For Emma, her destined "journey" had come to an end.
Ever since she was sensible, she had been troubled by fate. As a professional and a saintess, she had tried hard to get rid of such a fate, but after several attempts, not only did her fate not change, it even happened more miserably. More people were implicated, but the fate did not change in general. As a result, she gave up resisting and carefully walked along the fate line, trying not to involve innocent people and cause more damage.
She had thought that her fate was already fixed. How many nights had she secretly cried while lying on the pillow? She didn't like her future to be planned, she didn't like to be a chess piece, and she didn't like Kail to be her husband. Although he was indeed a good man, she just didn't like him.
However, her probing and resistance were meaningless and useless before the power of fate. With helplessness and resignation, Emma carefully walked on the path of fate, until she met Beta.
Outsiders couldn't understand how happy Emma was when she found out that the situation in Reed Village wasn't going according to fate. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was excited.
Even though she was punched by Betta and broke two of her front teeth, which greatly damaged her image, and it took her almost a week to recover with magic treatment, and even though Betta didn't like her very much at first, she still found a way to stay next to this man.
It was because she knew very well that this man was her only hope to get rid of her predetermined fate.
After such a long time, Emma was completely used to staying by this man's side. Now that Beta suddenly said that they were going to separate, she suddenly realized that there would be parting between them.
Bitterness surged in her heart, and the grievance she suffered last night was gone. She pursed her lips and looked at Beta with obvious reluctance and pleading on her face.
She hoped that Beta was only joking.
Nobody noticed Emma's mood. Now that everybody heard that, they all seemed somewhat depressed. After all, they had been friends and comrades for such a long time. It would be strange if they didn't feel sad when they were suddenly parting.
Beta looked at everyone and smiled, "Why do you all look so bitter? It's just a temporary separation. It's not like we'll never meet again."
When Kail heard this voice, his spirit rose. "Teacher, what do you mean?"
"I'll set up a permanent Teleportation Magic Array here that will lead directly to Reed Village." Betta paused and glanced at everybody, before he said, "The people of Isnas can come to Reed Village through this teleportation magic array, and the people of Reed Village can teleport to Isnas through this magic array."
When Emma heard this, she immediately beamed with joy. If there was such a teleportation array, it would be very easy for her to go to Reed Village to see Beta. This immediately brightened her mood. The Queen, who was sitting next to her, shook her head helplessly.
However, at this moment, Second Prince Ignatsu, who had been silent all this time, spoke, "A permanent magic array? This thing is a strategic function building, right? Are you sure Emma can protect it if you put it here? Also, you didn't set up such a magic array just for friends to meet, did you? "
As expected of the original prince. Though he wasn't as capable as the first prince, he was still better than everybody else. He was the only one apart from Beta who saw the pros and cons of a permanent Teleportation Magic Array.
Looking at the second prince, Beta explained, "A permanent Teleportation Magic Array is indeed a very important strategic function. If you're not strong enough, other people will definitely be greedy for it. So, I'll set restrictions on this magic array. First of all, it can only teleport five tons of materials at a time. Secondly, it has to be recharged for half a month after it's used. Finally, I'll disguise it and make it look like an ancient magic array in other people's eyes. Then, Emma will discover it by accident. "
The second prince nodded. "That's feasible. After all, a flawed Magic Array, even if it was permanent, would not attract too much greed from the big shots. At most, they would send some people over to analyze the Magic Array. There was no need for them to go against Emma over this matter. After all, Emma is a member of the royal family and the Holy Lady of the Temple of Storm. "
"We'll meet each other every half a month?" Emma thought for a moment and nodded in the end. She felt that she could endure not seeing Beta for a long time. Any longer, and it would be too tiring for her.
"The magic array is set up in Isnas because it's almost the center of Hollevin." Beta continued, "Wherever you go, you'll be closer to Isnas, and it'll be much easier for us to meet each other."
Everybody nodded to show that they understood.
The second prince seemed to have recovered from the blow, and now he was clearly in a better mood. "Lord Beta, you actually told me about the permanent teleportation magic array in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell on you? The significance of a permanent Teleportation Magic Array is extraordinary. Anyone would want your head. "
Beta glanced at him. "The question is, will anybody still believe you?"
After a brief shock, the second prince shook his head helplessly. Yes, now he was the loser in the fight for the throne, and it was thanks to Betta that he was able to survive. If he were to tell Beta's secret as soon as he turned around, others would most likely not believe him, and would even think that he was ungrateful.
Although it was normal for nobles to be ungrateful, it was usually done in private. Nobody was willing to deal with a noble whose reputation was so bad, even if he was a prince.
"After the magic array is built, I'll return to Reed Village with Kail and Alice. What's your plan?"
Emma thought for a moment and replied, "I have to go back to the Northshire County and tell Pope about the underground city that the Realm of Devils is building below the mountain."
Sophie nodded and replied, "Me too. Although the Nether Temple in the capital has been destroyed, I have to go back to the Divine Realm and report everything to Pope."
Hearing Sophie's words, Beta took out the Nether God's Nightgown from his space and handed it to her. He then warned, "This robe is very powerful and can be described as a divine artifact. However, I hope you won't wear it unless you're in danger. After the danger is over, you must take it off. It's best to give this robe to your Pope. I think he'll definitely remember it as a great contribution. "
The Nether God's Nightgown was still gorgeous. Specks of starlight slowly swam on the pitch-black fabric.
Sophie put away the robe and smiled at Beta, indicating that she had taken his words to heart.
Then, Beta asked Ignatsu, "Your Highness, what are your next plans?"
"Me?" Ignatsu smiled bitterly. After a while, he slowly said, "Although it seems that my territory has not been taken back, I also understand that without the support of a big shot, I can no longer have the identity of a prince."
Saying this, he glanced at Beta. However, seeing that the other party did not respond, he completely gave up. "I plan to become a bard and travel around the world. Although I'm not very strong, I'm still much stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, I've read quite a lot and I'm not bad looking. I'm more than enough to be a bard. "
Emma could not bear it. "But it'll be very hard!"
"It's already the greatest fortune to be able to survive." Ignatsu smiled faintly. "In any case, my fate can be considered to be relatively good. You should also know what happens to those who have failed to fight for the throne. The further I am from my territory, the safer my wife and children will be."
Everyone understood that Ignatsu's words made sense.
After that, everyone casually chatted for a while before dispersing. Sophie was the first to leave. Before she left, she mustered up the courage to hug Beta. This caused Emma, who was standing at the side, to feel very bad.
After that, the second prince also left. As a farewell gift, Beta gave him a gold brick. After all, the second prince was penniless. Even if he wanted to become a bard, a good musical instrument was also necessary.
Then, Beta began to set up a Teleportation Magic Array outside the castle. Because he had long prepared for this and had the materials in the Space, the magic array was quickly set up.
Emma and the queen watched reluctantly as Beta and the other two disappeared into the magic array. After standing for a while, Emma heard the queen's voice. "My lovely daughter, last night you ran into Beta's room and made a big fool of yourself."
Emma's face immediately turned red.
"Did you know? Your father used to like men. " The queen smiled coquettishly, "But after I became his wife, he never went looking for another man, nor did he look for another woman. I was his only wife. "
Emma's little mouth opened wide. She felt as if she had heard earth-shattering news. She really didn't expect that her kind and decent father would have such a dark history.
"There are some men in this world that can't be conquered by looks. For example, outstanding men like Beta." The queen's voice was full of praise. "Before I became the queen, I learned how to seduce men from a very powerful old woman. She was already over 60 years old at that time, and her wrinkles were so deep that they could kill flies. Even so, she still had many young and handsome men who loved and clung to her. "
Emma was very smart. Her eyes sparkled. "That's why Father loves you so much!"
The queen covered her mouth and chuckled. "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Emma nodded vigorously. She knew how difficult it was to conquer the mountain that was Beta. But she soon had some doubts. "Beta only likes women with big breasts … like mother."
Thinking of what Emma said last night, the queen's eyes flashed. She calmly said, "A woman's charm is more about her temperament and expression. From tomorrow onwards, I will be strict with you. Do you understand?"
Emma nodded repeatedly. In this way, the saintess of the Temple of Storms began to practice how to seduce men. Beta didn't know that because of his refusal, a naughty goblin would soon be born.
