The Law of Love With God - Chapter 3.1

Codename: Mystery (1)

Having sold out her faith in exchange for a gold coin, Lucia sneakily made her way home. Once there, she couldn’t wait anymore and took out the gold coin from her pocket, and tiptoed as she gave it to Anna.

“Mommy! I found a gold coin!”

Anna was taken aback. “Where did you find it?”

“In the temple!” Lucia said triumphantly, “A gold coin! I’m amazing!”

“A gold coin?” Anna didn’t expect it to be such a large amount of money, “Why didn’t you give this gold coin to the priest?”

“Huh?” Lucia was stunned, her cute little face looking blankly at Anna.

“Lucia, I’ve already taught you many times. You can be naughty, but you can’t be greedy for things that don’t belong to you.” Anna lectured Lucia seriously, “Excessive greed will make you lose yourself.”

Lucia really wanted to tell Anna that the money was given to her by that bootleg god after she became his follower.

But if she told her that she became the follower of a bootleg god, Anna would definitely be even more angry and tell her that she should’ve believed in Lady Jormundra. So, she could only stay silent and let Anna preach the great rules to her again.

After she was lectured for two hours, Ram and Athos came back.

As soon as they entered the door, the two saw Lucia lying on the table, as if she was paralyzed and turned into a piece of flatbread.

“What happened?” Ram asked in surprise, “Did Lucia cause trouble again?”

Ram’s words made Athos look to the side. This familiar and natural response – just how naughty was this sister of his who looked like an angel?

“Lucia picked up a gold coin in the temple.” Anna explained, “I’m teaching her to give the money to the priest or the patrol officer next time she picks some money up.”

Lucia raised her head while her chin rested on the table. She looked at Ram and Athos expectantly, hoping to hear a little bit of support from their mouths.

“That’s right.” Ram nodded in agreement, rubbing Lucia’s small head with a calloused hand, “Think about it, a gold coin is not a small amount of money; the person who lost it must be feeling very anxious. Put yourself in their shoes and think about it. Wouldn’t you also hope that you could find the missing money?”

Athos also looked at Lucia with an approving look.

Too, too honest!

This family was simply a bunch of goody-two-shoes!

Lucia who returned to depression placed her face on the dining table again.

Athos wanted to comfort his sister. He stood at the side but didn’t know where to start, so he looked at Anna seeking help.

Anna rolled her eyes and took out a piece of meat jerky from the jar next to her. “Open your mouth.”

“Aaann!” Lucia immediately raised her head and opened her mouth to eat the jerky that Anna was feeding her. The cloudy sky turned sunny in an instant, and she chewed happily.

Just like a kitten, Athos thought to himself. He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to touch Lucia’s little head.

The girl with soft and smooth hair and warm temperature noticed a big hand on her head. She looked up for a long time, then her eyes curved as she smiled at Athos.

Her smile was like a flower blooming in the sun, honest and comforting, full of vitality.

Although it was not quite the same as the younger sister in his imagination, she was very cute.

“Tomorrow, Lucia and I will go to the temple to give the money to the priest.” Anna said ruthlessly, “if you find the owner, return it to the owner. If you can’t find them, give it to the goddess.”

“Gah.” Lucia became depressed again.

“Lucia, do you have anything you want? Brother will buy it for you.” Athos squatted down and looked at Lucia, and lovingly said, “Your brother also has money.”

That was not the point. Lucia’s heart was aching for the gold coin she lost. Even if she got more gold coins In the future, this lost gold coin would never return!

But no one in the family understood her pain. Lucia felt that she was too greedy for money and felt out of place.

The next day, Anna held Lucia’s little hand and she reluctantly came to the temple of Lady Jormundra again. Today was Thursday, when a big prayer service was held for Lady Jormundra. Anna went in with the others and prayed together with the priest, while Lucia used the chance to run away when Anna didn’t notice.

The big prayer service lasted for two full hours. At the end, holy rice was distributed to the believers, followed by everyone praying together. All in all, it added up to at least four hours.

Thinking of having to wait so long, Lucia felt a headache.

It was just yesterday that she found out that her little friend was actually a god, and he actually followed her to Serancha. She couldn’t sit still even more, and wanted to find him.

Knowing she was in the novel <Problematic Luck With Women>, Lucia was actually worried whether Mystery had something to do with the evil god.

But the evil god in the novel <Problematic Luck With Women> was an aggregation of malice without a will of his own. He just unconsciously led people to depravity and made them sin, and didn’t have a real personality.

The followers of the evil god were also very fanatical, and they believed that the evil god could bring about a new order. It was impossible that they would admit that “believing in gods is useless” like Mystery did.

This was still at the early stages of the novel, and there were still several months before the evil god’s followers would start their activities. And it would take at least a few years before the evil god could use his powers without going through his followers.

Most importantly, Lucia didn’t want to lose Mystery as a friend. In this world, he could be said to be the person whose thoughts match her the most… no, he’s a god now.
