Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 996 275: Love and the Fickle Divine Favored—Kael's Possessiveness

"Helois Monarch, we both know what each side truly desires. The creation of a calendar will inevitably encounter some obstacle.

No matter how well-prepared, it could never be entirely smooth; especially now, your Yibel Federation lacks a truly solid backing...

Your actions will only be a farce, slightly pleasing the high deities without any real use. Even so, do you still decide to take action?"

"Who knows?"

"I came this time to give you a piece of advice. The Divine Briania and that esteemed personage have been very patient over the years, but there is a limit to endurance... I can roughly guess that perhaps you've thought of some brilliant strategy, thinking you can break the impasse.

But to be honest, it's not possible. There is a massive chasm between the two sides that you'll never be able to cross in your lifetime."

As he spoke, the gaze of the Divine Favored of Love and Change suddenly turned to the expressionless Bartlett at the side, as if silently telling Bartlett not to attempt to join this battle.

However, Luxius took a slight step forward, blocking before the Bartlet Monarch, revealing a cold smile identical to that of the Divine Favored of Love and Change, and said:

"That won't be necessary for you to worry about. Everyone must be responsible for their choices, and we've been mentally prepared for this from a long time ago."

The Divine Favored of Love and Change chuckled, showing a competitive yet pleased smile, and said: "Then we needn't strain ourselves to maintain the balance, as for you, Helois Monarch..."

The Divine Favored of Love and Change turned around, preparing to leave with two chosen ones. As they were about to leave, he glanced at the two frowning Magic Monarchs at the back, and with a smile, said:

"Prepare to face judgment!"

And then he didn't linger any longer and left grandiosely.

...

With the departure of the party from the Church of Love and Change, some faces showed signs of sorrow, others breathed a sigh of relief as if they were relaxed, while some expressions became more resolute as if they had finally made a significant decision.

But none of this hindered the party from becoming increasingly lively.

In fact, although initially, the tense atmosphere caused a temporary lull, once certain people left, it quickly became somewhat more lively.

Because the sudden arrivals disrupted Kael's plans yet again, making his subsequent work more hectic.

As the guests whiled away their time at the party, it wasn't long before the orchestra began to move gradually, signaling to everyone that it was time for the final dance.

Some who already had partners exchanged smiles and began to gather at the center of the dance floor.

Accompanied by the orchestra's play, the scene dimmed slightly. Spotlights danced across the venue, and mirror ball reflections cascaded through the surrounding space.

The flickering lights, like a carousel, changed continually with the music, gradually pushing everything toward the final conclusion.

As the music of the ball slowly came to a halt, the world seemed to momentarily return to silence, leaving only the leisurely sound of footsteps echoing.

"Are you afraid?"

In sway, as he danced with Elanna, at the moment the music stopped, Kael pulled her into a shadowed corner untouched by the spotlight.

He opened his mouth lightly, looking at Elanna with clear and pure eyes.

"Are you afraid to stand by my side?"

Because of Kael's previous actions, the somewhat dazed Elanna seemed not completely awake even now.

But she understood what Kael meant.

Just like when the church representatives confronted Kael and his group and spoke many words, it was now clear that Kael had drawn the attention of very dangerous people.

"Asking that question now, Kael, you're too cunning..."

Elanna looked at their interlocked fingers, the prior vague struggles and entanglements seemingly brushed aside by his slender fingers.

"What is there to fear?"

As she uttered this sentence, the lights in the hall came on.

By this time, the venue, due to the dance, had entered its most lively phase. In fact, everyone had been curious and puzzled when they noticed Kael leading a young lady onto the dance floor.

But Kael, as if unconcerned, led Elanna by the hand up to the platform, standing before the microphone.

"Hello everyone, I apologize for the interruption. Hmm... on this special occasion, I want to share someone very important to me with all of you."

Kael's voice was firm and serious, his tender words at this moment turned into a resolute vow.

"She let me realize that I can choose to endure and wait for others, even though many times I thought I wasn't good at it.

She made me discover much I had never known about myself and quietly stayed by my side, walking with me to this day."

Elanna turned her head to look at Kael, at this moment the twinkling stars outside the window silhouetted against him, as if with everyone's gaze and the twinkling blessings.

Perhaps, she had imagined this scene countless times.

Her emotional dullness was like a house with doors and windows tightly shut, though the exchanges of love lingered back and forth at the front, she also heard it, but she always thought those were footsteps passing by, footsteps that might leave her far away at any moment.
