Demos was sent to rest in a bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

As soon as he lay on the bed, he closed his eyes when he saw Cali's hateful face in the darkness, baring his teeth and claws at him with a fierce hatred.

There were also those attendants who were bound in chains, and their expressions resolutely and resolutely let out a burst of urgent cries to him indicating danger.

He saw Adei in the stone urn again, with a sad smile on her pale and colorless face......

Demos's body shook as if it had fallen into the air, and he screamed as he woke up from his drowsy state.

Kareta stood by the bedside.

Hearing his terrifying exclamation, he hurried into him and gently patted his back with one hand.

"Demos, it's okay, it's okay......"

She reassured him a few words, and also lay on his side, wrapped her arms around him, and whispered:

"I'm here, right next to you, not going anywhere. We're all tired, we all need to get a good night's sleep and rest for a while......"

“...... Karete, I'm sorry...... I couldn't retrieve the Athena Gem for you......"

Demos burrowed into Carette's soft bosom again, buried his head in her chest, and spoke in a deep voice.

Karet's heart was filled with pain. She listened carefully to Demos's words, and she didn't miss a word.

He's for her after all! Everything he's done is for her! Now that he's in such a difficult situation, he's still thinking about her for the first time—

He paid a terrible price, all the concessions and sacrifices he made, just to love her with all his heart-

This love is based on a lot of life and blood. The weight of this love, it's so heavy-

Karete's nose moved, forcibly choking on the scream that rushed up her throat. She opened her mouth and took a few deep breaths, swallowing the cold breath back into her stomach.

"Demos, don't think about anything, close your eyes. Listen, I don't want the Athena Jewel, I don't want anything! I just want you, I just want you to hold me......"

Kareta forced her grief, and as she spoke, her voice and body could not help but sink into the mournful emotion, and she let out a violent tremble.

Demos no longer spoke to her, but hugged her tightly in silence.

Because of the great stimulation, Demos did not fall asleep peacefully. He kept waking up, and he was constantly trapped in a dream, trembling and sweating.

In order to allow him to rest, Kareta instructed Noah to add a small amount of sleeping pills to the warm water he had prepared. After feeding him more water, the effect of the medicine quickly took effect, and he finally fell into a deep sleep......

Kareta got up and left the bedroom and went to the first floor. She saw Noah in the kitchen, a faithful and hard-working boy standing at the counter, preparing dinner for a while, busy with his hands and feet.

"I'll come!" said Kareta as she walked over to him.

"Princess, ...... the princess" Noah was a little surprised to see her.

"Rest assured, he's sleeping soundly. You should go and take a break, I've been tired lately. I'll prepare dinner. ”

“...... This kind of thing...... Or should I do it......"

Hearing that Kareta wanted to cook, Noah's face turned slightly red and his expression was embarrassed.

"It's okay, I've never seen you as a subordinate. Go ahead, get some rest, I'll wake you up when dinner is ready. ”

Carette smiled warmly at Noah.

"That'...... Good ......"

Noah didn't shirk anymore and put down the kitchen utensils in his hand.

"Thank you, Noah, thank you for your faithful followers of Demos!"

Kareta watched Noah leave. As he walked to the kitchen door, she suddenly spoke a heartfelt word to his back.

Carret's gratitude to Noah was heartfelt.

She and Demos have lived together for less than half a year, and Noah has been serving their daily lives with all his might, and he has also handled many affairs of Demos properly.

When confronting the power-grabbing Cali in the Dark Temple, the kid was determined to be the first to rush ahead of Demos.

Even if they are servants, I am afraid that few can be as faithful and heroic as Noah to his master.

For him, the most important feelings in Carette's heart are gratitude and admiration. I am grateful for his loyal followers of Demos and his dedication that he does not remember, and I also admire his ability and courage to do things.

Noah was stunned at this, and then turned back in front of the kitchen door, his gaze meeting that of Karet.

"Don't say that......"

The moment they made eye contact, Noah felt that his tired body and mind seemed to melt into a magical power and became invigorated.

"You and the king are Noah's relatives, and Noah will never allow his relatives to be harmed in any way!"

In the eyes of each other, Noah Anran said the whole sentence, and his tone was particularly firm.

Noah felt the most sincere and precious friendship from Carret's quiet eyes, and this friendship was like a kind of encouragement and affinity. Like an oil lamp that cannot be extinguished, although the light is not strong, it is undoubtedly a ray of hope for people who are lost in the cold winter night, so that desperate people can restore their morale at the moment they see it, so that they will strengthen their faith and continue to fight for their faith no matter how hard they are tired.

"Thank you. ”

Carette nodded, smiling in response to Noah.

After seeing Noah go back to his bedroom on the first floor, Kareta was busy in the kitchen alone.

After washing a few carrots and peeling them with a peeler, she holds a knife in one hand and cuts a carrot into thin slices on a cutting board with the other.

As she moved, she remembered what had happened in the Dark Temple a few hours earlier.

Fragments of memories include Cali's brutal shouts and ridicule, the screams of the trapped acolytes, and the ugly and strange appearance of the zombie army, all of which alternate in her mind from time to time, making her miserable.

She wanted to stop remembering, but she couldn't force herself to stop.

Memories are the act of burning one's hatred for Cali even deeper. At the same time, it is also an act of mourning for the many attendants who died unexpectedly.

Carette mourns Adele first.

Cali had put the girl to death for having served the woman he hated most.

At this point, Kareta thought that if she hadn't returned to the Dark Temple with Demos, and hadn't befriended Ade, the girl would not have suffered such a cruel punishment......

Is it me? I'm the one who brought misfortune to her, to the attendants—

Am I a woman who is haunted by bad luck? All who know me will suffer misfortune in the end?

With the death of her own lady-in-waiting, Karete's mind is completely trapped in a vicious circle of resentment towards herself.

Self-blame and self-resentment are like a bottomless and dangerous swamp, unconsciously stumbling on her body and mind, making her more anxious to get out of the painful struggle, the more uncontrollable she is to burrow into the depths of the swamp, and it becomes difficult to solve the dilemma.

At this time, there was a sudden pain in his fingers.

Distracted, Carette's two hands chopping vegetables became chaotic in rhythm. The hand that operated the knife cut and cut the turnip, and actually cut the finger of the other hand.

Carette was immediately brought back to her wandering thoughts by the pain, and when she looked down again, she saw that the white cutting board on the worktop was stained with blood.

Kareta hurriedly turned on the faucet, rinsed her injured finger with cold water for a while, and then ran to the locker and pulled out the wound patch to bandage the wound.

After some treatment, the bleeding could not be stopped, but the wound was still in hot pain. The pain of the flesh finally released the pain that had been forcibly piling up in Karet's heart. She curled up on the hard, cool tile floor of the kitchen, covered her face with her hands, and wept bitterly.

After she and Demos really lived together, it can be said that they did not live a few days of stable life.

In the human world, pervasive reporters chased and beat everywhere, putting the two of them under pressure. The divine realm, first coerced by Zeus, and now by the betrayal of Cali and the seizure of power, they are subjected to enemies.

Kareta began to wonder if her fate with Demos had reached out to them and was trying to lead them both to the precipice of destruction......

"Karete—"

Suddenly, the voice of a male deity came from the realm of consciousness.

It's Zeus –

Kareta suddenly stopped crying, silently waiting for him to hear the sound waves from his consciousness again.

"Kareta, are you alright?"

A few seconds later, Zeus's thought wave sounded again.

"What instructions do you have?"

Kareta wiped her face in response, her tone sounding neither soft nor hard, but it was not the respectful tone that a courtier should have for the highest leader.

"I'm sorry Karete, but I haven't been able to get in touch with you in time. Recently, I've been busy celebrating the first gathering of the gods since their rebirth. You must know that in the god generation, the annual gathering of the gods is the most important event of the Titans. ”

"I know ......"

Kareta replied in a flat tone. In her mind, she no longer listened to any explanation from Zeus.

No matter how important the meeting of the gods is, even if it is the first celebration of the rebirth of the gods after a thousand years, Zeus still has the ambassador Hermes by his side, and other gods, and there is no need for the gods of all gods to do it themselves-

"Kareta, Kali's usurpation...... I've heard about it. ”

"What? ...... you"

Kareta looked stunned, she was alert, and was about to ask what was going on, when Zeus explained himself in a wave of thoughts:

"Don't be surprised, you should believe in the strength of the Olympus Intelligence Network. Even if Cali kills all of Demos's men, there is no guarantee that her men will be her henchmen. I don't want to hide it from you, there are a few subordinates who have been planted by me in the Dark Temple since the age of mythology, and they have been specially designed to deliver information to Olympus, so that I can grasp the behavior and movements of the dark gods who inhabit another dimension at the first time. ”

Zeus –

When he had finished explaining himself, Kareta didn't know what to say, but secretly called out his name.

Carette suddenly felt that Zeus seemed to be a kind of person in a thriller, accustomed to hiding his dark face in the corner, quietly watching the people walking on the road of light, and the cunning heart was only waiting for an opportunity......

Kareta shuddered.

Zeus, the scheming of the third all-god god of the Titans, is really terrifying-

"Kareta, I want you to come back to the Holy Mountain!"

After waiting for a while, he couldn't hear her thought wave response, and Zeus didn't beat around the bush, and spoke his thoughts directly in the consciousness realm.

"What... What the... You call me... Go back?"
