The mating season was a period that existed for certain monster species to reproduce.
Lust would affect the monsters' minds and reasoning; some low-class monsters would even abandon thought during this period, relying solely on biological instinct to engage in massive amounts of mating.
For these kinds of monsters, the mating season occurred only once in their lifetime.
All of this knowledge regarding the mating season was what Grace had learned from her textbooks.
But she never expected that Angelica, a legendary mythical creature, would actually reach this period as well.
Realizing that her inner thoughts had been exposed, Angelica's eyes swirled with chaotic lines as she explained in a panic.
“This is—this is a special period unique to our Dragonkind! The thoughts and ideas in my head are bound to be affected! But I definitely won't! Don't make wild guesses!”
Although she said this, at the mention of the words “mating season” from the other party, Angelica's dragon tail swayed uncontrollably from side to side, as if she harbored an ultimate yearning for those scandalous plots in the picture books.
Simply put...
Angelica wanted to do it.
“So, you've been constantly asking me for those romance picture books because you wanted to do it during your mating season... mmph, mmph!”
As soon as Grace exposed the truth, her mouth was covered.
Flying into a sudden rage, Angelica pounced in front of Grace and immediately covered her mouth with her hand.
“Don't get the wrong idea! Don't get the wrong idea, Grace! Being in heat doesn't mean I have to do that kind of thing with that guy!”
Angelica's face was flushed with embarrassment.
Grace, however, keenly caught the anomaly in her words.
“Eh? So you've already defaulted to doing it with that person...”
“I didn't! How could I... Don't focus on such strange things, Grace!”
At the thought that her mother could be watching her at any moment, Angelica instantly lost her composure.
But soon, Angelica snapped back to her senses.
No!
Her mother was still asleep!
Wasn't her purpose in coming here to reclaim the holy spear precisely to awaken her mother?
Angelica instantly let out a sigh of relief.
How could she let her mother see such an improper side of her!
Thank goodness, thank goodness...
And just as Grace said, ever since Angelica met Grace, the picture books she liked to read weren't just because they were interesting.
They were more about practical application and educational value.
Crossing her arms, Angelica said righteously, “The reason civilization can advance is because the races within it are constantly learning and evolving!”
Learning makes a dragon progress.
But don't you worry about what is being learned.
At the thought of the contents of those picture books, excitement and nervousness instantly flooded Angelica's heart. Consequently, her dragon tail swayed left and right continuously, looking incredibly adorable.
Behind her mother's back, a dragon and a human, such a forbidden love...
Waaaaah!!!
A sense of immorality instantly filled Angelica's mind. She pressed her slender hand against her chest, feeling her heart pounding violently.
During the mating season, dragons are naturally lustful.
Angelica finally fully understood the meaning of this saying.
She clearly wouldn't have thought about these things before!
Her thoughts and biological instincts were completely influencing her!
Suddenly, Angelica felt a wave of dizziness. She bit her lower lip, her face turning pale as her body shook uncontrollably.
“Ugh...”
That old woman's magic... damn it...
Angelica thought to herself.
Aside from the mating season, the reason she still hadn't recovered was all because of that woman!
Aside from some wounds, it was mostly because the magic unleashed by that woman carried many negative side effects.
Did I even provoke her?!
Why did she beat me to within an inch of my life the moment we met?
Recalling the terrifying scene of that day, Angelica couldn't help but shudder.
Loretta's overwhelmingly crushing strength filled Angelica with a trace of fear.
She had entered Tier 6 hundreds of years ago, and though she hadn't reached the peak, how could a mere human like her cast magic to such an extent!
“Lady Angelica...”
Seeing Grace come to her side, the concerned look in her eyes made Angelica feel a bit better.
First, she was ambushed by that Archbishop, and then she was beaten up by that baffling woman...
But thankfully, Grace had been taking care of her all this time.
Thinking Grace was going to comfort her, Angelica spoke up, “It's fine, Grace, I—”
Grace shook her head, grabbed Angelica's hands, and said with a serious, solemn expression, “Lady Angelica!”
“When you're in heat, you have to do it properly!”
Angelica's brain instantly short-circuited.
Thinking Angelica was so weak because of her mating season, Grace continued to speak with utmost seriousness.
“If you don't do it, you won't be able to get out of the mating season, right?”
“Huh?”
Excitedly, Grace placed some “necessities” into Angelica's hands, looking at her with sparkling eyes as she gave her a supportive gesture.
“As long as you mate with that person, it should be resolved, right?”
“Do your best! Grace believes in you!”
Grace: Thumbs up!
Angelica clutched her head.
“Setting aside why you even have these things in the first place...”
“Grace, as the Saintess of the church, how can you say such vulgar words!”
Angelica was utterly incredulous.
What did she mean by ‘just mate with that guy and it'll be fine’?
Who wants to...
No, she shouldn't even be thinking about this kind of thing at all!
“I'm not one of those low-class monsters! And there's no way I need this kind of stuff!”
“There are plenty of ways to break out of this state. Who said we have to do that kind of thing!”
“How on earth did you become the Saintess! What exactly is inside your head? Where did you go to school? Did your parents ever teach you...”
Just as the two of them were fooling around, a clear voice suddenly drifted into their ears.
“One wants to find the compass, one wants to kill his own younger sister, one wants to reclaim the dropped auction item, and another, ha, is doing all this just to make a student suffer in agony?”
“We really have gathered together for all sorts of different reasons.”
Not only Grace, but even Angelica was stunned.
This voice was coming from Angelica's own body.
Not only that, but both of them were incredibly familiar with this voice.
Angelica and Grace looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
“It's the Archbishop...”
“Is that the guy named Noctis?”
The next second, Angelica discovered that, at some point, a Card of Canal had appeared among her clothes.
And the voice that had appeared out of thin air was originating precisely from this card.
Was it something that woman had placed on her?
When did that happen?!
Angelica was instantly startled.
Most importantly, she hadn't even noticed?!
What kind of trick was this!
Grace stared intently at the card, her little mind racing as she spoke.
“Speaking of which, it seems the Archbishop is indeed discussing matters with those lords right now...”
“Could the voice coming from this card be a real-time broadcast?”
