Mommy Villainess

Chapter 311: Alliance of the Priestesses

LUNA was amused when she found Solenn Rosenberg, the Sun Priestess of the Fire Mage clan, waiting for her in the shrine of the Red Phoenix.

She could tell that the Sun Priestess was waiting for her because she prepared tea for two on the tea table that was also meant for two people. Solenn was alone, and it was too late for her to accept visitors. Thus, she could only conclude that the Sun Priestess felt her arrival.

"You've finally come to meet me," Solenn said to her, smiling warmly. She couldn't say if it was genuine or not. After all, the Sun Priestess was good at hiding her true intentions. "I got sad when you didn't visit me the last time you were here."

The Sun Priestess must be speaking of the time that she paid a visit to Kalel Moonchester.

"My name is Luna, Solenn Rosenberg," Luna said as she entered the shrine completely. After being invited, she sat down on the chair opposite Solenn. "I'm surprised that you didn't know my name yet."

Solenn smiled, then she put the teacup down on the coaster before she faced her properly. "I apologize but the Moon Priestess that I'm acquainted with was the one that you killed."

Okay, that surprised her a little.

Of course, she already knew that Solenn would be aware of the death of the real Moon Priestess. After all, the different priestesses that served different gods had a strange connection. But even though she knew that, she didn't expect the Sun Priestess to say it to her face.

"I like your guts, Solenn," she said, then she sipped her tea before she continued. "Aren't you going to ask me why I killed the real Moon Priestess?"

"It's none of my business," the Sun Priestess said casually. "But I wouldn't say that the other Moon Priestess was the real one because that would imply that you're a fake."

"Oh, you don't think I'm a fake?"

"Of course not," Solenn said while shaking her head. "Ever since time immemorial, there have always been two Moon Priestesses. After all, there are two lords that govern the moon."

She slowly clapped her hands and it wasn't because of sarcasm or anything like that. She was just simply amazed by the Sun Priestess's knowledge about the moon when she was a Child of the Sun. "I'm impressed, Solenn."

The other priestess just smiled, then she sipped her tea. "If you're here, does it mean that the Moon Serpent has been reincarnated now?"

To be honest, answering the Sun Priestess's question would either kill her, or help her survive from the wrath of the Moon God.

She wouldn't say that she trusted Solenn completely. Even though she seemed like a good person, she still couldn't be trusted because she served the sun. But frankly speaking, she didn't have any other choice but to bet on the Sun Priestess anyway.

Between Solenn and Kyro, she'd rather be on the Sun Priestess's side.

"I was just in the Plane a few months ago," she began the story carefully. She could see the sudden interest in the Sun Priestess's eyes, so she continued with more confidence now. "As I expected, the Mistress of the Plane locked up the Moon Serpent's soul to prevent him from being reincarnated."

The Sun Priestess's eyes widened in shock. "Then, how do you plan to help the Moon Serpent get reborn? The Plane is the only place that could do that, Luna. If the Plane is somehow controlled by the people or the gods that didn't want the Moon Serpent to be reborn, then it's over for you now."

"I wouldn't risk my life if it's already too late, Solenn," she said firmly. "When I was at the Plane, I met the Sun God."

Solenn let out a soft gasp. "The Sun God?"

She nodded firmly because she continued with her story. "I won't tell you the details because I don't have the time to explain," she said in a hurried voice. She could feel that the Fire Archmage, Solenn's father, had been notified by someone of her arrival. In just a few minutes, the other Fire Mages would show up. And she didn't want to talk to them. Solenn as an ally would suffice. "All you need to know is that the Sun God found a way for the Moon Serpent to be reborn and the plan includes Soleil Rosenberg and Kalel Moonchester."

This time, the Sun Priestess didn't look surprised. "I saw in my vision that Kalel Moonchester is going to be either the savior or the destroyer of our clan. To be precise, his fate would depend on how his marriage with our Soleil would turn out. Does it have something to do with the Sun God's plan for the Moon Serpent to be reincarnated?"

"Yes," she said with a firm nod. "Soleil Rosenberg and Kalel Moonchester have to get married and conceive the Moon Serpent as their child."

Solenn's eyes widened in shock. "Soleil and Kalel Moonchester have to conceive the Moon Serpent together? Then, it means that the Moon Serpent will get reincarnated as their son?"

"Yes, exactly," she said with a nod. "Crazy, isn't it?"

"That would be an understatement."

She just laughed it off.

The Sun Priestess, who still seemed to be shocked by what she learned, sipped her tea again until she finished it in one gulp. "Are you here to convince me to work with you?" she asked while putting the teacup down on the coaster. "Do you want us to play matchmakers for Soleil and Kalel Moonchester?"

"To be honest, I don't want to do this," she confessed. "I still don't trust Kalel Moonchester. I can't tell if he knows what's going on among the main gods or not. If he happens to be aware and he's on his father's side, then his union with Soleil will become your clan's downfall."

"That's true," the other priestess agreed with her. "But it seems like our Soleil is already in love with the Black Serpent. What if we're too late to stop her feelings for Kalel Moonchester?'

"I already considered that so I made a move recently," she assured the Sun Priestess. "I gave Soleil subtle clues about how she shouldn't trust Kalel Moonchester."

"Did it work?"

To be honest, she already hid from Soleil and Winchell after she provoked the Fire Mage princess.

But she heard what Soleil told her brother then.

"Soleil said that she'd save Kalel Moonchester," Luna said, then she let out a sigh. "She seems to be really in love with the Black Serpent."

"We have no choice but to support Soleil if we can't stop her anymore," Solenn said while shaking her head. "And we should keep an eye on Kalel Moonchester as well."

"WHAT?" Auro asked in shock after he heard what Yumi, in her white snake form, reported to him. "Would you repeat that, Yumi?"

He had just returned to the Royal Capital of Kalel Kingdom as a war hero.

Right now, he was in his room while changing his clothes for the banquet later. When he felt the White Snake's presence, he asked his maids and servants to leave. And now, he was alone with her.

As he sat on the sofa, Yumi coiled her body around his arm.

"I heard the conversation between the Sun Priestess and the new Moon Priestess," Yumi said. Yes, she could talk like a normal human even in her snake form. After all, she was the 'Mother of Snakes.' That fact was also the reason why the Sun and the Moon Priestess weren't able to notice her presence. "The Sun God is currently at the Plane. And somehow, he managed to find a way to bring back the Moon Serpent by using my precious Nystrom and that wench Soleil Rosenberg."

He laughed bitterly, awed by the Sun God's quick and thinking, and mad that the very thing that could kill him would return soon. "So, they plan to use my brother and Soleil Rosenberg to conceive the Moon Serpent?"

The White Snake hissed. "I won't allow it!" she said firmly. "I won't let that wench marry my little Nystrom let alone to have a child with him!"

"I also won't allow that to happen, Yumi," he said seriously. "I won't let Kalel and Soleil Rosenberg become instruments for the return of my executioner."

"Then, what do you plan to do?" Yumi asked impatiently. "I don't want to admit this but Soleil Rosenberg's feelings for my son aren't one-sided." She hissed again. "It seems like my precious Nystrom is also infatuated with that wench."

"We're going to stop them from conceiving the Moon Serpent together," Auro said firmly, then his jaw clenched in annoyance. "But if we fail to do so, we will kill the monster that Soleil Rosenberg will carry in her womb."

NOTE: I don't know what else to say but sorry. I'm really sorry for suddenly taking a hiatus here without telling you in advance. My brain suddenly stopped working for Mommy Villainess just when we're at the final arc.

But my brain is working properly again.

I'm back.

And I'm here to finish the story now.

I hope you forgive me for the sudden break. I didn't mean to make you feel abandoned. I'm really sorry. :<
