Chapter 294

She turned to a girl with short, dark blue hair next to her and said, "Seele, I've discovered that my child might like girls..."

"???"

The Herrscher of Death from the Previous Era was completely bewildered.

"My child is very popular. I thought she would meet a reliable guy like Siegfried and have a romance like Roman Holiday with him..."

Cecilia couldn't help but sigh.

With the peripherals Tesla provided, she could not only have long phone conversations with Siegfried every day via the communicator, but also surf the internet and watch movies...

"Seele, do you know what? My husband said to me at our wedding, 'From now on, I will protect you.' Even though my husband is weak, I was still very happy to hear the most important person in my life say that. I also hope that Kiana, Freya, and Aurora can meet someone like that."

"..."

The girl called Seele looked utterly dejected.

She had heard this story countless times, but the person involved seemed to relish it, completely disregarding her feelings as a listener.

"Yes, it would be great if we could meet."

Seele answered expressionlessly.

"Well... it's not that we necessarily have to ask them to do that. It's not that girls can't do it either. It seems to be quite normal among Valkyrie... My relationship with Theresa is also quite complicated. If Freya likes girls, as her mother, I should support her."

Cecilia suddenly felt conflicted.

Although love between girls is beautiful, she also hopes that her daughters can wear pure white wedding dresses and walk down the aisle with a reliable partner.

"Sigh, Freya probably likes girls. Rita is a good girl, and very pretty... I just wonder how Kiana and Aurora are doing. No, Aurora too young..."

Of her three daughters, the youngest was the most innocent and naive, and Cecilia longed to spend time with her.

Fortunately, the youngest daughter has the best family environment, with a loving but not spoiled adoptive mother and a gentle but strong adoptive father by her side, which makes Cecilia feel both complicated and gratified.

Seele remained expressionless, as if the expression on her face had been paralyzed.

She found it hard to criticize the mother in front of her for considering emotional issues for her two cloned daughters who were only about six years old in real life.

Through an external device, Cecilia could hear Freya and Rita playing around in the bathroom.

Perhaps because Rita had always been by her side since she was a child, Freya was completely unguarded around her, which made Cecilia a little worried that her daughter might be a blockhead.

"Cecilia... even if your daughter might like girls, the girls she likes might not like her back..."

"...I think she might like my daughter, and maybe she's a bit of a lolicon." Cecilia pondered for a few seconds before stating her conclusion.

337. Is it that she can no longer lift the knife, or that the title of "Black-hearted Saintess" no longer works?

With Rita's help, Freya washed up and changed into clean new clothes.

Little did she know that her mother, Cecilia, was struggling with a dilemma inside the Black Abyss White Flower.

"Mom? I'm all washed up, how was it?"

Rita had neatly combed her unruly hair and braided it into a very pretty thick braid at the back.

It should be said that Saintess should have a long braid, and should also be able to blow a black whistle and express French disdain.

Although Freya is fond of black, the clothes Rita prepares for her are always so flashy.

Freya twirled around in front of the Black Abyss White Flower, just like a happy little elf.

However, Cecilia, amidst the Black Abyss White Flower, fell silent.

[Acting skills, very good...]

After thinking for a while, she could only praise her second daughter's acting skills.

Whether it's her radiant smile or her innocent, dancing sprite-like demeanor, it's all part of Freya's meticulously planned performance.

From the degree to which the eyelids are squinted, to the angle at which the head is tilted, to the path of the teeth revealed in the smile, everything has been calculated.

Freya also visited top micro-expression experts to learn how to grasp micro-expressions.

Rita opened her mouth as if to remind someone of something, but seeing Freya's happy expression, she ultimately gave up on explaining.

[...]

Cecilia was increasingly heartbroken.

Such a happy smile couldn't come from the heart; she truly felt heartbroken for her second daughter.

The reason her second daughter forced a smile in front of her was to ease her worries.

Cecilia decides to accept her second daughter's offer.

However, Cecilia believed she had a good eye for people and was certain that the maidservant beside her second daughter was lusting after her.

[And it looks great, no wonder it's its mother's child...]

Cecilia answered proudly.

Freya scratched her face in embarrassment.

Eat your breakfast quickly, don't waste Rita's good intentions...

"Okay, Mom."

Freya put away her acting skills and responded sincerely.

She walked to the dining table in front of the glass wall and looked at the sumptuous breakfast that Rita had carefully prepared, with neatly arranged sandwiches filled with incredibly tempting side dishes.

"As expected of Rita, she looks delicious."

"Lord Freya is too kind. I am ultimately no match for Immortal Fu Hua. However, the fried egg in the sandwich was made by Immortal Fu Hua herself."

Rita knew Freya liked the dishes made by Immortal Fu Hua, so she asked Immortal Fu Hua to make some fried eggs early in the morning. As for the other side dishes in the sandwiches, they were grown by herself.

Besides her daily work as an adjutant and her sleeping with him, Rita created a greenhouse garden for herself.

Of course, every time Rita cooks for Freya, everything from the ingredients to the cooking process undergoes rigorous scrutiny. After all, in the so-called underworld, Freya's bounty is almost equivalent to the investment of hundreds of top Hollywood movies, which has led to Freya facing countless assassination attempts over the past three years.

On several occasions, assassins poisoned Freya's food. From then on, Rita and Immortal Fu Hua were basically in charge of Freya's meals.

However, Immortal Fu Hua's current role is that of a diplomat who liaises with the Shenzhou government and a teacher of practical training courses for the Valkyrie, similar to the instructors of the Imperial Guards in ancient Shenzhou. Almost all the Valkyrie have received practical training courses from Immortal Fu Hua.

Now that most of her memories have returned, Immortal Fu Hua did not continue with the "Kindling Project." After informing Freya of the details of the Kindling Project, she focused on raising her daughter.

That's right. Although Fu Lixue is a clone of Cheng Lixue, the original A-rank Valkyrie of the Snow Wolf Squad, it doesn't stop Immortal Fu Hua from raising her as his own daughter.

In his memories, he was unable to stay with Cheng Lixue for many reasons. In order to make up for the mistakes he made in the past, Immortal Fu Hua dared not leave Fu Lixue for a moment. He also got a room in the high-end apartment built by Ryoma and lived with Fu Lixue.

Normally she would dress up like a fairy, but in her room, she would dress like an ordinary mother, wearing comfortable home clothes and an apron to cook for her daughter.

Because Immortal Fu Hua had become a mother, she had long lost the will to prepare meals for Freya, which, of course, made Rita very happy.

After all, Rita didn't think she could beat this immortal who was obsessed with his disciples and daughters when it came to cooking.

"Then I won't be polite."

Freya picked up a piece of sandwich and stuffed it into her mouth.

The fried egg, lettuce, tomato, and slices of fresh cheese in the sandwich are squeezed together by your teeth the moment they enter your mouth, and all kinds of flavors explode at the same time, and a strong sense of happiness suddenly fills your mouth.

"Hmm! The carefully cultivated ingredients taste great in their original form. They go really well with the fried egg and the one-sided fried egg from Immortal Fu Hua. The smooth texture of the fried egg, the sweet and sour taste of the tomato, and the fresh cheese all contribute to a very satisfying flavor!"

Perhaps because she had too many worries, Freya could only find such peace and happiness when she was enjoying her three meals a day.

To be honest, she didn't quite understand the ideas of those assassins, or rather, the ideas of a few old stubborn men in the Senate.

Did she think she had an opportunity because she wasn't Acting Grand Bishop?

Is it that she can no longer wield the knife, or has the title of "Black-hearted Saintess" lost its effectiveness?

Moreover, Freya's current physical strength is no longer that of a normal person, and the intensity of Honkai Energy in her body is almost the same as the Honkai intensity when the Second Herrscher was fully awakened during the Second Eruption War. How could ordinary poison have any effect on her?

"Lord Freya, this isn't the time for you to be a judge. Please finish your breakfast quickly, you have a lot of things to do today."

Rita covered her mouth and chuckled. Even though she knew Freya was saying it on purpose, she was still happy about Freya's praise.

"By the way, Lord Freya, Mr. Ryoma has objected to your Diva Project, and he will probably bring it up at the morning meeting today."

"Why the opposition? Diva Project is an experiment. Honkai Energy is an absolute energy. With the technology currently available to civilization, although we can convert Honkai Energy into other energies or use Honkai Energy directly, the utilization rate of Honkai Energy can no longer be improved. Honkai Energy has an extremely strong corrosive ability, and this problem cannot be solved. I want to try to see if Honkai Energy can be converted into the power of faith, or whether the power of consciousness driven by Honkai Energy can be used to overwrite reality."

Honkai Energy can be converted into other forms of energy, which is why the Alliance's weapons can manipulate wind, release fire, spray water, control gravity, and so on. However, Honkai Energy can also affect consciousness.

While some researchers argue that consciousness is merely an electronic signal and that manipulating consciousness is simply operating the body's electrical currents, others advocate controlling the secretion of substances in the brain of the target individual, as well as the proportions of fluids such as blood and bone marrow.

However, the power of consciousness does indeed have the potential to influence reality.

First of all, emotions are a manifestation of consciousness.

For example, in a fire scene, a mother unleashes amazing strength to save her child.

One story goes that the mother, in order to save her child, broke free from the limitations of her body and unlocked her hidden potential, thus being able to lift the car that was pressing down on the child. However, this was simply due to the rapid secretion of certain hormones in her body, which resulted in a seemingly illogical outcome, much like a miracle.

In fact, Kiana's Revenge Flame and Loving Freeze are products of such miracles, and to some extent, they mirror reality.

After all, it's just not normal for someone to awaken two abilities that are so extremely effective at countering Honkai Energy.

"Honkai Energy can also be transformed into consciousness energy and emotional energy..."

According to Freya, consciousness is a form of energy, and so are emotions. They are both transformed through Honkai Energy, an absolute energy, just like the thermal and electrical energy transformed from Honkai Energy.

In fact, there are too many unsolved mysteries surrounding Honkai Energy, Freya couldn't imagine what Honkai Energy n't do.

Perhaps Honkai Energy really is as omnipotent as she thinks, with nothing it can't do if you can't imagine it.

"In any case, this is the next research project for Jackal and me. The Diva Project is an attempt to collect the power of faith."

"So, you mean Miss Mei Aurora absolutely have to wear dresses and sing and dance on stage?"

Rita thought that a certain doting father would definitely go crazy.

They would even throw the Diva Project's proposal right in Welt's face.

Although Freya was the one who came up with the Diva Project, Welt was the one who took the blame. Whenever someone objected, they would usually consult with Welt first.

Although Welt is the governor of the league and Ryoma is his deputy, judging from their daily division of labor, Welt is more like Ryoma's deputy.

Freya nodded vigorously.

That's right, she wanted Mei and Aurora on stage and sing and dance.

"It's because Ryoma wants me to sing and dance at the next charity event!"

"... So, in order to get revenge on Lord Ryoma, you've decided to drag Mei into this mess?"

Rita couldn't help but smile wryly.

Others may take revenge even after ten years, but the one you serve will take revenge without delay.

Of course, the saying "revenge should not be delayed overnight" is usually just an adjective and does not mean that revenge should be taken immediately.

However, this theory didn't work for Freya.

Ryoma suggested that Freya sing and dance at the next charity event, a suggestion made at yesterday's morning meeting. Freya then drafted the Diva Project in the afternoon and handed it directly to Welt and Ryoma, which led to Ryoma's objection.

"How can singing and dancing be considered a drag? It's just for researching the power of faith. Maybe it can really open up a new power system for the alliance."

Freya opened her eyes wide and said with a serious expression.

In fact, Freya has not yet been able to overwrite reality with her consciousness, nor has she found a way to utilize the power of emotions.

Kiana's ability to use vengeance and compassion may be due to her innate talent.

Freya didn't even understand the power of emotions, so how could she have time to study the power of faith?

She was indeed talking nonsense; she was just annoyed that Ryoma suggested she sing and dance. The Schariac Saintess throughout history had often worked in the performing arts, saying that this kind of publicity could increase popularity.

Are you kidding me? I'm so cute and adorable, why would I need to sing and dance to increase my popularity?!

Freya didn't retaliate against Ryoma; instead, she shifted her anger to Ryoma's daughter.

Rather than retaliating against Ryoma himself, it's easier to make the man surrender by taking his anger out on Ryoma's daughter, and even make him never dare to bring up the topic again.

"Does Lord Freya dislike singing and dancing?"

"Dislike? Not really, just a casual humming."

To be honest, Freya didn't dislike singing and dancing; rather, singing and dancing were always Freya's way of venting her emotions.

Like shouting a secret into a well, Freya vented her unwillingness to express her weakness and resentment by singing loudly.

The top-floor room in this luxury apartment building is so spacious that it wouldn't be difficult to set up a small home theater or a private karaoke room.
