Unspeakable bubbles

"...Your Excellency, you must be joking."

"The 'holy water' of the Holy King Church is not what you imagine."

Orlando said calmly, "You're carrying too much resentment; haven't you noticed the effects yet?"

"What impact?"

Carmen disagreed. He could be categorized as a 'vengeful spirit' or 'evil spirit' anyway, so it would be strange if he didn't have a lot of resentment about him.

"You have a clear mind, but you can easily go to extremes without realizing it."

Seeing Carmen's immediate reaction, Orlando smiled and said, "Just use the 'holy water' to recuperate for a few months and get rid of the resentment."

"..."

"Thank you!"

Seeing that Carmen remained silent, the little girl thanked him on his behalf.

"Haha, it feels weird to recommend my old rival's 'holy water' to others."

Orlando shook his head: "Hmm, where were we?"

"The cult leader's daughter will be the next cult leader."

"not necessarily"

"But it's a prophecy..."

"That would require her to welcome back the true savior."

Orlando said expressionlessly, "If we find an imposter, well..."

"Orlando, but how do you know if the savior is real or not?" the little girl asked curiously.

Section 577, Chapter 576: Defection

"This problem..."

Orlando seemed to find it somewhat amusing: "Whether it's true or false, I can tell at a glance."

"Even if you've never seen it before?"

Even if I've never seen it before!

Orlando asserted, "If the Savior appears before me, I will recognize him."

Seeing that the little girl seemed somewhat disbelieving, Orlando said in a dreamlike tone, "My lord, you are unique."

"Irresistible and unpredictable."

"Cruel yet tender"

"Holding the reins of life and death, embracing both darkness and light!"

"..."

As Carmen listened, her eyes suddenly widened.

'No, no way...'

'This...this is the King they're talking about!'

"Ah, I long to see my lord soon."

Orlando said sadly, "The thought of my lord suffering somewhere now breaks my heart."

"Hey, is the savior suffering?"

"According to the cult leader's prophecy, this is indeed the case."

Orlando sighed: "The Savior is still very young, but he has already lost all his loved ones."

"They were constantly on the move, unable to settle down."

"Wherever it went, chaos ensued."

"Can such days be considered good days?"

"Even being a savior has it tough."

After listening to Orlando's words, the little girl said with some emotion.

"Damn it, the cult leader hasn't made a single move yet."

Orlando said coldly, "After all these years, if the cult were really looking, it wouldn't be hard to find a girl who fits these characteristics."

"But the cult leader also said that we should not interfere with the life trajectory of the savior, and we just need to wait patiently."

Orlando's fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "We archbishops have been forcibly restraining ourselves because we're worried that our actions might really have a negative impact on the Savior."

"No, we won't just let it go like that."

"We will settle this score with him properly for his long-standing inaction!"

"The internal strife within the cult is fierce. The leader is a 'go with the flow' type, while the archbishops are more action-oriented."

'Tsk tsk, thank goodness there was internal strife, otherwise who knows how much trouble the Apocalyptic Secret Cult would have caused over the years.' William thought with a hint of schadenfreude.

"May you find your savior soon."

The little girl said with a smile, "If you have the chance, introduce your savior to Bubble."

"Oh? Even Mahakala must bow down at the feet of our Lord?"

"No, Bubble just wants to make friends."

"Hahaha"

Orlando couldn't help but laugh: "Even though you're about the same age and both are girls..."

The archbishop's words came to an abrupt end.

"..."

"......"

"Orlando, what's wrong?"

"You, no, since you are from outer space, then it's impossible. I was overthinking it."

"Bubbles aren't from outer space."

Orlando's expression, which had eased somewhat, changed again: "Not an extraterrestrial being? Where did you get that extraterrestrial artifact between your brows?"

"This...?"

The little girl touched the datura flower mark between her eyebrows: "It was given to me by Bubble's friend!"

"A gift from a friend?"

Orlando was taken aback: "Your Excellency, could you... could you tell me more about your friend?"

"Kuroro is a little fairy. Bubbles met her at the orphanage."

"At that time, Sasha had just passed away, and Bubble was very sad..."

Orlando's expression was quite interesting as he listened to the little girl's story.

Both parents died, and the older sister died in a fire.

He kept changing schools and encountered all sorts of bizarre things.

The initial feeling of irresistible attraction, followed by a sense of great familiarity.

'Could it be that I, because of Mahakala's identity, because of that divine artifact, overlooked the greatest possibility?'

Orlando took a deep breath, his eyes becoming calm and collected.

Forget about Mahakala, forget about the artifacts from the outer world.

Forget what she just said, forget the cult leader's bullshit prophecies!

'Is it her?' Orlando asked himself.

'It's her'

'She is the savior!'

A voice rang in my mind, and I didn't hesitate at all.

That was Orlando's own voice.

"Well......"

Orlando suddenly covered his face, and suppressed sobs broke out, startling all three of them.

"Your Excellency, what's wrong with you now?"

William felt a chill run down his spine, wondering what had gotten into this guy this time.

Carmen, however, seemed to be deep in thought, and said with a touch of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection), "I knew it."

Orlando?

The little girl looked at him worriedly: "Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"I...I'm so happy! Savior, I've finally met you!"

Orlando wept bitterly: "You've suffered, you've suffered! It's all Orlando's fault for being so incompetent! I shouldn't have kept tolerating it. What prophecy, what cult leader, to hell with it."

"We should have acted long ago! His prediction is utter nonsense. I'll welcome you back right now!"

Orlando's words not only left William completely bewildered, but also left the little girl utterly confused.

"You, you haven't mistaken me for someone else, have you?"

“There’s no way I could be wrong!” Orlando said firmly.

"My lord, please come back to headquarters with me! Everyone, everyone has been waiting for this day for far too long."

"Even if you say that, it's still too sudden."

The little girl scratched her head: "Bubble is still busy with the Alliance, she can't get away right now."
