Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 121.2: Sisters, What Happens if I Get Pregnant by Accident? (2)

[Hela: It's nothing. It was just a food for thought after some chats with my puppets.]

Beth and Histia were the oldest two among the Imperial Guards. At the same time, Beth was one of the pastors of the Church.

As an older sister, Beth began to impart knowledge to her pure and ignorant younger sister.

[Beth: The Imperial Guard's sacred ceremony will be held after we reach a certain age. At that time, the Church will choose a man with the purest bloodline of the goddess in Haines to mate with us. I know that many Imperial Guards have a lot of objections towards having sex with mortals. However, Hela, this is our mission after all. She is the goddess who gave us divinity and gave us a destiny. If we can't bear a child, the glory of the goddess won't be able to continue and our country won't be able to grow… Therefore, we'll just treat it as a difficult mission and work hard to complete it.]

The considerate and understanding Beth consoled Hela with emotions and logic.

However, she had completely underestimated the purity of Hela.

[Hela: I know. I mean, what if I get pregnant right now?]

[Beth: ???????]

[Hela: Can I give birth to the child?]

[Beth: …]

That shocking statement stunned her.

This sister who was a nun remained silent for a long time before her shocked brain gradually returned to normal.

[Beth: Hela, no! That's an absolute nono! The blood of Goddess Order flows within your body and you're the embodiment of her in this mortal world... How can you use this body to love a mortal and engage in a union outside of the sacred ceremony?!]

[Beth: Imitating the way mortals fornicate with one another to give birth to inferior offsprings is a taboo written in the ironclad laws! Hela... Could it be you're in love with a mortal? You can't do that, alright?! You'll be severely punished!]

It was clear that Beth was flustered. She was someone who adhered to the laws of the goddess. At the same time, as the second sister of this generation's Imperial Guards, it was her duty to guide her younger sisters on the right path.

Hela's words right now had her scared out of her wits.

On the other hand, Hela hurriedly consoled Beth.

[Hela: Don't worry, Sister Beth ^_^]

[Hela: I didn't get involved with mortals with lowly bloodlines nor did I do anything to taint the bloodline of the goddess!]

Hela was honest and serious in her reply, but as someone who knew about the insider details, Edaline could not help but sneer.

[Hela: I'll abide by the laws of the goddess and leave myself for the man who is the most suitable for union.]

[Beth: Can I really rest assured…]

By the way…

While Hela was interacting with Beth...

Miss Constance, who was praying in the Church in the palace, maintained her silence in the channel. After reading the conversation, her gaze was a little complicated.

Right then.

Histia logged on.

She posted a spell projection into the channel.

It was a selfie.

In the projection, Histia was located in a desert with a scorching sun behind her. At that moment, the beautiful golden-haired goddess was clad in armor and was fully equipped, as though she had just ended a battle. However, she had a delighted smile on her face and looked like she was in a rather good mood.

This was no ordinary selfie.

That was because Edaline had keenly discovered something.

There was a small scar on Histia's neck.

It was a knife wound.

The scar streaked across the side of Histia's neck, as though it was about to tear her artery and end her life.

Of course, that was impossible.

Just like a certain white-haired pointy ear from Leta, Histia was almost inhuman because of her high purity divinity.

Beneath her skin were crystallized blood vessels that contained the authority of Order. This was a symbol that she was infinitely close to a true god and similarly, those crystallized blood vessels were almost indestructible.

The scar did not fail to take Histia's life because it was cut too shallowly.

It was because it could only slash to this depth.

No matter how hard the enemy tried, there was no way they could threaten the life of this 95% pure incarnate of Order.

However, Edaline was still curious.

Even if it was just a scratch, it was still extremely rare for anyone in the entire mortal world to be able to injure Histia.

After all, this lass could kill an ancient dragon singlehandedly!

So, who did it?

Before long, Histia gave an explanation as well.

[Histia: Look guys, I encountered a worthy opponent today. I made a bet with her. As long as she could injure me, I would admit defeat to her and pay the price—and now, the outcome is as everyone can see.]

Histia was injured.

She had lost.

Although she was defeated, Histia was not discouraged. Instead, her words seemed to be filled with respect and admiration.

This was her usual style.

[Histia: She's a warrior who seeks glory. In order to fulfill her wish, I'll retain this scar for her.]

[Edaline: So, who won you? Was it some foreign demigod or some monster hidden in a ruin?]

[Histia: Neither.]

[Histia: Her identity is what makes her so amazing.]

Even just by looking at the words, Edaline could sense Histia's respect for that mysterious opponent.

[Histia: She's a mortal!]

Wow…

This time round, it was not only Edaline. The other Imperial Guards in the channel were shocked as well.

There were mortals in this world who could hurt Histia?

It was unbelievable. No, it was impossible!

The channel was bustling with discussions.

As for Edaline, she stared at the selfie and fell into deep thought.

Speaking of which…

Looking at the background behind Histia, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like… the Gobi Desert in the north of Leta.

With that…

Edaline was shocked.

Could it be that the mortal who defeated Histia...

Was in Leta?
