The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess
Chapter 104: This Girl Got No ChillsA magnificent carriage pulled by many beautiful white horses was rushing forward swiftly.
Its current destination was the city of Chelsa which was quite close to the Holy City.
The people stood aside leaving the way for the carriage to pass through from before, in case they offended the person who sat inside it unconsciously.
Inside it was a girl with reddish hair who gazed at the scenery of the City passing by her as her mind drifted towards the events that happened a little more than a year ago which changed her entire life along with four others.
Arriving at the side branch of her Merchant association, she changed her appearance.
She wore a black wick along with a skin face mask which changed her appearance and walked on the streets filled with people.
Beside her walked four people wearing black ethenic dresses which covered their faces with cloaks which made them look like the group that was just a poor bunch of people who may have come here to offer their holy prayers.
But behind the cloaks lies fierce bodyguards of Yvonne and each of them was at Transcendent rank.
Yvonne was at the peak of Disciple rank recently. She might have reached Master's rank if not for that incident where she had to sacrifice some part of her life span.
Heading towards the outer district which was usually filled with social outcasts and poor people, whose lives were in sharp contrast to the people who lived in Lock's City.
She arrived at a small orphanage which used to be an old church built by someone who wanted to spread the religion and awareness of God among the common people but it was stopped due to many factions opposing it as it lay in a slum area.
But since the Church had been made, it can't be destroyed as it might be considered heresy so it was left open but no one agreed to become a priest here until she moved here.
Standing before the church, she opened the door which caused piercing rays of the sun to light the entire dimly lit hallway.
"She might be in the prayer chamber," Yvonne muttered to herself and walked into the hallway toward the inner chamber.
Arriving at the centre, she saw the statue of the Goddess of Rebecca below which a lady dressed in white robes sat on her knees while joining her hands.
Athena, the lady who used to be known as Saintess and whom many thoughts of having an outshining future had now become a priestess of this small space.
She had a perfect appearance, perfect capability and temperament that may even outshine the angels of heaven itself.
Out of the oddball of five, both Riya and she were overly beautiful which may even evoke jealousy in some goddesses.
While Riya had quite a seductive and sensual figure, Athena had a gentle and innocent outlook making her look holy even with her busty figure.
If one had to pick a flaw with this woman whose existence seemed to be blessed by Heaven itself it would be her overbearing kindness and sweetness which make her extremely difficult to deal with even for Yvonne.
While Yvonne is quick, sharp-witted and relies on herself to deal with situations, Athena mostly leaves everything to nature to take its course.
Until the situation required her intervention, she wouldn't even budge from her decision but once she decided to do something, nothing in the world can stop her.
Though it didn't mean she was easy to deal with.
It seemed that she carries a bit of every major characteristic of the four.
Catherine's wisdom, the bravery of Christina, and a beauty comparable to Riya's and she also had a very deep aura of fortune and much to her surprise, the aura of fortune had thickened further compared to the last time.
And marrying that idiotic Alex was one of the things which she agreed willingly for some unknown goddamn reason otherwise no matter how strong Kinley was, it was impossible to win against Church without suffering any repercussions.

A pleasant voice sounded in her ears which felt like a heavenly melody.
For a moment she was startled as to how she knew it but her shock didn't last long as she knew that Athena had some other means.
Yvonne didn't argue and nodded. She took out her shoes and followed Athena's notion and sat down like her and prayed for some time.
The guards also prayed for some time and after receiving her orders moved out of the room and stood outside while guarding it.
"Athena, I have got some news about him."
Athena who was praying with closed eyes suddenly opened them and blinked a couple of times.
She had crimson eyes which sparkled for a moment but the shine died down quickly leaving a black pupil.
Her expression changed a little and standing up, she took a small cloth and wrapped it around her eyes and asked Yvonne to follow her.
Athena led her toward the inner room
Yvonne following her asked curiously, "Hey, how are you walking around like this even though you have gone blind. The last time, I was here, I remembered that you were led by those cute children."
" Fu...Fu..Fu.."Athena giggled and explained, "I may have lost my eyesight but I still have most of my powers."
"I can feel the mana flow. Every object had a particular mana signature which helped me to identify, just like your orange glow of yours that covered your body which allowed me to know that you have come here."
Yvonne nodded her head. She remembered Athena saying that the effects of blindness are not permanent and her eyesight may recover but only God knows how much time it will take.
Preparing some tea in a pan and serving it to Yvonne, she sat beside her and spoke with a soft tone"So, how is Alex?"
"I don't know what to say? It hadn't been a while since that guy woke up and he was already going around looking for trouble."
Athena's burrows furrowed for a moment and she asked curiously"Last time, I remember you said that you received a report of him recovering and training himself."
"So, how can he cause so much ruckus in a short time?"
"Apparently, after some days, he confronted the nobles and purged them out and suppressed them. Recently there has been some trouble in the Western part of Nevan and he marched with hundred soldiers and cleared it."
"Woahhh!Alex has become quite awesome in the time I hadn't seen him." Athena exclaimed with a surprised expression while covering her mouth with her hand.
Yvonne's lips switched for a moment as she thought about it inwardly.
'Though it was a good thing, I don't know what is awesome about that. Moreover, since he had recovered, wasn't this, his duty to look after the Kingdom as the King unless he wanted to eat sleep drink and wanted to remain an idiot for the rest of his life.'
"Hush!" Yvonne sighed seeing Athena cheering for Alex like a fan girl after hearing his deeds.
"He is also advancing Nevan on the economic front and is introducing reforms after reforms. I have a headache reading the reports which looked as if every day, he was doing something new."
"I don't know how Is it possible to change so much like this."
"Who knows? Maybe it's the Goddess's blessing." Athena smiled.
Yvonne rolled her eyes trying to ignore her annoying words otherwise she was sure that she may shout at her and since everything is Goddess's wish shouldn't your fall might be also Goddess's arrangement, whom you have devoted your life to.
"I don't know what you like about him. Is there even something in him that one can like?" Yvonne spoke with annoyance.
"Who said there is none? I like that cute, lovely cheek of his and I have known him since he was ten years old and I used to visit him when I visited the castle to cast blessings and play with him afterwards."
"Those times were so sweet. I wish I could cage him and keep him with me."
Yvonne almost spewed the tea on hearing her words as she was startled by the sudden intervention.
"But I heard that he had slimmed down and grown tall and become quite muscular,"
"Now the cheeks you loved had gone, so now what?"Yvonne asked with a large grin on her face.
"What, he had already slimmed down?"
"Hmmm."
" So, what if his cheeks are gone? I'm gonna feel his muscular body and all his abs. He would surely look heavenly with his well-toned body and those red eyes paired along with golden hairs. He must look like a banished immortal"Athena spoke with an excited tone as if she was praising her idol.
"Wipe that drool on your face and stop acting like a pervert?"
"Why the hell did you lose your calmness when you talk about that swine? Stop being vulgar?" Yvonne shouted.
"You were a saintess before so don't spoil your image."
"What do you mean by vulgar? I am praising and fantasising about my own husband? If you are so jealous of my husband's divine beauty, why don't you look for your husband and try to boast about him?"Athena said with a smug smile.
"Did you forget that he is also my husband but that doesn't mean that I can talk about those things openly?" Yvonne spoke while slamming her hand on the table but her tongue-tied thinking about what she had said
"See, stop acting like a foolish ignorant. Now that Alex is back to normal, we can start a normal life instead of trying to deny our fate." Athena spoke with a smile.
"Fate.Huh!!"
"What do you mean by that Athena, tell me the truth, you know something about it?"
"Moreover, didn't the church have seers who can get a glimpse of the future."
"Fate. What fate? And when do we have seers? What do you mean by that?" Athena tried to feign ignorance but Yvonne pressed forward as she thought that she had got something but Athena didn't even take her seriously.
"Okay! Let's stop. This was where serious talk started."Yvonne spoke with a sigh as she failed to get anything useful from Athena.
"Amidon has waged the war on Wright."
"And Amidon had invested a lot in this war. Though I suppressed my merchant association from giving out the loan, our rivals tried their luck in this war by giving out huge loans to Amidon."
"I'm pretty sure that Catherine and Christina would have trouble defending against it, especially after Kinley raided it and took their defensive artefact which Wright relied on to win all the wars till now."
"So, what should we do?" Yvonne asked with a serious expression.
"What do you want to do?" Athena asked with a curious gaze.
"Shouldn't we? I mean lend a helping hand. I think of sending two or three Transcendent rank experts may help them greatly."
"Ohhh!Yvonne holds your horses. Are you thinking about interfering in the war? Did you forget your neutral policy? You don't have political power so you can't interfere in the war between the Kingdoms." Athena explained.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That might be before but now that my so-called husband is in trouble along with our sisters, shouldn't we extend a helping hand."
Athena put down the cup and raised her head towards Yvonne who felt a piercing gaze which seemed to pierce deep into her soul.
"If you want to help as a wife then I don't think it's the right time. The war had just started and who said that Amidon will win the war. What if they were beaten badly?"
"So, your interference, in that case, would be unnecessary and on top of that, it will bring more trouble to you."
Athena's lips curled upwards as she spoke"Moreover, this battle is not about Wright or Amidon."
"This is the beginning of the battle between Alex and those forces who had been testing the water."
"And don't tell me,you don't guess it even with your vast resources."
Yvonne nodded her head on hearing Athena's words.
"So, if you want to help then just watch on the sidelines and intervene if their lives are on the line."
"Still, I don't think it will come to killing and they would prison them at best."
Athena slumped down while resting her chin on her palm and said"Yvonne, let me tell you one thing about Alex."
" Alex is indeed an imbecile, he doesn't care nor does he know anything about this world but there was one particular thing which is special about him."
"Even when he was an idiot,he knew what his precious thing was and he would lunge forward if anyone tried to take it from him."
"Even though he wasn't able to understand anything he would burst out when anyone tried to take Riya from him and now that he had become a normal person…"
"Moreover, we have already done our duty as his wives and now it's his job to his duty as a husband which he has to do no matter how."
"You seemed to be curious about the things that are happening."
"Let me give you a foreshadowing as a gift for our meeting."
"Countless strings of faith intertwined and entangled in the sea of times to nurture the fate who carries an enormous burden for the world and prepare the children of fate for the upcoming crisis."
"Destruction will follow on the land they walk,
When they start wreaking havoc, even pleas from heaven fall deaf ears."Athena spoke with a smile.
"What kind of bullshit is this?"
"Who the hell are you talking about?" Yvonne asked with a curious expression.
"Hahahaha!Nothing, it was just random blabbering and a pickup line that I picked from the children."
"Sheesh! I forget about the children. Now quickly get out of here."
"Unlike you, I have to take care of the neighbouring children."
"Those cute little children might be coming for prayer." Athena stood up and dragged down Yvonne who asked her to explain those words but her plea fell on deaf ears and he was finally thrown out.
"Wait!! Angela answer my question before throwing me out." Yvonne's voice reverberated but Athena's turned a blind eye to her screams and closed the door on her face.
CLANKKK!
Closing the doors, he leaned on the wall while wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"This girl got no chills."
