"First, as a maid, one must pay attention to etiquette. A person without manners is no better than a beast... blah, blah, blah... Secondly, one must serve the person one attends to... blah, blah, blah... Then... blah, blah, blah..."
Liang looked at Nasha, who was explaining the rules of a practical maid at the table. Liang suppressed her sleepiness, feeling internally collapse and wanting to strangle her past self from two hours ago. 'Why did you have such a loose tongue? Why couldn't you just live a good life as a parasite?'
Two hours ago, Liang looked at Nasha, who brought her food with a calm yet gloomy expression. She felt a little uneasy, 'This person won't poison me if she gets annoyed with me, will she?' Thinking of this, Liang couldn't help but shiver. It was truly terrifying.
'Is there anything I can help with?'
But looking at the bread, milk, and sausage Nasha brought, she felt a little guilty about freeloading, so she asked Nasha, who hadn't left yet.
'No need.'
'Your identity hasn't been investigated yet. Once it's clear, whether you stay or leave will depend on the Queen's command.'
Nasha said coldly to Liang, who was lying in bed. She genuinely didn't like this impolite person much.
'Sigh~! When will I be able to see Princess Guinevere again?'
Looking at the bread in her hand, Liang's thoughts were on another person. It was obvious and delightful; she had fallen in love with Zeus at first sight. Although her feelings were genuine, it was a pity she didn't have the power to win back her crush. This destined her unrequited love to be fruitless. She felt very helpless about her current situation, not only because her body was small, but more so because she had just arrived in this world and wasn't very familiar with everything. She wanted to do something but lacked the ability. For now, she could only helplessly accept the situation. There was nothing she could do!
'If you become a maid, you might be able to see the Princess again.'
Regarding Liang's sigh, Nasha thought for a moment. Although it was uncertain, Nasha had a slight idea: it wouldn't be bad to train her to become one of their own. But they needed someone who could teach this person. If she wasn't guided properly, she might become an enemy. Who should teach her?
'Uh~! It seems I'll have to do it myself.'
After thinking for a long time, Nasha couldn't determine who could train a'spy' into one of their own. As she thought, she realized she would have to do it herself in the end, because there was no one else available!
'Really? Can I really see her again?'
Liang was suddenly overjoyed by this good news. They say people in love have low IQs. Even if she couldn't be with her forever, she wanted to stay by her side and watch her. Liang now understood this feeling, and she understood it very deeply.
'Of course, but...'
'Next, I will strictly train you for a period to let you understand what a maid is.'
'No problem.'
Having made up her mind, Nasha said sternly to Liang, who also expressed her happiness and had no issues. So Nasha gave Liang a deep look and began to prepare materials. She also had to ask 'Princess Guinevere' for instructions. Fortunately, Zeus found it very interesting and agreed. Nasha didn't dare to tell the Queen; if she had, Liang would probably be in some assassin training camp by now, becoming a qualified assassin! After all, that person's daughter-complex was already in its late stages.
So, we now see Liang with a look of collapse mixed with bitterness, watching the enthusiastic Nasha on the podium, smiling helplessly. But how much she was falling apart inside, only she knew. 'Baby has bitterness in her heart, but she just won't say it.'
'How interesting!'
Watching the relationship between the two slowly stabilize, Zeus observed from a corner. The main thing was to see the 'fellow countryman' make a fool of herself, which was truly delightful and a great tool to spice up her current boring life. Splendid!
'Today's enjoyment ends here. It's more important to quickly improve my strength for self-preservation.'
After a slight refocus, Zeus turned and returned to her room, beginning to research magic.
Meanwhile, in the dark and sunless Underworld, on this lifeless land, transparent, sorrowful souls occasionally passed by, accompanied by mournful and desolate wails. In this Underworld, the ruler of the Underworld, one of the three God-Kings, Hades, hosted four respected guests in her temple today. They were all Hades's blood relatives and also her romantic rivals.
The atmosphere among them was extremely awkward. Even Demeter, the chattiest and liveliest of the four, was now silent. The entire temple was filled with an unusually oppressive atmosphere.
'Alright, since none of you are speaking, then I'll make things clear.'
Finally, Poseidon couldn't bear it anymore. She truly didn't dare to rush her eldest sister, who wasn't fond of talking. It seemed she needed to step in and break the stalemate, otherwise, who knew how long this meeting would last?
'Everyone must have noticed the disappearance of our youngest and cutest sister, Zeus, right?'
As Poseidon said this, she looked at the expressions of the four. It was clear they all knew Zeus was no longer in the God Realm, but where had she gone? To this day, they still didn't know. The high and mighty 'Grandmother' didn't come forward to explain, completely allowing them to continue guessing. But they weren't fools; they could all vaguely sense that Zeus's disappearance was inextricably linked to their Grandmother.
'Our current problems are: One, we don't know Zeus's current location or her condition. Two, our Grandmother's attitude; she has no intention of letting us know Zeus's whereabouts. Three, our power is too weak; we cannot use force to get information about Zeus from Grandmother. Four, we are not united enough.'
When she reached the last point, Poseidon looked around at her four sisters. Only they knew their feelings for Zeus. For her, Poseidon, she simply loved Zeus. She wanted to see Zeus's cute smile every day, wanted to see her live happily under her care, wanted to see her at night, beneath her... cough cough! Those were all things for the future.
'Since you can bring these up, do you have a solution?'
Hera immediately stood up and confronted Poseidon, as if she wouldn't let Poseidon off easily without an explanation.
'Enough, don't cause infighting here.'
Before Poseidon could retort, Hades released her divine might, instantly silencing both of them. After all, no one present was as strong as the eldest, Hades. Even Poseidon was two levels below Hades. The two sat down obediently, awaiting the eldest's wise counsel.
'Zeus, we will definitely get her back. Now, we must gather our strength. If you are willing to participate, swear an oath to the River of Oaths. If not, then get out.'
Hades made a decisive decision. Now was not the time for conflict. Instead of letting them fight, it was better to gather her own strength and go to war with Gaia. With that person's help, the chances of success wouldn't be small.
The four looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.
