That night, Medea once again sneaked into Aske's bedroom.

She acted like a smug hostess, casually washing her hair in the bathroom, then dried her wet hair with Aske's towel and walked into the bedroom.

Aske was leaning over the desk writing something. Medea peeked from behind, it seemed to be a series of intelligence and deployments regarding the counterattack on Constantinople.

She was a bit jealous because Aske's mind was still occupied with matters of other girls, but the Enchanting Demon lady quickly became happy again.

No matter what, the leader's first time was mine~~~ The second time, also mine...

She sang joyfully in her heart, hugging Aske intimately from behind, her weight pressing on his back of the neck.

"Don't mess around." Aske said flatly.

Such a cold yet (enchanted-brain supplementation) pampering tone made Medea genuinely happy and fulfilled, so she deliberately rubbed against Aske's neck, swaying her head left and right, pretending to look at what he was writing.

After a while, she got a little bored, pulled a chair to sit down beside him, and dragged Aske's left hand over, placing it on her belly.

"Can you feel her heartbeat?" Medea asked with a smile.

"How could I?" Aske replied without looking up.

"I can already feel it." Medea hugged his arm, "Our daughter... will be a very healthy baby."

Aske glanced at her and continued writing, saying:

"After she's born, I suggest letting Nora take a look. I'm worried Agrippina's toxin might affect the child. You should know, men from our world usually abstain from smoking, drinking, and staying up late before their wives conceive, to nurture their bodies."

"What are you worrying about!" Medea couldn't help but laugh, "We're Demigods after all!"

"Precisely because we're Demigods." Aske said.

Medea then fell silent. Indeed, for Demigods with different bloodlines to successfully reproduce, they must suppress their bloodline abilities, resulting in the child being unable to acquire complete genetic information from the parents, and easily dying young.

Of course, regardless of Aske's Eastern Achilles family bloodline or Medea's Enchanting Demon race bloodline, both have an inherent advantage in this regard, but it's only relative to "other Demigods".

Innate physical health is ultimately not as good as ordinary human children.

"I'm not going to find her." Medea pouted stubbornly, "Why should I seek help from a romantic rival? I don't trust her."

"You know she's not that kind of person." Aske said softly.

"I can't be sure." Medea continued, "Even if there's a one in ten thousand chance, I don't want our daughter to take any risks."

"Alright." Aske shook his head, not wanting to argue further, "You should go to bed, staying up is bad for your health."

"Then I want a goodnight kiss." Medea pointed to her lips.

"No kiss, but a slap I can give." Aske rolled up the paper he had finished writing, "Don't you have any idea how our daughter came to be? I haven't settled this account with you yet."

"I acted on impulse and made a big mistake." Medea then put her knees together, placing her hands on her thighs, adopting a submissive pose, head down, she said regretfully, "Please forgive me, my lord husband, punish me as you see fit. Just pity our daughter in my belly, it's sad if she can't see this world and her little soul returns to Purgatory..."

She pretended to wipe her tears, while Aske looked at her speechlessly and sighed:

"Stop playing around, you really should get some sleep."

"So you forgive me?" Medea still kept her head down, her eyes secretly stealing glimpses of his expression.

"Mhm." Aske hummed a sound.

This "mhm" was neither affirmative nor negative, but Medea was satisfied with Aske's attitude, so she stood up and sneaked to the door, using Mind Vision to check if there was anyone outside, and then quietly left.

On the training ground outside the Stovefire Island Manor, the moonlight scattered like light rain on the ground. Eleanor pierced towards the target one last time, leaning on the spear to catch her breath.

Her gaze turned towards the manor, the Will Fog detected that Medea had once again left Aske's room and returned to her own room.

"So it's Medea, huh?" Eleanor was still pondering over what Aske had said before.

The traitor? According to what future Mia mentioned last time, the traitor should be herself, Theodora, and Nora. But from the meaning between the lines from the leader, it seemed more like it's someone from Medea's side, otherwise, Aske wouldn't have said those things to her.

For some reason, Eleanor felt that the "betrayal" Aske and Mia mentioned wasn't the same event.

Sigh.

She used her spear as a pen, silently writing a word on the ground.

Verräterin

The idea of a traitor within the team, someone of Eleanor's past disposition, she couldn't accept. She didn't even want to think about who was most likely to be this mole.

However, by now, she understood that in the world there is no such thing as loyalty without reason. Even for Medea and the others, keeping Aske might be the most crucial thing, even if it meant defying his will and risking team fragmentation.

Just as in the face of foreign invasion, some choose to die for their country, others prioritize self-preservation. Eleanor can't nor is willing to force others to make the same decisions as her, but...

At least I, Eleanor, will abide by my oath, as always!

She swung the long spear formed by her will in a large circle, causing the surrounding dust to fly. Suddenly, a certain realization surged into her mind once more.

Eleanor: ???

Ah! It's a new Will Law Skill!

I've advanced to Lv.19!

The Knight Girl immediately canceled the long spear's summon, excitedly rushing into the manor, ran to Aske's room door, and knocked.

Aske opened the door with a tired face, seeing Eleanor, he nodded and said:

"What a coincidence, I was just about to look for you."

Bringing Eleanor into the room, Aske took out the information he wrote from memory, handed it to her, and said:

"Take a look."

Given the number of Jingluo players domestically, the counterattack on Constantinople in the original game world was, of course, a very important main storyline for the expansion, although Aske had already become a professional player by then, he had a deep impression of this main storyline instance.

Of course, another existing problem is that a hundred thousand players once counterattacked Constantinople, a scale and level sufficient to rival the Church Crusade.

Which means in this world without players, the power of Christ is actually halved compared to the game world.

So whether they could actually defeat the Seljuks and reclaim Constantinople is still an unknown matter.
