48. A Moment of Commemoration
Aurora couldn’t believe it.
It had been less than four days since the plan began.
Had Pesa already become a dragon? Controlled by Reina? Had she already become a vassal?!
“Aurora, you said before that you were in the dark and we were in the light, right? You were wrong. The ones in the dark are clearly us.”
“…” Aurora was speechless. She looked at the scene before her for a long time, her face not looking good.
“Is this your purpose? What a beautiful, fairytale-like longing .”
“But she can do it. Even I’m surprised by this dream.”
Aurora shook her head, not intending to humiliate herself, and left Tris’s body.
She fell to the ground and was helped up by Calysia. She quickly regained consciousness, and her kind nature made her think that it was her own negligence that had caused the magic to go haywire.
As the light faded, the scepter had already been handed over to “Mura.”
A seven-colored flash of light erupted from the bottom of the lake, illuminating Pesa’s back.
Amidst the cheers, no one could hear what she said to Reina.
She used light attribute magic to distort the light, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening now.
“Goddess, I did it, I really did it… hehe~”
The golden dragon licked her lips, her eyes filled with a clear desire.
“I’ve completely killed the other guardians in my soul. Now, I have all their power, hahaha… It’s all mine now.”
She moved a little closer, under Celes’s disdainful gaze.
“Now, I should be the Goddess’s strongest subordinate.”
“Congratulations.”
Simultaneously with Mura’s coronation ceremony, the plan to control Pesa was also underway.
Reina attached great importance to the so-called “guardians.”
If it were the Saintess, she wouldn’t have to worry about these powerful beings who were close to her.
But this group of guardians was different. They hadn’t had much contact with the Goddess of Light, but rather served as guards of the temple or the ruins. Having cultivated light attribute magic to the extreme, they were the most devout worshippers of the goddess besides the Saintess.
But now, Reina had learned from Ann that Pesa was being troubled by “inner demons.” She had spent two days and had come to a conclusion, so she decided to help Pesa.
At first, Pesa was desperate, but Ann confidently told Reina that she could solve Pesa’s problem. So, Reina just slightly modified her soul, just like she had with Elena.
The more loyal she was to Reina, the purer she was, and the faster her dragonification would be.
—And from accepting the power to growing a tail, it had only taken Pesa two short days.
And now, this scene.
Reina was genuinely happy about her transformation.
But what was going on?
Pesa was supposed to be a cute little girl.
Opening the Eye of Light, she didn’t find anything abnormal about her body.
She was Pesa herself.
“Hey, Goddess, I should be worthy of being your guardian, right? Although I’m definitely not as good as Mura, I should be better than Elena…”
“Pesa, you did very well.”
“Ehehe~”
“Pope?”
Suddenly, Liya, who was sitting behind, just as she was about to ask about the situation, came forward. Just as she got close to the light, she discovered the young woman before her.
And appearing before her was actually the Pope.
However, at this moment, her dragon features had disappeared.
When the cheers faded, she was just an ordinary Pope.
“Hello, Miss Elena.”
“Good morning, Pope. What brings you here?”
“I just wanted to see the Dragon King.”
Celes, seeing that it seemed to be her turn to perform, and at the same time not wanting her mother to be taken away, snorted with a cold expression:
“Step down.”
“Yes, Your Majesty~”
Pesa tilted her head. Even if she was driven away by Celes, she had no regrets. She had already achieved her goal… ever since she had grown a tail and become a member of the dragon race.
…
“Pesa, is this the succubus maid you mentioned?”
Elena and Pesa returned to the mansion.
The young woman touched her hair, thinking she had been mistaken. The mansion, which had once been empty except for Pesa after she had been dismissed, now had 30 beautiful girls.
She marveled at their graceful figures. Even though they had hidden their succubus features, they still exuded a charming aura, as if they wanted to make a move on the two cute girls at any moment.
“Yes, the Dragon King also has a succubus by her side, one of the Demon Moons. These succubi, who are hidden in the human world, have qualities and abilities that are no less than those of elven maids.”
“Teacher Bud knows that succubus, and she has a very high opinion of succubi~”
“Are you saying that Teacher Bud likes succubi?”
Elena was incredulous, but she also remembered that Reina’s book had mentioned succubi a few times, so she believed it.
Bud believes that succubi also deserve respect.
“Welcome home, Master~”
The succubus maids bowed slightly, their movements perfectly synchronized.
“See? Succubi are definitely pleasing to the eye. Teacher Bud will definitely not be a stranger. And besides, she only hates humans, the malice hidden in her heart. What bad intentions could a succubus have?”
“But this way, aren’t we living in a demon’s room?”
Elena was still a little hesitant.
Pesa’s eyes flickered: “Miss Elena, do you still remember why you allied with the half-orcs? It’s the same principle~ And besides, you don’t intend to hire humans, and you clean the house yourself every day. How much time do you waste?”
“Mmph… that’s true.”
Finally, she accepted Pesa’s suggestion.
The two walked into the house, and someone had already prepared decent snacks and meals for them.
And this time, the reason they had prepared so early was all because of another guest.
In the living room, the pointy-eared dark elf girl, Isabella, stood up when she heard their footsteps and greeted them.
“What can I do for you this time, Miss Elena~” she said with a cheerful smile. Seeing Elena, it was as if she had seen the light in her heart.
“I called you here for a very important matter.”
“I’m all ears.”
“You will be the Dark Elf Queen, Mura’s assistant, for a term of three years. If you perform well, you can continue.”
“Assistant? Why…”
“According to reliable information I got from Teacher Bud, Mura will be carrying out some missions, and things like appearing in public and some decision-making will be handed over to you. In other words, we will have more opportunities to spread our ideas to the whole world~”
The snacks made by the succubi were delicious. Elena ate and laughed.
“What is she going to do?”
“It’s said that she’s going to deal with the Shadow of God,” Elena repeated Bud’s words.
Isabella drank all the fruit wine:
“We’ll defeat the God Slaying Society sooner or later, right?”
“Of course.”
“Cheers.”
“Cheers~”
The three young women raised their wine glasses. This was a moment of commemoration.
