The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!-Chapter 45Vol 1. : A long-lost family, a rare sense of security
"Ah, my dear Aeria, Mia, Vya, it's so good to see you safe!"
With an excited voice,
A man in his thirties with ash-blue short hair, surrounded by a glow of blue light, descended from the sky and landed directly on the transport vehicle.
Then, under Shestira's complex gaze, this second young master of the Anlosi family rushed into the carriage without a second word, opened his arms wide, and embraced Aeria and the twins.
"Hein Uncle?!"
Upon recognizing the newcomer, Aeria couldn't help but exclaim with joy.
Seeing a family member, her uncle, after such a long time, Aeria's long-tense heart finally relaxed for the first time.
The presence of family brought her a rare sense of security.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Aeria eagerly hugged Hein back. Although Mia and Vya were too young to remember their uncle well,
Feeling an aura somewhat similar to their mother’s, the two little ones didn't fuss and allowed Hein to embrace them together.
"Hein Uncle! How did you get here?"
After a brief hug, Aeria spoke excitedly.
"Of course, I came to find you. Are you alright? I heard you were captured by the Fallen Beasts. Were you hurt?"
"We're okay, just a bit... hungry..."
Covering her little stomach, Aeria said somewhat wearily.
Seeing this, Hein squinted thoughtfully:
"That makes sense, it’s been many days, and you need to replenish your energy. Don’t worry, little Aeria, your uncle will help you refuel right away. I’ve prepared many potions over there."
Saying so, Hein smiled and gently ruffled Aeria's hair.
Meanwhile,
After giving Hein and the Aeria sisters some time to reconnect, Shestira, who had been silent for a while, slowly spoke up:
"Lord Hein, excuse me for interrupting your intimate conversation with your nieces."
Though the words were polite, there was a subtle hint of wariness in Shestira's tone.
"What is it, Marshal Shestira?"
Hein slowly turned his head to meet Shestira's gaze.
"Lord Hein, weren't you discussing the plan to continue searching for Lady Liana with my deputy? How is that going?"
"Don’t worry, Marshal Shestira. The specific search plan has already been arranged. The Valkyrie troops you lent me are also actively cooperating in the search. However..."
Hein said meaningfully:
"To find my sister Liana more quickly, wouldn’t it be faster to ask for clues from Aeria and the others? Although I know you would inform me first after obtaining any clues, as you know, I am eager to find my sister... I don’t really want to wait."
"I understand, I understand."
Shestira responded with a forced smile.
Clearly, the Marshal was not keen on allowing Hein to interact with Aeria and her sisters.
Hein seemed to know this too, but his demeanor showed indifference. After briefly dealing with Shestira, Hein refocused his attention on Aeria.
"Aeria, do you know where your mother is now?"
"This, it’s not very convenient to talk about here."
Aeria said, looking down with mixed feelings.
"That so."
Hein nodded understandingly with a smile:
"Indeed, this isn’t a good place to talk."
While nodding, Hein cast a peculiar glance at Shestira standing behind:
"In that case, let's go home first, and we can talk slowly after we get back. Oh, and your grandfather has been very worried about you. He couldn’t sleep after hearing you were missing near the Enigmatic Abyss. He will be thrilled to see you safe."
"Grandfather..."
Murmuring the term softly, warmth spread through Aeria's heart.
Back when they were with the Anlosi family, aside from their mother... their grandfather was the one who doted on them the most.
Hearing that their grandfather hadn't been resting well, a wave of concern rose from the bottom of little Aeria's heart.
After all,
Grandfather was already old and not in good health. Not resting well could really wear him out.
Seeing Aeria’s concern, Hein chuckled and continued:
"So let’s hurry home, okay? Seeing you little ones will definitely let him sleep peacefully."
Saying so,
Taking Aeria's hand, Hein prepared to lead the three little ones away.
However,
This action, of course, was not something Shestira would allow.

As Hein turned around, Shestira immediately blocked the door,
"What are you doing, Lord Hein?!"
"What? I’m obviously taking my nieces home, Marshal Shestira."
Hearing this,
Shestira's expression darkened, and her tone became stern.
"Sorry, Lord Hein, but you cannot take them away."
"Why not?"
"Because it's a directive from the President."
"President Rabik’s orders?"
"Yes. The President has already ordered that after finding Miss Aeria and her sisters, they must be escorted back to the capital of the Alliance immediately."
"Heh,"
Hein chuckled, shaking his head,
"Interesting, so the President won’t even let me take my three nieces home to reunite?"
"Why wouldn’t he let you, do you not understand why?"
Shestira replied irritably.
Initially, out of respect, Shestira had maintained a certain level of decorum in dealing with Hein, letting many things go unspoken. But now? Hein had clearly positioned himself to take Aeria and the others away forcefully, how could Shestira continue to tolerate it?
"Lady Liana’s three daughters are bearers of the God-given power. Not only that, having inherited Lady Liana’s bloodline, they might be able to control the Sacred Stone in the future. You know what this means, right? These children are a gift from heaven to our Alliance. And your Anlosi family doesn’t have the capability to protect this gift."
"Not capable?"
"Did I speak wrongly? The President has already given your family a chance. But... look at what your family has been doing these years? If not for your family’s chaotic situation, these three children and Lady Liana wouldn’t have gone missing near the Enigmatic Abyss! Besides..."
Shestira’s eyes narrowed slightly, a chilling intent gradually emerging from her single eye,
"Who knows whether your Anlosi family truly wants to properly raise Aeria and her sisters."
"Oh? What do you mean by that?"
"What do you think I mean?"
Shestira replied sharply. No longer feigning politeness, Shestira no longer hid her disdain for the Anlosi family, her tone clearly hostile.
"Let go of the children and leave."
Shestira coldly issued a warning.
In response,
Hein shook his head bitterly:
"It seems, Marshal, that you are set on preventing our family reunion?"

"Let go of the children and leave." Shestira repeated coldly.
As she spoke, a threatening red glow slowly emerged in Shestira’s eyes.
The formidable aura of the Heavenly Martial Realm gradually emanated from Shestira’s body.
The atmosphere inside the carriage became tense. Feeling the oppression, Aeria and the others couldn’t help but tremble nervously.
However,
Facing Shestira’s oppression, Hein showed no intention of backing down, instead tilting his head and revealing a mischievous smile,
"Sorry, after thinking about it, I still need to take the kids home."
"Is your Anlosi family planning to defy the President’s orders?"
"The President’s orders?"
Hein scoffed, glaring coldly at Shestira.
"It seems the President wants to go against the will of the Heaven's Domain, huh?"
