Do you all know the future?

Chapter 140: The Plan to Go to Ishtar
As the sun slanted westward, casting an orange glow, the enormous vines were cleared away in batches, revealing the original parts that had been wrapped around them, and the cracked floor tiles were being repaired.

With the help of magic, the massive project became simpler. There were still some minor details to polish, but it was already dark, and the servants went to rest.

Diane and the Queen discussed the issue of improving their strength. Currently, Isabella, Lady Eve, and Lady Terry are all stuck by the laws. The Queen herself has only recently ascended and is still digesting the power of the angels.

But the first to come looking for her was Her Majesty the Queen. The effects of the war had not yet subsided, but it was already lunchtime, and she hadn't seen Diane, so she quickly went looking for her.

As the sun sets, the boy and the maid embrace, their warmth and intimacy palpable. The queen senses their affection, akin to that of a loving couple, and she remains rooted to the spot.

"Tatiana, is it time to eat?"

At the head maid's prompting, Diane turned to the Queen and said that Tatiana didn't have time to spend with Diane except for meals.

"Well, I noticed you weren't here, and I heard you were here, so I came looking for you!"

The Queen did not deny it, and strolled over to Diane's side, looking at Diane's neatly dressed appearance with a slight sense of surprise.

"Oh, let's go have dinner. I'm feeling hungry after all afternoon."

Diane held one person's hand in each and walked towards the restaurant, not bothering to delve into other issues.

"I've been too busy and haven't been able to take care of you. It's my fault."

The Queen apologized, feeling embarrassed, as it was her duty as Queen.

"Why should I care about you? Do I have no hands or feet, or no Margaret? This is my home. I'm free to do whatever I want. What have you done to wrong me?"

Diane shook his head and squeezed the Queen's soft hand. His principle was not to cause trouble for others. He could learn about politics in normal times, but today was different. As the one who triggered this natural disaster, Diane did not want to delay the Queen from handling state affairs.

"With Ms. Margaret taking care of me, I was overthinking it."

The Queen didn't dare let her gaze linger on the head maid; the head maid was too powerful, dazzlingly so.

She used to think the head maid was exaggerating, that it was too much of a boast to think that one person could guard the Tudors. In reality, it still required the power of the new gods, the other angels and demigods of the new gods.

Unexpectedly, she was overthinking things. The truth is, the head maid is all that's needed to protect the entire Tudor.

"Well, I was just discussing your strength improvement with Margaret. You only recently entered the Angel level, so how about consolidating your realm first?"

Diane still respected the Queen and did not have the desire to conquer her by trampling on her authority. He respected the Queen fully.

“I want to be promoted. I feel so powerless right now. Like this time, the enemies you are facing are getting stronger and stronger, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to face your enemies. I don’t want to be a useless ornament.”

The Queen gripped Diane's hand tightly and said, word by word, that the more powerful the enemies Diane faced, the more powerless the Queen felt.

The opponents she will face next are mostly demigods or higher, and her angelic strength is clearly no longer sufficient.

"Don't joke with your life. If we're talking about pretty faces, I'm the real pretty face. I'm the weakest, okay? I really don't understand why I can't become as strong as the transmigrators described."

There was no time to become stronger. Diane really wanted to lie low for a few decades, hone her strength to become a demigod, and fight alongside the head maid, just like the transmigrators had described, to unify the entire material world.

The butterfly effect was too powerful. Diane was like a player making decisions in a tower defense game. He knew that leveling up would be the most beneficial thing, but with wave after wave of enemies, he simply didn't have time to level up and could only deal with each wave as it came.

“There will always be a chance. Once we become stronger, you won’t need to become stronger. But it’s also my fault. I haven’t finished making the simulation room I promised to create for you.”

The Queen was not comforted. In the Queen's eyes, Diane was special, a glue-like presence, and strength or weakness was not a consideration at all.

"Even if you build it in advance, I won't improve my strength much. It's just that the time is too short. According to the description of the transmigrator, it took me many years to reach the strength of a demigod. I hope this time I can have some peace and quiet for a while."

Diane exposed himself too quickly, saving him time to accumulate experience. He hoped that after this, the two gods would back down.

"Honey……"

Upon hearing Diane's words, the mature woman looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

Diane noticed her distress; the Queen rarely showed such an expression, something must have happened.

"The simulation training room was damaged due to the attack by the God of Life. I apologize for affecting your training, dear friend."

When Diane mentioned cultivation, she thought of the cultivation room, and then she thought of the damage statistics report she had seen today, in which the cultivation room was included.

"It's like even the heavens won't let me cultivate! Don't be like this, it's not like you damaged it, why are you so upset!"

Diane was also worried that the Queen might get stuck on her own thoughts, so she took the initiative to enlighten her, saying that the Queen was just too burdened with responsibility and wanted to meet the expectations of others.

"Whether I start cultivating a few months earlier or a few months later won't make a difference, since I won't reach the demigod level anyway!"

Diane kissed the Queen's troubled face, telling her not to blame herself so much. Diane had already caused enough trouble for the Tudors, and she shouldn't have forced the Queen to eat like this.

“I will rebuild it. Actually, my dear, you can go to the goddess’s divine realm to cultivate. It should be the safest place. After all, the goddess is the chief god. In her divine realm, no one can hurt you.”

Although this might mean Diane wouldn't be able to stay with the Queen for long, it would truly benefit Diane, so the Queen was willing to endure the pain of separation.

"No, I still have things to do in the material world, I can't go to the divine realm!"

The Divine Realm is just an empty shell; staying there is far less safe than staying in the Material Realm. After all, the head maid of the Material Realm is truly invincible, but things might be different in the Divine Realm.

There are no lesser gods guarding the divine realm. The reason no one goes there now is because the head maid's tearing of the Moon God's laws was too frightening, intimidating the gods and making them suppress their curiosity.

If Diane were to move to the Divine Realm, it would only reveal her weakness beneath her outward appearance. It would be better for her to remain in the Material Realm as bait, thus diverting attention away from the Divine Realm.

"What's the task? How could I possibly know?"

The Queen looked at the two of them cautiously. She knew that there was some secret between Diane and the head maid, and that this secret might even be about God. If she didn't tell her, then Diane shouldn't know.

Knowing this means she's one step closer to the inner circle. As a queen who has staked everything on bringing you along, she wants to know more.

"This one……"

Diane glanced at the head maid out of the corner of her eye, wondering what kind of reason she could come up with to convince the Queen. She had no idea.

"We've been bullied like this by the people of Ishtar, we should go back and cause them some trouble."

The head maid searched for a reason, plotting her next move, and chose her hometown as a cover. "Ishtar?"

The Queen's chewing on this word—is Diane preparing to return and seize the throne?

“That’s right, Ishtar, our master has been gone for too long. It’s time for the people of Ishtar to know who their true master is!”

A cold glint flashed in the head maid's heterochromatic eyes. She was now a demigod; it was time to go back and make amends for her past mistakes.

Meanwhile, the current King of Istia has repeatedly attacked Diane, and the head maid is already impatient to tear him to pieces.

"The war against Istaya?"

The Queen was startled by this decision, but also felt it made sense. She had a general understanding of what had happened last night; King Istya was still up to his old tricks and wanted to deal with Diane.

The previous assassination attempt could be tolerated for the time being, but this time, the Shield of Light and the Moon Goddess conspired to harm Diane again. We can no longer tolerate it and must strike hard.

"No need to send troops, I can solve the problem of Ishtar by taking my master back!"

The head maid sensed the Queen's concerns and assumed she was worried about weakening the Tudors, so she offered her own promise.

She didn't see the need for the Tudors to send troops; with her power and Diane's name, dealing with Ishtar would be no problem.

During this process, Diane can use the Holy Blood to control even more women. The Tudors' resources have been exhausted; they should go hunting now.

After this quality improvement, the number of demigods in Tudor increased, and the head maid no longer needed to stay in Tudor at all times; she could go outside.

"Going to Istya?"

Diane was also stunned. The head maid hadn't discussed it with him yet, and he was still in a state of surprise. He did want to take the head maid with him to seek revenge, but the head maid had dissuaded him several times. This time, the head maid took the initiative to bring it up.

“That’s right, go to Ishtar and take back everything that belongs to you and to me.”

The head maid pulled Diane closer to her, so that she could feel less lonely and isolated than before. Her tone was calm and even, as if it were not revenge but an outing.

“Going to Ishtar now isn’t out of the question. The demons have all fled, and the environment is much better than before. Your demigod power is invincible there.”

The Queen carefully analyzed the pros and cons of going to Ishtar. With military support and a suitable environment, the time was ripe to conquer Ishtar.

"But, darling... never mind, I'm probably overthinking it."

The Queen hesitated, glancing at Diane and then at the head maid, before swallowing her words.

"Just say what you want to say. Is there anything you're trying to hide from me?"

Diane dislikes riddle-makers. They should just say what they mean directly. If something can't be said, then say it can't be said. Leaving things unfinished only teases people's curiosity.

“Between Ishtar and Tudor lies the great power of Fafia. Fafia and Tudor have always been at odds. If you conquer Ishtar, Fafia will see it as a sign that you are attacked from both sides, so they will definitely prevent you from ruling Ishtar.”

The Queen spoke of geographical information: Fafia, Istia, and Tudor were all great powers, and Diane was a Tudor prince and a believer in the new gods.

From the perspective of the Fafia, although separated by several medium-sized countries, there were signs that Ishtar and Tudor were uniting, and they couldn't possibly be dealing with the gods.

The reason these countries were so excited about Diane and the Queen's wedding was because an invisible alliance, like a pair of pincers, had clamped down on these middle nations.

"I still don't understand your relationship with Queen Fafya, darling. Am I overthinking things?"

The Queen said uncertainly, glancing at Diane with her beautiful eyes. She had no idea that Queen Fafia was a follower of the Sun God, nor did she know what had happened between Queen Fafia and Diane last night. The only thing she knew was that Queen Fafia had sent a message last night, and that she was probably on her side.

"No, not really. As for my relationship with Queen Fafia, how should I describe it? It's hard to describe. Just think of her as the woman who wants to possess me."

Diane found it difficult to explain to the Queen that the identity of the Sun God was too sensitive, even more so than that of the Lord of the Purple Sea, and that Diane should refrain from speaking carelessly unless she was unafraid of the alliance of the gods.

"Her? She wants to have him all to herself?"

The Queen raised her voice, her displeasure evident. Even the Queen herself dared not think of such a thing, and she had always been lenient with Diane. Yet Queen Fafya actually wanted to monopolize her.

"That's roughly what they meant. They wanted me to abandon everyone else and stand with her, but of course I couldn't agree to that."

Diane tugged at their hands, as if to express his resolve at the time, and the two smiled at each other.

"With my loyal head maid and my loving wife, how could I bear to leave you? You wish!"

Diane dared not accept such fanatical believers indiscriminately. According to the head maid's idea, she had to subdue the entire organization first.

It's not about destruction, but about uniting everyone who can be united to deal with the real enemy.

"She doesn't even look at the kind of relationship she has with you, my dear, and what kind of relationship we have with you, my dear. She really dares to say that!"

The Queen usually didn't believe that Queen Fafya could be so brainless, but she was so angry that she didn't pay attention and only thought that Queen Fafya was hateful.

"Yes, she asked me to trust her after just a few words. How can I trust her!"

Diane said speechlessly, "He is indeed very loyal, and he is also quite willing to sacrifice himself. Perhaps he has sacrificed too much in his daily life, so he doesn't trust outsiders."

"However, you don't need to worry about Fafia's actions being too extreme. At least Queen Fafia won't stop her."

Queen Fafia's faith is essentially about wishing Diane well. Reclaiming Ishtar is an action that benefits Diane, and she will not only not oppose it, but will also support Diane.

"In that case, I am willing to send the navy to help you, my dear, restore your country. When do you plan to go?"

With no worries about the future, the Queen immediately chose to support them. Diane and the others had considered everything carefully. However, she was reluctant to let Diane leave, and she hoped that Diane would stay longer and return soon.

"Will Bridget even work if she's so far away?"

Diane noticed her reluctance and realized something.

"cannot!"

The Queen was somewhat frustrated. Multitasking has its limitations; after all, it's not a true clone with independent thought.

"We'll wait until Isabella and the others break through to demigod status before we leave, otherwise we won't feel at ease without demigods protecting Tudor."
