Chapter 917 Renouncing The Throne
Night had fallen on the Beastkin Continent. Elysia looked up at the beautiful sky of the snowy region in awe, but it became conflicted when the moon came into her view.
She might have enjoyed the beautiful starry night view at that time if she didn\'t know that the moon was the sealed ground for two dangerous Ruvoid Gods.
And she now looked up at the night sky from Evroria Palace because of Luna\'s sudden situation. They immediately left for the north after Ai met and exchanged words with Reinhard Clan\'s patriarch.
"Can\'t sleep?" Luna went closer and sat beside Elysia, looking up at the night sky while carrying a jug of sake.
"No. I\'ve made an appointment with Lady Tifa." Elysia shook her head.
"While the girls are asleep?" Luna looked back. The girls slept together on the folding beds.
"Hmm, how about this? If they are already asleep, then we can\'t invite them. Lady Tifa asked them not to attend her ritual ceremony?" Elysia put her hand to her chin while glancing behind her. She knew the girls were lying on the bed, pretending to be asleep. However, Gio and Cherub had fallen asleep because they were full.
"Eh, uh!? Hahaha, what are you saying, my Goddess? We are exchanging thoughts via telepathy. Yes, we haven\'t slept yet. So, you can\'t leave without us!" Sylvia suddenly jumped up from her bed and rolled close to Elysia.
"Is it like that? Then, we just need to wait for Lady Tifa, Lina, Aria, and Helen to finish preparing their preparations in the Nature Realm." Elysia stroked Sylvia gently.
"Heehee..." Sylvia melted and let the godly hand pamper her.
"Sorry to ask you all to immediately accompany me back to the Beastkin Continent. I only gave a notice to my trusted ones to prepare what I asked for, but they immediately became hysterical and begged me not to step down from the throne." Luna heaved a subtle sigh.
"It should be me who need to apologize. I caused everyone a trouble. You are loved by your citizen, and it\'s a difficult situation. Do you regret your decision, Luna?" Elysia shook her head slightly.
"Mm, it\'s time for me to retire and be a little selfish. I need to protect my new little family, my precious daughters. We have to lighten the burden and risk on your shoulders. Our failure will mean the complete destruction and extinction. We are ready to give everything for you to save the world, my almighty Goddess." Luna smiled gently and sipped her sake.
"To save the world, you are willing to give everything, huh... What will you do after the world is saved and there are no more threats from accursed creatures?" Elysia took the sake cup in Luna\'s hand, but Sylvia immediately snatched it.
The devil princess knew that Elysia was underage for that.
"We joined your pantheon to serve you with all our body, heart, and soul. Of course, we will always be with you like our vows. Our connected spirits are the prove of our faith. My descent from the throne is not worth the value of my devotion to you. Someone better will replace the Fox Empress." Luna put her hand on her upper chest. She conveyed her faith with high regard.
"Or, do you want to do more for you? Oh my, I\'ll gladly to warm your bed if you ask me to~" Luna smiled mischievously and licked her sweet cherry lips.
"Lynn\'s mother is so lewd, more than pervert Sylvi." Yuuki commented as she wrapped herself in a blanket.
"Mother... are you trying to seduce a Goddess?" Lynn put her hand to her face in embarrassment and surprise.
"Is this your mating season? I\'m in danger then." Elysia chuckled and rolled her eyes. She took Luna\'s last sentence as a joke and replied with another.
"E-eh?" Luna widened her eyes in shock upon a realization.
"What\'s wrong?" Elysia asked in wonder.
"Eh, ahaha... It\'s okay. I need to hold a small meeting between the beastkins." Luna laughed awkwardly and covered her mouth with her folding fan.
"I heard that your bunny girl is still kneeling behind the door. Is it fine to leave her overnight like that? Then, what are your plans if you step down from the throne? It hasn\'t been announced yet, but chaos will ensue if news spreads." Elysia looked towards the door with a bit of worry.
"She\'s so stubborn. Though, I might not need to abdicate. Everything will probably be fine. I\'m just preparing everything in case something unexpected happens. Let me talk to her." Luna heaved a subtle sigh as she looked towards the door.
"However, you have sent a notification to the revered dragon clan. You created a situation where the Sky Dragon, Kazuma Aozora, the ruler of the dragonic mountains, has no choice but to agree. Tomorrow morning, he and his subordinates will come here to ask for an explanation from you. It\'s going to be a bit frenetic~" Sylvia hummed excitedly. She couldn\'t wait to see what would happen tomorrow morning.
"Hmm, that\'s an easy matter. I\'ll talk to Yusagi in a bit. Vann, Yuuki, Lynn... We\'ll have a small meeting after this." Luna stood up.
"Why only four of you? Count me in. I also want to know your problem." Sylvia felt curious.
"Uh, well... Alright, this is a meeting for non human girls only." Luna glanced at Sylvia for a moment, then pleaded with Elysia. She went out because she needed to talk to her most trusted aide one more time.
"Xentia also! Xentia is not completely human, right?" Xentia raised her hand high.
"Nay, you don\'t have the same problem. You, Eve, and Ella will be fine." Luna waved her hand and walked out of the room. Elysia permitted by making way for Luna to cross her barrier.
*Clack*
The door was closed, and the girls immediately moved to crowd around Elysia. Even though Elysia was currently still using the appearance of the Goddess of Light, they truly wanted to talk to Elysia while looking at the moon. It must be nice.
"Is it alright to openly stare at the moon like this?" Lynn worried because she treated the moon as a giant evil eye, always watching and spying on them.
"That\'s fine. We can look out, but no one can spy in." Elysia looked up at the beautiful starry night sky again.
After hearing that response, Vanessa and Yuuki looked at each other and transformed into little beasts. They snuggled up on their master\'s lap happily. Lynn felt like joining in and caught up shortly after.
"Mou, don\'t just leave your sleeping pajamas and panties on the floor." Evelyn complained a little, but she started folding the scattered clothes.
"That looks comfy, snuggled together... I\'m a demonic dragon, can I become a small dragon? Just like Gio\'s skill?" Sylvia rolled to the side and placed her head on Ella\'s lap.
"No one knows if you haven\'t tried." Ella smiled slightly. She had gotten used to getting along with this devil princess, even though she was a holy maiden.
"Mm, you\'re right. I\'ll give it a try once I learn how. It\'s only a matter of time until I can transform into a fearsome dragon, hehe~" Sylvia chuckled and summoned her reddish-black dragonic horns and tail.
"Oh my." Elysia stroked the fluffy little ones in turn.
"Master, we will be with you forever. I want to know more about your life and your passion. We will see the sunrise, sunset, and midnight moon together." Vanessa looked up as she purred.
"I am grateful to meet you in this lifetime. Thank you for entrusting your future to me." Elysia looked at everyone gratefully.
"This is destiny. I can finally explore another world with completely different world laws. I can\'t wait to travel the world while saving the world, hmm-mm~" Fortuna lay down on her stomach and rested her cheek against her hand.
"Ely, you were mine when we were in the Boundless Realm, but am I yours now. It\'s my payback? Are you going to take responsibility for it like how I treat you?" Ai smiled mysteriously.
"Hmm, I will take good care of you, much better than how you treated me. However, is that something you would ask as a big sister to a little sister?" Elysia poked Ai\'s cheek in amusement.
"Whoa, what things have you done in the Boundless Realm? I heard, you were stuck there for years, just the two of you! You exchanged warmth in the darkness, and-" Sylvia clapped her hands as her imagination went wild.
"Just a moment please, pervert Sylvi." Evelyn tickled Sylvia\'s tummy to keep the devil princess from taking the conversation into something lewd.
"Hyaa!? Eve, what are you doing? That\'s ticklish. Hehe, haha... Stop, please." Sylvia tried to cover her tummy and immediately caught Evelyn\'s naughty hands.
\'Ely, our preparations are complete. Lifa is waiting for you under her main body now for her spirit-bonding ritual. It\'s a bit different and the preparation is a bit of a pain, I must say. She is the Tree of Life, after all...\' Elena breathed a sigh of relief as she gave her report.
\'Thank you for your hard work, my dear big sis. Luna\'s affairs are over, but trouble will come tomorrow morning. Can everyone come with me to the Nature Realm to witness Lady Lifa\'s spirit bonding ritual?\' Elysia glanced towards the door. At the same time, she asked Luna to choose between coming or waiting.
\'Worry not. Lifa said it\'s fine. Come to Nature Realm now with everyone.\' Elena conveyed her confirmation.
Elysia waited for Luna to return, then opened the portal to the Nature Realm.
The portal was left ajar, and Nell stood guard near it to observe the overall situation.
