"She, she is actually going to seek an audience with Nous..." Even Lady Sparkle, fearless as she was, was somewhat speechless upon seeing the scene before her. Even Ruan Mei, whom she had found rather irritating just a moment ago, suddenly looked much more agreeable.
She had no choice in the matter. Had Ruan Mei not stopped her just then, the sheer energy storm generated by that audience with Nous would have dealt her massive injuries. That in and of itself wasn't a huge deal, but if she had truly disrupted Herta's audience, she would likely have been dealt with by Herta in the very next instant. Even if Herta had been injured from a failed audience, that well-known best friend of Herta's standing right beside her would have seen her off.
Herta was paying no attention to Ruan Mei and Sparkle over here. She had noticed the anomaly of Sparkle's puppet long ago. Although she genuinely couldn't sense the so-called breath of life Ruan Mei had spoken of, over all these days, even someone like Sparkle couldn't completely guarantee she could maintain the puppet state without interruption; there had to be moments in the dead of night when she briefly resumed human form to move about for a bit.
