Chapter 13 : The Female Knight’s Mind Went Blank

Hall left.

Neither Christine nor Maria could sense a hint of disappointment from him.

However, Christine was still reeling from the experience of Hall telling her to spread her legs.

Maria, on the other hand, thought Hall must have taken the wrong medicine.

How could he be so calm?
It made her feel as if it was all an illusion.

“Hmph, it’s just as the rumors say. He probably gave up immediately when he realized he had no chance of making Lady Christine like him. After all, he doesn’t lack women.”

When Maria closed the door, she glanced outside and saw Hall’s back on the garden path, straight and his steps brisk, showing no sign of disappointment.

Coupled with the fact that Lov had straightened his clothes for him before he left, he indeed had the air of a noble young master.

He even looked handsome in her eyes, let alone to other girls.

“Hmph.”

The nun was indignant.
No wonder the rumors said Hall could easily toy with so many girls.

He had a prominent family background and was not bad looking.
For an ordinary girl, it would be easy to fall for him at first sight.

However, Lady Christine was someone who would dedicate the rest of her life to God and guide the world to the right path.

Forget it, what did it matter what he did?

Maria returned to the room and found Christine in deep thought.

Obviously, something that Lady Christine couldn’t understand must have just happened.

“Lady Christine, did Baron Hall do anything out of line just now?”

“No, he was more well-behaved than I imagined.”

“Is that so? But Lady Christine, you were just…”

Seeing Maria’s confused gaze, Christine didn’t answer immediately.

She coughed twice before saying.

“What do you think, Maria?”

Now Maria understood.
Lady Christine had her own profound meaning.

As soon as Hall came out of the Rohn Cathedral, he saw a familiar figure from a distance.

Silver form-fitting armor, golden hair slightly duller than Christine’s, and calves and long boots wrapped in white stockings.

Who else could it be but Himan?

What was she doing outside the Rohn Cathedral?

Just as he was about to sneak away from Himan, he was called out by her.

“Hey, Hall.”

“What is it?”

He had reason to suspect that Himan was here to wait for him.

But why wait for him?

“When you went to see Saintess Christine, did you pay attention to etiquette?”

Himan was half-dead with anger from Hall’s attitude after school, and she couldn’t even eat lunch.

But when it reached one-thirty in the afternoon, she thought about how Hall was going to see Christine at three.

This was actually very important for the Faxtius family.

Because the highest power in the Papal State was the Pope.
The old Pope had died twenty years ago, and a new one had not yet been elected.

And the Pope must be chosen from the seven Cardinal Archbishops.
Whoever was elected Pope, the Saintess candidate under that Cardinal Archbishop would become the Saintess.

In other words, whoever was the winner of next year’s Saintess election, their Cardinal Archbishop would likely become the Pope.

Christine was a very popular Saintess candidate.
If Christine was elected Saintess next year, Hall offending her now would be planting a landmine for the Faxtius family.

If he could leave a good impression on Christine…

Forget it, Himan didn’t expect him to leave a good impression on Christine.

Hearing Himan’s question, Hall only said one thing.

“Did you come to the Rohn Cathedral specifically to find me?”

As soon as he said this, Himan seemed to freeze.

She subconsciously felt that Hall’s words were strange, but she quickly said: “Otherwise, my father intends to be on good terms with Cardinal Rohn. If you make Christine unhappy, it will cause the Rohn faction to dislike my Von family. I hope you have this self-awareness.”

“Oh, so you’re afraid of implicating your family. Then you don’t have to worry.”

Hall shrugged and continued: “Since you think that Saintess is so broad-minded, she probably won’t hold a grudge against me.”

However, what he did today was indeed quite inappropriate, but what did Christine mean?

He still hadn’t figured it out.

“Do you mean… you really did something frivolous to Christine?”

“Not really.”

“What do you mean, not really? You either did it or you didn’t.”

Himan became emotional.
This cousin of hers was really not reassuring at all.

The matter of the female spy, and this time the invitation from the Saintess candidate.

Why did he always have an indifferent attitude?
Hall should also be educated when he goes home every day.
If someone else could replace her…

Now Himan paused.
She remembered her aunt, Hall’s biological mother, who had passed away early.

For Hall, his father who guarded the border rarely came home.
Hall should have been raised by his older sister.

But a few years ago, Hall’s older sister also joined a secret organization of the Papal State that only had a codename, and rarely came home.

“Think whatever you want. If nothing unexpected happens, Christine probably won’t look for me again.”

He wanted to say that it was Christine who made him do it, but that kind of thing was too explosive.
If he really said it, Christine might not just dislike him, but hate him.
If he was hated by a heroine.

It would be easy to die.

“?”

Himan was stunned, but she felt that Hall was being perfunctory, only saying half of what he meant.
What, was she supposed to guess?

She continued: “Explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won’t care about this matter anymore. Whether it’s the spy or the Saintess, if you make any big mistakes in the future that affect the reputation and prestige of the Faxtius family, or even…”

“Alright.”

“What did you say?”

“I said alright.”

Hall felt that it was better to clear things up with Himan sooner rather than later.
He just wanted to get out of Saint Louis and find a second-tier city to live a peaceful life in advance.

Of course, he wasn’t going to be completely lazy.

If he was completely lazy, a great war would break out between the East and West continents of this world in three years, and the demon kings would also act from their respective demon domains, causing countless casualties.

That date was also the deadline for triggering the Bad End in many heroine routes.

Once the player was too lazy or addicted to grinding side quests and insignificant achievements.

It would be easy to die.
That’s why there was still debate about the true ending of some of the plots in this game.

Hall didn’t care about true or false endings.
To survive in this chaotic world, he had to secretly be a grinder.

Fortunately, his talent was very good.
Theoretically, if he lived until then, he would usually be at least equivalent to the top combat power in a country in the story.

Either an excellent tool for the heroines, or a major dungeon boss for the heroines to face.

“You… Hall, before Aunt died, she said…”

Himan didn’t know why she had to care about this stubborn cousin of hers.
She had warned him countless times, even his mother…

Yes, perhaps it was because that very beautiful woman had gently caressed her, who was only nine years old at the time, before she died.

And told her to take good care of…

“Thank you for your concern, but I plan to leave Saint Louis.”

Hall interrupted Himan.
He didn’t want to bring up his deceased mother.

Hearing Hall’s words, the blonde female knight across from him showed a completely incomprehensible expression.

He was going to…

leave the imperial capital?

At that moment, her mind went completely blank.
