The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

"From today onwards, you are the sage of Itenna, congratulations."

Even though she really wanted to leave directly, facing the new favorite of the king, the sage who is very likely to hold the real power of the empire, the status of "Holy Maiden" who is known as the "spokesperson of God" made Lucini unable to just wave her sleeves and leave. Anyway, I have to say a word or two.She had to follow the usual etiquette to congratulate the center point of the banquet.

"Thank you for your blessing." The sage of Youyue still attaches great importance to Luxini who came to bless and congratulate him, and he still has that neither humble nor humble smile on his face. Sydney's perfect smile deserves a fight.

But Lucini was no longer willing to argue with him. If she wanted to say polite words, you could come and talk with me for more than ten minutes without stopping.

So Lucini said directly in an apologetic voice: "Please send greetings to Your Excellency the Great Sage on behalf of Lu and Bei Wei. Bei Wei still has to protect Lu personally, so she can't visit His Excellency the Great Sage. Please don't blame me."

"Your kindness, I must truthfully convey it to the teacher." Abner replied immediately without being dazed for a moment because of Lucini's rapid change of subject.

"Then Lu will thank you, Your Excellency the Sage first." Lucini lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted, "Please forgive Lu for leaving first."

Lucy Ni left after she finished speaking, not dragging her feet at all, and Bedwell naturally followed quickly.The red-eyed girl tilted her head slightly, and Abner seemed to have noticed Bedwell's gaze, and the eyes of the two collided, and he showed a smile at Bedwell, which was extremely standard, with the corners of his mouth The arc is not too much and not too little, and it is the kind that can most arouse the favor of others.

Puppet, hypocrisy.Making such an evaluation, Bedwell frowned and turned her head away.

Because of Bedwell's existence, Lucini didn't need personal guards.So on the way back to the temple, there were only two girls.

"My lord saint, you talked too much with that little sage." After a long time, Bedwell finally spoke, her tone was full of disapproval and a bit of hidden worry.

Lucini turned her head, blinked her eyes, and said in a cheerful and lively tone: "Why, is my dear Bei Wei jealous? Don't worry, Lu's heart will always be only with Bei Wei!"

"Eat, eat, no, I just..." The red-haired girl was speechless.

In fact, just because under the eyes of so many people, as a representative of the Radiance Temple, every word and deed of the saintess will be interpreted in different ways.Just as Lucini had said a few friendly words to the newly promoted sage, Bei Wei had already detected the voices of some nobles, for example speculating about the relationship between the newly promoted sage and the Radiant Temple.

Moreover, as for that little sage—that person always gave Bedwell a sense of incongruity.There's nothing wrong with that feeling.If possible, Bedwell hoped that after this day, Lady Saint would never have anything to do with her again.

In the end, these words turned around in her mouth, and Bedwell just said calmly: "My lord, the subject and the little sage came from the same school, and they are both teacher's disciples. I know the other party's past actions. That person ,Too dangerous."

"It's okay, Bei Wei doesn't have to worry. Lu has her own measure." Hearing her knight's advice, Lu Xini saw that there was no one around, and grabbed her hand, "Bei Wei cares about Lu so much, Lu is so happy! But also I hope Bei Wei can trust Lu a little more, okay?"

"Saint, Saintess, please don't do this in public, in case someone sees it...!"

Bedwell wanted to withdraw her hand, but the delicate and soft hands of the silver-haired and snow-skinned girl grabbed hers, hands like fragile porcelain made Bedwell dare not use too much strength, but Lu Xini can't make a false grip. In order to prevent being broken free, Lucy used 12 points of strength.One ebbs and another, so that the two sides have come to a stalemate.

Bedwell was extremely embarrassed, and a little blush appeared on her face.

Lucy Ni looked at Bedwell with a smile, her eyes were dyed a strange color due to divine power, and these eyes looked at Bedwell intently, reflecting the tenderness and youthfulness of a girl with scarlet pupils. Heroic face.

No matter how you look at it, it’s not too much.

Lucini didn't speak, just stared at Bedwell, under her gaze, a faint red cloud gradually climbed up Bedwell's face.

"Holy, Holy Maiden..." Bedwell settled down, "Although you are really beautiful, even a minister can't help but admire the gods for your pity. The brilliance of three days cannot be concealed, your face is flawless, and even the harshest people cannot criticize..."

Lucini opened her eyes slightly: "How is it? Is Bei Wei attracted to Lu?"

"No, please let go of my hand."

"Bei Wei, don't you still boast that you look good?" Lucy Ni had a accusing expression of "how can you be so ruthless is unbelievable".

"That's right, you are the highest masterpiece of God." Bedwell said, "But your actions like this will undoubtedly damage your image outside."

"What if Lu doesn't let go?"

"My lord, you are making me very troubled." Bedwell sighed, "It doesn't matter how you want to treat me, but if you lose your reputation because of me, I will definitely die blame."

Luxini reluctantly let go of Bedwell's hand.

The two walked back and forth for a while, and Lucy Ni suddenly said, "Bei Wei, you and that little sage came from the same school, and now he has become a distinguished sage and got his own title. Will be put to good use, with the support of the royal family to show its strength."

Lucy Ni paused for a moment before turning around to look at Bedwell's expression: "And you have all your martial arts knowledge but you can only live behind me. Do you regret it later?"

"My lord." The sound of the armor colliding sounded behind her, and the girl with fiery eyes knelt on the ground on one knee, "It is the honor of Bedivere's life to serve and protect her. "

Her words were firm and powerful: "What you want is what I want, and what you want is what I want. I will never regret it."

"Bei Wei..." Lucy Ni turned her head, her long hair glistened under the three-day sun, and if it wasn't for the backlight, her eyes might also be glistening.

"I will take good care of you, please don't worry." Bedwell said with relief, "You don't have to worry about gains and losses. Compared with serving the king—or anything else, being able to be a member of your side is the biggest thing for me happiness."

"Bevy..."

"My lord saint, you are better than anyone else, I am so insignificant, your praise makes me not panic—"

"No, my dear Bei Wei, you listen to me - please stand up, don't kneel on the ground, what if you are sick?" Lucy Ni interrupted Bedwell's words and knelt down at the slightest disagreement The red-haired girl in front of her made Lucini a little melancholy, it doesn't matter who kneels in front of her, but Lucini hoped that Bedwell would not do this.

Bedwell was still half-kneeling, she didn't intend to stand up at all, but lowered her head even deeper.

Seeing that the other party was about to make an apology or something else, Lucy Ni hurriedly said: "Lu didn't mean to blame Bei Wei, on the contrary, Bei Wei was very happy to be able to say that. But..."

"but……?"

"My dear Bevy, Lu hopes you don't underestimate yourself. Trust Lu, Lu thinks you are more outstanding than most people in the world." It's just that sometimes it's a little too brainy.Of course, Lucini would never say these words.She looked at Bedwell, and the sincere look on her face changed quickly: "Bevie has belittled herself in such a hurry, is she shy because she likes Lu? Lu is so happy!"

"...Nope." Bedwell paused suspiciously for a few seconds, then coughed dryly, "My lord, I just abide by the virtue of modesty among chivalry virtues... and your praise really makes Chen pause. Feeling shallow and ashamed of myself, but not out of love for you."

"...Oh." Luxini's expression immediately collapsed.

Although the reddish complexion shows that Miss Knight is a little ashamed of her own reason, but the saint who was heartbroken by Miss Knight's incomprehensible style decided not to pay attention to this straightforward girl who doesn't know how to flatter her. .

A ladylike and elegant smile came back on her face.It has changed back to the quiet, noble, elegant, holy, and full of affinity-in short, the saint who is composed of a bunch of commendatory words.

Along the way, many residents cast reverent glances and loud words of thanks.The residents of the imperial capital all knew the appearance of the saint and the knights who followed her, and there was silence between the two until they returned to the gate of the Temple of Light.

Lucini stopped in her tracks and looked up at the simple gate not far away. As long as she crossed the long stairs, she could come to the gate, enter the gate, cross the hall, and walk through the corridor to return to the temple. inside too.

Lucini stopped, and Bedwell naturally also stopped.

After saluting to Lucini, the clergymen in clean white robes either went up the stairs to return to the temple or left the temple to merge into the street. The saintess had long been used to the behavior of standing at the door of her own temple and not moving.They can always find corresponding reasons for the saint, such as accepting the baptism of the pure breath of the temple, sensing the breath of God, feeling the occurrence of disasters outside the temple, and so on.

Finally, Lu Xini spoke: "Being able to teach such excellent disciples as Bei Wei and the little sage, Lu is really more and more curious about that sage."

"My lord saint?" Bedwell obviously didn't understand why Lucy Ni, who had already exposed such a topic, brought up this topic again, and she also showed a strong interest in it. Could it be that the silence along the way was the result of Is it because you are thinking about the topic of "what kind of person is that Heroic Spirit of Itenna"?

"Bei Wei will sleep in Lu's room tonight, come and talk to Lu?"

The author has something to say: Lucini (unbelievable): Didn't you say I'm pretty?Why don't you like me?

Poor Lady Saint who can't solve the problem with her face.
