"The Matriarch's sculpture is the core of the city, with the circles extending outwards from it. In the business district are H0LP and Imagia's Cabin, which are pretty good. Once you've settled down, We can accompany you on a stroll." Aegnis was evidently extremely excited as she brought Freya to a region with majestic mansions around.
"This region belongs to us Stewarts. I've arranged for Belinda to stay in a villa near me before. And for sister Freya I have picked a villa just close to us."
Aegnis and Thomas then lead the trio to a booked room at the Spiral Serpent Restaurant to enjoy a feast. These two pure blood siblings were evidently very good in front of the sisters and treated Freya nicely.
Soon Aegnis had to leave because of her duty and looking at her leaving with a tensed frown, Freya's lips quirked up in a mysterious smile.
Then Thomas took the lead to lead them and keep them company, Belinda and Sophie held no distaste for him and cheerfully chatted and joked around with him, Freya also responded very nicely and cordially as they finally finished their meal until they reached a gorgeous villa.
The entire villa lit up there with a snap of Thomas fingers, warm light flooding every corner with a beep sounding.
Motes of multicolour light flew out into the little garden like fireflies, like little stars as they appeared before Sophie's hands.
[A/N: There are places where Belinda sister name is either Sophie or Sophia so I am sorry for the confusion and I would be using Sophie from now on. I am not good with names originally, Glenn became Grenn, Lacey became Lancy, Filthbird to Featherbird so, it's kinda my bad habit to mix up names. And there are times when WMW changes it's character name from, Scarlett Eye to Sky Monarch and even Sophie so, it adds to confusion on my part. Hope you understand and oddly enough till now no one noticed or didn't bother to point out, honestly how many of names mixup did you notice?]
"The lights are voice controlled, and dust removal spells activate at specific timings everyday. There's another spell formation here that can set the temperature. And every piece of furniture here was prepared specially by us. Since she didn't know your preferences, she's prepared for it and allowed you to choose things like your servants…" Thomas smiled warmly.
In the meanwhile, Belinda and Sophie were very satisfied with this villa Stewart's prepared for Freya. They have villas almost similar to her and for Freya to gain something like this made Belinda very happy and content, for her sworn sister she was more then happy to help.
"Most importantly, sister's, Belinda and Sophia place is nearby. It's easy to contact them." Thomas smiled as he handed the keys over to Freya.
"Thank you very much Lord Thomas and please extend my heart felt gratitude to Lady Aegnis, you too Belinda I can't explain how much this means to me." Freya gave a noble like bow to Thomas taking the keys while profusely thanking everyone, with her sweet voice and extremely cute appearance the room light up with her smile.
"Don't mention it, It was all thanks to Aegnis and Thomas I am more than happy to help you." Belinda shook her hand grabbing Freya shoulder and looking at her with a sweet smile of her own.
They then engaged in small talk, as Thomas boasted the might of his family as well as their ability in Holy City while Belinda and Sophia talked to Freya for hours regarding her journey, soon the trio left as they gave the room to Freya to rest.
'Although the neighbors are a bit too bothersome but, it's still not bad!' After scanning the room, Freya nodded lightly.
The place was a not too big but more than enough for couple of people to live lavishly, it had high quality furniture, and was covered in a great equipment, it would fetch a sky-high rent in the holy city, where an inch of land was worth as much in gold. But since she could live here for free, she was obviously very happy.
What made her feel even more satisfied was that this place was the Stewart family's property, and Thomas had even specially registered it for her. With Thomas vouching for her and Aegnis as the backer, even if the entire city was thoroughly searched in the future, this place would be as steady as a rock.
Freya had her own reasons for her polite bootlicking actions today. They were only performed after careful deliberation and very much resolve. The holy city would be entering troubled times, and without a strong patron a simple search would be very troublesome. Why else would she live here?
Although Freya couldn't be considered weak, in the Purgatory World, and especially this holy city, she was as frail as someone who would die to light being shone on them!
Indeed, she could reveal her strength and ruthlessly strike Thomas down who had ulterior motives. But then what? That would be followed by Aegnis, then the Stewart family's position in the top ranks. She could move the entire holy city! All for a single moment, it would be an incomparably glorious scene.
That is, until her origins aroused suspicion. Then, with one glance the Snake Dowager would know immediately that Freya was the one she was looking for, and she would've delivered herself to her on a plate. Then not only her but also Leylin truly would have lost everything.
Freya obviously had good feelings for Sophie and Belinda, but at the end of the day they were simply companions she had made to fulfill her goals. Belinda had a very good impression of her, and would do a lot for her.
But with the Allsnake Curse on her body, and at a time where she was slowly inching towards death, worrying about trivial matters like friendly affection was just foolish.
Although she knew that Thomas had bad intentions especially for Sophie but Freya can only keep mum however, Thomas couldn't tell that his greatest enemy in getting Belinda and Sophie is none other his sister Aegnis! Freya stroked her white strands of hairs thoughtfully, with a trace of a sneer on her face.
With Aegnis at the sisters' side glaring covetously like a tiger watching its prey, Thomas' plan could be declared a successful failure before it even began. And of course, once she successfully complete Leylin plans she would naturally make Thomas pay the price for today's insults. To dare covet her, this is simply unforgivable!
Freya immediately proceeded to shut the door. This two storey apartment building with a courtyard and multiple facilities villa met her expectations very well.
After seeing a lavish bedroom, Freya face blossomed into a smile.
'Not bad. It really is decent and worth being Stewart family property! All that's left wanting is for nobody to come and bother me. Unfortunately, that is impossible…' Freya sighed, looking at the palm of her hand.
Blue-green veins were revealed under the light, and she could still faintly feel his life force ebbing. Her body even looked a little weak.
'Belinda and Sophie would most definitely come to meet me on a daily basis, which isn't much of a hassle but with her there would be that annoying brat tagging along too, it would be better to side with Aegnis for now with Belinda in the side she wouldn't pounce at us head on but that's the trouble for later, currently this curse....' Freya laughed bitterly, 'A.I. Chip!'
[Beep! Calculating data on host's life force... Analysis completed! The Allsnake Curse's corrosive ability has been amplified in the holy city. New estimated time: Five years and nine months!]
"Even if Leylin reinforced a seal on my bloodline and soul before the curse was activated, this life drain is still unavoidable… It really is too difficult to break through the shackles…" There was a trace of a sigh in Freya expression. No matter how carefully Leylin prepared Freya even after the breakthrough she was weaker then Leylin at Rank 5, and even if he was a Breaking Dawn using a superior sealing techniques the situation pretty much stayed the same which not really strange since Freya breakthrough in Purgatory World where Snake Dowager power resided which made her prone to more danger and higher radiation speeding up the curse speed.
Although Freya prepared, the effect of a single seal from the Snake Dowager could instantly put her back in square one.
This was the result of an absolute gap in strength. Even with his deliberate and thorough planning there was still some mishaps, Leylin himself always liked to bully the weak, and what he hated most was a situation where he was forced to challenge those who were much stronger than him.
Every single mistake here would endanger Freya life which isn't a situation Leylin wanted to see hence, the plan was moved ahead of schedule even before Freya reached Peak Radiant Moon.
Those thrillseekers who liked giving themselves heart attacks instead of safely profiting from a situation were all lunatics!
'Nearly Six years are more than enough time for me, If everything goes to estimation the final plan would start in next 3 year which would mean I wouldn't be weakened by a huge margin, I can definitely hold on for these three years without any damage to my prowess! Although I am weaker than desired level but I can utilize full potential of my body.' Freya lightly coughed, and excited her room to look around the apartment building.
After spending half a day, Freya had inspected almost every corner of this extraordinary and beautiful apartment building, and had even secretly replaced all the defences with her own.
She obviously couldn't trust this kind of property that belonged to a family, there could be monitoring and probing equipment inside. With the A.I. Chip's atomic-level scanning and Freya's own sight of spell formations, the few devices that had been set up couldn't escape her.
Naturally, She did not choose to dismantle them immediately, which would cause her to completely fall out with the Stewart family. Instead, she prepared a layer of seals apart from the monitoring devices, to make the family feel that this place was still in their grasp.
In reality, not a single trace of Freya's actions would be leaked out to them. Once night fell, the fence surrounding the courtyard was covered with a layer of colorless runes which slowly vanished from sight.
"That much alterations should be enough to make sure no one intrudes without my knowledge!" Freya muttered to herself, arriving at a completely sealed room closing all the windows.
The fragrant new furniture emitted a pleasant odour, and there was not even a speck of dust on the floor. The entire room looked extremely extravagant.
She immediately prepared a sacrificial spell formation, with a rune depicting a giant bird in the middle. Traces of grey power flowed above it continuously, making the rune of the giant bird seem as if it had spread its wings to fly.
"Almighty Ruler of Chaos! The Wings of the Storm! Free will from another dimension! Your majesty, the Nefarious Filthbird! Your Sacrificer requests that you give me your attention!"
A wave of intent burst forth from Freya's body, containing the power of a Half Moon truesoul. It instantly linked up with someone through the spell formation.
"Kemoyin Empress! You have actually already entered the holy city! Good! Very good! Excellent!" Excitement could be felt from the Nefarious Filthbird, although it didn't have a body to descend to. After all, they were in the Snake Dowager's back garden, and they were under strict surveillance.
In reality, were She discovered to be making a Sacrifice to the Nefarious Filthbird, leave alone herself even Aegnis would be hunted down and killed immediately and Stewart family would face huge repercussions even extinction if Snake Dowager is in a foul mood, which she most definitely would be.
This was the Hail Continent's holy city! Only one dignitary could ever rule it, and that was the Snake Dowager. Even an ally like the Trial's Eye couldn't spread its influence here, let alone the Nefarious Filthbird.
Consequently, seeing that Freya, his fastest rising Sacrificer had unexpectedly infiltrated the enemy's frontlines without a hitch, the Nefarious Filthbird's excited mood was understandable.
"Almighty dignitary, I appeal for you to bestow your chaos power, and conceal all the affairs in this apartment building so that I can escape from the gaze of the Snake Dowager!" Freya sincerely prayed, but she did not offer any sacrifices. Over the years she have prepared countless offerings and not so long ago used a considerable sum to steadily climb the ranks of Sacrificer gaining favor from Nefarious Filthbird who was notorious as well as very capable in hiding.
"Of course! It will be your reward for bringing the power of chaos into the Holy City! If you are willing to sincerely offer sacrifices to me, in the future you will definitely become my helping hand, a rank 6 Sacrificer!"
A gentle chirp could be heard, and shortly after a grey circle began to rise up from the floors and walls, rapidly covering the entire apartment building. Everything was done in the dark and in secret, without emitting any strange undulations or radiance.
Watching the spell formation's radiance dim, a strange expression flickered within Freya's eyes. Although she had not offered any sacrifices this time, the Nefarious Filthbird still magnanimously assisted her in concealing herself, and had even bestowed a great amount of power. This was obviously not just out of kindness.
The Nefarious Filthbird seemed to not have given up on the plan of using his chaos power to thoroughly contaminate Freya, and for her to finally become its underling. However, they were both currently reluctantly united due to their common enemy, the Snake Dowager. If a difference in opinion occurred in the future, they would very possibly become enemies instead.
"Nefarious Filthbird is very happy with my infiltration!" Freya laughed coldly thinking of various instances when this dignitary wanted to corrupt her into being his minion, and most definitely without Leylin warning and prior arrangements she would have fall for his tricks, "Unfortunately the bird is destined to stand on the opposite side of Leylin and Nefarious Filthbird's plans are destined to be all for naught!"
