500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 135 Release The Skylar!

"... and? What does she say?" I asked, not really sure what that meant. I talked.

"None of us can remember what happens other than it is a language we can't understand. I blacked out almost instantly. Whatever Denise is, she is far greater than all of us. From what I can tell, she cares nothing about the world and is there simply to hand out eggs," Claire explained, and Breya leaned back into me as the fire crackled.

"That is the general consensus, but many people have many different theories about Denise," Breya said as she pulled my arms up and knitted her hands with mine.

"How did she get her name? If the woman knocks out whoever she meets, then who gave her the name?" I asked, and I felt Breya tense at my question.

"That was Xena, the last reincarnate, like you. That also makes me wonder just how good this Denise really is. At the same time, I find it almost impossible for the same person that hands us the people of the world to try to destroy it. I try not to think about that part now. A lot of the old theories are starting to sound less like theories," Breya said with a shiver.

"Can I just tell you the theories, and then you tell me if I am telling you the truth?" I asked. "I had thought about this before, but I didn't think it would work."

"You are right; it would not work. My ability to tell the truth only works if I have knowledge of proof of your claim. Since you would have nothing in your mind that would say if it was the truth, there is no way that would work," Breya explained, and I nodded.

"Makes sense. Well, at some point, I will have to see if one of the Goddesses will take me there," I said just as Eliza came walking out of the house.

"Senna still isn't back yet, so she is going to be sweating and upset when she does get her," Eliza sighed as she came out and took a seat on one of the two other open couches. There was literally no room on this one.

"Couldn't you just leave her be?" I asked, but Eliza shook her head.

"No, or no one is going to get any sleep, and I am not waking up to someone standing in the corner of my room in the middle of the night! Skylar is cute, but you startled her, and now that is going to make her all crazy! I told you, so now we have to get her and bring her here to talk to her. She is the type of person to obsess over things but be constantly filled with doubt," Eliza explained.

"So then, what do you have to do? Bring her back here, and then I talk to her?" I asked, and Eliza snorted.

"Maybe an hour ago, but at this rate, Senna is just going to hog-tie Skylar and toss her in the guard house to deal with in the morning," Eliza giggled, and I frowned with a shocked look.

"Isn't she a princess?! Are you supposed to treat them a bit better than that? I mean, she hasn't even done anything wrong yet, right?" I asked, and Breya laughed.

"If you enjoy having a peaceful sleep, you will let the girls deal with Skylar how they see fit. You have to remember, she is a nymph, and while she is very shy, she has set her eyes on you. Skylar's natural instincts will drive her to be with you, but her hyper-shyness is going to repel her. You have to see how this might make a person a bit crazy," Breya explained, and I sighed.

"Well, I am just going to have to trust that you all know what you are doing, or if you don't, I am not involved," I said, trying to clean my hands.

"You are the reason why we are trying to kidnap her!" Eliza declared.

"That's because I didn't know!" I protested.

"Then you had better get learning! I didn't know it was only going to be an acceptable excuse, you know. At some point, you are going to have to put effort into learning. You can just go around pointing at things and saying they look shiny!" Eliza declared, and I smirked. "What are you grinning about?"

"Just cute to see you being the one to berate me about not paying attention, but you are right. I can't keep on walking into the wall with my eyes closed and blame others for not guiding me. I will try to be a bit keener about things," I chuckled, and Eliza rolled her eyes just as the back door to the manor banged open.

Everyone turned to see that it was Senna, sweating, carrying a squirming sack, and looking livid.

"So you finally found her? I am surprised she is still on your shoulder and not being kicked at this point!" Eliza giggled, and Senna scowled, lowering the squirming sack.

"If Galio didn't like her, I surely would have! I broke two windows with my bolas trying to catch her! I am sure we will get bills in the morning for the repairs," Senna explained hotly, and Eliza winced at that.

"Oye! All for a good night's sleep! I hope you are happy!" Eliza growled, glaring at me, and I threw my hands in the air.

"You should have just let me go get her!" I declared, and Eliza's eyebrows lifted in challenge.

"Oh? You would have gone to kidnap her if I asked?" Eliza asked, and I frowned.

"No, I wouldn't have had to kidnap her! I would have brought her back here of her own accord!" I declared, and Elixa just up, and Breya jumped off my lap.

"Really?! You think so?! Senna! Release the Skylar!" Eliza declared like some dramatic villain.

"What?! What do you mean release?!" I asked, but Senna was already opening the sack.

"You think this job is so easy? I would like to see how fast you can catch Miss Skylar here!" Eliza declared, and there was a streak of blue that came from the bag, and Skylar was gone.
