Chapter 151: She Will Definitely Be His

Himan’s question really stumped Hall.

But he quickly connected it to Christine saying she had argued with Himan that night.

But Christine…

It was hard to imagine that Christine, who was always so composed and never spoke of the past in the plot, would expose the information that she and Christine had known each other as children because of an argument with Himan.

This Saintess was very good at hiding things in the anti-church route.

What’s more, was Christine that bored?

Bored enough to tell Himan these things just because of a small matter?

The information that he had taken her and Mandosha Flower away from the orphanage was incredibly crucial.

“You really knew each other?”

The white-stockinged knight did not answer immediately.

And asked with an uncertain tone.

“We did.”

“When did you meet?”

“The first time we went to West Town.”

He said truthfully.

“So you didn’t chase after me that day because of Christine?”

Himan once again thought of what had happened that day.

He should have been buying a cake for her, but Hall had been looking at the two beautiful little girls on the side of the road while buying the cake.

Why was she angry? Wasn’t it because Hall was looking at Christine at that time…

Now she was getting angry again.

Although Hall was not being seduced by the vampires now, but was in control of them, thinking of this past event from more than ten years ago.

She was even angrier than about the vampire matter.

She had always felt that the childhood Hall belonged entirely to her.

In this aspect, her possessiveness, which she herself was not aware of, was very strong.

Just as Christine had said, it was she who had lost Hall in these three years.

Now she wanted to find some way to repair her broken relationship with Hall.

But if the childhood Hall did not belong to her…

“It’s not entirely because of Christine.”

Hall’s words were not false.

He was also for Mandosha Flower.

“Then for what?”

“I don’t know. It was more than ten years ago. I don’t remember it very well.”

“You remember.”

“I definitely don’t remember. I really don’t remember it very clearly. I only recently found out that I knew Saintess Candidate Christine when I was a child. Otherwise, I would have been entangled with her when she had just become a Saintess Candidate.”

Hall tried to use this to convince Himan.

Himan thought for a moment and felt it was right.

“The first time she specifically sought you out to talk was to reminisce with you.”

“No, we only remembered the past after we met again in West Town. I was so busy as a child, besides spending time with you, I was almost always training outside.”

Hall quickly denied it.

“Is that so? Then why does she look so familiar with you?”

“She’s a Saintess Candidate. Of course her affinity is very strong. She gets along with everyone.”

He continued to distance himself.

Himan looked half-convinced, half-doubtful.

Then she asked him again.

“Who was the most important to you as a child?”

“There’s no need to think about that, is there?”

“You tell me.”

Himan held on tightly.

Anyway, she just wanted to hear an answer from Hall’s mouth.

And that answer must be…

“You are the most important.”

“Oh.”

Hearing her half-convinced “oh,” Hall’s expression did not change.

He didn’t care.

Before he had gone to find Christine and Mandosha Flower, of course Himan was the most important.

There was no definition of how old he was as a child.

It couldn’t be said that he had lied to Himan.

“You remember this. Don’t get too entangled with Christine. She is a Saintess Candidate, and recently the wind in Saint Louis has been turning towards her. If you get entangled with her, she won’t be able to be a Saintess. Even if you’re not held accountable, your career will be greatly affected.”

Himan instructed.

“I have a sense of propriety.”

“It’s best if you do.”

She said with a pout.

Then the two of them sat silently in the depths of the green belt of the White Knights headquarters.

At this moment, the sky in Saint Louis was a bit gloomy, and a light rain gradually began to fall.

Hall looked at Himan, who had a drop of water at the corner of her eye, and said.

“Let’s go back. I have to prepare for the trip to Cateline during this period.”

“Yes, I’m also going to Cateline.”

“…”

Hall was a little speechless at Himan’s follow-up words.

He was silent for a moment and then said, “There aren’t that many spots.”

“The White Knights might have one too.”

“Why are you going? School is about to start. Aren’t you going to study for two degrees? Although you can get credits for the swordsmanship academy’s degree through attendance, the theology academy…”

“Why can’t I go?”

She interrupted him.

Her tone was a little irritable.

“You can go. I’m just worried about your studies, aren’t I?”

Actually, Hall was more worried that something strange would happen again.

Going to Cateline would surely mean facing Sophia.

If it were just him alone, that would be best.

“You don’t have to worry. Although my theological talent is not as good as yours, if it’s just to pursue a degree, it doesn’t require that high of an attainment. It’s enough to pass the final exams.”

Himan sensed that Hall was a little unwilling to let her follow and tried to control her tone.

“Alright then.”

Seeing that he couldn’t stop her, he didn’t say much more.

At that time, he could just use the excuse of completing the mission to the Black Knights’ branch to leave.

Then he stood up from the long bench, planning to leave along the path he had come from.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Himan also stood up from the long bench.

She followed for two steps, and then stopped in the light rain.

“Hall.”

“What is it now? You’re very hesitant today, Himan. It doesn’t look like you. If you have something to say, just ask.”

He looked back at her.

Because she was wearing a thin white shirt, it looked a little transparent after being wet by the rain.

The plaid skirt and the over-the-knee white stockings clung to her legs.

Himan’s figure was tall among women, and it wasn’t that her breasts were small.

They were a little bigger than the relatively petite girls like Lorraine and Christine, and Lov, who had not developed well as a child.

As for Leticia, because she was always wearing a complicated rose-colored dress with ruffles, her figure was not very visible.

Although she was not very tall, her peaches were quite large.

“Yes, you didn’t lie to me, did you, Hall? About what happened today…”

She hesitated for a moment, and then asked after tucking her hair back.

“I didn’t lie to you.”

He answered in the light rain.

Hall was walking in the rain of Saint Louis.

Because Himan had made up her mind to go to the Kingdom of Cateline, she had not left the Black Knights.

Instead, she had stated her thoughts to Vice-Captain Lucy.

They had not gone together.

Saint Louis in February was a bit cold on a rainy day.

He had no intention of going back to the Faxtius estate, but just planned to find a coffee shop and have a cup of hot coffee and sit alone.

And think about what had happened since this morning.

Julia had joined the Black Knights and had gotten a sword with a demonic aura.

The cardinals had urgently called Istar to a meeting, and at the same time, Christine had also been taken away by Malik.

It was hard not to connect the dots.

But as he was walking.

A figure with an umbrella came from the other end of the misty street.

Although he couldn’t see the face clearly, he could be sure who the other party was.

“My dear Young Master Hall, you have so many lovers in Saint Louis. Why are you all alone this morning?”

“I’ve dealt with some things. Why are you out on the street?”

Of course, it was Mandosha Flower.

She was wearing a black veil and a black gauze hooded nun’s habit like in ancient times.

In the current Saint Louis, it was very conspicuous.

“The weather is good today, so I thought I’d go for a walk. But I still have to go back to the underground street later.”

Actually, it was because Mandosha Flower knew that the cardinals had gone to an emergency meeting, and the plainclothes officers who could threaten her were also not on the street.

And those outsourced, non-official Judgment Bureau personnel, if they didn’t witness a public order incident and heard words against the church’s violence or the demon race, they would basically just be slacking off.

With a salary of less than one gold coin a month, what was the point of risking their lives?

“Oh, then let’s go to a coffee shop and sit. I’ll treat you to a coffee.”

“No, I like to drink milk tea.”

“Strawberry flavored?”

“Plain is fine. Strawberry is too sweet, suitable for younger people.”

“Oh.”

Hall knew that the “younger people” she was referring to was naturally Christine.

So he said no more and just took Mandosha Flower to a nearby coffee shop.

“The last time Young Master Hall treated me to milk tea was the last time.”

…

“Can’t you be a little more normal? By the way, after Ancestor died, didn’t the Salvation Church hold you responsible?”

Hall watched as Mandosha Flower lifted a corner of her veil.

He could observe the other party’s elegant and delicate chin, which was like Christine’s.

However, her lip color was healthier than Christine’s, which was almost transparent and pale.

Her skin was also not the weak, holy-light-shrouded white of Christine.

“They did hold me responsible. They were in a hurry to have me bring Christine back. But when I thought that you, Young Master Hall, couldn’t lose Christine, I went against the crowd and left her at the church. How about it? Our sisters have paid a lot for you, haven’t they?”

When Mandosha Flower spoke, she liked to tease, just like Christine.

It was unknown if Christine had learned from her, or if she had learned from Christine.

Or if the same personality was inherited in the two sisters’ bloodline.

“Find a chance to bring her back. But you said last time that she wouldn’t agree, so I won’t force it. So what are you looking for me for?”

Hall knew that Mandosha Flower would not appear in front of him for no reason.

“Ah, I’m so beautiful. Can’t I just get a free cup of milk tea from Young Master Hall?”

“You… do you usually have cabbages and carrots in your pocket?”

“You, big brother Hall, do you have cabbages and carrots in your pocket?”

“No, it’s my private savings. It was given to me by big brother Hall and Israel. Understand?”

“Mm…”

“Mm…”

“Alright.”

Mandosha Flower suddenly put down her milk tea and stared at the young man’s eyes from under her veil.

“Huh?”

He thought she was joking.

“I really want to curse you. Young Master Hall, let me curse you.”

“Whatever you want. I don’t care.”

Hall just said, “Do you want me to get you another cup?”

“Can’t you be a little more serious, Young Master Hall?”

“I also hope you can be a little more serious.”

“I said I’m going to curse you. You don’t care. How can I start? I’m like a clown.”

“Oh, alright. I’ll be more serious. So what on earth do you want to say?”

Mandosha Flower said angrily, tapping the table with the bottom of her cup.

“Did you go to Sunset City?”

“…”

“…”

“I told you not to go to Sunset City. Why didn’t you listen?”

“…”

“…”

“I told you not to go to Sunset City, and you still went. If I had known…”

“If you had known what?”

“You’re focusing on the wrong thing.”

Seeing that Hall was only interested in what she had known, Mandosha Flower slammed the table with the bottom of her cup again.

“No, I just wanted to say that I did go to Sunset City, but nothing happened. Everything was normal. I came back with Leticia later.”

“Nothing happened?”

Mandosha Flower felt that she could have believed Hall’s nonsense when she was one or two years old and couldn’t read.

She could also have fooled her, who couldn’t even speak clearly.

“I just happened to save the elf princess Sula when I was saving Leticia.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s it, nothing more.”

Hall said with certainty.

“I don’t believe you.”

“I can’t help it if you don’t believe me. I suggest you install a monitor on me.”

“Hehe.”

Mandosha Flower, who was sitting opposite, gave a cold laugh and then poked him with her finger.

“There was nothing.”

“You’re lying, Young Master Hall.”

“There’s nothing. What could there be?”

“Since you won’t admit it, then you’re not allowed to drink coffee.”

“Then you can pour it out.”

He decided to let her be.

Mainly because he couldn’t beat Mandosha Flower.

A cup of coffee was also very cheap for him.

“I’ll drink it myself. My heart is bitter.”

Because this shop was not high-end and used cylindrical paper cups, she took the coffee cup in front of Hall and sucked it hard with a straw.

She sucked for half a day with a “slurp, slurp” sound.

Hall also did not speak.

He was afraid that Mandosha Flower would realize that he had also drunk from this straw mouth-to-mouth.

So he just sat there and watched, planning to get through it.

“Why aren’t you talking?”

“There’s nothing to say.”

“About me drinking your coffee?”

“What’s there to say?”

Hall continued to pretend he didn’t know.

But Mandosha Flower suddenly remembered something.

“You seem to have drunk directly from the straw.”

“Mm…”

“Young Master Hall, you are a stinking girl.”

Her sudden statement with a wronged tone made him pause.

“?”

“You actually let me drink the coffee you’ve drunk from. Isn’t that an indirect kiss?”

“Didn’t you want to drink it yourself?”

“I was so angry at that time, I didn’t remember this at all. But you not only didn’t remind me, you even watched me finish it. Just like what Christine said, boo hoo hoo, Young Master Hall’s liquid is already in my body. I’m no longer clean.”

Hall was numb.

Mandosha Flower’s statement was a treasure.

He was really numb.

What the hell?

“I’m going to tell Christine.”

“You’d better not.”

He remembered that Christine had specifically instructed him a while ago that the indenture contract was only signed by him and her.

There was no such thing with Mandosha Flower.

Coupled with some of her own Christine’s tragic passive.

It was very terrifying to think about.

“Why not? I’m her older sister. There shouldn’t be any secrets between us.”

“Why do you have to tell her this kind of thing?”

“I won’t. I will say.”

Mandosha Flower’s tone was full of girlishness and a hint of cuteness.

It even made Hall feel a hint of guilt.

“You haven’t really had any contact with her yet, have you? Her memory is not complete. Maybe…”

Hall quickly thought of a way to shut Mandosha Flower up.

“Then what should Young Master Hall do?”

“What do you mean, what should I do? Am I supposed to be responsible for this small matter?”

He was righteous.

He couldn’t be teased by her.

“Big scumbag, you’re not responsible, are you?”

“The people of Saint Louis all know I’m a scumbag. Oh no, the people of the Papal State all know.”

“Hmph, if you’re not responsible for me, then be responsible for Christine.”

“I’ve already tried my best to ensure her safety. You don’t have to say more.”

Hall finally understood her intention.

It was all about Christine.

But Mandosha Flower was also dazed for half a day before she said.

“She’s going to the Cateline Kingdom soon.”

“I’ll be there too. Besides, her trip to the Cateline Kingdom should just be a normal missionary trip to canvass for votes for the future Saintess election, right?”

“Mm, you pay attention. Pay attention to Sophia.”

“Oh?”

Hearing the three words “Sophia,” Hall’s eyes narrowed.

It seemed Mandosha Flower knew the situation in the Cateline Kingdom.

But what on earth was with Elizabeth?

He didn’t know.

Sophia also hadn’t told him in detail.

“Remember, you can’t let Sophia and Christine be alone. When they are alone, you must be there. Do you understand?”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t need to know.”

She was being a riddle-master again.

“Sophia and Christine have been alone before, but nothing happened. Their relationship is clearly very good.”

“Ah, yes, yes, yes. It was good before, but that doesn’t mean it will be good when they meet again. It wouldn’t be good if the two of them got jealous and fought over you, Young Master Hall.”

“It’s not that serious. With Sophia’s character, even if she really likes me, she won’t make a move on a girl who has no power to truss a chicken.”

This was a core character setting in the game.

Sophia had the blood of the Winter Saintess.

As the monarch of Cateline, she might be a bit childish and lacking, but she would always carry out her justice and fairness from beginning to end.

“Oh, by the way. You said before that Christine’s second feather is in the Cateline Kingdom. Should I help her collect it?”

“If it is fate, then the feather will surely return. I am very happy that Young Master Hall is so concerned about my little sister, but there is no need to deliberately interfere, unless… someone tries to snatch it like in West Town.”

Mandosha Flower’s tone gradually became cold and sharp, no longer having the girlishness of her teasing just now, “Of course, it still depends on your own judgment, Young Master Hall.”

“Oh, then I’ll protect her this time, and we’ll be even for what happened just now.”

“Hehe, it’s a bargain for Young Master Hall. To have such a pure girl lick a certain part of your head with her little tongue, which is stained with the smell and liquid of you, this scumbag.”

“Come on, let’s be more open. You’re not a Saintess.”

“Sigh, just because I’m not a Saintess, does that mean I should be treated so casually by Young Master Hall? I’m angry. Bye bye bye bye.”

Before Hall could say anything, Mandosha Flower ran out of the coffee shop and disappeared into the rain at the corner of the street.

But she hadn’t taken her umbrella.

She had left it for him.

…

At the same time.

The College of Cardinals.

In a building that was even more solemn and suffocating than a courthouse.

Because the lights were not on, only a few rays of dim light entered the dark environment through the windows.

Twelve people were divided into two groups, with six on each side, sitting at the highest point.

Their gazes were all fixed on the image device that a few white-robed magicians were tinkering with on the platform below.

And the previous image, which was like a painting from hell, had been witnessed by these twelve people.

Besides Leticia, whose expression kept changing.

The other eleven did not show any abnormality at all.

Istar, who was sitting beside Leticia, would often stroke Leticia’s back to calm her panic.

Soon, the image froze at the moment when the Demon God’s Spring went berserk and the flood-like magic impact made the screen flicker like snowflakes.

Then, the sound of a bell ringing was suddenly heard.

In the end, an old man spoke.

“I think you all have seen this image. This is the image of Her Majesty of Cateline’s battle on the seventieth floor of the underground labyrinth a while ago. But her strength is very different from that of Elizabeth Cateline, who was able to lead an army to quell the northern rebellion and fight against the Demon Lord’s retainers at the age of fourteen…”

The old man paused and said, “She is not Elizabeth Cateline at all.”

“So we have reason to suspect that the current monarch of the Cateline Kingdom is a puppet supported by Marshal Zhukov. We will launch an investigation next. If necessary, we will judge and purge the guilty in the name of the Lord. Then…”

“Please vote, Your Eminences.”
