Chapter 17 - Angela (2)

"You! Be my husband!"

"Huh?!?"

Everyone turned their heads toward the crazy woman.

Laura stood up from her chair and spread her arms out blocking Kane behind her.

"No! Angela, he's my husband!"

"No biggie, I'm willing to share~"

She has a wicked smile on her face, while Laura was flustered.

"Excuse me, but I don't think you know him well enough to be your husband. Matter of fact you know nothing about him at all. So, how are you exactly in love with him?"

"Yeah yeah! You just met him and you want to marry him? That's absurd!"

'I met him first! Wait what am I thinking?!?'

Angelica was thinking to herself until.

"Okay enough! Angela, please have a seat. Laura sit down and behave yourself."

Laura reluctantly returned to her seat, but her arms are ready to defend Kane.

"Fufu, it seems our little princess found herself a mate~"

Laura's face went red again and she said.

"Yes, and I love him."

Her face went even redder. Kane looked at her with a warm gaze and said to Angela.

"Mrs. Angela right?"

"Just Angela is fine."

"Alright, Angela, although I'm very flattered to hear you say that, I don't know you at all, and you're already jumping bases. Matter of fact you didn't even know my name and you wanted me to be your husband on the spot."

"Ehh~ although, it's true I didn't know your name however I did know a bit about your future. After glimpsing it for a bit I found myself infatuated with your character. Would that be enough for you to acknowledge me~?"

Kane was speechless, 'She just saw my future? Is she an oracle?'

"Well Kane, although it may seem like I would just throw myself into any handsome man, I'm still a virgin myself~"

"Yeah, 'cause every guy you dated either got cursed or killed themself…"

The king muttered to himself.

"What was that?"

Angela released a bit of her aura. A dark purple haze radiated from her body. Her eyes turned a glint of gold and she stared at Richard.

Cold sweat started to form on his forehead.

"It seems that this king has quite a big mouth and his incompetence might be shown to everyone.

Richard's back was drenched in sweat.

"Don't forget Richard, you may be stronger than me, but I was the one who made your kingdom the way it is today."

"It was a joke! Joke! I was kidding. All those men you dated were chumps anyways."

"Hmph."

The purple haze she emitted disappeared and her eyes went back to normal.

'Wow, her control over her aura was so good I didn't even feel it. It must have been strong considering that Richard looked like he pretty much took a bath.'

Angela sat next to Laura and said.

"I see that there isn't any miasma around you anymore. It seems the curse truly had been lifted."

"Yay!"

"Don't get too excited. Although it may be gone, there might be some lingering side effects left over. I might have to do some more tests and have you in the temple."

"Do I have to? Although it may seem like it, I just have this certain feeling that the curse is gone. It's as if I have gotten much stronger and someone's protecting me."

Angela looked at Laura for a second and said.

"Laura what you say has nothing that can support it. You might think you're fine now, but what happens when you are affected by something? What if you got hit by a minor curse but it becomes amplified due to your previous one?"

Laura looked at the plate in front of her and reluctantly agreed.

"Fine…"

Kane looked at Laura and held her hand again. He gave her a warm smile and caressed it gently.

"Laura, don't be impatient. As I said I'm not going anywhere."

Laura was being hasty because she wanted to be dubbed as the first wife. Considering that there's a potential of 2 more women joining his harem she was afraid time with him will decrease. She looked at Kane relieved and nodded her head.

"Un. Thank you."

Angela was watching them interact and said.

"Interesting~ I've never seen this side of you, Laura. You're always so stoic when I come around. Usually, your face is more of a general of war than a young girl."

"Well, it's because it's the first time in a while that I'm truly happy. And I also found someone I can love."

She said that with a red, but proud look on her face.

Richard was listening and he couldn't help but smile.

'I'm glad that she's finally happy again. Watching her grow up like that pained me too much.'

Richard looked at Kane and thought, 'Thanks Kane, thank you for not only meeting my daughter but saving her as well.'

"Fufu, it seems little Laury is back~"

"Don't call me that!"

As usual, her face beat red, and her ears were flaring like horns.

"Fufu, it's always fun teasing you~"

Angela looked at Kane this time and said.

"Kane be careful of trumans. They might be your people but be warned, some aren't as rational as you think."

Kane was baffled. He didn't expect her to find out about his identity.

"Wait how did you know?"

"Simple really, although that glimpse helped, what truly gave it away was you. Your very existence."

"What does that got to do with anything?"

"Well, first of all, a human came out of nowhere in a secluded area of the Alfheim kingdom, cured the princess, and has unique abilities. Doesn't that scream 'otherworldy'?"

Kane was shocked but quickly recollected himself.

'She found out just from this meeting alone? Not only that, but how much of that glimpse in the future did she see?'

"Yes, that's right I am from another world."

Kane looked at Richard expecting him to be surprised, but he wasn't.

"Yes, I already knew. I told you, my eyes are a bit special."

Angela observed him even more, but then she turned to her side and saw a familiar woman sitting in front of her.

"Evangeline? Is that you?"

"Huh?"

Angelica was in a daze, she was eating her food while her mind was in turmoil.

'God, why am I like this? Why is my heart beating every time I look at him? There's definitely no way that I like him. But he is very handsome… he is also my type, and he's also pretty cool~ Wait no! He dragged me into this I should be mad at him!'

"Evangeline!"

"Huh?"

"Evangeline! Is that really you?!?"

Angela was standing up and she was practically yelling at Angelica.

"Angela?!? What are you doing here?"

Kane was confused and relieved at the same time.

'Good, now Angelica has someone to talk with, and maybe help her fix the issue we have.'

"Evangeline it really is you! What in the world are you doing here!"

"It's not my fault! I was dragged here against my will because of that guy!"

She pointed her hand toward Kane and everyone looked at him.

'Wait how am I the bad guy? Actually technically I guess I am.'

"Okay, I suppose it was my fault, but it also isn't. Long story short, I have the ability to make people my servants, and accidentally made Angelica my servant."

He has a guilty expression on his face, and it was everyone's turn to be surprised.

'How can this young man make a literal goddess a servant?! Is it something to do with that entity?'

'So she's just his servant. But that might lead to them getting closer!'

Laura's face turned red.

'Not only did he cure me of this curse, but entangled a goddess? Kane Vond, I'm excited to see what you're capable of.' Scarlett looked at Kane curiously.

'Evangeline turned into his servant?!?'

"Wait, Kane let me get this straight. You somehow turned Evangeline into your servant?"

"Yes, that's correct."

"Unbelievable."

"By chance are you a god?"

"I don't know. All I know is that I'm mostly human."

"Looks like I also need to test you. Alright finish up your meal, and let's head to my lab. Evangeline, I'll talk with you later."

Angela stood up and walked toward the doors.

She paused and said,

"Oh don't worry I'm not going to do anything too serious. I'm just gonna cut you open and look at your organs~."

Kane stared at her seriously, and she said.

"It's a joke. It's not like I can even do anything to you anyway. Alright finish up breakfast, I'll go right on ahead."

'I hope she really is kidding, whatever, I'm also pretty curious about what kind of body I have.'

"Laura, I'll see you there. I'ma go with her."

Laura looked a little worried but agreed in the end.

"Un, okay."

"Great, I'll see you there then. I'll make sure I'll still be alive."

'Does Angela know what happened to my temple? I hope it's fine..."
