Chapter 497: Chapter 30: Lady, Sleep Well, Don’t Look Back (4.6k)
The next morning, after successfully eradicating the beast nest in the mountains, the twin brothers led their team in a triumphant return to the city.
After smoothly handling a series of handovers, the two grabbed some snacks from a street vendor and merrily walked home, chatting and laughing.
However, before they even entered the house, their younger sister Helen burst out of the door and rushed into the arms of her elder brothers, her throat emitting a whimpering cry.
“Brother…”
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing their sister’s eyes swollen like peaches, the brothers looked astonished and quickly asked.
...
Helen pointed to the courtyard behind her, enveloped in a glowing pattern, hesitated several times as if wanting to speak, her face full of grief and indignation.
“They…”
Unable to contain themselves, the brothers unconsciously leaned in to listen, and immediately, they heard bursts of intense collisions and gasps coming from the courtyard.
That familiar melody made the brothers, experienced as they were, reveal a mocking expression.
So, they actually got together while we were out.
But come on, make love if you must, but could you keep the noise down?
Looking at the thick, multilayered magic barrier in front of them, the brothers were astounded and looked pityingly at their sister, who seemed to have been forced to spend the entire night watching, secretly criticizing the three unbridled people in the courtyard.
Look how scared my kid is…
“It’s a small matter, don’t mind them!”
“Haven’t you eaten yet? Let’s take you out for a good meal.”
The two brothers spoke one after the other, pulling along their grievously wronged sister towards the bustling market, intending to mend her bruised heart with food.
Being dragged away, Helen, looking at her two brothers who were oblivious to the root of the problem, felt extremely bitter.
Eat, eat, eat, what’s there to eat? Our home is almost gone!
The three chances that were originally mine were used up twice in advance by those thieves inside.
What’s more infuriating is that all three of them were doing that, and they left me out alone, making such a commotion that I was forced to watch all night long!
That’s just too much!
Fortunately, the heartfelt love from her two brothers somewhat diminished Helen’s resentment.
“Come on, you must be starving? Eat more.”
“This steamed mutton and roasted pigeon taste good, try them.”
Comforted by her brothers’ words, Helen turned her grief into appetite, gritted her teeth, and fiercely bit into the lamb chops and pigeon meat on her plate.
She hadn’t had a hot meal since yesterday morning after all.
Meanwhile, the two in the courtyard ate to their heart’s content… in various senses…
Just as Helen was beginning to enjoy the true taste of her food, Castor, who had finished his meal earlier, threw down his bone, clapped his hands, and reminded her.
“Hurry up and eat, we still need to make a trip to the Temple of the Moon Goddess and the Royal Palace.”
“Why?”
“With all that noise, they might keep at it for a long time, and being out of sight for so long, of course, we need to find an excuse to cover for them.”
Polux casually answered, exchanging a knowing smile with his brother, their eyes gleaming with the same mischievous glint, reminiscent of friends covering for each other in front of their parents and elders.
Thud~
The large lamb chop Helen was gnawing on fell onto the plate, her little face turning as dark as the bottom of a pot.
She gave them her opportunity, her place to live, and even the person she liked.
In the end, was she supposed to run errands and cover for them while they enjoyed themselves?
The girl lowered her head to look at the half-eaten lamb chop on her plate and pursed her lips.
She felt, once again, a slight itching in her teeth…

In the depths of the Arcadian Mountains, the bands of beasts seemed to be overflowing into a disaster again, but Queen Atalanta had already gone on a hunting expedition into the deep mountains with her friends.
As for the news brought by the twin brothers, whether it was the Temple of the Moon Goddess or the Royal Palace, it was quite customary.
Their queen had always liked to be independent, venturing several times into the beast-infested mountains to destroy numerous nests; now this similar approach was not surprising.
Even without Atalanta, the literal leader, the various forces in the City of Arcadia, honed by repeated beast disasters, were already capable of operating on their own, maintaining the basic order of the city.
Just like that, three to five days passed, and the Royal City remained as stable as ever, with even no serious incidents occurring.

The only slightly unusual thing was the strange vibrations emanating occasionally from beneath the houses in the southeastern part of the city.
Seven days later, the twin brothers, who routinely came to report to Queen Clymene, were struggling to keep up.
The two looked at the gentle and elegant middle-aged lady in the garden, who was chatting pleasantly with Queen Clymene, and felt an inexplicable sense of unease, letting out an internal wail.
Brother, it’s been seven days, haven’t you had enough?
Please, come out already! Someone’s looking for you! It seems to be a deity!
Seeing the conversation between the queen and the middle-aged lady conclude, and spotting some clues, the hesitant brothers were just about to pluck up their courage when a heavenly voice came from behind.
“Does she want to see me?”
Upon hearing this, the twin brothers looked excitedly toward Luo En, who had appeared behind them, and nodded eagerly.
“Brother, you finally came out. Do you know she’s been waiting for you at the Royal Palace for half a day? If you and those two didn’t show up soon, we were about to rush into the courtyard and drag you out of your love nest.”
“Thanks for the suffering…”
Luo En, knowing he was at fault, clapped the twin brothers on the shoulders and thanked them with a nervous laugh.
“Go ahead with your tasks, I’ll take over from here.”
