Chapter 119: At the door step (1/2)

[CASTITAS CHURCH]

Standing with her eye closed, Camelia was murmuring a string of words, so fast her words would have been barely comprehensible for anyone.

The ultimate defense used to protect the capital required the supreme daughter's blood as a catalyst and her body as the nucleus. This means that once she began, she would be completely unable to move or even protect herself.

Standing beside her was Chloe as usual. The girl was truly growing on her, if it was possible, she would have considered poaching her from Slothstein and keep her as the holy daughter of Lustburg.

”Chloe, did you begin the evacuation of the district belonging to Gorfard?”

Chloe nodded with a heavy expression, ”Thanks to the preparation you made, it wasn't complicated, tonight, the populace was informed that you would perform a miracle in the plaza and do a mass heal. The Queen had also arranged more performers to concentrate in the plaza to attire people there.”

Camelia nodded satisfied, what was about to happen was something truly dangerous. Camelia wouldn't have been so worried if they simply had to deal with Loki Gorfard as they initially thought. After all, no matter how powerful he was as a Duke, at the end of the day, he was just that, strong. He had in no way reached the level that could really threaten her or Lilith.

But now that the wings of freedom were involved, the situation was far more complicated. After all, this organization also had its own set of powerhouses.

”Are the paladins ready? What about the current white knight?”

She frowned as she mentioned this, she was still disappointed by how easily the kid had been manipulated and how he would have fought Sol if she didn't intervene.

Of course, she wasn't blind, well–she wasn't blind anymore.

She understood that the kid had a big crush on her. But thousands of men had a crush on her. Did this mean that she had to cater to each of them?

The only reason she hadn't demoted him was that he truly wasn't a bad kid and his talent also pretty good. After all, being able to control ice to such an extent wasn't given to anyone.

In another part of the church, a young man wearing a silver-white armor was squatting powerlessly on the ground with his head hanging.

Beside him, a white and black creature wearing a suit without pants was gurgling on a plate full of fish.

Once it was satiated, the creature surprisingly began to speak with a surprisingly manly voice, ”How long are you going to mope like this young man? I do not remember you being so weak?”

The man ignored his contracted partner, and mumbled, ”She must hate me now.”

”But she never liked you in the first place.”

”I must have worsened the impression she had on me.”

”I don't think she even cares about your existence.”

”Now my chances with her are lower.”

”Bro...Do not worry.”

Raising his head, he looked surprised at his partner; 'While he comforts me for once.'

Sadly his hopes were shattered by the next words, ”You chances were in the negative in the first place, so them becoming lower doesn't change anything don't you think?”

Silence settled between them before the white knight roared and took his partner by the neck, ”I am going to kill you!!”

”Help! Help! Murder! This is an abuse of my right!!”

The two of them began to roll and tussle around for a few minutes, meanwhile, the others paladin simply ignored their antics and continued preparing their gear. They were already used to such a scene happening, and they had to admit that seeing the generally overly serious white knight act like a kid his age was one of the reasons he was so appreciated.

Finally, ending with the knight down and his partner standing above him, said partner gave a low cough and began to fly away, ”Well bro, I like you and all, but it's time for my bath with the nun. Unpopular bastards like you guys should stay between men.”

Giving a wretched laugh while ignoring the death glare he was receiving, he calmly flew away.

Truth be told, he didn't find human women attractive in the least, but seeing the jealous and pissed look of those nights while they imagined him swimming in the bath with the nuns was one of his best sources of entertainment.

Watching his partner fly, the white knight, while lying on the ground could only sigh. He had obtained this ice elemental in his trips to the spirit world back then and he had to admit that it was a truly powerful spirit. Sadly, it also had a mean streak and liked to tease people or watch them suffer.

Still, he had to admit that its blunt words cleared his heart.

'I really acted in an unsightly way.'

As a knight, he should respect many virtues, but he had lost to his jealousy and ugly heart.

'I hope I will be able to meet his highness.'
