Chapter 380 - 339. Mom, you don’t want to lose your goddaughter either, do you?
```
"So that’s how it is."
Having heard her daughter’s account, Euphilia breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a surprise that the oldest King of Angels was also doting on his daughter just like herself, it was nonetheless good news—at least the other party had explicitly promised not to harm Sophia.
With the Lord of Glory’s identity and position, it was impossible for her to lie about such a matter. This was more than just a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Only now there was another problem.
The Dragon Queen glanced at her daughter, who was still diligently massaging her, and as a mother, she could somewhat understand the thoughts of that ancient King of Angels—probably the first thing the Lord of Glory would do after her release was to snatch Sophia back to heaven.
Just like Euphilia herself had always hoped Dorothy would take over her own position and wealth, it seemed likely that the Lord of Glory would also groom Sophia as her heir.
And this King of Angels probably wouldn’t be as easy to talk to as herself; her way of taking people away might be simple and rough.
If a King of Angels really wanted to take someone away, in the absence of The Third King’s interference, no one else would truly be able to stop her.
As for really shaking things up, asking The Third King to intervene and such, that was outright impossible.
Because all this was a trial left to the Angel Witch Clan by the God King.
The Third King, as the chief examiner of this trial, naturally couldn’t personally descend to help the candidate cheat.
Even Euphilia’s visit this time was under a secret edict from the Dragon King; she had come as an envoy from the Dragon Kingdom to witness this trial.
As a witness, she actually couldn’t offer much help to Sophia, after all, this was an internal matter within the God King’s lineage, and as an envoy of the Dragon King, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to interfere too much with another family’s internal affairs.
However...
Looking at her daughter again, Euphilia schemed.
Although Dorothy was her daughter, her rebellious child refused to be her heir, and thus she was not bound to the Dragon Kingdom but was a free witch instead; thus, there were no such reservations.
There were many things Euphilia herself couldn’t conveniently do, but Dorothy could.
For instance, supporting Sophia to ascend to the position of the Saint Heir of the God King.
Alas, the Dragon Queen hadn’t wanted her silly apprentice, whom she treated like a goddaughter, to get involved in the dispute over the God King Holy Child’s throne, but now this seemed to be the only way to prevent Sophia from being forcibly taken away by the Lord of Glory.
So...
"Dorothy, how has your relationship with Sophia been coming along recently, any progress?"
The Dragon Queen spoke, asking with the face of a mother urging marriage.
And the previously content homebody witch, who had been surreptitiously massaging her mother’s muscles, suddenly felt numb at these words.
"Mother Superior, what are you talking about? Sophia and I are purely roommates, how could there be any progress? Don’t talk nonsense,"
Dorothy hurriedly argued.
Tsk, tsk, some argument, that was the plain truth; she and Sophia really didn’t have much to do with each other, at best they were potential family members.
"Is that so? That’s a pity. I really hoped that child could be with you and truly become my daughter,"
Euphilia sighed, seemingly a bit disappointed as she spoke.

"Ah, but never mind, since you don’t like it, as your mother I won’t force you. Just go ahead and say your goodbyes to her, after all, you might never see each other again."
"Huh... Mother Superior, what do you mean by that?"
Dorothy furrowed her brow, quickly asking.
Though her relationship with Sophia might not have been love, it surely didn’t mean they should be forbidden to see each other if they weren’t romantically involved.
"You silly child, didn’t you yourself say that the Lord of Glory will be out in a week?"
"And what does that have to do with whether I can see Sophia or not?"
"Her biological mother is coming out, naturally she will take her own daughter with her. Do you think you can chase after her to heaven?"
"But, Sophia is a witch, how could she just go to heaven?"
"She is now, but that doesn’t mean she always will be. For the Lord of Glory, who holds the Authority of Fate, changing Sophia’s mixed blood destiny into that of a pure Angel isn’t difficult. And once Sophia’s identity is exposed, how many in the Witch World do you think will still recognize her as a witch?"
"Ah, this..."
"Dorothy, you should know that a witch and an Angel have no future together. Relationships between Calamity Race creatures are taboo, but since you don’t like her, it’s no loss if you don’t see her again."
The mother and daughter bantered back and forth, and at last, a pleased smile appeared on the face beneath Euphilia’s mask, as she saw the anxiety and conflict in her daughter’s eyes. Find adventures on NovelBin.Côm
Heh, kiddo, acting all tough with your mom? Stubborn as a dying duck, hmm? Look, now who’s getting anxious?
"Alright, that settles it then. You go back and say your goodbyes to Sophia, and after she’s gone, you’ll move back home and live with me."
Euphilia continued to administer this pleasant balm to her daughter’s eyes.
Dorothy: "....."
No way, I don’t want this to happen.
Although she still felt that her feelings for Sophia lacked a romantic element, the thought of not seeing her ever again – this good roommate who, despite often speaking words of disdain, invariably ended up helping her out with grudging faithfulness – immediately filled her with gloom.
No, this is the future family member I’ve been preparing for; I’ve even finished building the house and reserved a room for her. Now you’re telling me she’s just going to leave? Doesn’t Dorothy have any dignity left?
No way, I don’t agree with this. Besides, Sophia is an adult, for goodness’ sake. Even if the Lord of Glory is her biological mother, she can’t decide her life for her, unless Sophia tells me herself that she wants to go to heaven; otherwise, no one can take her away. I stand by these words.
The Homebody Witch’s four-tracked mind reached a consensus, and she rapidly pondered how to keep Sophia here. Inspiration promptly highlighted the Prophecy of the God King Holy Child in her mind.
Yes, that’s it. If Sophia became the God King Holy Child, then not even the Lord of Glory, her biological mother, could possibly take her away from the God King.
So the question arises, how can Sophia become the God King Holy Child?
Dorothy was startled; she really didn’t know the answer to this question, but it didn’t matter – she wasn’t fighting alone.
At that moment, the Homebody Witch slightly lowered her head, looking at the Dragon Queen, who was meditating with closed eyes.
"Mom, my dear mother, you don’t want to lose the goddaughter you have raised since she was little either, so that..."
...Dorothy groveled...
What do you think?
