Chapter 301: Request for Help
Elysia realized that Ella was troubled by specific unexplained thoughts since Nell accidentally blurted out about grandgodmaster a while ago.
At that time, no one questioned Ella anymore because the girl didn\'t explain much. However, when the question had come like this, then Elysia needed to know the reason.
"Umm, just like the statement I gave earlier. It is a duty and destiny that comes for the girl of the Celestine Family. I have been taught to dedicate everything to the Goddess of Blessings." Ella clasped her hands on the table, and everyone\'s attention came to her.
"This is an open secret for the upper-class aristocrats. Every girl born in the Celestine Family will be appointed as an angel by the Goddess. Their soul and body are only dedicated to the divine as loyal servants.
According to historical records, the Goddess of Blessings will provide guidance through dreams for that after the girl turns 22 years old.
However, it looks like the case will be a little different for me. I am the ninth girl in my family history, but I get the honor of meeting the Goddess of Blessings in person and this early.
I became very confused because the Goddess of Blessings called your master grandgodmaster, Ely... I don\'t know what that means, but I feel lost." Ella slightly lowered her head while taking a soft breath.
"I- I see... Thank you for letting me know, Ella. It\'s quite a shock for me. So, you will become an angel and a devout follower of the Goddess of Blessings. It\'s similar to the relationship between master and disciple, right?" Elysia put her hand on her chin as she thought.
Ella thought for a moment, but she didn\'t know her term because she hadn\'t got any guidance yet. "Uhm, well... I don\'t really understand either, but it might be similar to that, Ely. The Goddess of Blessings will guide the girls of the Celestine Family to reach Saint-level or beyond."
"Nee, Ella... Dedicating everything to the Goddess of Blessings, including your body and soul? Why do I think it\'s a bit too much for the girl born in the Celestine Family? So, your life is only to worship and serve the Goddess?" Evelyn frowned, and she needed some clarification to get rid of her suspicions.
"My life belongs to the Goddess of Blessings. When I reach Saint-level as an angel, I will get the glory to enter the Firmament Realm, the world where the Goddess of Blessings lives. Maybe, I can meet my eight predecessors and seniors there, hehe..." Ella chuckled as she covered her mouth gracefully.
"Wait, Ella. Why do you feel lost? If so, doesn\'t that have nothing to do with what the Goddess of Blessings said earlier? You\'re still in your faith and belief." Elysia became increasingly clueless.
"Hmm, if the Goddess of Light is the Goddess of Blessings\' master, then I will need to give my obeisance and devotion to the two Goddesses? I really need to know that, Ely. But, I dare not ask the Goddess of Blessings. Please forgive me." Ella had an innocent and sincere expression that embellished her slight confusion.
Ella\'s statement took the others by surprise, and Ariel was the one who was the most dumbfounded. If it was true, then it couldn\'t be better. However, some other confusion came shortly after.
"I see... Unfortunately, you need to ask the Goddess of Blessings directly, Ella." After saying that, Elysia noticed Ella\'s change in expression, becoming somewhat absent-minded. Then, she continued her words. "Okay, I\'ll help you to ask that later."
"Um, thanks, Ely. I really appreciate that." Ella smiled with a bright expression. She no longer needed to be confused.
"Okay, let\'s tidy this up. I want to catch up with everything. Time to work, I\'m sure my work has piled up." Elysia got up from her seat and put the plates into the serving trolley.
"En, I\'ll help you."
"Me too. I\'m a helpful assistant."
Ella and Evelyn immediately helped Elysia clean the dining table before taking care of the pile of documents. They were absent from work for three days after all.
Rosie and Ariel also helped tidy up the dining table. Nevertheless, they didn\'t go to the workroom with Elysia and Elysia\'s two assistants out of consideration.
To fill their spare time, Rosie and Fran asked Ariel and Maximilian for guidance and advice. It wasn\'t every day they could spend exclusive time with Saint-level experts.
Simultaneously, Elysia and her friends were working on documents. She exchanged words with Elena in their spirit connection without eavesdropping. Instead, she got a lot of batches of information from Elena that she needed to process.
At that moment, Elysia suddenly felt like she had forgotten or missed something. It was just, she couldn\'t remember what it was.
"Nee, Ella, Eve... Did we forget something?" Elysia scratched her head in confusion.
Ella and Evelyn exchanged glances with clueless expressions. Then, Evelyn shook her head slightly at her best friend. "Hm? I guess there\'s nothing we forgot, Ely. What made you think that?"
"I don\'t really understand either. The wind suddenly came, and I felt like I had forgotten something. However, I can\'t remember it, no matter how many times I try. It may be a person or an item." Elysia glanced up while patting her chin with her dainty finger.
"If you forget it, then take a moment without trying to remember it. At the right time, you\'ll know what was forgotten. I used to do the trick if I felt like I forgot something, Ely. You can try that." Ella kindly advised, then returned to write something in a document.
"Well, if you can\'t remember a thing you forgot after trying many times, then it may be insignificant or unimportant, Ely." Evelyn spun the pen in her hand as she suggested a solution she used to do. When the effort had been made, but the forgotten thing couldn\'t be remembered, she would only shrug her shoulders and move forward.
"I get the point." Elysia nodded in understanding. She no longer tried to figure out what she had forgotten. "Ella, please send a message to Grandpa, your grandfather, regarding the exact place and time of the top-level meeting."
"Okay." Ella took out a talisman and carried out Elysia\'s request right away.
After the writing that she wrote disappeared, she got an instant reply from her grandfather. "Wow, grandfather replied so fast. Let\'s see... Ah, it will be held at the Imperial Palace at one o\'clock. Hm? There are other replies. Wait a moment."
Elysia and Evelyn waited patiently. They just watched Ella send and receive a few messages via the magic talisman.
Finished with the message, Ella shared the contents of the news with her friends. "Hum-hm, there will be a carriage to pick us up. However, we should leave 30 minutes before the appointed time."
"Nice. We\'ll tell that to my master and the Goddess of Blessings when they\'re done." Elysia gave an approving nod and went back to taking care of business documents.
Two hours had passed since Elena and Nell went to the guest room for some of their private time. Inside the protected and layered room, a golden cocoon was standing upright on the table.
Elena was forced to wrap up Nell because the latter gave incomplete information several times in a rush.
Nell wanted to make her request, but Elena wanted last month\'s promise to be kept first. After being wrapped in a golden cocoon, Nell could only surrender and follow the oppressive Goddess\'s request.
"I have told so much and answered everything you ask. And again, it\'s been two hours! Now please free me from this golden cocoon, or I will rebel with my magic." Nell was jumping up and down. She tried to get the attention of the Goddess in front of her.
Elena came out of her contemplation and freed Nell as requested with a snap of her finger. She knew quite a lot, at least enough to equip herself and Elysia with broad insights.
"Thank you for keeping your promise to share your insights and knowledge with me, Nell." Elena rested her hands on the table while looking at Nell making a small chair out of the air.
Although the information she and Elysia got was not detailed, it was still beneficial for their insight.
"Of course, I will keep my promise. But! Why am I still wrapped in a cocoon again? Did you grow fond of seeing me wrapped until only my head is visible?" Nell pursed her lips and folded her arms.
"Saa, who knows. Although part of it is your fault, little one. Anyway, five divine beings are still alive, huh..." Elena opened her hand upwards with a reassuring smile.
"Hey, why are you calling me with that nickname again? But aren\'t there six divine beings? You need to be counted too, El- grandgodmaster?" Nell blinked rapidly with a puzzled expression. She tried to count one more time.
"Ah, you are right. Very well, let\'s go back to the request you meant earlier. It has something to do with your big sister? The Goddess with the nickname parasite?" Elena leaned back on the sofa, wanting to know more.
"No, please don\'t use that ugly nickname like that annoying Evil God. My big sister is actually my sworn sister. She is so nice to me. Yes, my request has something to do with my big sister. I need your help." Nell folded her hands in her lap. She looked at the Goddess of Light with an imploring gaze.
"Request for help? You are aware of your big sister\'s existence, but you haven\'t actually met her in your month-long exploration, have you? Hmm, let\'s hear a little detail about that." Elena tilted her head slightly, and curiosity sparkled in her eyes. She wondered about what happened to Nell\'s sworn elder sister, and so did Elysia.
