Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

The Linlank Empire is in complete uproar today—

The gods have returned, the demons have been vanquished, and new gods have been brought in; all of these events have occurred in their country.

[Rhodes Chivenlance, my messenger, is here to reclaim the Demon God's throne for me. I humbly request your support.]

Lilith only gave this one sentence.

There was no explanation for where they disappeared to during this time, nor did they utter a long string of strange brainwashing words.

Because the Star Goddess... or rather, Lilith, is like that.

Her talkativeness only exists with Rhodes.

Of course, it now exists within their entire team.

However, her indifference and arrogance as the "Star Goddess" could not be eliminated.

"Still the same as always, taciturn." Charlotte could also hear this divine oracle. Not to mention the connection between gods, not to mention that she was only fifty meters away from Lilith.

“…” Sylvia wanted to say something, but after hearing Charlotte’s comment about being “taciturn,” she fell silent.

Shouldn't this be how oracles should be?

Otherwise, why would I need to say a lot of things to the believers?

Isn't Charlotte the one in the wrong?

“I’m here,” Lilith’s voice came from behind them.

Lilith was still wearing that light blue, star-studded dress. Her azure eyes blinked slightly as she moved closer to Rhodes from behind, then nestled beside him, and continued:

"Charlotte, as a deity, it's normal for you to have a basic sense of isolation."

“Your master wasn’t like that. Neither was I. Of course… there’s nothing we can do about it, because you haven’t experienced the days of fighting alongside your people, so you won’t understand the meaning of benevolent governance.”

"..." Lilith pursed her lips, looked away, unwilling to argue with Charlotte.

Anyway, she's just an auntie-level person, what's the point of arguing? She acts like an adult lecturing her, which is just annoying to watch... but there's no way to argue back.

Here, it was actually others who reacted more strongly.

Sylvia quietly took two steps back, trying to minimize her presence.

Because there really was such a deity, and He also had a very strong sense of isolation...

Of course, she wasn't like this from the beginning, and although she has a sense of isolation, she'll still risk her life to save her followers when they're truly in danger, right? So she's definitely better than Lilith...

“Rhodes.” Lilith took Rhodes’ hand, her eyes seemingly gleaming with a hint of seeking praise.

But she didn't say it directly; she even paused for half a second before continuing:

“Actually, I did consider not saying you are my messenger in the oracle, but rather… well. But after thinking about it, I feel that it should be done through a divine sacrifice.”

"That way, we'll have more power."

"You just didn't have the courage to say it right away, didn't you?" Rhode saw through Lilith's lie in a second.

How could he not know what Lilith was made of? Using an oracle to convey his confession was no different from killing her.

Once a divine oracle is transmitted, it is a complete sentence, and there is no possibility of retraction or modification.

Unlike standing on the altar where you can struggle internally for five minutes before finally bending down to confess "I like you," the oracle requires you to say it all in one breath.

So it would be a miracle if Lilith could do that.

Lilith, who had been exposed, didn't say anything, but simply looked away, feeling a little guilty.

"……Um."

After saying that, she turned to look at Rhodes, as if trying to prove herself:

"But it's not that I'm afraid to say it, it's just that I'm not ready yet. I'm sure I can do it, believe me."

"I believe you, I believe you." Rhodes reached out and ruffled her hair.

Seeing the strange scene between Lilith and Rhodes, Sylvia quickly realized something was wrong.

wrong……

"Aren't you two just friends?" she asked bluntly, her silver eyes fixed on Lilith.

"Hmm...?" Lilith paused.

Were you found out?

Yes, they look so intimate...

Lilith's inner pride was still not completely severed, so when someone asked her directly, her heart still fluttered a little.

Can--

There are only two people here.

Moreover, doesn't Sylvia's question mean that she and Rhodes are a good match?

With that in mind, she took a deep breath and prepared herself.

Just treat it as practice.

If you say "I like you" to a stranger for the first time, you can confess your feelings to a bunch of strangers the next time.

Therefore, as if to bolster her confidence, she placed her hand on her chest, her blue eyes looking at Sylvia.

A gentle breeze stirred, causing a strand of her hair to flutter in the air.

But her determination was not shaken by the wind.

She nodded gently.

"Yes, it's... my lover."

what.

said it.

Feel……

It doesn't seem that difficult?

Lilith stopped breathing at that moment.

Was it excitement? Or sadness? Both.

Unexpectedly, saying such a sentence is not so difficult for her now.

But the excitement in my heart was quickly extinguished by regret for "if only I could have said it so simply in the past".

Rhodes also paused, feeling a tickle in his ears and a slight increase in his heart rate upon hearing Lilith's words;

Lilith actually said it...

"Yes, that's how it is." He lifted Lilith's hand. "Isn't this obvious?"

“Is that so…?” Sylvia looked at the hands she was holding and felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Right.

To put it bluntly, this is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, right?

Lilith and Rhodes have known each other for so long, and they've worked together for so long to defeat her...

She pursed her lips slightly, then revealed a faint smile:

"I hope you will never die."

"?"

The emotions that Rodben had stirred up froze after he uttered those words.

Is this provocative language?

“No, although it’s very straightforward…” Lilith shook her head, awkwardly averting her eyes, and said softly, “But this is the Dragon God Empire, or rather, it’s the Dragon God’s way of blessing, like… a long and happy marriage…”

What the hell is this "blessing of eternal immortality"?

Rhodes has now gained a better understanding of this "War Empire".

Sylvia remained silent for a short while before continuing:

"Well then, I'm done for today. I'm going to explore the sights of the capital now. Goodbye, everyone."

“We’ll stay with you,” Rod said.

"No need, I'll feel more relaxed walking myself."

Having said that, she ignored Rhodes and Lilith, turned around with a sense of loneliness and desolation, and walked out of the garden;

"I'll go with her and won't disturb you," Charlotte said gently. "I've given you the fragment of the divine position, and my mission this time is complete."

"Okay...take care." Rhodes waved and watched Charlotte catch up with Sylvia.

Rhodes addressed Lilith:

"Unfortunately, I wanted to learn more about her story, but it seems that the Dragon God is still the Dragon God, and his lonely figure cannot be eliminated."

"...Perhaps she wasn't so aloof after all." Lilith saw a glimpse of her past self in the Dragon God's eyes.

Unfortunately... she had no reason to expand her harem.

Why should I help Sylvia? Our relationship isn't exactly good.

Sylvia and Charlotte walked away.

Of course, Charlotte caught up with her too;

“Sylvia,” Charlotte said, standing beside her.

"I said I wanted to wander around quietly by myself."

"Are you heartbroken? Because Rhodes actually has a girlfriend or something."

"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Sylvia's silver eyes looked at Charlotte, her slightly dissatisfied tone revealing her displeasure.

“Well,” Charlotte pointed to her tail, “it drooped down after hearing that sentence.”

"...So what?"

She spoke for half a second before adding:
