The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

Lady Saintess failed to hold Miss Knight's hand, and the voice from next door attracted her—and Miss Knight's attention—of course, this is not because the sound insulation effect of Lapuyard's houses is too poor, but because That sound was as conspicuous as the three days above the sky to Lucini who was alerting her surroundings with divine power.

The two girls looked at each other, and another voice came from the next door. The voice was familiar to the two girls and belonged to His Royal Highness Prince Ernest.

"Hey calm down little guy—!"

The long sword returns to its sheath.The owner of the purest blood of the royal family, His Royal Highness Prince Ernest, who has a noble status and will definitely inherit this country in the future, is trying to get rid of the little girl who is biting on his arm with a mouthful of small teeth. girl.

It can be said that it has lost all the face of the Drante royal family—well, this royal family seems to have no face.

Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness who has a younger sister who always cheats his brother, Ernest still has some experience in dealing with little girls, about .So, he asked, "Uh, well, are your teeth okay?"

He couldn't shake off the opponent violently, the little guy's body was probably not big enough for him to kick, besides, that would be too much.But it's not a big deal to have a little thing hanging on his arm. Fortunately, he sneaked away this time... He came out to investigate alone, so he wouldn't be laughed at by the royal knights.

The little girl who was asked blinked her eyes. Her face was thin and small, and she only had one pair of big and bright eyes. At this time, there was still a layer of angry mist in these eyes.

"Humph!"

The little girl hummed vaguely, but she didn't relax at all.To make it clear is that don't try to use this to make me let go.

"Do you know who you are biting?" His Royal Highness has never done such a thing of oppressing civilians with his identity, and he was a little ashamed to say it at the moment, so he quickly changed the subject, "If others find out, you Will be, will be dragged to copy books!"

"..."

"Can you let me go first?" The commoner who dared to bite His Royal Highness, this child is also No.1.What's even more remarkable is that His Royal Highness didn't feel angry at all, instead he spoke softly to her.

"..."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't jump to conclusions that your mother has left—maybe I was wrong. I also promise not to swing a sword at your mother, Mia?"

The little girl, Mia, who guarded her mother alone, finally let go of the noble prince.

"If Sister Aya was here, I wouldn't know a nobleman like you." She frowned and muttered in a low voice, feeling her mouth sour.

She was assured that without even looking at this handsome, upright young man with a righteous face, she walked to her mother's bed and pulled up the corner of the quilt: "Mom, Mia will cover you with the quilt. The goddess will bless you The disease recovered quickly."

"You..." Entered the house to talk to Mia on the pretext of knowing Aya accidentally.Seeing Mia's actions, Ernest hesitated to speak.Then, a girl's voice seemed to sound from behind his ears.

—“What disease did your mother suffer from?”

His Royal Highness turned his head, his eyes immediately widened in surprise.That lady saint who was supposed to stay in the Radiant Temple came here at some point!

Lucini smiled at the stunned Ernest, causing the prince to turn his head hastily.He said forcefully: "That's right, this is the honorable saint and her knight. Your mother's illness is nothing but a trivial matter. Maybe it can be cured. No, there must be a solution!"

In this way, His Royal Highness helped Luxini boast. This guy is simply a loyal saint. Perhaps it is because His Highness was rescued by Luxini every time His Royal Highness was beaten to death by His Royal Highness.Plus Lucini's appearance was so deceiving that he couldn't help blushing when he laughed.

Hey, why did Miss Bedwell stare at him?

As for Ernest's words, Lucy Ni didn't answer.Instead, he asked gently: "Although Lu can't promise to cure this lady, can you let Lu take a look at your mother?"

"Don't try to lie to me. I heard that the Holy Maiden never leaves the temple, so it's impossible to come here."

Although the young lady on the opposite side seems to match the characteristics of the saintess that everyone said, but no one has seen it. Who knows if it is true?

Mia showed an attitude of protecting the woman behind her. If Lucy Ni insisted on going over, she would have to let Bedwell forcefully move her away.For Mia's non-cooperation, that's exactly what Miss Knight planned.

Lucy Ni pressed Bedwell's hand and looked at Mia with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, we are priests invited by your neighbor, Ms. Mary."

"Then, let's see." Hearing Mary's name, Mia stepped aside.

The divine power searched and wrapped around Mia's mother's wrist.Lucy Ni's face was gloomy, but Ernest's reckless end was caught by them. Naturally, she would not say that "this lady has no breath or pulse, and has left us completely".

And Bedwell stood beside her, her fiery red pupils carefully and calmly sizing up the other's naked skin, no emotion could be seen on her face.

There was no need to investigate at all, Miss Knight could conclude that this poor woman had already passed away.For some reason, she felt a little strange, and always felt that the corpse was weird.

Not long after, Lucini ended her investigation. Facing the little girl who firmly believed that "mother is just asleep", she thought about her words: "Mia's mother is having a long, long dream. It's a pity Yes, Lu couldn't bring her out of the dream."

Mia tilted her head to look at her with her eyes open, without speaking.

Now, they have another problem.

Lucy heard what Ernest said clearly.Mia, the name of this little girl, in the file she read, there is a missing girl's sister named Mia.Thanks to Ernest, he investigated everything about the missing person.The mother who raised two children alone, the ingenious elder daughter and the obedient and sensible younger daughter.

In this family, the elder sister named Aya disappeared, and the mother named Harriet had also...gone.And the only remaining child is still unwilling to believe this. How can the little one who is only eight years old survive alone?

Looking at the other person's face, Lucini felt a little affectionate. She patted the little girl's head: "Would Mia want to go to the temple to practice magic?"

Hearing this, His Royal Highness widened his eyes, as if he really wanted to agree to Mia.

Mia refused without thinking: "No, we have no money."

"No money." According to the information, Ms. Harriet is a devout believer, and her children naturally believe in Itenna half-understood.Lucy Nicole had no doubts about Mia's safety.

"Mia has to wait for her sister to come back, Mia won't leave."

The little girl tugged at the corner of her clothes.Not only my mother, but also my sister.She won't follow others casually, she still has to guard the house.

She raised her head: "Big sister, are you and that idiot nobleman over there looking for sister?"

"Well, sort of." Naturally, the matter of the missing girl had to be resolved.Lucy replied.

"Then..." Mia hesitantly took out a delicately woven ring and a piece of crumpled paper from her pocket, "My sister hasn't come home yet, Mia is very worried. This is... it's Mia I picked it up in the morning. That ring was made by my sister."

Lucini took the two items, and the weak power fluctuations on them caused her body to pause imperceptibly, and then she asked calmly, "Does Mia know anything?"

"Well, the paper said that my sister is going to marry a strange person." Mia pursed her lips, "Mia doesn't want her sister to get married."

marry?

Lucini handed the paper to Bedwell, and His Royal Highness seemed to want to come over to have a look, but when he thought of Miss Knight's aura, he stood back silently, just looking at this side helplessly .Mia never told him this!

"If Aya is unwilling to marry her, Lu can help Mia bring her sister back."

Those missing girls, maybe this is the breakthrough point, as for whether they are willing or not, how could they be willing!

I talked to Mia a few more times, asked everything she knew from the little girl, and made a few guarantees. The two girls and a prince finally left.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents from happening, Lucini conveniently cast a protective spell on the little girl.If something happens, she can sense it immediately.

After that, the three exchanged the information they knew and the details they perceived.

They were then divided into two teams. Naturally, Lucini was with Bedwell, and His Royal Highness could only be alone.The two teams went to each civilian home where a missing girl was found.The reason for not looking for homes where male civilians died is because Mary's family is the only one that hasn't disposed of the body.

When the radiant light was lowered for three days and only the radiant sun was still hanging in the air, the three of them gathered together again.

The intelligence exchanged was less optimistic.The only one who received a note saying they were married was Mia, that is to say, among the missing girls, only Aya had news.

As for the power fluctuations on the note, Lucini has already used divine power to detect it. In order to prevent omissions, she even asked every priest in the temple to use divine power to sense it, but found nothing.

What's worse, the master of power seems to have discovered that someone is looking for him, the paper ignited in the wind and turned into ashes, and the fluctuation naturally disappeared completely.

Even worse, there seems to be no connection between the dead man and the missing girl.

They may have to find a better way to solve these two things.

The last afterglow of the shining sun also disappeared into the air.

Mia was lying on the edge of the bed, seemingly asleep.

On the bed, Harriet, who was judged dead by Ernest and Lucini, suddenly opened her eyes.

It was a pair of beast-like pupils, with an ominous scarlet.

She sat up, and the movement woke Mia up.The little girl rubbed her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the other party, she shouted in surprise: "Mom, you're awake! Mom, are you hungry? Mia is going to cook you some food!"

While talking, the little girl turned around excitedly to leave.

Harriet turned her head to look at Mia. Her lips were bright red, but her face was pale like a banshee. She slowly opened her mouth towards her child.

Under the light of the red gold moon, in her mouth, the fangs that could not belong to the human race gleamed coldly.
