God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith continued to read the letter and once he was done, he put it back into the envelope.

"So, are you going?" Amelia asked as she looked at him and Keith nodded, "Yeah, but I don't really want to join him. I'll need some time to think things through but before that, I'd rather listen to everyone's opinion on this."

He then looked at his teammates and one by one, they began to share their thoughts.

"I want to go just because I've never been to a grand banquet." Nathan said as he gave Keith a leisurely look.

Laura looked at Caleb instead of answering and he did the talking, "I feel like it'll be a good experience. As for taking sides, I feel like we will benefit a lot from this as we are originally from the church of protection.

We are inquisitors and usually, there's a lot of respect and fear when it comes to our job."

Clara nodded and continued after Caleb, "We can also use this chance to get information about the corruption and crime that's happening in the empire. There is no need for us to directly get involved in the borders and we can always change the conditions. Read latest chapters at empire

By using the information network of the royal family, we should be able to get into a stable give and take relationship. The royal family cannot act against nobles without concrete evidence, and this is where we come into play since we operate outside the rules of the empire."

Amelia on the other end, let out a soft sigh, "The royal family is a bit too late when it comes to hiring inquisitors from churches. Almost every single noble family from the Marquess have already hired a lot of them.

It's been decades since this has been happening and this is the first time I've seen the royal family take a step like this. I have a feeling that this isn't about the royal family and instead a personal thing to the third prince."

"And what would be the reason?" Keith asked even though he knew the answer and Amelia smirked before answering.

"It's almost time for succession. The youngest princess is the tenth official child of the emperor and once the tenth child comes of age, the emperor will announce succession wars. It won't have too much bloodshed, but it works more like a tournament.

This is probably why the third prince wants you guys to support him. Your team has three people with exceptional awakened abilities and even though Laura and Caleb don't have such abilities, they're way stronger than an average knight at this point.

Having your team on his side will boost his chances by a huge margin. He will probably ask you to join the tournament too, but I suggest that you leave the place right after the banquet ends. If you ever take sides, I suggest the second princess or the eighth prince. Everyone else is not worth the trouble.

I'm not invited so I don't think I'll be able to help you when you're out there but I'll tell you everything you need to know right now. So feel free to ask me anything."

Keith nodded, "I heard that the second princess is an absolute beauty."

Hearing his words, both Amelia and Clara squinted their eyes. Before he knew it, he felt a sudden pain on his sides and saw Clara pinching him ruthlessly.

"Ow ow ow ow, stop! I was joking!"

"Hmph, you're an asshole." Clara said and grabbed his ear before dragging him to their room.

He silently waited for her to speak and instead of screaming at him, she let out a sigh, "You... still didn't tell me what your decision is when it comes to Amelia. Why are you saying things like that in front of her when you clearly know that she has feelings for you?"

"I just said what came to my mind... but I just have one question. Why do you want me to get into a polygamic relationship? Like, don't you think that you might get jealous?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"No, I'll be happy to have someone who's like a sister to me being in a lovely relationship with someone she likes. But I do understand that if you don't find her attractive, it'll be hard to be happy for you." she said before hugging him.

"I just want her to be happy... but I also don't want to force you to do something you don't want."

Keith held her as he gave her pats on the back, "I don't have a problem with Amelia if I'm being honest. I do have a certain type that I prefer but that doesn't mean that I'll say no to others. She's extremely pretty and I agree with the fact that she's one of the top beauties too.

But you see, I feel like it'll be better for her to take a step forward instead of me. Feel free to give her some nudges but don't directly tell her to go for it. She's extremely confident when it comes to her beauty, but it seems like the words I've said in the past effect her a lot.

She has to love herself first for who she is. She thinks that I'd never date slim or lithe girls who don't have frontal development so I want her to have some confidence in herself first.

If she impulsively tells me that she has feelings for me and if I accept in such a situation, the lack of confidence will still stay inside her and that alone can cause multitude of problems. Even small things might trigger negative emotions like jealousy.

I've already started doing my best you know? I stopped calling her my bro since the past three months and it looks like she likes the change. Though, sometimes it's hard not to give her snarky answers because that's just how my friendship with her goes."

Clara smirked as she looked up at him, "Snarky my ass. The way you speak to her is way too saucy and provocative. No wonder she fell for you, tch."
