Chapter 336: Returning the favor
“If they fought in another continent, the Sea Dragon Empress would still have a little chance. Unfortunately, the outcome of the battle appears to have been decided already.”
While the Holy Priestess suppressed the Sea Dragon Empress, the other high ranking priests contained the destructive aura of their battles, protecting the citizens and the infrastructure of the city.
Even the Archbishop couldn’t avoid working. He was destroying the rubble that flew out of the contained parameters before it could hurt anyone.
Throughout the time, sounds of explosions resounded in the city which kept all the citizens awake and worried.
It took twenty minutes before the commotion calmed down. And those
twenty minutes were like hell filled with uncertainty for the citizens of the city.
Within twenty minutes, the Holy Priestess took the Sea Dragon’s Empress down while making sure to not kill her.
It went as per Eren’s expectations. Before he told the Holy Priestess about the whereabouts of the Sea Dragon Empress, he was already certain that the Priestess was not going to kill the Sea Dragon Empress.
The Sea Dragon Empress was more useful as a hostage than she was dead. If she was killed, there was no saying how the Dragon Empire was going to react. With so much uncertainty around, she didn’t want to create another variable.
On the other hand, as long as she had the Sea Dragon Empress in her grasp, she could control the Dragon Empire with her life. To save their Queen, the Dragons were going to do anything. That was the extent of loyalties that the Dragons had towards their Queen.
In the Dragon Empire, there was no sibling rivalry to take the throne. Even though the Sea Dragon Empress had another sibling in the Dragon Empire, it was evident that the throne of the Empress was going to belong to the current ruler until she was killed.
Holy shackles appeared around the neck, ankles and wrists of the Sea Dragon
Empress which carried hundreds of
kilograms of weight, keeping the powerful
physique strength of the Sea Dragon
Empress under strain.
The Holy Priestess also closed the Dragon Empress’ mouth, preventing her from using the Dragon Tongue anymore.
“I really thought we could work together in the future. However, with your recent actions against the Empire, you have truly disappointed me,” Evengeline grabbed the Sea Dragon Empress by her hair, raising her up to look into her eyes that were still unwilling to surrender.
She tossed the body of the Sea Dragon Empress at the fear of the Archbishop. “Imprison her and arrange for a passage back to the Holy City. I will be taking her back with me.”
The Archbishop nodded. He grabbed the
arm of the Sea Dragon Empress who couldn’t fight back under the suppression of the shackles.

The Sea Dragon Empress was taken back to
the Duke’s Palace.
Even as she was under the restriction and
taken back, she didn’t take her eyes off Eren who was sitting atop the roof, waving at her like someone seeing off their lover. The waving hands of Eren changed their motion as he closed all his other fingers, only showing his middle finger to the Sea Dragon Empress, trying to provoke her
even more.
He still remembered how he was almost
killed the last time he had met her. If it wasn’t for his escape, he would have been tortured to death.

While escaping, he had promised her that
the next time they met, the outcome was going to be different. He had also shown her a middle finger while disappearing. Currently, the past was replaying itself. The
only difference was that it wasn’t him who was at the mercy of someone else. Instead,
it was the Sea Dragon Empress. With the Archbishop and Sea Dragon Empress disappearing from his sight, Eren finally jumped off the roof, landing in the
middle of the crater that had been created
during the battle of two fierce women.
“So, did you like the gift I offered you?” Eren asked while reaching out his hand towards the Holy Priestess who was standing outside the crater.
Even though he could jump out of the crater as well, he intentionally reached out to her to take help. He didn’t forget to surround his body with the Sword Emperor’s Aura to keep himself free from
her restriction.
The Holy Priestess looked at his hand, her eyes narrowing. There was still the feeling of disgust in her heart. However, she knew she couldn’t make it obvious.
It was as if she had died multiple times
inside from disgust as she finally reached out her hand to grab Eren’s hand, her lips trembling subconsciously.
She pulled Eren’s hand who didn’t hold
back, taking an extra step to get closer to
her, enjoying watching her be disgusted while being unable to show it.
He was also careful about not pushing her
too far as he didn’t want to be attacked in case she failed to control himself.
“We shall return to the Palace. You can
spend the night here and tomorrow, you will return with me to the Holy City.” “I kindly accept your hospitality.” Eren
nodded in response while raising the woman’s hand, kissing the back of her hand, making her face go pale. She quickly pulled her hand back. It was
only after Eren turned around to leave that she rubbed the back of her hand repeatedly to clean any remnant of that disgusting aura.
‘Disgusting! So disgusting! How dare he
touch me again? How dare he touch me with the disgusting aura of that man!’ In her mind, she kept repeating the same thing as her lips trembled. Eren observed her reaction with his
seventh sense but he didn’t make it evident
that he could see her. He simply left her alone, disappearing into the distance. He soon left the city with no one to stop him from leaving. He was a precious guest of the Holy Empire after all..
