Chapter 641: Very well

Camelia’s sincere plea made Sol hesitate. No matter what he thought, the truth was that... Camelia was right. This was not the best time to heal her. Even if he could do this with the power of Secrecy, he knew that this would be yet another thorn in his path, with a high chance of completely setting the goddesses on destroying him.

As he was now, Sol could not win. He was more than assured about his chances against a false demigod. Even a true demigod would have a hard time winning against him.

But gods and false gods were on a completely different level. It was too soon to discord all cordiality and face the goddesses.

Should I take a step back?

He mused for a short while before making his decision.

His voice softened as he stood up from his seat, “Let’s make a compromise, okay?” Approaching Camelia, he kneeled before her, taking her hands in his gently.

His gesture warmed her heart and she smiled. “I am listening.”

“Since you don’t want me to heal you now and since you are indeed correct about the dangers of this action, I will not insist.” Sol was not an unreasonable person. “But I refuse to leave you here.”

“Sol...” Camelia began but Sol stopped her mid-sentence.

“No, you, listen to me this time.” His voice was utterly serious, leaving Camelia no room to interject. “You are no longer a Supreme Daughter. You are not a Blessed and you are not a King-ranked being. Not even a Duke. As you are now, even the weakest assassin could kill you before I reach you.”

Not only had Camelia lost all her strength, but even her power to influence others had become nigh non-existent. She truly had no way to protect herself.

“The Witches are working on our defenses and the Crown’s Shadow are extremely skilled, yes. But... the bitter truth is that you are now a liability, Camelia.”

Sol knew his words were harsh. However, he also knew that Camelia had to understand her current status.

Sol had many contingencies in place and his power was growing constantly. Against Hypnos, Sol had been able to cover the world with his dimension without much problem. But it had been only temporary. Far from what Tiamat could do.

Still, Sol was confident. He was growing stronger by the second. His soul was growing stronger by the day and so was his control. Thanks to opening the seven chakras, his body was also continuously strengthening, making him more of a cockroach than he already was.

It was quite interesting how the three highest-ranked members of the church were, in fact, not believers.

“The White Knight?” Camelia nodded after hearing his name. “Speaking of him... You have prepared the reward ceremony, right?”

“Of course?” Sol sighed and took a seat next to Camelia.

The aftermath of the war was truly the most troublesome. Sol had made many promises before the start of the war and now it was time for him to fulfill them.

He simply needed to work on the right order of things.

“I will officially reward all those who need to be rewarded after my Coronation. But I made sure everyone received the physical rewards such as money and territory.” Sol wished to stop there and be done with it, but ceremonies existed for a reason.

It was important for him to show off his generosity.

“This will also be the best time to announce our alliance with the Witches.” Sol had already planned everything down to the last detail.

“This is why... I believe it’s time to prepare ourselves and reach out to the Elves.” He grinned. This visit promised to be quite intriguing.

But before going to the legendary land of elves, he had three tasks to take care of.

One was catching Lilith and stopping her from hiding. The second was to have a heart-to-heart discussion with Pandora and even Freya, for that matter. As for the last task...

“I guess I need to take care of some midgets,” Sol murmured as his gaze seemed trained on something far, far away.

A derisive smirk arose on his face at what he was seeing.

He had been feeling stifled and stressed as of late. However, it seemed that some entertainment was coming his way, very soon.
