Chapter 160 – With the Ancestors (6)
“Peta Lucius.”
Ahildern Salina’s solemn voice echoed inside the audience room. The guards were wearing white armor and staring at me with deadly stars. Eve narrowed her eyes as if to strike back at her, then clicked her tongue again and lowered her head.
Ahildern Salina was a beauty who looked just like Erina. In terms of games, she could be said to be the SSR version of SR Erina, and she could be said to be another version of Erina, showing off her unconventional charm her with the maturity and arrogance of a married woman. She was looking down at us, brushing her green hair back.
Upon arriving in the capital, without even having time to unpack her luggage her, to us who were ushered into the audience room, Ah Hildern Sally, I seemed to have a lot to say. Her hand her holding her cane was trembling, and her words her about killing people with just her eyes her were on fire. She looked back and forth between me and her Eve for a long while before calling out to the guardsmen.
“Guardian soldiers, leave your seat for a while.”
“But, Queen, that order is…”
“Don’t you tell me to empty it right away!”
At Salina’s bad command, the guards slipped away like the ebb tide. Just the way they looked at me seemed to tell me how much I was aware of in the elven kingdom. As soon as the disappeared soldiers, Ahildern Salina sighed and said,
“Peta. Lucius.”
“Yes. Queen.”
“There’s an interesting rumor going around about my daughter, Princess Erina of Ahildern. There’s a very serious scandal going around between them.”
“That…”
There was no point in catching him here. Sex like you did with the elven guards earlier? Are you talking about sex? We couldn’t even pull it together. I lowered my head. Said Salina.
“Yes, I won’t bother asking what happened between the two of you. The problem you’ve come to today isn’t because of these ‘trivial’ and ‘low’ scandals.”
Salina’s comments that she were clearly sarcastic. I bowed my head and spoke again.
“I have no face. Because so many incidents overlapped, I couldn’t pay attention to the scandal with Princess Erina.”
“As the eldest son of the Peta family, I thought you would send me some kind of excuse about the shameful incident that happened at the palace with a sense of responsibility, but what you sent was an official letter from the palace asking for cooperation in catching ‘Evangeline’. Besides, what do you think I would have thought after receiving this?”
“Sorry.”
“If I’m sorry, is it over? Everyone in the world is talking about my lovely Erina! The princess of the elven kingdom says that she rolls her body recklessly, and that everyone from the clergy to the warriors is dragged into bed! “
“Sorry.”
I just had to apologize and see. Queen Sally Na was yelling at me with her neck full of blood vessels. Eve looked at Sally or the Queen as she moved her body around, as if her prone position her was awkward. Salina sighed and said.
“And to marry a mermaid, I don’t know anything about you.”
Sally I said that, pointing plainly at her Eve her. At those words, I could n’t help but look at her Eve, her. Although she flinched at the word ‘mermaid’, she didn’t seem too angry.
Sally I looked at her Eve, then she turned her gaze back to me. She said, scratching the floor with her cane.
“Yes. We know very well what kind of dungeon you are asking to enter.”
Sally I was angry, but she was the one who knew full well that she needed my strength for the common goal of defeating Evangeline. She let go of her anger and brought up the story of the dungeon. I was glad she didn’t coax her into coming up with her solution to this problem.
“Yes. To defeat Evangeline, I felt the need to become stronger than now…”
“The dungeon you are talking about is ‘Mimir’, our sanctuary.”
“Are you talking about Mimir?”
“Don’t you know what Mimir is? Wasn’t your ancestor Peta Canopus the caretaker of Mimir?”
“Ah, I knew. But it was so different from the image of the dungeon I was thinking of…”
I didn’t know who Peta Canopus was, but apparently Lucius was a very famous family in the elven kingdom for generations. I couldn’t help but wonder here. With such a well-to-do and famous family, why is Lucius a lord in the human realm? And why are you taking all of that for granted?
And, even so, why does Queen Salina think that I, as the Peta family, will naturally be friendly to the elven kingdom? What the hell happened to him in the past? In the first place, Sieri didn’t seem to have met Peta Sirius or knew much about my family. Why the hell did my father put me in a human monastery and educated me?
Salina looked at me curiously and continued.
“At the bottom of Mimir, there is a shrine that enshrines the spirits of our ancestors. There is a liquefaction device that pumps up the spirit of this forest and liquefies it. It will give you a liquid filled with the spirit of ‘. Perhaps the ‘dungeon’ in the elven kingdom you mentioned must be referring to Mimir’s strengthening device.”
I wondered what Mimir meant by personally handing down trials, but I couldn’t ask. It was because there was a manager of Mimir among my ancestors, so it seemed very awkward to ask such a question. I nodded roughly, looked up and said.
“So, are you giving me permission to go in there?”
“I personally would like to end this dirty scandal by killing you and burying you in Mimir, but things in the world are not so simple. For the cause of defeating Evangeline, I will especially forgive you and grant you permission to enter the depths of Mimir.” Made it.”
“Thank you, Queen. We will live up to your expectations.”
“Yes. Please do me a favor.”
Sally I said that with a frown on her face. And she asked, looking at her her Eve her.
“So, what did your wife, the mermaid…, Plan to do? Could you arrange a separate place to rest here while you are in Mimir?”
“Ah, actually I want to enter Mimir with my wife…”
Salina reacted sharply before I could finish my proposal. She shouted, pointing at me with her cane.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Are you bringing mermaids into our sanctuary? Did you intend to insult Ahildern itself by defiled my daughter?”
Eve clicked her tongue slightly at the words, but Sally didn’t lunge at me or curse at me. I felt grateful just for being patient with her. Sally I was so mad at my words that she was ready to eat me. Still, I decided to try to convince myself of this issue once again.
It was because there was no point in bringing Eve without doing so.
“…Still, in order to defeat Evangeline, Eve’s help is absolutely necessary. She is a very capable combatant and…”
“Before being a competent combatant, Mimir is our sanctuary! Even the word that you would put yourself, a half-blood, into the sanctuary of the elves caused a stir in the Senate. By the way, let’s put a mermaid? Who in the kingdom of the elves would accept that? ?Is that mermaid recognized as special like a warrior who received a mission?Is it even good?The crazy killer who raped dozens of people and killed sailors in the trading city of Esta is that mermaid?
Because she is your wife, that mermaid now breathes at my feet! Because you’re the eldest son of the Peta family, and you’re a great person with a track record of defeating the demon lord! I mean, overcoming all your misguided sexual desires and promiscuous scandals, I’m breathing right here! Peta Lucius! Don’t ever say in front of me that you’re going to bring a mermaid into the sanctuary again!”
Salina’s one-day speech was over. Eve was looking at her floor with a somber face. I caught my breath. Still, it shouldn’t be like this. I had to get something. I said to Salina.
“Then, I’d be grateful if you lend me a facility where I can do minimal training or training.”
At that, Sally I stopped her anger and let out a sigh. She looked at me with very sad eyes and said.
“I don’t know what the hell changed you like this. Peta Lucius. It’s good. I’ll allow that much.”
That’s how the audience ended. As the door to the audience room closed and returned, Eve continued to look depressed. I said while rubbing Eve’s back her.
“You’ve held up well.”
“…Of course. I’m someone’s wife.”
Eve forced a grin at that, but she looked depressed nonetheless. The soldiers passing by were surprised to see Eve’s feet her, looked at me again, and whispered past. Eve was limping and looking down at the floor. I lightly touched Eve’s shoulder and asked.
“Were you that depressed?”
“Can I be a good person too?”
Eve asked. I was taken back by the sudden question, but I nodded her head. I go around pretending to be a good person, but there was nothing Eve couldn’t do.
“Do you think I can be a good person after killing dozens of people? Really?”
“Because that’s the doctrine of the Great Heavenly Church.”
“Do you think it’s because the religion says so?”
“I believe in you too.”
I added Eve grinned again, as if she felt good about those words.
“Yes. That’s right. Do you really believe me?”
“Sure. You can be as good as I am.”
“That’s saying it can’t be.”
“Do you still love me?”
“I love you so much, you bastard.”
Eve hugged me tightly. In front of the hallway of the audience room, Eve and I hugged like that for a long time. The servants passing by were whispering, but he didn’t care. Hugs are allowed between husband and wife, but who is to say?
So we headed to the assigned room. The coachman said he would be given a separate room and that he would lead a decent and comfortable life until I returned. Eve said she was tired and went into the room first. After suffering from motion sickness, it seemed as if the tension was relieved and drowsiness poured out all at once. As soon as she entered the room, she fell right on the bed and fell asleep.
I gave her Eve a blanket over her and then came out of her room to get some fresh air. Outside the room, there were many people busily moving here and there. At the end of the hallway she remembered there was a balcony, so she walked towards it. A familiar silhouette from afar was approaching me.
“Lou, Lucius?”
It was Erina. She ran into me walking down the hallway with her mobile and rattle. I whistled involuntarily.
“Oh.”
