quite impossible.

"This is only a friendly duel." Clara's lips moved as she flew to the skies, her attitude not bothering about the worried gazes of the others.

She flew higher than Jonas prompting him to follow her to the skies. Their figures flew as they whooshed through the skies!
