Chapter 415: Ranchi, Talia's Rumored Boyfriend
Chapter 415: Ranchi, Talia's Rumored Boyfriend
Aubrey watched Antanas' reaction, as well as the face of the Great Lover, careful not to let her emotions show. She didn't want to ruin the wonderful situation that Ranchi had created.
But inside, her heart was stirring with emotions.
The Great Lover glanced at Aubrey, their eyes meeting.
It was as if he was confirming that her suspicions were correct.
In fact, Ranchi had only recently pieced everything together himself. Among the three of them at Cat Boss's place, they each knew some things and were ignorant of others.
Aubrey was the second one to figure it all out.
"..."
Aubrey's eyes began to glisten with a sheen of tears.
It was hard to tell if it was surprise, joy, or gratitude that overwhelmed her the most, but in this situation, she knew she should remain calm and not give away her feelings.
Once again, it was Ranchi who, when she knew nothing, had brought her so much happiness.
Being cared for by a mother, something she had fantasized about since childhood but never dared to hope for, was supposed to be something she could only experience in her dreams.
She never imagined that what she thought she would never have was actually within her grasp, right there in the wooden house of Ichiritte Cat Boss's restaurant.
"Talia... so you're Talia, my dear Tata..."
At this moment, Aubrey understood a little more about her happiness, and she wanted to say so much to Ranchi. She wanted to go back to the Southern Continent and hug Tata, to tell her how grateful she was and how she felt in her heart.
This gentle realization was not a miracle of magic, but the reality she was living.
"..."
The Great Lover gently patted Aubrey's head. After witnessing her dream, he felt that she cried too easily.
She was so different from the way she used to be, with her mutterings of "virtue" and the way her tears would well up in the corners of her eyes.
"Seeing how close the two of you are, it reminds me of Talia and Ifatiah."
Antanas remarked as she observed the affectionate dynamic between the Great Lover and Aubrey.
"...Miss Antanas, this Aubrey is indeed Ifatiah's daughter, but I am not related to Talia by blood. I must emphasize that our employment contract is genuine and valid."
Ranchi refocused his attention on Antanas, reiterating his point.
"No need to lie to me. You're Talia's daughter; you look so much like her... yet different, perhaps because of your father."
"... "
"Why won't you acknowledge your mother?"
"Everything I've told you is the truth. I don't want you to discover the truth later and feel like I deceived you."
"...Is that so."
Guardian Antanas' eyes reflected only sadness.
She was very familiar with Talia's personality, and she could understand why Talia's relationship with her daughter was so strained.
"I just want to confirm a few things before we proceed with the transaction."
Antanas looked at Aubrey intently and said seriously.
Since Talia's daughter had categorically denied it, she could only ask Ifatiah's daughter.
"Please go on."
Aubrey maintained a polite demeanor towards her elder.
"Do you both have the blood of the Evil Demon Tribe flowing in your veins? Was she born of Talia?"
Antanas looked at the Great Lover and then questioned Aubrey.
"Yes... yes, that's right."
Aubrey replied hesitantly.
She recalled that the Great Lover was indeed created by Miss Tata and Ranchi, working together.
"Knowing this is enough for me."
Antanas confirmed with certainty.
"..."
Ranchi realized that he wouldn't be able to convince Antanas for the time being, so he could only take her back to the principal's office first and then perform a Grand Lover summon with his true self.
"We are currently facing an enemy in the Protoss Empire that we must defeat. Miss Antanas, can you help us?"
The Grand Lover once again used [Grand Lover Transformation: Human] to turn into a black-haired, green-eyed appearance and wore a mask that locked his jaw, as if he was about to finish up and leave.
"Of course. Whoever dares to harm you, I will never let them off the hook."
Antanas' eyes turned cold, and the most vicious killing intent of the Great Demon began to emerge.
...
At this moment, no one noticed.
In the high-dimensional space, there was someone who wanted to run away.
Lorenz was already sweating profusely when he saw the Grand Lover reveal her true self.
He had seen this summon several times in Iceritte, and whenever Ranchi summoned her, nothing good ever happened.
Lorenz couldn't deny the truth any longer.
It was obvious that this summon was being controlled by Ranchi, who was assisting Aubrey in carrying out the priestly mission! Lorenz had always wanted to believe that Aubrey was a well-behaved child.
Now, it seemed that something was amiss with their team, and the root of the problem lay squarely with Ranchi!
Wasn't he supposed to be in the Northern Continent working on the 'Seeking the Stone Tablet Holder' project? How did you end up getting involved with the likes of the Resurrection Church while seeking the stone tablet?!
And at this moment, even without looking up, Lorenz felt the icy gaze of the Ice Witch upon him.
For the Ice Witch, too, seemed to have made the connection between this summon and Ranchi.
On the other side of the high-dimensional space.
The Ice Witch was so angry that she felt like laughing.
The summoned being with gray hair and a red skirt, wasn't this the "companion of Ranchi's epic summon" that Aubrey had shown her the other day?
So it was your student, Lorenz, who led Aubrey astray.
And you, what were you looking at me for earlier?
For now, it couldn't be concluded that Ranchi had led Aubrey astray, causing her to defect to the Resurrection Church.
It couldn't yet be called a major culpable malicious incident.
And it wasn't enough to incriminate Lorenz.
The Ice Witch calmed her thoughts slightly.
What truly surprised her was the true appearance of the Grand Lover, which she had not seen in the temple before.
She never expected a summon to resemble Talia so closely.
The Ice Witch did recall that this gray-haired, red-skirted summon had a somewhat unique nature, and she had originally thought that this demon summon was created using Aubrey's blood as a medium, hence the demonic aura. But it turned out that Talia herself was the blueprint.
Its creator could even be Talia.
So Talia herself was connected to this young man named Ranchi.
The Ice Witch now felt like she had seen through a clouded mystery, and hearing the conversation between the Grand Lover and Antanas, she basically understood the whole story.
But now, Antanas' misunderstanding had gone too far—
One Antanas was fine, but if the other two great demons in the lower two layers also mistook the Grand Lover for Talia's daughter, the news that the Demon Princess Talia was married would spread throughout the Protoss Empire.
What if Talia herself found out one day?
Talia might just take a knife and end her life with the culprit!
