Chapter 296
Dorea already had a good reason and she gave it back to Han immediately after he finished asking.
“Ratte isn’t just a coward. As of right now, Ratte is the only King that has a direct line to the Celestials and he is the only one that I can clearly say is capable of talking to a Celestial. Ratte is acting as a spy for them and the man that is directly in charge of me is the one acting as Ratte’s handler. Do you understand Han? This much should be a good reason for him to live. That man is the only one capable of helping you with the Celestials.”
Han clicked his tongue in distaste. He hated to say it but he could see the sense in what Dorea was saying. Ratte was a coward first and foremost, but as a spy for the Celestials, he can become a very valuable asset in the future.
As a Double Agent.
Someone that can feed the Celestials lies about what they are doing and keep them off his tail for as long as possible. Ratte is the only King that the Celestials trust and therefore he is the only one that can do this. Han felt irritated once he thought about it, but he actually needs that man! Ugh. That tastes like bile in my throat!
Dorea smiled as she saw how Han understood immediately. He was actually taking what she said into consideration. Dorea felt this immense joy that she was able to help him even from here. She hasn’t been able to repay him for what he has done for her so far but she hopes that this is a start.
“Okay, that is good, but I still need to find Ratte first. That rat is very good at running and I don’t think my shadow hunters can detect him with the amount of power they have. Are there any leads that you can give me about where he went to? Any small thing would be enough,”
Dorea releases a small hum here. It seems Han was forgetting what she is. Even if she isn’t one of the important Celestials, she is still a Celestial and she is more than capable of seeing what the chosen on the lower floors are up to. Ever since Dorea heard that Han was looking for Ratte, she has only been monitoring that man while waiting for the moment when she can share that information with Han. She hasn’t been able to see Ratte all the time because he was hiding somewhere that was outside of her view. That was when he was hiding inside Dyana’s cave, but she recently got his location when he moved to another place.
“If you want to find him. Then you need to go to the lower floor. Ratte was on floor fifty the last time I saw him, but I don’t know where he is right now. I think he moved lower. But you can start looking there for any clues,”
Han nodded as he came to terms with the new plan that he had to make. Once he was settled, he looked towards Dorea again. She was smiling slightly and still looking up at Han. Han took a deep breath and smiled back at her. Hmm. Now that he thought about it, how did she manage to get him here without the Celestials knowing about it? Don’t they monitor her all the time nowadays?
Dorea saw the question on Han’s face and answered before he could even ask.
“The Celestial in charge of me is not here currently and that is why I called you. She is handling a problem in the celestial plane. But I don’t know how fast she will come back so you have to go soon! I’ll call you again if I have any more clues,”
Dorea was about to send Han back, but he stopped her by grabbing her hand and pulling her close. Dorea’s chest slammed into Han’s own and she looked up at him in shock. What is he doing!?
Han didn’t say a word as he leaned down and kissed Dorea deeply. Dorea’s eyes widened in shock, but that only lasted for a short time before she put one of her hands behind Han’s head and deepened the kiss. Hmm~ This is a pleasant surprise. Dorea felt Han’s tongue dancing around her tongue and she tried to fight for dominance with his own but she kept on failing. Though that didn’t stop her at all. The battle is half the fun, after all.
Once they separated, Dorea had a mischievous smirk on her face while Han ran his finger across her lip. His smile was completely predatory!
“I’ve wanted to do that since I first saw you. And I suppose my guess was right back then as well. You taste just as good as you look. Delicious,”
Dorea tried her best but she couldn’t stop the small blush that came over her face once Han said this. She took his hand away from her lip before she leaned forward and kissed him again! This man always knows how to make her excited! She can’t get enough of him! Dorea felt as Han’s hand rose to her breasts and she moaned into his mouth as he squeezed down on her right breast! No! No! This can’t happen here! They weren’t safe here! There was a feeling of Dread inside of Dorea as she knew that she had to send Han back immediately.
Dorea pulled back and Han was shocked for a moment before she shouted.
“I-I’m sorry! We can’t do anything now! Just leave, I think my handler is on her way! I’ll see you another time okay! I-I’ll miss you and I’m sorry!”
Han felt that pull on his naval again and then he disappeared! Once Han left, it didn’t even take up to ten seconds before another woman appeared. She was the handler of Dorea and she went away for that short while to check out a report that a particular world she was watching over was about to experience Ragnarok. The end of the world. It was one of the interesting things about watching over the many worlds they put under her care. It is always fun to watch mortals running around in fear as their world blows up! But wait. Why are you panting so much Dorea?
“Penelope. I’m glad you came back safe. I hope your journey was eventful,”
Penelope hummed as Dorea greeted her. She could see a bit of sweat on Droreas face and she could also smell something pungent in the air. Don’t tell me Dorea had one of those ‘Happy hours’ that mortals usually have! Those times when they touch themselves like animals? Ugh! Don’t do that sort of thing when I’m the one watching over you! Or at least don’t do it in a space where I can see you! It disgusts me!
Penelope looked away from Dorea with a disgusted face as she answered her.
“Yes, my trip was eventful. And don’t be silly, how can anything ever harm me in that useless mortal world. I only watched their demise and left before any of them could sully me with their disgusting filthy bodies. But I suppose nothing was remaining of them after their sun imploded in that supernova. It was quite glorious.”
Dorea couldn’t help the anger that rose inside of her as she heard how Penelope was describing people that died. People that Penelope was supposedly looking over. Some special worlds had Celestials that look over them because of some special circumstance. These worlds would usually be able to ask for aid from a Celestial or even pray to a Celestial for help.
But this is always how it is with the Celestials. Even that scientist from before was the same. None of them see mortals as anything but entertainment. They only see mortals as cattle that exist for their amusement. And the worst thing about it was that they were strong enough to uphold that image of themselves. Only the strong make the rules and it was obvious that the Celestials were the strongest there ever were.
But not for long. Han is coming for all of you. Very soon he will end you all! But until then, I’ll just play my part and wait.
Dorea bowed as she thanked Penelope for her hard work. Penelope only spared her a glance before she ignored her as she began to walk away. A Celestial truly shouldn’t have to do a job as lowly as watching over a human, but it is just her bad luck that she has to watch over this fake Celestial. Dorea was never considered a true Celestial by the others so they all called her a fake. Penelope hated it when she was told to watch over Dorea, but she decided not to complain too much since Yggrain was the one that asked. He is quite scary after all. Well, whatever. Dorea is amusing enough to watch anyway, so I guess I’ll just allow her to keep entertaining me for now!
