The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 166 - - Joint Journey

It's been sometime since the carriage had set off from the mansion.

I was lying by the window looking at the green scenery outside as the process of what I would be doing came to mind.

"What are you thinking that's so important?"

My eyes lazily wonder from the beautiful scenery to the extremely hot woman with red hair and crimson eyes. She was looking at me with such a beautiful smile that men would just take their heart out and give it to her. But to me, the smile seemed like a blade that would stab me in the heart with burning pain.

Veronica Blasphame sat before me in the carriage. Not only her, but her cold maid with looks that could rekill a dead fish was with her too.

When I was preparing to go out, she suddenly appeared and said that she had something to do where I was going and decided to go with me.

Hah… listen to her, deciding to go with me without even knowing that I might actually take her.

But I couldn't refuse her when she could be a vampire that could suck me dry with a simple move. So might as well play the gentlemen for the time being.

It definitely wasn't because she was beautiful and I wanted her company.

I smile, "Nothing, just thinking of what I will do in the academy."

"Oh Yes! I heard that you have won the Chancion Competition. That's an impressive feat, congratulations." She gave a fake or real smile that was too good to tell.

"Thank you… but I didn't win the competition. It got overthrown by a mad cult leader trying to recruit people for his idiotic cause." I said in plain anger.

"Yes and I heard that you defeated him with some help from other students."

"Well, I did have some effort in fighting him because of some help but defeating him…" A cruel smile comes to me, "That ain't happening… at least not with this pitiful strength of mine."

"Oh? So you didn't defeat him?" Veronica looked at me in confusion.

"No… it was only because of one woman that I am here today." I look outside as the image of the humangoes black ball comes to mind, "It was the queen."

"The Queen! By what can you possibly mean?"

Olivia couldn't help but get cracked from the inside as she saw her mistress giving the most dreadful of acting.

"The queen herself came and saved us who were still standing." I look back at her, "You know, she only used one move… one move to decimate the guy."

"Only one move?... you make it seem like the queen is an all-powerful witch or something."

"Hey, You're the one phrasing her like that but if you saw what I saw, then you probably wouldn't be giving names to her like that."

"Hmm… if the queen is like as you say, the she's quite powerful. Tell me, how did the queen look like to you?" Abigail said, her face coming closer to Henry.

"Black"

"What!" Abigail immediately backed away in shock.

'Black! I looked black to him!'

"I didn't see clearly but I think she was wearing black clothes; like the ones you're wearing." I point to her similar clothes before the image of that brief figure came, "About her face, that I can't say. She had a black veil covering her face. Still… she was quite hot."

"H- Hot!" Abigail felt a bit hot at that.

'How can so blatantly call me that!'

"How can you say something like that about your queen? You do know that she's married to the king, right?"

"Of course I do, but that doesn't stop a man from admiring a beauty can it? It's not like she's sitting right in front of me and I was flirting with her."

Abigail didn't know what to say about that. Even Olivia who had a cold look on her felt shocked at Henry's words.

"Forget about her, tell me about yourself?" I say, "What fascinates you, Mrs. Veronica?"

"Hmph! Trying to get close are we? I'll tell you but first you have to tell me about yourself." Veronica said lifting one leg over the other as her shallow black veil couldn't cover the pure whiteness of her legs.

"I just told you about me and you already know what you've wanted from my staff, but I don't know anything about you."

"That is true… alright then, I'll start. I like strawberry's." Veronica had a smile as she described, "A red juicy strawberry."

"Red huh?"

'Isn't that a coincidence.'

"Now tell me about yourself, what do you like?"

"Well, I like strawberry's too."

"Really?... or are you just trying to copy my answer to get some points?" Veronica tilted her head as a glint passed her eyes.

"It's a bit of both, I think."

She laughed at that, "You're quite bold you know. Flirting with a married woman like this."

'Teasing me to take a bite at you!'

"Who said I was flirting? I'm just trying to get to know the person that's sharing a mansion with me." She smiled at that.

"Oh… my husband wouldn't mind if it was jus-"

"Cough Cough!" Olivia coughed, breaking out banter as she reminded, "Mr. Tax, I thank you for your generous hospitality, but please refrain from making crude comments with my madam."

"You have a good maid in her." I say as she had a bored look.

"You don't know half of her stick."

"Madam!"

"Alright alright!'

"I'm sorry, Ms. Olivia, we were only joking here. I hope you don't mind." I said as Olivia emotionlessly looked at me before slowly turning away.

'Man, she's a tough nut to crack. Is she really her helpful familiar?'

The carriage came to a slow speed and a pocket hole opens as Raven's face is shown, "Sir, We're inside the city."

"Oh, okay then…"

I look at Veronica who responded, "Go to Gravil's Wine Store."

"Alright madam."

A while later, the carriage stopped at the wine store and Veronica got out with Olivia.

"Do you want me to wait for you at a specific place?"

"No, you can go on your own. I'll get a carriage." Veronica said and smiled, "Thank you for the fun journey, I hope we can do this again."

"A company like you… anytime you want."

After that Olivia dragged Veronica away as the carriage moved on to where I originally wanted to go.

"Alright, let's see it then. Yep, this is the place… I think."

I stood before a shop called Nilest Games House.

"Don't stray too far away from us and make sure to…" Raven gave specific rules to the driver and came beside me.

"Sir, Is this really the place?" Raven said as he understood what this place really was.

"For sure, it's because it's that kind, that I'm here. Let's go and try to blend…" I take a look at his furry look and idea went away, "Yeaaah, try not to do anythin… just stay quiet by my side."

Opening the door, loud chatter erupted out like gunfire.

"No this can't be!"

"I did it! I really won this match!"

"No… my 60 pounds… all down the drain." A man cried as he bent down to the table.

"HELL YEAH! I won over 100 pounds… I'm rich!" Another man said as he danced around.

Yeah… as you can guess by their chatters, this is a Gambling House.
