Eren noticed that Trisha was still scared of him, even if she was trying to hide it. It made him really wonder just what his alter ego from the future had done to her.


    It was just his personality from the future after all. It was limited to his present strength, even if it took over his body. So how could he suppress someone like Trisha?


    There was a nagging feeling in his heart that there was something suspicious lurking within the surface that he couldn''t quite put his finger on.


    Was he really so strong that he could defeat someone like Trisha, surpassing the level difference between them? Just what did his future self know to put his present state body to such good use?


    ''Sometimes I really wonder what kind of monster I will be in the future. With just a soul alone, in this weak body, I could defeat a demigod.''


    "Pce Master!" The shout of Elders brought Eren out of his daze, and he saw the Elders rushing in their direction.


    "Are you hurt?" The Elders were panicked, seeing Trisha being supported by Eren. There were also some signs of a battle taking ce here.


    "I am fine," The Pce Master answered, still being supported by Eren. She thought about pushing him away, to free herself, but when she remembered his alter ego, she couldn''t get herself to do anything to cause a misunderstanding.


    In the eyes of the Elder, it looked like Eren was simply embracing her, with his arm around her shoulders to help her stand.


    "Are there any casualties around the Ice Maiden Pce?" The Pce Master asked, ncing at Eren through the corner of her vision.


    Even if there were any casualties, she couldn''t do anything, even though the person responsible was right next to her.


    "Fortunately, not a single person died. Many of them fainted as they couldn''t bear the pressure, but they weren''t injured. After a little rest, they should be fine."


    "That is good." Trisha sighed in relief. Even if Eren''s alter ego had threatened her, it didn''t hurt a single person in this ce. That made her a little relieved.


    The relief onlysted for a few seconds, before she became grumpy again, remembering how she was beaten instead. Should she be happy that not a single person was hurt, or be upset that she was the only one who was hurt?


    "The person who attacked us... Did you kill him?" The Elders asked, seeing the signs of battle. The attacker was nowhere to be found, and they didn''t even suspect Eren for something like this.


    Even if he was the husband of the Pce Master, he wasn''t that strong. Moreover, he had no reason to fight his wife. That left only one other possibility.


    The Pce Master had already beaten the intruder to the point that even his corpse wasn''t left behind.


    The signs of battle made them believe that it was the intruder getting thrashed, and not the Pce Master who had long wiped the blood from her lips to save some dignity.


    "The Pce Master is truly incredible! You killed the intruder before he couldnd that scary attack to destroy the Ice Maiden Pce!" The Elders didn''t even wait for the confirmation, and startedplimenting her.


    ''Killed him? You idiots, he is standing right before you and you can''t even see! Moreover, I didn''t stop any attacks! He just didn''t attack you all, because he wants to use your lives as a leverage against me!''


    Trisha''s lips trembled in frustration, and she decided to not remove the misunderstanding.


    If they thought the intruder was dead, then the search for the intruder would also end. It would annoy Eren''s alter ego a little less, which she preferred.


    The Pce Master had killed the scary intruder! This news started making rounds around the Ice Maiden Pce. There was not a single person who wasn''t praising the Pce Master.


    Those who had passed out under the pressure, also started waking up with a few hours of rest, and a little healing.


    The Ice Maiden Pce had returned to normal, and the extreme defence formations were deactivated again. But the conversations around the sudden attack didn''t stop.


    ....


    "The Pce Master is truly in love. In thest few days, I haven''t seen her without her husband."


    "Yeah. It''s as if they are stuck to each other. She is so cute."


    Days had passed since thest attack, and the conversation throughout the Ice Maiden Pce had changed, especially amongst the Elders.


    Ever since the attack, they had never seen the Pce Master without Eren. It was as if the woman didn''t want to be separated from her husband for a single moment.


    "She even brought that man to the weekly meeting. No outsider is allowed to attend, but she gave permission to that man, to let him hear such confidential things. Is she preparing to assign that man as an Elder here?"


    "The Ice Maiden Pce has always been governed by women. We don''t even ept a male disciples, even if they are talented. He is the only man here, and the Pce Master is nning to give him every authority possible?"


    "I don''t think it''s right. Even if it''s her husband, we should still... at least talk about it with the Pce Master?"


    "That''s right. We can ept him as a guest, but to make him an Elder?"


    "You fool, so what if he is made an Elder? Isn''t it just a role? As her husband, does he even need to demand authority? As for the meeting, she can always tell him every information that we discuss. For him, it was just a formality, wasn''t it?"


    "That''s right. Stop discussing such foolish things. If the Pce Master heard us, she would be angry."


    The Ice Maiden Pce had split into two groups. One group supported the love of the pce Master, which went beyond rules.


    Tensions had already started brewing under the surface of the Ice Maiden Pce.
