Odyssey was dumbfounded, unable to react, just staring at Alexia.
Selena turned to Alexia. – Alexia, you've gone too far! – she said, swinging Eralith in her arms.
A servant, with a trembling voice, whispered. – Please stay calm. You will wake up the queen.
Alexia tried to attack her mother, but Hera intervened. – I'M TIRED OF YOU! I ALWAYS DO WRONG IN YOUR EYES, I'M NEVER ENOUGH! I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WANTED ARTHUR AND HERA AS YOUR CHILDREN, AND NOT THE TALENTLESS ALEXIA HERE! – she screamed, veins bulging on her face, which was now red.
Odyssey looked into Alexia's eyes and saw nothing but hatred and rage. "This..." She thought, trying to understand what was happening.
The servant repeated. – Miss Alexia, stay calm. The queen will be very upset if she wakes up...
Hera held Alexia tightly. – Alexia! Stop this! NOW! – she shouted as she held her waist.
– NO, YOU KNOW WHAT?! I'M LEAVING, ODYSSEY! STAY WITH YOUR BELOVED DISCIPLES! – Alexia screamed in Hera's arms.
Mayara, standing at the door with veins on her face, threw a cushion at Alexia's face, shutting her mouth.
Alexia fell silent, and glaring at Mayara.
– CLOSE YOUR MOUTH! We want to sleep! Go argue tomorrow, you clueless blonde! – Mayara grunted, turning to her room.
The veins on Alexia's face enlarged. – Hera, let me go! Don't hold me back!
"But why did this girl out of nowhere started acting like this? Had she held so much hatred towards her mother? She hid it well..." Selena thought, as she blocked the baby's ears with her inner Qi.
Queen Andromeda entered the room in a white overcoat covering a light golden dress. Her hair was loose, and she wore no makeup on her face. It was clear that her majesty had been asleep, and her dark circles under her eyes showed that she had been awakened by the noises.
Alexia pointed her finger at Odyssey. – I HATE YOU! I'M LEAVING! I WANT YOU AWAY FROM ME! – she screamed, her eyes red with fury.
The woman was out of control, as if she had been drugged. It was not normal for Alexia to behave like this. She's always sweet, kind, and wise, but this was unlike her.
– Enough! – the queen's voice, soft but strong, gentle but authoritative, echoed through the room, silencing everyone.
They all crouched, including those who were not in the discussion. – Your majesty. – they exclaimed in unison.
The queen, passing her hand over her face, and her other hand on her waist, sighed.
– Forgive us, mother queen... – Hera said softly while her head was down.
– Mother queen, Odyssey is... – Alexia started the explanations, but the queen raised her hand, and she stopped.
– Odyssey?! She is you mother, not your friend! – the queen exclaimed with a bored expression.
– But mother qu... – Alexia tried but now Hera interrupted.
Hera, bowing with her back to Alexia, Hera looked at her with the corner of her eyes, and released words filled with kill intent. – You dare disobey the mother queen's voice? – she asked, with her eyes fixed on Alexia.
...
In the courtyard of the Glayder mansion, Farah, with veins on her face, fell to the ground and grabbed her children's heads. – You bastard! You, damn it! Son of a half-assed slut! – she whispered, her body trembling.
Arthur, looking at her, heard her murmurs perfectly but only smiled. – Stand up and speak properly! – he scoffed at her drooping face.
The widow, now motherless, stood up and looked at King Arthur with tears in her eyes. "I SWEAR I'M GOING TO KILL THIS CHILD!!" she thought in her heart but maintained a harmless posture outside.
"I heard that this woman is treacherous and poisonous, a typical worshipper of Aphrodite..." Gubong looked at the woman's beautiful face, wet with tears from her light brown eyes.
– As soon as you took the throne, Aca's harem became your harem, making me your woman. I know you're not going to kill me because the law forces you to take good care of your women. It's okay to kill these children, but you could just have killed them and not humiliated them like this. – Farah said, sobbing.
Galahad, looking at Farah, blushed. "What is this... This woman," he thought as his body reacted to her beauty.
Gubong, blushing. "I need to help my wife!" he thought but came to his senses after hitting his own head. "What is this?!" he asked himself, looking at the other soldiers and seeing their bodies reacting excitedly to the woman.
It is worth noting that Farah was a woman too beautiful for her age, of course not beautiful on the level of Hera, Aphrodite or Athena, but on the level of Arthur's mother, an unusual beauty. but not extraterrestrial like Hera and her family members. However, what made the men react like that was not just her above-average beauty, but also an Art of Seduction that she was using at that moment.
Art had only one defect, and it was...
With a very swift movement, Arthur drew his broken sword from its scabbard on his back and cut off her right arm. – Are you using an Art of Seduction on my men?! You are brave! But before executing your sentence, I want to know who exactly killed my father... – Arthur revealed that he knows and was not affected by the art.
This was the flaw of the Art, it was too mediocre to manipulate without being noticed by the martial artist Dragon.
Her arm was cut, blood flowed, but the courtyard was taken by a sound. – KYAAAAAH!!! – were Farah's screams.
She held her shoulder as Arthur cut her forearm.
– Who killed my father?! – Arthur demanded an answer, putting his sword on her chin and lifting her face.
Farah, kneeling, with veins on her face, and blood flowing, gnashed her teeth to suppress her fury. – It was Aca's men. They broke into the palace and caught your father and me in bed. They cut off his head, and as I was naked, Aca forced me to have sex with him... Ahh... – she said, moaning in pain. – The law says that anyone can invoke the law in the presence of an elder, so I claim my right as a wife, as a woman in your harem. I want you to marry me for what you did! – she whispered, trying to bear the pain.
Veins appear on Persival's face as he heard this. – How dare you speak of the law that you have broken so much in the presence of the king?! – he exclaimed, putting his hand on his sword in case the king didn't kill her.
Looking at her, Arthur raised his eyebrow. "Does this woman think she can deceive me with seduction arts? Just the fact that she's using it shows she's lying. Anyway, I don't want to waste any more time with this woman..." sighing, he decided. – Woman, I'm not going to marry you. You're going to die today! Be honest at least at the moment of your death. Besides, how is the old man going to witness this if he is unconscious?
With veins on her face, Farah gritted her teeth. – IT WAS ME, YOU SUCKER! I WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED YOUR IDIOTIC FATHER!! AND I REGRET NOT HAVING KILLED THE BASTARD HEIR AND THAT WHORE YOU CALL QUEEN!! – she screamed and then spat at Arthur's feet.
