“Mosoren Igniwel…”
Loya muttered the familiar-sounding name.
He smacked his forehead——
Okay, he just couldn’t remember, all he was familiar with was the Holy Sword family’s surname.
Perhaps a cannon fodder character?
If he didn’t remember it after so many cycles, then it was mostly unimportant——Loya judged based on experience.
“The second young master of the Igniwel family, said to have swordsmanship no less than the Knight King, and is very handsome and talented.
He is a very excellent noble, has a good reputation in Florence, and is admired by many girls in the upper class.”
Fluvia introduced him like reciting a dictionary entry, as if she was talking about some famous Florence scenic spot rather than a person.
“Does Miss Fluvia also like men like that?”
“Excellent people, whether male or female, are worthy of learning and admiration.”
With a sincere and lovely smile, the answer from the instinct of a girl was impeccable, and there wasn’t even an angle to be mischievous.
Loya suddenly felt regret.
How nice it would be if all the companions he met were pure and kind girls like Fluvia.
“Speaking of which, does Miss Fluvia know the identity of the other party in the marriage with the Holy Sword family?”
The priestess shook her head:
“I don’t know who exactly, but it seems to be the daughter of the Lewinseite family…
Sorry, Mr. Loya, I don’t have the habit of inquiring about these things, this is just what the butler who came to entrust me said.”
Loya smiled dumbly.
Don’t say it as if I have an interest in gossip——although he knew she was unintentional.
But in fact, there was no need to gossip, it was almost certain.
The Lewinseite daughter who was marrying the second young master of the Holy Sword family was none other than Kalandria.
He remembered Kalandria mentioning this in the impression that her original intention of leaving home to become an adventurer was to avoid the noble marriage arranged by the family.
And she did succeed.
In the previous cycles, the leader of “Swan Lake” led the team and became one of the top-ranked adventure teams in the theocracy and even the human kingdoms.
Sufficient power and fame allowed her to easily reject anything she didn’t want to do, and naturally, she didn’t mention anything about marriage contracts anymore.
As for what happened after that
Of course, without exception, it was the failure of salvation, the destruction of the sandbox-like world, and the game restart for the guinea pig.
Focusing on the present after different choices, Loya was quite surprised.
He didn’t expect that after he quit, the difficult Kalandria would easily agree to the noble marriage she had always resisted.
Judging from the situation, she probably already planned not to be active as an adventurer anymore, and “Swan Lake” would disband because of this.
Thinking of this, Loya felt that the words he said to his good student last night were quite insightful.
“By the way, since it’s the engagement ceremony of the Holy Sword family, then at that time…”
Loya only said half of what he wanted to say.
But even without saying everything, Fluvia knew what he wanted to ask.
“I should go, I think. Even though Young Master Mosoren is the younger brother, he’s the legitimate heir, so by noble custom, Professor Mogowana is expected to attend the ceremony.”
Loya was surprised for the second time today.
The half-brother was the legitimate son, which meant the dignified Knight King was, in fact, the Holy Sword family’s illegitimate daughter.
This was also something he had never heard of before.
Thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem like there was anything to be surprised about.
Mogowana’s strength could emit a brilliance that could cover everything.
Whether it was her background or her style of doing things that did not conform to the nobility, all the shortcomings in the eyes of the world paled under the blazing power like the scorching sun.
It was because he knew her strength that in Loya’s “target list,” the priority status of the “Divine Grace Blessing” held by the Knight King was infinitely elevated.
Looking at Loya’s thoughtful profile, Fluvia asked cautiously:
“Does Mr. Loya also want to go to the church to see it then?”
“Eh?”
“After all, it’s rare for Mogowana-sensei to attend the occasion, and everyone wants to see the daily demeanor of the Knight King.”
Fluvia tilted her head with a smile.
There was clearly only golden purity in her eyes, but for some reason, when she looked at him, he always had the illusion of being seen through and nowhere to hide.
Loya nodded truthfully:
“I guess so. Which adventurer doesn’t admire the strong?
It’s also like seeing a dream of their own that they can only hope for but cannot reach.”
Of course, the latter half of the sentence was an excuse.
In the previous cycles, he had been following the steps in an orderly manner,
first joining “Swan Lake” through Kalandria, then increasing the level of the team through adventures, and finally meeting the Knight King on the battlefield where they were summoned by the Church to cooperate with the national army.
As the steps became more and more familiar, the timeline might be advanced, but the path was basically the same.
However, this time, after leaving “Swan Lake,” Loya could only think of other ways to approach the Knight King.
Wasn’t the ready-made opportunity right in front of him?
With the invitation, he could enter the ceremony site of the engagement ceremony as a guest invited by the Lewinseite family.
It seemed that this engagement ceremony was really a must-go.
On the verge of cutting ties, Kalandria specially gave him the key connection tool.
Loya chuckled inwardly, rarely feeling grateful to that woman since this restart.
Just as he was getting a little distracted, Fluvia suddenly turned around and stopped:
“—You will, you definitely will!”
“Uh?”
The golden pupils full of sincerity were like encouragement and blessings:
“Mr. Loya’s dream will definitely come true. Whether it’s becoming stronger, or hoping to go further, and climb to higher peaks… I believe that Mr. Loya, who wholeheartedly follows the holy light, will eventually get what he wants.
“Just like the walker in the abyss, he will definitely clear the mist in front of him and reach the other side of redemption.”
“Thank you.”
Loya smiled as he came back to his senses.
It was hard to tell whether it was out of politeness or from the heart.
He could really feel the priestess’s good intentions, but Get what he wants, huh…
The darkness and cruelty in Loya’s eyes disappeared in an instant, as if his expression hadn’t changed.
“I want to believe Miss Fluvia’s words. I think, when all the obstacles on the road to achieving my goal disappear, there will definitely be that day, definitely.”
Having successfully delivered the blessings she wanted to express, the smile on Fluvia’s face became even brighter.
However, the priestess seemed to realize that she had just revealed her true feelings, and in a blink of an eye, she became uneasy and at a loss.
“Sorry, Mr. Loya, I said some strange things without permission… It’s very offensive, I’m very sorry!”
“No, on the contrary, Miss Fluvia knows how to make people cheer up… um, I feel much better now.
Let’s go, the market street is up ahead.”
Loya took a step forward, and the priestess followed side by side in her small leather shoes.
The two, who were in a good mood, did not notice that
Behind them, at a slightly greater distance, there was another pair of eyes closely following them——
“Ah~~Ah~~~Cunning obscene nun!
She’s actually selling cuteness and trying to be clever, tricking Teacher Loya into coming here!
She must want to make the teacher fall to the ground, so she can drag him back to be a star s*ave!”
The green and clear hunter’s eyes stared fiercely at the backs of the two,
The well-behaved and clever elf girl was so angry at this moment that her pointed ears were trembling non-stop.
