So I'm a sheep.

Sasha carried Rodrian's portrait in both hands as she walked past, and the other eight legion commanders, and even the four holy angels, all bowed slightly to the portrait in the little girl's hands.

"Lord Rodrian!"

After one of the war angels cried out in sorrow, the soldiers of the VI Army spontaneously called out the names of their respective legion commanders.

After the shouting, uncontrollable sobbing began.

'Sir, you are so beloved by everyone; your life has been truly worthwhile.'

Sasha carefully placed the portrait into the grave and bowed deeply with a sorrowful expression.

As a matter of sentiment, the young girl had received great care from Rodriguez after arriving at the VI Army, so it was not unreasonable for her to give him a deep bow.

Logically speaking, after walking on the stage as Rodrian's successor, she has fully accepted his legacy in the military, and this grand ceremony absolutely must be performed!

'My lord, may you rest in peace.'

After Sasha stood up and wiped her eyes, she was about to invite Prince Hill to say a few words when, at that moment, shimmering feathers fell from the sky.

The little girl was taken aback; she hadn't expected this. Could it be some holy angel...?

“Rodrian has done great service to the heavens; you must not forget his name.”

A goddess?!

Upon seeing the great being appear beside her, Sasha quickly knelt on one knee.

"My lord, with your words, Lord Rodriguez will surely rest in peace!"

The angels then realized that the great goddess had personally come to see Commander Rodrian off on his final journey.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

Countless angels knelt on the ground, the legion commanders bowed on one knee like little girls, and the four holy angels bowed.

Sasha caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye and froze instantly.

She wasn't the legion commander, so she should have been lying on the ground too.

However, the little girl did not want to change her posture.

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

Overall, Sasha is a sly little girl, but she can also be incredibly stubborn at times.

Sasha is usually stubborn when she's sticking to her principles, but this time, even she herself doesn't understand why.

A tiny seraph should definitely prostrate himself before a goddess, but Sasha just doesn't want to!

Her face was stiff, and she remained motionless in her posture.

Reason wanted to control my body and make me lie down, but a strange sense of pride welled up inside me and I couldn't suppress it no matter how much reason I had.

'What's there to be arrogant about? Did I accidentally catch the class monitor's arrogance?'

Volume 1: Chapter 419 Suspension of Duty

Sasha was extremely helpless. She was not an arrogant angel, but after today, the other legion commanders, including the three princes, would probably label her as arrogant in their minds.

You saved so many angels, that's commendable, it's amazing.

You have inherited Rodrian's legacy, and it is quite possible that you will become the commander of the VI Legion in the future, which is not wrong.

But you haven't become a legion commander yet.

With the goddess before us, how dare a mere Throne?

What's most frightening isn't the other legion commanders, but what the three princes will think. The little girl is currently under Hill's protection, so their opinions do have an impact, but it's not the key issue.

The key is, I hope the great goddess doesn't have any issues with me!

Just then, the goddess gently patted the little girl's head.

"You have lived up to Rodrian's expectations, and that is his greatest satisfaction."

"Get up, everyone."

"Yes!"

Sasha breathed a sigh of relief; the goddess wasn't angry about her small rudeness.

'Oh, my lord, your heart is wider than the ocean...'

While the girl was inwardly praising the great goddess, her gaze swept across the audience and she inadvertently noticed something she didn't know how to put into words.

The class monitor also came to see Lord Rodriguez off today. Like me, she didn't lie on the ground either!

'Good heavens, this is absolutely outrageous!'

Although it might seem strange for Sasha, who had done the same thing, to think this way, the thought uncontrollably popped into the little girl's head at this moment.

'Hmm, it seems I drew fire for the squad leader today?'

Sasha, being in the most conspicuous place, naturally attracted the attention of the legion commander and the holy angels.

Lucifer blended in with the angels but wasn't among the front; compared to the little girl, he was much more low-key.

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

The goddess did not linger for long; she silently gazed at Rodrian's tombstone for a while before leaving.

The little girl closest to the goddess sensed that this great being was not at peace. She couldn't see the goddess's expression; it was purely a gut feeling.

'What a relief!'

If the tragic death of a legion commander who dedicated his life to the pantheon goes unnoticed, it would be too disheartening for the angels.

"Please welcome His Highness Hill to the stage!"

Composing herself, the little girl invited the holy angel to come up and deliver a eulogy, following the steps she had prepared beforehand.

Nothing unexpected happened after that. After the angels, one by one, went on stage to express their condolences, the solemn funeral quietly came to an end.

"..."

"........"

After the funeral, Hill pulled the little girl away.

She formally introduced Sasha to her three older sisters and the legion commanders. Out of respect for Hill, the angels were relatively friendly to the little girl.

"Sasha is great in every way, except she's timid and gets nervous very easily sometimes."

Seeing that the holy angel had made an excuse for her, Sasha quickly said, "Ah, the great goddess is so close, my mind went blank, and I only realized how rude I had been when I came to my senses."

"It's embarrassing to admit, but I was completely stiff and couldn't move a single finger."

"Oh, is this the divine power of my lord?"

The little girl's words made the valiant angel laugh. She said in a carefree manner, "What? I thought you were a very arrogant angel, but it turns out you're just a coward."

"Ima"

The leader of the Holy Angels, the gentle Princess Skadi, gave her younger sister a reproachful look.

“Saliye is just a little nervous, don’t say that about her.”

"Hehe, it wasn't that I was a little nervous. Thinking about it carefully, Sally was like a statue."

"The Mother Goddess isn't that scary, you'll see later!"

"Yes, yes, yes," the little girl said, nodding and bowing.

“Saliye is too nervous, I can tell, but Savannah, your subordinate is not.”

Heimla spoke up, her voice cold: "From what I remember, she should be the deputy head of the V Army Special Operations Department. You'll have to do some serious ideological work with her later."

“Yes, Your Highness,” Savannah replied obediently.

"Oh no, something's happened, something's happened, squad leader..."

The little girl was anxious and didn't notice that Hill glanced at Savannah, a fleeting glint of anger in her eyes.

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

You are the legion commander under my command, but you have never been so respectful to me before.

This kind of thing used to happen often, and over time, Hill and Savannah developed a conflict.

But never before had Hill been this angry.

Why?

It's mainly Heimla's fault.

Previously, the two sisters were very close, with Savannah always obeying Heimla, and Hill was more forgiving and less likely to hold a grudge.

But right now, although it's not obvious on the surface, this is precisely the time when Hill and Heimla are having a conflict!

At this moment, Savannah's behavior really made Hill feel uneasy.

"How long has it been since we sisters got together?"

Skadi remarked with a sigh, "I think everyone's gotten a bit distant, especially Hill and Heimla. You two haven't even looked at each other in all this time."

The two angels were taken aback. Before they could say anything, Skars had already taken the hands of his two sisters.

“There’s nothing we sisters can’t talk about. Come on, let’s go sit at my place.”

"Ima, come along too!"

After the angels left, the little girl, who wasn't familiar with the legion commanders, excused herself and returned to her own department.

After working until the end of the day, Sasha flew towards the Koi House with a heavy heart.

Sasha's heart was naturally with Lucifer. Princess Heimra's words were quite serious, and Savannah would never let them go with just a few casual remarks.

'She might have to be suspended. I should go see her tomorrow.'

"Master, we have a guest."

As soon as she arrived home, the fairy maid greeted her respectfully, "Your two old classmates have arrived."

Two old classmates...
