Louie remained silent as he waited for Andrea to finish her offer.

He had always known that she had a way with words. From the beginning, she wore a false mask and never showed her true face, but Louie did not care. All that mattered were the benefits and costs of aligning with her.

And apparently, Andrea was just an ordinary mortal, so at this point, she wasnt much of a threat to him.

Towards Andreas proposition of having his child, Louie would have not hesitated to agree when he was a demigod, but now that he was a god, he felt that he was losing out.

Although gods and mortals could easily have children, a true god was a true god. How could they easily just allow themselves to have children?

Louie thought haughtily.

He looked with a calm gaze at the young girl who was bowing her head expectantly and said, Now that the Subila Empire is gone and leaving only the capital, it does not possess the splendor it once had. With the revival of the gods, the power of royalty could not win over the power of the divine. Andrea, even if you become a queen that grasps the royal power, you cannot force your people to believe in something.

I am a god. Apart from faith, mortal power is just a passing cloud to me.

Andreas blushing expression gradually calmed down. Her beautiful face slightly paled, and she bit her lips and said, My father is not willing to admit that royal right loses over divine right. The gods only have a small influence over the Subila Kingdom. If you are willing to help me to ascend the throne, I will open up the missionary rights for your church to preach over the whole kingdom.

She continued, Although the Subila Empire is not as vast as it once was, the kingdom still occupies the central part of the empire. It possesses a strong military, a developed economy, and a population of up to six million people. These six million people arent too influenced by other churches, so you can definitely sway them to you with some effort.

Louie sat on Andreas bed and leaned on the head of the bed. He smiled and looked at her, Your words are very reasonable, but your fathers situation shouldnt be that good. With his persistence, he is unwilling to throw away the foundation of the royal family. His royal will and glory deserve recognition.

But his behavior is foolish. It wont end well to become the enemy of the gods. Gods will not personally make moves, but if the kingdom faces internal and external problems, then they will take advantage of the situation to eliminate him.

Although I have not paid attention to the affairs of the Subila Kingdom, I can probably guess that the lords who had split off are sharpening their knives with the support of major churches. Even your elder brothers should probably want to overthrow your father.

Louie stood up and walked slowly towards her. He stretched out his hand, raised Princess Andreas chin, and looked at her innocent eyes that had gloom and stubbornness hidden in their depths.

Becoming a god is every mortals dream. Andrea, speak your true desire. Whether its a sickening desire or a touching sublimity, this God will face you equally!

As Louies dark golden pupils looked her in the eyes, Andrea felt as if she was being played around with by an ancient divine creature. With their height difference, she had to stand on tiptoe when Louie grabbed her chin. Even her cheeks hurt under the force of Louies big hands.

Perhaps knowing that her lies could not affect the gods, Andrea showed a miserable smile, My brothers want to force my father to abdicate. If he is not willing, they would stage a coup. My elder brothers want me to marry the Duke of Carolin, who should nowadays be called King Carolin, in exchange for his support. The fiefdom of Carolin is one of the strongest kingdoms that have been created from the dissolution of the empire.

Nowadays, everyone in the kingdom is living in fear. All the nobles no longer trust her father, believing that his decision will lead them to destruction. Several great nobles have already been contacted by the major churches of the gods and even support my royal brothers.

Andreas posture looked miserable, like a sickly flower that was withering away. Her watery eyes and delicate face made her look more pathetic.

Your father has gone mad.

Yes, my father has gone mad. Now that the whole continent knows about the return of the gods, father is going against the thread, and will end up receiving no ones support.

Then Andrea, are you trying to save your father?

No, I don't care about my brothers or my father. I just dont want my life to be manipulated nor do I want to become a political tool in their struggle. I want to obtain my rights. I had the ability to do so and was working hard towards this, but the revival of the gods was just too fast, and I lost the initiative

Andreas delicate face, which was originally pearly, suddenly turned a little bit hysterical. Her gloomy gaze suddenly burned with ambition and fire, but the strange thing was that the princess expression still contained that innocent temperament.

Louie did not care about Andreas contradictory and bizarre temper, but her words made Louie raise an eyebrow. From Andreas words, he could tell that she had already long found out about the revival of the gods, which was somewhat unbelievable. Even Louie would not have known about it if the Silver Moon Goddess had not informed him.

Other than you, I can also choose to support your royal brother. As a true god, my church would have gained the right to enter this country to preach. This is something that even other gods cannot stop, so I dont really need you.

Louie maintained an aggressive stance.

My image has a great influence on the people, and this is what I had been working on in the past. If utilize my influence, I believe that your church will be able to gain a huge lead in the competition of gaining faith.

Andrea, who was still being grabbed on the chin, spoke with a different tone of voice.

Not bad, your reasoning is decent. So, why did you choose me, Andrea? Your conditions are enough to make any god move for you. Even if you dont choose me, you still have other churches to choose from.

Louie let go of the princess chin. His hands slid down the neckline of her chiffon dress and then roughly rubbed the princess delicate mounds.

Andrea revealed a look of pain. She forced her body to hold back the discomfort and softly said, Because I do not trust other gods. I have seen you before you became a god. I know of your power, and compared to other gods, I prefer to believe in your wisdom!

Very good reason.

And, I also have a great ambition that I need to actualize. Do you know about the Prince of Lies?

Andreas words shocked Louie. He let go of the princess and narrowed his gaze, Tell me about it.
