The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

Be a mate.

For the people of Eterna, partner is a very wonderful word.

The tolerant Goddess Itenna believes that as long as they love each other, they can be together, regardless of men and women, so people in this country have loosened the barriers of gender, especially the intimacy between girls, it is no big deal.There may be some surprised eyes between men, but there is not even half a bit of surprise among women.

The two who become husband and wife may not love each other—the nobles will use their children as bargaining chips in exchange for benefits, and make marriage contracts for them.But this traditional and tolerant country does not adopt same-sex marriages—there will be no offspring between same-sex and same-sex, and these nobles need offspring to strengthen the friendship between the two families.

A partner does not necessarily need to be male and female.Compared with husband and wife, it covers a wider scope, and both parties must love each other.Same-sex couples cannot maintain their relationship with each other by entering into a marriage contract, so they need to pass more tests to be called partners.

If you want to spend your whole life with it, and use this idea to restrain yourself, and do it strictly, this is your partner.

Because of her father's consideration, the princess of the empire became somewhat curious about her partner.

Fortunately, His Majesty King Aldrich is not the kind of guy who can use his daughter's happiness as a bargaining chip, and he is just asking.Knowing that his lovely daughter was not happy, His Majesty the King dismissed the idea.

Lucini is no longer unfamiliar with Grace's occasional questions, but this time, the question made the saint a little difficult.

She tilted her head and lightly tapped her lips with her index finger: "Lu doesn't have a partner either, so I can only speculate."

The Holy Maiden's eyes glanced at her side with a serious look intentionally or unintentionally, and her body was as tense as a lady knight who was about to go to the battlefield.

"Probably the same mind, no matter what Lu needs, I will give it to Lu as soon as possible, no matter where Lu is, I will follow her, I will do things for Lu, and I will take care of Lu's loyal and reliable children. Lu is the same, all the time Thinking about someone?"

It's speculation, but it's actually more like blatantly counting the past one by one. In the end, she explained it simply. She squinted her eyes and smiled: "It's just like Bei Wei~"

"Master Saint—"

"Then, does Bei Wei think like Lu does?"

Directly ignoring Her Royal Highness who was still sitting across from her, the Holy Maiden approached Bedwell, who was sitting upright and looking stiff.Because they were too close, even the slightest expression on the other person's face could be seen clearly.

Originally, she was still listening to the conversation between Lucini and Grace, and Bedwell was still thinking about whether to speak out to show her loyalty. In the next second, the face of the Saintess came closer to her, and on her fair and delicate skin You can't even see a single pore. If it wasn't for the facial features of a human being, it might be considered a hard-boiled egg.

And those eyes with silver on the left and gold on the right, those pupils that were saturated with divine power and showed a strange color, and those eyes that were so clear to the bottom, just met her eyes.

In the eyes of the other party, there is a pure inquiry that implies some expectation.Just like the most innocent children, they are looking for answers that can make them feel at ease or satisfied.

Bedwell, who felt a little hot on her face, thought that she knew the answer.

Miss Knight, who was almost frightened by the actions of the Holy Maiden, made her heart stop, she slightly turned her body that was receding from the fright, and said seriously——

"I will always be your most loyal subordinate."

"As long as you need it, as long as I can do it, no matter what you need, even if it is the dragon crystal of the Holy Dragon, I will get it for you. And I will definitely do it neatly and without causing any financial loss. Therefore, Please don't worry about your subject, please rest assured, Lady Saint."

"...Uh, my lord saint?"

Bedwell felt that there was nothing wrong with her answer.She is working hard for Luxini, if Luxini wants it, she will go for it, what's wrong with that?But why does the Holy Maiden seem unhappy when she hears her perfect answer?

Along with Bedwell's words, Lucini's expression changed from full of expectation and encouragement to a smile that couldn't hold back. In the end, the saint simply puffed up her cheeks and turned her back to Miss Knight.

"No, it's nothing. My dear, you are right, Lu is very happy. But Lu also hopes that Bei Wei will not always think about how to give Lu good things, okay?"

That being said, Lucini's tone didn't sound like she felt nothing and was very happy at all.After all, did she look like someone who would instruct Bedwell to fight such a dangerous creature for the sake of strange things?

"Lu is not interested in those treasures, Bei Wei, your safety is what Lu cares more about."

The saint, who felt that her character had been misunderstood, was a little depressed.

However, she wasn't unhappy for too long. As a saint, what Lucini knows best is to adjust her mood.At this time, it was just because there were only three of them, and she was too complacent to mention such a unique topic.

The holy dragon is the ancestor of the dragon clan. I heard that the dragon god of the dragon clan was transformed by the holy dragon.

The dragon crystal left by the holy dragon is the most precious secret treasure of the dragon clan, and it is absolutely impossible to hand it over to outsiders.

In fact, knowing what these racial secret treasures are, only the high-level officials of each country and only the temple can access various classics and secrets.And still on this continent, perhaps the only one who knows more about it is the heroic spirit of Itenna.

If you want to get it, you can only sneak into Dragon Island boldly and steal it under the eyes of those giant dragons, and that's not easy?The entire dragon clan will be against it—to be targeted by those powerful intelligent creatures, perhaps death is the best destination.

If that's the case, maybe her actions will affect Itenna and Lucini.After all, no one knows if those dragons will go crazy after the dragon crystal of the holy dragon is stolen.

Thinking of this, Bedwell obediently admitted her mistake: "Yes. I am too arrogant. I will definitely protect myself and never give anyone a chance to hurt you."

"Bei Wei...forget it, it's nothing."

Lucy Ni's focus was not on "how Bedwell should protect herself". Unfortunately, this lady knight who doesn't know how to flirt clearly didn't understand why she was unhappy at all.

Lady Saint felt a heavy burden on her shoulders.But she didn't dare to say it directly, for fear that this stubborn and rigid girl would be scared away by herself.

After asking a question, Her Royal Highness, who was dazzled by the interaction of the two girls opposite, was also a little depressed.

Well, she shouldn't have asked such a question, but she has a deep understanding of what a partner is.

Hmm... this is probably a partner, right?

Tch, when she finds a partner in the future, she must bring them to show off in front of these two guys.

Grace coughed dryly, deeply feeling that now is the time for her to break the deadlock.So, Her Royal Highness asked the second question after coming here.

"By the way, when I set out to look for you today, my father's expression seemed a little strange."

What should have been the most important thing was postponed because of complaints and curiosity.This Her Royal Highness, who uses fire spells and whose private personality escapes like her own spells, really got serious.

"... To be honest, it's the first time I've seen my father look like that. I don't feel very good, as if something is about to happen. You know, I don't have anyone as powerful as Bei Wei around me. The guy can't even beat me! Anyone who can make me feel bad must be much stronger than me!"

Lucini quickly threw away her little depression, smiled back on her face, and entered the state: "What makes the lovely Grace afraid?"

"I don't know." Her Royal Highness shook her head frankly. If she hadn't been afraid of losing her braids, she would have rushed forward and grabbed Lucini's arm to shake it.

She said coquettishly: "But I think I should discuss it with you. Lulu, let the Pope do the math for me? Or you can do the math for me—"

"Sorry, Lu doesn't know where the Pope has been recently."

In fact, the Pope fell into a deep sleep again, but this kind of thing must never be put into words.

Even though the Temple of Radiance seems to be controlled by Lucini, in fact it is also ruled by Lucini, the existence of the pope is even more like a symbol than Lucini.However, the pope is the guardian of the Temple of Radiance just as the great sage is the guardian of the country.Even a symbol is a symbol of great deterrence.

"If the lovely Grace doesn't mind, let Lulai do the math for you~?"

Saying that, Lucini closed her eyes.The power bestowed by God spread out like flowing water, and a few strands of it wrapped around Grace's arm like invisible vines.

Her Royal Highness didn't dare to speak out, and she didn't say anything to disturb Lucini's feelings.She stretched out her hand very cooperatively, letting the tentacles of this power surround her.

Actually, Lucini doesn't know how to divination.

She didn't systematically learn how to use various spells. Divination, a kind of magic power that is more inclined to prophets, the great sage and the pope, did not know Lucy Ni.Lucini was only able to feel God's call and call more keenly, and feel the natural changes.

The three people in the room were silent, and Grace looked a little nervously at the way Lucini clenched her hands and closed her eyes to feel carefully.Until a certain moment, Lady Saint slowly opened her eyes.

"... Beast disaster."
