Chapter 438 Joy’s Issue Part 2
"What, Mama Lillia, you were not joking around!? Then what do I do!? I love papa!" Joy began to tear up, and Lillia could only sigh. She raised her hand and brought it down in a chop, chopping Joy on the head.
"You love him as a family member and nothing more!" Lillia replied sternly. She had spent almost two days trying to calm this girl down until she finally agreed and now…..
"But…" Joy looked at Blake with eyes of yearning as she reached out wanting to touch his head only for her to be pulled to the side. "Joy, you need to control your emotions. I know it is hard and this is all new to you but you need to control them."
Blake was very confused as to what was going on. He looked at Lillia who was currently scolding Joy and then at Noa who looked exhausted. "What is going on?"
"Her urges awakened a bit too strongly after her evolution. It took half a week to calm her down and then the other half to get the idea of her becoming your wife out of her head. But as soon as she saw you it seemed she couldn't contain herself…." Noa explained as she leaned over the couch to see Destiny staring back up at her. Noa smiled and reached down and pinched her nose causing Destiny to grin.
"So what should we do? Just so you know it will never happen." Blake stated firmly.
"We know!" Noa sighed as she leaned against the back of the couch. "It's just that we are unsure of what to do. Lillia and I can not fully get rid of those urges since we can only do so much with her."
"If I may make a suggestion." Ishtar stepped in. "I have many servants I can call over to tend to her needs if you need."
"Really!?" Both Lillia and Noa's eyes lit up. "If you do not mind that would be quite amazing but…. It's just that once they are bitten they will become Joy's playthings…."
Ishtar's eyes widened slightly, she did not know much about Blake's race so this was her first time hearing this. After thinking for a bit Ishtar still nodded. "We can ask a few of them if they are willing. Some of the girls are quite active at night with each other so it should be fine. They can even double as bodyguards as they are stronger than the guards who are posted at the palace's gates."
Of course, all the servants around her were highly trained and powerful. She would not surround herself with weaklings. After all, if some random god or goddess showed up, they would need to be sent away, which meant dealing with the pressure these gods or goddesses give off. Otherwise, they might be walked all over and allow an uninvited guest in.
"We can do it as long as they are willing. We do not like the idea of slavery. Everything must be voluntary. " Lillia did not want Ishtar to bring anyone who was unwilling.
"Understood. If you do not mind, is it okay to show an image of your daughter to my servants to help them decide?" Ishtar wanted to make sure everything was done in an open manner.
"That is fine. But no, guys." Lillia said firmly.
"I know." Ishtar smiled and looked at Joy, who was pursing her lips. She was young and full of life. Her cute face was pouting away due to not getting her way. She imprinted Joy's image in her mind to show her servants later. "Lillia, you should take a look at your other daughter as well. I think you will be very happy about her changes."
"Oh?" Lillia looked over at the couch to see a set of eyes peeking over the top of it at her. Her eyes slowly widened as she saw Destiny suddenly stand up, looking like a young woman. She looked just like she did when she was younger. "My baby has grown!"
"Hehe!" Destiny disappeared and reappeared in front of Lillia in a flash of golden light. She hugged Lillia before stepping back. "Some things happened, and Auntie Ishtar was able to turn me into a goddess."
"What!?" Lillia looked her daughter over, looking for any injuries before noticing the golden aura that emanated out of her that was like Ishtar's and Nanaya's. "How?"
"One of the wandering gods who like to play around, called Loki, tried to take your daughter's body during her evolution. I stopped her and took half her power as compensation. I then gave that power to your daughter." Ishtar explained. She then went into finer detail to reassure Lillia that things were not dangerous.
"I see. Ishtar, I am truly grateful that you helped my daughter. If not for you…." Lillia wondered just how crazy she would have gone if something had happened to Destiny.
"It's nothing. I do not wish for any harm to come to you and your family." Ishtar replied with a smile.
"Mama, I am back!" Nanaya's voice entered the room. She came in with a large wooden box. "I think this is everything."
"This is?" Noa asked.
"These are items to protect one's soul. In order to make sure no mishaps happen during your death and rebirth for astral energy, I had Nanaya retrieve these items." Ishtar explained as she pulled out a lantern with a blue glowing flame inside and a few other items.
"Hmmm? Why do I feel another god here?" Nanaya's brow furrowed as she looked around until her eyes locked onto Destiny. Her brow began to wrinkle even more before she turned and looked at her Mama, who quickly turned away, not daring to look at her daughter. "Mama! You didn't! Do you know how much trouble you will get into if this is found out!?"
"Who cares! Circumstances did not allow for anything else! Loki needed to pay compensation! Plus, I tossed her to some random place after I took half her power." Ishtar replied. "She wanted to hurt Destiny! How could I allow that!?"
"What!?" Nanaya slowly calmed her anger toward her mother as she took a deep breath. "Then it is fine…."
"See!" Ishtar humphed before walking over to Joy and tapping her forehead. Joy's eyes slowly began to close until she fell unconscious. "Lillia, I put her into a deep sleep that will allow her to be in a dream state. You should take her to a room and seal her off for now. I will go talk to my servants now."
"Huh? Ah right. Thank you!" Lillia really had mixed emotions for this mother and daughter duo that were starting to grow on her.
