Loud clanging and crashing noises rudely awakened me immediately after my consciousness returned. I immediately sprang up from the floor and looked around.
"..."
A young girl in a maid outfit stood by the door, and she was staring at me with a terrified expression on her face.
"Err, hello?" I waved a little at her, trying to diffuse the tension brought about by our sudden meeting. However...
"Kyaaa! There's a boy inside Her Holiness' room! Heeeeeeellllllpppppp!" That scream rang out well and echoed throughout the entire place.
"Wait—please calm down!" Frantic, I looked back at the bed of the silver-haired saint, hoping that she'd be awake and would solve this awkward situation.
"..."
But man, this girl can sleep like a rock! I mean, that scream by the maid almost tore my eardrums apart, yet the Saint kept on sleeping as if nothing happened.
The maid pulled a wand from her uniform then pointed it at me, "Stay where you are, pervert, or Eris will incinerate you! Don't you know it's a crime to enter Her Holiness' quarters without her permission?"
"Oh, is it?" Shit. Looks like I'm in for some deep trouble...
"Well, not yet." caught off-guard by what I said, the maid lowered her wand a little as she pondered, "But Eris thinks the council of the human kings will issue a decree about trespassing in Her Holiness' room! ANYWAY! The 'incinerate' part of Eris' threat is real, so don't you move a muscle!"
"Err...I, uh, will you please hear me out first?" I kneeled before her, clasping my hands, "I've done nothing wrong with that sleeping girl, I swear. If you'll look at it, she's the one at fault for bringing me here!"
"HA?" the maid became even scarier, "Did Eris hear what you just said?"
"Well, duh...isn't it obvious? We're less than a few meters away from each other."
"Oh right. Sorry, Eris got carried away. Haha..." the maid composed herself before shouting, "BLASPHEMY! You just said blasphemy toward the holy saint! You're blaming her for your sins! Unacceptable!" Her shrill voice was enough for me to wince and cover my ears; I looked back at Saint Maddie, hoping that she's up by now...
"..."
Yep, she's still soundly sleeping. What the freaking hell?
"Good lord, my trouble keeps on increasing..." Panicking, I was thinking about the various legal cases I might end up with at Chersea's justice court—if there's any, that is. "Even blaming the Saint is a crime here?"
"Not yet as well. But Eris thinks it will be, soon."
"What made you say that?"
"Eris just thinks so."
God, I'm trapped in a world full of weirdos.
----------
"Kyaaaaaaaahaha!"
The entire place shook by the simultaneous explosions here and there, courtesy of the assorted magic spells being thrown at me by the infuriated servants of Her Holiness. Naturally, I ran for my life.
And yes, that girly scream came from me just now.
The Saint's maids could use magic, and they could do it with deadly precision. The thirst for blood was clear in their eyes, and their desire to obliterate me was clear.
