The two people who were chatting casually a moment ago had now vanished from sight, leaving only the black robe in Asher's hand. Asher felt a little helpless. These two... neither of them are good people! He had thought it would be a rather serious god, but now it seems he's similar to Merlin.
Oh no, it's not good to say that. After all, Odin did indeed help Asher quite a bit. Although he played the absentee landlord when Skadi appeared, directly throwing the troublesome matter, along with this black robe, to Asher.
However, considering how much he had genuinely helped, Asher reluctantly decided to help deal with Skadi this time. Anyway, dealing with one woman shouldn't be too difficult. After meeting, regardless of anything, just blurt out: "I don't know anything."
If Skadi continued to ask questions about whether Odin had just appeared, he would just keep shaking his head. Anyway, if he played dumb, she couldn't do anything to him. Could Skadi really pry his mouth open?
As for this black robe... it was pointless. Could he really pretend to be Odin? She would probably recognize him instantly. Asher casually tossed the black robe aside, then walked a few steps forward and saw a maiden. Her delicate features were unadorned, wearing a long slit dress, her slender beautiful legs encased in thin stockings. She was now striding towards him, holding a staff.
Skadi saw Asher, took a big step forward, and grabbed his collar, "Where is he?!" That one action immediately rattled all the words Asher had just gathered in his mind, and surprisingly, this usually aloof woman's eyes were genuinely intimidating when she was serious, even though Asher could easily pin her to the ground right now. However, Asher didn't do that. Instead, he said with a bewildered expression, "I don't know, what are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending, I already saw him just now." Skadi stared intently into Asher's eyes and repeated, "Did he run away?"
"Hmm... probably," Asher glanced away. He had to admit, the Goddess of Snow's eyes were terrifying right now, almost like the Goddess of Fire.
"He really isn't dead..." Skadi released Asher and took two steps back, as if lost in thought. "He's dead, only a tiny bit of lingering consciousness remains," Asher explained from the side. Then, Asher was met with Skadi's fierce glare. But the next moment, Skadi withdrew her gaze, squatted down with her arms wrapped around her knees, and let out a soft sigh. She completely lacked her previous aggressive aura, looking more like a powerless little girl, full of exhaustion.
"Tell me, why do you want to see him so badly?" Asher crouched down beside her. Considering that this goddess had also helped him quite a bit, Asher tentatively decided to counsel Skadi.
"To freeze him into an ice sculpture," Skadi said.
"Huh?"
"Just kidding. I just wanted to see him again, to see the man who once cared for me like a father." Skadi paused slightly, then slowly turned her head to look at Asher.
"You should have a way to make him appear, right?"
"I think that's a bit difficult," Asher said seriously. Every time Odin appeared on his own, not summoned by Asher. He didn't know how to lure Odin out. Perhaps in a dream, Merlin might have some ideas?
"How about this," Skadi said, "you let me see Odin, and I'll
help you solve your recent troubles."
"My troubles? Hahahahaha, how could I possibly have troubles."
"The Queen's matter." Asher's laughter abruptly stopped.
Skadi showed a triumphant smile, her eyes looking very captivating as she looked at Asher and said, "You've been troubled by the Queen's matter recently, haven't you?"
This goddess usually kept to herself, how could she know even this so clearly? Asher frowned. After a moment, he asked with a question in Skadi's confident smile, "Why do you think I have to ask you for help?"
"Only I can help you," Skadi said calmly. "Neither Artoria, Scathach, nor even Uathach or Morgan can offer you any help in this matter." After all, this was a struggle for the position of Queen.
Morgan, Scathach, or others might be able to help Asher with other things, but this particular matter was impossible for them to help with; they would make him choose the Queen himself. Asher smiled, shaking his head with a "tsk tsk." He said, "Do you think I would offend Odin for something like this? Lure him out to meet you?"
Asher usually disliked it when others spoke to him with such a definitive tone. Simply put, he loved to refuse people in such situations. So, Asher extended his hand,
"How do you plan to help me?" Skadi smiled and shook Asher's hand.
"You can just marry me." Asher: "???" This goddess's first sentence shocked him.
"Don't misunderstand, it's actually very simple. I will declare my love for you as a goddess at the meeting two days later. At that time, you just need to firmly reject me. The firmer your attitude, the better. You should know better than me what to say, because these words are not for me to hear, but for the lords and Knights of the Round Table."
"If you even reject the courtship of a perfect goddess with a perfect appearance, those people who are eager for King Arthur to take a Queen will probably quiet down for a while, right? It might not solve your troubles permanently, but at least it can give you a few years of peace."
"If that's the case, why not just pretend to get married?"
Asher retorted, "That would solve it once and for all."
"Oh~" Skadi narrowed her eyes, leaned forward, and cupped Asher's face. "Are you thinking of actually marrying me?"
"No, I was just kidding."
"Actually, that could work too," Skadi's tone shifted, and she continued. Asher was stunned.
"What did you just say?"
"It could work. As long as you officially declare me as your Queen to everyone else and swear to pour all your love into me alone, I can consider it seriously," Skadi said seriously. This difficulty was no less than fighting Vortigern again.
"Oh, by the way, if you are rejected by others because of this, I won't help you."
"So, in the end, it's like you said nothing..." Asher muttered, then thought about it and finally nodded.
"Then it's decided. I'll trouble you in two days."
"Pleasure working with you," Skadi said with a charming smile. "You are a wise king."
"I don't think complimenting me now has any meaning."
