As a gathering place for the privileged in the continent, the three academies always have a high influx of people.

Thanks to this, the post town on the way to the Golden Triangle are always full of bustle and life.

Even the luxury accommodation where the Holy Land's Saintess stay wasn't free from the surrounding noise.

"..."

The Saintess, Lucien, rose from the bed with an exhale.

Her two-tone hair, a mix of gold and white, slid smoothly over her pristine white robe.

As she breathed out, a cloud of cigarette smoke rose into the air.

A Saintess and a cigarette. It was a bizarre combination that would make a devout believer's eyes roll. But she didn't seem to care and even took out a new one.

"Could you please close the window?"

"Eung? Ah, was I interrupting?"

The 'boy' who was sitting near the window turned his head towards her in response.

It was a young man in his late teens, clad in full body armor.

"I'm sorry. I was just watching the people This city is lively, it feels good."

"The sound is fine, but the light is annoying."

"Do the modern-day Saintesses find the light bothersome?"

"Just a personal habit. I've spent most of my life in a dark chapel."

"Don't suddenly delve into such dark topics. You're making me want to hit you."

"...You are, in name, my escort knight. Please choose your words."

It was a very disrespectful tone for speaking to the continent's Saintess, but Lucien showed no particular reaction other than that.

Because considering this man's personality, he would not do such a thing even if he died and came back to life.

"You're not even afraid anymore. You were so nervous when we first met."

"I would rather believe that the Emperor is a saintly man than you hitting women, Varkasus."

The boy chuckled as he closed the window.

"I must say, we have become too close."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, a bit much for a devil worshiper and a Saintess, no?"

Lucien raised her head and looked at the other person.

"..."

As soon as she did, she felt a suffocating pressure enveloping her entire body, causing her to grit her teeth.

Since the window had just been closed, blocking the only light source, she couldn't make out the boy's expression as it's dark.

However, his distorted 'form' was clearly evident.

Incomprehensible, repulsive, disgusting, terrible.

While it may be invisible in the light, but the moment darkness falls, the boy would reveal his 'true nature'.

An indescribably distorted, eon-old monster.

Even she, who has one of the most sacred powers in the church, can barely maintain her composure when facing this grotesque existence, let alone subdue it.

"...Don't worry."

She smiled wryly at the sight.

"You guys might be better than the human holding my leash."
