Chapter 96: "Aurora goal"

As an island floating above the Mediterranean sea, except for the gigantic clouds everywhere, outside the protective dome, we can see an enormous moon accompanied by thousands of stars in the night sky.

That moon shines so brightly, as if to say that I'm very special, and will always be here to watch over you.

"Ughh... Where does she go? The nights here are quite cold." Aurora regretted going out without wearing her jacket.

Since she set foot in the Schicksal headquarters and was taken by her sister, Bianka, to the training room to meet her squad members. Aurora has now officially joined and become a member of the Immortal Blade squad.

Squad Immortal Blade was just founded a year ago which is led by Bianka, and has a deputy leader held by Rita.

To be honest, even though she already knew that her older sister also had her own intentions of incorporating her into the Immortal Blade, Aurora didn't really care.

Just like Bianka and Thea who have their own reasons why they want to become a valkyrie. She also has her own goals that she wants to achieve.

"Turns out she was there."

Lifting her head to look up, Aurora could see Thea who was currently sitting on a high platform, silently staring at the moon hanging in the sky.

The moonlight illuminates her white hair, giving off a very soft reflection. Bending her legs together, and hugged her tightly, Thea currently looked like a princess being blessed by the moonlight.

So elegant, yet so lonely at the same time.

"It's so rare to see you get gloomy, are you homesick?"

Aurora opened a portal next to her, and she immediately stood next to Thea in the blink of an eye.

Noticing that around them was currently a thin barrier made of Imaginary energy, and prevented the night wind from entering. Aurora raised her eyebrows curiously.

Uses Imaginary shield as wind shield, interesting.

I will use it too.

Thea shook her head: "I'm not gloomy, I just want to enjoy the view of the moon in this place. Then how about you, can't sleep?"

Hearing this, Aurora clicked her tongue in annoyance: "Someone forgot to enter the stigmata room as agreed. Kiana there became very noisy, and I was forced to look everywhere for you."

"Ah?"

Was confused for a moment with what Aurora meant at this time. Realizing that Aurora was talking about her, Thea patted her forehead with apologetic eyes.

"My bad, I seem to have forgotten again. I'll be going in there right now."

Aurora shook her head, and she sat next to Thea quietly.

"No need to rush. I also have something I want to talk to you about."

"About what?"

Sit alone on the rooftop platform, and enjoy the beauty of the moon together. Aurora, who had made up her mind, dared to ask.

"If I summoned Bella now to this place, what would you say?"

" Benares? You want to summon Benares to Schicksal? What for?"

"Her name is Bella." Aurora corrected Thea's words very sharply.

Paused and looked at her little sister quietly. Thea thought for a moment, and she seemed to be starting to understand a little why Aurora wanted to go with her to Schicksal's headquarters.

It turns out that Aurora's goal has always been Bella. A Judgment-class honkai beast that had appeared in the second honkai war.

"There are a few things I don't quite understand. Bella's body is currently still in Siberia, frozen in the thick ice. Besides, if you want to summon Bella, then you can just summon her now since she is still following your orders."

Aurora looked at Thea with a look of a fool: "Then let her die again?"

Thea's mouth twitched: "What exactly do you want? Don't beat around the bush like an old lady. Tell me your true intentions."

"Hum! I was a woman to begin, no, I'm Herrscher! I mean, do you have a way to keep Bella from being targeted by the valkyries when she reappears?"

Hearing Aurora's question, Thea's attitude also started to turn serious, and she started thinking about a solution carefully.

"Bella's situation is very different from Sirin's. Schicksal has the Benares database records in their data which is very difficult to deceive the public eye."

"On top of that, Benares was very famous in the second honkai war because she had wiped out many valkyrie teams. Even though I saved most of them from the fate of death, there are still many valkyries here who hate her."

To put it crudely and simply, all the veteran valkyries wanted Benares dead.

"Even if I can persuade Otto to announce that Benares is harmless again, and was successfully tamed by us. Then Schicksal's reputation will be at stake here. The hearts of the valkyries will be in utter disarray."

Valkyries exist to eradicate Honkai. Their families and loved ones also died under the honkai's attack. So, wiping out all the honkai is normal, right?

If a third party appeared, and initiated provocative actions, then Schicksal would immediately enter a state of disarray.

Although this possibility was very small if Otto took over. Compared to the advantages of owning Benares, the gains were still so small that most people didn't want to take the risk.

"I knew this would be very troublesome... Tch!" Aurora gritted her teeth in annoyance.

Seeing her little sister in trouble, only to save Bella. Thea smiled, and she patted her head.

"Don't worry, there is still second sister here. You can leave everything to me."

"If you really want to save Bella, then I will help you. Big sis has the way. So, you just have to wait."

Seeing Thea's soft purple eyes, and her smile that could calm an uneasy heart. Aurora felt a little uncomfortable, and she took a few steps back.

"I don't need your help, I have my way. Besides, you are third sister not second sister, don't forget that." Aurora stared at Thea with eyes full of disdain.

Silent for a long time, because of Aurora's cold words. Thea's body shook, and she laughed out loud.

"Puh~! Hahahaha...~"

"...W-Why are you suddenly laughing?"

Thea shook her head: "No~ I'm just glad you understood the joke I made. Thank you Aurora, you make me feel better."

"It that a joke?"

This time, it was Aurora who fell silent.

The jokes you make really make me even more worried.

What's wrong with you...

You're not angry for suddenly becoming third sister?

Where did stubborn Thea go!?

"Whatever, I will go."

"Yeah, it's late. Good night, Aurora. We will meet again in stigmata room." Thea waved her hand lightly.

Seeing Aurora go straight into the portal without looking back. Thea also got up from where she was sitting, and she started to stretch the stiff muscles of her body.

"Well, looks like it's time to get to work again."

____

A month passed quickly, and their progress with the application of wearing the stigmata increased by leaps and bounds.

Aurora's words to her a month ago made her recall what meant the power of government.

If she has the same achievements as Otto, and is respected by many people. So when she wanted to free Benares, and take her under her wing. Then no one would dare to disobey her orders.

Otto's proposal to make her the leader of Schicksal doesn't sound like a bad thing.

But...

Thea will still reject this proposal.

This position was too dangerous.

She couldn't directly enter the snake nest residence, which had dangerous traps everywhere. She was afraid that her skin would be directly skinned inside and out without knowing what was really going on.

Compared to being the leader of Schicksal, Thea has other alternatives that she can choose for now.

"Become the Saintess of the Schariac house?"

Otto stroked his chin seriously: "Right, as you said, the identity of the Saintess can indeed help us in the spread of the Stigma project. But my friend, I want to ask you one thing."

"What makes you think that I would agree to induct you as a Saintess?"

"You know very well the current condition of Schariac's house, don't you?"

Otto saw Thea sitting in front of him with a playful smile.
