The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

His Majesty Aldrich Derante, the handsome King of Etern, was sitting in his seat with his head down, waiting for the people under the throne to discuss a unified opinion to speak to him.

His Majesty the King has the title of "Sleeping Wild Lion". When this heroic and fearless King was still His Royal Highness, he took the lead and was active in the front line of the war. The team fought until it retreated, bringing peace to Itenna.

However, the wild lion His Majesty the King has not been able to move his muscles and bones for a long time after he was promoted from His Royal Highness to King, just like the word "sleeping" in the title, most of the time, he restrained all his sharpness.

Queen Ilsa sits next to King Aldrich. This beloved and beautiful woman once followed Aldrich on the battlefield and even saved his life.But now, she didn't say a word, with a smile on her lips, watching Aldrich with a gentle expression on his face.

Under the seat of the ruler and his wife, the noble officials are making a lot of noise, each insisting on expressing their own ideas.

At the head of the group of officials, the little sage Abner, who had just received his own title not long ago, did not say a word, and has remained silent with a smile so far.

Near Youyue's sage, His Royal Highness the blond prince hesitated to speak, but in the end, like Abner, he swallowed his thoughts back to his stomach.

After a long while, His Majesty the King may have finally had enough of these guys who insisted on each other, said different things, and occasionally tried to profit for their own family.He said: "In that case, you can find out when you go to the local area. Dear friends, who is willing to go?"

"Father, Ernest is willing to go and destroy the beast!"

The young and upright Prince His Royal Highness was the first to ask for his life.Prince Ernest had been waiting for his father's words for a long time, so he couldn't wait.Aldrich said loudly before he finished speaking.

As soon as His Royal Highness said these words, the room was silent.Then, the current sage Abner spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to assist His Royal Highness Ernest."

"If that's the case, then it's up to you to go. Little sage, I am very relieved of you. I will leave my idiot son in your care."

"It is an honor of the minister."

Abner didn't have the slightest look of fear that an ordinary person without combat power should show.He is not a spellcaster and does not have a strong physique, but he is entrusted with such a heavy burden, and he is not dissatisfied at all.

His Royal Highness, who was crowned with the word "fool" by the king, seemed to want to say something, but when he saw his mother's expression of worry and encouragement, he fell silent again.

His Royal Highness, Prince Ernest, has inherited His Majesty King Aldrich's fighting ability, and the relevant training is also very hard. Now, he is already a sword knight with outstanding strength.

In contrast, his younger sister, Princess Grace, has inherited the spellcasting talent from Queen Ilsa, and is favored by the elements.

It is superfluous to let the little sage Abner accompany him to the stricken towns to exterminate the beasts and record the reasons.Ernest believes that he has enough ability to complete the task perfectly-the king's move, but he is still worried about him acting alone.However, His Royal Highness the Prince, who tried to prove his ability and save the suffering people from the fire and water, all his evasive words melted away under the eyes of the Queen.

Let the prince and the sage travel together to resolve this matter, and then order a few knights and see if the relevant local temple personnel need to be supplemented, and then go together, this matter is settled like this—it should have been settled like this down.

A gentle and soft voice, like a girl's voice with a sense of holiness, came from outside the hall.

"—Please let Lu go with you."

When walking, it was like starlight dancing on the hair, and the whole person seemed to be full of some kind of calming charm. Lucini, who came from the temple, slowly approached King Aldrich, Yu Xiaosage Abner and Prince Ernest stopped between them.

"Holy Maiden of Radiance, why are you willing to go with me?"

The king was not dissatisfied with Lucini at all, but wondered instead.

"The local clergy have been honorably martyred." Lucini's tone was calm, but there was a bit of deeply hidden sadness in it. "Lu has the duty to spread the glory of Eterna."

As the saint of the Radiance Temple, Lucini is not only a spiritual symbol, but also a very powerful priest.Unlike ordinary spellcasters, while priests have attack power, there are also many people who choose to sacrifice part of their attack power in exchange for healing power.Great power cannot be placed lightly, and should be used where it is needed more, for example, a place where a priest dies and people suffer disaster.

The saint should not just pray for the people needlessly, and then stay in the temple with nothing to do, under the protection of the knights, but should go to a place where she can truly exert her power.

Lucini, the revealer of the sun and the moon, is God's agent in the world.

When the gods ignited the barrenness, then Lucini should spread hope.

"—so dear Bevie, don't be angry!"

Hugging her knight's arm and shaking it vigorously, Lucini in the carriage coquettishly softly.There is a transparent light curtain outside the two of them, covering the inside of the carriage and all the conversations between the two of them, so as not to reveal the lady's unladylike appearance and scare Abner who is driving outside, and who insists on riding a horse and talking with her. Ernest with several royal knights mixed together.

Originally, Bedwell also wanted to ride a horse, but in the end she was forcibly dragged into the carriage by Lucini——when the saint kept saying, "Bev is used to personal protection", she refused to wait for the saint. The behavior of the woman's face can't be said no matter what.

So Miss Chevalier's poor mount was sandwiched between the two tall horses pulling the cart-well, not pitifully, the filly seemed very happy.Since it is just an ordinary mount, not a mount partner that can only be obtained after being entrusted, this horse does not feel the worry of its owner for itself at all, and seems a little reluctant to leave.

At this time, Bedwell, whose arm was being held by Lucy Ni, had a completely different reaction from her own mount.

The blushing lady knight tried to make Lucini let go of herself, and Bedwell, who was never willing to surrender easily, said almost earnestly, "My lord saint! How dare this minister, minister, be angry with you?"

After entrusting the matter to the bishop in the Imperial Capital Temple, he took her to the location of the palace and entered the meeting hall where the king was. After the results came out, he told her that they were going to the disaster-stricken place. At that time, Bedivere’s His face was indeed more serious.However, this little annoyance is nothing but anger at himself.

Apparently, Lucini mistakenly thought that Bedwell was angry at her for going directly to the disaster-stricken area without any discussion and confronting the behavior of the monster.

"Then dear, why don't you smile? Just smile!"

"..." Bedwell has a problem, that is, the more nervous she is, the more ruthless her expression will look, with her lips tightly pursed, it looks more like she is angry.

Seeing Bedwell's expression, although she understood that her knight was not really angry, she still had slightly red eyes, pretending not to notice it, and said pitifully, "Bedwell...you are really here. Are you angry with Lu? Lu, Lu..."

"I, I'm not angry, please, Holy Maiden...Don't think too much, Holy Maiden!"

Seeing that Lucini's eyes were filled with tears, as if she was about to fall if there was something wrong with what she said, Bedwell panicked, "I'm just, just worried about the next journey. It must be...it must not be too pleasant, maybe you will be very tired, please take a rest for a while!"

Changed the subject so abruptly.

The saint who had successfully teased her made a "V" in her heart, and then said, "Well, isn't Bei Wei angry with Lu? If you are not angry, just smile, okay? Otherwise, Lu can't always feel at ease, and even more I can't rest in peace."

"...Yes, according to your wishes."

In order to prove that she really didn't have the slightest intention of being angry with Lucini, the rigid lady knight had no choice but to agree to the capricious and unreasonable request of the saint.

However, for the perennially stern lady knight, this is really a bit difficult.

After saying this, Miss Knight pursed her lips and remained silent for a long while, finally she narrowed her eyes slightly and curled the corners of her mouth under Lucini's tearful sight.

Come on, Bedwell, isn't it just a smile?It's no big deal, think about how Abner faked a smile, just learn from it!

...Unfortunately, this smile is still a bit blunt.

Even thinking back to the way that Abner guy changed from expressionless to a pleasing smile in an instant, and learning how to mobilize his facial muscles, the effect of forcing a smile is still the same.

Such an expression was really too difficult for Bedwell.

Bedwell would never have tried to learn this if it hadn't been for the request of the Holy Maiden, in order to calm Lucini's mood.

If Lucy Ni cried because of her in front of her, she would never be able to forgive herself—it would be too dereliction of duty to make someone she protect cry or something.

"...Holding, sorry, my lord, I can't do it."

Under Lucini's gaze, Bedwell's ears were a little red, and with her cheeks burning hot, she gave up the act of forcing a gentle and amiable smile, and apologized to Lucini with a bit of embarrassment.

"There is nothing to be sorry for, dear Bei Wei." Lucy Ni opened her arms and hugged Miss Knight. If she didn't get such a cold and hard armor, the saint would be even happier, "It's Lu who deliberately made things difficult for you. , you don't have to take it to heart."

"If one day, one day, Bei Wei wants to laugh, she will face Lu..."

"—laugh at me."

The author has something to say: the royal family is stupid except for the queen.Lucy Ni called herself "I" get for the first time.
