Chapter 449: Temporary Peace Plan
Sylvia felt that she was getting some strange looks from the humans around her, but she simply ignored them as if she didn\'t care. After all, she knows why it happened, namely because of her blood-red eyes.
"Psst, father, is that red eyed girl a devil? Or maybe, an ordinary girl with cursed eyes?" Theo whispered softly under his breath when no attention was paid to him.
"I don\'t know either. That girl is quite strange because she purposely sealed her magic and aura. But, I think all is well since there are two Goddesses here. Please pay attention to your attitude. This is a most honorable dinner." Arthur replied with a whisper-like voice. But, he sent his voice straight into his son\'s ears.
"I see..." Theo just shook his head to put his thoughts aside. If that girl was indeed a devil, wouldn\'t that be an act of suicide? This room was protected by many hidden experts and was also attended by two divine beings!
"..." Theo\'s attention was drawn to Elysia and the baby Goddess. This lovely girl would definitely make a perfect mother. Very beautiful, talented, gentle, kind, very caring, and good at cooking.
"Would you please allow me to feed you, or would you like to eat by yourself?" Elysia asked the baby on her lap.
"Mm, treat me to your best service." Rhea nodded in agreement. She was comfortable enough to be pampered by Elysia. Still, she needed to be a little lofty in front of others.
"Then, please say aah~" Elysia scooped the warm food into Rhea\'s mouth.
"Ah." Of course, Rhea obeyed like an obedient baby.
"..." Theo only sighed because Elysia had too much risk, but that wasn\'t without opportunity. After that, he glanced at Evelyn, the girl he was most likely to approach, but the truth was the hardest to get along with.
"Well, at least being friends is fine, right? I don\'t know what the future holds. But, at least, I need to take the first step." Theo convinced himself to get along with these unique girls.
After the warm dinner was over, Ella and Evelyn cleaned the dining table. They went to the kitchen to wash the dirty tableware.
"Nee, do we have this many guests? We got an additional five people, but we only have three bedrooms in total..." Evelyn returned to the living room and looked at the extra people near Emperor Arthur and Pope Alexander.
"Haha, worry not. We only came to visit and didn\'t stay overnight. But, hahaha, old man, you\'re going to stay here overnight, right? Or are you going to come with me to my palace?" Arthur threw a light joke at Alexander. He knew that the Holy Cathedral had just been renovated, including the Celestine Family\'s private residence.
"You can go back to your palace with your group without me. I told my granddaughter I\'d be staying at, err, this apartment tonight." Alexander stroked his long white beard.
"Then, grandfather and Sir Maximilian will share the room with Gio! Meanwhile Miss Ariel will join us." Ella clasped her hands with a sweet smile.
"Gio?" Alexander\'s gaze fell on the huge dragon-like man.
"Hmm?" Gio felt a glance directed at him. He turned his head back, but he just kept quiet and didn\'t care about the old man anymore.
"Mother, mother, you need to see the souvenirs I got from Ely earlier. They are so beautiful and attractive." Evelyn pulled her mother\'s hand into the room.
"All right, all right, I will come with you." Isabelle smiled helplessly and obeyed her daughter\'s wishes.
"Erm, mother, I want to show you the souvenirs I got from Ely. Would you like to see them with me?" Ella grasped her hand. She politely asked her mother to come with her.
"Ara, souvenirs from Elysia? Hum, are these souvenirs from foreign continents?" Lucia glanced at Elysia for confirmation.
"Mm, those souvenirs are from Fairy, Elven, Beastkin, or Beast Continent. Those items are completely safe and I guarantee that." Elysia nodded innocently. She misinterpreted Lucia\'s expression and gaze.
"Ufufu, I\'m not worried about the safety because the souvenirs are from you. Thank you for looking after and caring for my daughter, Elysia. Well then, please excuse me." Lucia rose from her seat to comply with her daughter\'s request. The two of them went to the bedroom to follow Evelyn.
"Ho-hoho, it\'s a bit surprising you still had time to prepare some souvenirs for your friends, Elysia." Alexander laughed lightly.
"Mm, I made a promise to Ella and Eve." Elysia nodded slightly to confirm.
"Hm, well, if I may ask, after traveling between continents with the divines, what are your views on the other races, Elysia?" Alexander stopped stroking his beard and looked Elysia straight in the eye as if it was a serious conversation.
"Honestly, I think every race can actually live in peace. However, \'they\' are the ones who decided to wage war for their own reasons. The causes are too many and varied, but hatred is the cause.
All conflicts will never end if they do not wish for peace. The divines won\'t meddle too much in that matter since it\'s their choice." Elysia glanced up slightly and expressed what she got after seeing the other continents with her own eyes.
"All conflicts will never end if they themselves don\'t hope for peace, huh... The grudges are too deep and ingrained. Peace is only a temporary thing. Although the Human Race will have a truce with the Devil Race, it is simply to face the inevitable. After that, there\'s no guarantee that the truce will last as the reasons are obvious." Arthur folded his arms across his chest with a flat expression.
"..." Elysia decided not to say anything in response to that comment because it was true. Even Nell wasn\'t willing to get involved too much to make every race live in peace. Since it was the choice of each race, then there was nothing to do but temporary peace.
"..." Nell and Rhea also decided to remain silent since their stances were evident, as Elysia described. Even Lifa didn\'t seem to want to get involved in the affairs of this world.
After that, Alexander, Arthur, and everyone had a nightly conversation with Elysia and the two Goddesses. It was the highest honor for the mortals to spend that long conversing with two divine beings.
When Ella and Evelyn returned to the living room with their mothers, they just mingled and joined in on the conversation.
As the night grew late, Nell decided that was the end of their night conversation. "Alright, that\'s all from us. I fully understand what\'s going on in the world, but any strife must stop to face those accursed monsters. Succeed or death, only two possibilities will await us in about three months.
Revenge in any form must be toned down for whatever reason and cause, even if it\'s only temporary. It\'s getting late. You\'d better have a good rest tonight."
"Understood." Arthur nodded and took a deep breath. After that, he rose from his seat. His son and two of his confidants followed suit. "With that being said, allow us to excuse ourselves."
"Mm, you can go." Nell pointed her palm at the exit.
Arthur took a glance at the Goddess of Nature and the Goddess of Blessings. He seemed to want to say something vital and private, but he decided to bring back what he wanted to say tomorrow morning. Or rather, he would come before the divine beings again tomorrow morning.
"Ten o\'clock? Wow, time flies really fast." Sylvia checked the clock. "Is it time for us to sleep now?"
"Yeah, girls need seven to eight hours of pretty sleep. You girls better go to bed now." Alexander nodded and leaned back on the sofa.
"Alright, let\'s go to the bedroom~ The Goddesses, Ely, come on. A beautiful morning awaits us tomorrow." Sylvia was excited that she would be sharing a room with two divine beings and her friend! Not alone or a nuisance from that creepy Devil God!
"En." Elysia stood with Rhea in her arms. She went to the bedroom with Sylvia, Nell followed right behind.
Vanessa also ran after her master into the room.
Ella, Evelyn, and almost everyone in the living room felt a little envious. However, they could do nothing but watch. After that, Evelyn and Ella also decided to sleep, with their mothers, of course. Ariel followed closely behind.
Only Alexander, Maximilian, Gio, and the two little brown cats remained in the living room.
As Gio and the two brown cats headed into the guest room, Alexander glanced at their backs. It was a little funny because the two cats were actually Saint Beasts from the Winged Tiger Clan. And again, the dark brown one had the same name as the prince, Arthur\'s son.
"Are we going to sleep here, Holy Grandfather?" Maximilian ventured to ask.
"That\'s yes for me. If you would like to go to the guest room, then go ahead." Alexander pointed his palm to the guest room.
"Then I\'ll be here too." Maximilian decided without a second thought. He felt unsafe sleeping near that dragon-like man.
Meanwhile, Sylvia was lying on the sofa with a blanket wrapped around her in Elysia\'s room. She could not be on the soft bed because the two Goddesses were there, and Elysia cared for them like a nanny.
It would be a little scary if she accidentally crushed them in sleep. After all, one was a fairy-like Goddess, and the other was a baby.
"Good night Goddesss, Ely. I\'m sure I\'ll have a nice dream tonight." Sylvia closed her eyes with a smile.
"Mm, good night." Elysia gave a blanket to sleepy Rhea.
\'Ely, sleep with me tonight. I want to hug you to sleep after a real pillow talk.\' Elena suddenly asked in a compelling voice.
