NOVPUBHyperion kept observing Antanas’s reactions and the Great Love Poet’s face. She dared not allow her emotions to show, fearing it would ruin the favorable situation that Lanci had created.
But her heart was already filled with waves.
The Great Love Poet looked at Hyperion, meeting her gaze.
It seemed to be reassuring her that what she was thinking was correct.
Lanci had recently figured out everything himself; the three of them in the Boss Cat Restaurant were aware of some things yet ignorant of others.
Hyperion was the second one to understand everything.
"..."
The corners of Hyperion’s eyes gradually twinkled.
She didn’t know whether it was surprise, joy, or emotion that was more present, but in this situation, she should remain calm instead of expressing anything.
Again, it was Lanci who, unbeknownst to her, had brought her so many wonderful things.
Being cared for by a mother she had fantasized about since childhood, but never dared to hope for, was something she had only encountered in dreams.
She never thought that something she thought she would never have was truly in her hands, right inside the wooden house of Boss Cat Restaurant owned by Ichrite.
"Tata, Talia is actually you..."
At this moment, Hyperion started to understand her happiness, wanting to say a lot to Lanci, wanting to return to South Continent to hug Tata and tell her all the thanks in her heart.
Not magic, but the reality she was in was The Fallen Wonderland.
"..."
The Great Love Poet lightly patted Hyperion’s head. After reading Hyperion’s dream, he thought Hyperion was too easily moved to tears.
This was completely different from times when she would mutter about "merits" and tears would well up in her eyes.
"Seeing the two of you getting along so well, I thought of Talia and Isatia."
Antanas, looking at the Great Love Poet and Hyperion getting along well, couldn’t help but sigh.
"... Miss Antanas, this Hyperion is indeed Isatia’s daughter. But I am not a relative of Talia’s. I must assure our employment contract is valid and reliable."
Lanci shifted his attention back to Antanas, emphasizing again.
"Stop lying to me, you’re Talia’s daughter. You’re too much like her ... but different, maybe because of your father."
"..."
"Why won’t you acknowledge your mother?"
"Everything I’ve told you is true. You shouldn’t think that I tricked you when you finally find out the truth."
"...Is that so."
There was only sadness in Guardian Antanas’s eyes.
She was very familiar with Talia’s nature, and probably understood why there was such tension between Talia and her daughter.
"I just want to confirm a few things now, as the answers needed to be made clear before the trade starts."
Antanas said seriously, looking at Hyperion.
If Talia’s daughter denied it outright, she could only ask Isatia’s daughter.
"Please go ahead."
Hyperion maintained her good manners towards this elder.
"Do you both carry the blood of the Demon Royal Family in your veins? Was she born of Talia?"
Antanas looked at the Great Love Poet, then asked Hyperion.
"...Yes."
Hyperion hesitated before answering.
She remembered that the Great Love Poet was indeed created by Miss Tata and Lanci working together.
"Knowing this is enough for me."
Antanas answered confidently.
"..."
Lanci found that it was impossible to make sense with Antanas at the moment, his only choice was to take her back to the principal’s room, and then perform a summoning of Great Lover Poet himself.
"We are now facing an enemy in the Protoss Empire that we have to defeat, Miss Antanas, can you help us?"
The Great Love Poet, once again using his [Great Love Poet Transformation: Human], turned into a figure with black hair and green eyes, donned a mask that locked his jaw, and in a manner reminiscent of someone about to call it a day and pack up.
"Of course, anyone who dares to harm you, I will not let them go."
Antanas’ eyes became icy, and the most ferocious murderous intent of the Great Demon Clan began to emerge.
...
At this time, everyone didn’t notice.
In the high-dimensional space, someone wanted to run away.
Seeing the true form of the Great Love Poet, Loren was already sweating profusely.
He had seen this summon several times in Ichrite. Every time Lanci summoned it, nothing good ever came out.
It was clear to Loren now, he couldn’t even deceive himself.
Obviously, this summon is being controlled by Lanci, and Lanci is helping Hyperion carry out priest duties!
Loren always wanted to believe that Hyperion is a good and honest child.
Now that their team’s actions resemble those of the Rebirth Church, the root of the problem must lie with Lanci without a doubt!
Wasn’t this guy supposed to go to the Northern Continent for the "Visiting Tablet Holder" project?
What tablets are you visiting? You ended up mingling with the Rebirth Church?!
At this moment, Loren felt the gaze of the Bingxue Witch on him without even having to look up.
Because it seemed that the Bingxue Witch also noticed the connection between the summon and Lanci.
On the other side of the high-dimensional space.
The Bingxue Witch was so angry that she found it ridiculous.
The summon with gray hair and a red skirt, wasn’t this the "Epic Summon of Companion Lanci" that Hyperion brought out that day to show her?
So the one who’s a bad influence on Hyperion is your student, Loren.
Why were you staring at me just now? Do you think this is funny?
At the moment, they cannot conclude that Lanci has betrayed and joined the Rebirth Church with Hyperion.
This cannot be said to be a serious event with significant responsibility yet.
There’s no need to come down on Loren.
The Bingxue Witch calmed her thoughts slightly.
What truly surprised her was the true face of the Great Love Poet that she hadn’t seen in the temple.
Who could have thought a summon would look so much like Talia.
The Bingxue Witch indeed remembered that this summon with gray hair and a red skirt had some special characteristics. At first, she thought this demon summon was made with the blood of Hyperion as a medium, so it carried the breath of the Demon Royal Family, but it turned out to be Talia herself as the blueprint.
It’s possible that the person who made it is Talia too.
Then the real Talia is actually connected with this boy called Lanci.
Now, the Bingxue Witch felt like she finally sees the light as she listened to the conversation between the Great Lover Poet and Antanas and basically understood the origin of everything.
But now the misunderstanding on Antanas’ side is huge—
It’s fine if it’s just Antanas, but if the misunderstanding of the other two Great Demons on the lower levels is that the Great Love Poet is Talia’s daughter, and if the news of Princess Talia of the Demon Clan getting married spreads in the Protoss Empire.
What happens if Talia herself finds out one day?
Talia will really take a knife and wipe out the source of this mess!
