Chapter 584: 534 The Gloom in the Queen’s Heart_2
It could only be said that the reputation and presence of those around that alien male were so strong that they sowhat overshadowed his own radiance.
This was a very interesting phenonon.
“The big shots only noticed Earl Bezut, and only those who could not show their faces in public took a second look at him because of the people around Earl Bezut,”
Sophie pointed out the main issue.
“Little did they know, in the end, all those great beings were actually revolving around Earl Bezut, with him at the center.”
This was what truly frightening.
What did that imply?
It indicated that there indeed was sothing about Shane that warranted those influential figures to regard him as an equal, even a central figure.
“Now, the arrival of the Nuadra Goddess also proves this point,”
Sophie’s voice reached the ears of Leiya and Nia.
“The Nuadra Goddess did not co to see the Dragon Demon, nor did she co for the Beast Demon and the Ghost Demon, and definitely not for the Evil God Lilith.”
“The Goddess wants to et Earl Bezut.”
“Even the matter concerning rica was probably only secondary, right?”
Sophie’s words left Leiya and Nia simultaneously silent.
At this mont, they both had one question in their hearts.
What exactly allowed this alien male to achieve all this?
And what about that constant sense of closeness he emanated?
Leiya and Nia beca curious.
So was Sophie, but she quickly pushed down the curiosity that arose in her heart.
Because Sophie did not want to take an interest in Shane.
Once she beca interested in an alien male, it was very likely she would be unable to resist approaching him.
And if she got too close, was it possible that she would be attracted to him?
rely contemplating it, Sophie did not dare to think any further.
Thus, Sophie quickly quashed the thoughts in her heart.
This was sothing Sophie was very good at.
For the sake of avoiding getting too close to alien males, thereby entertaining inappropriate thoughts, Sophie had been doing just this for thousands of years, consciously keeping her distance from alien males.
If it were not for such restraint, Sophie would not have remained true to herself for thousands of years, even in the presence of Heroes, without altering her deanor.
(I am of the Elf Royal Family, the guide and leader of the Elf Clan.)
(I have so many clanspeople to care for and protect. If I were to fall in love, lose my true self, and beco blind with passion, I could potentially neglect so many of my people.)
(I cannot do that.)
Yes.
Cannot do that.
Simply because she dared not bear the consequences, nor did she wish to.
(Maybe it’s better not to think about that Earl.)
Sophie cautioned herself.
Even if she thought more, what would it change?
Even if she could find out the reason why he was so special, what then?
Would she gain the slightest benefit?
She could not!
(We Elves are naturally isolated from the world. What does it matter how he is special?)
With this inner admonition, Sophie quickly regained her composure.
At that mont, Leiya suddenly said sothing.
“Your Majesty,” Leiya seed to have thought of sothing important, and after hesitating for a mont, she spoke softly, “Do you think it’s possible that rica could receive the blessing from the Nuadra Goddess?”
With that, Sophie was jolted awake.
“Blessing…”
Sophie muttered to herself.
She knew what Leiya ant.
What Leiya referred to was the power that every mber of the Elf Clan dread of obtaining—the “Blessing of the Nature Goddess.”
“It’s possible,” Sophie’s eyes lit up as she spoke to herself, “rica has already acquired magic power rivaling that of the Royal Family; it’s very likely that the Nuadra Goddess will bless her, allowing her to beco her own Blessing.”
If that were the case, it would be a fortuitous event for the Elf Clan.
The Elf Clan hadn’t given birth to a child blessed by the Nature Goddess in a very long ti.
For the elves, who regarded the Nature Goddess as the highest faith, this was indeed a matter of great concern.
If rica were to be chosen by the Nuadra Goddess and beco her Blessing, it would definitely be a joyful occasion worthy of celebration by the entire Elf Clan.
However, Nia, who was nearby, said this.
“Is that even possible?” Nia questioned without a second thought, “Even the Queen herself didn’t receive the blessing of the Nuadra Goddess; even if rica possesses magic power comparable to that of the Royal Family, that doesn’t necessarily an she will be favored by the Nuadra Goddess, does it?”
Upon hearing this, Sophie’s gaze imdiately dimd.
“Nia!”
Leiya scolded out loud.
“I… I’m sorry, Your Majesty!”
It was then that Nia realized her mistake and quickly knelt down.
There was no helping it.
Not receiving the Blessing of the Nature Goddess was a lifelong sorrow for Sophie.
Originally, as a mber of the Royal Family, Sophie had the opportunity to receive the Blessing of the Nature Goddess.
Unfortunately, at that ti, the battle between the God and Demon Clans was at its most critical, and the Hero who appeared was guided by the Nature Goddess herself, causing her to miss Sophie’s blessing ceremony. Instead, an Upper-level God whom she trusted most had to perform the blessing for Sophie.
For Sophie, this was not a glorious matter, but rather a deep humiliation.
In the tens of thousands of years of elf history, including Sophie, only three mbers of the Royal Family were born, and the first two ultimately gained the favor of the Nature Goddess and were blessed by her—only she herself missed the chance to beco the Blessing of the Nature Goddess, an unfortunate event that would no doubt be recorded in the annals of history.
Now that peace had co, Sophie was certain that future mbers of the Royal Family would not miss out on the Blessing of the Nature Goddess.
As a result, she beca the only mber of the Elf Royal Family in history not to receive the blessing from the Nature Goddess.
How painful and regretful this was for Sophie, one could only imagine.
Of course, Nuadra was well aware of this.
In fact, Nuadra had wanted to bless Sophie many tis, to replace the blessing she had given with her own.
Generally speaking, the Human Race could only receive a blessing from one goddess, one chance for a divine blessing, and even the gods themselves couldn’t swap it out if they wanted to.
But Fate Goddess Lidas, being the closest to omnipotence, had the authority to erase the blessings given to humans.
If she could ask that supre goddess to act, then Nuadra could bless Sophie again, enabling her to beco her own Blessing.
Originally, this was what Nuadra had in mind. She believed that she could make up the blessing for Sophie later, which is why she had sent her most capable Upper-level God to temporarily bless Sophie first, during the critical period of the battle when she also had to guide the Hero.
Who could have expected, an accident ant that all these plans could not be realized.
Sophie recalled that ti, her face showing a bitter smile and helplessness.
“Rise, Nia.” Sophie personally helped Nia up, shook her head at the girl who looked like she was about to cry, and consoled her, “What you said is not wrong, I didn’t receive the blessing of the Nuadra Goddess, that’s the truth.”
“But…!” Nia wanted to say sothing, and even Leiya seed ready to speak, but Sophie stopped her.
“The truth is the truth, no matter what we say, we can’t change it,” said Sophie generously, “Thousands of years have passed, I’ve long since co to terms with it, so there’s no need for you to worry about .”
Hearing this, Leiya and Nia bowed their heads and said no more.
Sophie, still wearing a smile on her face, kept her own thoughts to herself.
“Rumble…”
Suddenly, the Temple’s grand door emitted a booming sound.
“They’re coming.”
Sophie’s spirit refreshed, she called out to her two downcast confidants, and together they looked towards the direction of the Temple door.
Within the slowly opening door, the figure who had entered the Temple an hour ago erged.
However, upon seeing that figure, Sophie and her group couldn’t help but be stunned.
The reason was simple.
The person who ca out of the Temple was alone.
