The whispers and the stares disappear after we pass through the Teleportation Gate. We appear in the backyard of my office, the previous castle of the conquered Antares Kingdom, where the Teleportation Gate is built.
Holding Valeria's hand, I guide her into the office building. The guards notice us immediately and bow to us politely. It seems the exaggerated story has reached the ears of the Antares people. I can hear the guards making faint remarks about how I kick God's butt back into his realm. I wonder who made that story.
Nodding to acknowledge their greetings, I enter the building with Valeria. The maids who are busily running around in the building instantly halt their steps. They turn to Valeria and me and bow to us. None of them talks anything about what I did in the recent war, which is refreshing. I prefer them over the guards.
"This is our great madame."
"Yes, she is the Goddess in the lead. She is the head of Lord Layland's harem!"
