Chapter 931 Convincing Beniogre
There were some things that you once saw could not be unseen again as it became an unforgettable print in your brain.
Throughout his long lifetime, Odin had seen many such scenarios that left a deep imprint on his mind forever, however, he never expected to have one such unforgettable moment today as he visited Beniogre.
As he walked through the Kingdom of Life, he could notice the joyous mood that the commoners were in over the death of Dracula as they kept praising Max and the new husband of their monarch, Pope Sebastian, for this miracle.
Recently they had been living in a constant atmosphere of stifling fear where they were all afraid to start a project long term as there was no guarantee of whether or not there was going to be a long term?
Maybe Dracula destroyed their planet tomorrow? Maybe they became enslaved to the primordial vampires?
Nobody could be sure and hence everyone lived with a mindset of pessimism that today was going to be their last day.
The death of Dracula brought them a sense of peace and stability that had been missing from their lives these past few years and it was abundantly clear from their interactions that they were extremely happy about how things were turning out to be.
While Odin was happy to see the commoners rejoice, what actually shocked him was the graphic scene that he saw once he walked into Beniogre's palace and found her in an isolated garden enjoying some private time with her husband.
With his senses, Odin knew exactly where Beniogre was, however, never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined as to what Beniogre might be upto in the open space of a garden where any servant or guard could walk up on her.
Odin knew better than anyone as to how viscous and cunning Beniogre actually was beneath all the facade of being holier than the purest drops of crystal and hence when he saw her smiling brightly as she fed a smiling Sebastian sitting in her lap one grape at a time as she rubbed his exposed belly, Odin felt the world spin from under his feet.
Being a god, Odin could process a lot of information in a short span of time and today was one such day where he absolutely regretted being able to take in a lot of information at once.
Having seen it once, he was unable to unsee it as the image kept growing in his mind as shivers ran down his entire body as he thought clearly about what he just witnessed.
Beniogre was sitting with her nipples slightly exposed and wet which suggested that Sebastian might be suckling on them before she interested him with the grapes.
There were scratch marks on Sebastian's belly, suggesting that Beniogre was treating him like he were a puppy and giving him belly rubs while he laid in her lap like a baby enjoying the fruits that she fed him.
The whole scenario was so absurd that it made Odin extremely uncomfortable and wanting to puke as he wondered about how the vicious and cunning Beniogre could ever make such a genuinely loving expression.
" Who dares intrude upon us? " Beniogre asked furiously once she detected that someone was looking at them, as within an instant Sebastian was up on his feet and Beniogre covered her exposed insecurities.
By the time Odin looked back at them, both of them were completely decent and acted like this entire scenario did not actually just happen, however, the redness of their faces was a dead giveaway that both of them were extremely embarrassed at being caught.
Beniogre's marriage to Sebastian had not occurred by her free will, however, Sebastian was growing on her fast and ever since he had helped Max take down Dracula, taking care of her biggest worry, Beniogre had felt more generous and kind towards him as their private time became even more intimate than before.
She had genuinely started to care for and love Sebastian by this point and although Odin could not palate it, her feelings towards Sebastian were genuine at this point.
" Lord Odin, what brings you here? " Beniogre asked with the most unwelcoming tone ever as Sebastian looked towards the sky as if he was suddenly lost in its deep blue colour.
" I'm here because I need your help performing a surgery….. it's a big opportunity for you as to what exactly it is, we can talk in private " Odin said as he smiled a bright smile or at least his closest expression to a bright smile as he still felt sick from the lovey-dovey scenario he just saw moments ago.
Once he said this, Sebastian politely excused himself to give the duo some space to talk, however, Beniogre prevented him from leaving.
Domineeringly putting an arm over his shoulders, Beniogre stared at Odin as she said " All communications can occur in the presence of my husband. I trust him "
Sebastian's eyes instantly glowed up at this statement as his chest suddenly expanded by 5 inches while Odin scratched his chin awkwardly at this development.
He could blackmail Beniogre if he were alone, threatening to expose her past to her husband if she did not cooperate, however, he could not do so if her husband was standing right beside her.
Beniogre had played her cards well in this regard as Odin had to change his persuasion strategy on the fly.
" Very well, The matter that I'm here for requires your expertise in the field of operations.
There is a rich patient that requires a special surgery to be done to his body and the danger to his life is considerable while undergoing this surgery.
If he dies, the universe is going to be thrown into chaos and someone that Sebastian holds dear might also suffer a lot.
You can ask for any amount of monetary compensation or any other reward you wish for to perform this surgery, however, you must do your absolute best when performing this surgery and ensure that the patient survives " Odin said as Beniogre instantly squinted her eyes.
There were not many people in the universe who could make Odin personally lobby for them and Beniogre was 99% sure that the man needing surgery was none other than the supreme lord Rudra himself.
Although Odin had taken no names and was extremely vague about the entire scenario, Beniogre understood that if Rudra died, Max Rajput and family were bound to be sad which was going to affect Sebastian as well.
Odin had phrased his pitch well and because Sebastian's emotions were involved, she needed to give it more consideration even though her initial reaction to helping Rudra was a big 'NO'.
Not only had the bastard cruelly robbed her, he had also done so without giving her any benefits in return and had tarnished her divine image.
Beniogre held a grudge against him and would never help him out of her own good-will, however, since Sebastian's feelings were also on the line she could consider helping Rudra if it were for him.
" 10 trillion Gold coins " Beniogre stated her price as Odin did not even second guess the request and agreed to her immediately.
Sebastian sucked in a breath of cold air listening to the amount as he felt shocked that someone was willing to pay such an astronomical amount that was ten times the size of entire royal treasuries just for a surgery, however, he did not understand the full picture like Beniogre did.
With the money she gained from the surgery, Beniogre could reform the Kingdom of Life and compensate all those who had been affected by Dracula and his underlings which would help restore her image in the hearts of the commoners.
Although it was not enough to completely erase her grudge, at this price she was comfortable to let it go and curry favour with Rudra.
" You agreed too easily, should I have asked for more?" Beniogre asked as she felt suspicious as to the degree of difficulty of the surgery that was to be done if Odin was willing to pay such a price for it without needing to think twice.
" You can judge that after you perform the surgery" Odin said cunningly as he did not give Beniogre a chance to change her price.
Since the deal had been struck, Odin knew that it was best that they did not waste any more time as he requested Beniogre to wrap things up at home and follow him at once to visit the patient, as after bidding farewell to Sebastian she did precisely that and headed towards the Rajput Capital with Odin.
On their way to the Rajput capital, Odin shared with Beniogre some of the details of the surgery that she needed to perform as cold sweat began forming on Beniogre's palms just by listening to the insane demands that Odin had of her.
Cutting open a Sea of essence?
Embedding a seed in one's throat?
Embedding a seed in one's heart?
These were all insanities that were beyond the scope of any medical knowledge as suddenly Beniogre did not feel as sure of her medical skills as she did just a moment ago.
