Chapter 246 What The Angel Is Trying To Say

As I stepped out into Listenia's shop and the portal closed, the sounds of arguing women filled the air, but it was coming from the Armor side of the shop, and Tallia had dropped me off on the Weapons side. It was Listenia and her mother arguing, which didn't surprise me, but there was a third voice, and it sounded like they were arguing with the third person. That one sounded like my Angel, but I couldn't figure out what she would be doing here.

"No, stop being a pest and just let me borrow her for one day! I know that Galio won't mind, and I am not asking to force her to do slave work!" Breya demanded as I walked to where the commotion was coming from, coming up behind Listenia.

"Good morning," I said as I kissed Listenia's cheek, making her whip around to look at me with a startled look. "Sorry, didn't mean to surprise you!"

"Good, you are here. This Angel is being annoying and won't leave my shop," Listenia explained, glaring at Breya, and I looked over at Elfinia and then at Breya.

"What do you want her for?" I asked, and Breya rolled her eyes.

"I can't believe that I even have to ask! I want her to come with me to get some stuff from my home! Since she is a Goddess, the Angels won't mind her coming with me," Breya explained.

"No, I am not going anywhere with the Seraphs around when I am like this! You know what they will be like!" Elfinia snapped, and I put up my hands to stop everyone.

"Elfinia can't come with you because I will be taking Claire and her with me today," I explained, still standing behind Listenia, who looked back at me.

"You are leaving?" Listenia asked, but Elfinia spoke up.

"Who asked me if I wanted to?!" Elfinia demanded, and I gave her a raised eyebrow.

"No one did. I am telling you that you are coming with me to Torrian, and that is it," I explained, but Breya put her hand to her chest.

"What is the reason for going to that frozen cesspool?" Breya asked with a concerned look on her face.

"Tallia asked me to take a trip over there and help with the election that is going on right now and to help them hunt better and make other kinds of foods," I explained, and Breya nodded slowly.

"Hmmm, I guess that you would be the best to deal with this, but I am concerned. Why are you taking the Goddesses with you?" Breya asked after a moment of thumbing her chin.

"Tallia said it would be good. I'll be taking Eliza, Daphne, Velma, Skylar, and possibly Chili if she wants to come," I explained, and Breya flinched, making me frown. "What was that about?"

"What is wrong with that Goddess? Tallia is usually more thoughtful than this!" Breya said in a concerned tone, making my frown deepen.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, but it was Elfinia that spoke up.

"What the Angel is trying to say is that it is dangerous there, and it is strange to take a bunch of people with no combat experience with you," Elfinia said, crossing her arms.

I had assumed that it was worse than Tallia said, but seeing the looks on everyone's faces made me realize that it was way worse than I thought.

"Alright, well, we can talk about this on the way there. Are you ready?" I asked as I looked at Elfinia, who nodded. "Good, let's go."

"Hold on for a minute! If I can't get help now, then I will come with you, if you don't mind. I think that you should have at least one person besides yourself to watch over the girls if you are busy. I don't approve of this, but I do agree that something needs to be done," Breya said, and in truth, it didn't hurt my feelings to have her come along with us.

"Sure, if you have the extra time. I have to stay there for a while just so you know, but you can leave any time that you want," I explained, and then Listenia turned around to face me.

"If you need, I can also come along," Listenia said, but I shook my head and leaned in to give her a soft and slow kiss.

"No, Beautiful. You have your shop here, and I will make sure to come by and visit while I am gone," I explained, and Listenia nodded, hugging me, and I kissed the top of her head. "Alright, let's get going. I really hope that the crowds will leave me alone today. Starting to get tired of getting mobbed every time I step outside."

"They won't bother you if I am with you," Breya said as she opened the door outside, and I frowned as I walked over, trying to slip an arm around Elfina as I did, but she ducked and then darted out the door.

"Why is it that?" I asked as I walked up to Breya, but Listenia answered.

"That is because she is an Angel and an irritable one at that. People with half a mind know better than to get mixed up with an Angel; you just happen to be one of the few people that this one actually likes," Listenia explained.

"Well, excuse me if we don't like most people. It is not our fault that you all can't tell the truth, and we are forced to see it. What do you think would happen?" Breya said, turning up her nose at Listenia, who just shrugged.

"This is what I mean, but I am sure that you will be fine walking. Be safe, and make sure not to hang any dignitaries out any windows," Listenia teased, and I rolled my eyes.

"You hang a Queen out of a window, and no one seems to want to let it go," I gripped with a grin, running a hand through my hair as I walked out of the building.
