Chapter 405 – Overtime

Christmas Day, a day made to commemorate the day when the Goddess, worshiped and worshiped by many people living on this earth, first descended on this earth.

This year, for those living on this land, we give thanks and faith to the Goddess who allowed us to live and breathe until the end of the harvest, which is most important than anything else, and let us spend this year safely.

All the people and nobility living in this land, even the queen and princess of the kingdom, worthy of being said to be the continent’s largest event, personally visited the church and attended the event to shine.

Indeed, this day could be said to be a day to congratulate oneself on safely passing this year as a purely human to human being, transcending the difference in status, and to pray for eternal safety and well-being in the future.

But,

Not befitting a holy event where everyone’s face will never stop smiling, there were people wearing cold armor and carrying spears for slaughter in their hands.

They surround the church, which can be said to be the headquarters of the Goddess Church, where events are held secretly, away from people’s eyes, and keep an eye on them.

Surprisingly, there were many knights who protected the kingdom and the royal family, and for some reason, many of them wore pure white armor that symbolized the crusaders of the goddess.

While secretly hiding their bodies, they were monitoring each and every one of those who entered the church to hear the good words of the saint this year, and were even ready to jump out immediately if a suspicious person appeared.

Although it was impossible to check their facial expressions, including their eyes, due to the head visor, the momentum flowing from them was such that it would not be strange even if one died immediately.

And then, clap! The knights got down on one knee to show their allegiance as red-haired women mounted among them rode among them, clad in armor like the others.

The paladins, who only served goddesses and saints, only bowed their heads and paid respect to the appearance of the queen who ruled the kingdom and the princess who would succeed the queen in the future.

-Dare…
– Rude guys, can’t you get down on your knees?

As expected, due to the head visor, the facial expressions are still unknown, but the knights show their displeasure and anger at the paladins who dare not kneel to the queen and princess, but the paladins remain silent.

– Hello, these guys!
“All right. Now is not the time to be blinded by trivial battles over things like this.”

At this, a loyal knight tried to take his hand with the sword tied around his waist, but soon bowed his head again at the words of Reifeld, the long-haired woman and the supreme leader of this country,

Ariel, the red-haired woman right next to Lei Felt and the future princess who would succeed Lei Felt as the queen of this country, spoke on behalf of her mother.

“Report.”
– So far, no suspicious person or signs have been observed.
“… That makes me more anxious.”

A joint operation with the Holy Knights of the Goddess Church, according to the wise man’s words that there is a high possibility that the gang who suddenly appeared and kidnapped the saintess and the leader of the Holy Knights a few months ago will try to schem something by taking advantage of the Christmas festival.

Perhaps one day, in broad daylight, if the fact that the saintess and the leader of the Holy Knights were abducted by some group spreads among the common people, you may not know what kind of confusion it will cause.

Only those present and a very few other people know about the disappearance and kidnapping of Violet and Christia.

Since a large number of people cannot move and cause more chaos, they are hiding with knights equivalent to the Paladins called one per hundred without ordinary soldiers.

Ariel still couldn’t erase her anxiety.

‘It’s a problem even if it appears, it’s a problem even if it doesn’t appear.’

As mentioned earlier, since only a very small number of people knew about the kidnapping of the saintess and the leader of the Holy Knights, the common people were still unaware of the saintess’ absence.

So far, the Goddess Church has been able to evade it, saying that the saintess is busy with some kind of work or that she is absent, but if the saintess’ absence from the Christmas festival, which is held once a year, is known, from then on, doubts will sprout among the people. Unstoppable.

Even so, rumors are circulating among the people that she might be sick because of her saintess’s disappearance for several months.

She was a saint, she was absent on the most significant and monumental day when the goddess first descended on this land?

It was obvious that the bad rumors about the saintess that had been circulating among the people for several months would literally spread like wings all over the land, as well as disgrace the face of the simple Goddess Church.

But if it doesn’t appear, it’s just an unfounded rumor, a snack of simple luxury. !

“Eleonora… “

She saw through the crystal ball the day the saintess was kidnapped by her, and she never forgot the ghastly sight of her beyond.

‘That Eleonora, that proud Eleonora of hers, without her clothes on, prostrated in front of her dark-haired man, shaking her hips as she took her man’s food. … !?’

“Ariel?”
“Yes, yes heh?!”
“Are you okay? Her face is red Even if it’s a cold… “
“No! Hmmm, oh my… Her Majesty the Queen.”

Did Ariel unknowingly burst into anger at that horrendous sight, at the sight of her close friend who had become obscenely depraved? The article flashed into her mind.

‘Eleonora, following you, I also practiced training over and over again. Even though I haven’t reached your level, if I’m with her mother… !’

In the future, bad rumors about her will continue to follow her, but if Eleonora and her gang appear this time as she expected, this time they will surely bring her Eleonora back from the man who corrupted her in such an obscene way!

But first…

“Mother, let me tell you something… “

Just as she was about to reveal to Lei Felt the things she had seen that day, her secret about the existence of her close friend, which she had been hiding from her mother,

Aaaaah-!!

“Ariel, look at that!”
“That!?”

Suddenly, in the circular magic circle being created from the sky around the church, and the dazzling light covering the church as if it were suddenly pouring down below, Reifeld and Ariel pulled the reins of their horses at the same time without saying anything first and went to the church with the paladins. Started running towards it.

– Huh?
-What is that?
– I don’t know what it is, but I’m running away… ?!

As expected, the people who were embarrassed by the huge magic circle generated from the top of the church were unable to do this.

“You don’t have to put an end to the situation quickly. Because the wise man got a call that he would be joining us soon! But… “
“You mean to resolve the situation quickly before the confusion of the people escalates further!”

If a rumor circulates that the saintess has been out of doors for several months, the great sage of the Mage’s Tower is basically a unit of several years, so if she lifts her heavy hips, the weight of her rumors will increase as well.

People make rumors just as seats make people.

Even if the rumor that the sage has moved, not even others, goes into someone’s ears, from that moment on, the situation that is currently happening is virtually certain because the possibility of being distorted into a major event of a global crisis is high.

‘… Of course, it’s not that much, but it’s a national emergency.’

For the sake of her close friend, for the noble female knight who took off her clothes in front of the bandits to protect herself even though it was her own fault for showing off her blood and ignorance at first!

Ariel, like Ray Felt, held up a long conical lance in her hand and quickly advanced to the church with the knights and paladins who were watching the church from all over the place for this day, and the church without any leaks. Besieged.

– It’s mom!
– Get out of here! In front of the Goddess, what the hell is this, Her Majesty the Queen and the Princess?!

Civilians were horrified at the sight of the two mother and daughter galloping on horseback wearing armor on this fine day, but neither Reifeld nor Ariel had time to worry about such things right now.

Now, a situation might have occurred from the church where only a faint ray of light shines down and beyond that firmly closed door, but above all, there are countless people inside.

“First of all, some of the knights will start controlling civilians at the gates until the situation is over! The rest of the knights, me, Ariel, and the paladins… “

-Kyaa, kyaaak?!
-Saint?!
-Where did you suddenly appear, that, more than that, that figure?!

“There is no time for delay. I’m on my way!”
“Mother! I have something to tell you… Whoa, I will follow you!”

As expected by the sage, her group, who kidnapped her saintess under the guise of her Christmas rite, appeared here with her. Leifelt instructed the knights to open the church door,

I pulled the reins again with the signal that the front door was open wide with Ariel, and entered the chapel where there was a commotion because I did not know what to say.

“This is it!”
“Right now, return the saintess and Eleonora that you guys kidnapped, huh?!

And both mother and daughter were able to find it.

A statue of a goddess holding her hands together with a benevolent face, a large bed that does not match the stained glass that creates a noble atmosphere, and naked women on top of it covered in white turquoise and smelling of obscene chestnut flowers.

“Uh, why… Why… ?!”

The dark-haired man that Ariel himself had seen through the crystal ball, and the naked saintess, Violet, opening her crotch towards them while being embraced by the man.

And

“Oh my, who the fuck are you?”

Even Shinseon-dong, who unwillingly exposes his naked body to Ariels in front of countless eyes.
