235 Chapter 235
Holy hymns started to ring throughout the church along with the loud sound of the ringing of bells.
Goddess Rebecca muttered something and Alex wasn’t able to hear it even if he tried.
‘Is she playing a trick with me?’Alex started to feel an ominous feeling as if something bad was going to happen to him.
“Your work is done? Now don’t give me more headaches” Goddess Rebecca grumbled.
Alex nodded and started to walk away.
“Take Care of yourselves.”
Alex heard Goddess Rebecca’s words and smiled a little before departing.
Alex opened the door and surprisingly he found Ophelia standing outside.
“Sister Ophelia, what are you doing here?”
“I am guarding the place.” She answered.
Alex didn’t ponder and walked away.
Ophelia who was about to leave suddenly started to see a beautiful smile on Goddess Rebecca’s statue.
She blinked a few times and rubbed her eyes and watched again to see nothing unusual.
‘I might be hallucinating.’Ophelia calmed herself.
She had only heard Goddess Rebecca’s voice only once and knew that there was no way a statue could smile as this was only a means of communication and one needed to have the merit to talk to her.
Alex after having a pleasant talk with Goddess Rebecca walked out of the room with a hint of satisfaction.
With this, he gained another card that can protect him. With church protection, one had to think a hundred times before making a move on him.
Moreover, he was curious and wondered what role would be given to him.
But that didn’t mean, he was out of trouble as the world was filled with a lot of shitheads.
As Alex walked into the hall, he saw many priests and nuns appearing before him and bowing their heads before him.
“This…”
“King Alex”
A man with a white beard walked toward him followed by Athena behind.
Alex remembered this man, he was sort of Athena’s guardian.
Alex leaned his head forward and greeted him.
Archbishop Mick smiled and said”Congratulations on getting the title of Holy Son.”
Alex’s brows furrowed and his expression turned ugly for a moment but his expression returned to normal quickly.
Athena tried to hold back her laughter as she guessed Alex thought.
While the Saintess and Pope deal with the religious works, the Holy son is the one who commands the paladins and in a way represents the military power of the Church.
He along with the inquisitor deals with the heretics and other troubles.
While the members of the Church spend their time teaching and praying, the Holy son deals with all sorts of problems and fights in the name of the Church.
In layman’s terms, they were nothing but Church slaves or lap dogs.
Alex was sure that Goddess Rebecca was taking revenge on him.
‘So, this is why I wasn’t able to hear the declaration. She knew that if I had listened to it, I would have broken her statute.’
“Thanks, Archbishop!” Alex greeted him with a smile.
“But I think this is too much for me and I am not suitable for this kind of job.”
“You should take your time to think about this. Even if you don’t become the Holy Son, you are treated as one after all this was decided by Goddess. We don’t have anything in our hands.” Archbishop Mick spoke.
Alex sighed and resigned it to fate.
“I wish you a happy journey, King Alex.”
“May you rise and soar the sky while bringing prosperity to others.”The Archbishop raised his hand to reach out for Alex.
Holding his hands tightly, he stared at Alex with a solemn expression.
“Athena is a bit stubborn and headstrong. She may be a bit difficult to handle but she is kind and good at heart.”
“Just because she is an orphan don’t think that she had no one to rely on. She left the Church and threatened us not to look for her otherwise we wouldn’t have left her in this condition when she can’t even see.”
“She is like my own daughter whom I along with others raised with our hand so, please take good care of her.”Archbishop Mick gave an amicable smile but Alex felt the smile was quite threatening.
Instead of boasting about his capabilities, Alex just simply nodded his head.
After meeting with others, Alex and Athena departed from the Church.
Alex was still thinking about Bishop’s words. Men had a hard time. First, it was the five Goddesses and now the Archbishop. The Cardinal of the Church is also his brother and he also treats Athena like his daughter.
Even his sister was not on his side and was threatening him to treat his wives kindly.
When would the day come, when the wives would be asked to take care of their husband?
Why do we all husbands have to be threatened like this? It’s not like all men are scum.
Sniff…Sniff…
‘No one is on my side?’
“You still have me. I am always on your side and will take good care of you.”
Alex’s expression stiffened and he stared at Athena with a dazed expression.
“Athena, do you have mind reading power or telepathy? Don’t lie that you can read my expression.”
Athena burst into laughter on hearing Alex’s words.
“It’s just that your emotions are not complicated and you are not masking your inner thoughts properly.” Athena smiled which looked quite charming.
“Alex, you have a bad habit of putting down your guard when you are with your wives,” Athena spoke.
“You are completely relaxed in the company of your wives. Your status is quite different Alex, you need to be alert all the time. Don’t lose your focus in the Capital. It is a place filled with rottenness and filth.”
Athena’s words pulled Alex into deep thoughts.
It wasn’t entirely wrong. He tends to lower his guard down in the presence of his wives.
It might be a habit developed by staying with Goddess.
The Goddess of Wealth and Wisdom were a strict teacher whereas the Goddess of Lust was more of an elder sister.
Goddess Rebecca was a good mother who loved his son and became a demoness when angry while the Queen Goddess was a mother who is blind to his child’s actions and loved her son unconditionally and about the Goddess of War, it’s better not to talk about her.
Alex had developed a sense of serenity and security by staying with them and their company calms him and as their daughter had inherited their personality, Alex felt as if he was in the Goddess’s company in itself.
“Hmm! I got it. I will be careful.”
“How do you plan to meet Yvonne?” Athena asked.
“She is going to be a headache.” Alex massages his forehead.
“Yvonne is a prideful woman. Though she pretends not to care, she worries about us. Don’t be harsh on her.” Athena advised.
“I have thought of a special way to meet her.”
“What special way?” Athena raised her brows.
“As a business partner.” Alex smiled.
“Hehehee!So you are showing your true colours now.” Athena giggled.
Alex’s lips twitched and she stared at her with a questioning gaze.
“You can’t fool me, Alex. You may look like an innocent kind boy, but underneath the mask lies a vicious beast.”
“This is slander. You are defaming me. I will punish you.”
“I look forward to Little Alex.”
“I am not little in any sense. You can check.” Alex grinned.
“When the time comes, I will personally test your worth and see whether you are little or have grown up finely,” Athena whispered into Alex’s ears with a seductive smile.
…
On the top floor of the library.
It was a place which was filled with books and articles but that was just a part of it.
Although it was a place filled with knowledge and one of the big libraries of Zenith, on the top floor of the library, many figures wearing black dresses sat across a huge round table.
“Are you sure it’s her?”
“Yes, I am 100 percent sure. The ring glowed and sent the signal.”
“She had already disappeared for years. We don’t even know whether she is alive or dead. If she doesn’t appear, we are just wasting our time. You will take the responsibility for wasting my precious time Han”
“Hmmph!” The man cast a disdainful look at Han.
All the other people started to chat about it but at that time a shadow flashed and the chair that had remained empty for a year was suddenly equipped.
Everyone looked at the person who appeared.
A person in black assassin cloth and a mask covers the upper half of the face.
“It’s the Queen mask.”
“My Queen!”
“Queen of Shadows!”
“My Goddess, you are back.”
Everyone got up from their seats quickly with an elated expression and bowed their heads.
“It’s been a long time, isn’t it, member of League Of Shadows.”
