Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first? Chapter 764: 136: Tears of the Enchanting Demon

Chapter 764: Chapter 136: Tears of the Enchanting Demon

dea walked briskly through the woods.

Initially, her expression turned cold, rely intending to scare Aske a bit, including the tears that followed; she had cried on purpose for him to see.

After all, Enchanting Demons possess an almost instinctive racial Talent for gauging n’s psyches and performing.

However, for so reason, once she was completely out of Aske’s sight, she couldn’t seem to stop her tears.

It was like the flood waters that had breached a small hole in the dam, gradually becoming uncontrollable—turning into a miserable, loud sobbing.

So, Aske, why didn’t you co after ?

Arriving at a small lake in the forest, dea, already hoarse from crying, stopped her sobbing, silently crouched down hugging her knees, not caring about the muddy ground below, and just like that, she sat down gloomily with her face buried in her knees.

So, what in the world am I crying for…

It’s so embarrassing…

She wiped her face hard to clear the tears, but they just wouldn’t stop, more kept dripping down, so dea scooped up a handful of clear water from the lake to wash and wet her entire face.

There, now no one can tell I’ve been crying.

Feeling aggrieved, she sniffed, and as dea blankly stared at her reflection on the lake’s surface, she heard Sigrdrifa’s voice behind her:

“dea?”

“Sigrdrifa?” dea, sowhat in a panic, attempted to stand up but almost lost her balance.

“Have you been crying?” Sigrdrifa stared at her face.

“No, I an…” dea took a deep breath, “Sand got into my eyes, couldn’t get it out, it’s very uncomfortable.”

“It must be a very bad grain of sand,” Sigrdrifa said earnestly.

dea: ………..

She couldn’t tell whether Sigrdrifa was implying sothing or just casually speaking.

“Do you mind if I sit beside you?” Sigrdrifa asked.

dea shook her head.

So Sigrdrifa sat down next to her, mimicking her embrace of her knees, and silently looked towards the other side of the lake.

The two girls sat there in silence, viewing the scenery, and after about ten minutes, Sigrdrifa suddenly asked in a low voice:

“dea, what exactly is it like to like soone?”

“Hmm.” dea thought for a long ti and said, “It’s probably that kind of feeling… where the softest part of your heart gets pierced by him. Just a little deeper and you’ll bleed uncontrollably.”

“Doesn’t that hurt?” Sigrdrifa asked in surprise.

“Yes.” dea unconsciously hugged her knees tighter, “It hurts a lot, even the strongest person couldn’t help but shed tears.”

“I see,” Sigrdrifa said softly.

A few minutes passed before she spoke again:

“I think I can understand the pain you’re talking about, it indeed sounds very uncomfortable.”

“Oh.” dea didn’t look at her, just kept staring at the lake’s surface and said, “You like the Squad Leader too?”

“Mm,” Sigrdrifa casually picked up a stone from the side and threw it into the lake, creating ripples.

“When did it happen?” dea originally thought she would be angry, but her heart felt no ripples… after all, there were already enough won who liked that scumbag.

“I don’t know,” Sigrdrifa shook her head blankly.

dea remained silent for a long ti and also picked up a stone. She stared at it for a good while.

“So, you don’t know either,” she muttered to herself, gradually revealing a bitter smile again.

Like skimming stones, the two kept throwing rocks into the water. Sigrdrifa’s landing spots were rather stable, while dea just randomly tossed, causing ssy splashes and ripples everywhere.

“Will there be a good outco?” Sigrdrifa sighed.

“Not necessarily,” dea said, “In matters like this, many don’t have a good ending.”

“What then?” Sigrdrifa asked.

“Just let it be,” dea replied.

“Are you content with that?” Sigrdrifa inquired.

“What can I do if I’m not content?” dea grimaced, “Could I even stop him?”

“Why couldn’t you?” Sigrdrifa looked at her in surprise.

“Because…” dea opened her mouth.

“Because we aren’t strong enough,” Sigrdrifa provided the answer for her, “If we were powerful enough, could we keep the Squad Leader by our side, then?”

“Yes, of course,” dea showed a smile, “But if we forcibly keep him, that can hardly be called true love, can it?”

“So, it won’t work?” Sigrdrifa, sowhat vexed, tossed the stone in her hand into the lake.

“Not necessarily,” dea said, slowly making a decision in her heart.

Even if he doesn’t forgive afterward, at least…

With this mission completed, the mbers of The Azure Longsword were ready to set out in search of the second Fire Island.

In the process, they took the opportunity to have Maya’s Half-elf ssenger report to Roger Deslar, the Great Captain of the Bull rcenary Group in Valencia City, that we had completed the mission 120% beyond expectation.

As for Roger Deslar, the Great Captain of the Bull rcenary Group in Valencia, the expression on his face upon receiving the news was naturally priceless.

Okay, I rely asked you to contact the Half-elves to see if an alliance could be negotiated… How did you end up integrating and unifying their internal splinter factions while delivering the ssage?

Regardless, this outco was indeed much beyond the Bull rcenary Group’s expectations, and Deslar could already imagine the frustrated look on Ferdinand, the Vice Captain’s face.

Deslar, as the Great Captain, had certainly heard about Aragon Royal Family’s monopolistic ventures in Lusitania.

However, these matters were bound to not affect The Azure Longsword’s progress, as next they were set to depart the continent, venturing into the depths of the Atlantis Ocean to the west, in search of a mysterious island.

“Over five thousand kiloters from the continent?” Thira exclaid, “Aske, you should know that even from Constantinople to the most western edge of the continent, where we are located, the straight-line distance is only a bit over three thousand kiloters. What’s more, we’re to sail such a distance over the sea!”

“It’s not that exaggerated,” Eleanor reminded her, “Firstly, with Fire Island in our possession, the supply issues common vessels encounter don’t apply to us.”

“What about our position, then?” Thira countered, “There are no landmarks at sea, and we don’t have a Navigator familiar with the Atlantis Ocean. What if we get lost? What if the ship encounters a Storm and sinks? Do any of us have the Spirituality to fly back to the continent with an Ancient Book?”

“Not at this stage,” dea laughed, “But, in a month’s ti, perhaps not.”

“What do you an?” Thira frowned.

“Peggy is already at Lv.19,” Aske replied, “In the next month, as long as we ensure she completes Body Conceptualization and Law weaving, crossing the Lv.20 Demigod threshold, we can greatly increase our survival rate overseas.”
