"..."
The hall suddenly fell silent, and it seemed that the only sound left was the faint sigh of the silver-haired nun next to him.
……
Toasted bread topped with delicious gravy, steaming butter paired with fragrant bacon, juicy fresh fruits still with water droplets just washed, wine glasses and plates intertwined, the war on the dinner table always seems so fierce.
"Ouch."
After simply filling my stomach with bread and grilled meat, I couldn't wait to cut the pudding in front of me into small pieces and put them into my mouth, enjoying the sweet taste sliding down my throat.
It is said that a girl’s other stomach is for desserts. Now I can understand this sentence more and more.
But it seems to be an exception for some people.
I looked at Hill next to me. The silver-haired nun didn't seem to be interested in the delicacies on the table. She just picked up a glass of red wine and savored it carefully.
Come to think of it, I never seemed to have tasted red wine in my previous life. At most I just had pineapple beer to satisfy my craving.
"It's too early for your Highness." As if noticing my gaze, Hill put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the napkin by the table and wiped the sweet stains from the corners of my mouth. "Also, your Highness, please pay attention to your manners."
My face turned red involuntarily, and I glanced around, only to find that the paladins seemed to be even more outrageous than me. Some were competing in drinking, some were playing finger-guessing games and singing, and they did not look as solemn as usual.
Obviously at the beginning they were communicating in whispers and observing necessary etiquette at all times, but now it has turned into a gathering of soldier ruffians.
I'm not stupid, so I naturally understood that this was Claire's instruction, so I didn't feel so embarrassed.
But even if it was the result of an instruction, the performance of these knights was real, as if they were used to treating dinners as cocktail parties. They were really a group of strange guys.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look to the side. The strangest one should be this guy.
Although he is the leader of the monastery, he has many strange behaviors, one of which is that he calls staying in a dim environment a habit.
The knights carried out his orders without hesitation. Without further explanation, a glance was enough to make all his subordinates lower their attitude.
If you say that I don’t have qualified leadership skills and unique personal charm, I don’t believe it.
However, after a day of contact, one does not feel the other person's arrogance and majesty of being in a high position, and seems very approachable.
Even though Sophielina was an envoy sent by the Holy See, she did not have many doubts about the plan she proposed, and she executed it decisively and took good care of herself in all aspects.
Although the Church of Light has its reasons, I don't think the identity of a candidate for Saint is enough for a leader of a force that has separated from the Church and established itself in the Orwin Empire to treat her so solemnly.
So I guess this guy must have some intention, but judging from the details, he probably has no ill intentions.
This makes me even more curious about what the other party's purpose is.
As if she sensed her gaze, Claire stopped what she was doing and said, "I wonder if the food here suits Her Highness Sophielina's taste."
"Well, it's delicious. Thank you Sister Claire for the hospitality." Claire's words inexplicably reminded me of the bold words I had said before. The blush on my cheeks that had not yet faded suddenly reappeared, making me lower my head in embarrassment.
Claire was silent for a moment as the cute action of a canary fell into her eyes. She raised the wine glass beside the tableware and said, "After dinner, I will personally escort Her Highness Sophielina and Miss Hill to Soma Town."
Is this different from how the script developed?
"Hey, I thought Sister Claire would invite me to stay for a night." I quickly raised my head and looked at her with deer-like eyes.
Meeting my gaze, Claire turned away slightly unnaturally, "I thought Your Highness didn't like the environment here."
Is it based on your previous behavior?
I thought about it and it seemed that I did seem a little resistant, but I couldn't blame myself because the other party's behavior before was too abnormal.
So don't make it sound like I'm a scumbag.
"Well, if it doesn't bother other people." I still wanted to act like a saint who was ignorant of the world, so I said shyly,
Claire paused, her voice sounding a little low, as if she was suppressing something. "I will give orders right away to prepare the best room for Her Highness Sophielina."
No matter how lively a dinner party is, it will eventually come to an end. As the dusk in the sky gradually darkened, I said goodbye to Claire temporarily and followed the people arranged by her to the buildings in the southwest corner.
"Um, has Sophielina caused any trouble for you?"
Seeing me looking at the patrol team around, the priest girl leading the way suddenly understood and explained with a smile, "The patrol team's mission originally included the surrounding area. Your Highness Sophielina does not need to blame yourself."
"Like This."
But when I led the way to the rest room, I couldn't help but say, "Thank you for your hard work, big sister... Can you say thank you to the brothers and sisters in the patrol team on behalf of Sophielina?"
Just as they said, he is a kind-hearted child.
The priest girl showed a healed expression and nodded, "Of course, I think they will be very happy. Then I will leave first. I wish Your Highness Sophielina a good dream."
"Goodbye sister."
The room that Claire had arranged looked indeed to be the best furnished in the monastery.
The gray plush carpet that covers the entire room feels particularly warm when you step on it. The soft classical bed and the fluffy quilt make you want to jump into it and roll around. The mahogany furniture and the wall lamps that emit a warm glow give you a cozy feeling.
It is hard to imagine that there would be such aristocratic-style rooms in the monastery, but these were obviously not within my consideration.
"Hill, how about it, did I play my role well today~" After burying my body in the soft bed and rolling around a few times, I did not forget to take credit to Hill next to me.
She did not forget to express her gratitude till the very end, and her previous conversation with the pastor lady probably solidified her image as a good girl.
"Your Highness, aren't you worried that there is surveillance magic here?" Hill said softly as he observed the furnishings in the room.
"Hill is here, and I don't think that guy has any bad intentions."
Ever since I saw Hill's ability to tear the barrier apart with his bare hands last time, Hill has given me a complete sense of security. After all, that is the power that can modify the system rules.
However, Hill did not accept my flattery, "So this is also the reason why Your Highness chose to stay here overnight?"
"That's not the case." I shook my head and told Hill that I wanted to find out the other party's intentions. "But this is just by the way."
"I just thought about it at the dinner. Although the people from the monastery went to carry out Claire's order, there is no guarantee that something might go wrong. Just in case, I think it's better to stay here and pay more attention."
"But Your Highness may be in danger." Hill was silent for a moment, and there was obvious worry in his eyes when he looked at me.
"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. If we run into danger, Hill can just take me away."
If you didn't feel bad about the wasted energy, you could actually wait for a dozen days until the library produced enough golden pages to fill the gap.
However, the poor demon king had no choice but to humble himself and put on shameful clothes to please the enemies of the light camp.
So pitiful that I almost cry...
So what is the story behind this copy's art style? Is it limited to C97 or C98?
Seeing that Hill was still silent, I jumped off the bed and threw myself into his arms, rubbing against him, "Is Hill still angry with me? Blaming me for making the decision without consulting you."
"My subordinates dare not."
"Don't be angry, I like Hill the most~"
Hill looked at the spoiled girl in his arms, feeling a little helpless. He reached out and combed down the girl's messy blond hair. "Okay, Your Highness, I'm really not angry. So Your Highness, can you get up now? I have to go back to my room, otherwise those people will get suspicious."
"What will they say if I get intimate with Hill?" Although I said that, I still stuck out my tongue and loosened my arms.
It is true that after becoming a child, you can take advantage of many people openly, but of course you must always be on guard against being taken advantage of.
Chapter 96: Night at the Monastery (Part 2)
After saying good night to Hill and rolling around in bed, I was about to log off when I heard a knock on the door.
"Did you forget to say something, Hill?" I asked curiously as I gently opened the door.
However, what appeared in front of me was not Hill's familiar face, but another tall figure with a stack of clothes in his hand. He was still in the posture of knocking on the door. Obviously, he did not expect me to come and open the door so quickly.
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that the other person was someone I knew.
"Your Highness Sophielina, these are spare pajamas. Please change into them after taking a bath." The captain of the apprentice knights, Kai, who had been encountered in the previous incident, was now standing respectfully in front of him.
Although it was a bit unexpected, I had thought about the possible situations from the beginning. After all, the other party would not recognize me, so there was no need to worry too much.
"Thank you, sister." I calmed myself down and took the clothes from her. But I noticed her stealing glances at me and I couldn't help but blink. "Um, is there something on Sophielina's face, sister?"
"Sorry, not really."
Kai was not embarrassed when he was caught peeking. "It's just that I heard about Her Highness the Saint from others. So when I was assigned by Claire to protect Her Highness, I was a little curious about what Her Highness the Saint looked like."
"Well, I'm just a candidate for the Saint."
"Your Highness is so kind and lovely. I believe you will have many supporters."
Hearing the word "cute" from this guy who had made me suffer so much again, I couldn't help but curl my lips silently and change the subject, "Will Sophielina cause trouble to my sister?"
"No, if we hadn't been assigned here, my companions and I might not be able to live in such a nice room." Kai smiled slightly. Compared to the distance when they first met, he was now a little more friendly.
"Companions?" I looked outside the door and happened to meet a few pairs of eyes that were secretly looking over here. After they met my eyes, they immediately retracted their gazes. I knew without thinking that they were the ones who were previously sent to attack "Lilina".
Kai did not stay for long. He left after saying that he would come to get some clothes after he finished showering.
“I didn’t expect it to be them.”
Even though I thought Claire would take protective measures, I didn't expect that Kai and his team would be the ones sent here. After all, a level 30 elite doesn't seem to fit in with Claire's previous high-profile performance.
Could it be that he was worried that it would cause resistance from me, so he deliberately didn't let high-level guards come? If I think about it this way, if guards over level 100 came, in my previous eyes, I would indeed regard it as surveillance rather than protection.
As I thought about this, I stepped into the bathroom and used the prepared heating magic and running magic to fill the wooden basin with hot water.
Although this body seemed to be born with strange magical powers, it always remained clean even though it had not been cleaned much in the Demon King's Castle.
But at least it is necessary to pretend.
"Speaking of which, do you want to give those guys a hard time?"
However, if it weren't for them last time, I might not have been able to get the template and make the copy so quickly. And in the final analysis, it seems that it was all Alice who caused the trouble.
I shook my head, immersed my body in hot water and chose to get off the line.
Under the scolding of my sister-in-law and the gaze of my aunt as if she was looking at an internet addict, I hurriedly finished the reheated dinner, simply washed up, and then went to bed and returned to the game.
Just at this time, the water temperature has slowly dropped.
After putting on the spare clothes that were sent to me, I found that the texture of this nightgown and underwear was particularly light and soft, and it fit me very well. I guess it was not the material of ordinary silk fabrics.
"I'm really getting more and more curious about what that guy's intentions are."
I walked out of the bathroom while talking to myself, wondering why there were children's clothes in the monastery. It was obvious that the craftsmanship of this set of clothes could not be completed in a short time.
Just as strange as this thing, I took off the magic disguise on my head and took a look. The fur on the cat's ears was not wet at all. "It's ridiculous that it's waterproof."
Or rather, it’s fortunate that the two pieces of magic camouflage are made of waterproof material, otherwise I would really be worried about what terrible things would happen if I were directly exposed to the demonic aura inside the monastery.
That must be a scene filled with all kinds of holy light. Anyway, the paladins and priests here do this part-time.
Just when his thoughts drifted away inadvertently, his hands loosened and the cat-ear-shaped magic disguise fell down and bounced under the bed.
"Oh, that's bad."
When I came to my senses, I quickly lay down on the floor and reached out to grope back and forth under the bed, which was only high enough for one hand. Fortunately, the room was covered with plush carpets, otherwise the bath I had just taken would have been meaningless.
But I seemed to be too nervous about losing this crucial equipment, and I didn't notice the knock on the door behind me.
"Your Highness?"
Kai knocked on the door again, but still didn't get any response. Worried that something might go wrong, she looked at Bemira behind her and then forced the door open.
But after rushing into the room, the shocking scene in front of them stunned the two of them and Daisy and others who arrived later.
The blonde girl in a white nightgown was probably trying to find something under the bed. She was reaching her hand in very hard to feel around, not realizing that the vast area of her body was completely exposed to the air.
The white and tender legs knelt on the blanket, and the crystal clear blood vessels made the feet look too small and cute. The mysterious area under the nightgown was vaguely visible, but it was completely blocked by a golden cat's tail.
It seemed that she had not found what she wanted for a long time, so the little hand of Loli reached inside again. However, this action made the cat's tail completely free from the restraint of the skirt and stretched out, completely showing the blue and white colors in front of Kai and others.
"Huh, I finally found it..." I took out the cat-ear-shaped magic disguise from under the bed, wiped it and put it on my head. Only then did I notice the movement behind me, "By the way, was there any noise at the door just now?"
But when I turned around, I was met with the stunned faces of Kai and others. After a moment's reaction, my cheeks suddenly turned red, and I quickly stood up and pressed down the hem of my skirt.
"You...you all saw it?"
The shy blonde and the cat ears on her head seemed to move with her owner's shyness. After changing into a white nightgown, she seemed to have lost some of her purity and dignity and gained some kindness and cuteness like a girl next door.
To Kai and the others, this coy look seemed no worse than the previous scene.
Kai quickly responded, "I'm sorry, Her Highness Sophielina, we knocked on the door just now and got no response. We thought you might be in danger."
Now that I think of it, I seemed to have heard a similar knocking sound before, but I was so focused on getting my magic disguise back that I ignored it.
"Well... I... like cats very much... so..." I tried hard to find a reason to explain this awkward situation.
But it seemed that the other party knew to give him some face. "Your Highness is still just a child. He will always have his own interests and hobbies. Compared with this, Your Highness, can you give me the clothes you changed first?"
When she handed the clothes she had taken off to Kai from the bathroom with a blushing face, she found that Bemira, Daisy and Shim had helped her to make new sheets and pillows, and Bili next to her was putting a plate of milk and a small stack of cookies on the bedside table.
