44. The Voice in Her Head
Reina recalled the events at Lekadis.
She had turned and walked away in front of Elena.
Actually, a large part of the reason was caused by her own anxiety.
And with her mind in a mess, she couldn’t restrain the pride and self-esteem in her dragon heart. Otherwise, she would have probably directly confronted Elena.
And now, her turning and walking away seemed to have had a special effect.
“Indeed, thank you for your consideration,” Reina replied to her previous sentence, but she didn’t fully answer.
“Teacher Bud, if it weren’t for you, I might still be an ordinary person now.”
Elena sat with her legs together, her jade-like neck leaning forward slightly, with the temperament of a noble young lady. These were all things she had taught herself.
Reina knew that she had no parents and no family background.
But she knew very well how to learn.
“How do you define [ordinary]?”
“Different. Now many people pay attention to me, envy me, and believe in me. It’s precisely because of Teacher Bud’s success that my goal is for your ideas to become popular all over the world. I want humanity to remember… in my own way.”
“So, Teacher Bud, cooperate with me. I am definitely the reader in this world who understands you the most. Together, we can spread your love to the whole world. This is also my purpose.”
Reina suddenly felt that this little one was quite suitable to be a cult leader.
“Pfft—”
Pesa gently covered her mouth.
She and Elena had discussed it yesterday. They definitely shouldn’t expose their ultimate goal on the first meeting!
Unexpectedly, she had said it on the first meeting!
Although she was still a little interested and curious about what she could achieve.
She still had to ask.
“I’m very lucky that there are readers of mine on the human side who can appreciate my ideas and like our dragon race.”
“But without any reason, I’m also very tired.”
“It doesn’t matter. Only we know about this. As long as your ideas can spread to the whole world, even the President of the God Slaying Society will be helpless. The Dragon King is a kind dragon. I believe she will respect your suggestion, Teacher Bud.”
Calysia covered her mouth and smiled.
Reina glanced at her wife and pouted slightly: “How do you know she won’t come to trouble us in advance for the sake of her wife?”
“Yes, I’m also sure that if that President wants to, her wife will definitely clear the obstacles for her.”
Calysia, in Elena’s eyes, had become a young woman named “Kaya.” Although her appearance was the same, she couldn’t be associated with the Dragon King at all.
“I see, then…”
Elena was clearly flustered. She stammered a few reasons, and it was clear that she suddenly knew that her behavior had become a little abnormal and that she hadn’t acted according to the plan. Moreover, her first idea had been rejected, so she had to start thinking again.
“I agree to cooperate, but I have one condition, Elena.”
“Eh?”
Elena looked up, flattered and incredulous. For a moment, she couldn’t even believe that what she had heard was true, and she was even stunned for a long time.
“I will definitely accept!”
“Hehe…” Reina shook her head. “My idea is very simple. I need you to work harder and continue to expand your influence, that’s all.”
The conversation ended quickly, and Reina left on the grounds of incubating her egg.
After sending the two of them off, Elena lay on the bed, rolling back and forth. She had never been so happy!
“Yes, Teacher Bud agreed!”
“Did you hear what she said? She wants to cooperate with me. This is only the first time, and we actually succeeded!”
Elena hugged the neat quilt and fiercely buried her head in it, nuzzling against it. For a moment, without her noticing, her pupils instantly turned into dragon pupils.
“Doesn’t she have many conditions? In other words, we’re not strong enough yet,” Pesa said, crossing her arms and complaining. “You’re like a little rabbit now.”
“By the way, I have to go see Aunt Paris. You can cook for yourself tonight.”
“Eh?”
Elena looked up: “But I don’t know how to cook!”
“Who told you to really dismiss everyone and even send them to other nobles? Now you can’t even hire them back.”
“Mmph…”
Looking at Elena, who was gradually being toyed with by the Goddess, Pesa tugged at her own long brown hair, which was gradually growing and even reaching her chest.
“I really can’t do anything about you.”
…
After cooking dinner for Elena, Pesa was a little dazed on the way.
She felt that she was busy now, working for the Goddess, but she felt that she was busy now, and because she was working for the Goddess, she couldn’t be idle every day.
This was clearly a fulfilling day, yet she felt empty inside.
She spread her light attribute wings and flew into the sky, gliding in the sky just like a dragon, and finally landed on the ground.
“You’re just a replica… light attribute magic and a speck of light, just a fake.”
Unintentionally, these words began to echo in her ear, but she just widened her eyes and quickened her pace.
Once, there was a Saintess named Agnes who knew how to use the light.
But she was no longer here. Originally, knowing this, she had even held a glimmer of hope. Every time she thought of this emotion, she would be filled with self-blame.
“Yes, as long as there’s no one left beside the Goddess, you will be her only one. You can act as spoiled as you want.”
“…”
“This is what you deserve. Have you ever done anything to wrong the Goddess of Light?!”
“Shut up,” Pesa said coldly. “You three guardians, it’s time for you to get out of my body.”
“You can’t do it, because we guardians will definitely become heroic spirits to protect the goddess, and you are no exception. This is our curse. And you, who obtained a body first, are our vessel. You have accepted our power, and you have no right to resist.”
A calm voice said so.
“Our goal is to return to the goddess’s side, to remove all the gloom, and to help her return to the light.”
“I won’t pay attention to this matter. You should also stop. And besides, the goddess has already become a dragon,” Pesa said.
“The goddess has fallen, just because she was influenced by the people around her. As long as we kill everyone around her, we can definitely do it. You think so too, right? Pesa, you are the most naive among us. Returning to the goddess’s side is your long-cherished wish.”
“…”
Pesa didn’t say anything more. She just wanted to be quiet.
But until one of the voices mentioned that name, she finally couldn’t remain calm.
“Think about Elena. Do you really think the goddess is playing with her? She’s recruiting new subordinates. You can’t possibly not see that. And it’s clear that Elena is much more important than you. At least that’s what the goddess thinks.”
“What do you really want to do?”
“…”
“Get rid of them.”
