ROYAL SCANDAL (13)

"I CAN KEEP it a secret, but that doesn't ensure that the other gods won't find out the truth," Goddess Alethea said. "If you really managed to get rid of the pollution here in my domain, the other gods who have the same problem as me would do everything in their power to find out how my domain was saved."

Neoma was also aware of that.

She knew that she couldn't keep her secret for too long since she couldn't hide her real power once she went on a full-on war with the crows.

However, stalling wouldn't be so bad.

"It's alright as long as you keep it a secret, Goddess Alethea," Neoma said. "The important thing is they don't get the answer right away."

"You're buying time."

"That, I am," she said, looking around. "I'm hungry."

"I apologize, but I have nothing to offer to your soul, young princess."

"That's not true," she said, smiling at the goddess. "I find Darkness delectable."
