The heavy pressure that had filled the royal hall vanished in an instant.
Everyone looked at Lildas, who was tearfully clutching her face, their emotions incredibly complex.
But they didn’t dare to speak or ask, only quickly lowering their heads and continuing to feign piety.
Only Lucy, after a wry smile, hurried forward and helped Lildas up.
“Lady Lildas, why are you here?”
Lucy asked, seemingly helpless.
Lildas immediately turned her tearful face to Lucy, looking angry.
“Can’t I come?” Lildas said, both indignant and aggrieved. “If I didn’t come, you might already be married by the time I find out.”
“Then you should have just stayed in the Divine Realm.” Lucy couldn’t help but whisper. “That way, you wouldn’t have embarrassed yourself.”
“You…” Lildas was furious.
However, seeing the strange expressions of the people prostrating themselves on the ground, Lildas seemed to become aware of her image and quickly straightened her face, looking at Shien, whose lips were twitching.
“Are you Shien Buztout? The human who stole my blessed one?”
Lildas’s expression was unfriendly.
Even more so than Shien’s earlier.
But now, the displeasure in Shien’s heart had vanished without a trace, replaced by helplessness.
Divine might like a prison?
Cold and merciless?
What was that? Had it been eaten?
Could this goddess… be a joke?
Shien sighed.
“I said, I am Shien.” Shien said listlessly. “But what do you mean by ‘stole your blessed one’?”
Lildas seemed even angrier.
“Isn’t that the case?” Lildas said, “You actually got engaged to my Lucy without telling me. If it weren’t for a lower-ranking god reporting that a human who received a revelation from Nadue and had a close relationship with the Dragon Demon had appeared in the human world, I wouldn’t have known about this at all.”
It seemed that the things Shien had done had already reached this goddess’s ears through the Divine Race’s investigation.
Shien really wanted to say,
“Seriously?” Shien narrowed his eyes. “Since when do humans who receive a god’s blessing have to report their marriage to the god who blessed them?”
“This…” Lildas was speechless.
Because there was indeed no such thing.
Although gods blessed and protected humans, they didn’t interfere in their lives.
Even if a human committed heinous crimes and became a vicious criminal, the gods would only be disappointed and regretful, removing the blessing from that person, and nothing more.
Of course, if it was a serious incident that would affect the very foundation of the human race, the Divine Race, or even the Demon Race, then the gods would intervene.
However, generally speaking, gods shouldn’t interfere in the lives of those in the lower realm, let alone their marriages.
Or rather, most lower-ranking gods didn’t even bother with the lower realm beings, as they only bestowed blessings upon humans as part of their duties, like a job.
Only those who reached the level of Superior Gods, and whose blessing recipients were few and far between, all elites of the human race, would the gods pay attention to and guide.
As for the Three Goddesses, their blessing recipients might not even appear once in a thousand years, but once they did, it meant that they possessed astonishing potential and would become pillars of the human race in the future.
Under such circumstances, the Three Goddesses naturally valued those worthy of their blessings.
However, valuing them was one thing, guiding their growth and leading them on the right path was understandable, but interfering in their marriages was a bit too much.
Lildas suddenly realized that she was a bit unreasonable.
Just then…
“You’re still as clumsy as ever, Lildas.”
With these words, Airi, holding Lilith’s hand, stepped forward.
“Dragon Demon?”
Lildas was stunned.
She wasn’t stunned because of Airi’s presence here.
She also knew that Airi was currently with Shien, so she wasn’t surprised by her appearance.
But seeing Lilith with her, Lildas was truly surprised.
“You’re Lilith?” Lildas gasped, covering her mouth. “You broke free from the seal?”
Clearly, Lildas didn’t know about the Cosmos incident yet.
After all, Anima hadn’t told her, only mentioning it to Nadue, so Lildas was still in the dark.
Of course, seeing Lildas’s surprised expression upon seeing Lilith, everyone else was also a bit surprised.
