The farce triggered by Cleia finally concluded with Cleia prostrating herself.
Although Lynn truly had high enough status, he still felt awkward seeing a beauty like Cleia kneel and bow to him.
This isn’t a bedroom situation; there’s no need for kneeling or bowing, and certainly not this kind of bowing.
Having Catherine and Sifrin help Cleia up, Lynn promptly invited them to leave.
This was his family banquet, and Sifrin and Cleia weren’t related to him, so he didn’t invite them to stay for dinner. Besides, they had business to attend to and shouldn’t be delayed.
But having finally seen a living Divine Awarded dal, Cleia was reluctant to leave and wanted to admire the Light God’s glory a bit more, as even 99% of the clergy from the Light Church Court would never see such a Divine Artifact in their lifeti.
"Big Sister, don’t be like this. We’ll be staying in Celestial Destiny City for quite a few days. You can visit Lynn when he has ti..."
While talking, Sifrin forcibly dragged the very unwilling Cleia away. Luckily, she wasn’t just any Divine Mage but a strong... um, a gifted Saintess of Light, or else she might not have been able to hold onto Cleia if she resisted.
Of course, no matter what, Cleia is still a leader and wouldn’t transform into a sycophant over a dal; she still maintained so dignity. However, her eager gaze didn’t match her usual icy deanor.
"Divine Envoy, let’s add each other on the Communication Stone!"
As she was being dragged out the door, Cleia suddenly rembered sothing important and quickly took out her Communication Stone to connect with Lynn.
When a beautiful woman actively wants to connect, Lynn of course wouldn’t refuse. Although he wasn’t overly familiar with Cleia before, they had worked together several tis, so there was so camaraderie.
"And , and !"
Seeing Lynn taking out his Communication Stone, Sifrin quickly grabbed hers too, ready to connect, but Lynn skillfully dodged her.
"There’s no need for you; if you need anything, just have Cleia call ."
Although Sifrin was sowhat of a beauty, Lynn didn’t want to add her as a Communication Stone friend. He felt that having Sifrin mixed among his list of beautiful friends would tarnish his Communication Stone.
"Oh co on, don’t be so stingy. I won’t send you harassing ssages!"
Sifrin said persistently, holding her Communication Stone trying to chase Lynn’s hand, but with Lynn’s skill, not even Sifrin’s father could manage to connect with him.
Moreover, given Sifrin’s nature, she’d certainly send harassing ssages in the dead of night. It was well known that Sifrin’s words couldn’t be trusted, and anyone gullible enough to believe her would deserve to be misled.
"Ding! You have added friend ’Lynn.’"
"Ding! You have added friend ’Little Xiya.’"
During Sifrin’s pursuit, Lynn deftly added Cleia as a friend, though he hadn’t expected the cold Chief Judge Cleia to give herself such a nickna.
Cleia herself seed to realize this just after adding him, blushing, but quickly regained her composure, as she was used to keeping a cool deanor.
"Once I’ve finished my current tasks, I will definitely pay you a visit."
Cleia held her Communication Stone tightly, as if holding onto her future, unwilling to put it back in her spatial bracelet.
"Off you go, do sothing outstanding for Helena on my behalf."
Lynn waved his hand, showing no reluctance. After all, Catherine was watching closely, and he had to put on an act.
After Sifrin and Cleia reluctantly left, Lynn straightforwardly requested a new room, as the previous door had been smashed by Sifrin’s kick and was irreparable.
In the spirit of thriftiness, they didn’t order new dishes, just moved the existing ones over.
While the waitstaff were busy, Catherine especially approached Lynn, circling him with interest, observing him as if admiring a rare piece of art.
"Although I’ve heard about your identity from Xiya before, it seems each ti you cause a stir, you renew my understanding of you."
Earlier when Cleia was acting frivolously before Lynn, Catherine, knowing Lynn’s identity and Cleia’s professionalism, and having good relations with both parties, chose to spectate silently.
Now with the troublemakers gone, Catherine, like a curious kitten, leaned on the table and carefully observed Lynn.
The Miracle Saint Emperor indeed, such a grand title, yet lacking imperial majesty, seed easier to approach.
Yes, quite approachable indeed, after all, they’ve t a few tis, and he casually calls won ’wife.’ Such a person, any woman should easily get close to him, just like Cleia earlier...
Sifrin might be an exception since she knows her well. This person, while wrapped in the skin of a pretty girl, is essentially a lively husky. Even if Lynn were infatuated, he’d still distinguish between people and animals.
"There are still many things you don’t know about. Want to marry to discover more?"
Lynn tilted his head, looking at Catherine who was watching him, and earnestly invited her.
"Want to understand, but don’t want to marry."
Catherine responded decisively, without a mont’s hesitation.
"Why resist? It’s inevitable, sooner or later."
Lynn persisted relentlessly.
"Perhaps, if ever I truly wish to marry, you’d certainly be the first candidate, possibly the only one."
Catherine said, tilting her head back, her hand leaving the table, swaying as she returned to her seat.
She had never considered marriage or romance; otherwise, with her beauty and background, what kind of man couldn’t she find?
Remaining single till now was purely her choice, not wanting to fall in love or marry, even after eting Lynn... she maintained these thoughts. Otherwise, considering Lynn’s qualities, any other woman would have already thrown herself at him.
"I’ll wait for the day you change your mind."
Lynn turned his head back, eting Catherine’s beautiful eyes, and sincerely said.
"Thank you."
Catherine politely responded. She was truly grateful to Lynn, not only for his lifesaving curse-breaking but also for never forcing her or using his power against her.
He had unmatched power and supre status on the continent, yet remained considerate, only verbally calling her wife without ever truly taking advantage.
If the day ever cos when she changes her mind, this man... not bad.
