My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 67: His Mother!?

Out of curiosity, Rossweisse and Margaret followed their leader once again. Their minds had already wandered far and wide to imagine what their leader would do to that angelic princess in the hotel room.

"The best room for one night." Azrael put his card on the reception desk.

"Suite or VIP class, sir?" The receptionist blushed a little because the two people before her were the first-class beauty and prince to match.

"The casual room is fine." Ely responded when her disciple glanced at her.

"Then, one VIP class." Azrael nodded in understanding.

"Alright, one VIP room for one night. The double bed or twin bed, sir?" The receptionist gulped her saliva as she could guess something wild, but she still maintained her professionalism. This pair of young love birds would spend the night in a classy hotel as if this place were a love motel...

"Hmm..." Ely thought for a moment. Yuuki would return and spend the night with her, and Azrael was too shy to stay in one room with her. Since he didn’t book one more room, he still had business to take care of.

"The double one." Ely answered casually, but Azrael felt a bit surprised.

His expectations went wild as he thought his master would expect him to be there too.

"Alright, one VIP double room... May I know if you are a couple? I apologize for asking, but our hotel has regulations and rules." The receptionist pointed her hand at the big wood carving behind her.

The rules were listed. One of the rules prohibited people of different gender in one room unless they were a couple or family. After all, it was a hotel, not a brothel.

"He is my child. I think that’s fine." Ely nodded in understanding as she didn’t find anything wrong. They were not a couple but a family.

"E-eh?" The receptionist gasped in surprise. She never thought, even in her wildest dream, this gorgeous young lady was a mother of a child.

The said child was already a big boy, but the mother was still so young and beautiful! Someone with eternal youth. Regardless, her mind began to imagine the forbidden relationship.

"Wh-what!?" Rossweisse and Margaret were also shocked.

They didn’t know if it was real, but Lady Ely couldn’t be lying, and it was definitely not a joke. So, it was likely the truth. The one they thought was their love rival turned out to be his mother!

Their leader became a good boy with the perfect gentleman because he didn’t want his mother to see him in a bad light. It was not because he tried to deceive an innocent, angelic princess.

But... The vicious demon-like leader actually had an angelic and kind-hearted mother. How could it happen?

The receptionist felt embarrassed, but she still did her job well.

Azrael completed the payment and then handed over the key to his master.

"I need to handle some matters first, mother. Then, please have a good rest. I will be back soon." Azrael rubbed his head in confusion. He didn’t understand why this receptionist and his subordinates were overreacting.

His master was also his mother. So, their current identity was the mother and son.

"Um, thank you. I’ll head out in two hours. Will you come with me?" Ely raised her hand.

"Two hours. Alright. You guide my mother to her room." Azrael pointed at his people. This hotel was his, but in his other identity, so only a handful of people could recognize him. He would feel assured if his master rested here than anywhere else.

"Please follow me, my lady." The hotel attendant bowed respectfully and then guided the honorable guest.

After that, Azrael turned around. He dragged Margaret and Rossweisse away because they deserved punishment.

Ely read the report from Azrael. Her friend Evelyn also used a pseudonym, as Yuuki did.

Evelyn’s guise was Evie. Four years ago, Evelyn came to the Aubourus Empire and made connections with the local tyrants and the Imperial Family for a reason.

In those years, Evelyn was involved in several wars against monsters. She was known as the hero with the title Lightning Empress.

The Aubourus Empire’s Emperor tried to rope her in by marriage, but Evelyn refused. As an 8th Rank expert with extremely deadly lightning magic, nobody could force her to do anything.

Evelyn was more associated with the Temple of Law than the Imperial Family.

Sword Maiden Kirara was the one who truly helped Evelyn with her goal. In return, Evelyn needed to protect the Temple of Law and serve the Sword Maiden as the guardian knight.

Evelyn did grand magic research, and the Imperial Family gladly provided much funding support. Based on the news, Evelyn wanted to find someone or something with that grand magic.

"Why didn’t any of them manage to find me? Was it all my fault? Or maybe... Someone didn’t want them to find me?" Ely asked in wonder.

She was actually scared to face her old friends because she didn’t know what they might think of her after the years. People and their feelings could change over time.

However, she had a mission and desire to know more about her past. Every clue and help was greatly appreciated.

Yuuki didn’t want to tell much about her past and always said it wasn’t time yet. But she could ask her other old friend.

"Ely, I’m back." Yuuki entered the room through the window.

"Welcome back, Yuuki. May I know where you have been?" Ely put the paper down to greet Yuuki.

"I protected you from afar while looking for information about Evelyn." Yuuki sat beside Ely and adjusted Ely’s ice crystal hairpin. It was her secret weapon to protect Ely.

"Did you meet her?" Ely was curious.

"No, I was just observing her from afar. She has changed quite a bit. Anyway, we can meet her with an official visit today. She is attending the Dao Discussion in the castle, or we can meet her at this night’s banquet. Or, if you prefer, we can meet her in private." Yuuki looked at the Imperial Castle in the distance.

"Dao Discussion?" Ely tilted her head slightly, then double-checked the paper. She was sure she had read the information about it just now.

"Yes, Dao Discussion. The Imperial Family and their allies have gathered in this city to discuss the ancient secret realm. The Martial Competition was held only to disguise the truth about why so many renowned experts have gathered here." Yuuki stared at the castle in the distance.

"Is that so... Right now, I want to see her from afar first." Ely heaved a subtle sigh as she was feeling complicated.

Yuuki opened her mouth, but she swallowed back the words that were about to come out. She would go with the flow since this was the relationship between Ely and Evelyn. "Alright, we can visit the Dao Discussion any time. The event will be held until evening and conclude with a banquet."

"Alright, we’ll be leaving in two hours." Ely nodded in understanding while looking at the fortified castle in the distance.

Every time she looked at this capital city, especially that castle, it reminded her of the ancient city in a place known as Japan. The city from another world called Earth.

She probably had visited several worlds and lived several different lives...

Ely then shook her head as she didn’t remember much, even though she wanted to reminisce about her past.

She then remembered something and took out a set of clothing. "Yuuki, I sewed this for you yesterday. I forgot to give you this morning. Would you mind wearing this for me?"

"For me? Thank you, Ely. I will gladly wear it." Yuuki hugged that set of clothing.

After saying that, Yuuki immediately changed her clothes in the bathroom. She soon returned with a brand-new outfit.

The style was similar to Ely’s fox priestess outfit but in a bluish-white colour with blue outlines and some floral and nice prints. She wore white thigh socks and white shoes with sakura outlines.

"Ely, how do I wear this one? This outfit is like a yukata or your fox priestess outfit. It’s so pretty and nice, but am I wearing this correctly?" Yuuki had a hard time wearing her sakura-colored obi belt.

"Here, let me help you." Ely helped Yuuki to wear that outfit properly.

A few minutes later, Yuuki was no longer like a frozen cold beauty but the ice floral beauty with a tender impression.

"Wonderful." Yuuki checked her current appearance in front of the mirror. Ely truly measured her outfit to fit her sizes, including her underwear.

In this outfit, she felt her breasts were pressed and seemed smaller than they should be. However, she didn’t feel any discomfort.

"Do you like it?" Ely smiled in satisfaction as she saw Yuuki’s excitement.

"I love it!" Yuuki replied with a genuine smile.
