SON OF THE HERO KING

407 CH 373: GOING TO THE CHURCH

“Are you really Aurora?”

Camelia’s voice as she spoke was calm and devoid of any emotion in appearance. But Aurora suddenly felt like hundreds of spears were pointing at her.

It seemed like if she gave the wrong answer, Camelia was ready to skewer to death no matter what the consequences would be for her.

The pressure was impossible to explain and anyone with a guilty mind would have at least faltered.

But…The smile on Aurora’s face never crumbled.

“Am I really Aurora? I fear that I am unable to understand your question. I am myself and this has never changed.”

‘She is telling the truth.’

Camellia frowned but she knew that everything depended on the words.

“Let me repeat again. Are you really Aurora? Yes or No.”

“I am Aurora. However, I must say that the way I am being welcomed in this sacred place chills my heart. Did I displease you?”

Camelia ignored Aurora's question and walked before standing in front of her, “Then. Let me rephrase. Were you always Aurora?”

For the first time, the smile on Aurora’s face crumbled a little, “I did not come down here to get interrogated like a criminal. Excuse me, but I have other tasks to attend to.”

Her smile came back as she looked into Camelia’s eyes, “So either kill me now and fall with me or give me a break.”

The killing intent increased as Camelia seemed really ready to strike. There was no limitation for Blessed under the same goddess to fight and kill each other. This was how the current Wolf King usurped power from his brother. [1]

But even then it wasn’t like it would go without consequences. Camelia was not a forgiving person.

She did not care either that this was Gerald’s granddaughter.

If the bitch proved to be a menace then she was ready to put her down without hesitation.

“One last question. Will you ever hurt Sol?”

“Why should I answer any more of your question?”

Her words came out calmly. An instant response and not even a shadow of a smile on her face. Her gaze changed as she looked at Camelia like she was looking at a small kid throwing a tantrum and for an instant, a very short instant, her blue eyes shone with a golden luster. But she simply bowed her head fast enough before Camelia could notice this and choose to hide all her changes of expression.

Placing her hands on her face, she made sure she was smiling once again before raising her head up.

“I believe it’s time for me to go.”

She was about to turn around but stopped after giving a glance at the circle drawn on the ground, “Also, that circle is inefficient. Those three lines increase the consumption of divine blood necessary.”

She gave a bow and walked away—leaving behind a bewildered Camelia.

She might not have seen her eyes, but she did not need to. After all, the soul of that woman had flared with a golden light and for a short instant….It looked like a small rising Sun.

Walking alone in the corridor of the church, Aurora's steps were light as she radiated a light of insouciance.

‘I wonder. What will happen now.’

Thankfully…Camelia should not be able to understand what was going on so her memory would not be read.

‘I am still so weak currently.’

She hummed. She wanted to move fast. She had so much work to do before the others started waking up.

She was lucky to have a greater advance and she would capitalize on that.

“Holy daughter. His highness, Sol Luxuria will soon visit the church.”

She was stopped on her walk as a few nuns came to report to her. The young ones in the church were slowly gathering around her and it was making many tasks far easier for her.

“Today is a bad day.”

She wished to meet him and talk to him. But it seemed like it would be better to avoid him for the time being.

Too many eyes would be on him.

She had been lucky enough until now. There was no need to tempt Fate now. It was already wild enough as it was.

“Hum~Hum~Hum~!”

—---

After leaving the cemetery, Sol began to move fast. He had already wasted enough time by being sentimental.

He did not enter the tower. As he did not wish to face Ambrosia nor any of the witches now. It was necessary for them to think about the way they would act in the future.

Now he did not need the witches as much but if possible, he wished to make Ambrosia leave her hypocritical neutrality.

Having an ally like her would be truly helpful and while he didn’t need her to fight for him, he wanted to at least have her at his back.

After all, you could never know what you will be facing in the future and he did not wish to have a bad relationship with his mother-in-law.

He used his link to send a message to Isis, asking her to warn Milia about the visit of the ‘princess’. He really wished he could see what she would look like when she finally stepped in the tower.

Truly, he had never been more grateful for the secrecy Milia had always insisted on. He could also understand now why some people liked acting weak before using their true power and surprising the crow.

It sure felt good to do this.

Once he was sure that this was taken care of, he focused on his incoming face-to-face against the goddess.

From what he remembered, his grandfather, Neptune, had slowly started to lose his blessings.

He wondered if it had happened because of all the experiments he made or if it was because of his incoming birth.

Even so, he did not wish to take any risk. He still needed his title as Blessed for now either way.

Once everything was ready, he started walking toward the Church but was soon stopped by a carriage from which a few maids came down before asking him to enter.

The interior of the carriage was quite luxurious and comfy and Sol did not even feel the movement or the shaking.

“Your highness, should we go back for your to change?”

He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday and from the way, the maids were looking at him with uneasiness, he decided to appease them by changing the clothes he was wearing using mana.

He did not really like doing this because there was a high chance he could go naked by losing control. But it would not matter where he was going.

“You three…how have you been?”

He smiled as he recognized the maids, they were part of the groups with which he had his very first orgy.

From the symbol on their maid attires, he could see they had jumped in grades and were now a senior maids. This was quite an achievement.

“Your highness remember our poor selves?”

He smiled as he leaned on his seat, “I never forget my partners. No matter how shallow our relationship was and I had a good memory of our time together.” [2]

He sure had. One cat girl, a dark elf, and three humans. Currently, the three maids present were two out of the three humans and the cat girl.

Back then, he had just lost his virginity to Milia and was going wild because of all the sudden privilege bestowed on him.

Who wouldn’t? An entire castle full of nubile young women entirely dedicated to him and selected with precision by the woman who had the greatest dedication for him. [3]

“So, what do you think of life in the castle? Is it boring?”

The cat girl almost nodded before shaking her head, “It’s boring sometimes but the handmaid always makes sure we can get some entertainment and we can sometimes visit our family. Though sometimes some maids choose to not come back after doing so.”

Sol’s eyebrow rose at this. He was not an accountant but he knew that the salary of those maids was pretty high and they received many advantages.

There were only two possible reasons for early retirement.

Either they found someone they liked and decided to leave or…They talked too much and Milia gave them an eternal vacation.

Sol found nothing wrong with Milia's approach. The security of the tower depended on how tight-lipped the maid could be. So any form of betrayal should be met by death.

‘Well, way to bring my mood down.’

He showed no changes on his face as he continued to speak with the maids. They were pretty innocent and he had taken their bodies. So the least he could do was entertain them a little.

If he wasn’t so busy now, he would certainly have some fun with them.

Sol nearly laughed at his ridiculous thoughts.

Here he was, about to face the true master of this universe but all he could really think of was sex.

‘But seriously. I need to find a way to relax later on.’

One small orgy after facing them wouldn’t be a problem, right? A man needed some encouragement.

It was only after the carriage stopped in front of the church and he saw Chloe waiting for him that he shook off his lewd thoughts. He would have all the time in the world to have sex as he wished.

Now was the timee to get serious.

[1]: You should reread Setsuna Interlude and Lilith’s Interlude. As they will be very necessary for the incoming arc. Also, it seems like many don’t like Aurora haha. Well, I can understand why. Her true importance won’t be revealed now. Creating too many threads at the same time would just confuse me.

[2]: Vol 1 CH 6: Heated Bath

[3] CH 46: Daily life of a maid.

(AN: By the way guys, I spoke about this on pa treon but would you guys be interested if I start something like a streaming channel? Honestly always wished to develop a tight community. It could be interesting to discuss and answering to possible questions you may have in a Live. Though gotta be honest. My spoken English is pretty trash. I learned English by playing Visual Novels. Imagine learning a language just to play Eroge and read manga translations. My main language is French but French ScanTrad was trash in the past (when Naruto was still ongoing). Though way better nowadays.)
