Li Aili closed the door to the rest room and turned around to carefully examine Arthur.

The Duke, quite self-aware, spread his arms to allow his wife to examine him.

"You're not injured?" Li Aili walked around behind Arthur.

She was relieved to see that Arthur had no injuries on his back.

“I didn’t fight.” Arthur’s voice was deep.

"What exactly happened? When Joanna woke me up, I thought I was still half asleep," Li Aili asked, hands on her hips.

“Anniana…” Arthur sat on the velvet sofa in the lounge, “is dead.”

"???"

"What?" For a moment, Li Aili wondered if this was some kind of 'trick'.

After all, when Anyana came to see them last time, she clearly had some purpose in mind... but it seems she didn't get what she wanted in the end.

“Her name has disappeared from the Holy Dragon’s ‘family tree’…” Arthur’s voice was low and deep.

Before her brain could process it, Li Aili was already sitting next to Arthur by the time she realized what was happening.

I realized that when you truly care about someone, you can't bring yourself to say certain comforting words.

Li Aili then realized the inadequacy of her language skills.

She couldn't find any words to comfort Arthur, so she could only hug him, "Arthur, Arthur..."

The Duke's pointed chin rested on the top of her head, and he said in a deep voice, "Lily, what do you think of Albert?"

Li Aili found it hard not to connect the two events, "...Could Aniana's death be related to Albert?"

The Duke answered the question with silence.

Li Aili took out a bottle of calming potion from her spatial ring and drank it down.

The intense emotions were suppressed by the effects of the drug, and under the influence of the calming drug, Li Aili's brain began to work at high speed.

Scenes from the past flashed before my eyes, like a movie playing in reverse.

Albert is resurrected.

Having lost her memories of the Holy Dragon, she and Arthur are in a state of 'breaking up'.

The resurrected Gilmanoa finds her and transports her to the Holy Dragon Age a thousand years ago...

A vast amount of memory was mobilized in a short time, and even the lace of the light pink dress she wore at the time, or the pink gemstone necklace she wore, appeared clearly before her eyes.

At that time... at that time, the gods made their last desperate struggle, and the goddess of love took away her 'love'.

That day, Arthur took back her 'love' and returned it to her.

No, that's not how it works!

Aniana and Albert were there too!

That timing was very delicate.

Her 'feelings' were restored, and the fractured relationship between Anyana and Arthur eased somewhat. Therefore, Arthur forced Anyana to reclaim her 'feelings' from Cupid by 'forgiving' her.

And what about Albert?

That day, Aniana was there, and Albert was there too...

In the flashback, the resurrected Albert smiled gently at Aniana and said, "Anniana, come here."

Li Aili: "..."

Memories rewind once more, and images flash before my eyes.

At the banquet table, Aniana was speaking with great interest.

Arthur, the Emperor, and the Empress watched her intently, while Albert focused on the food on his plate.

The scenes kept changing, but without exception, whenever Anyana and Albert were in the same frame, Albert's gaze never fell on Anyana.

At the end of the Holy Dragon Era, Albert even seriously considered the possibility of secretly executing Anyana without regard for the Empress's feelings... but was ultimately stopped by Arthur, who keenly sensed his thoughts.

So... would Albert, after his heroic death and resurrection, unconditionally forgive Aniana?

In fact, he became even gentler towards Anyana after his resurrection.

Is this reasonable?

Of course not.

However, if Albert's purpose was to achieve something through Aniana, then everything makes sense.

Therefore, he killed Anyana because he had now achieved his goal.

After analyzing all this, Li Aili looked at Arthur with concern: "So, did Albert say anything to you?"

He said, "Fate has gone mad, it is plundering the divinity of the gods."

Arthur frowned slightly. "It's not impossible."

Li Aili stood up and paced anxiously back and forth in front of the sofa.

"Perhaps we can ask Panticillin about this."

So, Li Aili sincerely prayed to the newly appointed God of Law.

As a 'strategic partner' of a new god, her prayers were answered swiftly. So swiftly, in fact, that it was enough to give any clergy member serving in the temple a heart attack on the spot.

No, I haven't received any such message.

My friend, to the realm of gods, I am but a 'little sprout'.

After responding to Li Aili, Panticil's voice disappeared from her mind.

Li Ai Li shook her head at Arthur, "Perhaps, I can try using alchemical potions?"

Li Aili rationally analyzed the feasibility.

“If there are alchemical elixirs that can help the Emerald Dragon escape ‘omniscience,’ then why can’t there be alchemical elixirs that involve divination of the words and deeds of gods?” she said, her lake-like eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Then, he went straight to the alchemy room, which had not been used for a long time.

The alchemy hut is open as usual.

It never fell into disrepair because it was neglected by users.

This, in turn, made Li Aili, who had just entered the room, feel a little uneasy.

But soon, Li Aili, who was working on designing the alchemical potion formula, forgot about this slight awkwardness.

Sheets of paper were filled with obscure and difficult formulas, and complex mind maps resembled advanced magic circles created by mages. Each formula was written down and then crossed out...
