Do you all know the future?

Chapter 117 Abundant Harvest
Feeling Diane's embrace, Mrs. Eve's face flushed instantly.

She was big, and Diane was small, but she was like a wild beast tethered to a small stake, with no intention of escaping.

"Your Majesty, please have some self-respect!"

He scolded her and pushed Diane to leave, but Diane not only didn't back down, she hugged him even tighter.

"It was clearly Mrs. Eve who seduced me first. She was so intimate with me, it made me have inappropriate thoughts!"

Diane shifted all the blame, even though Eve's seduction was indeed a factor, he genuinely liked this great woman.

"I... that is..."

Mrs. Eve couldn't explain it clearly, but it was indeed she who took the initiative to seduce him, in order to dissuade others and to maintain Diane's connection with her daughter.

"Now that I'm captivated by you, Mrs. Eve, I'll naturally give up on Miss Lotina!"

Diane was impressed with her impromptu performance, which had achieved three goals at once.

He explained and rejected Lottina, completed the task given to him by the head maid, and confessed his feelings to his beloved Lady Eve.

"I am a widow..."

"We'll just be lovers."

"..."

Mrs. Eve felt like she was going crazy. Diane's words were very harsh, and she was powerless to refute them.

It was originally intended to mediate between Diane and Lortina, but unexpectedly, she got herself involved, getting herself into the mess while worrying about it.

It's no longer about Diane and Lortina, but about her and Diane; Diane loves her.

"Has Mrs. Eve been teasing me all along?"

"That's not what I meant..."

When it was Mrs. Eve's turn, she said she didn't mean it that way.

What does that mean?

Diane asked the question knowing the answer already.

"I……"

Thinking back to her conversation with her daughter, Mrs. Eve felt a little embarrassed that she had to take the lead herself; it was all too sudden.

"Mrs. Eve, you won't just flirt and run away, will you? I still remember how you used to hold me in your arms and how you kissed me."

Diane continued, saying that it wasn't just a passing fancy; she had always felt a much stronger liking for Mrs. Eve than for Lottina. Mrs. Eve also exuded a sense of conquest, arousing a desire to explore.

"That's just a mother-in-law showing affection to her son-in-law, don't overthink it!"

Mrs. Eve instinctively chose an evasive answer. Although she had seriously considered becoming Diane's lover, she lacked her usual social graces.

She was so indifferent back then because she thought Diane was her future son-in-law, but now that her so-called son-in-law has become a man, her status is different.

"Which son-in-law is always being hugged and kissed? Is he a son-in-law or a lover? I've always aimed to become my wife's lover."

Since the attack had already begun, Diane pressed her advantage and kissed the beautiful woman's cool skin.

"You bastard, let go, you filthy thing..."

Mrs. Eve trembled, lowered the snake tail to Lotina, and reached out her delicate hand to hold Diane back, not daring to hurt him.

“My daughter is watching.”

With her eyes bright and clear, the beautiful woman's reproach had a unique charm. Diane raised her head, a smile playing on her lips.

Lotina was indeed watching, and seeing her mother's body tremble, she probably understood that Diane was not being honest, and a slight displeasure rose in her heart.

Her heart should have been as pure as crystal, but at this moment, Lotina felt uneasy.

She felt inferior to her own mother, and although she shouldn't care because her mother didn't like Diane, she still started to care.

"You haven't said yes yet, will you be my bedmate, Mrs. Eve?"

Her voluptuous body felt very comfortable to hold, and Diane could sense Mrs. Eve's wavering.

"It itches, don't blow on it on purpose, Prince An, His Majesty is still here."

Lady Eve glanced at the Queen, who had been watching the drama unfold, and looked to her for help, as if to say, "Control your husband."

"Darling, that's enough kissing. Blowing on it is ticklish. Eve, bear with it. You're just so naughty."

Her Majesty the Queen's encouragement stunned Lady Eve. She wanted to dissect the Queen's head to see if the Queen was ill, that her own man was begging another woman!

Putting aside love, even for the sake of appearances, Her Majesty the Queen should have said something, but I never expected her to be so indulgent.

"Doesn't Lady Eve want the Holy Blood? I want to give Lady Eve the Holy Blood..."

Lotina seemed too embarrassed to make a move, so Diane let out a seductive voice.

"I'm alright, as for the Holy Blood and all that, I actually..."

Lady Eve's cold, serpentine eyes darted left and right. Lady Eve didn't have a strong desire for the Holy Blood, but it wouldn't be right to say she had no desire at all; she was in a state of wanting it but being too ashamed to do so.

She glanced at her daughter, feeling a strong sense of immorality at competing with her for a man, and her tone became hesitant.

Diane and Lottina had no relationship whatsoever, and Diane didn't even like Lottina. But the thought of having once brought them together made Mrs. Eve feel an immense sense of guilt envelop her, like she was drowning and couldn't breathe.

"If you want it, go for it. Why do you care about me? Anyway, Mom, you like him so much."

Despite feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Lotina's expression remained calm. She seemed to have seen through her mother's predicament and then directly cut off her mother's path of using her as a pretext.

"I knew Mrs. Eve liked me, otherwise why would she let me take so many advantages!"

Encouraged, Diane nuzzled against Mrs. Eve's smooth, fair skin with the tip of her nose, while Mrs. Eve trembled and remained silent.

She was completely under Diane's thumb, mainly because she didn't dislike Diane's closeness. She felt shy, even embarrassed and annoyed, but not disgusted.

The confession brought some pleasant surprises, which is why she could tolerate Diane's offenses, since Diane had been tolerated for offenses before.

"Who likes you? It's just a mother-in-law's opinion of her son-in-law. You're not going to be my son-in-law anymore, so why would I like you!"

If it were just Diane alone in private, Mrs. Eve might have been more willing to go along with it, but with so many eyes watching, Mrs. Eve, who considered herself a mother-in-law, had her pride.

The head maid's smile, the daughter's indifference, the queen's snickering—Lady Eve felt her face burning; her serpentine coldness turned to warmth. "I don't like you, but I like you. If you don't agree to be with me, I won't protect the Breeze Church anymore!"

Diane threatened her skillfully. Mrs. Eve knew he was flirting and joking, but she was afraid Diane would take it seriously, so she blushed and gritted her teeth.

"I'm not a member of the Breeze Church, why are you using your connections to intimidate me?"

The once graceful and elegant beauty now resembled a wronged bun. Faced with Diane's threat, she dared not loudly refuse and let Diane do as she pleased, nor could she readily agree. She could only whine and explain her relationship with the Breeze Church.

“Miss Lottina is a saint of the Breeze Church. Even if not for the sake of her son-in-law, for the sake of her daughter, Mrs. Eve, you don’t want the Breeze Church to be destroyed, do you?”

Diane chuckled and said that he certainly didn't have that intention; he was just giving Mrs. Eve a way out because she was hesitant.

If Mrs. Eve really wasn't interested in him, she should have pushed him away and given him a serious reprimand, instead of letting Diane take advantage of her like this.

She did have some affection for Diane, and she tried to seduce and win her back time and time again. Diane already held a certain place in Mrs. Eve's heart.

Whether it stemmed from jealousy or the influence of prophetic dreams, there was a certain level of goodwill towards Diane, and he could consider her one of his own. As for whether it could evolve into love, that depended on Diane's abilities.

"Mom, don't accept this threat. The Breeze Church can sacrifice me, but not you. This is a matter for the Breeze Church, so don't interfere!"

Mrs. Eve was about to go down the stairs when she was "forced" to agree to Diane's request. However, the hapless Lottina said something touching, expressing her reluctance to let her family's church bring shame upon her mother.

His idea of ​​filial piety was somewhat out of step with the times, putting Mrs. Eve in a very difficult position. Mrs. Eve's slightly parted red lips slowly closed.

"..."

Glancing at her expressionless daughter, she realized she had actually taken Diane's joke seriously. Surely no one would take Diane's flippant words seriously.

"Even if all of us from the Breeze Church were to return to the realm of the gods, we would never want you, Mother, to suffer shame and humiliation for the sake of our lives."

Lottina's tone remained unchanged, but Mrs. Eve could sense her determination and assumed that she genuinely didn't want her mother to be coerced.

But this puts Mrs. Eve in an even more difficult position: should she join her daughter in scolding Diane, or explain that it was actually a misunderstanding, since her daughter is beyond redemption?

"You said your mother likes me, so why is she being ashamed and humiliated? Can't you tell I'm joking?"

Diane released Mrs. Eve and looked past her to Lottina behind her.

"Can't you tell that there's a conflict between your mother liking you and you coercing her into becoming your lover and enduring humiliation?"

Lottina's eyes flickered slightly, and her straightforward answer left Diane speechless. He was in the same predicament as Mrs. Eve, unable to tell whether Lottina's behavior was due to low emotional intelligence or if she had other plans. But considering her past behavior, Diane believed it was due to low emotional intelligence.

It's fine for me to be your lover, but your mother cannot become your lover under duress, nor can she be coerced because of her.

That's roughly what the other party meant, and it seems there's nothing wrong with it; she's a good daughter.

"Forget it, forget it, Mrs. Eve, let's put this matter aside for now. Mrs. Eve, now you understand why I refused Miss Lottina, right?"

Realizing that there was such a powerful figure present, preventing her from doing anything, Diane, who had originally wanted to make the first battle decisive and settle the score in one fell swoop, had no choice but to abandon this naive idea.

She still had to proceed slowly. At least for now, the beautiful snake was soft and yielding, and her lack of refusal was tantamount to acceptance. Diane was already smiling inside, but on the surface, she still showed a troubled expression.

"I know, my Lottina wouldn't even look at you."

Mrs. Eve wiped her collarbone with a handkerchief, gave a cold snort, and showed a look of disgust. Her snake tail swayed gently, indicating that she was in a good mood.

"That's a real shame, but also a kind of luck. If you both liked me at the same time, it would be a tragedy. I don't want to affect your relationship. I've seen plenty of these kinds of dramas where people turn against each other."

Diane quickly replied that he didn't even dare to think about it. Fortunately, he only liked Mrs. Eve's big size. Big was good, and good was big. People in China just liked big.

"Who likes you? It's getting late, Lotina, let's go."

Mrs. Eve's face hardened, she snorted coldly, and pulled Lottina away. She probably knew what was on her mind. If she didn't like it, she would have shown her mature social skills and dealt with Diane with a smile. It was because she liked her that she seemed flustered and lost her usual flexibility.

Lotina watched her mother's behavior, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips. She never expected her mother, who was usually so adept at navigating social situations, to have this side to her. It just goes to show that people are blinded by emotions.

"Sit a little longer... chat for a bit. It's almost dinner time, have dinner before you leave."

After Diane confessed his feelings, he became bolder and took the initiative to grab the beautiful snake's hand. Before he could even feel the rich and smooth flesh of the beautiful snake, she shook his hand off.

"I'm leaving now. If I'm late, Lottina's reputation will be ruined, and the child won't know how to refute it. I'll go and explain to the Breeze Church for you."

Lady Eve took Lottina's hand and left the room without looking back. Lottina turned her head, not to look at Diane, but at the head maid.

The issue of her mother's relationship with Diane has become clear. She hasn't even discussed theological issues with the head maid yet, and today she's already been forced to tell Diane that she doesn't like her. It's a bit of a loss for her.

“Impressive, Your Highness. Sometimes I really wonder if you are blessed by Cupid.”

Lady Eve blushed and pulled her daughter away, while Her Majesty the Queen, who had witnessed the whole affair, hugged Diane from behind.

"Uh, that's a rumor. You already know I have a god behind me. Cupid is my enemy. How could I possibly accept her blessing?"

Turning her head to kiss the Queen's cheek as she leaned in, Diane watched the door close, paused, and continued:

"Besides, you know best how I won her over. You two were rivals for love for a while, but she lost completely."

"That's right, she's just pretty and that's why my darling took a liking to her, but there's no bond between us like there is between my darling and me."

The Queen smiled. It was a joy to have won over her rival in matters of the heart. She and Diane had a bond forged in life and death, though it couldn't compare to Isabella's, but it was far better than the new sister.

"Don't be so direct, it makes me sound like a lecher. There's nothing wrong with being a lecher..."

Diane corrected the Queen, stroking her cheek, and suddenly felt that being a lecherous person wasn't so bad after all.

"Very good. You have plucked the three most beautiful flowers of the empire. You are the most enviable man in the empire."

The Queen's smile melted away like ice and snow. She knew the reason Diane had changed her mind: the beauty before her was pleasing to the eye.

"Let them be envious. Even if they are, I won't give them to them. My Queen is mine."

Diane knew how much people envied her; she could take any flowers she wanted home from her garden.

"Honey, wouldn't you like to be even more enviable?"

The Queen whispered in Diane's ear.

"How can it be even more enviable?"

"How about we let all three beautiful flowers bear fruit?"

The Queen tackled Diane, and the head maid lifted her skirt to retreat.

"Sister Margaret, let's go together. It's been so many days, and we haven't had a chance to be together."
