Claire repeated softly, closing her eyes as if to comprehend the meaning of this sentence. After a moment, she opened her eyes again and said indifferently but unusually seriously, "We will consider Her Highness Sophielina's words carefully."
I nodded with satisfaction. It seems that these people do have some understanding. However, what is the charm of this adventure of Dragon Knight Alman that can attract Claire, Kai and others to pay so much attention to it? Could it be that the heroine is really a loli type?
Wait, something doesn't seem right.
I suddenly realized something—
Before meeting the heroine, the hero was just a knight! ?
No matter what the adventure of Dragon Knight Alman was, this journey was completed unknowingly, and under the guidance of Claire, they walked into the side hall where the dinner was to be enjoyed.
Just as the other party said, Hill was already seated. When he saw Claire and I coming together, a hint of vigilance flashed in his pupils and he lowered his voice.
"Sorry, Your Highness, I was going to take care of some things."
When I heard Hill's voice, I nodded to show my understanding, and signaled to her with my eyes to wait until we got back to talk about it.
The dinner was still very lively, and the various delicious dishes and desserts made people salivate, even though I had already had dinner.
After all, these foods in the game don’t bring much satiety and fat, otherwise it would not be without reason that so many girls in the previous life liked to make great contributions to the food industry of Jiyuan.
But halfway through, I remembered something I forgot to say before, and told Claire beside me that I would be leaving tomorrow.
The originally lively dinner suddenly became quiet. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Claire seemed to have considered this situation a long time ago. She was not surprised. She just paused her hand movements and remained silent for a while. "It is a great honor for us that Her Highness Sophielina can stay here for such a long time. We will practice for Her Highness tomorrow."
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Claire, and all the brothers and sisters in the monastery. Sophielina is very happy living here."
It's just that Claire tried her best to act calm, but that didn't mean the same to others. Although she gave me a kind smile when she made eye contact, the disappointment seemed to be faintly visible in her expression.
The atmosphere of the entire dinner seemed to become gloomy.
...Hey, what's with those aggrieved looks in your eyes? Why do I seem like a scumbag who abandoned her feelings?
Occasionally, someone would glance at me, but she would soon lower her head, as if she was sighing silently. This look of a little resentful woman in the boudoir suddenly made me want to complain strongly.
But soon, this weird atmosphere was broken by Claire's voice beside him.
"Her Highness Sophielina."
Although his expression did not seem to change, one could hear some hesitation in his tone, as well as a final decision.
"Can I invite you to join me at this impromptu party tonight?"
Chapter 136: Late-night party & identity exposed?
Fortunately, the impromptu gathering later in the day was at 8:30, but even so, I had to report to my sister-in-law first.
After taking a leisurely bath, he visited Cecilia's house with Ivan and played a card game for a while. He sent away Ivan who wanted to come over and use the bed, and after explaining the National Security Law to Cecilia, he returned home.
Finally, I browsed the news on the forum again and saw that the first Abyss-level clearance of the Black Prison Forest had indeed occupied the center of the topic. There were already a large number of comments under the strategy of the irresponsible strategy group. Most of them wanted to know whether it was the work of the strategy group, or were requesting an update on the strategy.
After finishing all the work, I go online around eight o'clock.
"Good evening, Your Highness." Hill, who was waiting by the bed, put down the book in his hand when he heard the noise.
"Ha... good evening." I yawned and climbed out of bed. Hill next to me also changed my pajamas for me and simply combed my slightly messy hair.
"By the way, Hill, have you found out anything?" While changing clothes, I remembered what I said before. He originally planned to explain it to me after returning, but Hill later realized something and decided to investigate further between after dinner and when he came online.
Hill hesitated for a moment. "Your Highness, there is something wrong with Claire's invitation today. I investigated her travels in the past few days and found that she had visited the Church of Light in Faenz and stayed there for a while."
"Do you think she has doubts about my identity?"
I almost understood what Hill meant. "It should be just a routine visit. There's no need to worry. After all, she can't find out anything about internal affairs since she has become independent from the Church of Light. Besides, the real Sophielina and her grandfather are not in the Fauns."
"I think it would be better for Your Highness to be more cautious."
"Don't worry, I'm very confident in my acting skills." I smiled and turned around to hug Hill's arm. "Besides, even if there is real danger, Hill can just run away with them. Anyway, the dungeon won't matter."
"Your Highness."
No one can resist the embrace and coquettishness of a cute little girl, but Hill seemed to have already developed patience. He always showed a helpless expression at this time in the past, but at this moment he seemed unusually rational.
"You were just thinking there might be something delicious at the party, right?"
...was actually seen through.
Although she said so, in the end Hill couldn't resist my constant nagging and followed me to the agreed place for the party, which was the Central Church. What I didn't expect was that Claire actually greeted me at the door in person, and it seemed like she had been waiting for a long time.
"My men and I are honored that Your Highness can attend us."
"Since Sister Claire has invited me, there is no reason for Sophielina not to go~"
Seeing me, Claire seemed relieved for some reason. She took Hill and me through the chapel in the front hall and entered the corridor connecting to the atrium through the side door. As if to ease the awkward atmosphere on the way, she took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"I thought about it for a long time after that, and I benefited a lot from your words."
"Huh, what?" I didn't react for a moment.
"I previously asked Your Highness a question about a novel." Claire explained softly.
Only then did I realize that the other party was referring to the incident before dinner.
Claire continued, "I never thought that Your Highness had such a thorough understanding of the Holy Light. Compared to Your Highness, I was like a mediocre person who was stuck in a quagmire without realizing it. Only after I heard Your Highness's teachings did I finally see the light."
It was like a psalm in the Bible that was translated by a machine and was full of embarrassing modifiers. Although Claire's tone seemed very sincere, it sounded extremely embarrassing to me. "Eh... well... it's not that great..."
"Don't be modest. Your Highness's theory of following one's heart has helped many people to no longer be confused. This is all thanks to your Highness." Although I couldn't see Claire's expression, I could hear the rare seriousness in her tone. "For me, this is even more true."
No, no, no, it’s better to say that you actually have so many book lovers. The heroine of this adventure novel is indeed a loli, right?
Just when I didn't know how to reply, fortunately Hill beside me came to my rescue at the right time, "Lord Claire, Her Highness has understood your intentions, please don't make it too difficult for her."
"……OK."
Claire fell silent and didn't say much.
Knights and clergy could be seen coming in and out of the corridors and courtyards, with tables and chairs for gatherings scattered around the church, or chatting. When they met us, they greeted us warmly.
But when we stepped into the atrium of the main venue, something seemed unusual. Although there were bright lights above and around us, and the combination of grilled meat and fruits on the table was mouth-watering, it was obvious that the solemn and dignified appearance of the people around us did not give us the relaxed and lively atmosphere that a party should have.
Boom.
As the door behind me closed, this strange feeling became stronger and stronger, and suddenly I felt a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart.
Hill narrowed his eyes slightly, protecting me behind him, looking at the alert knights gradually surrounding him, and the clergy not far away who seemed ready to fight at any time, and said in a clear voice, "Lord Claire, what do you mean? This doesn't seem like a party."
Claire reached out her hand to stop the crowd around her, turned around and said indifferently, "Sorry, we don't have any bad intentions. We just want Her Highness Sophielina to answer a small question for us."
"Or, are you really Her Highness Sophielina?"
Hey, hey, I'm not really exposed...
I was stunned for a moment, looking at Claire's expression that didn't seem to be joking. I was a little hesitant and unsure whether she was trying to trick me. "Well, Sophielina doesn't quite understand what Sister Claire is saying."
"I went to the Holy See of Light in Farnes."
Claire said calmly, "Although I can't find any information about Her Highness Sophielina, what I can find is that Miss Hill's name is not among the deacon nuns currently enrolled. I don't know how Miss Hill will explain this."
Oh no, I only paid attention to my own side and completely covered up the information that Hill missed.
I couldn't help but be shocked.
Hill's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already considered this point. "I am directly under the command of Lord Bishop White Lion. In order to prevent people from doing harm to His Highness, Lord White Lion deliberately concealed my name. Besides, with only this kind of evidence, Lord Claire's suspicion is a little untenable."
When mentioning the person with ulterior motives, there was a pause as if he was deliberately being sarcastic, making it seem as if it were a real situation.
"Really? It seems that Miss Hill has found a very good reason, but how can she deny it?"
Claire shook her head and called over a man, Shim, the priest in Kai's team. "Shim, you come and explain."
Shim nodded and looked at me with complicated eyes. "The day before yesterday, when I was sorting out the clothes that His Highness had changed out of, I unexpectedly found unusual traces. Although there was only a tiny trace, I am sure that it was definitely the breath of the devil."
"Shim's innate ability to sense aura is the strongest in the monastery, and I have also used the holy relics of the Holy See to detect it. Shim is not wrong."
Claire added that with this confirmation, Shim's statement was 100% confirmed.
Why is there a demonic aura on my clothes? Does this most likely mean...
However, when all the paladins and clergy around were waiting for a reasonable answer, a slightly trembling voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait, you can find out something like this. Did you do something terrible to her clothes?"
Quiet--
The whispers around suddenly disappeared, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became silent.
Everyone, including Claire and even Hill, subconsciously turned their eyes to Shim.
……
……
_(:з」∠)_Ah, why are there still three days left before the update...
By the way, there are probably still a dozen chapters left until the next volume, which is about traveling (po) to another country and the story of the protagonist starting school.
Chapter 137 These are a group of hopeless guys
Faced with someone's accusation, Shim was stunned. Surrounded by so many gazes, his face suddenly turned red and his eyes began to wander. "Hey, how is it possible? How can you put it on your face and smell it or rub it? How can you do that..."
He actually confessed all his crimes on his own initiative. Is he trying to get a reduced sentence by showing his good attitude of surrendering himself? Now it will be other people's turn to be surprised.
However, it turned out that the other party not only did not realize the gravity of his sin, but also defended himself as not guilty.
"Besides, it's normal to do this, right? This is to allow Her Highness Sophielina to wear cleaner and more comfortable clothes... and to confirm Her Highness's... development status..."
Unfortunately, however, not only was the speech illogical, but he was also backstabbed by his own teammates.
"We clearly agreed to work together, but you actually took action first. That's too much!" After reacting, Bili grabbed Shim's neck, trying to use the power of the Holy Word Mage's E growth to give him divine punishment.
However, these words seemed a little too shocking, causing everyone to really think about the meaning behind them.
Daisy and Bemira in the team were even more shocked. "What? Aren't we in the same team? Why didn't they invite us?"
Wait, is there something wrong? Could this be the result of an attempted crime by a group?
Just when everyone's minds were becoming confused again, Kai, the captain of the trainee team, uttered a helpless and slightly gnashing voice.
"You guys... didn't we agree not to touch His Highness's personal clothing?"
What? Did you have this idea from the beginning?
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes. After all, this kind of thing was too...
"unacceptable."
"It's so enviable."
I was about to condemn it indignantly, but the next second I heard the whispers around me. I couldn't help but be stunned subconsciously, "Huh?"
"That's great. I also want to live with Your Highness."
"I heard that they can even go and wake His Highness up. Damn, they can actually enjoy that cute sleeping face."
"In terms of contribution to the monastery or strength, we are obviously more suitable, if it weren't for Kai relying on her status as Claire's cousin."
"The sweet scent of Her Highness Sophielina's newly changed clothes makes me excited just thinking about it..."
"Stop talking, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
I almost forgot, even if these guys are causing internal strife, they are still a group of genuine lolita complex.
In the end, Claire had the awareness of a leader. She looked around and easily suppressed the strange discussions around her with her invisible aura. "I'm very sorry. I apologize for the rudeness of my subordinates."
"You think that's all you can do with such a perfunctory apology? This pervert must be punished!" I came to my senses, but I didn't want to give up. After all, just thinking about the clothes I wore being treated like this would give me goose bumps.
What I never expected was that my words were actually agreed by the people around me.
"Yes, it must be condemned."
“It’s really too much.”
The knights and clergy who have reacted are deeply aware of the seriousness and badness of this behavior, and are not envious, jealous or hateful.
Hey, are there any of you who betray your teammates like this?
Even though Shim, the person involved, had his neck locked, he couldn't help but cast angry glances around him.
Fortunately, as the captain, Kai still cares about the members of the team. "But if His Highness is really a devil, then Shim's actions are understandable."
Kai's words reminded everyone of the original topic, and all eyes in the hall focused on him again.
