Volume 1 Chapter 569
by post_apiChapter 569: You Are My Long-Lost…
Accompanied by two cries of "urgent report," a person in a gray robe rushed in, tumbling.
Seeing the gray robe, Lolth understood…
This was someone looking for her.
But after thinking for a moment, Lolth knew…
She absolutely could not let this little girl know that she was the "Director of the Heretic Tribunal"!
No, she was not the director of the Heretic Tribunal!
It should be said that she must not let this little girl have such a misunderstanding!
With a bit of common sense, one could understand…
Knowing that the teacher she had high hopes for was the person who had once harmed her family would be too cruel for Coristo.
This would also be very bad for Lolth in gaining her trust!
Who knows, she might really report her… Oh, but that is not something to worry about; reports are handled by the Heretic Tribunal.
Who dares to accuse me here?
So, she immediately cleared her throat twice and put on the expression that a bishop of The Church of Light should have after seeing a member of the Heretic Tribunal.
In her fear and anxiety, there was a hint of confusion about "What have I done?" or "Has my secret been exposed?"
However, the flustered man in the gray robe clearly did not understand.
He suddenly slid to his knees and skidded in front of Lolth.
"Reporting, we have received a tip-off… Two mysterious masters attacked the Leto Church in Bright Light City, located in the southern part of the Empire. Their strength is currently unknown, but we know the attackers have the ability to subdue a bishop and a group of paladins and priests in an instant… We are also unable to track their whereabouts for now, but according to the clues provided by the attacked bishop, they are very likely… targeting the assassination of the Director of the Heretic Tribunal."
Listening to the gray-robed man report this, Lolth glanced at the confused Coristo, thinking that she had not yet been exposed.
Then, she dragged out her words and said dramatically.
"Wha—at—a—terrible—thing! Oh my gosh— but why are you so flustered telling me this?"
As she said this, she stared intently at the man in the gray robe.
The gray-robed man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"I understand!"
"I will take care of it… my subordinate was indeed a bit too out of line."
"You are right; after all, this is the Holy Capital!"
"Please forgive me, Lord Director!"
The gray-robed man deeply lowered his head.
Lolth covered her face.
What is going on with the professional level of these spies from the Heretic Tribunal?
Why can’t he even use his eyes properly?
Coristo, who was behind her, finally realized something…
"Director… Sir?"
She looked at Lolth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Then, she looked at the Grey Robed Man, and then at the innocent-looking Lolth.
"You are… the director of the Heretic Tribunal?"
"No, actually I am the director of the Holy Capital Police Station."
Lolth sincerely tried to get away with it.
At that moment, the Grey Robed Man finally realized something was wrong.
Standing behind Lolth, there was also a lady from the Holy Lieto Empire, the Fourth Princess!
Because there were no extraordinary signs from the other person, the man in the gray robe instinctively overlooked this point!
He was also taken aback.
His career must be coming to an end…
No, his whole life might be coming to an end.
Feeling that he was close to death, the will to survive made him struggle one last time.
"Oh… Oh no, I think I mistook the person…"
He said with a trembling voice.
Of course, no one believed this.
In fact, this made Coristo even more certain of something…
The "Bishop Nai" in front of me is the disguise used by the Director of the Heretic Tribunal.
Lolth glanced at the man in the gray robe and waved her hand helplessly.
"Just get out of here."
The man in the gray robe hurriedly crawled out of the room as if he had been pardoned.
Then, Lolth looked back at Coristo.
Coristo also turned to look at Lolth.
"So… Master Nai is actually… the director of the Heretic Tribunal?"
"That’s why you know how to ‘desecrate’ the Holy Light…"
Coristo lowered her eyes, finding it increasingly reasonable.
How could an ordinary bishop know this so precisely?
But if it’s the director of the Heretic Tribunal, it makes sense.
Because if the Church of Light recorded any use of the "sacrilegious" Holy Light, it would surely be in the records of the Heretic Tribunal.
The methods left behind by the heretics they captured after severe torture.
It sounded very reasonable.
Coristo sighed again.
There aren’t that many coincidences in the world.
Lolth looked at Coristo, thought for a moment, and sadly nodded.
"It seems that way… but you must believe me, there is more to the story from back then…"
"I definitely do not intend to kill you," Lolth said sincerely.
Coristo gave a faint smile.
"I really want to believe you, Master Nai…"
"But you are the director of the Heretic Tribunal, and too many people have died at the hands of the Director of the Heretic Tribunal…"
"Even a princess or a Privy Bishop would only need to be considered."
"Not to mention, I am the product of such ‘blasphemy’."
"However, I really should be punished, after all, I still foolishly dreamed of inheriting this empire…" Coristo whispered.
Lolth opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
She glanced at Dorothy, who gently tilted her head.
"Teacher, what do you want me to do?"
She asked softly, a slight smile on her face.
"Do you need my help?"
"Do you have any good ideas?" Lolth tentatively asked.
She didn’t really expect much from Dorothy… she just thought that since they were both rejected princesses, maybe Dorothy could understand what she was thinking better.
And Dorothy nodded.
"I have it, but, teacher… are you sure?" Dorothy asked seriously.
"Having it is good; isn’t it better than this little girl being withdrawn?" Lolth glanced at Coristo, who was already in a waiting mode, and whispered.
"Alright then."
Dorothy gently nodded.
Then… Lolth felt… Her student’s hand suddenly touch her lower back.
The cold touch made Lolth shiver all over.
But before Lolth could question her, she felt Dorothy starting to do something more outrageous.
She lifted the hem of her bishop’s robe slightly.
"What… what are you doing?"
Lolth asked with a bright red face.
"Just bear with me a little, Teacher Lolth."
Dorothy whispered playfully in Lolth’s ear.
Then, she reached out her hand, sliding it through the opening on the side of the bishop’s robe…
And slipped her hand inside.
Lolth’s body froze.
She had started to doubt that Dorothy was using an excuse to take advantage!
"Dorothy… this… um!"
Her question was interrupted!
Dorothy was almost pressed against her, her entire right forearm had already slipped inside.
The right hand touched the sensitive, smooth skin of her lower back, wrapping around halfway, as if hugging Lolth, and began to reach towards Lolth’s belly button.
And then…
Dorothy gently started to explore around Lolth’s belly button.
"What are you doing?"
Lolth felt a strong sense of shyness.
There were three people in the room: a succubus princess and a half-blood succubus…
But Lolth always felt that the one who resembled a succubus the most was this disciple.
Is this what it means to be better than the original?
No, no, no! I haven’t taught Dorothy anything about this!
Lolth already felt like her brain was about to melt.
"Of course, it is to prove to Lady Coristo… that the teacher is also a ‘succubus’," she said.
Dorothy whispered softly.
Lolth no longer had time to think about how proving she was a succubus would help ease the little girl’s negative emotions.
She was just thinking…
"Is it really necessary to do it this way? You could just tell me, and I can show her myself!"
Lolth said with a trembling voice.
She felt Dorothy’s fingertips constantly touching her waist, moving up and down around her belly and sides, making her feel like the patterns on her body were about to show.
"Ah, that’s true, but we’ve come this far already…"
As Dorothy said this, she suddenly seemed to find something.
"Hey!"
She suddenly untangled something wrapped around Lolth’s waist in one breath.
Dorothy untied the tail that was wrapped around Lolth’s waist.
Then, it was pulled out from the slit of the robe.
"Junior Martial Sister Coristo, please look!"
She displayed Lolth’s tail.
Coristo looked up, confused, at shy Lolth who was covering her face, and at Dorothy, who was gently holding the tail with a satisfied expression…
Then, she felt her worldview shatter once again.
She recognized it; it was a tail belonging to the Succubus clan.
Coristo quickly calculated the time since the Director of the Heretic Tribunal took office in her mind.
Then, she showed a look of surprise.
"So… are you my aunt or great-aunt?"
She stood up and walked in front of Lolth, her hands trembling constantly.
As she looked at the scene before her, which was not much different from what she had imagined, Dorothy let out a long sigh of relief.
Although she originally planned for Coristo to confirm that Teacher Lolth was a relative from her grandmother’s generation…
She didn’t expect that the other person seemed unable to tell the difference between a pureblood succubus and a mixed-blood one… Well, that made sense, since the genetic traits of succubi seemed to be very strong.
She, being a quarter succubus, looked almost like a pureblood.
In any case, the outcome was similar; Coristo’s heart wall was almost completely broken by that tail!
Indeed, the strategy of thinking "like Martial Sister Kanor" was useful!
Lolth was about to explain that she was not actually her aunt.
But she felt the tail being gently tugged by Dorothy.
She turned her head and saw Dorothy nodding at her.
Lolth understood, "This is the solution that Dorothy talked about," while…
She couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
How this second disciple was becoming more and more like her Martial Sister Kanor…
But anyway, Lolth sighed and decided to go along with Dorothy’s idea.
At least it seemed like this misunderstanding wasn’t so bad.
She immediately showed a look of "I have my struggles" and the expression one would have when meeting a long-lost relative.
Lolth’s lips trembled slightly, and her eyes became moist.
"Coristo… in the blink of an eye, you have grown so much…"
"Over the years, you and your sister have suffered."
As she said this, she stood up, gently hugged Coristo, and stroked her head.
A slight pain suddenly came from her tail behind her.
It felt like Dorothy had pinched her gently.
Does that mean she was not emotional enough?
Lolth thought about it and hugged her a little tighter.
Then it hurt even more.
Oh… maybe she had been too forceful.
That made sense; after so many years apart, there might be a bit of guilt, so she should hold back.
With this thought, Lolth let go of Coristo, and the tiny pain in her sensitive tail vanished instantly.
Coristo looked at Lolth, her eyes already filled with tears.
This optimistic and strong girl, who was a little quirky, started talking again.
"Oh my gosh, it’s really my aunt! My aunt is the director of the Heretic Tribunal…"
"It seems there are hidden truths about what happened back then…"
"Does my mom know about you?"
"After all these years, I’m sorry for the trouble, Aunt!"
"I… I… I’m sorry, Aunt, I get so excited and talk too much…"
"Actually, even when I’m not excited, I still talk a lot."
"When do I ever talk too much… sigh, is this something I got from my succubus grandma? Because she doesn’t seem to say much!"
"If I had known you were my aunt… I would have prepared some nice tea…"
Coristo held tightly onto Lolth’s hand and said this.
A succubus wants to become the director of the Heretic Tribunal…
Just thinking about this difficult challenge made Coristo feel it was really hard!
You have to know, it was already so difficult to become the crown prince…
The Heretic Tribunal was the place where succubi were executed.
This little aunt of mine had gone through such a twisted story and so many hardships; she did not dare to think about it!
In the past, she had even resented her!
"Aunt, you took a big risk by coming to be my teacher… Don’t worry, I will study hard!"
"I will definitely take the throne of the Holy Lieto Empire, to restore my grandmother’s honor and give my mother a proper title…"
"I will also make sure to govern this country well, to reduce discrimination, inequality, and oppression!"
As she said this, Lolth nodded her head.
She finally understood why the other person valued the throne so much.
"Alright, my dear, Aunt will teach you… not only how to gain the ‘recognition’ of the Holy Light but also what you need to learn to become an Empress."
"But, Coristo, when we’re outside, you must call me Master Nai!"
"I understand," Coristo wiped her tears, bit her lip, and nodded. Then she seemed to remember something, "By the way, Aunt, there was a report that two mysterious people plan to assassinate you…"
"Oh, that’s nothing to worry about," Lolth waved her hand, "this is the Holy Capital after all; no one dares to cause trouble here."
"That’s right, the teacher is very strong too," Dorothy said softly.
