After the annhiliation of the goblins, the priority of everyone then turned to the injured.
Especially for the Amber tower master who is currently being taken care of by the God of Magic himself.
After using
".....?"
Magicians who were guarding the room from the outside felt an intense mana wave from above.
[The God of Magic is enraged]
As he tended to his favorite human, the God of Magic felt the connection between him and the two tower master who went to the enermy's encampment disappear.
This indicated that the two died.
To lose two talented magicians after seeing his favorite one to be in such a state, the God of Magic became furious but focused on healing Fiero.
...
Eleventh day of September news about what happened in the Magic Kingdom have spread through out the world.
The land that was the source of their crops, the eastern flatlands known for its plentiful harvest every year, was trampled by the goblins and is assumed to take a long time for them to recover from the terrain damages alone.
What shook the world was the death of two tower masters who are known to be overly cautious before taking action.
Due to this, many were wondering how Wolten who only has a few grand magician level siren were able to fend off from the disaster they went through.
Opinion of the masses mixed and became exaggerated every time they voice out their thoughts which cause to make them lose faith to the Magic Kingdom.
"Your grace"
"Yes, what is it Javier?"
"The envoy from the Western Beast Federation has arrived"
"Finally. I was bored waiting for them"
Minutes later, the queen of the Western Beast Federation and prince Aster Stein Belmont entered Mel's bedchamber.
The two knelt down to show respect as they said,
"I, Chloe Lam Belmont, queen of the Western Beast Federation along with my son, pay respects to the Goddess of all Bitches. I hope that our presence here have not become a bother for you"
Seeing her attitude, I smiled in delight for now I can have a decent conversation with someone who won't piss me off.
"You may raise your head"
Chloe Lam Belmont raised her head as she took off her veil.
'Wow'
- She is very pretty, master.
Her ethereal and out of this world appearance is nothing compare to the Goddess of Water who is also known as the 'Embodioment of Beauty'.
Each body gesture showed elegance and her almost indifferent expression was complimented well by her soft smile.
The two contradictory characteristics somehow ended up magnifying her beauty even more!
".....!"
I quickly turned around and saw Elmenz with an almost bored expression.
- Master, did you just thought that he would have fallen in love with her?
'Well, the thought did pass my mind'
How can I help it when I suddenly lost my confidence in my looks.
- You're not going to do anything to her, right?
'Of course not! I am petty and vengeful but I won't stoop to that level!'
"Ahem... tell me, Chloe, why have you and your son come here?"
The queen of the Western Beast Federation took out a box and gave it to Aster.
Aster opened the box which showed a ring.
"If it is alright with you, your holiness, will you take my son in as your lover in exchange for helping us?"
"I know that you, the queen, possess the highest authority in your country and that you are fully capable of shutting anyone and do what you want with your analytical skills and problem solving skills which led to the advancement of the Western Beast Federation. Both poliitically and personally
But there are two things I want to know first before I give an answer: Why request me of such a thing and what are your son's thoughts regarding this matter?"
Mel's mood changed and looked straight to Chloe, waiting for an answer.
"... It is for the betterment of our country and I have heard that you, your holiness, is someone who enjoys being with beautiful men..."
-Well, that isn't entirely a lie.
'Shut it'
"Which is why although it hurts me as a mother, I am requesting you to accept my foolish son"
"And? Your son's thoughts about this matter?"
Aster raised his hand and said,
"It was my idea, your grace. I have talked things through with my family about this. While it will benefit my homeland, my main reason, selfish as it may sound, was to be with you"
"Why?"
"Because..." Aster's face became beet red, "I wanted to be with you!"
Aster gripped tightly onto his clothes as he forces the words that were stuck inside his chest to go out.
"After hearing that you took in the prince of Aelius, I thought whether it was possible for me to also come here"
After finally saying the things he wanted say for a long time, tears begun to drop from his eyes as he look up to the one he long for.
"Hahaha!"
As someone who possess the blood of a wolf, they will not chase after anyone else once they have fallen for someone.
Their desire to protect those they care about is one of the reason why they are the leader, the one who commands all over the animals, in the Western Beast Federation.
"You came all this way to say that? How cute"
I now see why the queen came here.
Since their son have already fallen for me, there is no use for them to change that as they, who are also a part of the wolf clan, understand the desire to be with the one you love the most.
And since they are going to send their son, a genius with a lots of use for their country, away to me they will need to get back something in return.
For that, someone who is knowledgable about political and economical matters must be the one to come here. And among all the possible choices, it would be the queen.
"I will tell you my answer later. For now, you both should rest. It is not good for pregnant women to be stressed too much"
".....? What do you mean by that, your holines?"
"Base on your pheromones, I can tell you are two weeks pregnant. Congratualations"
Hearing my words, Chloe could not help but tear up after hearing that she was pregnant with another child.
After releasing her tears of joy, she calmed down and went to their designated room.
...
Several hours later, just outside of the palace, the wind blew gently as the different flowers bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.
"Elmenz, do you not feel it unfair? That while I am sleeping with different men, I am not allowing you to do the same"
While Mel's head rested on top of Elmenz's lap, she asked with a bitter smile as she looks up to him.
Elmenz begun to stroke her hair gently. From the head to the ends of her hair.
"Your grace, if it is something you desire, then get it. If you desire to destroy something, destroy it. I will remain here, behind you, and support you to the best of my abilities"
With his other hand, he took Mel's right hand and placed it on his cheek.
He rubbed his face slowly as he maintain eye contact.
"I love you. I love you no matter what you do. Because that does not change who you are"
"....."
"And for me, it makes me the happiest man in the world to know that you, my love, have grace me with the honor of being with you"
"....."
"It makes my heart flutter when I see you smile. Whenever you let me hold you in bed, a sense of immorality for sleeping with the one I look up to surges into me that just makes me sink deeper into madness. Whenever I see you frustrated, I feel helpless for not being of help and somewhat happy to see another side of you. Aren't I weird, your grace?"
"No"
Mel slowly stood up.
"Your not weird at all. You are insane. We are insane"
The two kissed as their eyes glistened from the sunlight as the sun could went down.
"Love makes one insane. So it is completely normal"
Lovestruck, Elmenz smiled brightly.
"Then, I shall be the madman who will be beside you"
That day, the two fell in love with each other all over again.
