Chapter 109: The Plan for Athena
As long as Qin Chu still desired her, it would be easier to control him.
Although the thought of going on a date with Qin Chu made Loseweisse want to vomit, she knew that this was a good opportunity to get closer to him. Most importantly, if she didn’t agree, he might spread the word about what Karsus had done.
Damn it, she had to suffer this humiliation for that idiot Karsus.
Although the situation wasn’t stable, it was temporarily calmed down. Of course, if something unexpected happened and the matter was exposed, Loseweisse would immediately clear her name. It was all Karsus’s doing, and had nothing to do with her, the Saintess. She only concealed the matter because she didn’t want to cause a civil war among humans while they were surrounded by Demon Beasts.
Loseweisse ordered Karsus to dispose of the heads. Although Karsus was very unhappy with Qin Chu, he could only obey the order. After all, he had really caused a big problem this time.
Loseweisse also took the opportunity to inquire about Violet.
Qin Chu casually made up a lie, saying that Violet was just a warrior who cultivated alone, and because she had gone astray, she grew taller and taller. He concealed Violet’s identity as the Saintess of the Temple of Storms from a thousand years ago.
As for her being a ghost, the body Violet had simulated was even more advanced than Shaye’s and Anthea’s. It was a body condensed from pure elements, almost indistinguishable from a real person. As long as she didn’t directly face Qin Chu’s Holy Light’s eruption, almost no one could discover her true nature.
Loseweisse noticed that Qin Chu seemed to want to keep Violet by his side, which was definitely not good news for her. After all, Violet was very strong, able to easily suppress Karsus, which would seriously affect her plan.
Loseweisse pulled Qin Chu aside and lowered her voice, “Hero, are you really going to keep Miss Violet by your side? She’s of unknown origin. What if… I mean, what if she’s actually a Witch or something…”
“Sorry, I’m not trying to stir up trouble. I just think it’s a huge threat to your safety, Hero.”
“I’m just worried about your safety. If you get hurt, I’ll be very sad.”
Loseweisse widened her watery eyes and said, “If you’re worried about your safety, Loseweisse is willing to stay by your side and protect you…”
Qin Chu answered truthfully, “But, I feel that compared to Violet, Mr. Karsus, as a member of the Hero Squad, is more dangerous.”
Loseweisse was speechless for a moment. First, it was Ekaterina, and now it was Karsus… The Hero’s impression of the former Hero Squad members was getting worse and worse.
They were all idiots, and she was the only one here working hard to clean up their messes. Damn it.
“Miss Loseweisse, I’m not deliberately trying to disrespect you… I promised you that I would never tell anyone what Karsus did. But I absolutely can’t cooperate with Mr. Karsus to fight Demon Beasts.”
“After returning to the Imperial City, I will ask Augustus, Saint Monique, and Wadsworth to strip Karsus of his identity as a member of the Hero Squad.”
“I’m very sorry, beautiful Saintess, but being teammates with him really makes me feel very unsafe.”
Loseweisse wasn’t angry at all. In fact, she even felt that this was the most normal reaction. She would do the same. If Qin Chu readily accepted Karsus, she would even suspect that he was plotting something.
She felt even more of a headache. She had to find a way to repair Karsus’s image in the Hero’s mind.
But Ekaterina could use her body to make up for it, what could Karsus use? His body? She didn’t think Qin Chu would be interested in that.
After Karsus cleaned up all the heads, he carried Benson’s body, and the group embarked on their journey back.
The atmosphere was oppressive. As a spy planted by the Hero Squad, Ekaterina had to stay by Qin Chu’s side and show appropriate dissatisfaction with Karsus.
Therefore, Loseweisse didn’t doubt or blame Ekaterina’s actions at all. She even felt that Ekaterina was doing a good job.
Qin Chu and Violet never interacted with Karsus.
Where Loseweisse couldn’t see, Shaye and Anthea were constantly gesturing about the best place to strike when they killed this idiot… This made the Death Knight often feel a chill on the back of his neck, making him a little nervous.
Karsus himself was a man of few words, unable to utter a single sentence for a long time.
Loseweisse could only walk back and forth between the two sides, trying to liven up the atmosphere and prevent things from becoming too awkward. Even though there was no fighting, Loseweisse felt more exhausted than fighting a hundred thousand Demon Beasts.
On the second day of their journey back, they encountered Natia, who had rushed over after wiping out the Minotaur army. When she saw that Qin Chu was safe and sound, Natia breathed a sigh of relief. She expressed deep regret for Benson’s death. He was an excellent warrior.
It was already night five days later when they returned to the Auville Imperial Capital.
The Hero, the Saintess, the members of the Hero Squad, and the Grand Mage, naturally no one dared to question them as they entered the Imperial City. Even Violet easily blended into the city.
Upon reaching the noble district, Loseweisse stopped. She crossed her hands gracefully before her chest, “May the Holy Light protect you…”
“Hero, please don’t forget our agreement. I’ll arrange the date carefully.” Loseweisse winked at Qin Chu, then left with Karsus, carrying Benson’s body.
“Hero, I’ll be leaving too,” Natia also bid farewell, “I need to find my friend and learn about some things.”
She had to go find Louisa and discuss things further. Her mind was in turmoil. Although there was another tall Violet by Qin Chu’s side, she didn’t feel jealous at all.
Even now, she still couldn’t figure out her feelings for Qin Chu, whether she had truly fallen in love with this man.
Everyone had left, leaving only Ekaterina and Violet by Qin Chu’s side, as well as Shaye and Anthea, who had long been nestled in his body.
The two ghosts had shrunk their soul bodies a bit. Anthea preferred Qin Chu’s stomach, while Shaye preferred his chest. To be honest, looking down and seeing two people stuffed inside his body was a bit terrifying.
Glancing at the backs of Loseweisse and Karsus, the corners of Qin Chu’s lips curled up.
He had prepared a grand feast. The scene that had once played out on him would be reenacted on Karsus! Of course, before that, he could deal with that woman Athena first.
“Well then, Ekaterina, and Miss Violet, let’s go home…” Qin Chu took out a top hat from his storage ring and put it on.
Walking in the noble district, he had to have the demeanor of a high-society person.
A slender and cute girl, seemingly thinner than before, dressed in a red and white maid outfit, was waiting quietly at the entrance of the residence.
Her small body was curled up at the entrance, sitting on the stone slab beside the threshold. Her fair arms were wrapped around her knees, her white face pressed against them. One could clearly see the exhaustion and fatigue on her face, and also… the worry that still tormented her even in her sleep.
It was Angelica.
Ever since Qin Chu left, Angelica had been waiting at the door every day, hoping that her master would suddenly appear before her.
She had only contacted her master once using Information Magic, because she was worried that Athena would eavesdrop. Even though she missed him terribly, she didn’t dare to contact him again, only enduring the torment in her heart and looking forward to his return.
But Angelica would also get tired. When she was exhausted, she would curl up in a corner and rest for a while, and after waking up, she would continue to wait. She hoped to see her master the moment he returned. Of course, even so, Angelica didn’t forget the task Qin Chu had given her. During this time, she had gathered a lot of important information and wanted to tell her master.
Angelica’s actions were met with scorn by the guards at the door. They didn’t think it was her true feelings. This scheming woman just wanted to use this method to improve her image in the Hero’s heart.
Perhaps this lowly maid was even plotting to become the official wife.
What a greedy woman.
The guards saluted Qin Chu. He only nodded slightly in acknowledgment, his gaze falling on Angelica’s small figure, a faint gentleness on his face.
That gentleness made Ekaterina jealous.
Her master had never looked at her like that. Although he was also gentle to her, she could feel that it was different.
Qin Chu didn’t wake Angelica up. He just walked over and picked up the curled-up girl from the ground. This intimate gesture made even Violet see that this little maid held a very important place in Qin Chu’s heart.
Her slender body was so light.
Qin Chu deliberately slowed down, afraid of waking Angelica up. The girl seemed very tired and needed a good rest.
But Angelica was very sensitive. Her small ears twitched slightly, and she opened her eyes in a daze. The face she had been longing for was right in front of her.
Although she had wished countless times in her heart that her master would come back soon, when he actually returned, Angelica was stunned. She looked at him with disbelief and surprise, momentarily unsure how to react.
“Why don’t you rest a little longer?” Qin Chu lowered his head and asked softly.
A few seconds later, Angelica seemed to finally understand what was happening. She cheered and suddenly wrapped her soft, white arms around Qin Chu’s neck, her body changing from its curled-up position in his arms to hanging on him like a koala.
Her arms were so tight, as if she was afraid that Qin Chu would disappear from her sight if she wasn’t careful.
“Master, you’re finally back…” Angelica’s voice sounded as if a large stone had finally been lifted from her heart.
Those guards were wrong. Angelica was indeed very worried about Qin Chu, but she was only purely worried about his safety, hoping that he would return safe and sound. She had never considered what might happen to herself.
“Yes, I’m back.”
Nothing could make Angelica feel more secure than these words…
Angelica remembered the task her master had given her before he left. Just as she was about to report the situation to him, she suddenly frowned and glanced to the side.
It was obvious that there were also Eyes of True Sight left by Athena in the courtyard. Angelica couldn’t speak freely.
Qin Chu naturally understood what Angelica was concerned about. He didn’t destroy those Eyes of True Sight, but only winked at Angelica, “By the way, Ange, can you prepare a… well, a slightly more spacious room for Miss Violet?”
“There might be one more person in the residence.”
Angelica realized that there were other people present and was immediately embarrassed. Her face turned red, and she squirmed in Qin Chu’s arms and jumped down. Then, she looked at Violet’s… abdomen… and her gaze gradually moved upwards…
So… so… so big… No, so white… No, so… tall!
She had to raise her head to see Violet’s face. She was really a beautiful woman.
Master went out for a trip and brought back another beautiful woman… Angelica muttered in her heart.
But Angelica knew her duty. A bright smile immediately bloomed on her face, “A more spacious room? Ah, I have an idea. Miss Violet, please come with me.”
Angelica led Violet away. The Storm Witch felt a little reluctant, after all, being by Qin Chu’s side, who had the Seed of Light, was the most comfortable for her. But Violet had received a good upbringing, and she wouldn’t be too stubborn about this issue. She also didn’t care about the Eyes of True Sight at all, which Qin Chu had warned her about before.
Although Angelica was just a maid, Violet could sense that she was valued by Qin Chu more than Anthea and Ekaterina. She wouldn’t look down on her because of her status. Violet nodded gently, “Thank you for your trouble.”
Ekaterina also left temporarily. She needed to take a bath and change her clothes.
Qin Chu, Shaye, and Anthea returned to the bedroom.
Shaye walked around the bedroom, pursing her lips in disdain, “There are two Eyes of True Sight in the courtyard, one in the corridor, one on the stairs, and three in your room…”
“That Athena really values you.”
I’d rather she didn’t value me so much… Qin Chu complained in his heart.
Qin Chu suddenly remembered something important. There were Eyes of True Sight in the bedroom, which meant that in the first playthrough, he had been seen by Athena?
God, what a loss. He had to find an opportunity to get back at her.
The only fortunate thing was that there were no Eyes of True Sight in the bathroom. After taking a bath and wrapping himself in a towel, Qin Chu took out a book from his storage ring. It was Loseweisse’s diary, the Athena chapter.
It detailed the things Loseweisse had peeped at between Jie Luo and Athena, mostly when they were alone. Although he had already memorized this diary by heart.
Someone knocked on the door.
It wasn’t Angelica who came in, but Ekaterina, who had also just finished bathing.
Ekaterina, after her bath, had finally let down her single ponytail. Water droplets still clung to the ends of her hair, her fair cheeks looking even more delicate. She was only wearing a sexy nightgown, like a rose blooming quietly in the night.
The light gauze nightgown couldn’t hide her curvy figure, her athletic and toned body, her delicate skin even more alluring in the glimpses it revealed. She was no longer the valiant warrior she usually was, but exuded a feminine charm.
Qin Chu’s eyes narrowed, and the corners of his lips curled up.
He would put on a good show for Athena!
In this play, he would play the role of… Jie Luo!
And the supporting role was Ekaterina!
…
On the other side, at the Holy See.
Two figures appeared in the Saintess’s boudoir under the cover of night.
One was Loseweisse, who had just returned home, and the other was Athena.
Benson’s body had been sent to the church and would be laid to rest in a grand funeral. Loseweisse planned to make up a touching and tragic story, praising how Benson had fought bravely against the Demon Beasts to save civilians, persisting until the last moment under the siege of enemies a hundred times his number.
After all, Benson was dead.
It was the easiest to enhance the reputation of a dead person. This way, Benson could still shine even after his death, and incidentally increase the prestige of the other members of the Hero Squad, squeezing out the last bit of his value.
However, Loseweisse didn’t expect to encounter Athena after returning.
Actually, Athena had already noticed when Loseweisse and the others returned to the Imperial City, but she didn’t appear immediately. She had some things to confirm with Loseweisse.
Loseweisse was also quite happy about Athena’s appearance. She was really fed up with those stupid teammates. With a smart woman like Athena here, the pressure on her could be greatly reduced.
One was petite and slender, the other voluptuous and curvy. They hugged each other passionately, and the scene had a strange beauty to it.
Speaking of Benson’s death, a hint of sadness appeared on Athena’s face.
Loseweisse also knew that Athena must have something very important to tell her, since she had come to her room in the middle of the night:
“Sister Athena, I know you’re sad, but we don’t have time to grieve. There are more important things for us to do.”
Athena nodded slightly, “I know, everything is for Jie Luo.”
Athena carefully chose her words, “Loseweisse, I haven’t met the Second Hero yet, and my understanding of him is only from what others say…”
Her vision was still layered, monitoring the Second Hero Qin Chu in the residence. In order to monitor this man more accurately, Athena temporarily cut off the connection with other Eyes of True Sight, leaving only the image of Qin Chu’s bedroom in her sight.
“My understanding may be a bit one-sided, but I feel that there might be something wrong with this Hero. Could it be that Ekaterina has already been controlled by him… Huh?”
At this moment, Athena suddenly exclaimed. Through the Eye of True Sight, she was surprised to find that Ekaterina, who had just finished bathing, suddenly walked into Qin Chu’s room.
Ekaterina looked even more sexy and charming at this moment, even Athena’s heartbeat skipped a beat.
What was Ekaterina doing in Qin Chu’s room at this time?
Oh, my God.
They actually hugged each other, touching each other’s bodies. What a shameful act!
They… they actually started to…
