The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

When Bedwell returned to the room, she didn't see Lucini who was supposed to be waiting in the room.Of course, Lucini's contracted goblin muffin was raised as a ball by the attendants of His Excellency the Pope recently, and it has been a long time since she returned to Lucini's place.

But there's a, uh, big box with a ribbon bow in the room?

Miss Knight walked over with some hesitation.

This box still looks familiar, it seems to be the one she used to pack the harness.

However, her filly, Black Beauty, doesn't like harnesses, so the harnesses specially made by Bedwell for her stature, and even the harnesses prepared for the growth of the filly in the future, were put on hold. .The saddlery and the boxes that were later lost their use were recycled.

Unexpectedly, this big harness box that she thought she had lost a long time ago appeared here?

Bedwell approached the box hesitantly.

If she heard correctly, there was another creature's gentle breathing in this room.

Pressing the buckle with her fingers, Miss Knight held her breath and slowly opened it.

"My lord..." she whispered helplessly.

Huddled in the box with her knees in her arms, the saint lowered her head, her long silver hair covering her expression.

"Master Saint?" After hesitating for a few seconds, Miss Knight bent down, "This place is narrow, please come out."

no respond.

It seems that the saint fell asleep while "packing herself in a box".

Is it because you have been too tired recently?Indeed, the home country of Flynn, the home country of Bedivere, is not very safe recently, and some incidents have happened in the territory, which is very likely to affect the bordering Itenna.At the same time, several missionaries who traveled to the mainland lost contact with the temple.

Thinking of this, Miss Knight no longer tried to wake up the Holy Maiden, she lovingly and carefully carried the Holy Maiden out of the box.

For Bedwell, Lucini, who couldn't practice martial arts and never exercised her body, was light and fluffy—not even as heavy as her long-lance Caladebo!

Lucini's hands spontaneously hugged her neck.

This move startled Bedwell, and made her pause in place for almost half a minute.

Sleeping in this kind of place is still too wronged, Mrs. Saintess.Thinking silently, Bedwell moved more gently.Of course, she tried her best to ignore the accusation made by the Holy Maiden who was aggrieved in her sleep——Bei Wei hasn't come back yet!

When she moved Lucini to the bed and tucked her in the quilt, Miss Knight sharply noticed the white petals entwined in the hair of Lady Saint.Just questioning where this flower came from, Bedwell picked it off.

"I wish you a sweet dream, my lord saint."

After placing the girl in place and removing the palm of her grasping her wrist, Bedwell simply went out and stood guard outside the room.

It didn't take long, and Lucini, who had fallen asleep smelling the scent of pink flowers after waiting too long, woke up.

The quilt slipped from her shoulders, she rubbed her eyes and yawned, and then she came back from her dazed consciousness, looking at the closed box and the white petals blooming on the top of the box, Lucini almost exclaimed speak out.

She... Bei Wei came back, but she fell asleep?In other words, the surprise she specially prepared...and that flower, why is it so familiar, isn't it the pink flower that she sneaked back last time?

gosh.Lucini couldn't help but want to cover her face and groan.

Immediately afterwards, Lucy Ni heard Bedivere's inquiry outside the door, and she hurriedly said: "My dear, don't come in yet!"

After speaking, the Holy Maiden jumped off the bed barefoot.

Originally, I thought that the flower could have such an ulterior effect, but the effect left by leaving the flower forest for too long is only hypnosis!The saint, who felt cheated, was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.

So the Holy Maiden angrily destroyed the scattered petals—sweeping them from the top of the box, and trampled on them angrily—in fact, these flowers had dried up quickly after they turned into petals, and even under her feet I can't feel a trace of moisture, only stepped on some powder.

It took Bedwell some time to sort out these petals so that they would not break.At this moment, it was snapped off by the saintess.

Little did they know that it was only because of the power of the saintess herself that the power of those flowers had been diluted to a more peaceful appearance, and in addition to losing the support of the forest early, the effect that cannot be described below the neck was gone, not to mention the power of the flowers. Torn apart by Lucini.

It was also because of this that Bedwell did not discover what kind of flower those petals belonged to, which allowed Lucini to escape a righteous lecture.

And Luxini's sleepiness had nothing to do with that flower, it was just because she stayed in such a place, in a dark environment, the exhaustion that had been suppressed surged up, she fell drowsy, and finally fell asleep.

However, the current Saintess urgently needs a way to vent her inner frustration, and it doesn't matter whether Hua is innocent or not.

When she finally calmed down, a lot of time had passed.The expression on her face returned to gentleness and peace, at least she could no longer see how annoyed or angry she was outside.

Lucini cleared her throat: "Okay, dear Bei Wei, please come in."

"Yes, Saint..." Miss Knight felt relieved after receiving Lucini's response, and pushed the door open.

Bedwell blinked in confusion: "My lord, why are you squatting in this harness box? It is too hard and can easily hurt your delicate skin. Please come out."

Lucini poked half of her head out of the harness box, only showing a pair of eyes: "The gift must be opened by the recipient!"

"Uh, a gift?" Bedwell hesitated, "But you don't have to shut yourself up in such a place to suffer, please get up."

"No, no, no, we need Bei Wei to fish out Lu. Lu is a gift for Bei Wei—ah!"

"Master Saint, it's time for you to eat. Please come back to play such a game after dinner."

While saying this, Bedwell held the opponent's armpit with undeniable strength, and lifted the saint out of the box.

Lucini's face was unusually red.She opened her eyes, as if she hadn't reacted yet.After a short period of sluggishness, there was a certain kind of embarrassment towards Bedwell for being so simple and rude.

Of course, she is the saintess who has done the best face-saving project and is the best at pretentiousness in Iten!

Lucini quickly rolled her eyes: "Ah, Bei Wei has met the conditions, so now it's time for the 'keeper of the token of defeating the dragon' to give the 'token' to the 'Brave Bei Wei'!"

Lucini, who was standing inside the box, spread out her palm, which was something she had prepared to give to Bedwell a long time ago.Originally, when Bedwell came back to open the box, Lucini sent herself up as a token, and then gave it to her by the way.Unfortunately, it all went to waste because Lucini fell asleep halfway.

"You deserve it, take it honey."

"You..." That was something that shouldn't have disappeared.

"Huh? There's no way, even the saintesses of the Radiance Temple can't come up with a gift comparable to the Philosopher's Stone. Or does Bei Wei hate this gift?"

"...No, I like it very much." Miss Knight blinked to let the moisture disappear from her eyes, she repeated, "I like it very much."

As if she didn't notice the strangeness in her tone, Lucini stuffed this gift into Bedwell's hands.With a flip of her palm, she took out another dozen hair ropes from the interspatial bag—that's right, it was a real dozen, a thick handful of colorful hair ropes.

"Because my dear lost the hair rope that Lu once gave to Bei Wei, then this is another gift from Lu to Bei Wei! Lu prepared a lot this time, don't be afraid of losing it!" Lucy Ni said. Putting her chest together, she announced "dominantly", "From now on, Lu will tie Bei Wei's hair!"

"..." Looking at those hair ties in all kinds of bright colors, and thinking about the fact that the saint has never tied her own hair, Bedwell tried hard to swallow the words of refusal, and said tactfully, "the saint , please don’t let me take up your precious time, let alone this is what I should do..."

"Does Bei Wei dislike Lu?" It sounded like she was about to cry.

"No, I will never dislike you."

"Then honey, let's try it now!"

※※※

The sleeping mad lion Aldrich Delante, His Majesty the noble king of Etern, after following the good news that his eldest son had a heated fight with his chosen assistant, the second daughter was abducted by goblins and ran away to explore what kind of sky garden After the bad news from Babylon, he didn’t know whether he should say: I hope you don’t come, and I panic as soon as you name me, or: I hope you can come a few more times to exchange feelings and knowledge with the royal family. wealth, people.

...From the current point of view, the other party has always been jointly supported by the royal family of Derrante and the Royal Academy, which will help to enhance the reputation of the royal family of Derrante and prevent them from being completely overwhelmed by the Shrine of Radiance.

The lack of help must be because the other party is too low-key, and only a few students and teachers of the Royal Academy and members of the royal family can see it.Most people, even if they saw him, would not associate it with that aspect.

His Majesty the King stroked the back of his head - no way, who made his wife Ilsa not like a bearded beard?His Majesty the King had to reluctantly give up his favorite "manly" look.

"Hey, Your Excellency the Great Sage." His Majesty the King asked, "What can I do for you?"

Facing this man with closed eyes and a gentle smile, Aldrich was like a child who hadn't grown up facing his strict father, with weak calves.

Don't look at this guy smiling so kindly, he's such a harsh devil!

Aldrich, who had received special care from the great sage Cecilia at the request of Ilsa, if it hadn’t been for the Queen quietly pinching him behind him, the first sentence would have been: “Do you want to do this?” Just do whatever you want, don’t tell me, I will never stop you.”

Fortunately, the great sage is blind, so he cannot see His Majesty the king's forced smile at this moment.

His Excellency the Great Sage said: "Don't worry, Aldrich. I just think that I should tell you this news."

"Seven days later, I will start the ceremony in Lapuyard." His tone was a little helpless, "then there will be a lot of movement."

"No problem!" His Majesty the King didn't know what ceremony the Great Sage was going to perform, so he just agreed first, "At that time, I will order those boys under my command not to let civilians approach, and I will not let any intelligent race destroy this place." What ceremony."

Don't say that you came here to tell him on purpose, it's okay to mess around casually without telling him, after all, the other party is the heroic spirit of Itenna and the guardian of this country.Even if he was as awesome as him, he still feels powerless like a child in front of the great sage.

A strong man who cannot be stopped has the privilege of ignoring order and law - because no one is strong enough to catch him and judge him.

It would be better to say that the great sage's actions made His Majesty the king feel that the royal family was greatly respected.

"...Then, is there anything else you can do, Your Excellency the Great Sage?" His Majesty the King asked cautiously—suddenly and resolutely (there is no way, the queen really hurts when pinching someone).

"There is indeed one more thing."

Not long after, His Excellency the Great Sage left.

Aldrich immediately lost his face and looked at his wife: "Dear Il..."

"Every time Your Excellency Cecilia comes here, you are such a bear, Odd, you, alas!"

The gentle and steady queen was also a flower on the battlefield when she was young, but after she married His Majesty the king, she restrained her sharpness and became gentle.At this time, he shook his head with a look of hatred for iron.

"Uh, I think it's okay? Anyway, there's still Il you—oh, don't, don't pull my ears, sweetheart!"

"Shut up, the child is still screaming like that at such an age, don't you think it's too irritable?"

"Aw, aw, I won't yell, I won't yell, save me some face, Il, Il!"

The author has something to say: Scrapping and cupping are really unbearable pain, why didn't □□ shout out, how can there be strength to howl in such pain? !Yes, thank you fdcb5 for the grenade, it costs money

■

Bedwell (staring at the saint in the box): ... (It must not be possible to treat the saint like a cat, so, bring it up?)

Lucini (smiling and waving): You caught meow~Lu is yours now~

Queen (hate that iron cannot be made into steel): What are you advocating?Still not a man!

King (with a sad face): I usually only love three people, my sweet wife, my precious daughter, and the devil sage... No man... No man...

Prince (poor): What about me, father?
