Chapter 532: When the Gods don’t do their work, ask the semi-deity
"Really?" Natha, for some reason, held me tightly as he faced D’Ara. "You truly did it? It’s not a...temporary thing or just..."
He couldn’t even finish his words. His heart, which I could feel on my back, was beating so hard.
He was nervous; almost as nervous as our wedding day. He must have been suppressing his expectations since earlier, and he became so scared of it being squashed. I held his hands tightly, feeling their increasing cold as we stared at D’Ara waiting for an answer.
"Do you think I’ll play about this kind of thing?" D’Ara replied sharply, sitting herself in an armchair and crossing her arms. "Now get me someone who can. make that...transfusion bag thing you told me about."
Natha and I immediately turned toward Zia, who flinched and looked at us in confusion. "Zia, fetch your boyfriend."
The succubus replied in flusters. "W-who’s my--"
"Just fetch him!" Natha snapped in a low tone, definitely scary enough for Zia to scramble to the door and run to the research tower.
As we waited for them, the servants were also scrambling to fetch the wine, cookies, cakes, and chocolates we specially prepared for D’Ara. It was placed in a special cupboard and not even Jade could beg us to open it.
A good decision to serve it, since D’Ara looked like she had been awake for days doing Gods’ work. She gulped the wine like it was water, and donned a bottle of it before Zia even came back.
Well...I guessed she was truly pulling out a solution that not even Mother could give me, so...
It was a good thing that a bottle of wine was really like a bottle of water for someone who had been drinking for thousands of years.
