So I'm a sheep.

Uh, really?

The little girl scratched her head: "Aran, have you done anything special since we separated?"

Although Arran's experiences these days can be described as magnificent, killing tax collectors, capturing knights, challenging Wood, and finally saving the entire village, she was called 'Saintess' by the soldiers.

but!

These words alone do not seem sufficient to elevate the little girl's miraculous light.

Well, if Aran manages to turn the tables and defeat or even kill the knight duke when he challenges Wood, Sasha will have no more doubts now.

But she didn't defeat Wood; in fact, he slashed her from behind.

'Aran must have done something special, otherwise it doesn't make sense.'

"Lady Sasha, apart from what I just told you, I haven't done anything else."

"Wait, that shouldn't be the case, Ran, think about it again."

The girl thought about it carefully again, but in the end she still shook her head.

...............................................................

"Your Excellency, your swordsmanship is exquisite and unparalleled. I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as you."

"Haha, you've improved to this level in such a short time. Besides the power of the angels, you must also have exceptional talent."

The girl put down her axe, and Wood followed suit, sheathing his sword.

"I am truly sorry, Your Majesty, but I swore an oath earlier."

The girl looked apologetic and bowed deeply to Wood: "I'm sorry to have disappointed you."

"It's good that you can stay true to yourself."

At first, he was very angry, but after several confrontations, Wood came to terms with it.

"I look forward to your progress, and even more so to our next match."

Wood drew his sword again, and the girl was taken aback for a moment before quickly realizing what he meant.

"Thank you for your guidance!"

The longsword and the axe clashed, and the two men smiled at each other.

Just then, Wood suddenly saw a figure emerge from behind the girl.

The man's face was contorted with rage, and his eyes were filled with malevolence.

He raised his longsword high and slashed fiercely at the unsuspecting girl.

"Do not!!!"

Blood splattered everywhere, and Wood felt both anger and fear.

What's infuriating is that someone committed such a despicable act; what's terrifying is...

Why does the person wielding the sword look exactly like me?

"what!"

Wood jerked himself upright in bed, drenched in sweat, his heart pounding wildly.

I had that dream again, that nightmare again.

Wood covered his face and groaned in pain.

"Lord!"

Hearing the commotion in the room, the Night Watch knights burst through the door.

"you......"

Seeing Wood's appearance, the knight felt a pang of sadness.

"My lord, you've woken up in the middle of the night again."

"..."

"I'm sorry to have worried you, I'm fine."

"My lord, I would like to visit that village tomorrow."

"no!"

Wood abruptly raised his head: "You're not allowed to go!"

The knight took a deep breath: "You need to have definite information about whether that girl is alive or dead."

"I'll say it again, I forbid you to go!"

Wood, panting, said, "I don't want to know anything about her. I'm fine. I've just been having trouble sleeping lately."

"Lord..."

"Phew, I can't sleep anyway, so you might as well come downstairs with me to practice my sword."

Wood casually threw on a coat and got out of bed: "Haha, speaking of which, how long has it been since we sparred?"

"My lord, the last time we fought was more than half a year ago."

"It'll be good to see if you've been slacking off lately."

Arriving at the place where he practiced swordsmanship every day, Wood took the sword from the servant.

The moment Wood picked up the sword, the image of the girl falling suddenly flashed before his eyes.

"Lord!"

The knight looked sadly at Wood, the First Knight of Nister, the Grand Duke of Knights...

Why is his hand holding the sword shaking?

Volume 1: Chapter 120 biubiubiu~

"Sammy, do you know why I called you here today?"

“Your Excellency, I have vaguely heard that you seem to be planning something important.”

"If there is anything you need Sami for, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Looking at the excited young man in front of her, Sasha smiled and said, "I've heard about you from Aran, and I think you're a capable person."

"The Holy Maiden recommended me to you?!"

Well, although not really, seeing Sami's expression of being so excited she was about to faint, the little girl smiled but didn't explain anything.

"Sammy, just tell me straight."

"The church leadership has fallen. What I need to do next is to judge those sinners, overthrow and rebuild the Starry Church!"

Although he had suspected it beforehand, Sami was still shocked when he heard the angel reveal his purpose.

Overthrowing and rebuilding the church—what a difficult yet opportunity-filled endeavor!

"Lady Sasha, for the glory of the goddess, Sami is willing to be shattered to pieces!"

Hmm, typical of a devout believer's remarks.

Unfortunately, when the little girl opened her vision of faith, she found that the man kneeling on one knee in front of her had no faith at all.

“I am very pleased that you are so understanding and righteous.”

The little girl said with a serious expression, "Get ready, you'll be busy soon."

..................................................

“Heavens, Your Majesty the Angel.”

Before the Nister branch of the Church of the Stars, several guards stopped the little girl with trepidation.

"What, as an angel, I can't even get through the door of the church?"

"Of course you can go in! But..."

The guards looked at the black-robed figures behind the little girl with suspicion: "They're dressed too much like wizards. Even if they're your people, well, please forgive them!"

"Lady Sasha, it seems that angels don't have a high status in the church at all, since a few guards dare to stop you."

Noah grinned: "At headquarters, even if I'm dressed in black robes like I am now, as long as Archbishop Julian sends someone to deliver a message, no one will dare to stop me."

"Uh"

"Never mind, let's not make things difficult for them."

Before the relieved guards could say anything, the little girl nodded to the wizards: "Let's do it."

The green smoke emanating from Capas's index finger transformed into ropes, binding several guards whose expressions had drastically changed.

With a flick of his staff, Gorei unleashed several fireballs that blasted open the church branch's main gate.

Noah positioned himself at the exit as planned, his task being to prevent anyone from escaping in the chaos.

"wizard!"

"Good heavens, why would an angel bring a wizard with her?"

"Goddess above, Goddess above."

Such a commotion quickly attracted the attention of the powerful figures stationed at the branch, and more than a dozen Templar Knights clad in exquisite armor swiftly came out to quell the chaos.

"Your Excellency, why do you associate with these evil wizards!"

The leading Templar Knight stared intently at the little girl, while Sasha also looked at these people with curiosity.

The power to confer knighthoods was firmly held by the king and the grand duke, and even the church could not interfere in the slightest.

However, where there's a will, there's a way. The church has no right to confer 'knighthoods,' but it can still create 'Knights Templar' who don't enjoy national privileges and aren't recognized by either country.

"A knight who isn't a knight, don't speak so harshly."

The little girl calmly asked, "You say wizards are evil, but have you ever witnessed their evil deeds?"

Enraged by Sasha's label of "a knight who is not a knight," the leading Templar Knight roared, "Attacks on the church are heinous crimes! It seems you, this disloyal angel, have fallen..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Templar Knight suddenly leaned back and fell heavily to the ground.
