Reiger raised his eyebrows, watching the expressions of the two girls, one gold and one silver, before him begin to beco a bit strange.
He could feel that these two girls, whose looks and temperant were flawless, and whose identities and statuses were extrely high, suddenly started opposing each other.
"Your Majesty."
lo finally looked at Naisa again, speaking forcefully.
"I clearly understand your concerns, but since the Master has descended upon Frost in our Karedohart Empire, ignoring his presence would undoubtedly be the greatest disrespect to the Holy Sword and its Master."
"Father is surely anxious too; the legendary savior has arrived, and this is an event of paramount importance to the entire Source World, and we cannot afford the slightest negligence."
"I ask for your understanding, I can assure you that I will absolutely protect His Majesty thoroughly, and will not let him encounter any danger."
lo’s argunt did not make Naisa retreat.
"I understand the excitent of both His Highness and His Majesty, in fact, everyone is excited and eager to et the savior. I can comprehend everyone’s feelings."
"But as the Guardian of the Holy Sword, the duty of the Holy Sword Church is to relieve the Master of any worries and protect them from any malevolent threats."
"Please understand, I am not trying to prevent His Majesty from contacting the Empire, it’s just that right now is indeed too early."
Naisa shook her head, speaking with stubbornness.
"We cannot confirm what changes His Majesty’s arrival may bring to the Empire, nor can we ensure that everyone in the palace harbors goodwill towards His Majesty. Do you understand my aning?"
Whether lo understood Naisa’s implication, Reiger didn’t know, but he naturally did.
Despite being praised highly by both Naisa and lo, he did not lose himself, nor did he beco carried away, unable to see reality.
At least, he knew clearly that since he was such a crucial person to the Source World, in the eyes of those in power, he was not just a savior.
Those in power might not have malicious intent towards Reiger, but they didn’t necessarily have goodwill either.
Perhaps, quite a few people think of using his identity, or even his power, to gain benefits for themselves?
It is precisely to prevent this that Naisa is in place.
In her view, Reiger has just arrived and knows too little about this world, suddenly thrusting into a palace where the intrigues of those in power constantly intersect is no less than venturing into a dragon pit or a tiger’s den.
Perhaps, if careless, Reiger might end up being sold out by others and might even count the money for them.
To avoid such an occurrence, Naisa absolutely forbids anyone from taking Reiger away right now.
Only within the Holy Sword Church is Reiger truly safe.
"Your Majesty..."
lo’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed suddenly.
"Your Highness." Naisa had to remind her sincerely, "Don’t forget, in our world, there are those infernal cultists."
Upon these words, lo’s expression changed imdiately.
"Infernal cultists?"
Reiger’s eyes flashed, as if he understood sothing.
The reception room suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke anymore.
Reiger still intended to observe for a while, trying to clarify the current situation and gather so intelligence, therefore, he remained indifferent and refrained from voicing an opinion.
Naisa silently stared at lo, showing an uncompromising stance.
lo’s expression changed for a while, then she sighed.
"If that’s the case, I won’t force it, Your Majesty." lo solemnly said to Reiger, "Once you have adjusted to this world, we sincerely invite you to visit the palace, so we can officially welco and entertain you."
"Alright."
Reiger smiled lightly and nodded faintly.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
Naisa’s expression also softened.
"However, Your Majesty, the safety of His Majesty the Master and Marfa cannot be entirely entrusted to the Church." lo suddenly said to Naisa, "After all, His Majesty has descended within the borders of our Karedohart, regardless of the stance or purpose, Karedohart has an obligation to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Master and Marfa."
"Therefore, please allow to make arrangents to guard His Majesty."
"My guard is nearby, let participate in the work to protect His Majesty."
lo’s proposal made Naisa furrow her brows again.
Yet she had no reason to refuse, given this is, after all, the Karedohart Empire.
The Master of the Holy Sword is the savior of the entire Source World, and his safety concerns not only the Holy Sword Church, but all life species dwelling in the Source are apprehensive.
If sothing happens to the savior within the borders of Karedohart, Karedohart would imdiately face condemnation from all Source World species combating the abyss, even the citizens within the nation would condemn Karedohart.
By then, protests and demonstrations would be minor issues, but a disappointed uprising would be a calamitous event.
If things go wrong, the entire Careadohart Empire might fall apart, and at the very least, the royal family would be ousted.
Therefore, whether for public or personal reasons, considering the grand cause of opposing the abyss or the stability of the nation, lo’s proposal is extrely reasonable.
At the sa ti, as the first princess of the Careadohart Empire and the royal mber most likely to inherit the throne, lo personally guarding Reiger is not neglecting this savior.
Perhaps, she also harbors thoughts of leaving a good impression in Reiger’s heart to win him over.
But no matter what, she always acts for Reiger’s benefit, not to his detrint.
Upon thinking this, although reluctant, Naisa nodded in agreent.
"I understand, let Your Highness’s guards remain here and guard Your Excellency along with the Church," Naisa nodded while warning: "However, please be careful in selecting the guards, and ensure that no cultists of the abyss co near the Master and Marfa."
"You can rest assured about this, Your Eminence," lo replied without hesitation: "The safety of the Master and Marfa is sothing I will not neglect."
"Very well." Naisa finally showed a faint smile.
...
Afterward, the three of them talked for a long ti in the reception room.
Mainly, Naisa and lo discussed at length the safety of Reiger, formulating various action plans, and thus talked endlessly.
Reiger did not interrupt this discussion, but watched coldly from the sidelines.
It wasn’t until later that he asked so questions, prompting Naisa to continue answering for him.
lo also chid in occasionally, educating Reiger about various matters concerning the Careadohart Empire.
They conversed like this for several hours before lo reluctantly left.
Naisa, as the Female Pope of the Holy Sword Church, also had many subsequent tasks to handle today, which were quite urgent, but she prioritized Reiger’s matters, setting everything else aside and neglecting them temporarily.
Upon learning of this, Reiger did not want to waste Naisa’s ti, so he sent her away.
Naisa initially did not want to leave, but under Reiger’s insistence, she eventually departed reluctantly like lo.
As for Reiger, upon discovering there was a library within the Holy Sword Church, he took the initiative to express his desire to visit it.
Books are a good thing.
Through the collection in the Holy Sword Church, Reiger could fully understand this Source World by himself, rather than relying on third-party descriptions to make decisions.
Being new here, Reiger could not completely trust Naisa and lo yet.
Concerning this world and these people who regard him as a savior, Reiger still needed to gather more information to determine his next steps.
Thus, Reiger imrsed himself in the library, beginning to study diligently without concerning himself with external affairs.
And just like that, Reiger delved in for three whole days.
During these three days, the Holy Sword Church was abuzz with unprecedented excitent.
Countless dignified individuals arrived here hoping to et Reiger, and nurous crowds gathered outside the church’s gates, wishing for a glimpse of the savior’s esteed presence.
With the Holy Sword Marfa recognizing its master, the savior’s return to the Source World stirred up waves of excitent, sweeping through all nations and even affecting various life forms.
Due to this, the entire Source World was abuzz, and a variety of people took action, whether with goodwill or malice, focusing their attention on this rumored savior.
Unfortunately, whether their intentions were conscious or subconscious, it was impossible for them to et Reiger at this ti.
The Holy Sword Church turned everyone away, including the rest of the Careadohart Empire’s royal family, who were ruthlessly denied entry and not allowed to et Reiger.
Only lo, with her guard and the knights allocated to her by the imperial family, arrived at the Holy Sword Church to participate in guarding Reiger.
However, even lo was unable to et Reiger during these three days, leaving the long princess of the empire extrely puzzled.
Not to ntion lo, even Naisa, upon hearing Reiger had dived into the library, dared not disturb him and refrained from casually eting him due to her reluctance to interrupt.
Thus, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
After three days, Reiger erged from the Holy Sword Church’s library.
His eyes showed no sign of fatigue, yet his face bore a slightly thoughtful expression.
"Your Excellency!"
Upon learning of Reiger’s ergence from the library, Naisa hurriedly dropped all her current tasks, lifting her dress, and quickly ran to Reiger.
However, before Naisa could speak, Reiger took the initiative to express his intentions.
"I am going out."
These words sent a jolt through Naisa’s heart.
"Your Excellency, where do you plan to go?"
Naisa hastily inquired with concern.
In response, Reiger did not conceal anything and provided an answer that left Naisa feeling surprised and stunned.
