Chapter 647: What a Strange Combination Is This

What could Lolth do in front of her enthusiastic mother-in-law?

There was only one solution she could think of.

That is…

"Thank you, Ms. Anno, the pie is delicious; I will come back when I have time!"

She smiled.

The space magic was activated, and even Seychelles’ Guardian Sword Master, A Qiu, couldn’t react in time to stop her.

Of course… she didn’t really have any intention of stopping her anyway.

Looking at the disappearing Lolth and the empty plate on the table—this succubus took all the pies with her before leaving—Anno, who was Lolth’s future mother-in-law and Isabella’s mother, could only sigh.

"What a timid and shy hothead… Just like the Heidegger of his time…"

Upon hearing these words, A Qiu tilted her head in surprise.

"Oh really? I can’t imagine that Ryman, the Duke of the North, used to be timid, shy, and hot-tempered…"

Anno glanced at A Qiu and shrugged.

"You can’t see it in battle, but life really is like that."

"I have a feeling that what you are about to say will be very harsh towards me, a single woman of a certain age, so please stop," A Qiu raised her hand and made a gesture, then continued, "In any case, you seem satisfied with the succubus you found for your daughter… right?"

"What’s not to be satisfied with? She’s a well-mannered young lady with a good family background. A princess from the Succubus clan is quite impressive, and more importantly, she’s pretty strong, isn’t she?"

Anno said casually.

"Now that you mention it… I do feel something is off."

A Qiu muttered.

Anno looked at her and smiled.

"You are the guardian of Seychelles, the standard for all swordsmen, or someone that others want to replace… Surely you have no bias against someone’s background, origin, or race, right?"

"It’s not bias, don’t you realize… this girl is very dangerous—do you really think someone like me would be a good match for your daughter?"

A Qiu asked this.

Anno shook her head.

"Of course not. If Isabella brings you home, I will break her legs and then have Heidegger break yours."

She said this calmly, and A Qiu didn’t get angry.

"Yeah, but even though I am a demi-god, that succubus… um, Holy Domain? I’m not sure, I can’t see it clearly—she is a hundred times more dangerous than me."

A Qiu said this and pointed at her own eyes.

"I can see very clearly, that ‘fate’ tangled around that succubus girl… it’s too heavy."

"That is what Isabella chose for herself. I am not the kind of mother who wishes for my daughter to have a safe life… I hope that even on the day she dies, she will not regret her choices—just that is enough."

Saying this, Anno looked at A Qiu.

"You are not able because you, silly, are nearly dead yourself."

"Haha… that’s true…"

A Qiu shyly smiled.

Then, after a long silence, she spoke again.

"But, to be honest, Anno… the thing you are ‘guarding’ should be waiting for her."

"I understand, I felt it the first time I saw you," Anno laughed, "Isn’t this… better?"

As she said this, she looked in the direction where Lolth had left.

"I just hope Isabella won’t blame me."

There was a hint of loneliness in her voice.

Meanwhile…

After quickly leaving the Republic of Seychelles, Lolth bit into a pie and, using her secret plan, finally found Janine Irene’s location.

With the Resonance Crystal and the faint magic essence she gathered from her, it took almost an hour.

This was Lolth’s invention, a "box weapon"—it could find anyone with just a little bit of magical signature.

However, the coordinates that came from opening the box made Lolth feel a bit tense.

"How did she end up in the Demon King Castle?!"

But being in or out of the Demon King Castle was the same for Lolth…

Anyway, she was already off course, so it didn’t matter how far.

She stuffed the pie, which was almost cold, aside and put off thinking about Isabella and her mother-in-law for now.

Then she rubbed her face and sighed softly.

Lolth activated a long-distance teleportation magic.

"The only thing to be thankful for is… I am very familiar with the spatial coordinates of the Demon King Castle."

Sighing like this, space folded and then unfolded, and she appeared in the storage room of the Little Devil Guild near the Demon King Castle.

"Hey—honored Lord Lolth!"

A cheerful voice sounded, and then Lolth saw a rather strange pair.

Doyle, who waved to herself while smiling, and Janine Irene, who was drinking tea.

"Doyle… why are you with this girl?"

After hearing Lolth’s question, Doyle Candice flapped her wings and flew closer to Lolth.

"Well, the leader of the Knight of the Oracle suddenly showed up near the Demon King Castle with the Lady of Light… luckily, they ran into me, otherwise they would have faced a brainless legionnaire leader, and there would have been a fight."

"I figured you must have planned something, so you brought her here to hide… I just didn’t expect this little girl was simply lost."

Janine Irene showed a look of shame.

Although her overall impression of the Abyssal Demon improved a lot from spending time with Lolth, she no longer felt as resistant as before…

However, being helped by a demon race while lost, as a Paladin of The Church of Light…

Her sense of shame would still have some reaction to this!

Lolth found it both funny and frustrating to hear this.

"It’s true…"

She thought a lot along the way, wondering if there was a mistake in her plan that caused Janine Irene to stray from the original path…

Or perhaps there was a delay somewhere.

When she saw Janine Irene’s location at the Demon King Castle, Lolth’s heart sank, fearing that a kind passerby might have led her away.

It wasn’t the first or second time her "plans" had gone awry—before, it was fine, since it was a plan made to allow her to slack off.

But this matter with Janine Irene was indeed very serious.

But she really didn’t expect this…

Janine Irene was lost!

But they couldn’t blame Janine Irene…

Even if the paths were wrong, it was because she hadn’t explained to Janine Irene how to get out of the town…

She was in an unfamiliar place… and with her "modern map" made without the proper methods of this time, it was normal that Janine Irene couldn’t understand it very well.

"As long as nothing went wrong, that’s good… but this means the plan really needs some changes."
