The Ladies Gathering (2)

Oh, my dear Tina, what have you done?

You announced my status as The King of Black Citadel, the husband of the Queen of the opposite force, the church had brainwashed the people that Dark Elves and their companion were evil, and then you also claimed me as your husband, which was the same as I had tainted your purity, although it wasn't true, I didn't mind though.

It's not that I wanted to hide... whatever relationship between me and Celestine, but the time was not right, even if I wasn't the King of Black Citadel, the people depicted Celestine as someone holy, free from the influence of the world, desire, and emotions.

If the news about her having a husband was spread, then their belief would crumble, how could their Goddess have a husband? Was that meant she would also sleep with him? Cater to his desire and lust? Intertwined with him in the midst of carnal desire? The people would not be able to accept it and rebel or the church would prepare countermeasures that possibly involved creating trouble for us.

My mission at the moment was to raise the status of the Dark Elves in the public mind, I couldn't let anything slowing down the process.

"W... what...?" Claudia's expression shook up, she jumped from her seat.

The reaction of the others was varied; Maia's interest had increased, Ruu-ruu was shocked, Alicia was terrified, Prim was confused, and Kaguya was frowning.

"Eh? I... I mean..." Celestine started to acting up, right... she just realized the error she had made.

"Goddess... what did you say...?" Claudia trembled.

"Goddess, what's the meaning of this?" Alicia stood up, poor Prim was startled.

"Well, well, both Queen's husband, eh? What a lucky dog," Maia snickered, thanks for the praise.

"Kahaha, the pot's getting hot!" Ruu-ruu's initial shock transformed into boisterous laughter, man, she's like a dwarf, only without the hairy part.

"..." Kaguya didn't say anything but she stared at Celestine, probably asking for an explanation.

Celestine was getting pushed to the corner, and she became even more panicked, I sighed.

"Pfft, hahahahahaha!!!"

The earth-shattering laugh broke through my mouth, surprising all the ladies.

"Haha, oh, my goodness, okay, okay, that's a good one, Goddess, I don't know you can joke like that..." I grabbed my stomach and wiped my tears, my acting was a whole different class that I could put El-Pacino to shame.

"It's... it's a joke?" Claudia said, ironically for someone who didn't trust me, her expression changed to relieve faster than a speeding ticket.

"Ah, yes, I was just joking... huff, this is you both fault, you are about to start fighting!" Celestine puffed her cheek, man, for a Goddess, you really didn't have the air.

"Goddess, I am sorry, but..." Claudia's eyes sharply glared at me, well, girl, keep at it and you might fall in love with me.

"You are worried that I lied, right? Relax, I bring a proof," I shrugged, then disappeared from the room.

"He... what magic he used? There is no magic circle at all..." Alicia frowned.

"Yes, and I heard space magic is impossible, it is something a mortal yet to learn," Prim shook her head, but she was excited for some reason.

"Okay, you read too many books, space magic is difficult, but not impossible," the blonde knocked the pink head on her forehead.

"Goddess, who is he?" Claudia asked once more.

"I have told you," Celestine said.

"No, I mean, what is your relationship with him?" it seemed Claudia still couldn't let it go.

"He is... uh... nothing, we have no relationship," Celestine wasn't exactly lying, there had nothing been established between the two.

"That's good, if even our Goddess fall into the clutch of Dark Power, then who will not?"

Celestine was hesitant, but she didn't talk again, feared she might say the wrong thing.

"Hey, Goddess, if he's not yours, let me have him for a night? Give him back in the morning, pinky promise," Maia grinned.

"Bird," Alicia sneered, Maia's eyes twitched as the corner of her lips curled, looking at Alicia up and down.

"Decent breasts, small ass, no wonder still red," Maia said, which drew Alicia's temper. But Prim forbade her from fighting.

"How's the temple?" Ruu-ruu asked Kaguya.

"It's alright."

"How're the people?"

"They are fine."

"How're the cows?"

"Still alive."

"..."

"..."

Ruu-ruu looked at Kaguya expectantly, the high priest felt discomfort, she said with a sigh, "Okay, how's Ansur?"

"Kahaha, let me tell you a story!" Ruu-ruu stood on her seat and placed her both hands on her small waist, Kaguya covered her ears in response.

After a while, I returned with Olga, Chloe, and a wooden box, I saw Alicia almost drawing out her sword while Maia kept provoking her, Prim was between them tried to calm down Alicia, meanwhile, Ruu-ruu talked in a loud voice that Kaguya had distress on her face.
