The negotiation went smoothly.

After everything was laid out, the war couldn't be fought anymore.

"So..." Eleanor rubbed her temples, unable to accept the cruel reality, "How did it come to this?"

I fought tooth and nail outside, only for my husband to be snuck up on at home? And my own sister turned out to be the inside agent?

"Aunt Ellie!" Seeing that the relationship between Eleanor and Medea and Sigrdrifa was still tense, little Lilith sweetly smiled and ran over, opening her arms to the Knight Girl, "Hug hug."

"Eh, hug hug." Eleanor was also very fond of the girl who looked like a little porcelain doll, instinctively picking her up.

Medea: ???

Sigrdrifa: !!!

"But, actually, you should call me Mommy." Eleanor pressed down her inner annoyance, smiling as she gently scraped little Lilith's soft nose, "I'm your dad's wife, you know. Come on, call me Mommy? Mom~my~"

Over here, Sigrdrifa had already lifted her axe wanting to chop someone, but luckily Medea managed to hold her from behind, preventing a tragedy from occurring on the spot.

Then they heard little Lilith crisply shout:

"Aunt Ellie!"

"Not Aunt, it's Mommy." Eleanor patiently corrected her.

"Aunt!"

"Haha, adopting a daughter right in front of her mother, Ellie, your skin is growing thicker these days, huh?" Medea mocked with her arms crossed.

"Is she your biological daughter?" Eleanor feigned surprise.

Medea: ..........

Medea too had conjured flames wanting to blow someone up, but fortunately Sigrdrifa yanked her arm from the side, preventing the hard-earned peace from slipping away again.

"Hey, just let it go! Medea, let it go!" She generously advised.

"Anyway." Eleanor put little Lilith down to avoid further irritating Medea, "I need to take back Aske. Before that, we have no reason for further conflict."

"Exactly." Medea said.

Little Lilith ran to Sigrdrifa's side, once again opening her arms, so Sigrdrifa picked her up as well:

"Call me Little Mom, quickly!"

"Aunt!"

"But I can't directly clash with the Church Court." Eleanor frowned and said, "Divine Luo isn't a country that I directly control. Even if I forcefully command the Empire Knight Order to go south, it would likely face internal disputes and turmoil first."

"That's your issue." Medea coldly said, "The Helensing Empire is too far from Italy, and the Frank Lords of Divine Luo presumably wouldn't agree to Northern Horn troops passing through their territory, so us sending troops is impossible."

"All the support we can offer is probably just the fighting prowess of Sigrdrifa and myself. Right, Sigrdrifa?"

Medea turned to her companion, but Sigrdrifa seemed completely oblivious, lifting little Lilith by her armpits:

"Up in the air! Oh? Call me Mom Sigrdrifa!"

"Aunt Sigrdrifa!" Little Lilith sweetly smiled.

"Enough already, you two!" Medea couldn't take it anymore and snatched her daughter out of Sigrdrifa's hands, "Anyway, all we can do is maintain border peace and privately go with you."

The so-called "go with you" was really just teaming up to bully Nora. As long as Nora agreed to release the individuals, they would immediately break the alliance agreement.

Eleanor understood the implication, sighed, and said:

"As I explained before, facing the Church Court, it's not suitable to deploy the Empire Knight Order; we can only apply diplomatic pressure at most."

"However, if Helensing can unite with Divine Luo to voice against them, it would greatly increase the deterrence against the Church Court. After all, she isn't in a highly centralized dictatorial position there; we can exert influence through the Cardinal Council."

"On a diplomatic statement level, we have no problem." Medea turned again, "Right, Sigrdrifa?"

Sigrdrifa was making faces at little Lilith, and a furious Medea pulled her over:

"Sigrdrifa!"

"Hmm, uh-huh, that's right." Sigrdrifa earnestly said, "Medea's words are my words."

"You weren't listening at all just now, were you!" Medea roared.

................

Switching perspective back to Flower Square in Solomon City.

Aske, following Nora, visited every major department store, perhaps due to the long-awaited reunion with a loved one, the Holy Daughter's shopping desire was fully ignited.

Half an hour after the shopping spree began, the news already spread through hidden underground channels to every store in Flower Square... It's like once you give your phone number to the neighborhood property management, you'll receive non-stop calls from other real estate offices for months. Likewise, Aske had reason to suspect these sales managers in the business complexes had a similar internal communication group.

In short, wherever they went, each store had a prepared star guide rush to greet them, skillfully recommending the latest dresses, shoes, and bags to Nora.

Nora's response was simple: swipe the card.

"Hey, we don't need to buy that much, do we?" Aske couldn't help but ask Nora, seeing the guide packing a large pile of clothes, ready to ship them to the Lysine Building.

"Why?" Nora asked puzzled, "I haven't bought new clothes in ages."

"How long is ages?"

"Since I was declared a saint by the Church Court," Nora answered.

Became the Holy Daughter? That was six years ago… So Aske sheepishly shut his mouth.

So, ever since becoming the Holy Daughter, you've been wearing that Holy Maiden Robe every day? You could go out for clothes shopping during your leisure time, oh, no one to accompany you? Thinking like this, it vaguely made him feel guilty.

"Because no one was there to see if I changed into new clothes." Nora said, smiling and hugging his arm, interrupting Aske's thoughts.

Oh, Nora seems to have grown up… Indeed, it's time to change to larger clothes.

After buying clothes, the two dined at an upscale restaurant nearby.

By the end of the meal, somehow they started a drinking contest, without cheating by using demigod body conceptualization abilities. Thus, when they finally exited, Aske was just slightly tipsy, while Nora was somewhat dizzy.

After all, her physical strength wasn't quite up there.

Supporting Nora down the stairs, Aske hailed a taxi, helping her into the back seat.

The synthetic human driver in the front silently turned on the car's radio, which was broadcasting a legal case warning that "picking up someone in a bar and having relations is illegal."

Aske: ???

"She's my girlfriend." Aske explained to the driver.

"No need to explain, sir." The driver replied with a mechanical electronic voice, "I'm just a synthetic human."

Then why play the "constant vigilance program"?!

He shut the door, and the car headed towards the Lysine Building.

Nora, sitting beside Aske, gradually leaned over, resting on Aske's shoulder. Her flaxen hair exuded the fragrance of shampoo, mixed with the rich scent of alcohol, carrying a beguiling allure.

Aske tried to set her upright, but Nora clung to his arm, insisting on sleeping against his shoulder.

"Aske..." she murmured softly, her voice barely audible like a dream talk.

"What is it?" Aske turned his head to ask.

"...Big meanie."

Oh, she was sleep-talking.
