"How does it feel?"


    Rena sighed after hearing that question for the eighth time, before she responded with the same answer, "I am fine; nothing hurts."


    Inside the room other than her, only four people were present.


    Be and Ben were on the other side while La and Carl were on either side of the girl.


    Richard was with Berine, as they went to discuss something with Be. Lilia was also with them.


    Meanwhile, Emily was spending some time with Elizabeth and Nora.


    Richard has informed them that he will be returning to Clion tomorrow to transport the soldiers to their home.


    Returning back to the group of five, Ben and Carl were exchanging nces…wanting to ask something but too hesitant to voice it.


    Be heaved a sigh, and finally stated the matter of their concern, "Do you remember anything?"


    La gasped as she nervously nced at Rena.


    This was a very sensitive topic.


    The hell she went through in those months…naturally, everyone would be quite uncertain whether to ask about it or not.


    Rena heaved a long sigh and looked at her hands. She seemed to be contemting rather than being anxious—a good sign from others'' perspective.


    After a bit of pause, Rena finally revealed, "I do remember the things I went through, but they are vague. It doesn''t hurt to think about it though, so y''all don''t need to worry."


    Ben asked in a sad tone, "Do you not resent us...? Even though we know where you were, we couldn''te to save you for this long-ou!"


    Rena flicked the guy on his forehead, "Stop bbering bull crap. It wasn''t like you could have yet you didn''t save me. And being imprisoned alone was far better than letting you all get trapped there alongside me, so it was a wise decision to attack when you had proper backup."


    Rena could never resent her brothers, since she knew how helpless they were. The only thing she would ever regret is that she didn''t get the chance to kill that bastard who caused this whole ruckus.


    "Yes, she is right, so now, don''t worry about the past and think about the future." Be encouraged them.


    Rena grinned upon hearing such big words out of her mouth, "Hoh~my lil munchkin has matured enough to scold others now?"


    Be huffed, "I look older than you, so now, I am in charge."


    Rena chuckled, "That post shall be mine forever. Did you forget, who used to save you when you got lizards crawling in your bathroom? Or when you couldn''t tie your ribbon by yourself?"


    With her eyes narrowing, the girl added, "Or did you forget who used to bear those w*ores who tried hitting on Rey?"


    Be grinned, "That was one of the most satisfying activities we used to do together."


    In the past, Rey used to get hit on by several women, even older ones. However, despite their stature or age, Rena and Be used to easily take care of them. Yes, they sometimes get caught, but every time they get rescued by Be''s mother.


    The other three in the room felt a shiver running down their spines hearing their conversation.


    They were obsessed about keeping women away from Richard.


    "Talking about women…I heard Rey has multiple women by his side now? How did you allow that?"


    Be heaved a sigh, "I returned to him a littlete…and Brother loves them quite dearly, so he prohibited me to hurt them."


    Rena narrowed her eyes, a thought passing by her mind. However, Be warned her, "Unless you don''t want to be reprimanded by Brother or worse, face separation, don''t even try ying any pranks."


    Rena''s eyes slightly widened, as she asked in concern, "Has things progressed that much?"


    Be nodded, "Yeah…as I said, they all are a very important part of his life."


    La asked, "Umm…what were you nning to do, Sis?"


    Rena sweetly smiled at the pink head, "Trust me, sweetie, you won''t ever want to know."


    "..."

    [Clion]


    It has been three days since they returned. The other apostles haven''t left since they were told by the Goddess to gather around.


    And not only them, the church workers as well, weremanded to join forces and prepare for the uing war.


    Every nation across the globe has received the warning that a massive war is approaching, so they should find a safe ce as soon as possible.


    However, Eleanor knows that once the war begins, no ce will be safe. Thousands of innocent lives would be wasted and there was nothing she could do about it.


    Walking toward the dining hall, she asked the one following her, "Is he still training?"


    The girl with wavy blue hair and bright aquamarine eyes, responded, "Y-Yes, Lady Supreme. Lord Ethan hasn''t eaten anything and has been training non-stop."@@novelbin@@


    Eleanor heaved a sigh; this was to be expected. Although she forced him to take the Oath, she cannot change his mind. He still hates her down to hisst bone and antagonizes the Light.


    After thinking for a bit, she said, "Send a few people to provoke him. A few challenges would help him train better, and just when he finishes, send some gratin for him."


    A soft smile bloomed on her face. Ethan once told her that Gratin was his favorite dish since that was the onlyvish food he used to eat on his birthday.


    Surely he wouldn''t say no to gratin.


    Eleanor was just about to enter the dining hall when suddenly, "Lady Supreme!"


    One of the apostles arrived by her side and informed her, "A teleportation portal has appeared in Eldoria!" Enjoy exclusive content from empire


    Eleanor frowned, "The same portal?"


    "Yes, the same portal which we used to travel to the other world."


    Eleanor felt anxious; is Richard going tounch a surprise attack?


    Turning toward the girl, shemanded, "Prepare a battalion and get ready. We are going there."
