Chapter 604: Chapter 243: Is Becoming a Dragon Knight Illegal?

"What’s going on?" The White Dragon King stood by the bedside, gazing at the reversed ascent of the sun on the horizon, falling into a brief silence.

As the companion of the Sun God, he could confirm that this reversal of the sun’s ascent was not the work of the Sun God. Most of the creatures in this world perceived time through the rising and setting of the sun, so even the Sun God wouldn’t dare interfere recklessly with its movements.

Otherwise, the Three Goddesses of Fate would hold him accountable.

"Who on earth tampered with the sun’s operation?" He contacted the Sun God, only to find that the Sun God had no idea either, merely realizing that someone had interfered with the sun’s cycle, causing it to rise again unnaturally.

"This kind of act is a blatant provocation to the gods."

There are many aspects of this world that must remain unaltered—for example, time must not flow backward, souls that enter Hell cannot escape, the sun must rise and set according to its predetermined rhythm, and the moon follows the same principle.

If someone were to interfere with these established orders, they would inevitably face the retribution of the gods. Tampering with the operation of the sun was nearly tantamount to disrupting the universal standard of time.

With this thought in mind,

the White Dragon King shot out of the window and opened the gateway to the high heavens. He intended to speak with the Sun God, now suspecting that the resurrected Sun Demon had meddled with the sun’s operation.

Meanwhile,

in the Church of Death.

"No wonder you’re so attached to Lionheart Castle," the doll-like girl placed her hands on her hips, glaring at Shark Girl Kashute who was seated in a chair, biting out the words:

"We’re supposed to be good sisters. Why didn’t you tell me Ahtal descended?"

"It’s not my fault," Shark Girl Kashute turned her face away, explaining to the doll-like girl, "As a subordinate, how could I divulge my superior’s whereabouts?"

"Do you think I would casually announce Lord Ahtal’s descent?" The doll-like girl grew angrier. She had always thought she had a closer relationship with Ahtal. During Ahtal’s weaker years, it was she who had protected him in secret and even destroyed an entire nation for his sake.

When it came to loyalty, she was second to none, yet Shark Girl Kashute had continually refused to disclose that she was accompanying Lord Ahtal.

"But wouldn’t you possibly inform the Witch of Death, wouldn’t you?" Shark Girl Kashute puffed out her chest and said, "But I, on the other hand, never willingly told anyone. Doesn’t that demonstrate my deeper loyalty to Ahtal?"

"You call that loyalty?" The doll-like girl laughed in anger, "What you have for Lord Ahtal clearly borders on improper intentions!"

She had long been aware of Shark Girl Kashute’s thoughts. From their first meeting, she had noticed Kashute’s interest in Ahtal. Later on, Kashute had even pretended to be a delicate woman clinging to Ahtal’s side.

But in truth, Shark Girl Kashute was ruthless when killing, with a prideful personality that knew no bounds.

"Improper intentions? That’s something I’d never act upon." Shark Girl Kashute crossed her legs and huffed lightly:

"Think about it—there’s no way I’d have the means to harm Lord Ahtal. How could I possibly...?"

"Then has Lord Ahtal harmed you?" The doll-like girl’s voice suddenly softened. She moved behind Shark Girl Kashute, placing her hands firmly on Kashute’s shoulders. "Does he do it often? Or only occasionally?"

Shark Girl Kashute fell silent for a moment, then fabricated an excuse: "I’m merely serving at Ahtal’s side. Nothing has ever happened."

The doll-like girl’s eyes narrowed slightly before she gave a faint, charming smile: "Lady Luwei wishes to meet you to discuss matters regarding Ahtal."

"Understood." Shark Girl Kashute stood up and walked toward the door, leaving the room in no time.

The doll-like girl remained where she was, lost in thought for a long while.

Originally, she hadn’t borne any traitorous intentions, but since Shark Girl Kashute could ascend in status, then surely, after protecting Lord Ahtal for so long and accomplishing so much for him, there was no reason she couldn’t rise as well.

Especially since she also retained memories of the future.

Meanwhile,

at the ancient castle by the sea.

Yijelika gently swirled the wine glass in her hand, her ruby-like eyes slightly intoxicated. While enjoying the view of the setting sun, she savored the delicacies personally prepared by her daughter and casually observed her daughter’s interaction with Ahtal.

By all rights, as the mother, she should have excused herself, leaving space for the two young people to court freely. However, her daughter and Ahtal insisted that she stay, leaving her no choice but to spectate their romance.

This feeling wasn’t bad at all.

She was quite content with the current situation—being able to see her daughter find love, accompanied by such fine wine and exquisite food.

Indeed, her daughter’s culinary skill was unexpectedly decent. No wonder her daughter was celebrated as a genius beauty in the Dragon Kingdom, a top student who had achieved near-perfect scores under its education system.

Her cooking was quite good—though still far from her own level. Yet with enough time, her daughter would eventually catch up in culinary prowess, no... she would surpass her, undoubtedly.

"Mother, are you drunk?" The white-haired Lolita set down her glass of juice, glancing toward her elegant and captivating mother, who was showing signs of intoxication from afar.

This maturity and grace were qualities she had yet to obtain.

"Drunk, but my mind is clear," Yijelika smiled gently, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she fixed them on Ahtal, who showed no signs of tipsiness:

"But he shows no signs of being drunk. Soon, he’ll be leaving."

"..."

Following her mother’s gaze, the white-haired Lolita saw Ahtal holding a knife and fork, calmly eating lobster, his eyes utterly clear—without the slightest hint of inebriation.

The wine served at dinner had been specially prepared by the Wine God Church. Theoretically, just a single serving was enough to intoxicate someone with awakened powers. Yet Ahtal, despite downing several glasses, displayed no signs of drunkenness at all.
