Knight Henry knew that Her Holiness the Saint had always been kind-hearted and would not easily give up on helping others.
This had always given her headaches, but it was also because of the Saint's character that he had continued to follow her, willing to serve her.
Saint Daili thought for a moment and agreed to Knight Henry's suggestion. "Then let's do that. Arrange for two people to protect him. Sorry to trouble you!"
"Um... I don't need protection. Thank you for your kindness." Duke was somewhat speechless. These people from the Light Church were being a little too enthusiastic. They had not even asked for his opinion.
Daili seemed to sense Duke's feelings and said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry for making you uncomfortable. I always make this kind of mistake..."
Realizing where she had been presumptuous, she hurriedly apologized, without the slightest air of a Saint.
In the end, Daili chose a compromise. Although Duke had already said he did not need protection, she was still somewhat worried, so she had two Light Knights walk slowly behind the convoy, keeping some distance from Duke.
That way, Duke would not feel uncomfortable, while they could still look after him.
Duke was somewhat helpless. These people meant well, so he let it go and said nothing further.
The two Light Knights slowly followed far behind the convoy, several hundred meters away from Duke.
Duke sensed them. Both were Grand Knight level, and a few hundred meters would not take them long to cross.
He realized that this convoy did not seem to be transporting ordinary goods. It was very likely carrying something important, and its defenses were extremely tight.
Yet even in this situation, Saint Daili still wanted to look after travelers encountered on the road, placing considerable pressure on these knights.
