125. Master Is a Dummy!
Reina was concerned about whether Pesa was testing her.
To reveal such important information in front of the Dragon King…
No matter how she looked at it, it was suspicious, and it even contradicted her naive and clueless stereotype, which made Reina wary.
Moreover, lately, the Pope’s actions had been so subtle that they were hard to fathom.
Reina was certain that he was definitely not on the God Slaying Society’s side. Although they had a good relationship on the surface, that was all.
“I’m sorry… ah, wait…”
Pesa’s face turned pale.
She didn’t know if she was frightened by Calysia’s killing intent, or if she had realized she had said the wrong thing.
Reina’s perception was fully open. Now she even wanted to use the [Eye of Light] to see if she was lying. Unfortunately, human behavior was unpredictable, and she couldn’t see through people’s minds like a detective solving a case. And besides, psychology wasn’t mind reading…
“I’m sorry… I, my mind is full of… filth, I’m sorry…”
“I…”
Pesa’s whole body was trembling. She wanted to explain something, but couldn’t say anything. She didn’t lower her head, but looked at Reina… as if with a single glimmer of hope, hoping that the Goddess of Light would clear her name and prove her innocence.
The consequences of angering the Dragon King were simple. This strongest creature actually had the highest say among the Four Realms. Her strength could even ignore rules and discipline, and she could even kill and destroy emotionally without anyone stopping her.
At least, this was the stereotype humans had of the Dragon King, and Reina knew this stereotype like the back of her hand.
In their eyes, the Dragon King was such a bottomless, evil existence. Perhaps the only one who could escape this impression was Agnes.
Simply put, Pesa was afraid that the Dragon King would kill her.
Her brown hair was tied in a cute little braid today, and she wore a white dress. Because church prayers generally didn’t involve dark clothes, saying that this was a sign of respect for the Goddess of Light, her appearance was like she was trying to make a good impression on the Goddess.
Such a pitiful little girl.
But Reina still couldn’t easily trust her.
Unless…
She could use the [Eye of Light] to see if she was lying. That would be much more convenient.
But just then, Reina discovered…
She subconsciously opened her eyes. Although she was a little unaccustomed, it was pitch black behind the blindfold…
But she discovered that she could see things.
Originally, after her eyes were damaged, she couldn’t even see a speck of light, but now she could perceive light.
So, Reina lifted her blindfold.
At this moment, her eyes were open.
—They were a pair of azure pupils like the sky. After retracting her dragon features, they still retained their beautiful, crystal-like patterns, but there was a beautiful cross pattern at the bottom of her eyes.
Reina subconsciously used a portion of the [Eye of Light] to look at herself.
—This was the symbol of the Goddess of Light.
Could it be that Calysia’s method had worked?!
Although she had opened her eyes, she was somewhat disappointed.
She could indeed see things, but her vision was very limited.
It was like having severe myopia. In her eyes, the whole world was blurry.
Unless she activated the [Eye of Light], the difference from being blind wasn’t very large.
But what was important was that Reina could now see the outline of an object, although it wasn’t clear, at least she knew something was approaching her.
“So beautiful~”
The person approaching her was Calysia.
And as if out of surprise, or perhaps eagerness, Reina’s vision became clearer!
So, for the first time since losing her sight, she saw Calysia’s beautiful face with her real eyes, not with the [Eye of Light] that consumed magic power and a large amount of mental energy.
Calysia’s beautiful purple crystal eyes were full of joy, but a hint of imperceptible sadness and nostalgia flashed across them. But even if her emotions were fleeting, they were easily captured by Reina.
“Goddess, you…”
Agnes’s voice was also a little excited…
Now, Reina’s eyes were exactly like a goddess’s.
But before Reina could be happy, her vision became blurry again.
“Mmph…”
It was as if she had to deliberately “focus” each time, and keeping her vision clear seemed to be something that required practice.
Reina closed her eyes. It seemed that fully recovering her vision was still a pipe dream, at least not so soon.
But…
[Place of Prayer]
Reina chanted silently while also starting to think about Calysia’s appearance.
Then…
The world fell silent.
…
Reina could open her eyes.
She was used to it.
After all, two days before laying the dragon egg, because her belly was a little swollen, she had tried to enter the [Place of Prayer] to complain to Calysia… while she was still working.
But because the time in the Place of Prayer was completely isolated from the outside world, staying there would only increase her pain, and it would also disturb Calysia’s work, so Reina would just ask for a few words of comfort and then leave… Of course, this was all for the baby, not for herself.
Reina looked around.
…She was actually in a university campus.
And she was wearing a cute shirt. Her white thighs under her short pants looked particularly charming in the light. She was sitting on the sunniest sofa in the school library.
She was holding a book titled “The Evil Dragon XXXXXX.” This was a book she had found on Calysia’s bookshelf before.
However, this was the first time she had seen the cover of this book.
In the corner of a nearby bookshelf, two girls were whispering. They didn’t seem to be chatting about some strange gossip… but were looking at each other, their faces close.
But unfortunately, like all the other passersby, their faces, which should have been filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, were still a blur, as if they were just randomly generated NPCs.
And as if they had never existed in this world, full of falsehood and lies.
No matter how carefully Reina observed, she couldn’t see what they looked like, which was unsettling.
The good news was that she was sitting on the sofa in the library, which was quite quiet. No one was disturbing her quiet afternoon tea time.
Calysia arrived five seconds after Reina entered the [Place of Prayer] and sat beside her.
—She was wearing a pleated short skirt and a light pink sweater, her stunningly beautiful legs adorned with white stockings. She was carrying a small crossbody bag with a panda design, looking just like a common energetic young girl, but much more beautiful than an ordinary person, especially her long silver-white hair, which was intoxicating and mesmerizing.
“Little Reina~, how does it feel to have your sight back?”
“Hehe,” of course she was overjoyed, “thank you, Master!” The second half of the sentence was left unsaid.
“Master, it seems to have worked… but has my Light level increased?”
“No,” Calysia said, looking at the palm of her right hand, and concluded.
“Then what about the Dragon Mark?”
“Level 98,” Calysia blinked, her expression flickering, and said nonchalantly.
“…”
…As expected, this person was just trying to trick her into leveling up!
Clearly, incubating the egg had increased her affection score too much… If this continued, she would probably really lose!
Reina, exasperated, crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks:
“Master is a dummy!”
