“At her side, is the Celestial Maiden who known in legends as the one of the mightiest representative of famous Chaos Strikers, the legendary Celestial Maiden “Sword General” Inoue Yamato! Everyone! A round of applause for their grand entrance!”

The hymn of trumpets and musical instrument booms in the whole grand hall, as a two majestic ladies made their entrance to the grand hall, Yinhua’s beauty is shockingly amazing and standing out in the eyes of the crowd, as a beautiful regalia floating in her back, she is like a goddess who entered the grounds of mortals, as she reveal her out of the league serene and calming yet alluring and charming presence, she just walking casually and still have an appearance of happy go lucky attitude.

As for Inoue as she follow Yinhua, she has a very majestic and cool beauty beyond compare, not to tell that her dress suits her well, she giving a cold yet charming appearance to everyone, both the two garner the eyes of everyone as some gentlemen cannot help to gulp their drinks and saliva in amazement, although Yinhua walks casually and leisurely, Inoue walks arrogantly and proud, looking down to every people she sees, sooner after their entrance it was a clear silence once again.

Everyone was truly shocked, from the lowest rank of nobility to the honored guest, up to Prince Mark and Aqua, both of them could not believe in what they witness, Sakura, just what kind of monster woman she is in order to subdue a renowned legend like the Celestial Maiden “Sword General” Inoue Yamato, a fierce and tigress of battlefield, even in the past generations, she even massacre many enemies who dare to stand in her way or in the way of the Chaos Strikers, she even kill a group of Celestial Maidens in the past from the beginning of their fall when they ganged her and ambush her, but futile and all of them was sliced and diced to pieces.

Aqua still remembers the day she was stabbed and pierced by Inoue in the past, and it is still haunting her even in times her memories erased after the event of the grand Sky palace Tournament, cold sweat flowing from her head, she felt shivers whenever Inoue pass her sight on her and give a deadly yet warning smile, fighting her? No way, she just only asking death and she need to run away from her, even she have the great support of Prince Mark and huge backing of Orga Kingdom, but in contrast to confront Inoue and defeat her is mere a pipe dream that can never be brought to reality, their comparison in standing is like a simple grass plains versus tallest mountains, it was a huge gap of power.

Even Prince Mark and the rest can’t help on being envious for Yinhua’s achievements, they know that they can’t fight the Duke Christopher and not even his match or worthy opponents, let alone Yinhua, maybe they are already dead by her even the battle starts, they felt uneasiness in their hearts, why the good things keep coming to this enigmatic lady and not to them who is known and famous in every people in their country?

Yinhua vows with elegance and grace as she smile for a greet to Princess Erina, as for Inoue she still standing, ignore the presence of King Charles and Princess Erina as if they were nothing to her, because it was Inoue’s habit not to bowed or even listen to anyone, except her contracted master, she shown proud and unyielding attitude towards to everybody.

“You’re Highness and Your Majesty, I, Sakura, is back, paying respect and greetings for this grand occasion, at your service!” Yinhua said as she lift her head shown a mischievous smile.
