He surprisingly suppressed his temper and continued to explain to her.
However, this still couldn't let Cynthia completely relax, his expression was just too terrifying.
But she still made an appearance of listening attentively.
"A thousand years ago, I discovered Tamriel, which was then inhabited by the remnants of the Aedra from the Three Wars. I took it by force and created a river to encircle a forest as a boundary. Any race that entered Tamriel would worship me as a god and have only one faith, except for that damned Austin."
At this, Kael's face twisted into an expression that was hard to bear. He quickly suppressed his voice and continued what he had just said, "Five hundred years ago, the royal family of Rydania signed a treaty with me. They lived on the other side of the river and promised never to interfere with my territory, but now they want to go back on their word."
"Cynthia bit her lip and said: 'Because we've always thought of Tamriel as a possession of the Redguards.'"
Caius crossed his legs, leaning back in the chair with an air of nobility, but his face was full of sarcasm. "It was true before the Divine War, because this continent had not been divided by me yet, and everything here was shrouded in the light of the gods, while I could only live in eternal darkness without any light."
You are the god of light! You just swallowed the dark memory brought by the personality and lost it, and you're still confused!
Cynthia really wanted to crawl over and grab his head, shaking it hard while telling him the truth, but now even if she had a hundred guts, she couldn't afford the consequences of doing so.
But it can't be denied that after the God War, Kaylus lived a lonely life in darkness for a thousand years, until today...
Cynthia thought for a moment, straightened her body and leaned towards him again, probing: "Then do you want to take back Rydania? After all, you said that the divine grace was lost there."
Caius's delicate jaw lifted slightly, and the smile that rose brought a chilling coldness. "I have always adhered to the agreement and kept my distance from Riedania. If they unilaterally break the agreement and formally launch an attack on me, then I would be happy to overthrow this country that no god dares to bless."
"Oh no! Don't do that!" Cynthia's eyes widened and she shook her head vigorously.
Those were all your subjects before!
If he really did this, then three thousand years later there would be no more Republic of Venedig and it would cease to exist!
Because of her decisive words, Caius's face turned ugly, the smile at the corner of his lips became a straight line, and he suddenly pressed both hands on the bed sheet, encircling Cynthia in his two sturdy arms. "Do you still care about them?"
Those eyes, filled with gloom, were close at hand, Cynthia was so scared that she wanted to tremble all over. She couldn't help but slow down her breathing, first shaking her head and then nodding, looking extremely conflicted.
"Although they all abandoned me, ... the Queen of Rhedania is my mother and there are many friends I know there." Cynthia replied cautiously, "I don't want them to die, if that day really comes, I will find a way to stop it."
And also...
Cynthia summoned her courage to stare back at him, reaching out to touch the flawless face. "I know you're powerful, but you don't have your divine powers now, Kaythus... I don't want you to take any risks."
Kairos was stunned for a moment, and all the bad emotions on his cold face disappeared at this moment, replaced by a kind of confusion and emptiness.
His hands on either side of her body relaxed a little, and Cynthia felt safe.
She slowly put down her hand that had desecrated the god, just about to move her buttocks back and lean against the headboard. Kael's warm palm grasped her arm, his low voice was soft and majestic, "You won't have a chance to regret turning towards the light, if there is such a day, I will kill you."
If he didn't say such harsh words with that good skin, Cynthia would be happy to give a free kiss.
Kairos let go of his hand as soon as he finished speaking, and his body relaxed instantly, sinking back into the sofa with a lazy expression. However, his mood had clearly become more relaxed and pleasant.
"Got it."
Cynthia's drowsiness was gone, but she still retreated into the quilt with only her face exposed, and asked in a muffled voice, "Just now you said why Austin is an exception?"
"But it's just a history book that you can't even remember." Kaelos put his hands back on the armrests, with a hint of puzzlement and disdain between his eyebrows, "Losing magic along with losing one's mind, this kind of thing is rarely seen."
"If you teased me a little less, I'd like you more." Cynthia glared at him indignantly.
"State the facts, with your current state, you can't even touch the common sense of divine techniques." Kael's tone unconsciously softened.
"Uh-huh, yeah, I'm just trash."
Cynthia pouted and turned over, she didn't want to look at that annoying face anymore.
Wait...
Divine Technique?
It seemed like Cynthia had thought of something, she suddenly turned around and even directly lifted the quilt to pounce on Kael, her hands pressed on his muscular thighs, her eyes shining brightly with expectation as she said: "So you want me to try to relearn magic?!"
She leaned in too close, so close that her nose almost bumped into his smooth jawline.
Kairos's body stiffened on the sofa, and his tone also became uneasy, "Get down."
"When am I going to school? A big Tamolia like this must have schools." Cynthia ignored his words, delighted that she had finally found something right to do.
"You don't have to go to school," Kael replied quietly.
"Not going to school?" Cynthia's eyes, which had just lit up, quickly dimmed again. Her butt returned to the bed and her hands, which were propping herself up on his legs, also came back. Her expression turned disappointed.
Caius looked at her expression and said with a self-satisfied tone: "I'll teach you myself."
The room fell silent again.
Cynthia could almost predict how he would use a contemptuous attitude to scold her for being stupid every day in her ear.
Although this is a good opportunity to brush up on her progress, her confidence will be shattered.
With tears streaming down her heart, she still put on an exceptionally joyful expression and asked, "When do we start?"
"After Austin left." Kael's red eyes softened slightly, and he said impatiently, "Now you can sleep."
Cynthia snuggled back under the covers. "One last question, you still haven't explained to me why Austin is an exception?"
Caius: "The Fey don't get their power from faith, but from plants and corpses, especially those of giants."
