Chapter 503: Chapter 32: Teacher, Marry Me!

Late at night, the Temple of the Moon Goddess.

Luo En sat in the empty council hall, deeply engrossed in reviewing the piles of official documents on the table.

Normally, this duty would fall to his diligent student Atalanta, but since Her Majesty the Queen was still fast asleep in bed due to the power of the God of Love, he, as both her teacher and the one to blame, had no choice but to temporarily take over and maintain order in Arcadia.

After being busy for a while, he finally managed to catch up on recent backlogged affairs. Luo En breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest, his mind beginning to miss the days when the Twins were around.

Despite the legend of betrayal associated with Gemini, the twins possessed undeniable capabilities as the officially designated heirs to the throne of Sparta. Whether in matters of military and physical prowess or administration and education, their performance stood out among their peers.

With these brothers under his command, Luo En could save a great deal of effort even if he were forced into active duty.

Unfortunately, the two brothers had left a few days ago with their sister Helen for Thessaly to aid King Admetos in combating the stirring tribe of Cottus–the giants.

The fact that Apollo himself had issued this oracle proved not only the significant standing King Admetos held in the heart of the God of Light but also suggested that the situation in Thessaly was likely dire.

Cottus…

Luo En murmured this name, pressing a hand against his somewhat swollen brow.

If he remembered correctly, the third great mythological war that concerned the survival of Olympus–The Gigantomachy–was provoked by these giants.

As this was a turning point decreed by “Fate,” and considering the efforts Apollo’s faction had made in defending Arcadia, it seemed he would indeed have to make a trip to Thessaly.

“Tsk!”

As Luo En pondered, the warning runes of Hermes buzzed and shattered, and he opened his eyes to look at the gently pushed-open door.

Under the rich night, a graceful figure stepped in with light footsteps.

The moonlight spilling through the window speckled the room, faintly illuminating the silhouette of the newcomer.

Recognizing the distinctive feline ears, Luo En immediately knew it was his diligent student, Atalanta.

“Awake?”

“Cough, yes…”

Atalanta answered nasally, her eyes involuntarily glancing upward, observing the beam structure overhead.

Luo En casually changed the subject, trying to break the subtle awkwardness between them.

“Just you? What about Medea?”

“She hasn’t woken up; she’ll probably sleep for a few more days.”

Atalanta snorted softly, recalling the seven days and nights of battles where she took on seventy percent of the injuries, and not without a twinge of disdain for her incapable teammate reflected in her eyes, she rubbed her sore bottom.

“If she can’t handle this much, she’s really too frail.”

“Medea is indeed weak!”

Luo En nodded in agreement, mockingly chiming in.

“Even as a mage, she shouldn’t be this feeble. I’ll make sure she gets some training when we have the time!”

Training?

Atalanta unconsciously licked her somewhat dry lips, her cheeks flushing with an unnatural red.

Seeing his student possibly misunderstanding, Luo En quickly coughed to divert the topic.

“You’re awake just at the right time. I was worried about how to manage Arcadia’s affairs.”

“Is there a problem?”

“There’s some trouble in Thessaly. The Twins of Sparta have already followed Chief God Apollo’s oracle, heading there with their sister Helen. I’m a bit worried about them, so I’m planning to go and see for myself.”

Listening to her teacher’s explanation, Atalanta nodded thoughtfully.

“We should help. Apollo and the Spartan Twins have made great efforts to help Arcadia through tough times. Now that our neighboring states are troubled, we indeed should contribute our strength.”

Having declared her stance, Atalanta couldn’t help but show a troubled expression.

“But as you know, Arcadia has just been hit by the Beast Disaster. With everything still to be rebuilt, I’m afraid I can’t leave and accompany you.”

“That’s alright, Medea and I will be enough. You stay and oversee the situation in Arcadia, and we can plan further once things stabilize.”

Luo En tenderly looked at his student, a doting glimmer warming Atalanta’s heart.

Throughout her life, no matter the trouble she faced or the lows she encountered, this supremely powerful teacher had always been her staunchest support and most reliable pillar.

If only she didn’t have to be the queen, she could have stayed by her teacher’s side, free from the need to think or from the trouble of weighing pros and cons.

As the thought of soon having to part ways arose, Atalanta felt a twinge of regret, even starting to miss the carefree days before she had become queen.

Unfortunately, it was a mission entrusted by Lord Artemis and she couldn’t bear to abandon the Arcadian people who trusted and relied on her.

If only someone else could take up this responsibility for her…

As Atalanta pondered this, her eyes swept over the diligent figure behind the desk, and an idea sparked.

“Teacher, we will part ways in a few days. I have a request, and I hope you will grant it.”

“A request? Uh, does it need to be so formal? Just say what you’re thinking.”

“Promise me first!”

“Alright, alright.”

The teacher, indulgent towards his beloved disciple, nodded helplessly and casually asked.

“Tell me, what do you want?”

In the luminous moonlight, the Queen of Arcadia looked solemnly at her teacher and earnestly spoke.

“Lord Artemis above, I wish you to grant me a child!”

“Pfft!”

Luo En, who had just taken a sip of tea, suddenly spit it out, his face filled with astonishment.

“A, a child?”

“Yes, to be frank, I do not wish to be queen, nor be bound by the mundane rules, but I cannot abandon the people of Arcadia. So, the best solution is to have a child, nurture her well, and let her succeed me as the new ruler of Arcadia.”

Atalanta honestly shared her thoughts, her gaze burning intensely as she looked at her teacher.

From both a personal and practical perspective, her teacher was an ideal breeding partner.

He not only possessed exquisite bloodlines but also had vast knowledge and handled affairs with ease.

If he were to extend the royal lineage for Arcadia and raise the child, she could comfortably resign and live the life she wanted once the child grew up.

The more Atalanta thought about it, the more perfect the plan seemed to her, and she couldn’t help but step forward, bathed in moonlight.

As she walked, the current Queen of Arcadia removed her hunting gear, shedding her armor piece by piece. Under the cover of moonlight, her statuesque, muscular body gleamed softly.

Under someone’s nurture, his student seemed to have shed her initial greenness and became even more stunningly beautiful.

However, Luo En glanced at the temple directly across the council hall and the statues placed within it, swallowing nervously with a sense of unease.

“We’re still in the Temple of the Moon Goddess; this isn’t right, is it?”

Atalanta pressed down her teacher who tried to rise and flee, the fire in her eyes seeming to burn even fiercer.

“Extending the royal authority of Arcadia is indeed a task bestowed by the Goddess herself; she surely won’t mind. Moreover, Lady Artemis is not only the Hunting Goddess but also governs midwifery, fertility, and abundance, so having her witness and bless our child would be even better, wouldn’t you agree?”

As is well known, the desires and rebellious spirits of feline species are rather strong.

In the original mythology, Atalanta left behind the tale of battling with her husband for three days and three nights in a goddess’s temple, which resulted in her being transformed into a lion.

Clearly, the fate that had deviated was repairing itself to some extent, creating an even more delicate situation than previously imagined.

Before Luo En could react further, his whole body along with the chair behind him was toppled to the ground.

Then, a cat-like creature under the moonlit night could no longer restrain her deeply buried love and desire to break through taboos, and she pounced without hesitation.

Skin pressed against skin, their bodies intertwined, and the atmosphere beneath the desk suddenly turned fiery, accompanied by the sound of tearing clothes. Luo En resignedly lay on the cold floor, his voice dry, filled with a mix of pleadings and slight resentment.

“Gentle, gentle! Don’t bite, I’ll do it myself!”

But soon, that insignificant resistance and the attitude of seeming refusal yet consenting were shredded by the rampantly passionate feline creature.

The long night continued, filled with intertwined cries of despair and sounds of collision resonating in the bright moonlight, filling the entire Temple of the Moon Goddess.
