Chapter 166: Catching Up With Old Friends

Rhea and Nero stared into each other's eyes with a fierce glare; neither of them wanted to break eye contact.

"How long are they going to continue?" Emilia muttered, showing a slight hint of annoyance in her voice.

SIGH!

Nero sighed and asked, "Where is he?"

"Who?" Rhea wondered with a puzzled look on her face.

"Your husband, you old hag!"

"You should know where he is," Rhea answered with a shrug.

"I actually don't."

"And I thought you two were best friends," Rhea shook her head in disbelief.

"I know where he should be, but I don't know where he is, you bitch!"

Rhea sighed and answered, "The dungeon is far to the north."

"Now look at that; If you had answered properly in the first place, you would have saved me 10 seconds of my life."

Nero turned to Arnold and Rosemary, only to find them talking with Emilia and others.

"Rosie and Arnold also tied a knot, you know?" Rhea informed.

"Like after spending ten thousand years together, they realized they should get married," she added.

"I didn't ask for the details!" Nero hissed.

He looked at the smiling faces of Arnold and Rosemary and uttered inwardly: 'And here I thought mine and Asteria's relationship was immoral.'

"How have you been doing, brother Zeus?" Rhea asked.

Nero raised his brows and turned to Rhea with a confused look on his face: "..."

He wanted to comment something but changed his mind after seeing the anxious look on Rhea's face.

SIGH!

Nero sighed and motioned Rhea to come closer to him.

Rhea's face flushed as she reluctantly came closer to Nero.

Nero smiled gently at Rhea and uttered, "I was unsealed not long ago, but I have been doing great ever since then."

"So you truly were sealed, huh?"

"You didn't know?!" Nero exclaimed.

"I heard you were sealed, but I couldn't believe it." Rhea glanced at Rosemary and continued, "Because, for us, you were the strongest and undefeatable. So when we heard the news, we thought it was just one of your pranks."

"But… time passed by, and we realized you were never coming back." Rhea started crying and tried to hide her face.

"I am truly glad to see you again, brother Zeus."

Nero averted his gaze and sighed: "Don't go all senty on me suddenly."

"What are you talking about?"

Nero glanced at Rhea to see she was back to normal, almost as if she never cried.

"Argh!" Nero groaned and walked past Arnold and Rosemary.

He kissed Emilia on the lips and patted Sophia and Asteria.

"Go to the room and rest. I will be back before noon, hopefully."

Then, he left the inn in a hurry.

Emilia placed her finger on her lips and muttered, "That kiss felt different for some reason."

"Isn't it because he kissed in public?" Sophia remarked.

Sophia glanced at Rhea and found her waving at her. She nodded and walked to Rhea with a smile on her face.

Emilia frowned her face and stealthily followed Sophia, although she was caught the next second.

Asteria, Rosemary, and Arnold joined Sophia and Rhea at the table and ordered some food.

"How have you been, Sophia?" Rhea asked, although she was speaking a different language.

"Never been better," Sophia replied in a different language.

"Zeus kissed this black-haired girl just now; what is their relationship?" Rhea asked curiously, although in a different language.

"It's complicated. But you can say she is like his sex slave."

"I never thought brother Zeus was that kind of man," Rhea uttered with a disappointed look on her face.

"He also got his own harem, now," Sophia commented.

"Wow. So these girls are his harem members, huh?" Rhea wondered.

"Yes, and I am too."

"You too?! Why? I am sure you once said you hate harems, and now you are part of one?" Rhea exclaimed with a disappointed and baffled look on her face.

"I am the queen of his harem, and these two girls— especially, this black-haired girl is the lowest. She follows me all the time to earn brownie points from me. She always does as I say, and she can't dare to speak against me," Sophia asserted with a smug look on her face.

She was taking advantage of the situation by speaking a different language.

Emilia's face frowned even more as she couldn't understand what they were saying. She nudged Asteria and whispered in her ears: "What are they saying?"

However, Asteria was on the same boat as Emilia.

She shook her head and answered, "I can't understand anything either."

Rhea glanced at Asteria and squinted her eyes.

"Why do I feel like I have seen her somewhere before?" she said.

"Doesn't she look similar to Princess Astrea?" Rosemary wondered, although in a different language.

"You are right!" Rhea exclaimed and turned to Sophia: "Was she also sealed?"

"No. She is Princess Astrea's reincarnation," Sophia replied.

Emilia nudged Asteria and whispered, "They are mentioning your name, so they must be bad-mouthing about you."

"No, we are not." Sophia glared at Emilia and continued, "We were just talking about how she resembles princess Astrea."

"Then talk in the normal language so we can understand too!" Emilia shouted.

"Isn't she too loud for a slave and your—" 

Rhea tried to speak something in a normal language, but Sophia stopped her by stuffing the bread in her mouth.

Emilia furrowed her brows and asked, "You didn't tell her something bad about me, did you?"

"I would never." Sophia shook her head and answered, "In fact, I was praising you."

"..." Rhea, Rosemary, and Arnold stared at Sophia in disbelief as they were the only ones who knew the truth.

'I somehow feel bad about Sophia after seeing her like this,' Rosemary and Rhea had the same thought.

After reaching the deepest part of the dungeon, Nero thought, 'This is boring. There are no monsters here.'

He walked for a few minutes and found a man wearing strange clothes and a fox mask on his face— sitting on the ground, meditating with his eyes closed.

"Finally, found you— Pavel."

Without opening his eyes or turning back, the man uttered, "Pavel is dead; I go by the name Chronos now."
