Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 187 Chapter 187: Before Thia arrives ?

“Nova, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”

After returning to reality, Renji immediately took the Nova into a private dark room.

Nova sitting across on a tufted cushion shook her head, indicating either one would be fine.

“The good news is, we might be able to see Suthia tonight.”

“And it’s Thia’s real body coming over,” Renji thought for a moment and then added.

For this good news, a great surprise appeared on Nova’s face, because although Dragon Nation and Holy Kingdom are adjacent, the straight-line distance between them is still not short, let alone they were at the sealed city of the pass.

In Nova’s impression, Suthia didn’t have displacement abilities like Lena, nor did she have a dragon transformation like herself. She thought the earliest she could see Suthia would be in two or three days.

But now

Surprise followed by an immediate surge of deep emotion in Nova’s heart.

Yeah.

Having a sister who, upon hearing that she was injured, immediately dropped everything and rushed to her, who wouldn’t be moved?

Later, when she heard Renji add that Suthia was coming in her “true body,” Nova was even more at a loss for words.

She also knew about Suthia’s contamination from Renji’s side. The nun had to keep her real body in the confession room, using the contract to continuously exorcise it.

And now, just for herself, for better treatment of her, Suthia was willing to risk the relapse of contamination and come with her real body, making Nova even more convinced in her heart that her initial decision to form an alliance with Suthia was indeed the right choice!

Across.

Renji, seeing the range of expressions on Nova’s face, knew that she must have misunderstood something.

“Sigh…”

“Alright, now it’s time for the bad news.”

Hearing the bad news that even Renji seemed so worried about, Nova immediately perked up, fully attentive. Nova didn’t understand, what bad news could be comparable after such a big piece of good news.

Until

“The bad news is, I haven’t notified Suthia at all” Renji in the dark room spread his hands.

Nova: “!!!?”

After a moment of distraction, the Nova quickly realized and said, “That must be Lena, right?”

Indeed, aside from them, the only one who knew the content of their ‘ritual’ was that pink-haired succubus.

And with Lena’s ability to plan, it’s not impossible that she informed Suthia in advance to prepare for healing while they were still performing the ritual.

This way, it would mean that she and Suthia could seamlessly connect, allowing her to receive healing from the nun right away.

‘Lena, she really is good little sister!’

The gratitude towards Suthia and Lena once again surged in Nova’s heart, even more intense than before!

After all, who wouldn’t be moved by having such a sister who never shows up but always cares and helps you behind the scenes? However, Nova quickly snapped out of her emotional state and realized something was off.

These all sound like good news. 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

So where’s the bad news?

“I now suspect that Lena not only told Suthia about the ritual but also shared the ‘hidden parts’ with her.”

“Hidden parts?” Nova asked, tilting her head.

‘What hidden parts could there be in a ritua…’

‘Oh…’

The expression on Nova’s face suddenly stiffened, and the small dark room fell into a brief silence. Then, in a flustered tone, the dragoness struggled to ask, “Are you sure? Could you have misunderstood Lena? Didn’t you say before that Lena had changed, and that I shouldn’t judge her with a biased view? I think Lena definitely wouldn’t do such a thing!”

Renji shook his head in response.

“Nova, do you think cutting horns is a treatment method?”

Nova: “…?”

“Then I guess I didn’t misunderstand.”

Renji thought hard about the reason for Suthia’s reversion to darkness, and there seemed to be only one. And when he later saw the nun’s abnormal obsession with Nova’s dragon horns, Renji became even more certain.

Suthia must have known about the things between him and Nova.

‘And it seems…’

‘She knew quite a lot!’

On the other hand, Nova, slightly pausing at Renji’s somewhat enigmatic words, instantly understood. This realization made her expression even more tense and flustered.

If possible, Nova really wished her “instant understanding” of her master’s words wasn’t used in such matters.

But there was no helping it.

From the moment her dragon horns were used as a ‘steering wheel’ by her master, the outcome was probably already sealed.

Now, Nova only wanted Lena to return the emotion she had just felt.

But Nova soon comforted: “No, no, it’s okay!”

“Don’t worry Master, even if Suthia really comes to kill, Nova will definitely be able to restrain her, to calm Thia down first!”

The dragoness clenched her fist to her chest, as if saying, since the cover is blown, let’s not pretend anymore, appearing very confident, very much in line with Nova’s straightforward and stubborn character.

However, regarding this.

Renji sighed deeply in his heart.

‘Relaxed?’

He also wanted to be relaxed, but the problem is.

Renji recalled Suthia’s performance in the ‘Dream’, and summarized the nun in one sentence: 𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮

‘She was like a war goddess!’

‘Where is the pure and innocent nun? this Thia with her real body and in Nova’s weakened state, may be several times stronger than Nova!’

Although Suthia in the “Dream” was definitely made darker on purpose, the strength gap should not be far off.

Nova on the other side planned to fight violence with violence.

But in the dream, the real “fighting violence with violence” ended up with Nova lying on the ground, utterly defeated by Suthia, a complete and utter defeat.

How can he believe when she’s already been pummeled!

So Renji took Nova to a small dark room for a meeting, not only to prepare Nova mentally, but also to emphasize not to clash head-on with Suthia, to let Nova calm her impulsive nature, realizing that facing Suthia, the only outcome was to be pummeled.

“Then what should we do Master?” Unknowingly, Nova had moved from Renji’s opposite side to his side, inching closer.

Under Renji’s words, realizing she couldn’t even beat Suthia now, Nova completely lost her empress demeanor, looking more like a little girl, clutching pitifully at Renji’s sleeve, her eyes filled with nervousness and unease, especially about the pair of horns on her head.

Anyone who didn’t know better would think she was a mistress afraid of the wife coming to confront her.

‘Uh.’

‘Seems pretty much the same?’

‘Pah!’

‘What mistress, what wife, such vulgar worldly terms are not worthy of them.’

‘They are all my wings!’

‘Wings!’

Renji smoothly took Nova into his arms, doing so only to comfort her, not because he suddenly found that Nova, showing such a vulnerable and delicate feminine side, was really hitting his XP.

“Don’t be afraid, Nova. To deal with a yandere, cough, to deal with Suthia, it’s actually not good to be too tough; being softer might actually be more effective! So, we need to change our previous plan a bit. If Suthia really comes to kill us, then we’ll do this and that. And then, that and that. Finally….”

“Did you get all that?”

“Mhm, Nova understands!” She nodded her head seriously.

“Alright, then familiarize yourself with the response process. I’m going to try and gather more information about Suthia so we can be more assured!”

“Good luck, Master!”

Watching Nova, who had shed her cold demeanor and now appeared like a wife sending off her husband, overflowing with a sense of being a spouse, Renji couldn’t help himself and embraced the dragoness’s neck before he left.

“Master? Mmm mmm mmm.”

After giving Nova a fierce kiss, Renji was about to leave, but unexpectedly, he was embraced by the her in return, not allowing him to go.

With a flushed face and disheveled clothes, Nova gazed at Renji with watery eyes, her lips still warm from the recent touch, seemingly longing for more.

“Master, when Suthia comes, we won’t be able to do this anymore…”

“So, let’s take advantage of the moment~…”
