CHAPTER 57: CAKE

THREE DAYS LATER AT DAWN

VALKYRIE PALACE

HELENA'S BATHROOM

"It's been three days after my first meeting with the Dark Knight guild members. After, commanding Gunter to gather all the guild members in the misty peak. As a result, I was able to determine the size of the guild forces. I now have two 4th class Grandmasters, five 3rd class Grandmasters, over two hundred 2nd class Grandmasters, four hundred 1st class Grandmasters, two hundred first circle rogue wizards, and lastly two hundred kids still in training, all under my command.

But once Giles and Hamas. The first and second place on the Dark Knight Guild special killer list saw I was a girl they tried to kill me. I guess Gunter did not tell them how strong I was. But after a few seconds, they came around quickly, even though they suffered a few broken limbs and ribs. Sigh… now that I think about it, I understand why they fought so hard. As men, they never thought they could lose to a girl, since men are the only ones who can use mana. However, I am not your average girl.

After showing my power by beating the shit–I mean sparring with the strongest guild members, I gained the guild member's fear and respect as their new guild leader. Then I looked through all the guild's assassination requests. And I learnt some interesting things about the Giggadon empire. Though the empire seemed calm on the surface, there were many conflicts, killing, corruption, bribery, and slavery going on behind the scenes. The only reason the empire has not collapsed yet is that no matter how greedy the people are, they would never bring their misdeeds to the surface where the emperor could see.

Because they know that as long as it doesn't get the emperor's attention, they are safe to do whatever they want. But if something happens to the emperor, the Giggadon empire would be like a sandcastle built beside a seacoast…"

*SPLASH*

Helena thought in her mind as she steps into her bathtub filled with warm water. And some of the water poured out of the bath onto the floor.

"Haa… this feels good."

Helena said with a relaxed expression after feeling the warmth of the water.

"... But, since I need this empire as my tool in conquering this world and building my harem, I will not let the pests in it cause its destruction. As the emperor's daughter, it's only right I get rid of the pests for my beloved empire. Hehe"

Helena said with a malicious smile.

*WHOOSH*

While Helena was plotting in her head Alpha flies out and sees Helena's expression.

[HEY, CAN YOU STOP SMILING LIKE THAT? IT SCARES THE DAYLIGHT OUT OF ME?]

Alpha asked.

[No… no… no… Alpha, a man should have a scary expression that can deter the enemy from engaging in battle, that way he can win the war without fighting.]

Helena said with a scholarly aura around her.

[WOW, WHAT A GOOD QUOTE. SAD THING IT DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU.]

Helena said in a mocking tone.

"Tsk. Ever since she evolved, she has just been messing with me. But I guess having someone that mocks you isn't that bad."

Helena thought in her mind while smiling inwardly.

[You know something Alpha?]

Helena asked.

[What?]

Alpha asked curiously.

[I always wondered why your golden form is flat, is it because you are in a loli's body, or is it just your destiny? To be a washing board.]

Helena said in a mocking tone.

[YOU…YOU.]

Alpha stuttered her words while covering her chest instinctively. Her cheeks turned red from embarrassment and anger. She could not understand what Helena meant by washing board, but her female instinct knew it was a jab.

*WHOOSH*

[HMPH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS BUT I KNOW, I AM NOT TALKING TO YOU ANYMORE.]

Alpha said as she returned to Helena's Sea of Consciousness.

"Pfft, Hahaha. I can't hold it in. Her angry expression was so cute even though she's angry."

Helena said after bursting out a loud laugh.

—-----------------------------------------

A FEW MOMENTS LATER.

INSIDE HELENA'S #1 UNIVERSE.

IN PLANET NO. 1

"It's been a while since I checked up on Rath. I wonder what she's doing?"

Helena said as she looks down toward the land while floating in the planet's atmosphere.

"Hmm… let's see, where could she be... Ah! there she is."

Helena said after locating Rath 5.5 million kilometers away on one of the planet's continents.

—-------------------------------------

GORATH CONTINENT.

GODDESS TEMPLE.

"I, yakkat son of Aurr and leader of the golden lion tribe. Pay my respect to the Goddess."

A Huge talking golden lion said as it bowed in front of the Goddess temple.

"I, Sgond, son of Blos and leader of the Gorilla tribe. Pay my respect to the Goddess."

A Giant brown talking gorilla said as it bowed in front of the Goddess's temple.

"I Aura, daughter of Frith and leader of the Phoenix tribe. Pay my respect to the Goddess."

A beautiful red and golden colored phoenix said as it bowed in front of the Goddess temple.

"I, Grami, son of Rondrass and leader of the dragon tribe, pay my respect to the Goddess."

A Large red dragon said as it bowed in front of the Goddess temple.

"The leaders of the four great tribes are here to pay tribute and pray for the Goddess' continued protection over the land."

All tribe leaders said simultaneously with respect and a sense of worship.

—-------------------------------------

MEANWHILE INSIDE THE GODDESS TEMPLE.

"Tsk, these annoying guys are here again."

Rath said in an annoyed tone while lying on a huge soft white bed.

"Sigh… I wonder when Father is going to return. It has been more than a thousand years since I have seen him. I miss him."

After sighing, Rath said with a longing expression.

*VROOM* *TELEPORTATION. *

"I missed you too."

Helena said as she appeared beside Rath's bed.

*WHOOSH*

"Dad! I missed you."

Rath said in a happy tone as soon as she saw Helena. She quickly transformed into a child's version of her current form, jumps off her bed, rushes towards Helena, and hugged her tightly.

"Woah… you really missed me huh?"

Helena said with a smile on her face while hugging Rath.

"I guess she's gotten used to calling me dad now… I am glad I asked her to stop calling me master and instead call me father. After all, I gave her life, and as a creator, or God I should treat all my creations as my children, and I also want Rath to know what it's like to be a child and have a better childhood than both my past and present life."

Helena thought in her mind.

"Sniff… Rath has missed Dad sooo much. Dad has been gone for so long."

Rath said with a sad child-like tone.

The reason why Rath is acting like a child unlike before was that Helena told her to treat her like her father. So, Rath scanned the memories that Helena gave her and saw how children behaved on Earth then she copied their behavior.

"Sorry about that. Dad had a lot of things to do."

Helena apologized as she picks Rath up the ground and held her in her arms like a child.

"Dad had a lot of things to do in the God realm?"

Rath asked.

"... yes, something like that."

Helena replied.

"But, for making my daughter worry, I'll apologize with this..."

Helena said. As she turns to the empty space in the room and swipes her hand across it.

*SWOOSH*

After swiping her hand, a large table with an enormous cake and a lot of toys on it appeared.

"Woah… Dad, is that the thing called cake?"

Rath asked with an excited tone while her eyes sparkled. Though she has seen the cake in the memories she received from Helena. This was the first time she's seeing a real one.

"... Yes, it's cake. And it's all yours."

Helena replied with a smile as she put Rath down on the floor.

*WHOOSH*

After getting down, Rath runs towards the Cake quickly, with an excited expression. After standing in front of the cake, she turns around towards Helena before saying.

"... Dad, can I really eat all this?"

Rath asked with an excited tone and a happy expression.

"Wait a minute, should I let a kid eat all this cake with a lot of sugar? Hmm… well, it should be okay. Rath can't get sick or get a toothache."

Helena thought in her mind.

"Yeah, you can eat it."

Helena said to Rath with a smile.

"Yay!"

Rath said in a cheerful tone as she turns towards the table.

**********************************

A FEW MINUTES LATER.

"Buuurrrppp!!... I am soo full."

Rath said with a satisfied expression after burping, while laying on the table with a bloated belly and face, and hands covered in frosting.

"Hehehe…"

Helena giggles as she watched Rath.
