The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

Standing by the window of the room and looking out, you can see almost half of the imperial capital.

Within the walls of the temple, priests come and go, and believers who come to pray go to the place where the corresponding priest is under the guidance of the nuns.

Beyond the high walls of the temple are the wide and smooth streets of the imperial capital.

The snow willow trees planted beside the street are blooming, and the petals of those flowers, which are as soft as cotton wool and as white as snowflakes, dance in the air, and a layer of white falls on the ground.These flowers belonging to early summer and late spring filled the streets of most of the imperial capital. It has been around for many years and has never changed.

Also unchanged, there are flowers blooming under the snow willow tree with a hint of sweet fragrance.

Residents are busy.

They hung wind chimes on the eaves, hung lanterns on the branches of snow willow trees, and then put up signs on the side of the road, and mobile vendors—approved mobile vendors appeared.One of the vendors attracted most of Lucini's attention. What was that person drawing with sugar juice on that white slate?

As for the stores on the street, various new products were also displayed on the stalls, which were special gifts that would only appear in such a grand ceremony.

By the fountain in the square, a bard holding a harp is playing and singing stories from all over the world. There are several children around him. The bard stopped, and Lucini saw that he seemed to reach out and touch it. A child's hair.

From a high place, you can only see many small dots, but you can't see their expressions.But if you think about it, you should be very happy.

Luxini rested her chin and blinked her eyes.

Among them, some figures that are different from humans can even be seen on the streets, and their characteristics are not concealed. Those are travelers from other intelligent races.

Eterna, the Kingdom of Eternity and Glory is not stingy with friendly exchanges with other races. As for the so-called slave trade—those intelligent beings who often live longer than humans and have more time and life, how can they become human nobles? plaything?

Kill the humans long before they catch them.As for coaxing, the intelligent race that has lived for so many years is not a fool.

Looking at the records of the previous visitors from other worlds, they all seem to be concerned about "the elves are not the sex-slaves of ugly nobles", "how is the orcs not cheap and stupid labor slaves", "why there is no There are obedient country bumpkin dwarf masters but only human-like dwarves", "It must be the fault of you hypocritical priests that the powerful and free demons are not the masters of this world", etc. confidence.

For so many years, the various races have been able to live in peace and harmony precisely because everyone is getting along with each other and knows the bottom line that cannot be touched.

Of course, it does not include the necromancers and demons whose kingdoms do not exist on this continent.

Born because of the strong obsession after death, any race may become a member of the Necromancer family after death, but they are no longer living beings.As for the demons, those cruel and powerful creatures that were born in the mirror of the world and are sworn enemies with all the races on the mainland are not tolerated by this world.

As for the thoughts of visitors from other worlds, Lucini, who read these books and recorded their remarks, felt extremely incomprehensible.Ultimately, the girls identified as "self-righteous and pretentious."

However, in recent years, there have been more foreign races who have come to the imperial capital to participate in the celebration?

The Holy Maiden changed her posture and stared at the eyes of the intelligent beings walking in the imperial capital, feeling a little dazed.

In fact, this festival is a celebration held by the happy King to celebrate the arrival of His Royal Highness Princess Grace 15 years ago on the day of her birth.This celebration has been held for 15 years. From the order announced to the world, to the spontaneous gathering of the subjects, we sincerely celebrate it as a festival.

It has been several days since returning to the imperial capital and the temple. As soon as Luxini came back, she became a "temple maid" and hadn't gone out for a long time.Grace's birthday has arrived before she knows it.

In order to express his love for his daughter, and to announce the importance of the pearl of Itenna to the world, it shows that Grace is not only the pearl of the empire, but also him, the king who has made great achievements in battle, and the most beloved one. The apple of the eye.The celebration requested by His Majesty the King was undoubtedly a success.

At the same time, it is also a blessing.

I wish Grace, a child who almost died at birth, a safe growth and a happy life.

As for His Royal Highness, who was two years older than His Royal Highness, His Majesty the King, who seemed carefree, didn't think he needed any celebrations at all - anyway, as long as this stupid son with good health had something to do.Thinking of it, I still have some sympathy for the freed prince.

Lucini sighed softly.

Speaking of which, did her parents bless her from the bottom of their hearts and hope that she can live a good life?For Lucini, the days after she was born and under the care of her parents were too short, so short that she couldn't even finish listening to the words her parents tried to say after naming herself.Then……

All smiles were interrupted by the attack.

Did they regret giving birth to her before they were killed by that alien visitor?If it weren't for her, they should have lived a good life without having to suffer such unreasonable disasters.

If she wasn't a representative chosen by God, if she wasn't a shameless accomplice in the mouth of visitors from another world...she would definitely be as happy as Grace.

But if that was the case, she wouldn't be able to meet Bedwell.As long as you think about it this way, a certain kind of sadness is blown away like the wind and becomes another emotion.It is impossible to determine whether it is fear or rejoicing, and it is impossible to know whether it is luck or misfortune.

"My Lady. Your Lady?"

The red-haired, fiery-eyed lady knight announced that the girls of the Holy Maiden's Guardian Knights would be on vacation after today's morning class, and then she found Lucy who was standing in the room of the watchtower, watching the situation in the imperial capital. Ni.All the changing expressions on Lucini's face were captured in his eyes, but he thoughtfully did not disturb her, but was thinking about why the Holy Maiden was in a daze with a somewhat lovable and sad expression.

until now.She had to interrupt Lady Saint's thoughts: "My Lady, Her Highness Grace is here to see you. Do you need to see her?"

Today is not Monday.Although as Lucini's friend, Bedwell is no stranger to her for a long time, and she even unilaterally regards Miss Knight as a friend, which makes Bedwell agree with it, but the necessary procedures Bedwell will not be omitted.

Otherwise, what if some ignorant guys want to learn from Her Royal Highness and directly break into the place where Lucini is?

Reason told Bedwell that this is impossible, no one would dare to do such a thing, but she still strictly abides by this rule.In any case, this rule still needs to be maintained in front of outsiders.

However, this time, Her Highness Grace did not obediently wait outside the door.

This supposedly "extremely delicate" caster kicked open the half-hidden door, rushed into the room with open arms, and gave the poor and bewildered lady a big bear hug.

No one other than Lucini and the Pope would easily set foot on the watchtower, and Her Royal Highness, who had no outsiders present, completely let go of her nature: "Lulu! I miss you so much! You don't even come to play with me! It's too much! "

Then the princess turned her head to look at Bedwell: "There's also Bei Wei, hurry up and let me give you a hug!"

"...His Highness Grace, please calm down." Bedwell took a step back in a quiet and fair manner, and lowered her head, "If there is something, please explain it to the Holy Lady with a normal tone and volume."

"Being disgusted, Bei Wei is fierce. She escaped from the academy with great difficulty." Her Royal Highness cried and cried, but actually let go of Lucini obediently.

She patted the skirt that was wrinkled by her actions, and then smoothed out the blond hair that was not tied up, but was scattered around her shoulders.Perhaps it was because today was her birthday, so Her Royal Highness changed the caster's robe into a skirt, and her hair fell down casually according to her own preferences.Compared to maintaining the elegance and arrogance that people respect and stay away from, it is a bit cuter.

While tidying herself up, she said: "Obviously Beiwei is super gentle to Lulu, but she is so fierce to her, I am envious of others."

A brown-haired, green-eyed goblin flew out from behind Her Royal Highness, and Fusang stretched out her small hands to smooth the curled hair of Her Royal Highness.

Grace held Fusang's hand and said with a smile, "Little Fusang is the best for me, hehehe."

Muffin, who was quietly sitting aside and eating snacks, tilted her head in confusion.

As for Bedwell, the lady knight didn't pay attention to Her Royal Highness who started to bluff when there was no one else. Anyway, it was not once or twice that this Highness said that she was too fierce, and she was used to it.

She was asking her object of service with a little worry: "My lord, how do you feel?"

Why is the saint so silent?Could it be that His Royal Highness Grace hit him somewhere?

"Is Bei Wei worried? Lu is fine!"

Lucy Ni held—trying to hold Bedwell's hand, but after knowing that she was "all right", the girl immediately took a step back and said respectfully, "It's just that you're all right."

... Lady Saint suddenly felt that she was very busy.

The commotion didn't last long, and Her Royal Highness finally revealed her reason for coming - if she hadn't snatched the poor fairy's snacks, and Fusang didn't hesitate whether to help Grace or the muffins, the little guy would probably like her more.

"Let's go out and play, Lulu, Beiwei! Do you want to play too? Don't try to hide it from my eyes, huh huh~ I heard Lulu crying and saying, 'Ah, Lu also wants to Walking in the crowd, I really want to play freely', I came to you, not because I wanted to play with you."

Perhaps because of being in the academy for a long time, the original character of Her Royal Highness seems to be even more undisguised.She folded her arms, with an expression of "see how much I think about you, come and praise me".

Lucini had no choice but to say that she was indeed a little curious about the celebration, but she never cried like Grace said.Lady Saint has never shed tears, so how could she cry just because she wanted to go out and play?

But Bedwell took it seriously, and blamed herself on the lady knight who didn't see the needs of the saint, and asked seriously: "Yes, is that so? Did you want to go out and cry, lady saint? Sorry, lady saint , is the minister's dereliction of duty."

"That's right, you must be bored in the temple..."

Thinking that I kept running to the training ground after I came back, because I let down my vigilance inside the temple, did not follow Lucini all the time, and ignored the spiritual needs of the saint, the lady knight who began to reflect on herself tried her best to seek forgiveness, "If you... If you really want to go out and play, please let me follow and protect you."

"But, this..."

"There are a lot of delicious food today, which I can't usually eat!"

Her Royal Highness took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames. Instead of attracting Lucini's full promise, Muffin, who was gradually able to understand the common language of the human race, no longer held the empty snack bag sadly, and raised her eyes as bright as two small light bulbs. nod.

Stared at by two pairs of bright eyes, and a pair of eyes full of firmness and sincerity, Lucini reminded: "Uh, dear Bevy, lovely Grace, have you forgotten that you, and Lu... Is it not suitable for... um, going out casually together?"

Don't say anything about going out to play. It is estimated that the three of them will be surrounded when they walk out of the gate of the temple together.After all, they are rare saintesses, awe-inspiring knights, and hard-to-approach princesses.

This sentence, even if it is not stated clearly, can make the other party think of it immediately. After all, the few people present are no longer unfamiliar with such a scene.Does it mean that when going out to play, you have to maintain magic and divine skills so that others can't see you?What is the need to play like this?

"I've thought of it a long time ago!" Her Royal Highness took out something used for camouflage from her space ring.

After a while, under the escort of Miss Knight, the Holy Maiden was pulled out of the observation room by Her Royal Highness, and the three of them walked together on the streets of the imperial capital.Muffin and Fusang each sat on the shoulders of their contractors.

Lucy Ni's teeth were almost itchy, but she had to maintain an elegant smile, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, are you sure that this is a 'camouflage that is absolutely impossible to recognize'?"

They did have a camouflage, but this so-called camouflage...and—completely—absolutely can't play any role in camouflage.

Just wearing a bracelet like a smooth stone on the wrist.The subtle magic fluctuations originally made Lucini think that it was a magical alchemy tool that could cover up her body shape or project her own appearance into other appearances in the eyes of others, but after careful inspection, she found that this small magic was only for Prevent this thing from being damaged.

Her Royal Highness took it for granted: "With this, those subjects will know our wishes and won't be surrounded. Isn't that enough?"

"Enough is enough, but..." Lucini said with a helpless smile, "This seems to be the same as not changing clothes at all."

Exposed in front of the public with his original face, this appearance really makes people unable to let go.

In fact, Lucini understood what Grace meant.This means that they don't intend to pretend and don't want to be disturbed. If they dare to disturb, they will be at their own risk.But even so, how can Lucy Ni dare to express her thoughts like Grace?

The residents of the imperial capital must be disappointed when they see Luxini's childish performance.Like a disqualified saint, or something.If God's agent can't satisfy people's fantasies about her, can she still become a saint in the hearts of the people?

After all, whether it is for believers or unbelievers, the saint should be "elegant, noble, gentle, holy, and compassionate", without any other appearance.

With such thoughts in mind, Lady Saint's eyes were quickly attracted by the street vendors.Having no time to care about Her Royal Highness who had been snatched away by the mask vendor, her walking pace began to slow down, and her eyes that secretly glanced at the sugar figure were shining brightly.

The lady knight, who knew that her saintess never had such things as money and money, took down the candy figure of Lucini painted by the stall owner and handed it to her.

Miss Knight coughed a little uncomfortably: "My lord, is there anything else you want to buy?"

"Huh, huh? Please draw another... lu me, my knight's sugar figurine."

The author has something to say: Vendor owner: My Lord, Holy Maiden!Hurry up and draw a sugar figurine of Lady Saint, it will definitely sell well!

Vendor owner: Majesty, the saint is here, don't worry, I will definitely draw the perfect sugar man——
