After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

Luna immediately drafted the document, delivered it to the secretariat, and soon returned.

She preferred running errands for her brother to handling government affairs. In other words, she would much rather do physical labor than mental work.

Oswald silently watched Luna sitting beside him, lost in thought, for a while, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The future emperor, the only one who can slack off without a care in the world while he's in the office is his own younger sister.

Come to think of it, Luna is also someone with special powers? Oswald thought her ability was some kind of wind element variant.

Unbound by the laws of time, eliminating its own motion...

Jenny said that Annie was like a burning fireball that had gone out, leaving only absolute coldness. Jenny herself could control the flow of energy, plus Eline, who was purely powerful but had nothing special about her, and Luna's adaptability to time.

The four of them seem to be completely out of sync, and their skills are entirely unrelated.

If Oswald's arrival disrupted the timeline, causing the Goddess of Law to make some kind of arrangement around those around him, then the goddess should have left some clues behind.

Oswald was somewhat frustrated. He knew too little about the Creator God, a being of such high status who should theoretically be eternal.

They have the ability to see the past and the future and possess the powerful ability to reshape the universe within a light-year range. Based on the information revealed by the system, Oswald guesses that the creator god on his home planet is likely still alive, and there is more than one.

The problem now is that the Goddess of Creation and the God of Lust have mutually destroyed each other, turning this world into a pornographic world.

As a player, I seem to have some special mission here, and I'm surrounded by heroes chosen by the Goddess of Law. So, what am I supposed to do?

The two siblings stared blankly into space. Oswald yawned, and Luna also yawned, revealing her little tiger teeth.

Oswald pinched her cheek. "Stop playing around. Go and bring Annie over. I have some questions for her."

Unable to find an answer himself, Oswald decided to start with Annie. After all, Annie's situation was special; she was not only chosen by both gods but also the only hero who had lost her powers.

No wonder it's so weak...

However, the curse on Annie did not go unfulfilled. If Oswald had not misread the timeline, after Annie awoke from her death, a mysterious girl who could activate the Spiral of Desire would suddenly appear among the goddess's apostles.

Who exactly did she bring back?

Based on the principle that wishes and curses are equal, Annie's wish is to free Oswald's original soul from this messed-up world and from the goddess's control; perhaps for her, this is also a kind of liberation.

Based on Oswald's understanding of Annie, she probably intended to use her family's advantages in the second life to try to rule the Northern Territory, which had no adult heirs, defeat the young Luna, and then launch a struggle that was doomed to fail.

As a result of the conflict between her wishes and Nicole's, the world was restarted and time travelers appeared. She lost her past memories and became a member of the hero team again.

Assuming Annie's wish was activated alone and did not attract any transmigrators, whose soul would be inside this body to give Annie the same despair?

Thinking of that mysterious girl, Oswald carefully recalled the contents of the original work, but could not find such a person.

A woman who died many years ago, who was loyal to the goddess, and who was associated with Oswald and Annie, will cause Annie to fall into despair upon her appearance.

No, it's not necessarily women. Women have many perverts under their command; the Great Sage, for example, enjoys controlling young girls' bodies…

"Duke of Oswald".

Annie, whose mental state had clearly stabilized considerably, was led to the office by Luna. After a brief greeting to Oswald, she stood there, adjusted her glasses, and quickly flipped through a diary.

Annie was not treated harshly in the cell, and Luna provided her with basic living facilities. However, Annie, who was obsessed with organizing her memories in her diary, soon suffered from vision loss due to the dim oil lamp in the cell.

"The method you taught her?" Oswald asked Luna in a low voice.

Luna shook her head. "She said a friend taught her that, and to avoid losing her memory, she carved the sentence on the wall."

friend?

Oswald didn't delve into the matter for the time being, but instead observed Annie's every move with great interest.

The root cause of Annie's madness lies in her confused memories. People often say that everyone's story is a book, but Annie's book is forever incomplete.

In Annie's case, the cause, process, and result of an event may only have a result, without a process.

However, recording it in writing is only a temporary solution, because Annie will soon discover that her latest memory may have already been recorded.

It's just a diary now, but once those repetitive stories fill the cell, her spirit will be completely crushed.

"You know I'm not him, right?" Oswald asked.

Annie answered briefly, her gaze never leaving the diary. "I know."

"Do you still remember the wish and the curse of your prayer?"

"You can speak frankly, Duke Oswald. I am lucid now and remember the past."

"very good."

Oswald smiled calmly. "My first question is, Miss Annie, you've released his soul, so when the curse comes true, who do you think is the last soul that should return?"

Luna turned her head away. Her current older brother was the best; she wouldn't think about those complicated issues.

Annie finally put down the diary filled with dense writing, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes behind her glasses.

"Maria?" she answered instinctively.

Oswald shook his head. "I'm saying that before you even made your wish, all that remained was your soul."

After thinking for a moment, Annie frowned. "I'm sorry, I can't think of anyone like that."

"That's alright. I have another question. Can you recall all the details of when you inherited the Heart of Prayer? Or, in other words, did any significant changes occur in you before and after the inheritance?"

This time, Annie didn't think for long; she almost blurted it out as she reinforced her memory.

"Yes, I can remember the day when the desire for a marriage suddenly appeared. That day, our two families went to the royal city together, mainly to deliver my marriage certificate to the Papacy. We agreed to become husband and wife in ten years."

"After completing this task, he and the Duke went to the palace, and then my father also received invitations from several nobles to go to other places for talks. While I was wandering around the Papacy with nothing to do, suddenly a light appeared..."

"Wait a moment."

Luna, sensing that something was amiss, interrupted Annie's recollection.

Luna sighed, glanced at her seemingly clueless brother, and couldn't help but rub her temples.

"Miss Annie, first of all, I need to tell you that my brother did not go to the capital. It was Archbishop John who came to the Northern Territory in person and took away your marriage certificate."

Although Luna was young at the time, she still remembers that day when many religious decorations suddenly appeared in the house. Her mother told her that a very distinguished guest had come to visit.

The adults had to discuss her brother's marriage for a long time, so Luna basically spent the whole day in her mother's room.

"Secondly, the old king was a decisive and ruthless tyrant, and the local lords would never bring their heirs to meet with him."

To put it bluntly, Frank is the prince who is most like the old king. After all, he is willing to do anything for the throne, even mobilizing the royal guards under his mother's command to kill his own brother.

So how foolish must his father have been to stroll around the capital with the heir? Even if the old king didn't kill them, just detaining them would inevitably lead to unrest in the northern territories over time.

"No, my memory can't be wrong." After a long pause, Annie flipped through her diary and said excitedly, "I still remember the jokes he told me on the way here, we, we..."

The brother and sister ignored Annie's explanation and began to talk in hushed tones, occasionally casting questioning glances at Annie.

Seeing this, Annie became even angrier. There was no need to look anymore; the soul she least wanted to see was the man who was now possessing Oswald's body!

Now that you've become him, be a little gentler with me!

When Annie recalled her interactions with the person in front of her, they were mostly unbearable memories. It wasn't hostility, but a blatant disregard.

To be honest, there were some good memories too. On the night he sent himself to his death, Oswald smiled so sweetly...
