The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 165 - Three Steps

"Hmm… why do you think that she's dangerous for me, Anna?" I ask, "Did you perhaps see something uneasy about her?"

'Is she also suspicious about Veronica like I am?'

"No, nothing uneasy or concerning actually. It's just a gut feeling that I have." Anna shook her head, "From the start, Mrs. Veronica's been asking a lot about you."

"Me? Like what?"

"Like who you are, what you like to eat, how you were in your childhood?"

A smile appears on my face as the worrisome thought went away, "Those are normal questions Anna, not something to be worried about? She was just curious about the guy who got fooled like her husband."

'Hmm!'

"About her husband, Anna, have you actually seen this husband of Mrs. Veronica?"

"No, I haven't." Anna had a thoughtful look as she said, "From what I heard from Mrs. Veronica and Ms. Olivia, her husband is a wondering merchant, I think."

"Merchant?"

"Hmm, a very busy one. They mentioned that her husband goes around the kingdoms for a lot of jobs. He doesn't stay with her at all."

"So he's a wealthy man then." I say.

'He should be an ancient vampire if he is as wealthy as I think. Wondering around the kingdoms would be much less boring than staying at home with just one wife.'

"Henry"

I look back at Anna's concerned look and realize why it was like that, "Don't worry about that woman, I'll be careful with her. But you should promise the same as well."

"Promise what?"

"That you won't be too influenced by Olivia. Leaning is okay, but you can't change your personality."

"Of course, Master!" She said in a happy tone, "Do you need something, like tea or something to rejuvenate you?"

"Well, I would like for you to rejuvenate me." I say with a smug smile but wipe it off quickly, "But since you're sooo occupied with this new guests of ours, I'll just have a mango juice."

"Alright" Anna walked out of the room as my thought reverted back to Veronica.

'It's good that she's not suspicious of her the same way I am. It's better to be ignorant of things when you don't have the power to face them.'

'If she had been suspicious about her, then even with me protecting her, I can't sure that nothing will happen to Anna. If Veronica really is a vampire, then her hypnosis skills would make it very troublesome for the guards to do anything against her.'

'All I can hope is that she really came here because of the mansion and nothing else.'

"But with my luck… the chances of this going smoothly is very slim." I sigh before forgetting about this matter for now.

'Three months…'

'I only have three months before the story starts for real. I need to get things prepared first. Now what would I need to do before the academy arc -

First - Some connections with some young masters going to the academy.

Second - My own reputation needs to be high enough for me to be at least acknowledgeable in their eyes.

Finally - The strength to break through the hurdles that I would have to face at the academy.

I need to put my full attention to all three. But among them, I don't really know how to achieve the first and second steps.

For me to have connections, I need to have some sort of reputation. For me to get reputation, I either need people to acknowledge me amongst other reputed people or do something that'll shine my name bright quickly.

Now the third… third is something that I can actually do and something that I need to definitely put my earnest focus on.

With what happened yesterday with the cunt leader, I now realize that the level of strength I have is nowhere enough for me to be arrogant about. But in which category should I focus on first?

Should I focus on my raw strength, which could help me in close combat and tight situations or Should I focus on better usage of my Sigmat Ring, which will help in battles with other sigmat users and also in various long range usage?

I scratch my head because of the tough decision in front of me.

'Damn! Can't tell which one I should actually focus on.'

'Fortunately for me, I have three months to decide on what I should really do.'

But what do I do for the first two steps?

I wonder what Arthur is doing right no-

"EUREKA!" The plot comes to my mind as I get up and slam the desk.

Thinking about Arthur, I remember what he is doing or would be doing in the future.

'If I'm not wrong then he should go to that place and will get into a conflict. One that would help him get a heroine in exchange!'

'But if I can use that conflict to my own usage…'

A dark smile comes to my face as an idea blooms in me.

'A plan that would help me harvest both good reputation and connections.'

The door of the office opens as Anna walks in with a tray and a glass cup.

"Henry, I brought your mango juic-"

"Anna, prepare my carriage, I'll be going out tomorrow!"

"What! Again?" Anna felt bewildered by the sudden order. She put the tray down on the desk and said, "You just arrived a while ago, it would be bad for your health if you go out again tomorrow."

"Don't worry about my health, Anna. I have something important I need to do so I can't miss it."

"…Alright" Anna reluctantly nodded, "Who else will be going with you?"

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

"No one, I'll be going by myself."

"By yourself!" Anna was shocked, "That won't do. What if something happens? What if you get attacked on the road or some thugs tries to still money from you?"

"Anna" I smile at the silly girl, "You do realize that I had fought in a competition of life and death against multiple opponents and even survived against a fucking cult leader, right?"

"What! When did this happened? Did you get hurt? Open your shirt now! Let me take a look." Anna said in a hurry as she went on to unrobe me.

'Shit… forgot that I actually haven't told her about the whole competition.'

It took a long time before I was able to finally calm down Anna and tell her that I was actually fine and nothing had really happened to me.

But even then she couldn't completely calm down and told me to promise her that I'll take more care of myself from now and won't do stupid stunts on competition and stuff like that.

She looked so innocent and cute at that moment that I wanted to bang her right there but she remained resolute… my cute Anna.

Doesn't she understand that when night comes, she'll be mine to eat?

Haha, never mind, It's more fun when the rabbit actually tries to fight before the mating process.

…

The Next Day…

We were once again before my beautiful and extremely study carriage as the workers or staff as Anna told me to call them, were binding the carriage and Alice was the one ordering them.

Typically, it would be Anna who would do something like this but… she was quite tired from last night so she couldn't come.

Ahh… My Cute Anna, she fought so much yet knowing it would be futile~.
