"If the Inquisitor promised to allow us to meet with the Sun Pope, then the Holy Kingdom has most likely already conveyed this news to His Majesty the Emperor. That's why His Majesty wrote such a letter."

"So fast? From where we defeated the monster to the Holy Kingdom, there's still a long way to go..."

"Perhaps some special method was used. For example, among the top magics there is space movement magic, and among the sacred spells there is also--"

"Your guess is correct."

Suddenly, the third person's voice came from nowhere, interrupting everyone's discussion. It was an unfamiliar voice.

Everyone reacted quickly. The Knights drew their weapons and aimed at the source of the sound. The maids immediately closed in, surrounding Aurora with their bodies.

When Lin Yinxi reacted and began to move his body to take action, the Knights Generals had already prepared for battle.

"Who are you? This is Lord Aurora's private residence. If you don't reveal your true identity immediately, we will treat you as an enemy!"

In front of the huge glass window in the living room, a woman suddenly stood there. She was wearing a silver and gray robe that covered her true face.

Beneath the loose robe, the curves of the charming body are clearly visible.

"Please put down your weapons. I am not an enemy."

"That depends on your performance. To cut a long story short, show your face! Whether it's a conversation or something else, it's all after that!"

"...as you wish."

A pair of hands, wearing leather gloves and revealing slender, delicate fingers, reached out towards the robe that covered her face. The robe gently slipped away, accompanied by the rustling sound of hair rubbing against the robe, and the thick gray ponytail hidden in the robe poured out from behind.

The woman's violet eyes sparkled in the chandelier's light. Her jewel-like purple eyes slowly scanned the knights confronting her.

They didn't sense any hostility from that gaze.

"My name is Selene."

The woman spoke expressionlessly.

"My identity is the Inquisitor directly under the Moon Pope."

088. From today on, I will protect you closely~

"...Inquisitor? To the Moon Pope?"

"Yes."

Perhaps it was because the gray-haired woman standing in front of the window had frankly revealed her true identity as an Inquisitor to everyone, the murderous aura emanating from the Knights Generals had eased slightly.

The Inquisitors of the Sun Pope and the Moon Pope.

There is only one letter difference between the two, so many players in the game have confused the difference between the two, but in fact they are completely different organizations.

In the game, the Battle Sisters of the Inquisition are clad in heavy armor and wield maces and huge shields as weapons.

The Battle Sisters of the Inquisitor, on the other hand, wore pitch-black robes, their faces hidden in darkness. They wielded only a rapier as a weapon, lacking any other equipment. The difference between the two was stark.

But both have one thing in common, that is, their reputation spreads throughout the entire continent. In many ways, they enjoy a high reputation on the continent and are known to everyone.

The Inquisitor and the Battle Sisters under his command are known as the strongest military group in the Holy Kingdom, while the Inquisitor and the Battle Sisters under his command are known as the strongest assassination group in the Holy Kingdom.

There were rumors that the two groups once worked together to completely clear out a noble territory with ties to demons overnight.

Therefore, even the knight commanders who were dragged by the former lord to this remote and outlying territory of the empire had heard of their reputation.

However, even though the gray-haired woman in front of them revealed her true identity in front of the Knights, they still did not completely let down their guard and remained vigilant.

The attitude just changed from "kill her immediately" to "listen to what she has to say and then make plans."

Everyone's blades were still pointed at the gray-haired woman in front of them.

Alice, in particular, did not let her guard down. After all, she had just heard from others about their previous speechless experience.

The heretic inquisitor of the Sun Pope arbitrarily called Lin Yinxi a heretic and even verified his purity by taking off his clothes and touching his chest.

"What does the Holy Kingdom's Inquisitor want to do here?"

"Just now you said yourself that the Holy Kingdom should have established some kind of contact with your Emperor. Don't you have any guesses?"

"......So you are the so-called means of communication!"

"Your guess is quite correct."

The woman who called herself Selene gently raised her hands above her head, indicating that she had no intention of fighting.

"As I said before, I'm not here to fight. Please put down your weapons. I'm not the enemy. Thank you."

“That’s not something we decide.”

"Yes. This is not something the Knight Commanders can decide. It is for me to decide."

Aurora walked out from behind the crowd. Erica and Claudia tried to stop her, saying, "It's dangerous to get close, please be careful," but Aurora simply waved her hand, dispelling their concerns with a gesture.

"So, you were the one who told His Majesty the Emperor that we should go to the Holy Kingdom to meet the Pope, right?"

"I simply conveyed the Pope's words, Lord Aurora. Do you think I have the power to make your Emperor change his mind?"

"Well, Auntie isn't that type of person. So what's the reason?"

"what reason?"

"After you met my aunt, you told her that Lin Yinxi would be going to the Holy Kingdom. However, even if you didn't do that, we can still travel between the two countries as we please, just like traveling.

Besides, the relationship between the Eternal Empire and the Holy Kingdom of Raphael isn't dangerous, so you wouldn't even be responsible for delivering this kind of news, right? This isn't necessary, so why do this?"

"No. It's necessary."

"So I ask you, what is the reason? Do you really have to make me repeat the same question?"

"This is to prevent a conflict between your Emperor and His Majesty the Sun Pope."

When everyone heard the shocking answer, "To prevent conflict between His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope," Aurora took a deep breath, as if she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and was speechless for a moment.

The other knight leaders behaved in the same way.

Not to mention Lin Yinxi who was just standing by and watching.

Only the maids serving nearby had the same expressions as usual. It wasn't clear whether they were simply indifferent, or if they were surprised but didn't show it in order to maintain their composure and composure as maids.

They still didn't realize the importance of that sentence, only they themselves knew it.

"......Okay, the conversation that follows is something only we can discuss. Everyone knows that, right?"

After subtly expressing his wish for the outsiders to leave, the maids, skilled at reading their masters' expressions and understanding their inner thoughts, lowered their heads and quietly walked out of the living room.

Click, the last maid who went out closed the door.

After confirming that all the maids had left, Aurora touched her forehead and sighed.

"Could you elaborate a little more? Why is there a conflict? About His Holiness the Pope and my aunt?"

"Don't you know?"

Selene asked calmly, then answered Aurora's question calmly.

"The Emperor cares about that man more than you think. Therefore, in order to prevent the Emperor from having the illusion that His Holiness wants to take that man away, it is necessary to inform her of our purpose in advance, lest she think that we have taken this man away by force. That is why I came here."

Although Selene spoke calmly, the impact of her response was immense. Lin Yinxi froze in shock.

'What did I just hear?'

The emperor cares about me?

Even the simple act of going to the Holy Kingdom to meet with the Pope would make her extremely wary. It even reached the point where someone at the level of an Inquisitor would personally intervene and say, "The Holy Kingdom has no such intentions."

No... My only real memory of interacting with that emperor was when I dealt with the previous overlord. I blocked one of her attacks according to the game's plot. Why was that?

From the moment he received the letter with the emperor's seal, Lin Yinxi felt that the incident was a little unusual, but when he learned from Selene that the emperor cared about him more than he had imagined, he got goosebumps and felt hairy all over.

Headache.

He had never heard of the emperor showing such concern for the protagonist from the very beginning. Thinking about the main plot that would unfold in the future, he felt at a loss.

Perhaps the others shared the same sentiment, for apart from Selene, the person who had spoken, everyone else showed a look of surprise. Liz's condition was particularly serious.

"Now that I've revealed my reason for being here, can you please put away your weapons?"

"......Everyone, put down your weapons."

Aurora bit her lip and said this. The Knights slowly put away their weapons.

"It's clear for now. We'll discuss this issue later."

Although they said they would discuss it later, no matter how Aurora ignored this issue temporarily, everyone had no choice but to accept it calmly.

If the emperor was interested in Lin Yinxi, who could stop him?

"Since you're here to deliver a message to His Majesty the Emperor, why did you come to us? Are you just passing through?"

"Of course not. I'm here to escort you to the Holy Kingdom on orders from the Moon Pope."

"Guard? Not surveillance?"

"It's pure protection. The Sun and Moon's territories do not invade each other. Since the Sun has received you, the Moon will definitely not interfere with you."

"Non-aggression? Absolutely no interference?"

Aurora scoffed.

"The fact that you're here contradicts that. Since it was the Sun Pope who invited us, why didn't the Inquisitor come here, but you, the Inquisitor? Aren't the two Popes' territories in mutual non-intrusion?"

"This contact was made on the orders of the Moon Pope. Even if you asked me, I wouldn't know anything. But I have no doubt that they all have their meaning."

"Ha. In the end, he politely said he didn't want to tell me."

Aurora seemed very dissatisfied with her answer and was full of sarcasm. Selene was very calm about her ridicule and just smiled it off.

"Strictly speaking, this has nothing to do with my will, and the end result is the same. You can think whatever you want."

"Okay, okay. I'll take that as something you don't want to talk about."

Huh, Aurora sighed.

"So when do they leave? I don't know if you know, but they just returned from defeating a monster less than an hour ago. Anyway, there's no departure date mentioned in Aunt's letter, so I want them to rest for at least two days. Or maybe even longer."

"You can set out whenever you wish, but I suggest that you rest within three days. Your emperor is a man of little patience."

This sentence is very true.

Since the Emperor had personally ordered them to go to the Holy Kingdom, they couldn't linger here for too long. They needed to rest for two days at most, and then they had to set off immediately.

Selene was well aware of this fact, so in response to Aurora's somewhat forceful request, she continued calmly, "If something goes wrong, it could take several months."

"Also, all Knight Commanders must accompany you to the Holy Kingdom."

"why?"

This time, it was Alice's turn to step forward. Although her weapon was lowered, her silver eyes were still filled with vigilance.

"This is the advice given by the Moon Pope. I don't know the reason."

"No. One of us must stay behind to protect the lord."

"don’t worry."

Suddenly, Selene's eyes flickered briefly. Then, shadows began to appear in every corner of the living room and reception room, gradually transforming into human shapes.

Lin Yinxi was startled, but the other knight commanders remained very calm.

In this way, the rising shadows slowly transformed into perfect human forms. They were all women, with black veils on their heads.

In a sense, their dress is both conservative and libertine.

If the combat sisters under the Inquisitor wore clothes that exposed more parts of their bodies than covered them, then the combat sisters under the Inquisitor were wrapped up tightly and had very little exposure.

But what wrapped her body tightly was a translucent black tights.

The tights fit tightly on the body, as if the whole person is vacuum-packed, outlining the perfect body curves.

It sticks so tightly to the skin, I really don’t know how they put it on.

The clothes were not made of a smooth latex-like material, but a translucent, hazy material that made the skin underneath completely visible. Even the tight abdomen and belly button were clearly visible.

If it weren't for the sudden stiffening of the chest, one could even clearly see the chest. However, this sudden stiffening seemed not to cover the chest, but to emphasize it.

Luckily, the outline of her underwear was visible from her lower body. If that wasn't there, the cleavage of her private parts would have been visible.
