Chapter 423: Sharon and Audrey

Chapter 423: Sharon and Audrey

Hastur's eyes also showed a look of surprise. Since the last time he embraced Sharon, she had been keeping her distance from him. Except for occasionally playing with Aisala, she mostly stayed inside the mirror.

Unexpectedly, today she suddenly came out of the mirror.

Looking at her now, is she here for Miss Audrey?

Could it be that Sharon is also interested in Miss Audrey?

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

Hmm, why do I need to worry about this? Maybe Sharon just wants to be friends with Miss Audrey?

Hastur glanced at Sharon again. Sharon, standing on the stairs, was quietly holding Aisala, with no intention of coming down. She just stood there, calmly looking at him and Audrey from a distance.

Audrey also looked calmly at Sharon on the stairs, seemingly without the intention to speak.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent and gradually started to get awkward.

Hastur could only smile and greet Aisala, who was lying in Sharon's arms, hoping to break this not-so-pleasant atmosphere with the help of the little one.

But Aisala just slightly raised her eyelids and glanced at him, her tail swaying slowly, gently brushing Sharon's arm, showing no desire to move. Finally, she even closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Miss Sharon, you are as beautiful as ever today, making one feel ashamed," Audrey suddenly spoke gracefully, with an elegant smile on her face, exuding an inexplicable aura, looking like the mistress of the house.

Sharon just glanced at Hastur indifferently, then looked at Audrey, and walked down the stairs step by step. She walked to Hastur's side and nodded to Audrey, "Miss Audrey, your elegance and beauty are also enviable."

Hastur's eyes showed even more surprise. Does Sharon have such a side that praises others?

Audrey smiled and said, "I have always been interested in the mysterious world, especially since there are people like Miss Sharon in it, which makes it even more fascinating."

"Your life is also enviable."

"Miss Sharon, would you mind sitting down and chatting? Mr. Hastur said that your adventures are very rich."

With Audrey's invitation, Sharon sat opposite Audrey with Aisala in her arms. As for Hastur, who was being ignored, he sensibly sat a bit farther away.

"Adventure is not something worth boasting about," Sharon said softly, stroking Aisala's head while talking to Audrey.

Her voice was still very cold, always giving people a feeling of being kept at a distance.

Audrey didn't mind this tone of conversation and instead talked a lot with Sharon about the mysterious world.

After listening to some of Sharon's brief descriptions, Audrey sighed, "I have always yearned for a grand adventure, but it never comes true. Even though I know there are dangers involved, I am still willing to pay a price to glimpse the different beauty of this world."

Sharon didn't speak. The Miss Audrey in front of her was very much like her younger self. At that time, the Rose School of Thought had not yet undergone any changes, and she also had fairy-tale dreams of grand adventures in her teacher's castle.

"Miss Sharon, how did you meet Mr. Hastur?" Audrey said, glancing at Hastur who was sitting a bit far away, and smiled, "Mr. Hastur, why are you sitting so far away?"

Sharon also glanced at him. Although she didn't speak, Hastur suddenly understood the deep meaning in her eyes.

Clearly, she had the courage to hug him before, but now she was keeping her distance in front of Miss Audrey. Was she afraid that Miss Audrey would misunderstand something?

Hastur wanted to confirm Sharon's gaze again, but Sharon had already turned her head, showing a look of not wanting to pay attention to him.

Even Aisala in Sharon's arms let out a meaningful meow.

Hastur suppressed his awkward feelings, "Two beautiful ladies are talking, I should sensibly give them space."

"Oh, is that so?"

Audrey blinked her bright eyes, seemingly seeing through Hastur's current awkwardness.

Fortunately, Audrey didn't ask the classic question, "Who is more beautiful, Miss Sharon or me?"

"Guilty conscience."

Sharon lightly uttered a word, making Audrey smile.

"You two chat, I'll go check on Fors' matters."

Hastur pretended not to hear Sharon's words, found an excuse to leave, and let Sharon and Audrey be alone.

After walking a bit further, Hastur realized that leaving like this would just confirm Sharon's accusation of a guilty conscience.

He clearly hadn't done anything, so why did he feel guilty?

The key point was, when Sharon and Audrey looked at him at the same time, he indeed felt a moment of guilt.

Hastur paused, glanced at Sharon and Audrey who were happily chatting, and felt that they seemed to be emitting an invisible aura, probing and colliding in a hidden corner.

Hmm, it should be an illusion.

Hastur withdrew his gaze and went to the garden behind the house. After waiting for a while, Fors and Xio appeared through the spirit world passage.

With the help of a Sequence 4 demigod from the Church of the Yellow Robe, passing through the spirit world passage was not difficult.

"Thank you, Mr. Hastur."

"It's just a small matter."

"Mr. Hastur, did you wait here specifically for us?" Fors asked curiously, "Has Audrey already left?"

"Miss Audrey is chatting with Sharon. You can join them too," Hastur said with a smile.

"I see." Fors was obviously tempted, "Mr. Hastur, do you have something else to do here?"

"Yes, I have some matters to handle. You go ahead."

Hastur indicated for Fors and Xio to join Sharon and Audrey's conversation. With more people, it would be less likely to be awkward.

As for himself, he wandered around the garden to relax.

But after walking half a circle in the garden, he found that Fors and Xio, who were supposed to join Sharon and Audrey's conversation, were also in the garden.

He couldn't help but change direction and walked up to them. Before he could speak, Fors showed an awkward but polite smile and whispered, "Miss Sharon and Miss Audrey seem to have an inexplicable aura around them. We felt uncomfortable sitting there for a while, so we found an excuse to slip into the garden."

"Miss Sharon is holding Aisala, and Miss Audrey has Susie lying at her feet. It looks very... balanced? Evenly matched?" Xio added.

Hastur remained silent. Fors glanced at him and couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Hastur, did you also come to the garden because you felt uncomfortable staying there?"

She had been wondering why Mr. Hastur, as the host, would leave his guests and come to the garden to relax.

"A pleasant and effective conversation requires some space," Hastur explained seriously.

"I understand, I get what you mean, Mr. Hastur."

Fors showed a look of sudden realization, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. She found it hard to suppress her laughter, feeling it would be impolite to laugh at Mr. Hastur directly.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand," Xio asked curiously, looking at Hastur and Fors, feeling they were playing a riddle in front of her.

"Nothing, it's just rare to see this side of Mr. Hastur."

The corners of Fors' mouth were already raised, and there was an unstoppable smile in her eyes.

Hastur just said indifferently, "I have the formula for the Recorder's potion. Do you want it?"

"Yes!" Fors immediately got excited.

"But I don't want to sell it for now."

"..."

The smile on Fors' face froze, and her eyes widened slightly.

This time, it was Xio's turn to laugh. Even though she didn't understand what was happening, Fors' expression was too amusing.

"Sigh."

Fors sighed heavily, and the three of them began to stroll around the garden.

Upstairs, Mrs. Lisa opened the window and looked at the young men and women in the garden, sighing at how wonderful youth was.

She had thought that the divine envoy had a mindset and personality that didn't match his age, but in the end, the divine envoy was still a handsome young man liked by girls.

Besides the always accompanying Miss Sharon, there were actually three other girls with distinct personalities around him.

One was noble and elegant, one was intellectual and mature, and one was... petite and cute?

After watching for a while, she closed the window and began to ponder whether to write a novel story for the divine envoy.

Love is always an enduring topic.

In the garden, Hastur and the other two walked around twice and felt it was about time to return to where Sharon and Audrey were chatting.

From a distance, Sharon and Audrey seemed to have just finished a conversation and were taking a short break, drinking tea and enjoying desserts.

Seeing Hastur and the other two approaching, Sharon just glanced at Hastur quietly and quickly looked away.

Audrey smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Hastur, Sharon just mentioned that you two visited the Republic of Intis, the homeland of Emperor Roselle. Are there any interesting places there?"

Hastur was slightly stunned and glanced at the silent Sharon. It was strange that Sharon would share such things with Audrey.

"It's a nice place, but the sun is a bit too strong."

"Is that all?"

Audrey's eyes carried a probing look, as if confirming something.

Standing behind Hastur, Fors couldn't help but start imagining a new story in her mind.

The chapter could be titled: "How to Deal with Two Women at the Same Time."

Or it could be a love story involving two women and one man, or perhaps: "The Love Battlefield?"
