Chapter 593: How to Threaten a Goddess (1)

"I don’t know," Edmund replied quickly. "That’s why, explain it to me."

Leofric stopped pacing and stared at Edmund for a moment. The annoyed expression on his face slowly disappeared, and he let out a long sigh.

"Fine. You want an explanation? I’ll give you one," Leofric said. "But first, you need to understand something. I was never supposed to interfere with your lives."

"I was supposed to watch you. That was all," Leofric continued. "I made that deal because I was bored and thought watching a man willingly suffer through a hundred lives for the woman he loved would be interesting. I wasn’t supposed to save you, help you, warn you, or change anything that was meant to happen."

Primrose’s expression changed slightly. "Then why did you?"

Leofric looked at Edmund and sighed. "Because watching someone suffer is much easier when you’ve only watched him once or twice, but after dozens of lives, it stopped being entertaining."

Edmund remained silent as he listened to Leofric.

"I watched you lose everything again and again. Sometimes you found Primrose, sometimes you barely had the chance to know her, and sometimes your life was already miserable long before the two of you met." Leofric shook his head. "By the time we reached this life, I had already watched you suffer a hundred times. Even someone like me can eventually feel sorry for a fool."

"So that’s why you saved me from slavery," Edmund said.

"Yes," Leofric admitted without hesitation and clicked his tongue. "I wasn’t supposed to do that."

"And I definitely wasn’t supposed to let you learn magic from me," Leofric added. "That was another rule I broke."

Primrose stared at him in surprise. Until now, she had known that Leofric had helped Edmund in the past, but she had never realized that simply helping him had gone against the rules Leofric was supposed to follow.

"Then what about our previous life?" Edmund asked. "You interfered back then too, didn’t you?"

Leofric became quiet for a moment. "I did more than interfere."

Edmund and Primrose both stared at him.

Leofric rubbed his forehead before continuing, "I went to the Moon Goddess and made a bargain with her."

Primrose immediately straightened. "You did what?"

"I told her to stop pretending she was innocent," Leofric replied. "Your punishment might have come from Heaven, but she wasn’t completely free from blame. She knew what was happening to the two of you, and she still chose to do nothing."

"So I gave her a choice," Leofric continued. "She could do something about your situation, or I would."

Edmund stared at him in confusion. "What exactly did you threaten to do?"

Leofric smiled slightly. "I told her I would slowly erase the need for her existence."

The room became completely quiet until Lorelle spoke up, "You threatened a Goddess with that?"

"I wasn’t going to kill all her followers or destroy every temple she had," Leofric explained. "That would have been far too much work. I simply planned to start small."

Primrose suddenly had a bad feeling about what he meant by that.

Leofric continued calmly, "The Moon Goddess has power because werewolves and lycans worship her and believe they need her guidance, especially when it comes to finding their mates. So I thought, what would happen if they slowly stopped believing they needed her for that?"
