With this, I can say, every problem that occurred in this old castle town has been resolved.
The issue of the cherry blossom crowns that mark this old castle town as the sacred territory of the Goddess of Destruction has been resolved...
The issue regarding the alarm bells ringing after Sia used her holy dragon form has been resolved without any problems...
The issue regarding the Goddess of Sky and the Goddess of Destruction was also resolved peacefully...
Three problems that suddenly occurred... Is it bad luck or good luck?
I don’t know...
None of these problems would have occurred if the civilians of this old castle town had been able to experience the blessings bestowed by a Goddess. The responsibility to teach all of this lies with Jeanne and Furina, as representatives of the Goddess of Destruction follower and , who cannot remain in one place for long.
After calming Sia and my twin sister down regarding their topic of conversation, which was deaning the fake Saintess in the Aurora Goddess Shrine, I walked towards Jeanne and Furina, who were standing and staring at .
I still smiled and chuckled, rembering so of the words Sia and my twin sister had said about deaning the fake Saintesses. It was quite harsh to recall, like Alice refusing to sit and breathe the sa air as the fake Saintesses, or Alyssa refusing to let her eyes be tainted by seeing them. My twin sister’s words sounded harsh, but that happens without reason.
As for Sia, she would flaunt her Goddess’s blessings when encountering a fake Saintess. For a dragon girl blessed by the Goddess of Sky, it was easy for Sia to do. Showing her divinity as a real Saintess in front of a fake Saintess was undoubtedly an insult that lowered their self-esteem.
Tap...
Tap...
"You both look stressed..."
"Are you okay, Jeanne?"
"Furina?" I asked Jeanne and Furina, who were looking at with downcast eyes.
I had noticed the downcast look in their eyes while talking to the Goddess of Destruction and the Goddess of the Sky.
"W-We’re fine, my Monarch. I just feel guilty after seeing my Monarch’s responsibility before my own eyes," Furina replied while pulling her head up, and her eyes were level with mine.
"The blessing and the formation of the divine magic circle that just happened... it ca from another Goddess who happened to be involved in a quarrel with the Goddess of Destruction, right?" Furina continued asking, looking anxious and rubbing her hands together.
Nod...
I nodded my head, confirming Furina’s suspicions.
It did seem like a montary feud between the Goddess of Sky and the Goddess of Destruction.
"Yes, because the Goddess of Destruction was sulking at the Goddess of Sky after she attempted to make one of her Saintesses. It cost almost all my magical energy and drained my magic core to talk to our sulking Goddess. It’s worth to try, though..."
"Also, it was worth the result, the Goddess of Sky and the Goddess of Destruction have made peace after they talk to each other," I continued while smiling at Furina.
Jeanne and Furina, who heard my words imdiately, looked at with worried eyes. They approached slowly and put their hands on my shoulders, to pat my shoulder.
Pat...
Pat...
"It’s a big responsibility to calm two Goddesses who are at odds with each other. Are you all right, my Monarch?" Jeanne asked, while patting my shoulder with her hand.
"Yes, whatever happened before... its already done with peace. I received compensation in the form of refilling my magic core using holy magic from the Goddess of the Sky and the Goddess of Destruction. And there so issues with our current problem, which ans... I will be even busier with the affairs of the other Goddesses and several Saintesses who coincidentally experienced the sa thing as us," I said while taking a deep breath and telling this important information.
With this crucial information, Furina and Jeanne knew what I was talking about. As a forr mbers of heretical cult, who were familiar with their ins and outs, they already knew so of what was happening without knowing the details.
"That monster’s offspring has been causing so trouble all over the place," Jeanne muttered, looking furious and gripping her hands tightly.
"That was certain to happen, as the monster offspring were being spread massively through the currency implented by the heretical sect. Does this an... we have to cooperate with other Saintesses who are experiencing the sa thing, my Monarch?" asked Furina, who was beginning to plan her future goals.
I thought about this for a mont.
Making the old castle town the Frontline defense against the heretical sect and establishing the main base of the Goddess of Destruction Shrine, it sounded like a good plan, and this old castle town had also beco a sacred territory blessed by the Goddess of Destruction. So, that plan can be carry out.
Based on Alice and Alyssa’s words, the sacred territory of the Goddess of Destruction could be felt by Sia, who was flying high in the sky.
In other words, this old castle town has beco a sacred area where the real Saintess can feel the presence of Goddess of Destruction divinity, and there is a possibility of another Saintess coming to this old castle town.
My head was filled with all sorts of possibilities that would happen over the next few months, while I was busy with the military expedition.
"I think it would be fine to cooperate with another... real Saintess,as long as Duchess Kaori is directly involved in this matter, without her troubleso representatives," I said while glancing at the fat male nobleman who was still lying on the ground and still crushed by the door of the luxurious horse-drawn carriage.
As soone who didn’t want to get involved in trouble and wanted to run away from his responsibilities, the fat nobleman remained loyal to being unconscious.
"You can also trust Yuna and Shiori with anything concerning the Shrine of the Goddess of Destruction or the arrival of the other... real Saintesses. Be sure to keep updated on any developnts with them," I continued, making a decision that would determine Jeanne and Furina’s direction.
This decision I made sounded like a Monarch of Holy Destruction who didn’t want to get involved in every problem, but still wanted to know about every problem that was happening to the followers of the Goddess of Destruction.
"Yes, my Monarch, I will send you a letter when that happens," replied Furina, who seed to obey my decision.
"Oh, if you et another Saintess. Be sure to treat them kindly, even they’re a fake Saintess."
"I don’t want you two get involved in any troubleso matters, as a new religion has built a Shrine of the Goddess of Destruction within Duchess Kaori’s territory. So other nobles family might try to approach you for their political interests, which will be taken care of by Duchess Kaori," I continued while glancing at Duchess Kaori, who was walking towards .
Tap...
Tap...
Duchess Kaori and Hikari walked over to , their expressions were happy, and they smiled with pride.
"Leave all matters related to politics between nobles family to , Lily-sama."
"I will show them the strength of a Duchess who is trying to rise from her weakest state," said Duchess Kaori while looking at with a gentle look in her eyes and a strong determination to do everything related to her dignity as a Duchess.
"That’s going to be a real hassle. Are you ready for that?" I asked back, making sure Duchess Kaori was ready to take on the heavy responsibility.
What Duchess Kaori, Jeanne, and Furina will do in the future will be seen as an attempt to separate themselves from the Aurora Kingdom main religion. Just by establishing the Shrine of the Goddess of Destruction, it already shows a different path from the royal family that believes in the Goddess Aurora.
This will create a new political conflict between the nobles family, who will escalate into a rather troubleso and seemingly foolish religious conflict. The Goddess Aurora and the Goddess of Destruction, who are close to each other, will see their followers hate each other. Even though, there is still one major enemy that must be defeated, which is the heretical sect.
"I’m forced to be prepared for that, aren’t I?" Duchess Kaori replied with a resigned smile on her face.
"If you’re not ready, I can send Jeanne and Furina to act independently without being under your protection, you know..."
"That would just show that I’m not working as a proper Duchess, Lily-sama," said Duchess Kaori, who now looked annoyed and sullen.
"A political and religious issues will arise, so prepare yourself for that!" I ordered Duchess Kaori and smiled at her.
By giving that simple command, all the problems in this old castle town were solved, and the sunlight beca warr.
I glanced at my twin sisters and Sia, when they were walking towards with serious looks on their faces.
"Neee... Onee-sama, is the matter in here already resolved?" Alice asked without further ado and glanced at Duchess Kaori, who was standing in front of .
"Alice, don’t be so rude like that. Lily-nee is talking to a Duchess... A Duchess who holds a noble title far above our father. Lily-nee try to building a good relationship between the Duchess and the Marquess family, so give Lily-nee more ti to say a few words of goodbye to her," Alyssa said while smiling at .
I can assure... they both said that to on a purpose.
I know, I’ve been away from my military expedition for quite so ti now...
And Aiko must have had a hard ti maintaining the magic circle formation that mapped out the area around the forest that Marquess Roml’s knights were exploring.
I smiled as I imagined Aiko’s face struggling to maintain my magic circle formation...
I have to go back soon, huh?
I was helped by Alice and Alyssa to create a reason to co back soon, even though the reason was a bit forced.
"Momo..." I imdiately called Momo, who was stuck on the ground.
Swwuuppp...
By pulling out her cursed Odachi sheath that was stuck in the ground and flying low towards , Momo answered my call and placed her cursed Odachi sheath into my grasp.
"It’s ti for to return..." I said to Duchess Kaori and Hikari, who had been silent beside Duchess Kaori.
By saying such simple parting words, I imdiately used the blessing of the Goddess of Destruction to create a teleportation slash.
Cttaakk...
Srriinngg..
Blaassshhh!!
My magic core, which was filled with holy magic from the Goddess of Sky and the Goddess of Destruction, was able to pull the hilt of the cursed Odachi so easily.
It feels different than usual...
Sohow, it felt light and easy to create a teleportation slash. With the destination of my teleportation slash in mind, I slashed the air current in front of and opened a teleportation slash, ready to be used to return ho.
Sllaaasshh...
Bwwaanngg!!
After creating a teleportation slash, I put the cursed Odachi’s sharp blade into its sheath and got ready to go ho.
