Chapter 665: Athena's Quest Part 1

Pov Athena:

I get up from my bed in the Temple inside the Dungeon and look around my room which only has an empty bookcase, a simple desk, a bed, and a table with two chairs.

I've been given permission to change whatever I want in the room, I can do whatever I want, but I still don't know what to do.

Just like every day, I get up and change, then go to the bathroom to wash my face, but I am distracted by looking at my own face which has many similarities to my mother and sister's.

If I close my eyes, I can imagine what she would say to me.

"(You are a disgrace to our family, siding with a damn Heretic!)" (Andreia)

"(You shame our lineage and history, you shame everything I fought for and our father fought before us!)" (Andreia)

"Athena..." (Angela)

"(I'm ashamed to be the sister of a traitor, I'm going to kill...)" (Andreia)

"Athena! Can you hear me?" (Angela)

"..." (I)

"Are you feeling something? Why are you crying." (Angela)

"I'm fine..." (I)

"No, you're definitely not okay." (Angela)

I wet my face once more to wash the tears from my eyes and take a deep breath before looking up at my best friend's worried face.

"You're right, I'm not okay..." (I)

"But I'll stay..." (I)

"(Sister, I know you must be enraged every time you think of me, by now it must be known to all my betrayal, but I don't regret what I'm doing.)" (I)

"I just hope you're right..." (I)

It didn't take long to get this fake envoy to talk, after a few hours of torture he told a lot, but just to be sure, we used one of the memory affecting potions on him and started everything from scratch.

Just as I thought, he answered different things to each question, it seems he was lying, disinformation is a trick that anyone with espionage work or in the criminal business knows, but applying it during torture is something few would do.

After using several potions and Darius being insistent with his questions, we finally had the answers we wanted, but there was little information.

After that we went to the village of the Elves to meet the envoy of the Empire by the name of William, I intend to go back part of the way with him to get some information.

He told everything he knew about the enemy, but he was cautious in answering about the situation of his allies, but even so, I got additional information with what we had already obtained during the interrogation.

With that I don't know where we can go, I'm going with everyone inside the Dungeon where it's safest to have a conversation about what we should do now.

I open the map showing the city where we are going and depending on what we find there we can go to one of the three options of places where we can find Gregory Roux for the information we collect.

We're leaving the next morning, I'll talk to the others to make their arrangements and I'll speak to Priestess Vanessa.

"Are you worried about the mission my Father gave you?" (Vanessa)

"Yeah, what does he want by giving something so easy to us?" (I)

I was in the basement of the Temple where Priestess Vanessa was counting the inventory of items stored in that Temple.

"My Father never does anything without a reason, even if it's a silly reason sometimes, so don't try to guess what he thinks, it would be a futile effort." (Vanessa)

"Just do the quest the best you can and no regrets, that will be enough." (Vanessa)

"What do I do if the mission target is not alone?" (I)

"Think for yourself what you should do, but I advise you not to take this mission for granted, sometimes looks can be deceiving." (Vanessa)

"Being close to my Father means that things are rarely going to turn out the way we imagine." (Vanessa)

-----------

The next morning we were all ready and heading towards where Kimeras' troops are, the best thing to do is interrogate someone in command to find out where Gregory Roux is.

With all the preparations we're leaving, but I'm nervous about this mission, I feel unsure how to complete this mission without interfering too much in the events of this nation.
