Volume 4, Chapter 34 – Falco’s Arrival and the Invitation to Dance

Facts proved that aside from her fighting abilities, the evil god miss was indeed somewhat unreliable.

It was one thing to be eager to deal with Vonro who tried to threaten her using her daughter.

But before dealing with him, the evil god miss hadn’t made the twins leave first.

Although the twins had turned around and covered their ears, Bai Lianyue hadn’t noticed that there was a mirror on the bookshelf behind her.

Indeed, Bai Lianyue had told them to close their eyes.

But the twins, curious about what Mommy would do, hadn’t obediently listened. Instead, they secretly opened their eyes to peek at the mirror. After all, they rarely listened obediently anyway.

Thus, the entire process of Vonro being dealt with was, unsurprisingly, witnessed by the twins.

Compared to two years ago, the current twins were no longer the cute little lolis in Bai Lianyue’s impression who didn’t understand anything. Over these two years, the twins had grown considerably and learned much, especially many common-sense matters.

Therefore, the children clearly understood… Mommy, as a Divine-Graced Maiden, shouldn’t be releasing black liquid condensed from curse power.

Additionally, based on the news reports they’d seen, various videos, and Grandpa Naro’s descriptions… the current Mommy seemed very different from the previous Mommy.

After realizing this, the twins couldn’t help but tightly grasp each other’s small hands, watching the blue-haired girl before them with complicated feelings.

The doubts in their hearts grew even thicker.

However, regarding her daughters’ somewhat abnormal expressions, the thick-nerved Miss Bai Lianyue still had no reaction, continuing to carefreely enjoy the various pastries laid out on the table.

—”Hehe~, delicious~, come Miya, Weiya! Mommy will feed you yummy food!”—

Meanwhile, inside the banquet hall.

Rеaԁ on КatRеαԁіոɡСafе

Unlike most people gathered in the center of the banquet hall dancing, and the dignitaries around Ailiya, a certain brown-haired, blue-eyed girl was silently standing on the second floor of the banquet hall, leisurely leaning against the railing.

While sipping champagne, she thoughtfully observed the scene below.

The girl’s name was ‘Tilisa’, one of the Executioners under Isabelle.

She was also the Paradise Manor representative who had accompanied the Divine Kingdom delegation to the Westivian Covenant this time.

Although Tilisa was watching the scene below, her attention wasn’t on Ailiya but focused on the door of the nearby rest room.

Though unable to sense what exactly had happened inside the rest room, as the communication signal with Vonro was completely cut off, Tilisa guessed the outcome.

“The internal affairs officer is dead.”

The girl’s words were quite calm, as if she had anticipated this.

Strictly speaking, Vonro’s confidence in threatening the Lingyuan family came partly from believing he had leverage over them, and partly from Paradise Manor’s support.

By threatening the Lingyuan family’s business interests and forcing them to agree to an engagement between Miya and Vonro’s son to provoke Lianna and observe her reaction… this was Tilisa’s purpose.

So to speak, Vonro was just cannon fodder she had temporarily recruited.

However, although he was cannon fodder, Tilisa clearly knew that Vonro’s strength wasn’t weak.

To silently eliminate Vonro without alerting so many Divine Departure Realm experts outside… the perpetrator’s strength was definitely extraordinary.

—”Lianna indeed has problems.”—

This woman in the wheelchair was definitely not as frail and helpless as she appeared on the surface.

Licking her lips, Tilisa smiled with amusement.

Lianna, who should have gone mad, had returned with a drastically changed personality…

When Lianna returned, the Terran Malevolence was eliminated…

When the Abyssal Lord’s avatar was repelled, Lianna disappeared…

After the Celestial Blight was repelled, Lianna disappeared due to illness…

Additionally, after Lianna’s recent reappearance, the Terrabond Lineage, which had been silent for over two years, suddenly began moving again. The other two lineages were also stirring.

Could it be such a coincidence?

For a moment, a bold hypothesis emerged in Tilisa’s mind.

How about I have my brother test her out?

Thinking this, Tilisa raised the corners of her mouth with amusement.

However, just as this Paradise Manor Executioner was about to give orders to her brother, her movements came to an abrupt halt, and her gaze shifted from the rest room to the distant entrance.

—”Oh? Really knows how to time an entrance.”—

Meanwhile, in the center of the venue.

“Truly worthy of being Lord Luo Fei and Lady Lianna’s daughter. Miss Ailiya, your future is limitless. Perhaps you really have a chance to reach Divine Graced Realm. When that time comes, don’t forget this old fool.”

The gray-haired man laughed heartily.

“You’re too kind, Senior Shawn Ge.”

Ailiya smiled and politely replied.

“No, no, no, I’m not joking.”

Staring at the heroic silver-haired girl before him, Shawn Ge shook his head in denial.

The descendant of those two lords, and a Divine-Graced Maiden who could manipulate Sacred Stones… perhaps she really could break through to the legendary Divine Graced Realm and completely end the threat of evil gods.

For some reason, Shawn Ge felt an inexplicable confidence welling up in his heart.

“The student surpasses the master—I believe you can do it, Miss Ailiya.”

“Then I’ll take your good wishes, Senior… hm?”

Just as Ailiya was communicating with several senior Celestial Augur Knights, an unusual aura quietly entered Ailiya’s perception range, causing the girl to turn slightly and look toward the main entrance of the venue. Shawn Ge and others beside her did the same.

The next moment, under everyone’s serious gaze, the main entrance quietly opened. Surrounded by three white-robed guards and several attendants, a man with flowing white hair wearing a gold-trimmed gray-white clerical robe walked into the banquet hall with steady steps.

A sacred purifying aura spread out, giving everyone’s hearts a wonderful sense of healing in that instant.

Upon seeing the three-star emblem of the Divine Faith on the white robes and the white-haired man’s face, many nearby guests shifted from initial surprise to subsequent respect and reverence.

“Greetings, Lord Cleric.” xN

That’s right. The cleric now appearing in the banquet hall was none other than the young master of the Valen family, Falco-Valen.

As the divine representative in the mortal world, in Falco’s eyes, he himself was the most noble person in this country at this moment.

As the most noble person, naturally he needed to make the final entrance. This way he could attract the most attention.

However, upon entering the venue and sensing everyone’s auras, an imperceptible trace of disgust flashed through this great cleric’s eyes.

The aura of mortals… truly unpleasant.

Of course, as an actor who performed before believers daily, Falco naturally habitually concealed his disgust, even pretending to be friendly as he waved to the distinguished guests around him.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

His voice was full of guilt, as if he were truly apologizing.

Facing this polite young cleric, a certain noble lady, after bowing, couldn’t help but mutter curiously to herself:

—”Wasn’t it said that His Holiness the Pope would personally come for this investiture ceremony? How is it Lord Falco instead?… Isn’t that lord supposed to be guarding the great cathedral?”—

“The Maretide Kingdom has been under continuous attacks from the Vassals of Sea in recent days. His Holiness the Pope personally led the Argent Cruciform legion to the Maretide Kingdom to fight the Vassals of Sea and pray for the people there, so he temporarily cannot come here. However, I, Falco, will temporarily serve as envoy, representing the Divine Kingdom in participating in this investiture ceremony.”

Looking at the muttering noble lady, Falco explained quite considerately.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and showed expressions of understanding.

As the object of attention, Falco didn’t continue paying attention to the surrounding guests, but walked directly toward the center of the hall, toward Ailiya.

Soon, this heir to the Divine Faith Pope arrived before Ailiya.

Under everyone’s surprised gazes, Falco didn’t beat around the bush but went straight to the point, extending his hand in an invitation gesture to Ailiya.

“Beautiful Miss Ailiya, might I have the honor of inviting you to dance?”
