Chapter 477: Chapter 477: I'm in love with Eren
Eren was standing on the balcony of the Holy Palace, overlooking the vast expanse of the Holy City.
There was a cunning smile on his lips as he had come up with a method to take advantage of the absence of the main force of the Holy Church.
He silently gazed at the Holy Church in the distance which looked quite pleasing to the eyes, unlike before.
"Don't mess with the plan. Also, inform the ladies to play along as well. I don't want a misunderstanding," he whispered under his breath, his words reaching the ears of the clone which could only nod in response.
After finishing his instructions, Eren jumped off the balcony, his figure gliding through the air. In the absence of the Cardinals, even the weakest of spells was enough to hide his presence.
He made his way towards the Holy Church which was a forbidden place for non believers.
....
"Although it's a crazy plan, but so be it." The clone draped the royal robe over his shoulders.
As Felona was also keeping an eye on the Sea Dragon Empress, he could leave the room freely.
Moreover, Eren had already confirmed to him that she wasn't going to wake up or complete her evolution until the next morning.
The women that they had to be more careful about were the two Great Elders of the Demon Sect.
The clone really hoped that he could make them understand, for which he needed to make a lot of excuses. It was easier said than done since a lot of things had to be hidden from them.
Soon Eren's clone reached the training hall. The guards outside the training hall stepped aside. One of them opened the training hall doors for him.
Normally, the training hall was a place where the Holy Warriors of the Empire trained, but under the Emperor's instructions, the entire hall was reserved for the guests.
Not a single guard had forgotten the day when the Emperor had annihilated half the army with his own hands. His blood covered figure was still fresh in their minds.
Eren's clone could see that they were scared of him, but he didn't mind it. If anything, it was beneficial for him if everyone maintained a safe distance from him.
He was a clone which was going to be destroyed at the slightest of damage. Even if they hadn't stayed away from them, he had to stay away from getting within arms reach of them to avoid any accident.
Eren's clone entered the training hall and the door behind him swiftly closed.
"Huh?" After entering the training hall, Eren's expressions became really weird. The scene in front of him was something that he had never expected.
"Weren't they supposed to be training you?" He asked Yu Lin, who was standing in one corner silently.
She was the disciple which was supposed to be trained by two Great Elders, but the two of them appeared to be immersed in something else.
"Argh, be careful!" He swiftly went down on his knees, avoiding a stray sword aura attack that had come in his direction.
His back was covered in cold sweat. If he was even a second late, the attack had easily destroyed him before he could even help Eren.
He didn't understand just what was happening in front of him. The two great elders weren't training Yu Lin. Instead... They were fighting with each other?
It didn't look like a training battle either. Instead, it appeared as if the two of them were really trying to kill each other.
"Do you know what is happening here?" The clone asked Yu Lin who appeared to be the only person who could know what was happening here.
"I don't know." Yu Lin also innocently shrugged. "But I think it has something to do with the master."
"What?" Eren's clone didn't understand a single thing. How could their battle have anything to do with Eren? Just what was happening here?
"Sister Zia, I will give you another opportunity. Do you want to take your words back?" Xiu Ying said, holding her sharp sword firmly. Her eyes were brimming with heavy killing intent.
"In another corner of the training hall, there was Zia. There were small cuts on her clothes but her body was unharmed.
As an Alchemist, not only was her healing skills the best out of all the Great Elders but even her strength could rise sharply depending on the pills that she used.
It was said that Zia wasn't the strongest great elder but she was the hardest to deal with, with almost infinite energy.
"Sister Xiu, there is nothing for me to take back," Great Elder Zia answered, not showing even the slightest of fear even when facing Xiu Ying.
It was as if she was ready for whatever came her way. This time, she had made up her mind. She was going to take what she wanted.
"I believe I am in love with Eren as well. I know that he is with you, but so what? I felt the same level of affection in his eyes for me as well," Great Elder Zia told Xiu Ying without caring even the slightest about her killing intent that flared even more.
"What the..." In the distance, Eren's clone heard their words. As he understood what was happening, he couldn't help but facepalm himself.
For the first time, he felt glad that he wasn't real Eren but a single clone. There was no way he would've wanted to deal with these two crazy women.
"Also, in which era did a man as brilliant as him not have more than one woman? Don't tell me you want to monopolize him just because you met him first?"
Subconsciously, he even wanted to slowly sneak out of this place. If he didn't have to go through with Eren's plan with urgency, he would've surely snuck out of here.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do that. Moreover, the training hall also couldn't survive their battle for long. The roof and the walls had already started falling apart with barely any place left which could be called still intact.
He rubbed his forehead, sighing, "I'm not paid nearly enough for this."
