Chapter 174 Proposal
Of course, what Keya thought was to caress Lydia, giving her a romantic and warm feeling. So while kissing her, he only gave her the comfort afterwards. It was almost done. When Keya thought that the goddess and the great saint were still waiting for him to go back, she slowly stopped her hand, patted her back lightly, and whispered: "Lydia, it's almost time, I have to go back to the Holy Church. Should you go with me? Or go back to the Demon Realm first?"
Na Zhilidia nodded and kissed Keya again. She pestered him to be intimate, and didn't say she wanted to leave or stay. Keya had to hug her and kiss her deeply for a while before gently pushing her away, saying, "Okay, I really want to go back. Have you decided? Or go back to the demon world with me?"
Ke Ya suddenly widened her eyes, but saw that her face was flushed again, her expression was excited, and she couldn't help herself. This look was exactly the same as when she was impulsive just now.
"No? You have another attack? What have those two beasts fed you? Why are they endlessly?"
"Koya, please! Quick..."
In the grass in Zhila, the war broke out again. It was better to say that it was a... massacre! For the first time in his life, Ke Ya felt that it was not necessarily a happy thing...
In the evening, Ke Ya finally returned to the Holy Church. The great saint who had been anxiously waiting to see him cursed: "You are the goddess here. If you don't protect yourself, why are you running around everywhere?"
Ke Ya looked ashamed and had to smirk, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because I want to save someone, so there's nothing I can do. What's wrong with the goddess? Is she okay? Saint Eileen has been captured by the magic of the demon clan. Is there any way for the goddess to relieve it?"
The great saint gave him a blank look and said, "You need to save someone from morning to night? I think she must be a woman? Forget it, I don't have time to interrogate you now. Hurry up and go to the palace to attend a banquet with me! We are all late!"
When Ke Ya was stunned, she remembered that it seemed that it was today that she was going to attend the royal celebration banquet. But the goddess was in the Holy Church now. If she and the Great Saint left, who would take care of and protect the goddess?
He said at the moment: "Great Saint, I won't go to this royal banquet? I'm leaving, who will protect the goddess? Besides, I haven't slept for several days and had a good meal. I'm so tired, so let me stay in the Holy Church for a rest!
The great saint said, "How can that be done? His Majesty the Emperor specifically stated in the invitation that you want to attend. In fact, half of this banquet was held for you. How can you not attend?"
To be honest, Ke Ya was really tired. The night before yesterday, she and the goddess of love didn't sleep at all. Last night, in order to save Saint Eileen, she broke into the demon world and had to rest. Today, she fought with Lydia on the shore of the Full Moon Lake all day, and her waist was almost exhausted. Goddess! Ke Ya just wants to fall asleep now. How can she have the energy to attend any celebration banquet?
Helplessly, Ke Ya had to say, "Great Saint, just spare me. I'm really out of energy. By the way, the goddess said that if there is a devil in my body, it will attack at any time, so that I will follow her and not leave half a step away from me. Look, what if I get into an attack after I go and the goddess is not around?"
Suddenly, someone in the corridor laughed and said, "Then I'll go with you. If you have an attack, I can save you!"
Ke Ya turned around and saw two saints who had never seen before walking side by side in the corridor. They looked ordinary but had extremely beautiful figures. Ke Ya was wondering why, but the great saint hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "Master Goddess Isabella, are you ready?"
Ke Ya was shocked when she heard this and thought to herself that these two were goddesses? Why... have they become like this? Is the goddess of love back?
For a moment, he couldn't figure out who was, so he had to meet him, but he didn't know how to speak. But he saw one of the two saints coming directly to hold Ke Ya's hand and said caringly: "Ke Ya, what do you think now? Can the demonic energy in your body still be restrained? Sorry, I tried my best to do it, but I still can't help it now. Afu said that her singing can eliminate your evil thoughts, is it true?"
Needless to say, this must be the goddess of love Isabella. Keya hurriedly glanced at another saint, but saw that she pretended to be missing and was whispering to the great saint. Then she lowered her voice and said to her: "Goddess of love, you have harmed me. You obviously have a husband, why should you be with me?"
Isabella was stunned, with her confused eyes open and said softly: "What's wrong with having a husband? Can't the goddess with a husband love her?"
Ke Ya had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Women with husbands are accustomed to others. This is called adultery in the world, and they are scolded and ruled by the world. I think this is not allowed in heaven. I didn't know before that we can't make such mistakes again in the future."
Isabella's eyes widened and said, "Don't you know? Didn't I tell you that I have a husband? God and people are not allowed to fall in love, didn't you know it long ago?"
Ke Ya had no choice but to roll her eyes. Just as she was about to say in detail, Afu came over and said with a smile: "Okay, let's resolve your bad relationship in the future. It's too late. Now let's go to the royal banquet together!"
Ke Ya opened her mouth wide and said in surprise: "Goddess, are you saying that the four of us will go together?"
Afu smiled and said, "Yes! Isabella changed my appearance. I believe no one can recognize me. After hiding for so long, I was almost sick. I took this opportunity to go out for a relaxing time, and by the way, I can save you at any time. I have the goddess of love by my side and the safety is guaranteed. How good is it?"
The luxurious carriage that the royal family came to pick up the Great Saint has already been waiting outside the Holy Sect. The Great Saint and the Holy Sword Guardian took two followers and saints to the carriage and drove to the palace openly.
As soon as Ke Ya got into the car, he immediately sat in a corner and closed his eyes and took a nap. Today, he was so tired that he could not use the Force or the divine power of the Holy Sword. He could only rely on his own physical strength to move. He went crazy all day long, and now he was exhausted and almost died of energy. As soon as he closed his eyes, he immediately fell asleep.
Afu and Isabella both smiled and looked at Koya's sleeping scene, but Isabella whispered: "Afu, now I'm here to help you with all my heart. But we didn't have much friendship, so you know why I helped you. We can agree that once you pass the 100-day seal period safely, you have to give Koya to me."
"What do you mean to give it to you? If you have the ability, bring him back to heaven. Hey, I'm afraid that your God of War husband will not agree? Do you love a human being, and you dare to bring him with you openly?"
"...Oh! I know this is not realistic, but I just like him. Afu, what should I do? I am a god and it is impossible to be with him for a long time. When I think of him having to live a life without love for tens of thousands of years after his death, I feel very depressed and uncomfortable."
"Isabella, don't be stupid. Your love with Koya will never have a good result. Not to mention that you have married God long ago, if your husband knows the consequences. Let's say that the fifth rule of this heaven is that humans and gods are strictly prohibited from falling in love. Otherwise, you will be deprived of the divine nature, Koya will be killed by thunder, and both body and soul will be destroyed. The more you love him, the more you will harm him and yourself. As a friend, I would like to advise you to stop as soon as possible while the incident has not yet become a big deal."
"Afu, don't I know these things? But I... just can't bear to leave him. Without him, I think it's better to die. Otherwise, try to hide this matter for me. I will be very careful and hidden. As long as I can fall in love with him, even if it's secret and short-term, I will be satisfied, okay?"
"Oh! A bad fate! A bad fate!"
While speaking, the carriage had arrived at the palace. The Great Saint woke Koya up and got off the carriage with him first. Since the Great Saint is the leader of the Holy Church and has a respectable status, His Majesty Pierre VI personally led all civil and military officials and had been waiting for the greeting at the gate of the palace. After a while, the Great Saint introduced Koya to His Majesty. This was the first time His Majesty Pierre VI and Koya met Koya. Koya greeted the emperor according to the rituals. When he saw the legendary imperial hero, the emperor was also very happy. He actually stepped forward to hold Koya's hand and said a lot of encouragement.
A grand banquet was held in the largest Golden Lion Hall in the palace. The main hall was lined with small golden tables filled with rich food and wine. All the officials sat behind the small table. The emperor invited the Great Saint and Ke Ya to the imperial rank and sat on the main seat of the imperial platform. He and Queen Irina sat next to each other. The two goddesses stood behind the Great Saint and pretended to be the saint.
The dinner began. First, Pierre VI smiled and raised his wine glass to stand up, and shouted: "Great Saint, everyone. I received the war report this morning. My brave imperial army has completely restored the empire's territory and drove all the invaders out of our country's borders. This holy war to defend the country ended with our great victory. This victory is hard-won! This was exchanged for countless brave children of the empire and countless firm believers of the goddess and the holy religion. At the critical moment of life and death of the empire, they gritted their teeth and fought bloodily. For the sake of faith and the people, they paid a huge price for it. Here, at this time, I, the king, were in a very heavy mood. For these outstanding children of the empire who had sacrificed blood, I suggest that we give them a cup!"
As he said that, he gently spilled the wine in his hand on the ground. For a moment, everyone in the hall silently raised their wine glasses and toast a glass of thank you for these soldiers who fought bloody battles in the war.
Ke Ya also silently raised the wine glass, and was about to sprinkle it on the ground. A little hand stretched out from behind and heard Afu's voice say, "Let me do it!"
Ke Ya understood the goddess's intentions and handed the wine glass to her. After Afu took it, he closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and then gently spilled the wine in the glass to the ground.
After paying tribute to the heroes, Pierre VI filled his wine glasses again and said with a smile: "Although it is hard and we have paid too much. But we have won! We have won survival and freedom! This is a victory worth our celebration and worth our joyful drinking! Today is the fourteenth birthday of my two precious daughters. Seeing these two children, our relatives finally no longer suffer from the destruction of war. I am happy! Come! The heroes of the empire, the great saint, and my children. Today's second glass of wine is for your happiness and future, and for you to never endure this kind of suffering again. We celebrate here, and we bless you here. Let's drink a cup together and celebrate victory!"
Everyone in the hall raised their glasses again, but this time they were very happy and they drank happily. The banquet officially entered a celebratory atmosphere, and everyone sat down and started to eat and drink. Soon, Pierre VI and Queen Irina came over to toast the Great Saint and Koya. Koya hurriedly stood up with the Great Saint, thanked a few words, and then drank each other.
At this moment, the queen turned her eyes and looked at Ke Ya with a smile, and immediately said to her husband: "Your Majesty, don't just drink. You have to ask the Great Saint for serious things."
Pierre VI smiled, looked at Koya, and then said to the Great Saint: "Great Saint, since my ancestors I, the Great Saint, the Holy Church has been the only legal religion in the empire. Our royal family is the most devout believer of the goddess from top to bottom. Over the past two hundred years, under the protection of the goddess, the empire has achieved great development and remarkable achievements. In this war, the Holy Church has produced a young hero who is important for victory. Haha! The deeds of this young hero are now being circulated everywhere in the empire. With this hero, it is really a blessing for the empire and a blessing for the holy religion! I just don't know if this hero is married or has any woman he likes?"
Ke Ya was sweating as soon as she heard this! Sure enough, the Emperor was about to come to propose marriage in public. The Great Saint said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this young hero, who are you referring to?"
Queen Irina immediately smiled and said, "Who else is there except the handsome young man around you? We are all a family, so I just said it. Your Majesty and I have a daughter, who is only nineteen years old this year and is still quite good. If he doesn't dislike him, we want to betroth this daughter to the Saint Swordsman of Keya. The Big Saint, how can you see this?"
Ke Ya blushed, although their daughter was already his own person. However, it was the first time he had met him in his life when talking about marriage. Moreover, the Great Saint was also his lover. Will she agree to propose marriage to her?
