Chapter 818 – Day 94 – Siblings Cannot Get Along Well
“What happened to my aunt…?”
It was predictable that Buenos suddenly appeared because she had a sword that could open her portal like a toy.
“How can I stretch my legs and play when my nephew is planning to punish our damn Jupiter in a good way?”
“Ha, do you…”
The princess broke into a cold sweat.
The reason Elaine was alive and well was purely because Emperor Jupiter showed mercy.
“If you’re worried about Jupiter, don’t worry.”
Elaine smiled as she munched on the bright red apple she was holding in her left hand.
“Jupiter, now is not the time to care about me.”
“And for what reason are you saying that?”
“What is the reason? It’s because Jupiter has more than one job to do.”
Elaine shrugged her shoulders.
“At this very moment, he is pouring all of his energy into creating the perfect successor to rule the empire on which the sun never sets forever.”
“How on earth…”
“It’s calculating.”
Elaine tapped him on the head once.
“Well, this story is something you won’t understand even if you die and wake up unless you later have the same eyes as him. Just understand roughly.”
“Roughly speaking, is that still okay?”
“Don’t worry, this aunt guarantees it. For Jupiter, creating the best successor is the top priority, so you and I don’t care anymore.”
Elaine patted her stomach with both hands.
“And one more thing, there is a possibility that you and I could become ‘material needed to create the best successor,’ so we won’t kill you.”
“Isn’t that like a wild animal locked in a cage knowing that no matter how much it howls, it will never get out of the cage?”
“Ding dong deng, that’s the right answer. Jupiter, if that guy is sincere? He’ll cut off all your limbs in an instant, including me and you, and make them into the ingredients needed to make a baby.”
Elaine took a deep breath.
“Shouldn’t we make a clear move on our side before something like that happens?”
“Hmm, then that’s true, but…”
Are you saying that for Emperor Jupiter, who has god-like power, the spark of rebellion he kindled was not a danger after all?
The princess felt strangely nervous, but she couldn’t help but hope that she didn’t know everything.
“Jupiter Holympia. Isn’t it a bit much to think of lighting a spark of rebellion on your own, leaving me, who has been preparing for decades to get revenge on that guy?”
“I just didn’t want to drag Aunt Elaine into my and Abama’s business.”
Looking at the princess speaking her words very carefully, Elaine sighed and shook her head from side to side.
“You are amazing too! Venus. You still call the man who killed you and erased your memories, the scarily merciless emperor who declared to the whole world that you are dead, Abama.”

After a good talk with Scarlett, who of course stayed behind in Buenos, Elaine jumped into her rift.
Hedone and Ceres also came together as if it was natural, and surprisingly, the place they arrived at was ‘Britannia’.
“Thank you for your hard work, mother.”
The first to greet the princess and her party was Elaine’s son, ‘Arthur’.
“Are you…?”
“It’s been a while since I saw you, Crown Princess Venus Holympia.”
“There’s no need to use honorifics like that between us.”
The princess smiled comfortably, but Arthur shook his head and bowed his head calmly.
“Surprisingly, it looks like you made a proper reconciliation with your aunt.”
“It is the nature of Jupiter that has serious problems with communication, not this one.”
Elaine looked at Arthur, gave him a glance, and he nodded.
“As my mother said, I opened the stairs to go down to the basement properly.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Arthur. Without your help, neither my cause nor Venus’ dream could have been achieved.
“No, I just did what I had to do as a knight. I hope you have a good talk with your mother and the Crown Princess.”
Arthur bowed his head once and walked out without further conversation.
“Is it true that there was a proper reconciliation?”
“Arthur is a man capable of leading Britannia. If our Crown Princess keeps her promise, he will become king.”
“I have never forgotten my promise to recognize the Duchy of Britannia as a kingdom, so don’t worry.”
Elaine smiled and nodded and immediately started walking down the stairs to the basement to show Arthur the items he had prepared.
“I too have been thinking about killing Jupiter for a very long time. I never went outside Britannia because I knew there was little chance of success.”
Elaine calmly went down to the basement, passed the hall filled with numerous knights that the princess had seen last time, and took the stairs leading down.
“There’s something this deep…”
“Just think of it as a struggle to avoid Jupiter’s eyes, sweet girl.”
“Yes, yes? Me?”
Hedone was startled and pointed at herself, but Elaine just smiled very seductively.

As we chatted, we arrived at a huge entrance. As soon as she arrived in front of him, without hesitation, Elaine plunged the knife in her hand into the gap in the door.
“This is also from the ancient demons…?”
“As expected, I recognize you as a time traveler. I don’t know. There are stories told by witches by word of mouth.”
Elaine calmly walked into the door that opened while emitting white steam, and the moment everyone in the group entered, the huge door closed as if it was a given.
“What is this place for?”
The princess asked calmly, but she didn’t need to hear Elaine’s answer.
The huge pantheon caught her eye at a glance, and as she looked to her left and right, she immediately realized why she had come here.
“This is the real pantheon. This is my personal guess, but I think the pantheon found elsewhere is merely a copy of the appearance of this place.”
“After seeing the pantheon of ancient demons, people on earth probably also blindly followed suit.”
“Oh… I guess it’s easy to make that guess when you’re a demon?”
Elaine spoke while looking at Ceres, and Ceres smiled calmly and bowed to her.
“Well, I was wondering when you would reveal your identity to Venus.”
“… Huh?”
Upon hearing her unexpected story, the princess opened her eyes wide and pointed to herself and Ceres with her right hand.
“Did Aunt Elaine and Ceres know each other?”
“How can you not know? Ceres has always been there, even when Agrippa gave birth to you and when I was called princess.”
“Well, well, then you knew all of Ceres’ secrets from the beginning?!”
The princess was extremely embarrassed, but Elaine shrugged her shoulders.
“To tell the truth, well…”
“You tried to touch me and got scolded.”
“It’s not a scolding! A scolding!”
Elaine shouted, her face turning strangely red.
“Aunt like…”
“What’s unique about me!”
Elaine screamed and pressed her forehead with her right hand.
“Then why did you not say anything about Ceres?”
“That’s natural.”
Elaine snorted and smiled.
“Because that idiot Jupiter was looking for a traitor in the imperial palace!”
“… Aunt? No way…?”
Hehe!! How can I tolerate that he doesn’t know what I know! Isn’t that right?!”
Hedone and the princess frowned and shook their heads at Elaine’s hideously twisted personality.
“Even after that, if you needed anything, we helped you.”
“Well, it’s a symbiotic relationship. Honestly, thanks to it, I was able to increase my understanding of demons and have a lot of fun with witch hunting.”
“Did you do that even though you knew that Ceres took advantage of your aunt?”
“Venus, our lovely nephew.”
Elaine shrugged her shoulders.
“Originally, siblings are cursed from the moment they are born to kill that bastard. Especially that guy Jupiter…”
You know Elaine, who has had enough of the throbbing phantom pain, right? He turned to look at the princess.
“I understand.”
The story of Elaine’s past was obvious, so rather than listen to her story further, the princess became very serious and walked to the center of the huge pantheon.
“I understand that that seat is Frigg’s seat, and this seat is Udr’s seat.”
“It was probably the seat of ‘Rocky’ that was in Buenos.”
“Loki? Why do you know his name?”
In response to the princess’s question, Elaine smiled and pointed to the pile of papers and books in front of her.
“Why do you think this pantheon exists?”
“S-No way… Is this pantheon a place where the blessings of the old gods were studied?!”
“That’s right. And it looks like the ancient demons used that blessing to create witches…”
Elaine shrugged her shoulders.
“That part was destroyed a long time ago, so now it’s just the role of this huge library. Maybe, just maybe, you know? I’ve never traveled in time like you, and I don’t know how to read the demon language, so I don’t know much about it.”
“Then why did you bring me here…?”
“Ah, that? The Aubert family is working so hard in the social world that I heard that you go around collecting the remains of the gods.”
At Elaine’s smiling words, the princess very carefully approached the pile of books in front of her.
“Having even faint knowledge is of different value than receiving God’s blessing without knowing anything…”
The princess, who almost became a primitive person without knowing that the hammer she was holding in her hand was actually a tool for driving nails, was able to gain yet another piece of knowledge and wisdom.
