Bab 42: CHAPTER 42
The night was getting darker and quieter. Gabby and the others had returned to their Pavilion, only Lili, who was seen reflective in the room.
She continued to process the conversation last night with Gabby and the others. She remembered the meeting that discussed the Devil. She realized that what was discussed at the Imperial meeting and the conversation Gabby and her subordinates were talking about was the same Devil.
"Hey, thinking about that lowly Devil?" the monologue from inside Lili. Lili realized that the Entity within her was speaking to her.
"To them, it's probably just a lowly Devil. Compared to the Oreberion, that Devil is indeed lowly. But he is much stronger than me. I can feel his essence." continued the monologue from Lili herself.
"Is that so?" Lili asked herself in a monologue.
"I'm a little glad you're willing to enter into a life and death contract with her. She who has both Father and Mother essence reminds me of them." said the Monologue within Lili.
Lily frowned. "I do not understand what you mean?" Lily was confused.
"They are the Great Goddesses who gave birth to Darkness and Light..."
"…That man named Baba is their eldest son." Lili's monologue made her even more confused.
"Hydra, you're confusing me even more," said Lili annoyed at the Hydra inside her.
Hydra exhaled. "This is what pisses me off, Humans. Your thinking is too shallow."
"Don't you think how a little girl can make two goddesses who are not from this dimension as her servant, even the eldest child of the Goddess is also her servant," said Hydra.
"It could be because of the Absolute Essence," answered Lili as best she could.
"Yeah, you're right, but you know how she can have such an Absolute Essence?" Hydra asked Lili. Lili shook her head. "I don't know," answered Lily.
"There are two answers. She is the Supreme Goddess herself or the One who is destined to be Gods and Goddesses," said Hydra making Lili gasp.
"She who the Gods and Goddess destine, what does that mean?" Lily asked curiously.
"You know that every Entity in this world has its destiny, even Angels. The Gods and Goddesses have also predestined gods and Goddesses called Father and Mother." Hydra explained.
"You know a lot."
"Sure, why do you think my Dragon Emperor has to compete for the Throne with my Brother Dragon Lord…."
"…Who can occupy the Throne will serve the Darkness and Light," said Hydra.
"And you lost the fight over it," said Lily mockingly.
"There's no win or loss. Our feud makes Dark and Light uncomfortable so that the Throne is divided into two," said Hydra did not accept being ridiculed.
Lili tilted her head. "Huh?"
"I occupied the Throne of darkness, and the Dragon Lord occupied the Throne of Light," said Hydra looking at Lili, confused.
"So basically, who is Queen Gabby?" asked Lili, who was increasingly curious.
"I'm not sure about that. But if you want revenge on your husband, you are on the right side to get help. Well, even if I can take on that damn arrogant phoenix myself, at least being a part of it will be there to help us if we get into other troubles." said Hydra at length.
"Can you stop calling him my husband? Just hearing it makes me sick," said Lili flatly.
"Yeah yeah, it's up to you. I'm glad you decided to be a part of it," said Hydra lazily.
"Alright, I'd a better sleep for tomorrow's meeting, don't bother me." Lili walked to her bed.

The sun began to rise, already indicating midday will be. Already filled the Tournament Arena with spectators who wanted to watch the fight.
As if Gabby could sit on her throne, the people in the Arena widened their eyes again to see Gabby's subordinates increased by one person, and that person was Shushu.
When the presenters did the narration to continue the delayed opening yesterday, he stopped when Concubine Yona interrupted him.
"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to stop you. As an apology for delaying yesterday's fight, how about if we look at Her Majesty's Queen Gabby's skills, I wonder what Her Majesty's skills are," said Concubine Yona, turning to Gabby. What thousands of pairs of eyes stared at was quietly closing their eyes.
Lili saw that Concubine Yona provoked Queen Gabby, making her jaw clench. Shushu, who heard Concubine Yona's words looked condescendingly.
Yona's concubine, who saw Gabby close her eyes, calmly angered her. She turned to Lili and smirked. She didn't realize that Shushu looked at her with an unfortunate look.
"It's also true what Concubine Yona said. How about Your Majesty, count it as our apology to the people for postponing yesterday's Tournament." Alejandro looked up at Emperor Blaise.
Emperor Blaise only raised his eyebrows at Concubine Yona. "If Queen Gabby wants to show off her skills, that's fine." Emperor Blaise's deep voice began to sound.
The whole Arena cheered to see Queen Gabby's skill which was rumoured to be the possessor of the powerful Light Element. Even the rumours that said Gabby had wiped out the Spinx Kingdom's frontline troops reached their ears.
Gabby opened her eyes and turned to Emperor Blaise. "Is that so? Who do you think will be my opponent?" Gabby said, smiling. Her smile made thousands of pairs of eyes stare at her.
"I!" said Concubine Yona arrogantly.
The people started cheering, hearing Concubine Yona, who would be Queen Gabby's opponent.
The female concubine Yona who possessed three Tier 4 Earth, Wind, and Water Elements, was naturally known in the Empire as a talented Arch Mage. That was why she was able to become the Imperial Grand Concubine.
Lili clenched her jaw. She tried to follow Gabby and the others to calm down.
Lili reached her hand out to touch the back of Gabby's hand. "Your Majesty, let me deal with it," said Lili, not wanting the Snake to touch her Lord.
Gabby turned and smiled at Lili. Concubine Yona Walked down her throne towards the battle arena. It took a few minutes because the throne was on the third-highest floor.
"You're worried about me, Lili?" Gabby's soft words fascinated Lili with the melodious strains of her voice. "Thank you for worrying about me. You don't have to worry." continued Gabby making Lili sad.
Gabby stood up from her throne, looking at Concubine Yona, already in the Arena waiting for her, with a smile that didn't fade.
Gabby stretched her arms to open a portal of light twice as big as Gabby's body. She entered the Portal and was immediately drawn to the Battle Arena. The whole room cheered to see Gabby teleport in front of their eyes. This was the first time they had seen someone teleport in person because the teleport spell is an ancient magic spell that was lost even before the appearance of the Holy Imperial Princess Azruth.
Those on the thrones stared at Gabby in surprise. Those who have pure royal bloodlines can't even teleport, let alone those of nobles who can only chuckle in admiration. Gabby looked at Concubine Yona still with a sweet smile.
Concubine Yona was stunned by Gabby's charisma and beauty, but her malice and envy covered it.
