5. Trapped in the Great Temple of Sacrifice

Robert, who had thought he would be able to live a peaceful and warm life, suddenly watched his favorite being taken away by the soldiers sent by the king. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Anxious, Robert deliberately calmed himself down, and then he immediately instructed the butler Raphael to go outside the manor to find out the situation.

Robert, who was wandering in the study, waited for Raphael's return, and finally at dusk, he heard footsteps outside the study door.

"The host ......"

"Come on in!"

That's right, the butler Raphael returned, he pushed open the door, looked at Robert in anxiety, and hurriedly handed over the announcements that were plastered all over the city.

"Please take a look."

Taking the paper from Raphael's hand, Robert read it carefully.

……

"From what I know, the king is choosing beautiful women in every town in his country in the name of selecting the messenger of the goddess, so in this way, Cheris is not the only one."

"You mean, they weren't aiming for Cheris, so just find a beautiful woman to replace her."

"That's how it should be, master."

"Okay, can you find out where these women are now?"

"According to the inquirement, the two messengers of the goddess who have been selected from our town are temporarily imprisoned in the prison north of the town, and it is said that in two days they will most likely be taken to the temple of sacrifice near the castle of King Ken Meron."

"Are you sure she's in the Detention Facility now?"

"Yes, master."

"Well, I know what to do."

"But master, you want to disobey the king's orders?"

"Stand down and let me think quietly."

"Yes, master."

Raphael, the butler, was worried that his master, Robert, would disobey the king's orders on impulse, so he was ready to wait outside the door until his master took the first step out of the study, when he wanted to persuade his master again.

"Cheris~" Robert, who was standing at the window, clenched his fists, unable to stop thinking about her at all.

……

And at this moment, in a fast-paced carriage, the imprisoned Cheris was bent on breaking free from the rope that bound her wrists, but another beautiful girl beside her comforted her: "Sister~ You don't have to struggle anymore." ”

"Ah, why?"

"You see, the more you struggle, the tighter the rope that binds your wrists, and the injuries that take place on your tender wrists."

"But, I'm getting out of here!"

"We're here to be the messenger of the goddess, and when we get to the temple, we probably have a chance to get ahead."

"Get ahead?"

"Yes, although I don't know if I can be elected as the messenger of the goddess, even if I can't, I won't be a servant of the temple anymore."

"Are you hungry?" Cheris sympathized with the beautiful girl in front of her, and she still misunderstood the meaning of profound words.

Unlike her, the young girl had short curly tan hair, and in the dim light, her beautiful silhouette could still be seen.

"I'm not hungry, I just don't want to live the days of poverty and hunger again!"

"But, my Robert!"

"Robert?"

"Hmm~ Cheris loves Robert!"

"You already have a lover?"

"Robert~"

"Then you should die quickly, be a goddess messenger, you are a person of God, it is better for you to forget this Robert as soon as possible!"

"Robert~" She couldn't stay quietly in this bumpy carriage, and kept shouting Robert's name, hoping that Robert would come and take her back.

"It's almost there, you give me a little quiet!"

The soldier sitting next to the coachman shouted.

……

Robert, who was in the study, didn't want to waste any more time, so he hurriedly put the dry food in the cabinet into his carry-on backpack, put on his self-defense equipment, jumped out of the windowsill, and landed on the lawn.

Quietly entering the stable, Robert stroked the black horse's neck, then jumped up and rode on the horse's back.

"Driving~"

Receiving Robert's order, the black horse galloped out of the stable and rushed forward desperately.

In the prison outside the north of the city, the lights are bright.

The soldiers who guarded the prisoners were drinking and chatting, some were playing fists and gambling, and some were molesting the female prisoners......

Robert sneaks quietly into the careless confinement.

"Cheris?"

……

"Cheris!"

……

No matter how to call, Robert didn't wait for Cheris's answer.

In front of a cell, Robert continued to shout softly, "Cheris? ”

"Who?" A male prisoner who had not yet fallen asleep replied.

"Have you ever seen a beautiful woman?"

"Beautiful?"

"Well, she has long, curly blonde hair."

"Nope."

Disheartened, Robert sat down to take a break.

Suddenly, a weak voice came from the corner of the cell: "You are asking about the beautiful woman who has been chosen to be the messenger of the goddess?" ”

"Yes, that's her." Robert was ecstatic and traced to the cell and continued, "Do you know where she is being held?" ”

"This is a prison cell, and you think that the person who goes to be the messenger of the goddess will be locked up here?"

Robert, who suddenly came to his senses, felt that what the prisoner said made sense.

"So, may I ask ......?"

"Didn't you say that it was chosen to increase the number of people in the Great Temple?"

"Ah~ Thank you, I see."

With that, Robert dropped a little dry food as a token of appreciation and left.

At dawn, Robert continued to mount his horse and gallop on the way to King Ken Meron's castle.

……

King Ken Meron was eating his breakfast, and his cronies were eager to tell him the good news, and he leaned close to the king's ear and whispered, "She has arrived safely at the temple." ”

"Okay, okay, I see." The king nodded in satisfaction and took a sip of the wine in his glass.

"What's wrong?" The queen, who was sitting on the side, immediately asked.

"Ah~ nothing, Parker just told me that High Priest Ryan is looking for me, maybe something happened to him......"

"Then why don't you go quickly?"

"Then you use it slowly, my queen." The king put down the utensils in his hand and stood up from his seat.

Immediately, the king winked at his confidant Parker and left the dining room together.

"She's here?"

"Yes, King."

"Okay, very good, quick, take me to her!"

The king can't wait even a minute.

After two days and two nights of traveling, she was finally taken outside the Sacrificial Temple.

Cheris, who had not yet entered the temple, was suddenly shocked by the majesty of the building, although it was only a temple, its appearance was not inferior to that of any castle, with dense cylindrical pillars supporting the entire temple, and white statues of gods towering everywhere.

The servants who came out of the temple took them from the hands of the soldiers.

They were then independently assigned to each of the vaults in the temple.

After being sent into the chamber, they were untied.

Exhausted, they fell asleep not long after they entered the chamber.

Click~click~

The door to the secret room where Cheris was closed was opened.

"Wake up~ Wake up!"

Cheris, who had just fallen asleep, was immediately woken up by the divine servant in the white vest.

"The king wants to see you!"

Seeing that she was awake, the Divine Servant escorted her to the hall of the temple.

In the center of the temple hall is a rectangular pool, in the center of which sits a statue of a goddess holding a large vase, and the mouth of the vase is constantly flowing with clear spring water.

The king, who had come all the way from the castle, quickened his march and descended the staircase on the right side of the temple hall through a secret passage with a shortcut.

Cheris was so tired that she drooped her eyes when she saw the spring water flowing from the mouth of the bottle.

The king quietly approached her.

Even though she was tired at this time, her beauty was still not inferior.

The king was sure that the rumors were not false, and greedily admired her beauty.

"It really has an unforgettable face."

She shook her little head, but her eyelids still drooped back, she tried to hold on, trying to see the man in front of her, and in a trance, she finally fell to the ground in a daze.

"She is really more beautiful than a goddess~"

The king praised her as the princess picked her up.

Suddenly, the king, fearing that he would be discovered by the queen's spies, hurriedly called the high priest.

"Ryan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ryan, the high priest who had hurried over, replied.

"Quick, help me see if she's infected with the cold?"

High Priest Ryan roughly examined the woman in the king's arms and replied, "Your Majesty, she has just fainted from exhaustion. ”

"Oh, quick, help me find the best room in the temple so she can have a good rest!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The High Priest Ryan led the king through the garden of the temple to a quiet and bright room.

"How's it here? Your Majesty. ”

"Good."

"Then I step aside, Your Majesty."

With that, High Priest Ryan left the room with a lot of acquaintance.

The king slowly laid her down on the single bed covered with a white scarf, and then watched her quiet sleep intently.

From time to time, he sighed: This is really a rare beauty in the world.

The king worshipped her from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't immediately possess her, but he wanted the goddess in front of him to fall in love with himself as a king, so he didn't want to violate her until she woke up.

It seems that even Ken Myron, the king of this kingdom, wants to cherish her.

It wasn't until his confidant Parker came running to inform the king that the horse race was about to begin, and that the queen was already waiting, that the king reluctantly and quietly left.

The High Priest Ryan also entered the racecourse one after another.

……

Robert, who rode all the way down the temple road, did not stop for a moment, and sure enough, the exclusive black horse was very strong, and it was rare that it could still maintain a fast speed.

At noon, Robert arrived in the town where the kingdom was located.

Following the guidance of the townspeople, he finally saw the solemn and silent temple of sacrifice.

Outside the temple, Robert tethered the black horse to a secluded bush so that it could regain its strength and eat the fertile grass pile.

Immediately, Robert quickly sneaked into the temple.

What he didn't expect was that in this huge temple, in addition to the people everywhere and the doors that can be seen everywhere, there are also stairs everywhere, and secret rooms everywhere, where to start?

Robert, who was hiding in the corner, was helplessly preparing to capture the servant alive.

Finally, Robert caught a lonely servant cleaning the corridor.

"Who is it?!" The nervous maid shouted.

"Shh~" Robert covered the mouth of the goddess servant, and hurriedly reassured: "You, don't be nervous, I'm not a dangerous person, I'm just looking for someone." ”

At this time, Robert let go of the hand covering the mouth of the goddess's servant and continued to ask softly, "Have you ever seen a woman who was chosen to be the messenger of the goddess?" ”

"Among them, there is a person I love, she was also arrested, can she ......"

The goddess servant nodded, she could personally understand how anxious the panicked man in front of her was, because she had also had a love affair before she became a divine servant......

"Can you take me?"

"Yes, but each of them is locked up in a different secret room, do you know which one is her?"

“……”

"Okay, I'd better take you there first." The goddess servant led the infatuated man to a corner of the temple.

"Right here, all the chosen messengers of the goddess are imprisoned in the secret room here."

"Okay, thank you!"

Then the maid looked left and right for a moment, and then left.

Robert quietly looked inside and out of the door of the chamber, and in each chamber was a beautiful woman, but it wasn't his Cheris.

The lost Robert, after an unsuccessful search, sat down in a hidden corner with his head down.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

The sound of hurried footsteps slowly approached Robert, who got up and picked up his pocket knife as he half-crouched down.

Will Robert, who is desperate to find Cheris, be able to find her? Will they be able to save her from the depths of her misery?
