In the restaurant, Ayesha, who was sitting on a chair, tensed up instantly after hearing the question asked by Eros.
Because of this question, she didn't know how to answer.
From her perspective, Eros didn't know that she was a pagan. If she told the truth, wouldn't she be exposed in a minute?
But if I don't tell the truth, how can I explain why I am here?
To be honest, she was actually a little afraid that Eros would know her identity as a pagan.
Eros is an heir to the elven bloodline of noble status who is specially cared for by the church, but he himself is a pagan who can only hide in the dark and live in darkness.
She was afraid that after Eros knew her true identity, he would hate her and distance himself from her.
She didn't want to see this happen.
He...she kissed...kissed herself, so he cannot not be responsible.
But how can I explain myself if I don’t tell the truth?
Just as she was struggling, Eros seemed to see her dilemma and asked:
"Have you also accepted the mission assigned by the church?"
"Ah? Mission?" Ayesha let out a small "ah".
"Yes, it's the mission assigned by the church to hunt down pirates."
"It was only after I accepted this mission that I was sent to the Dark Sea."
"Isn't that the case with you?"
Eros casually set up a spiritual wall beside him to block out the sound, then looked at Ayesha with a puzzled look and said.
"Ah... yeah! I also accepted the mission to hunt pirates."
Seeing that Eros had taken the initiative to find an excuse for himself, Ayesha quickly followed up.
Eros smiled, and said with all his true intentions:
"So how many people are there in your team?"
After finding that Eros did not doubt her words, Ayesha was obviously much more relaxed and immediately replied:
"There are four of us, me, my mother, and two other uncles."
There is nothing to hide about this, since Eros thinks they are from the church anyway.
Eros showed a hint of surprise on his face: "Only four? Didn't the church arrange other people to assist you?"
"It's not that close from Croatia to the Golden City. It must be very hard for the four of you to get all the way to the Golden City."
Ayesha showed a hint of embarrassment on her little face:
"No, actually, a strong man from the church brought us to the Dark Sea."
After hearing the word "strong man of the church", Eros's expression froze, but he soon relaxed and asked with a smile:
"Since he is a strong man from the church, I must go and visit him. Is he still in the city now?"
Based on Eros's understanding of Ayesha, Ayesha would definitely reject his request for a visit.
Sure enough, after he said this, Ayesha said apologetically:
"That strong person separated from us some time ago, and I don't know exactly where she is now."
Eros glanced at Ayesha's expression inconspicuously, and when he saw that Ayesha didn't seem to be lying, he had an epiphany in his heart.
In other words, the powerful man from the Moon Worship Cult who brought Ayesha and others to the Dark Sea is not with Ayesha and others now?
That's good. If that strong man is not here, then he doesn't need to worry about that strong man noticing him.
With the strength of Ayesha and the other four, he could suppress them with one hand.
As long as that strong man was not around, he really didn't have to worry too much about them posing a threat to him.
What's more, based on his understanding of Ayesha, Ayesha would not hurt him.
After figuring this out, Eros heaved a sigh of relief, but a look of regret still appeared on his face:
"No, that's a pity. If you run into her again someday, remember to say hello to her for me."
Aisha felt more and more guilty, but since Eros said so, she could only pretend to be calm and agree.
At the same time, she kept repeating in her mind, "I really didn't mean to lie to you."
While they were talking, the restaurant waiters brought dishes over on trays.
Looking at these dishes, Ayesha thought of her mother.
He had left her behind and came alone to have lunch with Eros, which made her feel a little guilty for a moment.
But when she saw Eros skillfully cut the food in front of him with a knife and fork and gently put it on the plate in front of her, the guilt in her heart disappeared at once.
Mom is such a grown-up, she shouldn’t starve herself. If she is hungry, she will probably find food for herself.
Thinking of this, Aisha picked up the food in front of her with a fork and put it into her mouth to chew.
Try to make your movements as beautiful as possible and try not to appear vulgar.
So, Natalia, who came all the way from the tallest building in the Mechanical City, saw this scene.
In a corner of the restaurant, a handsome man and a beautiful woman were sitting there having lunch.
The man fed the woman gently. The girl's face was flushed and she looked a little shy, but more of it was sweet.
The two of them were talking while dining, but she couldn't hear what they were saying because of the spiritual wall that blocked the sound.
It is foreseeable that the topic should be some very warm, otherwise her daughter would not have shown such a strange smile to her.
Yes, strange.
Is that woman who eats with graceful movements and a reserved smile really his daughter?
I'm afraid he's being controlled by someone?
Natalia turned her eyes away from her daughter and looked at the handsome man next to her.
But when she saw the man's appearance clearly, her pupils shrank suddenly.
Ayesha, who was having her meal normally, noticed someone was looking at her, so she turned her head to look.
When she saw Natalia standing at the door staring at this side blankly, her whole body suddenly stiffened, and then she immediately stood up from the chair.
Because Eros's attention had been on Ayesha, he did not notice that Natalia's soul mark had run to his side.
After seeing Natalia, Eros was a little embarrassed at first.
After all, he was having lunch with her daughter secretly behind her back and was caught red-handed.
But after a moment of embarrassment, he suddenly realized that Natalia didn't know that the remnant of the dark night was him, Eros.
Why should I be so nervous? Oh, it seems that I should be nervous. After all, I am meeting the parents, so it is reasonable to be nervous.
Then, Eros also stood up from his seat and asked Ayesha beside him in a low voice:
"Is this lady your mother?"
Eros didn't know that Natalia was Ayesha's mother, so he was trying to pretend to be more like her.
“Yes… yes!”
Ayesha lowered her head, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment and shame.
He looks just like a high school student who was caught in a premature love relationship by his parents.
