Chapter 172 The Saintess Returns

Dorothy looked at Raffi with a critical eye.

As expected of a princess, she has excellent nutrition.

Raffi naturally noticed Dorothy's gaze as well. For some reason, she felt as if that gaze was tangible, as if it were actually touching her.

This made Raffi instinctively shrink back.

But Raffi quickly realized why he was being so hesitant.

If Dorothy wants to watch, then let her watch.

So Raffi straightened up, puffed out his chest confidently, and even turned slightly to the side so that Dorothy could see him more clearly.

After noticing that Dorothy's gaze was indeed drawn to him, Laffey's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

She was already willing to get along well with Dorothy, and now that she discovered that Dorothy had this kind of hobby, she suddenly had some wonderful little ideas.

I just hope I won't make Elor angry in the future.

But they're good friends, so I don't think Elor would mind.

"Let's end our relaxation time here. I still have a lot of things to take care of." Although Raffi wanted to play a little longer, he had a lot of things to deal with right now.

Raffi lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and bowed slightly to Angel.

"Your workmanship is excellent, Miss Angel. I'm so honored to wear such a beautiful dress. May I go change back into my original clothes now?"

"Okay, okay." Angel's heart was pounding. She was thrilled to hear the princess thank her, even though it was just a polite gesture.

Raffi quickly changed back into her original long dress and nodded slightly to Dorothy.

"My lovely Dorothy, see you tonight."

Raffi walked gracefully past Dorothy with Anne in tow.

Dorothy watched the master and servant walk away from outside the palace, and began to think about what Anne had said earlier.

A war would be beneficial to Lafite.

Whoever said that, it's bound to cause big problems.

He could be arrested for falsely accusing a member of the royal family.

Even if Anne is Raffi's personal maid, saying this would be extremely risky. Raffi might even use Anne as a scapegoat to protect himself.

Moreover, Dorothy had no idea why Anne would say that to her.

Dorothy thought to herself, "I think you're trying to make things difficult for me, Gian."

Her little brain isn't good at things like palace intrigue.

"Um, Miss Dorothy, what do you mean by this dress?" Angel asked, her hands supporting the dress that Raffi had just taken off, her face still flushed.

Dorothy looked at the long dress in Angel's hand, which seemed to still have the scent of Raffia on it.

She thought for a moment, then turned to look at the photo stone in the shop used to monitor and prevent thieves, and waved her hand.

"Frame this dress and seal it away. This is Her Highness's original clothing, so remember to seal it meticulously. Watch as I use my magical editing skills to take the Carter Trading Company's business to new heights!"

Dorothy walked up to the photo stone, reached out and took it down, a confident smile spreading across her face.

At this time, outside the city of the apprentices.

Dust billowed on the road, and the sound of horses' hooves filled the air as the Holy Light Church's procession galloped toward the City of Apprentices.

Renee brandished her riding crop, her face serious.

"drive!"

At this moment, she was filled with anxiety and anger.

I never imagined that someone would dare to attack the City of Apprentices.

Of course, when she returned, she saw that the Apprentice City had been repaired after all the damage was done.

Furthermore, even though Renee was a nun from the Church of Holy Light, she was still thoroughly questioned upon entering the city.

After entering the city, she dismounted and led her horse. Passersby on the road merely nodded slightly when they saw Renee in the Holy Light Church's procession.

-

The City of Apprentices was attacked recently, but no members of the Church of Holy Light were seen on the streets.

Although the knights of the Holy Light Church were targeted and sealed away immediately.

However, when the residents were in danger, the Church of Holy Light did not appear immediately, making their already weak faith even more precarious.

After all, who would be willing to contribute their beliefs if there were no tangible benefits?

Moreover, this is a city of apprentices, and most of its residents are magic apprentices, making it even more difficult to convert them to the Church of Holy Light.

Renee knew that the Church of Holy Light could no longer collect faith here for the time being.

However, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the smiles still on the faces of the residents on the street.

The fact that he can still laugh means the loss wasn't too severe.

Then there's the church area.

Renee hurried toward the church.

When she arrived, she saw two nuns sweeping the church entrance with brooms.

When the nuns heard the sound of hooves, they turned around and saw that it was Renee who had returned. They were so excited that their eyes filled with tears.

They jogged up to Renee.

"Your Highness, you're finally back."

Renee nodded. "I'm back. Don't cry. Go inside and tell me what happened while I was away."

Renee released a soft holy light from her hands, soothing the two young nuns who were somewhat out of control.

All she knew was that the City of Apprentices had been attacked.

After Fal was defeated, the sealing magic at the church quickly lost its effectiveness without the maintenance of a mage.

The priests who remained behind, upon discovering they were safe, immediately used the church's unique communication method to quickly send news of the attack on Apprentice City to Renee, who was far away on the border.

Renee, who was originally comforting the suffering civilians at the border, immediately led the Knights back after learning that the City of Apprentices had been attacked.

When she returned, she found that the situation was not as serious as she had imagined, which relieved Renee somewhat.

But she was still very angry.

Now Renee desperately wants to know who attacked the City of Apprentices.

Soon, Renee pieced together a rough picture of the situation from the nuns, priests, and knights who remained.

It is said to be "approximately" because those who stayed behind did not know much about the situation, and most of the information they had was gathered from people outside.

Although she didn't know much, Renee still learned two very important pieces of information.

That is, the force that attacked the City of Apprentices was a mage from the Blackrock Barbarian Alliance.

The one who resolved this crisis was a mysterious magician, who was said to use some kind of mysterious purple magic.

The magic was incredibly powerful, even surpassing the Thunder God's Wrath, a spell passed down through generations of the Blackrock Barbarian Alliance royal family.

Unlike Raffi, who had never seen the magic of the abyss and was completely clueless.

Upon hearing the nun's description of the purple magic, Renee immediately suspected it was Dorothy.

After settling the people in the Church of Holy Light, Renee got up to go see Dorothy alone.

She wanted to thank Dorothy for protecting the people of the Apprentice City and the Church of the Holy Light.

I also want to apologize to Dorothy.

Previously, she had treated Dorothy extremely badly because Dorothy used abyssal magic.

However, Renee had just returned and was covered in dust; it would be impolite for her to see Dorothy like that.

So Renee is going to wash up now and then take some gifts to see Dorothy.

So Renee asked the nuns beside her, "I'm going to see a distinguished guest. What do you think I should bring?"
