Saintess: Strange, Why Does This Girl Feel So Familiar?

Gabriel's mind automatically conjured up the image of his third-in-line heir, Your Highness Lucia. In a sense, this Your Highness did seem a bit simple-minded at times, both in her actions and her speech. Oh no, the Little Regent Your Highness Krein of the Holy Light Empire was talking about might really be Your Highness Lucia.

If Your Highness Lucia has already become the Little Regent Your Highness the Holy Light Empire, why would she want to return to the Farolyn Empire?

His Your Highness the Little Regent wields power in the Holy Light Empire that is second only to the emperor, above all others.

His status was comparable to that of an emperor.

I just can't understand it! I really can't understand it! Fortunately, Your Highness Lucia didn't intend to use the power of the Holy Light Empire, otherwise Her Majesty Asina might not have been able to hold onto the position of [Emperor].

Domestically, they have to face the major temples, and internationally, they have to deal with Your Highness Lucia has been missing for nearly three years and is now returning with a large army. Just thinking about this situation is terrifying.

"Lord Gabriel, rest assured, I keep my word. We are willing to compensate double for the losses caused to Anselm Province Your Highness my Little Regent. If he has inadvertently offended any minister or emperor of your empire, please do not take it to heart. My Little Regent Your Highness simple-minded and sometimes likes to boast."

However, sometimes the boasts Your Highness my Little Regent might actually be the truth.

Yes, yes, yes. The saying about becoming emperor is indeed true.

It is true that one can become the emperor of the Farolyn Empire without relying on the power of the Anselm Province.

Gabriel silently agreed with Krein's words.

"She has left Anselm Province. You can go to other provinces to look for her. Of course, I will report your existence to His Majesty. You'd better get a pass from His Majesty as soon as possible, otherwise, if you encounter a hot-tempered governor, he may regard you as a powerful enemy invading the empire."

Gabriel reminded Krein.

He had a hunch that when Krein and the Aerospace Battleship hovering above Ansel City appeared in the capital, the capital would be bustling with activity.

The sensation caused by Your Highness Lucia's reappearance in the capital after nearly three years of absence was likely even greater.

No, Your Highness Lucia's act of causing the Martial God Statue to crack has already caused a great sensation in the Farolyn Empire.

"They've left. It seems we've been a step too late again." Krein put away the scroll and took out a set of Source Energy Armor from his Space Ring. "Gabriel, this is Source Energy Armor developed by our Holy Light Empire. I didn't know what else to give you before we met, so I'll just give you this set of Source Energy Armor that combines offense and defense. Please don't find it too bad."

"Not at all, not at all." Gabriel accepted Krein's gift.

Krein stayed in Anselm Province for three days, bought some supplies, and then left to travel to other provinces to continue his search for the baby dragon Lucia.

On the night Krein left, Gabriel sent a message to the capital.

Message content: [A Aerospace Battleship from the Holy Light Holy Light Empire of the Holy Light Domain has appeared within our territory Your Highness. The ship is equipped with three hundred soldiers. They have appeared in our territory in order to find their empire's Little Regent.]

I have contacted the temporary commander of the Aerospace Battleship, and they have no ill intentions toward our Farolyn Empire. If Your Majesty is short on time, you can temporarily disregard them.

Perhaps in some time, they will appear in the capital on their own, before His Majesty.

Gabriel didn't mention Lucia. He had no choice; he had sworn not to reveal Your Highness Lucia's identity to any living being, much less to inform His Majesty in the capital of her whereabouts.

It seems that Your Highness Lucia wanted to give Her Majesty Asina a surprise.

Decla Province, Kelo City, Dekra Province, Farolyn Empire.

This is a large city with a population of 500,000, and it is also the central city of the Decla Province. The largest Valkyrie Temple in the Farolyn Empire is located in this city.

Therefore, this city is also known as the Martial God City.

The Valkyrie Temple was built in the center of the Kelo City. The temple was made of white jade, and its smooth surface reflected a hazy light.

On the left and right sides of the temple, there is a God General dressed in armor on each side, and between the two God General, a red carpet is spread out.

Cardinal Garrod of the Valkyrie Temple, dressed in full regalia, led a group of temple clergy to stand at the temple entrance.

He never expected that the cracking of the Martial God Temple statue would alarm the Pope of their temple. In order to investigate the cracking of the Martial God Statue in the Farolyn Empire, His Pope actually sent a Holy Knight to escort the Saintess to the Farolyn Empire.

We just received news that the Saintess and the Holy Knight have entered the Kelo City, and at their previous pace, they will arrive soon.

The moment Cardinal Garrod's thought crossed his mind, two figures appeared in the square in front of the temple: a knight in platinum armor and a girl in Fire-red Robe.

They are Saintess and a paladin from the holy mountain.

Garrod stepped off the red carpet to greet them. "Welcome, Your Saintess Your Highness and Your Excellency the Holy Knight. My name is Garrod, and I am a cardinal of the Valkyrie Temple in the capital of the Farolan Empire. I never expected that the Holy Mountain would send Your Excellency the Holy Knight to escort Your Saintess Your Highness to the Farolyn Empire."

"Bishop Garrod, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Aurora."

"That won't do. We still need to add the title 'Your Highness '."

Just call me Steven.

Paladin Steven held up his name, never expecting that he would have the opportunity to cross domains and visit the Farolyn Empire in the Morning Star Domain in his lifetime.

Under normal circumstances, someone like him would spend most of his time on the Holy Mountain or in a Valkyrie Temple in the Sky Sea Domain.

This time, an unexpected event occurred: the statue of the Valkyrie's strongest God General of War, suddenly cracked.

The clergy of the Martial God Temple even claimed that the God of Martial God had appeared to them, warning them not to offend a certain human girl.

This matter can be big or small.

There are two possibilities for a deity's statue to manifest: one is that the statue truly manifests, and the other is that a powerful evil entity forces the statue to manifest and then uses some kind of evil Demonic Artifact to impersonate a deity.

He and Saintess Aurora appeared in the Farolan Empire in the Morning Star Domain in order to investigate what happened at the Temple of the God of War in the Farolyn Empire Farolyn Empire.

"Bishop Garrod, I would like to first understand about the cracked statue in the Martial God Temple. Shall we discuss this inside the temple, or perhaps find a quieter place?"

"Let's talk in the temple hall. Today is Day of Gods, so no believers have come."

"Good."

Saintess Aurora, Holy Knight Steven, and Cardinal Garrod entered the temple one after another.

The three of them entered the temple hall, bowed to the Valkyrie Statue, and casually found a place to sit down.

"The information I've gathered is that a little girl riding a pureblood Golden Dragon appeared at the Martial God Temple in Anselm Province, accompanied by several other Pure-Blooded Dragon."

The little girl was very assertive. After arriving at the Martial God Temple, she directly questioned Cardinal Floyd of the Martial God Temple and challenged him to a confrontation in front of the Martial God Statue.

Then, when the little girl wanted to kneel and worship the Martial God Statue, the Martial God Statue suddenly shifted one position to the side, avoiding the little girl's kneeling.

The little girl tried to kneel and worship several more times, but each time the Martial God Statue avoided her. The little girl was so angry with the Martial God Statue that she cried. Then, in front of the Martial God Statue, she said that she would complain to the Valkyrie. After that, the Martial God Statue cracked.

This is the cause and effect of the Martial God Statue in the Anselm Province cracking.

After listening, Saintess Aurora and Paladin Steven exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat bewildered.

The little girl who forced her way into the Martial God Temple only said she wanted to complain to the Valkyrie, and the Martial God Statue cracked? It sounds like something out of a myth.

Not everyone in this world is qualified to disturb the gods.

Not just anyone dares to blaspheme the gods.

Having been Saintess for so long, she had only ever met one guy who dared to blaspheme against the Valkyrie, but she had recently heard that the terrible guy had died.

The man claimed to be the Valkyrie's creditor, a matter the Valkyrie did not directly address. However, during Valkyrie conversation, the Valkyrie's meaning was clear: the terrifying individual was indeed a "friend" of the Valkyrie.

Paladin Steven also thought of Lance.

Are you sure it's a little girl?

"Yes, it is indeed a little girl."

"Could it be a grown man turned into a little girl?"

Steven felt that only Lance could utter such absurd a statement as complaining to the Valkyrie.

Upon closer examination, this possibility seems unlikely. Lance's identity is not simple; he was the first Pope of the Dragon God Temple.

Several Pure-Blooded Dragon followed him.

The only one he could think of who could meet this condition Lance.

Given Lance's abilities, it's possible that he could transform into a little girl and come to the Farolyn Empire to play.

"Why does Mr. Steven think that little girl is a grown man in disguise?"

"I have seen someone who dared to disrespect the Valkyrie, and that person could meet the conditions for a Pure-Blooded Dragon to follow him."

The image of Lance instantly flashed into the mind of Saintess Aurora, who was sitting not far from Steven.

Her eyes suddenly lit up; it was actually quite possible.

"Your Highness Aurora, do you also think this is possible?"

Cardinal Garrod's expression suddenly became excited when he saw Aurora seem to have thought of something. Could it be that they were about to solve the mystery of the cracked Martial God Statue today?

"Well, how should I put it? I met someone in the Sky Sea Domain who had a good relationship with our Valkyrie. His identity is quite special. If it's him, then our Valkyrie might really have a hard time making him kneel."

After all, Lance is the Valkyrie's "friend," and the Valkyrie is the Valkyrie's subordinate.

Don't even mention that Lance was the Dragon God Temple First Pope.

However, someone as arrogant as Lance would disdain doing such a thing, let alone kneeling before a god's statue. He doesn't even kneel before the Dragon God's statue, so why would he kneel before the Martial God Statue? Cardinal Garrod was astonished. Could there really be such a person in the world? If any other clergyman had said this, he certainly wouldn't have believed it, but since it was the Saintess who spoke, it was highly credible. "Why did that little girl confront the Cardinal of the Martial God Temple?"

"This involves divine authority and imperial authority. That little girl seems to not want divine authority to interfere too much in the affairs of the Farolyn Empire."

"Oh, I see."

Aurora. As the Saintess of the Valkyrie Temple, she was well aware of the invisible struggle between divine and imperial power.

In fact, all the major temples have this ulterior motive, but as clergy members, it's hard to say.

"What is the relationship between our Valkyrie Temple and the Farolyn Empire?" Steven asked.

"Not so good. Under my instructions, the Decla Province has prevented the new emperor's policies from being implemented smoothly here, which can be considered a challenge to the imperial power."

"That's alright. If that little girl is on the side of the Farolyn Empire, she might confront the cardinals of other temples, and she might come here at any time."

"That possibility is very high."

Before Cardinal Garrod could finish speaking, a series of Dragon Roar roars echoed across the sky above the Kelo City.

A commotion arose outside the temple, with cries of "The dragon is coming!" echoing repeatedly.

"Your Excellency! Something terrible has happened! Nine Pure-Blooded Dragons are heading straight for our Valkyrie Temple, and they've already appeared in the temple square! Strangely, just as the Nine Pure-Blooded Dragons were about to reach our Valkyrie Temple, they suddenly transformed into dragon-human forms and descended outside the square!"

Cardinal Garrod, inside the temple, looked at Saintess Aurora and Paladin Steven. "I didn't expect that you would run into the little girl who caused the Martial God Statue to crack so soon after you arrived. Your Saintess Your Highness Steven Your Excellency, shall we go outside to greet her?"

"Yes." Saintess Aurora stood up.

Steven also got up.

The three of them walked out of the temple one after the other.

They saw it; they saw the little girl who caused the Martial God Statue to crack.

The little girl then instructed the nine dragonmen who were half a step behind her not to disrespect the Valkyrie, not to make a loud noise in front of the Valkyrie Temple, and not to be met with hostility from the Valkyrie Temple staff.

Lucia, the young dragon at the front, gave a few instructions to the Golden Dragon Griffin, the Shadow Dragon, and the Blue Dragon before carrying her fruit basket and skipping towards the Valkyrie Temple.

Halfway through her bouncy jump, when her gaze fell upon Saintess Aurora and Paladin Steven standing at the entrance of the Valkyrie Temple, the smile on her face instantly turned into terror, and her previously light and rhythmic bouncy jump became chaotic in an instant.

She tripped and fell flat on her face, dropping the fruit basket she was carrying.

How did those two end up here?!

Where is this place?

Isn't this the Farolyn Empire?

Why are those two in the Farolyn Empire?! All those fruits were carefully selected by her for her Elder Sister Sophia, and they're all ruined! Evelyn ran to the young dragon Lucia's side, "Are you alright, Your Highness?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just... I guess I got excited a little too soon. ┭┮┭┮"

Before becoming emperor, one should never open champagne prematurely! She never dreamed she would run into an acquaintance in the Farolyn Empire.

Etc!

What acquaintance?!

They were acquaintances of the Amethyst Dragonling, but not of Imperial Daughter Lucia.

There's absolutely no need to panic.

"Strange, why does this girl seem so familiar to me?"
