"Ugh, no. I'm fairly certain that few mages have red eyes that glow somewhere in the continent," Artemid said.

"But yours is different," Silvanna said. 

"I don't know if I should take you seriously like I did before I determined you were a dumbass or just go along with your childish antics," Artemis said. 

"Take me seriously!" Silvanna complained. Artemis wasn't remotely pleased with their interaction. 

Artemis was on edge just a moment before, thinking that Silvanna would pose a threat. But although she was a powerful demigod, she was an idiot, like a child entrusted with too much magical power by her overly forgiving parents. 

"Look, okay, I mayyyy be an idiot but that doesn't mean I'm incompetent," Silvanna said.

"I think being an idiot automatically makes you incompetent," Artemis clapped back.

Silvanna then sighed as if she was the professional dealing with manchild although it was the other way around. 

"Fine, I only know that you're a metal demon because back at the Imperial Capital, we were visited by one of the Goddesses, who told us she would take care of the 'metal demon' leader by kidnapping him," Silvanna said. 

With the mention of the Goddess, Artemis began to take Silvanna's words seriously again.

Silvanna, noticing this, continued. She may had been an idiot of some magnitude but she knew that if she did not behave herself while talking about the goddess that tried to kill the metal demon in front of him, she would risk her own life. 

Hell, she realized.

Why did I mention the goddess! 

It was at this moment that she knew, she should have just shut her mouth.

She felt the overbearing aura of the metal demon close in on her.

But something came up in Artemis' mind that made him rethink his understanding of the events that had transpired between when he awoke from his battle with the Goddess.

"Lord Rism, just who exactly is he?" Artemis asked.

"Eh?" Silvanna was surprised, "I thought you'd already know him because you're comfortable with Wart who declared you King. Under Imperial law, declaring a mere commoner a ki-" 

Silvanna stopped talking. She sensed immense killing intent from Artemis. The first of its kind. 

"Hey relax, okay, uhm, you wanna know who Lord Rism is? Well, Lord Rism is the King of the Kingdom of Winterrun. A vassal to the greater Imperial authority," Silvanna said.

Silvanna then began scratching the back of her head.

"And he wasss the king of this here Fortress city until you decided to crown that dwarf, anyways, that's not the problem. The problem is that Lord Rism has lost two important things, this city and that elf," Silvanna said.

"So he lost this city and his sex slave?" Artemis said.

"Huh?" Silvanna was confused, "Wait no, you see, that elf was entrusted to Lord Rism while I acted as her chaperone of sorts and then suddenly he gets the great idea of undoing the seal and controlling the monster within her so that he could overthrow Imperial rule for his greedy reason," Silvanna said.
