Chapter 910 Do I Need A Reason To Save Someone? [Part 2]
After finishing her tasks, Queen Rhiannon returned to her temporary room in Andras' Castle with a satisfied expression on her face.
She had delegated one of her trusted subordinates to serve as the temporary ruler of the 12th Layer, who would keep it in check in her absence.
Although she knew that the Demons under Andras' control would not be cooperating with them anytime soon, she believed that they would soon accept her as their leader.
"Still sleeping?" Queen Rhiannon smirked as she looked at the handsome Half-Elf, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, completely naked.
She was tempted to play with him again in order to wake him up, but she resisted this urge and simply sat on the space beside him.
Queen Rhiannon then gently patted his head and decided to peer inside his memories.
When she captured Cai, the High Priestess had told her that her fiance would come to save her after he was done with his mission. She didn't elaborate on the mission, and back then, Queen Rhiannon didn't believe that Lux would truly come to his fiance's rescue.
For her, all men were the same, and they couldn't be trusted.
Naturally, this mindset changed a bit after meeting Lux.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she felt jealous of Cai because even though Lux knew that he would face her, a Demigod, the Half-Elf didn't abandon the High Priestess and fought against her in order to save his fiance.
She understood that Lux had abandoned whatever he was doing and came to the Abyss as soon as he could, giving Queen Rhiannon a good impression of him.
'I wonder what you were doing before you came to the Abyss?' Queen Rhiannon thought before closing her eyes to peer in Lux's memories.
A minute later, she abruptly opened her eyes and looked at the sleeping Half-Elf in disbelief.
"I-It can't be," Queen Rhiannon muttered. "Is Fate playing a trick on me?"
The Demigod bit her lip before peering at Lux's memory a second time. This time, she traced the memory that she had seen earlier and confirmed that it wasn't just a figment of her imagination.
"So it's true," Queen Rhiannon said as she looked at the sleeping Half-Elf with a complicated look on her face. "Fate, you are a b*tch."
——————————
When Lux opened his eyes, he found himself staring at a peerless beauty, who was staring straight at him.
"Good morning?" Lux said before stifling a yawn.
"Good morning," Queen Rhiannon replied in a calm manner. "Lux, I want to ask you a question. What were you doing before you came to the Abyss?"
Lux, who was still half asleep, replied. "I was going to the Pantheon of Exile in Agartha to meet someone."
"Is it a girl?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Tell me more about her."
Lux yawned before giving his reply. "Are you talking about Aurora? She is currently imprisoned in the Pantheon of Exile. She is also a very pitiful girl that bears the title Misfortune's Beloved. If possible, I want to find a way to prevent her from infecting others with bad luck, so I can bring her back to the Surface World with me."
The Half-Elf then blinked once then twice as he looked at the peerless beauty in front of him.
"Now that I take a good look at you, the two of you bear a great resemblance with each other," Lux said with a smile. "Are you perhaps her long lost mother?"
Lux said these words in a teasing manner.
Although Aurora and Queen Rhiannon had some similarities, he didn't believe that the two of them were related. Afterall, the Succubus Queen lived in the Abyss and was a Demigod.
It was impossible for her to go to Agartha.
Aurora was also a little thin and obviously malnourished from her stay within the Pantheon of Exile.
After a bit of pondering, Lux believed that once she became healthier, her beauty would rival the woman who was lying on the bed with him at the moment.
"Misfortune's Beloved? Truly a pitiful girl," Queen Rhiannon replied. "And you want to save someone like her? Why?"
"Do I need a reason to save someone?" Lux answered. "Isn't that a normal thing to do?"
Queen Rhiannon eyed Lux critically as if looking for any signs of insincerity. Her stare was so intense that the Half-Elf felt as if she was staring straight to his soul.
"Is something wrong?" Lux inquired. "You don't look so good."
"It's nothing." Queen Rhiannon propped herself up from the bed before closing her eyes. "Tomorrow, before you leave, I plan to give you something. I will visit the 69th Layer for the time being. Make sure you don't leave until I come back, understand?"
"Well, if you say so."
"Promise me that you'll wait for me."
"O-Okay."
Queen Rhiannon gave Lux an intense stare before walking towards the window of the room. A moment later she vanished, leaving a confused Half-Elf behind.
Not far from the castle, Antero sat on the ground, with two guests sitting on his head.
Lilian was patiently teaching Eiko a few things, and the Baby Slime was listening to her with a serious expression on her face.
"Lord Antero, I need your help," Queen Rhiannon said. "Please come with me to the 69th Layer of the Abyss. It is of grave importance."
Antero chuckled and slowly stood up from the ground.
Lilian held Eiko protectively in her embrace before jumping off the Golem's body. She didn't intend to follow them to whatever layer of the Abyss they planned to go to.
She was busy passing a Legacy to the Baby Slime that would allow the latter to unlock her true potential and become stronger.
The two Demigods left in haste, and no one knew what they were going to do once they reached the 69th Layer of the Abyss.
Whatever Queen Rhiannon was planning, it had to be something of great importance because she personally asked Antero for help.
Lux, who had been left alone inside the room, decided to sleep a little bit more in order to recover his stamina.
He was not aware that the simple question he asked earlier had lit a flame inside Queen Rhiannon's heart that had remained dormant for nearly two decades.
