Chapter 149: Not Asking for Your Opinion


    "Okay, now that everybody is here, can we talk?" Charise said with a soft smile.


    Her face, however, froze as soon as she saw Sebastian''s condition.


    Although she knew that Sebastian was losing against Regina, she never thought the difference in strength was so big.


    Not only Charise, but most of the others were also stunned when they saw the pitiful state of the demigod.


    Instantly, the way they looked at Regina changedpletely. Regina being a demigod was already very astonishing, but the fact that she managed to trash Sebastian, a famous demigod, so easily while remaining uninjured, was even more mindblowing. Such strength was definitively higher than most demigods!


    "Miss Charise, are you going to exin why you stopped our fight?" Bloed reminded Charise of her purpose here.


    Charise was startled before smiling apologetically. " Oh Sorry. I was just a bit shocked. Where I was? Right, Mr. Bloed, I hope you can let Mr. Sebastian and the others go."


    Bloed frowned. He was not exactly happy with that suggestion.


    Perhaps feeling Bloed''s dissatisfaction, Charise smiled wryly and exined. "Mr. Bloed, you and I know that if you kill them here, you will turn himself into a mortal enemy of the Kingdom of Alterna. Furthermore, Mr. Javelin and Miss Madeline will end embroiled in this mess too as the people that helped you. Are you sure that is what you want?"


    Bloed fell silent. Charise''s words were right. However


    "Even if I let them go now, they will just return again before long. From that perspective, killing them now is better. At least, there is a demigod less from the kingdom I need to worry about."


    Charise smiled. "Don''t worry, I will help you with that." She then turned towards Sebastian. "Mr. Sebastian, I hope your kingdom stops making things difficult for Mr. Bloed from now onwards."


    Sebastian wrinkled his brows. "Saintess, although I understand your intentions, I hope you stop interfering in our kingdom''s affairs. Moreover, I follow my king''s orders. If my king wants to bring Prince Glenn back to the kingdom, I will do it even if it costs me my life."


    Charise stared at Sebastian briefly before chuckling. Then, her expression turned icy.


    "It looks like you are misunderstanding something, Mr. Sebastian. I''m not asking for your opinion; I''m giving you a warning. If you or your king insists on chasing after Mr. Bloed after today, you will go against our church of fate too. Are you sure that is what your king wants?"


    Sebastian''s face changed. Bloed, however, was not much better. He and the others were looking at Charise in bewilderment.


    Charise had just stood in Bloed''s side even when it meant going against a kingdom!


    Even Kallevang seemed slightly surprised. However, he just nced at the saintess briefly before restoring his stoic expression.


    "Saintess, I hope you reconsider your words." Sebastian scowled.


    "There is nothing to reconsider, Mr. Sebastian. Mr. Bloed and his friends are people under the church of fate''s protection. Any act against them means going against our church."


    "Our Moonlight Glow too!" Madeline stepped forward at that moment. "Mr. Bloed is a guest of Moonlight Glow. If you decide to go against him, you will have to consider the response of our organization."


    Sebastian looked at the people around him and narrowed his eyes. No matter how he looked at the situation, things were as bad as they could get.


    On one side, he was badly injured and one of his two subordinates could barely use thirty percent of her strength.


    As for the other side, they had two demigods in top condition. Plus the knights of fate and the beastmen of Moonlight Glow who were ready to attack at any moment.


    Sebastian thought for a moment before closing his eyes and sighing. When he opened his eyes again, he looked at Bloed.


    "Your highness, I hope you reconsider returning to the kingdom. Regardless of the past, your true family is still there."


    Bloed did not even bother to reply to him. His choice was already made. There was nothing to reconsider.


    Sebastian sighed again. "Very well, we will take our leave then."


    But at that moment, he saw Kallevang unsheathing his greatsword and releasing his aura against him!


    Sebastian''s face changed. Instantly, he stood in front of his two subordinates and stared at Kallevang warily.


    Charise spoke at that moment.


    "Mr. Sebastian, I think you should stay for a bit longer." She tilted her head and smiled gently.


    Sebastian''s expression turned ugly. "Saintess, what is the meaning of this?"


    "Nothing much." Replied Charise. "Just, don''t you think you should return the favor after we saved your life? It was Kallevang''s intervention that stopped Miss Regina from taking your life."


    " What do you want?"


    "Well, you can see the situation of the city, right?" Charise pointed to the magic circle around the city and the ashes and smoke floating in the air. "The thing is, we need a bit of help. Can you give us a hand?"


    Sebastian was cursing inwardly. However, he knew he did not have the right to refuse in the current situation.


    Even although Charise would probably not kill him even if he refuses, she could use the fact that he attacked Bloed as an excuse to keep him imprisoned for a long while and give a blow to the kingdom''s reputation.


    Thus, after he heaved his third sigh since he started this conversation, Sebastian agreed.


    "Very well."


    "Great. Then, I think it''s better if we hurry up. We don''t have much time left."
