The silence inside the cabinet meeting room broke as soon as Lady Minerva left the meeting room. The people left behind could do nothing but discuss what had happened with each other. After all, they had no clarification about anything that had happened. And neither did the shadow guards indulge them when they asked the question. “Heh, how interesting. It seems like the old hag has found herself in a pinch. Maybe we should go and investigate what is happening?” Mei sounded rather amused at the turn…

Aurora was not having a good day. She had thought that she would be safe after the first inspection had been done but she could not be more wrong. She was sure that the guards had an agenda against her because someone kept on knocking at her door and trying to enter for inspection every few minutes. -baam “Open the door. It’s the inspection squad.” This was the fourth time someone was at her door. They just kept on coming and Aurora had given up at this point. “How many times are you going to…

“How boring. Why does Minerva insist on doing this every time? And she is late as well.” Karan could only shake his head at the calamity’s goddess. She was too much for him to handle in this early morning. Things could get difficult with her anytime and Karan was not in a mood to pacify her if she decided to go berserk. “I’m sure Minerva has her reasons. Personally, I don’t mind her being late. It will mean that the meeting was cut short and I like that.” Karan was not lazy by nature. He…

Minerva took her time observing the basement room she had taken so much pain in organizing. She had shed blood, sweat, and tears to make it as theft-proof as possible. But in the end, it seemed to not have mattered to those who broke in here and made a mess of things. And for that, they needed to die. Minerva would teach them a lesson as soon as she finds out who did this to her. “Lady Minerva, the cabinet meeting is about to start. What should I tell the other members?” Lady Minerva had forbidden…

For the second time in her life, Astoria wondered if she had been wrong about Aurora. Maybe the female had sold her out to the other gods Lord Karan’s grinning face would certainly indicate this fact. And it would also explain what the other good was doing in Aurora’s room. “Lord Karan and I are childhood friends. No, more importantly, he is not even Lord Karan but someone else stuck inside his body.” Aurora’s explanation sounded wild and Astoria should not be believing her. But there was no…

Aurora had done it. She has successfully pulled off one of the biggest thefts in human history. She had successfully stolen from the tower and walked away alive to tell the tale. Aurora eyes the warm egg on her bed. The aura of contentment it gave off was getting stronger by the second. “I just need to wait for Astoria to come back now. And then we can leave this place. But what should I do about Karan?” Aurora was not sure how to proceed with the situation now. It was true that she had attained…

The underground area was as dark as Maria had expected. The only source of light was the side lamps lighting the wall. Their magic was strong but not enough to repel Aurora away from the source of heavy magic she was feeling. If this was the dragon’s magic, Aurora could see why the human race was so afraid of it. The condensed mana down here would rival any goddess. If not for the protection of her powers, Aurora was sure she would not even be conscious to make it this far. And it also made sense why…

The male guard looked a little flushed. But he also seemed to be built similar to her. And it gave Aurora a solution to her problem. “Ah, sure. Can you follow behind me? I need to sit down to show you the pass.” The guard followed behind her nervously. Maybe he could sense that something was wrong. Or he could tell that he was not going to like what was about to happen. But the guard immediately tried to fall once Aurora shut the door close behind her. It was a passable effort. But the guard did…

“Stop looking at me like that,” Aurora complain. “Stop looking at you like what?” Karan replied. That teasing smile on this face grew in volume. “Stop with your creepy smile. Don’t you have work to do? Won’t someone come looking for you if you disappeared for so long?” Aurora questioned. Rumors only needed a short time to begin circulation in a sealed environment. She was sure that everyone in the tower knew about her and Karan. Thankfully, nothing major would result from this rumor…

“M-My lord? Ah, I mean, Lord Karan. Shouldn’t you be in the meeting? Lady Astoria just left for it. I can take her guest to his room.” The female guard tried to reason. Her words sounded reasonable. But unfortunately for her, she was barking up the wrong tree. Her body refused to cooperate once the good locked his terrifying stare on her face. It was a gentle smile that was aimed at her but she still felt like an animal being caught by a predator. “The meeting? You’re right. There is still…
