Chapter 209: We must put an end to all this ill-fated match...
Narrator POV
Kragen had barely settled in when Lilith, the moon goddess’s messenger walked up to him. She was leaning at the corner of his abode, hands crossed across her chest, with her leg propped behind her.
"I thought you were going to remain there forever. I had a feeling that you would but Mother asked me to come check on you anyways and that as soon as you’re back, I should bring you back with me. So c’mon, let’s go,".
"I’ve had a very long and busy day today, please tell her I’m too tired for another of those long meetings," Kragen said over his shoulders as he walked into his abode, ignoring his assistant who was standing at one side, waiting to be summoned by him.
"You don’t have a choice, Kragen, Mother didn’t ask me to beg you to come with me, she asked me to tell you to come with me immediately. Besides, aren’t you worried that since you’re not in the holding cell already, something might have happened? You broke a lot of rules today, you know,".
"You’re not telling me something I don’t already know, Lilith. Now, if you have nothing important, could you please excuse me? I need to rest," he said out loud before proceeding to his bedroom.
"Master," his assistant chased after him "There’s a lot of things for you to approve and supervise, pressing issues I dare say that we’ve been putting off. Please could you...".
"Tomorrow," Kragen murmured hiding a yawn at the back of his hands "Let the people live to die another day, okay. Tomorrow, I’ll attend to all the matters,".
With that, he plunged into his bed, closing his eyes immediately. Lilith hovered behind him for a while, contemplating what to do next. Knowing the kind of person, Kragen was, she didn’t need to priestess to tell her that Kragen was furious. Usually, he wasn’t the kind of god to show off his anger but she could tell by his small mannerisms.
