Chapter 30 Blue Waver's Plot
"Anyway, enough of that! Are you ready to check out where you will stay?...after all, I don't think those two women want to meet you." Phoenix suggested.
"Yeah, I don't have any luggage, so I will move in right away." Damien answered.
"Okay then, follow me!" Phoenix said as she started walking down the left side of the pyramidal stairs.
Damien walked along the edge towards his right, and met her when she had reached the last step.
Damien's heart once again skipped a beat when he took in her magnificent form.
She was still dressed in that long Phoenix gown. Her golden slitted eyes were occupied with looking at him but a faint blush appeared when his gaze lingered on her more than necessary.
Her adorable expression looked fitting since she looked like a teen fresh out of high school from Earth.
'It happened again, like the first time I saw her, I wonder what it is?'
Damien recollected himself even as that thought passed through his mind.
"Let's go!" She ordered before taking the lead and walking towards the back of the palace leaving the throne behind.
-------
Currently, Gigan was seating in the two person sofa waiting for Dark to come.
He had been let into the house by Lino, who was occupying the left single person sofa.
He didn't take one look at her, as he wasn't interested in mere demigods no matter how hot they may be.
Lino too, was lost in her thoughts and was more than happy that the guy was quiet.
"So, what brings you here, Gigan?"
Dark's voice came from the entrance to the room. She had directly skipped the pleasantries and got to the main point.
"I came to see that demigod manager. I decided to come and visit you since it it is a rare occasion to be invited to the palace." He answered as he turned his neck to look backwards.
Dark had changed into a dark long sleeved dress which reached her toes. The collar even reached her neck as she didn't want the guest to ogle at her.
All signs of the earlier emotional turmoil were tucked away behind the stoic expression she was now spotting.
Lino had also woken up from her thoughts and was focusing on her.
'I can't mask my emotions as good as her, is it the difference between us?' She wondered in her mind.
"Well you have seen me, now you can leave!" Dark tried chasing him out. She was leaning against the wall of the entrance and had no plans to take a seat.
It was her way of showing that she wasn't interested in entertaining the guest.
"Is that demigod really going to manage these properties?" He asked entirely ignoring the hint.
"Yes!" She answered curtly.
"I...we think that it isn't appropriate to let a demigod manage it. Important personages will be coming and it will besmirch the god queen's reputation if word spreads that a mere demigod is her manager."
He said seriously as if he cared about the god queen's reputation.
"Who is making that noise? I am trying to sleep?" A groggy looking Itetia appeared from behind Dark.
Her beautiful blue dress had creases due to her sleeping in it.
They all turned to look at her, after which their eyes narrowed.
They could see that something was wrong with her.
"Oh! It seems Mr. Waver is at it again!" Gigan exclaimed before standing up and walking towards the groggy eyed Itetia.
He tapped her forehead and brown strings infiltrated her head and pulled out a wriggling blue crystalline string with them as they exited.
The groggy state vanished from Itetia's face as she took steps back and distanced herself from him.
"What is that?" Dark asked with alarm in her voice.
"If am not mistaken, young lady, your divinity must be related to water." Gigan said that as a fact.
"Mr. Waver's divinity is something like a secret even I haven't figured out, but according to the little information I have, he likes spying and always tries to enhance his information network by trying to control those who have water related divinities and are lower than him in the number of strings."
"You mean I was going to become a puppet?" Itetia asked as a terrified expression appeared on her face.
"No...not a puppet exactly but you would do his bidding subconsciously without you thinking it as wrong." He answered as he crushed the string.
"Really? It seems Mr. Waver crossed a line which shouldn't be crossed this time." Dark said as light around her started being absorbed. She was enraged.
"Yes, indeed." Gigan agreed as he started thinking of how to use this to his advantage.
Itetia, was still frozen in terror as she remembered how for some reason she felt an affinity to that blue haired guy.
Lino, on the other hand went back to her gloomy mood. Such things had happened too much in the universe that they weren't new to her. She wasn't exactly friends with any of these people so she felt no need to feel for them.
"Stay here! I am going to meet the god queen! Not you, Gigan, go back!" Dark ordered.
She still stood in place and waited for him to go out before she went out and headed for the palace.
'Hahaha...this time that guy doomed himself! He's the only one I didn't have an accurate grasp on. He just dug his own grave.' Gigan's lips curved upwards as he tried hard noylt to laugh out loud.
"Why are you smiling?" A sweet voice interrupted his thoughts.
He looked up and saw that it was Silver.
"It seems our comrade has dug his own grave." He answered.
"Who?"
"Blue Waver! His clan might have to pay compensation and apologise. He is also most definitely going to be given up to die." He revealed.
Silver's mouth was wide open now. The only reason she could think of would be that he offended the god queen.
-----
"Sir, I have planted a spy in the palace!" A blue haired/eyed man was in front of a wall mounted monitor respectfully reporting his deeds.
Even though it was audio only, he didn't dare raise his head as he knew that the means of the clan head were terrifying.
"...that was a bad decision." After some time, like 10 seconds as Blue Waver was starting to feel the weight of the silence, such words were said.
"Why?" He asked still with a bowed head.
"They will discover you in very little time. It is also considered an offense to the god queen's face." The male voice was speaking in an oddly calm tone but, beads of sweat were rolling down Blue's body.
The calmer the clan head, the more dissatisfied he was.
"If I was there, I would kill you myself but it seems I will be too late. I am going to come back, it seems we are going to lose a lot." The man sighed.
"You are also going to lose your life. It will either be by my hands or the god queen's." He said nonchalantly since he didn't care about a mere god. His clan had plenty of replacements. The only thing that was currently causing him a headache was how he was going to pacify that demoness.
[Beep]
Blue's communication device( touch screen smartphone but way more advanced) rang at this moment of quiet.
"Take it!" The voice ordered he noticed Blue wasn't reacting.
The clan leader was chatting with Blue in audio but he was getting a video feed from the camera at the top.
"Hello" he spoke after fumbling about in his clothes due to fear and answering the call.
"Mr. Waver, it truly is humiliating for me to be the one who has to call a mere god. But I will let that pass, now, you are ordered to come to the palace to answer for your crimes. I want you to take as little time as you can to reach here after this call."
The moment the god queen's speech ended, she cut off the call.
Blue Waver collapsed on his feet as he knew that she had definitely found out.
"It seems I am too late." The voice of the clan leader said before shutting down the communication leaving Blue as the only person with a look of terror on his lowered head.
He had been focusing on Silver during that meeting but as he was running out of the room, be had released a blue string infiltrating the woman with the water attribute divinity as he wanted to spy on Silver and Dark since they were going to be spending most of their time in the palace.
He wanted them to be his women just like the other representives and gods in Pantheon city.
To him it was a competition, and he wanted to win.
"I need to go. Maybe I might salvage the situation if I apologise." He muttered to himself as he tried clutching at straws.
He stood up and turned into a blur which vanished from the room. Keeping the god queen waiting would lead to further deterioration of his situation.
