Reiger’s thoughts were unclear to Naisa.
She knew that Liz, who carried Moslo, couldn’t co to this world, so she was full of disappointnt and didn’t notice Reiger’s contemplation.
However, she quickly sorted out her emotions and made her expression bright again.
Although Holy Sword Moslo and its Master couldn’t return, they had already welcod a new Savior.
Reiger Brillhaut, this young man is the new Savior, the Master of Holy Sword Marfa.
With him, the Source World can certainly restore its ancient glory and regain the advantage in the confrontation with the abyss.
Just as Naisa was filled with hope thinking this, suddenly, soone knocked on the door.
"What’s the matter?"
Naisa, returning to her senses, looked toward the door and asked aloud.
"Your Eminence."
A voice imdiately ca from outside, extrely respectful.
"A distinguished guest outside requests an audience."
Upon hearing this, Naisa completely lost her docile and respectful deanor she had in front of Reiger. Although her voice was still pleasant and lodious, she spoke with extre authority and indifference.
"I believe I’ve already ntioned that our Savior has just arrived at the Source World and needs ti to adapt. During this ti, we are declining visitors, are we not?"
If it weren’t for Naisa’s order, the threshold of the Holy Sword Church’s headquarters would probably have been tread upon by now, and Reiger wouldn’t have the chance to sit leisurely and enjoy a conversation with the Female Pope.
The Church’s people knew Naisa’s current thoughts and understood that their Savior shouldn’t be disturbed now.
However, they really didn’t have the right to stop the person visiting this ti.
"Your Eminence, the visitor is Her Highness lo Careadohart."
Upon hearing this, Naisa frowned imdiately.
"Wait a mont." Naisa instructed, and then turned to Reiger, asking tentatively: "Your Grace, would you like to et Her Highness lo?"
"Her Highness?" Reiger said thoughtfully, "If even you address them this way, then this person’s status must be quite extraordinary, right?"
"Yes." Naisa nodded, honestly saying, "Careadohart is one of the two major empires of the human race holding a significant position in the Source World."
"There are many human countries in the Source World, but only two are qualified to be called empires."
According to Naisa, the countries in the Source World differ from those on the Akasha Continent, having units determined by strength and influence.
Small countries with weak strength are basically self-proclaid duchies.
Above the duchy is the kingdom, and only a part of countries with stronger strength and influence can call themselves that.
The empire is the highest national unit.
Currently, the Source World has two major empires, six major kingdoms, and nurous other big and small duchies.
The two remaining Holy Swords in the Source World are stored separately in the headquarters of the Holy Sword Churches within the two empires.
Marfa’s Sword is the Holy Sword kept within the Careadohart Empire.
In other words, Reiger is currently located at the Holy Sword Church’s headquarters within the Careadohart Empire’s territory.
And the Holy Sword Church headquarters within the Careadohart Empire is situated in the imperial capital—Frosta.
"Her Highness lo is the First Princess of the Empire, considered the most outstanding among the current royal family mbers with the highest hope of inheriting the throne."
With Naisa’s explanation, Reiger basically understood why the Female Pope of the Holy Sword Church couldn’t easily shut the other out.
The Holy Sword Church holds a high position in the Source World, with the Pope’s status above the kings of kingdoms and duchies, equivalent to the Emperor of an empire.
Though lo Careadohart is not the queen of the empire, she is the royal princess most likely to inherit the throne, potentially becoming Naisa’s equal in the future.
In this case, Naisa naturally couldn’t casually ignore her.
"Alright then." Reiger nodded and said, "Since we’re on their territory, it’s only polite to acknowledge them."
"Let’s et, then."
"Okay." Naisa obediently responded, then turned back to the door, saying to the person outside: "Please have Her Highness lo co in."
The person outside responded and retreated.
Before long, Reiger heard a sound of strong and powerful footsteps.
Those were not the steps a weak princess would take, but rather the steps a confident female general would take.
"Forgive the intrusion, Your Eminence."
As soon as the door, guarded by two guards outside, was opened, the owner of the footsteps imdiately walked in and respectfully saluted Naisa.
After the salute, however, the individual’s gaze was instantly drawn to Reiger, as if attracted by so force.
Reiger also turned towards the voice, and a hint of anomaly flashed in his eyes.
For this uninvited imperial princess was indeed a great beauty.
Her age seed to be close to Naisa’s, at most around twenty, with slightly curly golden hair cascading down her slender back, yet tied into two buns on either side of her head, reflecting bright colors under the sunlight.
If Naisa gave Reiger the feeling of the moon, then this lo in front of him gave him the feeling of the sun.
Her pupils were also golden, but not as dazzling as Yanifet’s, nor as cold as hers, but filled with fiery brilliance and full of confidence.
As for her features, they were exquisitely beautiful, with a transparent, fair complexion even without makeup, paired with a valiant knight attire and a knight’s sword at her waist, she was undoubtedly a spirited and beautiful female knight.
Reiger had seen female knights before, but he had to admit that among all the female knights he had seen, almost none had the temperant and looks comparable to this lo before him.
She was soone who could leave a deep impression upon the first eting.
Not just because of her appearance, but her temperant and confidence made her as dazzling and charming as the sun in the clear sky.
Fortunately, Reiger was not unaccustod to seeing beauties, otherwise, he might have lost his composure.
On the other side, lo Careadohart’s gaze also held a hint of anomaly.
Because the boy sitting on the sofa, whom even the Female Pope of the Holy Sword Church served respectfully beside, gave her quite an astonishing feeling.
At first glance, lo almost overlooked him.
Because the presence of his existence was not strong, his aura was almost nonexistent, like a transparent person, extrely easy to ignore.
But once noticed, it was impossible to take her eyes off him.
lo sensed a mysterious, unique, and unfathomable aura from him.
Especially when his gaze landed on her, that calm expression and indifferent look made a surge of heat naturally spring up within lo.
Her body’s instinct told her that this boy before her was very unusual.
"Hello."
The impression from the first eting, combined with guessing his identity, made even soone as confident as lo unconsciously use respectful language.
"I am lo Careadohart, I ca uninvited, I hope you can forgive ."
lo no longer paid attention to Naisa, acting as if treating Reiger as the master here and respectfully bowed.
In response, Naisa appeared unfazed, as if lo ought to behave in such a manner, showing not a hint of displeasure.
"I am Reiger Brillhaut." Reiger glanced at Naisa, then looked at lo before him, saying, "If we’re talking about coming uninvited, then that should be ."
"Not only did I fail to inform your nation, but I also caused quite a stir in your empire’s capital. I should be asking you to pardon ."
Reiger’s words naturally elicited a shake of lo’s head.
"Please don’t say such things, sir." lo spoke seriously, "Please believe , no one in the Source will be unwelcoming of your arrival, your descent upon Careadohart is our honor."
Saying this, lo subtly glanced at the Holy Sword Marfa placed beside Reiger, and her golden eyes welled up with uncontrollable excitent.
This princess had seen the Holy Sword Marfa before.
The Sword Hall that worships the Holy Sword opens to the public once a month, allowing others to pray.
Since childhood, lo had often participated in the prayers of the Holy Sword Church, her familiarity with the Holy Sword Marfa was unmatched.
Though the rust has fallen off the blade, and the sword’s hilt and the Treasure Bead on it have beco bright and dazzling as if revitalized, unlike earlier when it was dim, lo instantly recognized the Holy Sword.
She also knew that only the savior recognized by the Holy Sword could pull the sword from the stand.
Even the people of the Holy Sword Church, if wanting to move the Holy Sword, could only move the entire stand along with the sword out of the chapel.
Only the Master recognized by the Holy Sword, the savior who can freely use the sword, can pull it out and carry it.
The legend is true.
Eleven thousand years later, they finally welcod the savior once more, and the Holy Sword Marfa now had a Master, a rightful owner.
As excitent surged in her heart, lo’s gaze at Reiger grew more respectful, even fervent.
"Please accompany to the palace, Father must be eagerly awaiting."
lo unexpectedly invited Reiger to the palace.
However, before Reiger could respond, Naisa intervened to stop lo’s actions.
"That won’t do, Your Highness." Naisa said, frowning, "The Master has just descended upon our world and there are still many aspects of our world unknown to him, he may not adapt to our environnt and customs."
"Before the Master gains sufficient understanding about the Source, bringing him to the palace and letting him interact with His Majesty and the ministers is unwise."
"Please retract your invitation temporarily, Your Highness."
The atmosphere shifted slightly with Naisa’s words.
