Book 1: Chapter 58
Though I slept holding Leah that night, I wasn't thinking of her. I, instead, thought of Veirya.
The flame in the room burnt until the sun came up. The town only became quiet after the sun appeared.
After a sleepless night, I got out of bed on a peaceful day - which is rare - to prepare breakfast for my daughter and Veirya. Veirya probably didn't eat anything yesterday. Actually, she must've eaten a fair bit when she was with me, Angelina and the man. Otherwise, she would've had me go and cook for her last night. I don't know who came up with the idea of swapping the mother and daughter, maybe they came up with it in the spur of the moment. Whatever the case is, this prank is frustrating me to no end.
Unsurprisingly, I saw Veirya when I went downstairs. She was sitting at the table as always. I don't know if she slept last night, but I see her sitting here every day. She doesn't drink or eat anything, speak or move. She just sits there in silence as if she was a statue. Normally, I wouldn't care, but when I see Veirya's face now, I can't help but feel nervous all over. As a matter of fact, I don't dare to look her in the eyes. I stood at the stairs and hesitated. I wasn't sure what the best way to enter was.
"What's wrong?"
Veirya noticed me standing at the entrance. She looked at me, and before I figured it out, she asked with puzzlement, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Ah No No."
"Go and cook, then. I'm hungry."
I adjusted my mood and feelings.
==================
Current time inside the city.
"The heretics conducted their festival so conceitedly. The kingdom is now ruled by God. Only our god is protecting them now! Conducting such an evil and vulgar festival is the equivalent of questioning our god's authority!! Our chapel has come here, so we have the responsibility to purify our lands. If those heretics sincerely correct their wrongs by offering money and respect to our god, then we are brothers and sisters. However, if they refuse to realise their wrongs, then we shall purify our lands with the sword in our god's hand!!"
"Your Excellency, Veirya is there, though. She is the exemplar of the military, and the hero that slayed the Demon King. If we stick our noses into her territory that she manages, I am afraid that we will come into conflict. I am afraid that would put us in a passive position."
"What's there to be afraid of? She only managed to slay the Demon King thanks to our god's blessings. Our knight isn't inferior to her. Those who oppose God must pay the price no matter who they are!!"
The man looked at the boastful bishop. He didn't say another word. The bishop smiled then said, "But, Mr. Alex, have you prepared the military funds and provisions you were supposed to provide us with?"
The man looked at the bishop's bald head and nodded gently. He said, "Yes."
"Good, then. Send them over as soon as possible. Then, we can begin our purge of the heretics! For our faith! For our god!"
The man didn't go along with the bishop's act of foolery. Instead, he saluted him and left the chapel. He turned his head to look at Angelina, "The chapel won't get anywhere"
"Do you plan to help Veirya, I mean, Mr. Dongqing then?"
"You're already addressing him by his name, huh? It looks like you really like him."
"I really like pure men. It gives me the thrill of hunting."
"Do you know twisted that sounds when you say it with that cold look? I don't plan to, though. I don't trust him very much yet. Let's watch for now. Let's see how he deals with the chapel. Angelina, I know that it's inconvenient for you to show yourself when dealing with this, since their enemy is Veirya, while you're the chapel's knight, so I won't go over."
"Thank you. However, I really want to go and see that child."
"Veirya will kill you. She really will."
"She would've anyway."
