Madeleine walked out of the banquet hall to enter a hallway with such a high ceiling and windows it was almost like its own world.
Clinging to Deliaās arm lovingly, she glanced out of the tall windows to look at the calm night sky sprinkling gentle moonlight into an elegant garden.
They were currently in the Royal God Clanās main palace, invited by the prince of this generation.
Martial artists lived for so long that there was no real point in ranking royalty until the current monarch neared the end of his life. As such, princes and princesses were just divided into their generation as opposed to how likely they were to inherit the throne.
In reality, this worked the best. After all, if you lived thousands of years, you could have hundreds of children if you were so inclined⦠so, instead of constantly switching the crown prince for a newborn who happened to have more talent, you could just make a single choice when the time was appropriate.
So, the heads of Royal God Clans always waited to the end of their lives to make a decision. As such, this allowed the strife for supremacy among siblings to be tempered down from what it could be⦠it would be at least another millennia or two before the current Head of Planet Earth began to show signs of old age.
But, a head with so many years ahead of him also came with the ambition to match itā¦
Madeleineās thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Deliaās sigh. āI miss Meiying, big sisterā¦ā
A sad look appeared of Madeleineās features. āI miss her too⦠unfortunately, thereās not much we can do⦠The Bai and Daiyu clan have been constant enemies in recent years. Itās just sad that Elder Bai sacrificed his daughter for the sake of peaceā¦ā
If Dyon knew about the clashes between the Daiyu and Bai clans, he would have been confused⦠a rare emotion for him.
To Dyon, there was no way that the Bai clan could stand up to the Daiyu clan at full strength. The only explanation was that the Daiyu clan was feigning weakness all while making covert moves⦠covert moves that for some reason involved Bai Meiying who was now Chengleiās second wife.
In fact, Dyon was unaware that Meiying was the second wife. Because if he knew this⦠his perspective on everything would change⦠Change so much that he would laugh until his sides split, right before his rage burned like an endless fire for Meiyingās sakeā¦
Suddenly, a gentle gust of wind passed by, appearing as Madeleineās master.
Madeleine released Delia, bowing respectfully. āMaster.ā
Ester Sapientia sighed. āWhy do you do this, Madeleine? You know I have your best interest at heart.ā
Madeleineās brows furrowed. She loved her master, she had done so much for her⦠but this was getting to be too much for her to handle.
āMaster I donāt understand. If youāre so sure that time will wash my feelings away, why are you acting like this now? Isnāt a year but a blink of an eye for you? If youāre so set in your beliefs, why canāt you wait until Iām a hundred years old? What about two hundred? Is that not still considered to be young?ā
Madeleineās master sighed. The truth was that Madeleineās logic was flawless. But, the problem wasnāt whether Madeleineās feelings were real or not, it was about how dangerous it was to be with Dyon. But, this was a secret she was bound against telling. So, she could only act as though she was an unfeeling master who cared not for Madeleineās thoughts and feelings.
āDo you think that because he was lucky enough to stumble into the remains of a dead clan that he deserves to be with the first in line genius of the Sapientia God Clan? Do you have any idea why I feel like Iāve accomplished nothing in my life? Itās because you canāt imagine the scale of a clan like ours. The fact we call ourselves a God Clan here is laughable.ā
Delia looked at Madeleine worriedly. Regardless of whether Ester was Madeleineās master or not, she was still a saint level expert. Angering her was not a good idea.
But, all she found was Madeleineās calm continence.
āMaster, Iām not sure what youāre trying to hide from me⦠but I know you arenāt like thisā¦.
āRegardless of what problems or dangers you think are associated with Dyon, it doesnāt matter to me. I will choose him whether I know or donāt know. Whether it leads to my death or my glory. Even if I were to find out tomorrow that Dyon was no match for even the weakest of geniuses here today⦠that he had lost his arms and his legs⦠that his handsome face was cut and burnt beyond recognition⦠I would still choose him.ā
Madeleineās master inwardly trembled, listening to the words of her disciple, but⦠she maintained her calm outer appearance.
Ester Sapientia sighed looking at her discipleās calm appearance. To her, Madeleine was the daughter she never had⦠watching her run head first into danger was something she wasnāt willing to see. As such, she maintained a cold exterior.
āI donāt approve. Nor will I approve. You can continue to play your game of house. But, if I see heās taken your virginity, Iāll kill him.
āOnce enough time passes, youāll realize he isnāt worth your time. Heās nothing compared to the geniuses inside that room. And definitely, nothing compared to the prince that invited you here todayā¦ā
Although Ester couldnāt use her senses to check for Madeleineās virginity like Dyon could⦠there were many other tools, although expensive, that could do the same job.
Before Ester could continue, she suddenly felt Madeleine move as she walked passed her⦠stunning Ester out of her rant. āYou really dare to disrespect me as your master like this?ā¦ā
However, she never got the chance to voice her concerns. āIām the best genius the Sapientia God Clan has to offer in the universe. In fact, Iām among the best geniuses in this universe period. Aside from those with faith seeds, I am unmatched.
āI will give my virginity to whomever I want to give it to. Iāll love whoever it is I want to love.ā
Madeleineās Goddessā Disposition suddenly raged to life, endless twinkling lights and purity beyond words reigned down in the hallway.
āIf my Dyon is hurt by anyone of the Sapientia God Clan, even if itās you, I will bide my time. Whether that take centuries or millennia. Then, Iāll kill you.ā
