Chapter 275 - 253: The Sun Is Already Up
After killing Hamman, Lynn took his space equipment, stealthily took the No. 1 Demon Mirror inside, then threw his body into the space rift he had torn open with his hands, and only after watching his body grind into dust by the chaotic space flow did he leave with peace of mind.
By this time, it had been a long time since he slipped out, and the distant sky was beginning to show a hint of dawn.
Even if someone became suspicious, no one could do anything to him, but Lynn didn’t want to attract unnecessary trouble.
Taking advantage of the last cover of night, Lynn silently returned to the Holy Mountain of Light.
When he returned to the temporary palace, the sky had just brightened, and it was that morning moment when a day’s plan begins.
However, as he gently pushed open the door and creeped into the bedroom, there were two even breaths in the room that was supposed to have only Natasha in it.
Lynn immediately ruled out the possibility of Natasha cheating on him because she was a die-hard admirer, hopelessly obsessed with him. Besides, she was a young dragon who could maintain her chastity even in adulthood, so how could she be unfaithful while traveling with him?
But with Natasha’s current high Saint Tier strength, who could break into his room without her consent and not be driven out?
Akelie might barely have this capability, but as the Pope of the Light Church Court, how could he offend the Light Divine Envoy?
Could it be that fool Sifrin...?
Lynn silently walked to the bedside, glanced at the dozing Natasha and Sifrin who was sprawled out on the bed, and couldn’t even manage to utter a word for quite a while.
He was really prescient today; everything he expected happened, except stumbling upon the No. 1 Demon Mirror was a good thing, but predicting Sifrin’s intrusion was troublesome.
"Hmm? Lynn... you’re back?"
The drowsy Natasha was very vigilant. As Lynn approached, getting somewhat agitated by the breathing of Sifrin on the bed, she was instantly awakened. Had it been anyone else with less strength than Natasha, they would likely have been detected upon entering the room.
So how did Sifrin get in? Though her skills stood out among her peers, she was no match for Natasha.
"What’s up with this idiot? How could you let her in?"
Seeing Sifrin sleeping on the bed in a terrible position, with the quilt pushed aside and her belly half exposed, Lynn was not concerned about whether she might catch a cold or diarrhea; he just wanted to know how she got in and even managed to make it to his bed so boldly.
"I didn’t want to let her in. I shouted to stop her from afar, yet she forced her way in. I even tried to stop her at the door, but this guy crawled through beneath me like a dog, and that caught me off guard, so I... "
Natasha couldn’t help but feel a bit wronged at this point. Who would have expected that the dignified Saintess of Light could crawl through holes like a dog? She was unprepared and too late to stop it, and Sifrin slipped through the cracks.
Fortunately, when Sifrin entered, only Natasha’s close maidens saw, and she swiftly sent them away. Later, when people from the Light Church Court came asking, she dismissed them with the excuse that the Divine Envoy was resting and should not be disturbed, successfully avoiding any further incident.
As for Sifrin herself, she was strong but not Natasha’s opponent; within a few moves, Natasha subdued her.
Initially, to prevent accidents, Natasha considered tying up Sifrin and gagging her, but she feared this would excite her, so she instead gave a verbal warning not to shout, stay quiet, or Lynn would train her into a true slave girl.
Sifrin perhaps got scared and behaved very obediently, even cooperating with the people outside by saying she was keeping the Divine Envoy company and would return the next morning, not revealing that Lynn wasn’t in the bedroom at all.
"So what do we do now? She discovered the secret; do we need to silence her?"
After admitting her mistake to Lynn, Natasha hesitated slightly as she asked, looking at Sifrin, who lay in a mess.
To be honest, she didn’t know how important Lynn’s hidden activities were or if it was worth silencing Sifrin over it.
Though she and Sifrin weren’t close, only recently acquainted, she could tell that this girl, though a bit of a prankster, wasn’t bad. If Lynn didn’t find it crucial to conceal the activities, perhaps they could employ conservative methods to prevent leaks, like turning her into a mentally foggy girl who merely drooled and rolled her eyes, without having to kill her to silence her.
"It’s not that serious. Sneaking out for a stroll isn’t as grave as having the Saintess of Light dead in my room. I won’t make a big mistake to cover a minor slip."
Hearing Natasha’s question, Lynn waved his hands repeatedly. For one, he’s not a ruthless villain; even if he were, he wouldn’t kill an acquaintance over a matter as trivial as sneaking out.
Even if he disliked Sifrin immensely, she’s not just a passerby; they have exchanged words, and while not quite friends, they are more than mere nodding acquaintances.
"If we don’t silence her, what if she spills the beans?"
Natasha didn’t want to silence Sifrin either, but if they didn’t handle it properly, there would be trouble, because Sifrin had a loose tongue, and no one could ensure she wouldn’t say something wrong once she left the room.
