Chapter 158 The Elf Queen's Choice
Meanwhile, the Elf Queen arrived in front of the Ice Goddess' palace, staring at her with narrowed eyes for a moment.
Now, when she came back here, she somehow felt uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because now she had an official relationship with a man plus there were no more threats threatening her that she had to be near the Ice Goddess who was a woman just like her.
Although she had no disgust for the Ice Goddess, even when she did that with her, she was able to enjoy it, thinking about it now made her not know whether to laugh or cry. After all, she was the Elf Queen with a very honorable reputation.
If her relationship with the Ice Goddess got out, she would have no face to face the world.
Phew!
She sighed, taking a step despite the discomfort as she needed to take care of something here.
However, what she needed to take care of was actually not just those Death Worms. She came with one other purpose.
This was something she did not tell Ciel because she thought that the young man would interfere with her plans.
And she needed to do so in order to reduce the problems that could arise in the future.
In her hand, a Mirror Jade appeared, something she had gotten from Ciel.
It hid the video of her releasing the Death Worms in the Ice Goddess' room.
Quickly, she arrived at the palace hall, meeting the Ice Goddess who had already stood up from her throne.
"Queen!" The Goddess smiled as she looked at the Elf Queen without noticing the Mirror Jade in her hand.
She felt calmer now that there was no Ciel around so she could be alone with the Elf Queen.
Even if doing something strange might not have been suitable given Ciel's threat, eating and traveling together was not bad either.
However, when the Ice Goddess tried to approach the Elf Queen, the latter suddenly thrust her hand forward as if she was asking her to stop.
This confused the Ice Goddess, of course. She asked, "what's wrong, Queen?"
"I have something to say to you," the Elf Queen replied calmly.
Her voice sounded low so it seemed like it did not reach the Ice Goddess.
Of course, the Goddess could still hear it very clearly.
She knitted her brows in confusion. She felt like something was not good and hearing it would probably send her into an emotional upheaval.
During her time with the Elf Queen, something like this had never happened. They were just always romantic.
"Since there is already no problem, so I will be honest with you now," the Elf Queen continued without waiting for the Ice Goddess to ask again. She also knew that the Ice Goddess would not ask again under these circumstances.
"Our relationship, and everything I have done for you. It was all because I was forced to do it, I didn't do it because I liked or loved you. The Ancient Night Race threatened me with threats that I could not refuse, so I did all of that because it involved the life and death of my race. They ordered me to approach you in order to harm you. Now that the threat is gone. Rather than continue to lie to you, I chose to tell you now."
This was what the Elf Queen wanted to do.
She had indeed begged Ciel not to show the video to the Ice Goddess because she feared that it could cause a major conflict where the Goddess did not even give her a chance to explain.
The problem was that she was worried that Ciel would not keep his word even if he promised not to show it to the Ice Goddess.
She could not completely trust Ciel. The young man had done a lot of trickery after all.
If he showed the video to the Ice Goddess even after she got rid of the Death Worms from the Ice Goddess' bathroom, things would still be the same because the video was completely genuine where her aura in the video was completely the same as her power aura so she wouldn't be able to claim that it was fake, made by Ciel to deceive.
Since its appearance, the so-called Mirror Jade could never be manipulated as people could easily distinguish the real and the fake just by looking at the auras of the people displayed by that Mirror Jade.
In this way, the Elf Queen could at least give the Ice Goddess an explanation. She was sure that it would minimize the conflict that would arise. Plus, Ciel would not be able to threaten her with that anymore.
The Ice Goddess' expression froze as she heard the Elf Queen's words. She stared at the face of the woman who was once her lover with a blank stare, as if she was a little girl who had just seen the reality of the world even though she had already seen too much reality.
Before she said anything, the Elf Queen continued, "the last thing I did, I put the Death Worms in your room, you can see for yourself."
The Elf Queen then handed over the Mirror Jade in her hand to the Ice Goddess by making it float slowly to her.
"I've always been worried since doing this and wondered how long I could delay. The good thing is that the threat can be eliminated sooner. In addition to telling you this, I also want to get rid of those worms now."
After saying that, the Elf Queen stepped towards the Ice Goddess' room.
She still looked calm despite the fact that she also felt heavy saying it all.
"Why?" The Ice Goddess finally spoke when the Elf Queen had only taken a few steps.
"I hope you understand that I really have to, Goddess," the Elf Queen replied without stopping her steps.
"I mean why are you telling me this?" There seemed to be another intent of the Ice Goddess' question that the Elf Queen did not understand.
This time, the Queen stopped her steps. She actually understood what the Ice Goddess meant.
"Yes, I want us to end this fake relationship," replied the Elf Queen with a sigh.
"So you didn't feel anything so you can easily say that it was all fake?" The Ice Goddess' voice became somewhat quiet but actually started to become cold.
At this point, the Elf Queen was silent for a few moments before answering, "because it is, in fact, all fake."
"Leave and don't appear in front of me again!" Instantly, the Ice Goddess returned to her true self, with her cold expression and eyes as she stared at the Elf Queen's back.
Even her aura began to radiate from her body, able to be felt throughout the entire Ice Continent.
People wondered what else had happened.
The Elf Queen looked back, thinking that the Ice Goddess was indeed worthy of her title.
This betrayal didn't make her cry or anything like that, but she immediately showed an ice-like demeanor.
"Wait until I get rid of those worms first," replied the Elf Queen.
"I can do it myself. You'd better not delay any longer," replied the Ice Goddess.
At this moment, her palms looked like they wanted to clench.
If a sword appeared there, an extremely devastating fight would probably ensue.
As an individual, the Elf Queen did not have the slightest fear of the Ice Goddess. However, she could not live as an individual because she was a queen.
In the end, she chose to change course because she really didn't want a fight to happen.
The matter of those worms, this did not mean the Ice Goddess could not do something.
She could have directly moved her room and the bathroom into the seal.
As the Queen walked towards the palace door, the Ice Goddess continued to stare at her with her cold eyes.
She had been tricked!
The thought kept filling her head, making her ashamed and angry at the same time.
All in all, she felt ridiculous for everything she did.
Her entire pride was shattered because of it. She didn't feel sad, just humiliated.
As a woman who easily hated others, the current Ice Goddess could not help but feel hatred towards the Elf Queen.
All of that was something that Ciel did not know. He was still busy making out with Mu Yixue in front of the Ice Palace disciples.
Over time, Mu Yixue seemed to forget that they were being watched.
She reciprocated Ciel's every touch, caressing his body gently after putting her hand inside his shirt.
As Ciel stuck out his tongue, she did the same so that their tongues met and caressed each other like two dancing snakes, a sight that made some of the Ice Palace disciples fall down.
They were shocked and mesmerized at the same time from seeing two figures with extraordinary looks enjoying each other.
"My, so this is what the Ice Prince looks like, he and Sister Junior are really charming," said a woman who was watching from the roof of a building.
She appeared to be 25 years old, had red hair in two ponytails, wore a short black skirt, and a long-sleeved blue T-shirt.
