Chapter 295: You Smell Great, It Smells Divine
Meanwhile, the holy knight lady, who was still on her knees, was utterly dumbfounded by the conversation just now. She didn't know what happened, but she was in the presence of the Goddess of Blessings. Human Goddess, a divine figure she worshiped all the time.
After all this time, she finally came face to face with the divine existence, who always guided the Human Race with blessings of glory.
Ariel rushed over to the Little Fairy and knelt down by her Goddess. "The- The Goddess of Blessings, I express all my praise of gratitude to your glory. Please forgive this humble servant for failing to notice your holy presence."
"Mm, you don't need to apologize, my faithful, holy knight. My current form is a little different. I understand that." Nell grasped her hand with an affectionate smile.
Ariel just nodded, even though there were so many questions in her mind. So, Elysia's anxiety was because of her master and the pitch-black clouds earlier? What really happened this night? The Goddess of Light helped the Goddess of Blessings? Then, what did the Evil God do?
"Miss Ariel, I know there are so many questions in your mind right now. However, please save them for tomorrow afternoon to clear things up. It's late, and we will wake up early to return to Aeddoterra City." Elena said that as if she knew what Ariel was thinking. In fact, she just wanted to go back to sleep, so no more talking.
"Let's call it a day and rest. The Goddess of Blessings, if you don't mind, please rest here. My master will take care of us." Elena took a soft pillow on the sofa and offered it to the little Goddess.
Nell certainly couldn't refuse it because she was tired enough from being bullied by that stupid Evil God for over an hour. Therefore, she floated down and landed on the soft pillow. She laid down there as she desperately needed a night of quality sleep.
Elena smiled softly seeing that, and Nell also smiled back. Then, she looked at the dumbfounded Ariel. "Miss Ariel, are you going to stay in that position all night? Due to the incident that just happened, the Goddess of Blessings is quite exhausted and needs rest. You also please rest. My master will protect us from anything."
Ariel took a deep breath and nodded silently. She didn't want to disturb the Goddess of Blessings, who was about to rest.
After that, she got back up and went to sit on the other sofa. Due to the sense of excitement, she couldn't possibly sleep. In that time, she could collect the questions for tomorrow, as already said, while organizing her thoughts.
Elena let out a soft sigh while looking up at the night sky full of stars. However, her gentle smile suddenly turned into a grin as she looked at the little Goddess on her lap. Nell fell asleep quickly because of the comforting magic she carefully emitted.
'Sister Elena, please don't grin like that at the ideas you have for Nell.' Elysia advised for the common good.
'Oops, please forgive my ungraceful behavior. I can't wait for tomorrow to arrive. Eh, it's been days now, so I can't wait for the afternoon to come, hehe...' Elena chuckled after changing her expression to a gentle one.
'Ely, please let me sleep on your lap.' Elena suddenly got the idea, and she requested it.
'Sure, here.' Elysia patted her thigh lightly. She didn't mind one bit, and she could sleep in a sitting position.
Elena didn't wait for another second. She laid on her back and rested her head on Elysia's thigh. As for Nell, she put the pillow on the other side of Elysia.
'Good night and thanks, Ely. I've been wanting to try sleeping on your lap for quite a while. Hmm, you smell great. It smells divine.' Elena tilted her body to the right, sniffing the scent from Elysia's body directly.
'Nha, Where are you sniffing me, Sister Elena! Please sleep with a little courtesy.' Elysia immediately held Elena's head with a flushed face.
'No, no, let me sleep in a position like this. If we sleep on our right side, it can reduce the burden on our hearts. I will speak no more.' Elena gave the excuse to be allowed to stay in that position.
'Okay, please be a good girl and don't talk strange things.' Elysia could only give in when Elena put on a pitiful expression.
Elena just nodded and smiled, then went back to sleep in a comfortable position. Meanwhile, Elysia only stroked Elena's head with a gentle smile, and Elena was still using her form. Strange, it felt like stroking her own hair.
As the minutes passed, Elysia thought about sleeping in that position as her plan, but she realized Ariel seemed to be in some inner thought work. The holy knight lady was pensive while looking at her from behind? Maybe, Ariel got confused because they didn't explain anything?
Ariel clearly wanted to ask questions or enlightenment, but Elena decided everything, and Ariel missed the opportunity to raise it. Then, this holy knight lady also didn't dare to say anything because of consideration to the Goddess of Blessings. The latter had fallen onto the soft pillow's comfort.
"Saint Holy Knight Ariel, are you in any particular trouble? If you don't mind, you can pour that out. Let's see if I can help." Elysia was kind enough to offer. She was a little worried that Ariel could not calm down before knowing a few details.
A gentle, soothing voice rang in Ariel's ears. She came out of her train of thought to focus her attention on the Goddess of Light. If that had to be said, it was apparent she had some confusion which could be categorized as a particular problem.
"O the Goddess of Light, can you please enlighten this confused soul? The night sky was shrouded in pitch-black clouds, your divine presence and the Goddess of Blessings, then the Evil God? What just happened?" Ariel clasped her hands, staring at the divine presence from behind with a plea.
Elysia didn't answer that right away. She looked out of the window, staring at the night sky full of twinkling stars. It was so festive and soothing when compared to the lightless night sky.
"The Evil God performed a particular ritual on the Devil Continent and caused a strange phenomenon. The Goddess of Blessings, who was searching for the truth, realized that quickly. No, she also discovered the inexplicable. She went to meet the Evil God, and a clash broke out.
Out of expectation, the incident got more complicated, and she was forced to ask me for help. However, she can only transmit it to my disciple as an intermediary. Now it's okay, I've resolved everything. You don't have to worry." Elysia tried to calm the confused soul with a brief summary of events.
Then, she went on with her schedule out of concern. She had the suspicion that she would often run into Ariel after this. "Tomorrow afternoon, in Aeddoterra City, the Goddess of Blessings and I will attend a top-level meeting upon my request. You may participate with permission from Pope Alexander.
Hm, no, I assume you've been assigned to protect Gabriella Celestine, given the events that recently happened in that city. So, your presence is confirmed. Now, please rest. This room is already protected with my magic."
"I- I see, I understand. I express my profound gratitude to your generosity for enlightening this confused soul, o divine light--" Ariel continued with chanting of praise with beautiful long sentences.
Unfortunately, Elysia became sleepy while listening to it, but she heard it until Ariel finished nevertheless. She breathed a sigh of relief in her mind after Ariel went to Ella's bed and laid down there.
Then, Elysia took a comfortable position and slept. It was just a little over three hours before five, and she really wanted to sleep. Glory to Ella, Evelyn, and Vanessa, who were still fast asleep in the comfortable beds.
On the other hand, Ariel closed her eyes to sleep for real. In retrospect, she rarely slept, feeling safe and comfortable without worrying about anything. Only light sleep as she had to standby any time in case something unexpected happened all of a sudden.
However, it was completely different right now because she was so close to the two Goddesses... She felt protected. Ariel couldn't think of a time she'd ever been happier. Her life devotion to the Goddess of Blessings kindled everything. She fell asleep on a ray of happiness with a beaming smile on her face.
The girls in the room slipped into sleep, utterly oblivious to what was happening outside. The protection in the Reinhard Family's mansion was surprisingly tight and hidden that night.
Hundreds of Spirit-level experts or above guarded the various corners of the mansion's territory. Even the mosquitoes or crickets couldn't make a fuss.
That night, Harold did not return to his mansion. He, Emperor Elliott, and Emperor Raphael discussed the recent events and then the top-level meeting. They also involved the other three Emperors and several other essential authorities.
Many parties decided to skip their sleep time because of all the events that night.
Time passed until the moon disappeared into the western horizon. The sun rose from the eastern horizon to replace the task of illuminating the land with its radiance.
*Beep* *Beep*
The alarm rang, indicating that morning had arrived. Elysia woke up, but she immediately closed her eyes again because the sunlight slipped into her vision and made her a little dazzled.
Even though she was awake, she just left the alarm clock ringing for the other girls because she couldn't wake them up for some apparent reason.
