Zeus had a very comfortable two days, undisturbed by anyone. Lia had also gone to retrieve the sword on the second day after the wedding. A month had passed, and she was now completely familiar with the environment here. She leisurely handled internal affairs, then could sit in the garden, drink black tea, and perform her daily meditation, absorbing magic to convert into divine power. Although the efficiency was low, it was better than nothing.
"Your Majesty the Queen, good day."
"Alright, Nasha, don't be so formal."
Zeus felt a headache looking at the maid before her. She had thought she would have a close girlfriend, but to her surprise, the other party held her in such high regard, not daring to overstep her bounds by even half a step. In her previous life's terms, she was a bit too stubborn. Nasha, though cute, was a complete emotional idiot.
"Never mind. Is there something important this early in the morning?"
Looking at Nasha, who was still helplessly resisting her, Zeus sighed in defeat and directly asked the reason for her visit.
"Sir Lancelot is requesting an audience outside."
Upon hearing this news, Zeus's beautiful eyebrows furrowed. Recently, this person had been quite annoying, coming here every day to say some uninteresting things. But she still politely didn't interrupt her, and only when Sir Lancelot herself got bored, Zeus subtly asked her to leave. Speaking of which, she had only been 'married' for a short time, and this person was already trying to flirt with a married woman. If she weren't a girl, Zeus would have told her to scram long ago.
"Never mind, let her in!"
Anyway, she was bored, so inviting this person in might actually make things a bit livelier. It would add a touch of vitality. If Liang were here, it would probably be even more boisterous. She wondered where that fellow was?
While Zeus's thoughts were soaring, the familiar purple-haired person had already arrived before her, greeting her. Zeus politely returned the greeting, telling her to stand up.
"May I ask, Sir Lancelot, what important matter brings you here today?"
Zeus emphasized the words 'important matter,' the meaning in her tone being, 'If there's nothing important, stop chattering and go somewhere cool.' This was common in the East, but unfortunately, Zeus was now in Great Britain in the West, where people were said to be very 'pure' and completely unfamiliar with Eastern ways.
So, with a slightly pained expression, Sir Lancelot began to recount her 'interesting stories' again.
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty the Queen, the King is already on her way back and should arrive at the city gates by evening. Is there anything that needs to be prepared?"
Sir Lancelot suddenly threw this matter out, catching Zeus off guard and bringing her back from her reverie.
"Okay, I understand."
Zeus nodded at Sir Lancelot, indicating that she would instruct the two to prepare for the handover. Zeus didn't want to manage these documents and trivial matters; it wasn't that she couldn't, but she was too lazy to. She still remembered very clearly how she had used all the documents to trick her five sisters back then—no, four sisters, who looked bewildered. Hades always maintained her stoic expression.
Actually, there wasn't much to prepare, just some talking and making sure there was plenty of food. Lia was easy to feed, though she ate a lot.
While Zeus was leisurely going about her daily routine, Liang, whom she was slightly concerned about, was currently chatting with someone whose identity was quite sensitive in this world.
"Morgan, don't you think your father is very unfair? Why does your sister get to inherit the kingdom and marry the most beautiful princess, while you can only live a lonely life in these deep mountains and wild forests? Don't you resent it?"
Liang looked at the woman before her with an inscrutable smile—no, she should be called Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of Great Britain, King Arthur's sister, Morgan. It was unclear how Liang found her here, but judging from Liang's tone and actions, they had only recently met.
"What do you want to say? I'm just a discarded person now. What can I do?"
Morgan said this calmly, a trace of resentment appearing on her face, which bore a six-tenths resemblance to Lia's. She believed her talent was no less than her sister's, but her father completely disregarded her, instead placing all his power and hope on her sister, whom he had never met. How could she accept this? Although she said this, her heart was already filled with resentment, but she couldn't defeat Merlin, nor did she have a destiny halo, so she could only live day after day in this forest.
"I have a good idea and I need your help. We might even be able to bring down your heaven-blessed sister. Are you interested?"
Seeing Morgan like this, Liang felt it was time to add fuel to the fire, so she took out a container from her Pregnant and said to Morgan.
"What plan?"
A hint of desire, imperceptible even to herself, flickered in Morgan's eyes. She was now captivated by the hope of revenge Liang offered.
"This is King Arthur's blood, which she accidentally spilled when she was injured during a joust. If we use this blood to create an artificial human exactly like King Arthur, and then have her defeat King Arthur, then…"
Liang did not continue. She saw Morgan's expression and knew she had reeled her in. The blood here was, of course, real. During the third match, Zeus's 'sister' very generously gave Leah a sword strike. Because it wasn't a fatal injury, she recovered quickly, and Leah didn't even care about her minor wound. After Leah took Zeus away, Liang, distraught, came to the jousting arena, learned about the final process, and then found a small bottle to collect Leah's blood.
"Alright, let's cooperate!"
"Then, let us make a pact here!"
The two reached a consensus and began their secret experiment. A year later, they reaped the results. Liang named the final product of this experiment 'Mordred'.
In another world, the Five Sisters looked at each other with grim faces.
"Are you all mute? Why did we find out so late about such a huge matter as the theft of the statue? And have the thieves been identified?"
Hades expressed her emotions for the first time, but it was anger. She hadn't expected such a lapse; she had been so busy increasing Zeus's followers and consolidating her faith power, but she hadn't expected that all her plans would be put on hold because the most important statue had been stolen. The ultimate reason was the insufficient protection they had.
"I sent that child Pallas to guard the statue, but it seems she has fallen."
Poseidon said mournfully. She loved this child very much; she was lively and kind. She hadn't expected that due to her own carelessness, thinking no one would touch the statue, she sent her lovely little niece to play, which would actually cost her her life. Now Poseidon really wanted to slap herself. She didn't know how to explain it to her good sister.
"Have you found out who it was?"
Hestia looked at the solemn atmosphere before them and asked Hades, who was sitting in the middle.
"A minor god who just came down from the Heavenly Realm. It seems our grandmother, Gaia, sent her."
Hades said with a gloomy expression. She knew that the four gods before her would not betray her. Hades was now very unsure whether Gaia knew about their plan. If Gaia knew and exploited it, then Zeus would be in danger.
"Go and capture that god. Be discreet; don't let anyone discover you."
Hades said to the Underworld Warriors in black Underworld Cloths outside the temple. These were warriors she had recently recruited from the human race, skilled in stealth and assassination. She was very satisfied with these subordinates, but unfortunately, she underestimated Athena's power.
"Everything will be discussed once that little fellow is caught."
It seemed the four sisters were of the same mind. Hades turned and vanished from the spot, and the four sisters also left the temple one by one to gather information, to see if there were any major movements in the Heavenly Realm.
