Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Saintess of the Church of Light VS Ambitious Maid (Part 8) Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Saintess of the Church of Light VS Ambitious Maid (Part 8) “Heatherv, recently the Emperor of the Deep Blue Empire sent a confidential letter seeking help, saying that a large part of their country’s northern territory is being disturbed by the Demon Clan. Since you are also going to visit the entire Arcane Continent on behalf of the Church of Light, why not take a trip to the Deep Blue Empire first?”
After the coronation ceremony, the Pope said to the Saintess.
The Demon Clan? The Demon Clan was banished by the God to the Land of Inauspicious, located across the Endless Abyss, also known as the Abyss of Death, from the Arcane Continent ten thousand years ago.
How could they have crossed the Endless Abyss to reach the Arcane Continent?
Gu Shengyin had no reason to refuse.
Two days later, she was ready to leave.
When the Holy Maiden of Light traveled, the entourage was, of course, incredibly luxurious.
The Holy See sent not only a hundred priests to accompany her but also deployed an entire elite Knights of Light to guard her safety, along with two Cardinals and several Bishops who traveled with the Saintess.
Even the Pope himself would not travel with greater procession.
“Her Holiness, the Commander of the Knights of Light, Lord Carlos, requests an audience,” Heidi entered and whispered to Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin noticed her face seemed a bit red.
“Let him in,” Gu Shengyin said.
When Carlos entered, Gu Shengyin understood why Heidi’s face was so red.
The commander of the Knights of Light was not only young but also a rare handsome man.
He had a head of radiant gold hair without a hint of other color, and his deep blue eyes were more vast and mysterious than the ocean; when he smiled, it seemed as if he lit up the entire hall.
The three major knight’s orders of the Church of Light: The Knights of Light, the Holy Knights, and the Knights of Glory, were the greatest martial strengths of the Holy See.
Any knight from these three orders was at least a legendary Sword Master.
To be a commander of one of these orders, one must be at least a Sword Saint.
A Sword Saint was already among the peak combatants of the Arcane Continent.
Such a handsome and powerful knight, no wonder Heidi was moved.
“Good day, Her Holiness,” Carlos entered and performed a knight’s salute to Gu Shengyin.
“Good day, Lord Carlos,” Gu Shengyin nodded to him.
“The Knights of Light are ready.”
Gu Shengyin nodded, “I am ready as well.”
When the Saintess of the Church of Light traveled with such an entourage, it was naturally known throughout the continent.
At every location, countless people prayed for an audience with Her Holiness, but Carlos turned most of them away.
“I beg your forgiveness for taking liberties, Her Holiness,” Carlos came to Gu Shengyin to apologize after the caravan stopped for a rest that day.
“Lord Carlos, you did well; among those people, there are few truly steadfast in their faith.”
Upon hearing this, Carlos smiled inwardly: this Saintess, indeed, was as legendary, her faith in the God of Light unshakably firm.
They reached the Deep Blue Empire almost without delay.
The Deep Blue Empire had known about their arrival a few days earlier; the Emperor, along with all members of the Imperial Family, greeted Gu Shengyin at the city gates.
“God of Light above! With Her Holiness and all the others, the crisis in my Deep Blue Empire will surely be resolved!” the Emperor of the Deep Blue Empire said with an emotional face.
“Host, there was no fluctuation of emotion in this man’s speech,” the system reminded.
Gu Shengyin glanced at the Emperor: So, he was putting on an act, unaware of what this Emperor had prepared for them in the Deep Blue Empire, waiting for her.
“Her Holiness, the Deep Blue Empire has arranged a welcome banquet in your honor,” Heidi came in.
She now bore much less hostility toward Gu Shengyin, the reason being simple: the Saintess could not marry or be in love for life.
As the maid of the Saintess, she didn’t have such restrictions.
Looking at Carlos, she was now glad that she hadn’t been chosen then.
