Chapter 121.1: Sisters, What Happens if I Get Pregnant by Accident? (1)

Ever since she returned from the Deep Tundra, Edaline felt increasingly uncomfortable. Helpless, she could only follow Rayne's suggestion and apply for leave to stop her mission temporarily.

The burden of her original work was shared by Histia and Beth.

Thankfully…

They did not ask for the exact reason.

There was no doubt that splitting her divinity and rejecting the goddess's use of her body was the most treacherous act of betrayal.

Furthermore, Rayne had also instructed Edaline not to expose this matter at this stage.

It was especially so towards Histia.

Two days had passed since Edaline returned to the capital.

For Edaline, recuperating in the capital was something that was extremely boring. Furthermore, she had to tolerate a fool jumping around in front of her.

Recently, Edgeworth had a new business.

He instigated Leta's elves to kill Rayne.

During this period of time, Grand Prince Edgeworth was rather active. He either hid at home laughing incessantly as though he had suffered a stroke or he would sneak out to meet Leta's envoy.

Edaline could not understand this guy.

On the one hand, Edgeworth seemed to acknowledge the strength of Edaline and felt that as long as he had the latter's support, he would definitely be able to win the crystal throne.

However, on the other hand, he seemed to have completely underestimated the strength of Edaline as well.

Each time this fella met with the elf envoy, he thought that everything would be dandy and great as long as he left the capital and escaped from the detection range of ordinary demigods.

However…

The range of Edaline's perception was more than three times that of ordinary demigods.

Every single detail of Edgeworth's plot with the elves and every single one of his subtle actions had never escaped from the surveillance of Edaline.

Right now, Edgeworth had obtained the skull of the Main God of the elves, Compassion, from somewhere and was using it as bait, hoping that the elves would kill Rayne for him.

In the entire mortal world, attempting to murder the Prince of Haines was an extremely suicidal act for any country.

However, Edaline felt that…

This deal would work eventually.

It was not because Edaline had high hopes for the courage of the Leta elves nor was it because she believed in Edgeworth's level of diplomacy.

It was because…

There was a high chance that everything was part of Rayne's plan.

Putting aside the trivial matter of the grand prince…

Recently, Edaline was truly free.

The wild entertainment of the capital could not interest her at all. Unable to see the mushroom clouds generated by the forbidden curses, everything else felt dull to Edaline.

Furthermore, Rayne even abandoned her to go to Leta to have fun with those pointy ears.

Now that she was so free, Edaline could only kill time by watching her Imperial Guard sisters chat on the communication channel.

Long-distance spell communication was an extremely luxurious thing in the mortal world.

A premium communication magical tool was extremely expensive and could even be compared to a permanent barrier that could block the perception of a demigod.

However, this was naturally nothing for the Imperial Guards.

Furthermore, the Imperial Guards had their own communication spells that were even more reliable than magical tools. They connected the channels between the gaps in space directly to achieve stable communication without any delays in the entire mortal world.

Every day, apart from a few work exchanges, the Imperial Guards spent most of their time chatting.

[Lilia: The Territorial Lord of Saints County colluded with the garrison to embezzle money from the army. I've locked onto a few masterminds and I'm ready to raid them! Everyone, hurry over!]

[Edaline: Embezzled money again?]

[Lilia: There's no other way. The dumb commoners feel that the army is useless and always want us to finish up the dirty work. Hehehe, they can't blame us for collecting some interest though. I heard that one of the families has a map of some ancient ruins, interesting. Who else is interested?]

Lilia alone was more than enough to deal with a few mortals.

Her invitation was a social interaction on the level of 'Shall we drink tonight?' or 'Where shall we go shopping this weekend?' for mortals.

[Lilia: Edaline, do you want to come?]

[Edaline: Nah, I'm recuperating.]

Edaline was not interested in this matter.

Firstly, it was not satisfying to trample on a group of mortals. Secondly, she was sick and was not suitable to take part in the battle.

But soon, the other Imperial Guards replied as well.

[Beth: I've been a little busy recently… Lilia, remember to differentiate between sinners and not kill the innocent.]

[Thea: Good luck.]

Seeing that no one wanted to have fun with her, Lilia could only place her hopes on her best friend.

[Lilia: Sister Hela, do you want to come? This is a good deal!]

Hela who was called out finally spoke after a while.

[Hela: By the way, I have a question.]

Among this generation's Imperial Guards, Lilia and Hela were fundamentalist Imperial Guards. They were both similarly keen on making money and looting the savings of the citizens. As such, they were extremely close.

Lilia was delighted when she saw Hela's reply. Or rather, Hela was her target audience to begin with when she sent this message.

Unfortunately…

Edaline smiled helplessly.

Unfortunately, at that moment, Lilia did not realize it.

Her only comrade had already graduated from the pursuit of fame and fortune.

[Lilia: Is there something wrong, Sister Hela? Feel free to ask for any details about the battle! This trip will definitely be worth it!]

[Hela: Say, what happens if I get pregnant?]

[Lilia: ?????]

Pfft…

Edaline laughed.

[Lilia: H-Hold on. Sister Hela, why are you suddenly talking about this?! Let's go make some money!]

[Hela: I'm not free right now.]

[Lilia: ?????]

Lilia was shocked. Her world view had suffered a huge blow—how could her dear Sister Hela reject the temptation of money?!

At that moment…

In the channel, another Imperial Guard spoke.

[Beth: Why is Sister Hela suddenly asking about this?]
