"My main focus is on the current Demon King. Who shall be my secondary focus?" Mara calmed herself after a few minutes.
"That is a good question. For now, Lilith." Iris replied.
As the conversation was coming to an end. Mara looked like a school girl getting punished. A lot of information was being said to her.
"I will try to remember it all." Mara replied.
"No need to try. Just know that these will become the Core of us. We will eventually come up in writing for all of the Core foundations." Liz said.
Mara was pleased to hear that.
"One more thing, you will and must have ONLY REX inside you." Violet spoke.
Mara took this as a mental and spiritual route. Violet was speaking in a physical manner.
As the crowd of women cut off communication, Lilith spoke up.
"How was meeting the others?"
"They all seem very lovely. It is my pleasure to protect the Demon King along with all of them."
Lilith genuinely smiled.
Mara had never seen such a beautiful smile before.
"Your smile is so beautiful."
Lilith giggled, "Only those truly close to me get to see this. If I hear about this, I know who spoke about it." She finished in seriousness.
Mara made sure to keep quiet.
Lilith wanted to test Mara. Granted most of her staff never get to see it, they have all heard of it because of Rex.
Mara got her clothes back on again.
"Make sure to visit Zeus. He was my former general, he now belongs to Rex. He will guide you around and help you train. I know it will burden your body but that is the best that I can do. Your training will start afterwards."
Mara did just that.
When she found Zeus, she felt that he was familiar.
"I am looking for Zeus."
Zeus turned towards her. His anger was evident but something told her to be joyful and jolly around him.
"I am Mara. I now belong to Rex has his Battle Maid."
Zeus looked at her carefully.
"Your body is not suited for combat. Go elsewhere."
Mara was stunned. How could she tell Mistress Lilith about this?
"How is my body not suited for combat?"
Zeus turned towards her and poked her side. It caused her to cough up blood.
"That was me just trying to get your circulation back proper. Think about how much I would have to do for you now."
Mara was shocked. She did not think she was this heavily injured.
"Mistress Lilith asked me to come to you for training. She also said something about guiding me around."
Zeus understood what Lilith wanted.
"To prove your worth. In your current condition, make me move two steps back."
Mara attempted to do so. Lilith frowned watching the duo from above. She knew how Zeus worked.
"See. You are weak and not worthy of making me step two steps. What about Lilith the Soul Mate to the Demon King? What could you do for her?"
Mara wanted go refute but nothing came to mind.
"See. You cannot protect people without making somebody step back. Even the greatest of people makes a step back to see how their opponent reacts."
Mara was shocked to hear that. No one had ever given her people vs people training just weapon training.
"Who should I be able to make step back if I cannot force a crowd to?"
Zeus was surprised and laughed.
"That depends. If it is for someone to protect, you make them go back. If it is for a personal grudge, you find the strongest and the leader and force them suck on the blade of your sword."
Mara did not understand that language. When she saw other people training, she saw wooden swords being shoved into mouths as a winner was decided.
"Wouldn't normal swords going into people's mouths kill them?" She was nervous.
"Of course to shove completely through. This makes the crowd think that you are stronger than them. You might find a crowd that wants to do nothing but gain popularity. You must fight everything with all you got."
Mara understood that.
"Who is it that you have to protect?"
"Mistess Lilith for now."
"Until you force me back you will watch them train and train while being beaten."
Mara did not know how to answer to this.
"I will oversee that you are not considered into the sword into mouth brackets but this will eventually tell you how to defeat me or cause me to go back in steps. That is your first duty. Take notes and rest until next week, during that time you will be forced into getting Qi forced into you."
Mara did not dare to go against Zeus. Inwardly, Zeus was praying that Hades and Apollo come back and help her because they have greater affinity in that type of healing.
That night Apollo and Hades both came back victorious. Of course that was normal, if it was just one of them. They might have been stopped.
"We have successfully wiped out that kingdom for their treacherous attitude." Hades spoke to Zeus.
"Good. I have a request and hope not to make it a demand for the two of you."
The duo listened carefully.
"Mistess Lilith has gotten Mara from that tournament to become Master Rex's Battle Maid. Make sure she is healed up in time. My affinity for that kind of healing is not proper compared to you two. I made her vomit a lot of blood at first. That should have helped her but I hope that it did not damage her."
The duo heeded his words and went to check on Mara. Once they entered her room, a shocked expression appeared on Hades' face.
Her natural glow seemed to similar to Zeus when he is glowing with fury.
"I take it you are Mara correct?"
"Yes."
"Who is your parents?"
"Madam ... and Noble ..."
Hades did not buy it.
"Show me a recording of them."
When Hades looked at it. He instantly knew who she was.
"Your father is a powerful man but that noble was bought to be your father."
Mara was shocked to hear that.
