After that, Shien and Lucy didn’t continue celebrating. After greeting a few people they had good relationships with, they hurriedly left.
It couldn’t be helped. The situation on the other side was concerning. Not only Lucy, but even Shien didn’t want those big shots to suddenly start fighting and ruin their engagement banquet.
Therefore, Shien and Lucy left the scene to Lia and excused themselves.
Under such circumstances, the dignitaries also lost interest in continuing the celebration and began to leave the palace one after another.
Of course, they wouldn’t forget what happened at today’s engagement banquet.
They also couldn’t forget that two of the Three Goddesses of the Divine Race and two of the Six Demon Lords were currently in the royal capital, in the palace.
And their purpose was simple: they were all here for Shien.
This made many people reassess Shien’s backing, reinforcing their thoughts of not offending him or becoming his enemy.
“Cooperating with Viscount Buztout was indeed the right choice.”
Harvis was glad about this.
“We’ll wait for the two goddesses outside the palace and see if they have any instructions.”
Yuler also waited outside the palace with the temple priests.
Vivian, Diere, Lumia, and Melika were sighing.
“I… I didn’t expect to see the Goddess of Life here…”
“It’s a pity we didn’t see the Goddess of Nature…”
Lumia was unusually excited, while Melika felt a bit regretful.
After seeing Anima, Lumia had been very excited.
After all, Lumia was a beastman, and the Goddess of Life was the highest deity of the beastmen race. Being able to see the Goddess of Life in person, it was impossible for her not to be excited.
Compared to Lumia, Melika only felt regret.
The Goddess of Fate and the Goddess of Life had appeared. Only one of the Three Goddesses hadn’t shown up, and she happened to be Nadue, the Goddess of Nature, the highest deity of the Elven Race. Melika naturally felt regretful. RáŊỒbЁs
Of course, Melika didn’t know that the Goddess of Nature was actually present, just not showing herself.
As for Vivian, she looked at Diere.
“Aren’t you going?” Vivian asked softly. “If it’s you, you should be qualified to go, right?”
Diere was surprised.
“…So, you already know?”
Diere was silent for a moment, then murmured.
Vivian’s words meant that she already knew that Diere, like Lucy, was blessed by Lildas.
But Diere had never told anyone about this, only Shien.
Therefore, Vivian’s words truly surprised Diere.
“Because you didn’t try to hide it, right?” Vivian smiled slightly. “And we’ve been together for quite a while now. You sometimes show unusual perceptiveness and intuition, so I made a guess.”
“And you guessed right?” Diere said calmly. “As expected, among everyone, you’re the one who understands the Divine Race the most.”
Vivian didn’t deny it.
She did understand the Divine Race.
After all, she had a deep connection with them.
It couldn’t be helped.
“Then are you sure you’re not going?” Vivian asked. “It’s good to go and see, right?”
“No need.” Diere shook her head. “With the Dragon Demon, the Moon Demon, and the strongest evil god by his side, whether I go or not doesn’t matter.”
Diere’s tone was a bit strange.
Vivian noticed it, but as if she knew why, she didn’t expose it.
“If it’s you, even if you just offer a few suggestions, Goddess Lildas will listen, right?”
Vivian said.
The higher the level of the goddess, the more they valued their blessed ones. Vivian naturally knew this.
But…
“I’m different from that princess. Besides receiving the blessing in my childhood, I haven’t interacted with the Goddess of Fate.” Diere said calmly, “Therefore, my words probably don’t carry as much weight as the princess’s. If my words are effective, then the princess’s words are even more so.”
Since that was the case, whether she went or not didn’t matter.
That’s what Diere wanted to express.
“Alright.” Vivian said helplessly. “Then are you going back with us?”
Diere fell silent.
After a while, Diere shook her head.
“No, I’ll go for a walk by myself before going back.”
