When the inauguration ceremony was over, a bunch of documents, and a meeting with the elders in the Schariac family were all Thea needed to do right now.
As has been said before. Schariac's house had been in external and internal turmoil for quite a long time. A pile of problems almost the same as the ocean is normal.
Moreover, Thea got the position of patriarch without the slightest support from the elders in the Schariac family. They must be still thinking about how to control this young patriarch.
Senior bullies junior.
As long as there are beings who can think, and involve their own interests, conflicts of interest are inevitable.
In the past, her mother had succeeded in becoming the patriarch of the Schariac house because Otto himself had taken care of all her problems. Cecilia didn't even know how to manage her own family.
Although Thea could have chosen the same option as Cecilia to pass all of her responsibilities onto Otto, and enjoy the position of patriarch without doing anything. Thea still wants to do it alone.
If not, what's the point of her being the Saintess of the Schariac house?
"The door is unlocked, please come in."
Opened a large door made of expensive teak wood. Aurora entered the room without the need for courtesy, and her eyes immediately focused on an old man who was sitting in a daze on the sofa.
The old man just stared at the ceiling with his mouth half open, as if he had an illusion.
"You will kill him?"
"Of course not, do you think I'm a devil?"
Thea fixed the glasses she was wearing, and she smiled sweetly at Aurora.
"This old man is one of the executives controlling the medical sector of the Schariac house from the main branch line. His figure is so important that all payments from the Schariac house have to pass through his own hands before being approved."
"When I asked about the financial cash flow statement, this old man always threw his responsibilities around. So I invited him into my room, and brainwashed his dirty brain using a Fenghuang Down feather."
"Now that she wakes up from the illusion I created, she will become my loyal follower. I only need to catch two more fish to strengthen my position as the Saintess of the House of Schariac."
"You know, going to their doors one by one, it's quite a tiring job."
Hearing something terrible that came out of Thea's mouth, it was as if it was a normal thing. Aurora shrugged her shoulders, and she looked at her sister with a confused look.
"I don't care what you do to the ants. But, is there a reason why you called me here?"
Get rid of the documents that were on her desk. Thea took off the glasses she was wearing at the moment, and she was still smiling.
"I'm busy, but it depends on what I'm doing."
"Then why are you wearing glasses?"
"That's cool, and makes me feel really smart. Any questions?"
"No..."
Stop to talks nonsense. Thea immediately said the reason she called Aurora here.
"I'll go straight to the point. My little sister, would you like to be the captain of the security department's team?"
Aurora snorted dissatisfiedly: "Is that all? You called me all the way here just to offer something useless? You wasted my time."
Thea shook her head: "No, quite the opposite. This position is very useful for you."
Thea smiled slyly: "Have you forgotten what I told you that night? Your big sister will take care of all your problems."
"Get ready Aurora, we will go to Anti-Entropy first to do diplomacy, and negotiations, and after that we will go to Siberia."
"Let's save your sleeping princess from her ice chest."
____
Today is a sunny day.
Decided to go to a secret meeting with the Anti-Entropy executors first, before going to Siberia. Thea and Aurora were walking side by side, and she suddenly heard someone call her title name.
Thea turned around curiously.
"Wait for me, Your Highness Saintess!!"
Run towards Thea as fast as she can. The chestnut-haired girl was panting heavily, and she was finally able to catch up with the two of them.
"Maria, didn't I tell you not to call me by your highness Saintess again? What era has this been... Just call me by my name." Thea gave a gentle suggestion.
"No, it is an honor just to know your name! I not dare say it Your Highness Saintess!"
"Then I will be angry."
"But..."
"Maria, call my name."
"Hngh... M-Miss Saintess..."
Thea: ".... (╬◣_◢)"
Maria: ".... (○A○)!!!"
Can feel a very domineering aura coming out of Thea's body. Maria Schariac, the former Saintess candidate, lowered her head in fear.
Miss Saintess when angry is really very scary!
"Ahh... Never mind, do whatever you want." Thea shook her head helplessly.
This kid is really very stubborn.
"Since you are already here, then I will introduce my sister to you. Introducing her, her name is Aurora Schariac. From now on she is the captain of the security department, and she will be your boss in the future."
"Oh, nice to meet you Captain Aurora! Please for the guidance in the future!!" Maria bowed politely.
"Hey! Since when did I agree to take this position!? I never said yes!"
Aurora who saw Thea ignored her, and walked away from the two of them, gritting her teeth, and she quickly caught up with her.
"Hey, what's the point of all this? Who is she!? Aren't we going to Siberia later? Why do we have to take her?!"
Thea answered Aurora's questions one by one calmly.
"The girl's name is Maria Schariac, my rival-to-be when the two of us are still fighting over Saintess's position. Unlike me who has no support at all from the elders, the girl has a lot of influential support behind her."
"The diplomacy we are doing this time represents the Schariac house, not Schicksal. So bringing her in to negotiate with Anti-Entropy is an obligation."
"You can rest assured, even though she is from the Schariac house, she can still be trusted. She is a kind girl."
When she first heard that her rival's name for the position of Saintess had the name Maria Schariac. Thea almost lost control, and she wanted to rush to Schariac's house to strangle her to death.
It was fortunate that she wake up quickly, and dispelled this killing intent like nothing had happened.
After all, she used to think that the game next door was really scary. But now, she realized that the game Honkai Impact 3 was much scarier than her little sister.
After reading some of Kevin's memories, Thea knew that there was a misinformation due to this memory fragment in her mind.
The next game has an energy-type civilization enemy trying to invade the entire universe. As for the Honkai Impact 3 game, their Honkai is an entity from a high dimension, which tries to embrace humanity.
Advanced civilizations, compared to entities from higher dimensions. Which is scarier?
Her words that she used to tell the Will of Honkai that she would defeat Cocoon of Finality was a big joke.
Thea didn't even know how to defeat Cocoon of Finality which even Kiana couldn't destroy when she became Herrscher of Finality in the future.
This scared her to death as she recalled what kind of words she had so boldly said in front of the Will of Honkai.
If she could go back in time, she would probably have slapped her childish self in the mouth for not knowing the limit of the sky's height.
However...
Reading Kevin's memories further, Thea knew that all her worries were completely unnecessary.
The reason why it's called a cocoon is because it's a cocoon.
That thing had no consciousness at all, and only had basic instincts filled with chaos.
The reason why Kiana in the future could become a Herrscher of Finality was also because the Cocoon of Finality didn't reject her when she merged, and became one with her.
If one day the Cocoon of Finality has a consciousness of its own, and chooses to rebel...
Then Thea will immediately close the board of her coffin obediently.
There is no hope.
Dead is better.
At least you won't suffer.
"Aurora, listen to me."
Thea returned to the main topic.
After she assumed the Saintess position of the Schariac house. Thea met Maria once again, and she finally recognized that this girl named Maria's personality was really very good.
It was Maria who had helped her take care of most of the matters during her time as a Saintess, and pointed out a few things that she needed to take care of first.
Even though her help was a little useless since she could do it herself. Her sincere help moved Thea's heart.
At least she couldn't hate this silly girl at all.
"You will now become the captain of the security department, and you will lead your own team later. Hurry up and come up with a good team name, and let me know later when you have made up your mind. I will also need to transfer some people from our family to fill subordinate positions..."
Seeing Thea who immediately entered work mode, as they walked side by side. Aurora took a deep breath.
"This is why I hate politics. You're just giving me extra trouble."
"Miss Saintess, captain Aurora, wait for me!"
"Argh..."
Aurora held her head which suddenly became very dizzy, helplessly.
Damn it, the problem is growing again!
"Dad!"
"Oh, Thea, are you also inviting Aurora to go with us? Are you ready to go?"
Standing at the airport while wearing sunglasses. Siegfried, who was currently talking to the new patriarch of the Kaslana house, waved his hand at the woman next to him.
"Sorry Larina, I'll be borrowing Judgment of Shamash for a while. Tell them to wait."
Larina shook her head: "It's okay, it doesn't bother me at all. Even though wielding the weapon divine key is the privilege of a patriarch, I firmly believe that in your hands, the weapon divine key can unleash its full potential."
"However, even though I'm already an S-rank valkyrie like you, my power isn't in strength-type, but in agility. One slash of Might of An-utu is enough to roast me to ashes. Besides, I don't want to carry a suicide weapon in my own hands."
"I will talk to them about delaying the handing over of the divine key. This time you owe me a favor Siegfried."
"Haha, then next time I'll treat you to drinks! See you later Larina!"
"Yeah, just remember your promise!"
....
Waving to each other as a sign of farewell. Siegfried came to his two daughters, and he greeted them both.
"Long time no see, Thea, Aurora. Are you girls ready to go to Anti-Entropy? This time dad will be your diplomatic liaison!"
Thea smiled: "Then I'll leave this matter to you, dad."
"Yes, just leave everything to me!"
Boarding airplanes at airports, the most common vehicle for going to North America. Siegfried who was sitting in the passenger seat, stretched his body muscles lazily.
He asked curiously.
"By the way Thea, have you become a Saintess yet?"
Hearing this, Thea's mouth immediately twitched: "Dad, you've asked that many times in the stigmata room. Can you shut up, and stop asking that in the real world? You're making my head spin."
Siegfried also sighed helplessly: "You know kid, when you, and Aurora decided to go to Schicksal, we both thought that you girls would definitely follow your sister's path and form your own team to defeat the honkai. We just didn't expect that with no wind and no rain you would suddenly become the Saintess of the Schariac house! Your mom almost fainted when she accepted your inauguration invitation!"
"Do you know how surprised we were!? The position of the Saintess and Knight sounds pretty good, but those two things are just a dollhouse to Otto!"
"Kid, tell father honestly, were you forced by Otto to accept this position!?"
Thea became angry: "I've said the answer dozens of times old man! Are you deaf or do you have a fish brain memory!? Even a Mother Mary can get angry because you ask this over and over again!"
"But!! Dad feels that you taking the initiative to become the patriarch of the Schariac house is impossible! I mean, what's the point of this position!?"
Thea sighed tiredly: "You don't understand..."
"Then please try to explain to me."
"...."
"Why are you quiet?"
....
Spending time in awkward silence. Siegfried could sense Thea was hiding something from him.
A secret, which she doesn't want to talk to anyone about.
"Okay, let's pretend that dad didn't say the things before. But if you do need help, please tell me. I'll always be by your side."
".... Thank You."
Thea lowered her head, and fiddled with her fingers uneasily.
The second most difficult thing to do after being honest with yourself is being honest with your parents.
She had once promised her family that she would not keep anything secret. But now, she lied.
She became very hypocritical.
Just like adults.
"I am really really sorry..."
Thea lowered her head sadly.
____
Ontario, Canada.
Enjoy the cold weather in the morning while drinking warm coffee that has just been made in the coffee machine. Welt Yang who had just blown his coffee smoke a few times, suddenly noticed a large shadow blocking the sunlight in front of his eyes.
Raising his head, Welt saw Tesla looking at him with an angry look.
"Joachim, can you be serious a bit? We are going to be meeting with an important client soon. How come you can still take your time drinking coffee in the corner!"
Tesla who saw Welt Yang, the Anti-Entropy sovereign, was drinking coffee casually. Unable to hold her forehead with dizziness.
As the highest leader of Anti-Entropy, where is your prestige go!
This must be the effect of hanging out too long with lazy Theresa!
"Don't worry Dr. Tesla. We're all friends, so don't be so formal. Treating a friend like that always makes me awkward for some reason."
"What do you mean by friends? Aren't we going to meet up with the Saintess of the Schariac house to do some cooperation?" Tesla is still confused.
Hearing this, Einstein shook her head helplessly: "It seems that you really live in a cave Dr, Tesla. It's been one month since the inauguration of the new patriarch of the house of Schariac and Kaslana. Do you know Thea? Isn't this name a little familiar?"
"What do you mean mophead. Of course I know who she is. Isn't she the new Saintess of the Schariac house? Didn't I mention her earlier?"
Hearing this, both Welt Yang and Einstein let out a very long sigh.
This woman doesn't just live in a cave, Her brain has apparently also become a little rusty.
Welt Yang drank all the bitterness in his life using bitter black coffee, and Einstein just patted her forehead helplessly.
"Thea Schariac, Will of stigmata."
"Wait... what? What do you mean, wait! You mean the Thea we're talking about right now is the stigmata of Kiana!?"
"Yes, that's her."
Hearing the keyword from Einstein, and the confirmation answer from her. Tesla understood the meaning of the two of them at this time, but after that, she was still confused.
"Wait a minute... Something's wrong. If I'm not mistaken aren't Thea and Kiana currently 13 years old? So the current Saintess is a 13 year old kid? Is everyone blind!?"
In any world, the person's appearance and face itself are still a benchmark in one's judgment.
An old man who has a lot of gray hair can be called a man of experience.
A young man who has high spirits, is said to be someone who has high ambitions, and has unlimited potential.
A 13 year old kid....
....What do you expect from them?
Is there something wrong with your eyes and letting such a small girl become the patriarch of the Schariac house?
This must all be Otto's conspiracy!
Damn, looks like they've fallen into his trap!
Tesla suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"In the beginning, I also couldn't believe the news I got. But once you see her figure, you'll be pretty sure that she isn't the little brat you imagined."
Welt stroked his chin: "How should I say it… Maybe the growth of the body of the kaslana family is growing too fast. She is like a 17 year old girl to me. "
Einstein also shrugged her shoulders.
"After all, she was a stigmata from the start. The way she grew up might be different from that of us humans. So to avoid serious mistakes, I beg you Joachim not to be too casual in front of her."
Welt nodded his head: "I understand Dr. Einstein, Dr. Tesla. I will be careful."
Standing in the waiting room of the international airport together with the two Anti-Entropy scientists. Welt Yang who saw the airplane appearing in his field of vision, immediately looked at the watch in his hand.
"Let's go to greet the guests. They have arrived."
Welt Yang tidied the suit he was wearing seriously.
