"Is this something that you can actually enforce?" I asked as I turned around to look into Tallia's rainbow eyes.
"That is questionable. It is not like I am the Queen of humans; I am only a Goddess. They know not to step too far out of line, but as a Goddess, my job is only to keep order," Tallia explained, keeping her distance from me.
"Do you have any suggestions?" I asked, and Tallia crossed her arms.
"Do you not have a mind of your own? I am only here to open the door for you to talk to Morgana," Tallia said haughtily as she walked by me and pressed her hand to the door.
I gritted my teeth, but maybe she was right. Lady Katarina was my problem, but then the Goddess would help with my other one.
"Fine, but then I need you to talk with Listenia and help her collect the materials I will need for cannons. If your job is to protect the humans, then this is your responsibility," I said, crossing my own arms as Tallia turned back to face me.
Eliza was standing over, plastered against the wall. I could tell she wanted no part of what we were arguing about, but she didn't leave.
"Don't think you can order me around just because I kissed you! That is a necessary part of the Positive Energy Weapon transformation!" Tallia snapped at me, and I nodded.
Now that was some exciting information. That meant I would have to get close to Goldy if I wanted to use her, but she was gone now. Getting to her in only three days was more than likely to be a problem. Not like Tallia was going to take me to go flirt with another woman.
That left one other option, but it was questionable.
"If that is the case, then does Claire still have access to her PEW?" I asked, and Tallia scowled.
"Do you mind not calling us that?! It is degrading!" Tallia snapped.
"Positive Energy Weapon is a mouth full and, not going to lie, kind of sounds lame. PEW is fun and easy to say. You just spit the word out," I said with a smile.
"You did not just call me lame!" Tallia growled, clenching her fists at her side.
"You are right; I didn't. I called your ability name lame. It should be something that I have to read eight times and then spell phonetically before being able to say it!" I laugh.
"I am leaving. I will be back to lock the door once you leave. I will get your metal, but it is the women's job to carry it to the wall," Tallia said and a golden portal opened behind her.
"Thank you," I said, and Tallia left, the portal closing behind her, and Eliza let out a long breath.
"You are really something else. That is the Tallia I know, and yet you still treat her like every other woman," Eliza sighed as she slid down to sit on the ground.
"That is just the way it needs to be between us. I am sure she will come around at some point, but I can't treat her differently than everyone else. That is what all of you do, but I am different, and I will make sure she remembers why she loved me," I said as I looked down at my open hand that was facing palm up.
"I guess that makes sense, but just make sure that you don't push her too far. Tallia is still the second strongest Goddess," Eliza warned, still sitting on the ground, and I nodded.
"Yeah, I know. I am just going to talk with Morgana. I will be right back," I explained, and Eliza nodded.
"I will stay here and wait for you. I am exhausted from just being near the two of you while you are arguing. It was hard to breathe, and I felt like I was being pressed into the wall," Eliza sighed.
"Hmm. I think that we are going to have to start training you. I will get you in shape so you can always stand next to me. While you will never be as physically strong as Listenia, you might become a more powerful mage than her with the right practice," I explained, and Eliza brightened up.
"Really? You think I could be better than Listenia?" Eliza asked hopefully.
"Once everything is settled and we are on the boat to Dwarf Island, I will start teaching you. How great you become will rely on how well you can study the material," I explained, and Eliza nodded.
I turned to the door and entered the large guest room that had a bed, but also a couch and two chairs on the opposite side of the room. I always questioned the purpose of having a room like this, but I was used to only using a room for sleeping and sex.
The idea of sitting on a couch when the bed was there didn't make sense, but the furniture did allow for more adventurous positions. Maybe I might have to try some of them with Morgana when we break the control over her.
I walked over to the bed where the porcelain-skinned beautiful woman slept and sat on the bed beside her. Morgana had been alone for so long, and it had pushed her to the point where she wanted to give up.
That stoked my anger, but I squashed it. Now was all that mattered, and I was going to save her and let Morgana live a more normal life.
I took her hand into mine and pulled it up to my face, pressing my lips into the back of her hand. The spell I had placed over Morgana broke, and she opened her eyes to look up at me with a small smile.
"You are here once again, just as you promised," Morgana said softly, looking up at me with crystal blue eyes.
"I try to make a habit of keeping my word," I smile back.
