Chapter 58: Eve Arrives

Inside Room 309 of the Whisper Dormitory, Alexia’s room was surprisingly simple.

A bed, a dressing table, a wardrobe, countless books—and nothing else.

It didn’t look like the room of such a beautiful noble lady at all.

On the dressing table sat a decorative box, with only a few accessories neatly arranged inside.

In the wardrobe, aside from a spare school uniform, there was only a single, extremely gorgeous princess dress hanging deep inside, lonely as if it had been forgotten.

“Miss Yiluo…”

Alexia sat in front of the dressing table, her hands cupping her cheeks.

Her stunning face should have looked pure and holy, yet now it was flushed red, and the obsession in her pale golden eyes had twisted into something almost distorted.

“Sigh… this isn’t good…”

Noticing her own expression in the mirror, Alexia froze for a moment.

Then she rubbed her face with both hands, forcing that sickly expression back to normal.

“This… is better.”

In the mirror, Alexia returned to a pure and innocent look.

Her delicate beauty carried an undeniable sense of holiness, completely different from before.

She smiled faintly, like a blooming lily—pure and untouched.

Her smile could stir ripples in anyone’s heart, yet leave no desire to taint it.

It was a kind of magic—one that inspired devotion and unconditional faith.

Alexia picked up the worn book on her table, Secret History of the Church, already flipped to a familiar page.

Snap—

The moment she saw the illustration, her heart began to race violently, as if it would burst out of her chest.

Her expression twisted again into something unhealthy, forcing her to shut the book immediately as her breathing grew uneven.

“No… I can’t keep looking… I need to go buy blood desserts…”

“The Eastern Continent… the Eastern Continent…”

“A trip… with Miss Yiluo…”

Muttering to herself, Alexia opened a drawer filled with gold coins.

She casually grabbed a handful and headed out the door.

“Luckily… the money I borrowed from Sister Sevia has arrived…”

.

.

After a week of clear skies, Chaldea City was now covered by a thin layer of dark clouds.

Even in the best hours of the morning, the atmosphere felt gloomy.

There were fewer people on the streets than usual, and most pedestrians walked hurriedly, their cheerfulness dampened by the weather.

But none of this affected Alexia’s good mood.

“Uncle Sheep, ten portions of Snow Lingling cakes and Red Amber, and some blood desserts that can last long—something suitable for travel~♪”

“Miss Alexia seems very happy today. Just wait—I’ll add some special seasoning. They’ll last half a month without any problem.”

“Boys! Big order—get to work!”

The goat-headed shop owner raised his black hoof in a reassuring gesture, then turned and shouted toward the kitchen.

Hearing this, Alexia’s smile grew even brighter.

She reached out and high-fived the goat-man’s hoof.

“Thank you, Uncle Sheep, you’re really adorable!”

The goat-man froze, then corrected seriously,

“The adorable one is Miss Alexia. As for me, ‘delicious’ would be more appropriate.”

“Sit and wait. Have a blood drink—it’ll be ready soon.”

“Hehe, thank you, Uncle Sheep.”

Just thinking about traveling with Miss Yiluo made Alexia too excited to sit still.

“But you can’t be eaten, so how can you be called delicious?”

“But I wonder… what your blood would taste like~”

“For a blood dessert shop owner, ‘delicious’ is the highest praise.”

The goat-man spoke mysteriously as he watched Alexia blink in thought.

“My blood is excellent—but not for sale.”

Alexia picked up the blood drink from the counter, took a sip, and smiled just as brightly.

“That’s a shame then, hehe.”

“A shame indeed.”

The goat-man sighed lightly before continuing,

“But we release new premium blood desserts every month. Miss Alexia is always welcome.”

“I’ll definitely come!”

After chatting for a while, Alexia finally left the Lankaka Blood Dessert Shop once her order was ready.

“Time to go home—to see Miss Yiluo.”

She was in high spirits.

Just as she was about to head back, she spotted a familiar figure.

A girl wearing a beige European-style dress, a silver sword at her waist, her hair tied in a single ponytail.

Her beautiful face carried a hint of sharpness, making her stand out in the crowd.

Alexia paused for a moment.

At the same time, the girl noticed her too, their eyes meeting before she began walking toward her.

The person who arrived—

Was none other than Eve, the Sword Saintess, who had just reached Chaldea City.

“Saint—”

As Eve approached and began to speak, Alexia interrupted her.

“Sister Eve, this is Chaldea City. I’m just an ordinary student here—just call me by my name.”

Alexia blinked innocently, her tone carrying a hint of shyness.

Eve was briefly stunned, then smiled.

“As expected of Miss Alexia. Hiding your identity to be more approachable—I understand. In Chaldea City, I will treat you as an ordinary person.”

Alexia stuck out her tongue playfully.

“Hehe, thank you, Sister Eve.”

Her behavior made Eve want to pat her head, but remembering their difference in status, she restrained herself.

“Sister Eve, why did you come to Chaldea City? Are you here to study too?”

Hearing this, Eve stepped slightly closer and whispered into Alexia’s ear.

“By divine order, the Witch of Evil is in Chaldea City. I have been sent to eliminate her.”

“Miss, be careful. Have you seen the Witch of Evil?”

Alexia thought for a moment, murmuring softly,

“The Witch of Evil… the Witch of Evil…”

After a brief pause, a faint, unreadable glint passed through her eyes.

She smiled gently.

“I haven’t seen her… the Witch of Evil… no.”

Eve trusted Alexia completely.

She nodded and continued,

“Then have there been any abnormalities in Chaldea City? People suddenly disappearing or dying?”

“The Witch of Evil is best at disguise. You must be careful.”

As she spoke, Eve reached out to help carry the two large bags Alexia was holding.

But the moment she took them, she caught a strange scent and frowned slightly.

“What is this?”

“Other than the bad weather today, there’s nothing unusual at all.”

Alexia seemed completely unconcerned by Eve’s words.

Instead, she smiled brightly and said,

“They’re blood desserts—really delicious. You should try some too, Eve!”

Eve’s expression changed.

Her gaze swept over Alexia, and her face gradually turned serious.
