Chapter 155: Interlude 10: path of the queen (2) (1/2)
”I have found a way for you to have a child.”
Facing the decrepit man standing in front of her, Lilith, who wore an expression of disgust, was astonished.
It has already been nearly three years since the day her Capacity was announced.
The little girl of then was no more and what replaced her was a strong and confident woman who could proudly say that she stood near the peak since she had reached the Duke class long ago.
On the battlefield, people whispered her name with fear and apprehension.
In a way, she was even more feared than Mars.
After all, even though she was weaker than him, she was a ruthless demon that heeded no code of chivalry and would massacre as many soldiers as possible.
Meanwhile, her 'father', a man who had seemed oh-so tall a few years ago, was still nothing more than a Duke class.
After abdicating his throne to Mars, he had vanished from the surface and was pushing himself for his research.
Lilith didn't know the full story, but it seemed that another one of his experiments had been destroyed by Mars.
But despite all this, Neptune still seemed to refuse to give up.
”What are you talking about?”
Still, she had to admit that his words intrigued her.
After all, she knew better than anyone else that her body was unable to give birth.
Even though she had all the necessary organs, she lacked the eggs necessary to complete the process.
What's more, she had no interest in men and relationships in general.
'I wonder if I should kill him?'
He was simply too dangerous and mentally unstable.
More importantly, she could see that his Blessing was slowly leaving him.
His previously shining golden hair showed a hint of grey and the blue in his eyes was slowly fading.
From what Camelia told her, the number of Blessed possible at the same time was always limited.
Only those possessing the title of Crown Prince, the Holy Daughter, the King and the Supreme Daughter could be blessed.
At least that was what Camelia told her.
But Lilith didn't care about all that.
What she cared about was that —
If he was really losing his divine grace, then would killing him incur divine punishment?
The more she thought about it the more it seemed unlikely.
In the first place, the punishment would only come if a human tried to kill Neptune.
But she wasn't exactly a human…
”Hehe, you might be trying to hide it, but your killing intent is so heavy.”
Lilith did not even flinch,
”You are right, I am seriously debating about killing you. You look so weak now.”
Neptune seemed a little surprised, ”*Cough* *Cough* It seems that this is really so. But, did you know, if you kill me now, no one will be able to save you?”
”It doesn't matter. I have been ready to die long ago. If I can help him even a little bit, then it will be alright.”
”...”
”Is that so...Then I guess you do not want to have his child?”
Lilith's breath caught in her throat.
”Oh? Seems like you are interested.”
