Chapter 530 CH 490: FOCUS

What happens when three Geniuses in different fields sit at the same table?

Pure Manheim.

Sitting in his dimension, Sol observed the meeting between the three women and wished he had something like Popcorn and soda.

At first, when Sol brought Kali and Arachne to the dungeon, Theresa welcomed them with a beaming smile before asking them to take place.

But the moment Sol "left", things became far more complicated.

Theresa and Arachne were friends who had worked for years together and had the roles of support during their years as Heroes.

But this did not mean that they were perfectly in synchro.

It was exactly because they knew each other that they felt more competitive.

Finally, there was Kali who technically had been an enemy not long ago for them.

Kali and Arachne had a weird relationship as she was the one who tried to recruit Arachne to the wings of freedom.

This made things very awkward for Kali.

It didn't help that Theresa had killed one of her siblings who was a cult follower of Ymir and helped fund some of the terrorist actions of the Wings.

No matter how much of a temporary member she had been, it was hard for her to erase this stigma.

Well...That's what she felt at first.

But the moment she saw them —

"Mecha..."

Her breath became rough, her eyes even redder than normal and she could feel saliva flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Hehehe..."

Theresa and Arachne both took a few steps back at the sudden display and creepy laugh coming from Kali.

"Witch of Destruction?"

"Heh...Oh? Sorry, sorry. My bad."

Kali immediately wiped the saliva and looked at Theresa with eyes shining like a starved wolf finally finding food.

"My new best friend. I believe it's time to work."

Theresa had no time to ask since the two of them became friends and she was pulled forward by Kali.

Looking at all of this, Sol chuckled and began walking away.

He was sure that things would be alright.

Though,

"I should ask Freya to seal the whole zone just to be sure."

This time it wouldn't be to stop people from reaching this place but rather to protect anyone unlucky enough to come close to this place.

Back in Lustburg, Clara adjusted her glasses as she sat in her office.

She was quite tired and she hadn't seen the sun in a few days, but it was all worth it.

The war effort was progressing greatly and while the Dwarves increased the price of the goods imported, it was still in the reasonable zone.

He had to show her that her Lord was not a fool who could not see through her duplicity.

This was the only way to keep her feeling awe and respect towards him.

After all, people had the bad habit of looking down on those they managed to fool once.

Sol tapped his finger, "I believe you."

"Your Majesty."

"Do you know why I kept you at my side despite knowing that you might potentially be a spy?"

Clara shook her head.

"It's because I am sure that, no matter what you did, I would be able to handle it."

He smiled at her, "Rise."

Clara nodded and stood up. Though her expression was normal, she could feel cold sweat on her back.

She did not doubt that she might have been eliminated if Sol had suspected her loyalty even in the slightest.

'Ah– Your Majesty.'

The way he had just treated her was so cool!!!

Clara bites her lips to keep her expression from growing slack.

She felt like her heartbeat reached a point where it might explode in her chest with how fast it was beating.

'Perhaps I should have been a little more suspicious?'

She wondered then if Sol would have roughed her up a little bit more or brought her in a dungeon for some special kind of interrogation like in the book she read.

"Heheh..."

Sol looked bewildered as he gazed at Clara.

Despite what she was thinking — She had sadly not managed to keep her expression in check.

'Perhaps I should change advisor?'

He chuckled and ignored the pervert elf who was deep in her Delusions and focused on work.

Soon, he will meet the witches. This mean it was also time to have contact with Nefertiti.

'Only a few weeks went past. Logically speaking, Nefertiti shouldn't have been able to do much.'

At least this was how it should be when taking into account what was in the realm of possibility.

But — This was Nefertiti they were talking about.

'I am sure I will be agreeably surprised.'

He was starting to miss his loyal woman.

"Clara."

"Ah! Yes!"

"Firstly, wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth."

"My, I apologize!"

"Don't mind. Secondly, I want you to send an official letter to Southern Pride. Tell them I wish to visit them. Obvio

usly this will be done in secret."

Clara's eyes twinkled. She didn't exactly know what kind of plan Sol had for her country but she had full confidence in his success.

This was going to be very interesting.
