"Goddess, I'm very curious as to why He let you go and even allowed you to recruit believers and spread the teachings." Helia changed the subject and returned to the story just now.

"Is it because of your luck? You are the goddess of luck, so you must be lucky too, right?"

Sphentania smiled a sad smile, "Luck can never dominate a person, and neither can fate."

"I was unlucky that I failed to participate in that war of gods and divide up the power of Watsisi, which led to my defeat by Herzmanlita later on. But now, a thousand years later, I have met you who carries the authority of war, which is lucky."

"Although the power of my destiny was taken away from me, I still have the power of luck. Herzmanlita also spared my life. I have survived until now and am now one of the nine gods. Is this considered lucky?"

"Order kept me here because it was worried that something might go wrong with the Authority of Destiny. He could then throw the mess back to me. To Him, I am nothing more than a chess piece that may be useful and poses no threat."

"The reason I am here and have survived till now is not luck, but the power I hold in my hands. I gradually add chips to myself and improve my value, so that others can be wary of me or take advantage of me."

"Since you also understand that strength is the foundation of life, then why can't you understand my choice?" Helia looked at Sphentenia and smiled widely. "I am a greedy person. I also want to have power so that I can protect everything I want to protect."

"Even if it doesn't end well?"

"Even if it doesn't end well, I have no regrets."

"My mother dared to fight against God for me. I am her daughter and have inherited her will. How can I disappoint her expectations?"

"Besides, I am a greedy human being. I also covet the powerful force of the Falling God in my body. There is no one who does not covet power and authority. I am an ordinary person, so it is the same for me."

Sphentanya looked at Helia for a long time without saying a word, as if she saw someone's shadow in her, and she couldn't help but touch her cheek.

"Hertzmanlita is a god. You alone cannot fight him." He said, "Not to mention the order built by the lives of millions of people. The test of time has made it extremely solid. You cannot shake it at all."

"Give me your power, and I will help you realize your wish. I am much stronger than you can imagine, and I understand you better than anyone else."

Helia still shook her head. "I am not alone. There are thousands of hers behind me, including you."

"Until you are crushed to pieces or win a great victory, I will just watch from the sidelines." Sphentania said, "Not only me, but also the ones behind you. Even so, can you bear it?"

Helia smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I don't have much confidence in myself, but... someone has to be the first one, right?"

"Even if it's not me, it will be one of the millions of hers. Our voices have been buried for too long. One day, we will break through all obstacles and let the world hear our voices."

"If possible, you only need to invest a little bit of luck. Even if it fails, it won't affect you, right? This is a sure win business. Are you really not going to invest a little in it?"

"Sweet talk." Sphentania said so, but the smile on her face was revealed to Helia without any cover. His slender fingers gently touched Helia's forehead and pushed her to the ground. Before she lost consciousness, she only had time to hear the other party's last words:

"The goddess of luck will always look upon those who dare to defy fate."

The northern border station is located in the city of Satted, across a wasteland from the Xiali Empire. It is not only a military stronghold, but also a commercial center for trade between the two countries.

And Sutterd is firmly in the hands of Marshal Hawk. From the city defense layout and military construction to the eating, drinking, housing and transportation of civilians, all are under Hawk's surveillance. It can be said that Hawk is the king of Sutterd.

After a five-day and four-night journey, Helia finally arrived in Sarted before her sixteenth birthday. As Princess Helia, she moved into the city lord's mansion, which was also the tallest building in Sarted - Perkin Castle.

It was clearly April, the season of spring flowers, but Sutterde was as cold as winter. As soon as Blot opened the door of the carriage, Helia shivered in the cold wind that rushed in. But she couldn't stay in the carriage, so she put her hand on Blot's outstretched palm and slowly got out of the carriage with the help of the wind.

Her face was almost as white as the snow on the ground, and her bright red hair set off her fair skin, but this paleness revealed weakness and fatigue, which made people worry.

Ronnie considerately put a fur-collared cape on her and carefully tightened the collar to prevent wind from blowing in and causing her to catch a cold.

It was already dark when they entered the city. Due to Sutter's geographical location, the annual average temperature does not exceed ten degrees. It is even colder at night. There are very few pedestrians on the street. It is cold and deserted, with only the sound of the whistling cold wind.

But the scene inside Perkin Castle was quite different. It was decorated with lights and brightly lit. From a distance it looked like a lighthouse, guiding people home when they were lost in the snow and wind.

I heard that the castle had been preparing for them for a long time with great fanfare, especially for Helia's arrival. All the people in the castle were mobilized just to leave a good impression on Her Royal Highness the Princess.

But because of the fatigue from the long journey and her poor health, Helia went back to her room and went to sleep without even eating. Of course, she did not sleep well and had several nonsensical dreams intermittently. When she woke up, she did not feel refreshed, but even more tired.

I don't know if it was the blessing of the goddess of luck or something else, but Helia was finally able to take off her blindfold this morning. Her eyes returned to their original sapphire blue, clear and bright. It would be hard for anyone to hate such a pair of beautiful eyes.

Xia Sha, the head maid who served her personally, helped Helia to slowly get up and took her to wash up. Seeing that she looked tired, she asked with concern, "Your Highness, did you not sleep well last night?"

Helia rubbed her eyes and nodded, "I had a nightmare and didn't sleep well. Maybe I'm a little too attached to my bed."

"The Marshal and the young ladies and masters of the mansion are planning to hold a banquet to welcome you. If you are really tired, I will go and tell them to do it later, okay?" Xia Sha methodically directed the others to help Helia wash and dress up. Seeing that she was tired and couldn't hide her makeup, she suggested.

Helia waved her hand, rejecting her kindness. "It's okay. I feel much better now. I just didn't get enough sleep, so I'm a little tired."

When Helia walked into the dining room late, there were already five or six people sitting at the table. As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes fell on her, making her feel goosebumps all over.

The first seat was empty. That should be Hawke's seat. He should have eaten and left long ago. On his left sat his wife, the mistress of Perkin Castle - Iena. She was well maintained and didn't look like she had given birth to a child. At first glance, she looked only in her twenties.

Hawke has four children, three sons and one daughter. When Helia learned about this, she was shocked. Her uncle was still so vigorous at his age. He was so fertile, wasn't he?

Blot is the third child, with an older brother and an older sister, and a younger brother. It looks very lively when the whole family gathers around the table.

Helia was arranged to sit opposite Iena, just behind the main seat. As soon as she sat down, another person beside her pulled her hand over and shook it affectionately.

"You are Sister Aya. You have a pretty face. You are so pretty. The more I look at you, the more I like you. You are so cute. I should have entered the palace to see you earlier."

The woman holding her hand tightly had a handsome face, with thick eyebrows like swords, very bright eyes, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and her flamboyant red hair was neatly combed back. She had a righteous look. If it weren't for her towering breasts, Helia would have mistaken her for a handsome man.

On the way here, Helia had heard Blot introduce his family. She thought this must be Blot's eldest sister, Hilda.

"Sister, don't be so rude to Her Royal Highness the Princess." said the man sitting opposite Hilda.

His appearance is not as sharp as Hilda's, but he is as beautiful as Lady Iyena next to him. If Hilda inherited more from Hawke, then he looks more like his mother.

But he also had a bright and handsome appearance, and he was nearly nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His legs were longer than Helia's life, and his slim-fitting military uniform perfectly outlined his strong and full figure. With such a physique, no one would mistake him for a woman.

Oh my god! It’s a male mother!

The first time Helia looked over, she was attracted by the other person's bulging breasts. The buttons of her coat were stretched out by her plump figure and there were gaps. She really wanted to pinch them to see whether they were hard or soft.

This is Blot’s second brother Okalai.

"Oh, I'm just happy to see Sister Aya, please don't blame me, Princess." Hilda said this, but she was still touching Helia's hand like a hooligan, and the calluses on her hand made her feel itchy.

"Okay, let's eat first. I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't eat much on the way. She looks so haggard. She should take good care of herself here these days." Lady Iena said.

She and Hawke were young couples, and they have been together for decades, and they are still as loving as ever. She is not only Hawke's beloved wife, but also the apple of the eye of the Marquis of Cod. When the marriage between the two families was announced, it caused a sensation across the country, and even Claude sent his blessing.

The reason is simple. The family of Marquis Code are all very business-minded. They own several trading companies and are very rich. Antonio's family is an old-established noble family with a strong family background. They have been stationed at the border for many years and even have military power and are powerful.

How could the marriage between two heavyweight families not cause a sensation? Moreover, Claude had been keeping a close eye on them. They had money, power, and soldiers. They had all the conditions for a rebellion. How could he not keep an eye on them?

So much so that people were speculating whether a war was about to break out, which triggered a stockpiling rush. In the end, it was discovered that it was all just their imagination. Hawke was more loyal and honest than they had imagined, and he seemed to have never thought of rebellion.

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am." Helia responded politely, then picked up her knife and fork and started eating. The others also started eating at the same time.

Since Hawke was not here, she was the one with the highest status. Iyena didn't know Helia's temper, so she didn't dare to offend her casually, so she waited for people to come while she was hungry.

For breakfast, I made her favorite little puffs, which Blot must have specially asked for. There was also toast with special jam, which was toasted to a crispy edge. It was very satisfying when you took a bite of it, and her stomach, which had been hungry for a long time, was finally soothed.

Everyone ate in silence, but Helia enjoyed the quiet time when she could concentrate on the food. She waited until she put down her knife and fork and wiped her mouth before declaring that breakfast was officially over.

Lady Iyena was the first to ask hello: "Your Highness, you have worked hard on the journey. Did you have a good rest yesterday?"

"Very good. Thank you, Madam Laoyena, for your concern." Helia replied, then looked at the others and greeted them one by one: "Sister Hilda, Brother Okalai, Brother Blot, good morning."

"Oh! Good! Good! All good!" Hilda was very happy. She didn't know why, but she seemed to be very enthusiastic about Helia, even though this was the first time they met.

"Hello, brother Hulick." Helia looked at the child who was blinking his big eyes and looking at her.
