Chapter 40: Your Rights
"Oracle?"
It wasn't until morning meal time that Robin learned that the girl he had met in the back garden early in the morning was an oracle of Itnell.
That is, the owner of the temple -
γCalista Pendragonγ
He was almost surprised enough to slash his finger.
And his elbow almost slammed over the milk tea cup in his hand.
Fortunately, Kaye helped him catch it in time, so it didn't cause too much embarrassment and gaffe.
But......
Robin cut the hard bread from the silver plate as he looked out of the corner of his eye at the lady sitting across the long table.
With a calm face, the oracle gracefully sipped the milk tea from the golden teacup, then set it aside and gently picked up the knife and fork.
Judging from her appearance and figure, she is just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, right?
If anyone else changes, they will not associate the girl in front of him with the owner of the temple.
Because of what King Olivia said before that he was brought up by the divine envoy, Robin felt that this divine envoy should be seventy or eighty years old, to say the least.
Gray hair, wrinkled, rickets, sickly......
These are Robin's previous imaginations about the oracle.
And the supreme master of the image of the girl in front of him obviously does not meet these characteristics.
Oh, except for a head of silver hair.
Moreover, Robin could also see that the silver was long hair with a noble luster, like the image of a woman in his dreams.
It is not the age pale that appears after the pigmentation has degraded due to old age.
However, when he remembered Viven, he suddenly felt a little relieved.
If memory serves, when he raised the Hammer of Thunder and smashed through Viven's flowing cloak, she did reveal a young, tight face.
That scene Robin will never forget for the rest of his life.
In the same way, I'm afraid he won't forget what happened this morningβ
The young angel lay in the crook of his arm......
Robin shook his head, dispelling some unclean thoughts.
If the angels themselves had any special abilities, eternal youth seemed to be a common thing for people like them.
His mind flashed to the scene of the oracle making the flowers bloom......
Robin wasn't quite sure if it was magic or what, or if it meant that when he became an oracle, he would inherit that youthful ability......
Robin lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea, then licked his lips with his tongue.
His gaze fell on Calista's wheelchair.
It was then that he suddenly understood why the stairs on both sides had to be filled with a gentle ramp and a continuous handrail grip.
It's all for the sake of this oracle.
However, he didn't know if Calista was born with a disability or if he was forced to sit in a wheelchair for some reason.
"Brother, you're so, you always stare at people's lower bodies." Rowling's excited voice was heard next to her, which was carefully suppressed.
"Hey. Isn't it as good as you think? β
β¦β¦
At the long dining table, six people eat quietly.
Robin, Rowling, Kaye, Calista, Arce.
And Annie.
The dutiful temple steward, the former chief priest, sat down on the left hand of the oracle after preparing the utensils and food for everyone and pouring them full of milk tea.
There doesn't seem to be much difference in the status of master and servant.
Robin wasn't sure if it was because she had served as the chief priest or if there was no clear line between the upper and lower levels.
He remembered what he had seen last night, when Luba raised his arrow and shot it at Arce.
It's also unclear whether it's because there is no identity difference, or because the relationship is too intimate.
It stands to reason that Arce's status should be high.
Luba's behavior towards her was clearly an act of usurpation.
β¦β¦
Robin shook his head and didn't pursue further.
He enjoyed his breakfast for the day in peace.
In addition to the fact that the bread is a little harder and the milk tea is too sweet, it can be said to be delicious.
The hall was empty.
Only the intermittent sound of knives and forks and dinner plates clashing.
The number of people in the temple was surprisingly small.
From last night to now, Robin hasn't met a few people.
The palace and the dense rooms were empty.
Inevitably, there is some suspicion of waste.
Perhaps it is the people who can appear in the temple and sit here to eat have important or special status.
It can only be explained in this way.
Arce was reinstated this morningβ
She had always served as the personal guard of the oracle before, and she never left an inch.
And a few of them, because there has been no clearer arrangement until now.
Kaye and Rowling are just guests.
And he, Robin, as the Chosen One, doesn't know what to do in the future.
β¦β¦
"You should feel lucky." The divine envoy swallowed a piece of bread, then took a sip of milk tea, lowered his eyes, and spoke lightly.
Robin looked up and looked at each other suspiciously.
"This morning, Big Arce came to change the defence." Calista calmly and gracefully slipped the bread from her plate, without raising her head, so much so that Robin wondered if she was talking to herself.
"Otherwise, with your reckless behavior, you should be dismantled by little Arce, right?"
"......" Robin has a black line.
But he immediately understood what Calista meant.
In any case, the person in front of him, who looked more girlish than a girl, was the owner of the temple, and it was impossible not to have half a guard around.
Running over like Robin recklessly, ...... Pick her up......
If someone else outside of the Great Arse didn't know Robin's identity, they would definitely think that he posed a threat to the oracle.
It seems that it is already relatively light.
In this way, he really escaped the catastrophe......
"But it's not a bad way to meet." Calista finished her food, licked her fingers clean, and laughed softly.
A smile is enough to melt the world.
But with an indescribable coldness.
Robin couldn't help but froze for a second.
"At least." Calista lifted her gaze and smiled sweetly in her silver eyes, "Impressive, Robin." β
"......" Robin didn't know what to say other than an embarrassed but polite smile.
"So, what exactly happened this morning?" Anne looked at them curiously.
It's like the head of a family asking about naughty children.
God laughs and does not speak.
Robin didn't dare to speak.
So Anne turned her gaze to Arce.
At least the dutiful guard should know something.
After all, she was guarding Calista.
Arce changed into a clean white robe and sat quietly on the right hand of the oracle, bowing his head and eating his food, without saying a word.
Her stringless bow stood beside her chair, and the dagger on her thigh poked out half of her head, glittering.
Perhaps she was sitting on the roof of the temple watching the beautiful scenery of the sunrise in the distance.
Maybe she caught a glimpse of everything when Robin picked up Calista.
But, perhaps, Arce thought it was the perfect opportunity.
Her face was calm, unwavering, and as calm as ever.
From beginning to end, Rowling didn't understand what they were saying, but looking at their expressions, she only felt a little exciting.
"Nothing." Calista put down the milk tea cup in her hand and wiped the white stained white at the corner of her mouth with a white silk napkin.
"I had a good meeting with Robin, I want to ......"
She looked at Robin with a smile, "This will set us up for a good start to the future." β
"Ahem......" Robin choked on the milk tea and coughed violently.
In Rowling's sight, the automatic brain made up the picture.
"Brother, an unknown white liquid is flowing from the corner of your mouth."
"...... "If it weren't for someone here, Robin would have pressed this guy to the ground and beat him up."
"Well, I'll go to the living room first," Callista slid out of the dining room, turning her wheelchair, "and we'll talk about our future when you're done eating." β
"Okay. The Divine Messenger is Your Excellency. β
Only Robin's empty voice sounded in the room.
Arce remained silent from beginning to end, appearing extremely calm.
Anne frowned, didn't speak, just calmly ate the contents of her plate.
As Robin looked inquiringly at the blonde squire, Kaye.
She just shrugged her shoulders and said she didn't know anything.
Rowling forked a fried sausage with a fork and fed it to the shiny at her feet.
The latter immediately stood up happily, grabbed Rowling's calf, and then took a bite of the fried sausage into his mouth.
This dogleg......
Robin's brow twitched fiercely.
But then again......
Isn't this guy a lot older than when we first met?
Robin remembered what Gale had told him beforeβ
Elven wolves are the mage's best companions.
And it evolves a very special ability.
I don't know when Flashwhite will evolve.
He couldn't help but look forward to it.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After breakfast, the well-behaved Rowling, despite the language barrier, still helped Anne clean up the plate.
Then, after doing all this, the group went to the living room, as Calista had said.
The living room of the temple is solemn, with some leather sofas and furniture.
The greenery of the tree of life is interspersed all around, as if you are sitting in a room made of a patchwork of gardens and churches.
Except for Calista, the others sat on the couch at Anne's arrangement.
The white upholstery sofa, filled with a lot of fine leather and wool, was basically sent by a famous furniture merchant underneath.
It is said to be for the worship of the Divine Society.
There are also some from local shrines.
"Your name is Robin?"
Calista sat in a wheelchair with her hands folded above her knees and looked sideways at him.
"Yes." Robin nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, not half timid.
"What's the last name?"
Robin opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain the Chinese surname to her.
Robin, Robin, sounds like just a given name without a surname to Westerners.
But Ro, Bin, in the East this is the surname plus the first name.
"It's all right......" Calista smiled sideways, like moonlight on her face, she blinked calmly and looked at Robin with a hint of tenderness, "I was an orphan without a name when I came here. β
"You're so much luckier than I am, at least you have a name."
Robin was stunned for a moment, but there was nothing to say.
Although she had mentioned her life experience by chance just now, she couldn't see Gu Ying's self-pity in the eyes of this divine envoy.
She just stated a fact plainly.
Understate what you think.
"It seems that this is the Itnell tradition." Calista laughed, "My ex, her name comes from her previous oracle, and then my ex, [Sheila Pendragon], gave me that name. β
Her gaze looked serenely at Robin, "Well, now it's us." β
"You will be my successor in the future, so to some extent, our relationship should be similar to that of a mother and a child."
Mother and child ......
Robin looked at her and always felt a sense of disobedience.
The angel looked younger than he was.
"You will have the same surname as me from now on." Calista laughed, "Boy, come here." β
At the same time, Arce and Anne also set their sights on Robin.
It's as if you're observing an unusually sacred ritual.
Robin didn't understand what that meant, and just took a few steps forward obediently, crouching down to Calista's feet.
She smells good.
Calista motioned for him to lower her head and stroked the back of his head with her right hand.
It's like a knight being baptized.
"After that there will be a formal ceremony. Although this ritual is a little brief, it is also effective enough in the presence of the people of the temple, the tree of life, and the gods. β
Calista's tone was solemn and serious, like a goddess on high.
Even if she's in a wheelchair.
Robin also felt a powerful force from above.
"Robin, I give you the surname on behalf of the gods, as the gods have given me, and from now on you will be my heir, taking care of the tree of life for me after my death, serving the gods, and spreading the will of the gods and the love of the world throughout the kingdom."
Calista laughed reverently, "My child, from now on, you are Robin Pendragon." β
Mommy.
This surname.
Isn't it really King Arthur that the author stole lazily?
Robin looked up as she finished speaking.
"Good." Calista helped him up and looked up at Robin's face, "From now on, you will be the future master of the temple." β
β¦β¦
If Jessie had told him before, what was the danger and situation facing the Chosen One.
Rosa Lind had told him what the responsibilities and obligations of the Chosen One were.
So, today, the day after arriving at the temple.
Calista, what he was told was what the power of the Chosen One was.
"The whole temple, except for Grand Arce, you can send anyone you want," Callista slid forward as she turned her wheelchair with her hands.
The crowd followed in her footsteps and slowly came to the outside of the temple.
"As long as it's not too excessive, I usually won't ask you about it."
Not too much......
The corners of Robin's mouth twitched, this statement was a bit demonic.
To put it nicely, he can do anything, even if it's a robbery.
It's not nice to say, he can't do anything.
Everything has to be overdone, where are the boundaries.
"If you want Arce to do something, you'll have to know me, because I need her all the time." As she spoke, Calista's gaze fell on her legs.
Robin probably understood what she meant.
Because of his limited mobility and his own safety, he needed Arce's help.
In a way, the Divine Envoy has almost completely delegated authority to him.
That's great, isn't it?
"But, while sending them, I want you to do a little." Calista paused and turned her wheelchair toward Robin, "If you do something outside of your duties, please compensate them accordingly." β
What does that mean......
Robin stood for two seconds.
"Every life is extremely precious, and no one is born to serve another person and make sacrifices." "If you want someone else to give and sacrifice for you, then you have to pay for it. In other words, even if it's the chosen one, or me, I have to pay accordingly. β
Ay?
Robin's heart pounded.
What she just saidβ
Why is it so unlike the power holder he imagined.
It is also incredible that such words come from the mouth of the theocratic supreme man of a feudal society!
This is almost a translation of the word for equality of all beings.
"Over the next month, you'll learn about the entire temple, and you'll also know exactly what the temple staff do and how much they are paid."
"So how do I judge, if they are allowed to carry out a request that is beyond the scope of their duties. How much should I give them, and what form should I use? Robin asked, confused.
Maybe the job and the monthly salary of each person are specific and fixed.
But the boundaries beyond the duty of the oracle are still blurred.
Calista turned and glanced at him, "That's your business with them." β
ββ¦β¦β
"As long as you both agree and are satisfied, I don't think there's a problem." Calista said lightly.
ββ¦β¦β
Oh my God, is this the legendary py?
But how does this vague recompensatory relationship continue to this day?
Robin complained silently in his heart.
And is this rule a temple tradition, or was it invented by Calista herself?
Unknown.
Robin shook his head silently in his heart.
"Lord Robin."
Anne stepped forward, grabbed the back of the wheelchair with both hands, and smiled softly at Robin.
"If you have anything, just tell me what you want. As long as your request is just and kind, we are willing to serve you. β
"Ann ......," Calista looked up at Anne resentfully like a coquettish little girl, and she lowered her voice and whispered, "Why don't you see if this Chosen One has a bad heart, why did you remind him so early?" β
ββ¦β¦β
I'm sorry, but I heard everything you just said.
Robin's head is full of black lines.
β¦β¦
"And then, as I just said, is the power within the confines of the temple. As for beyond the temple......" Calista dragged out the end for a long time, soothing Robin's curiosity.
Regarding the power of theocracy, Robin had tested it twice before.
As for the power of the Chosen One over the kingdom, he had not imagined it until now.
"Itnell, plus Haoyue City, is divided into eight territories, except for Haoyue City, which is directly under the king's control, the others are under the hands of the seven archdukes.
Each grand duke has a big god meeting, and then the small territory below will have a local god meeting.
In the whole country, there are 327 large and small god associations.
We will decide the chief priest of each great god council through local selection and temple meetings, and then they will each choose the next level of priest, and so on. β
"Huh? Isn't it directly appointed? Robin looked at Calista quizzically, "I mean, like a king appointing an archduke." β
"Hehe......" Calista laughed contemptuously, "you're thinking too simply. Even the Grand Duke is not appointed by a king. β
At this point, she added, "Maybe that's how it was at first." At the time of the founding of the country, the first Grand Duke of Itnair was appointed by the king. However, time changes everything. And it will continue to do everything.
Those people will not easily spit out the benefits of their mouths, and when they have territory, the family will become more important than loyalty to the king. β
"I'm sorry. Far from it. Calista smiled slightly, "However, it can be compared to the fact that the chief priests of the major god societies have learned this from the lords.
Although nominally, the temple has the power of appointment and dismissal, and I also have the discretion to remove and appoint the priests of any local shrine.
But we can't.
Or rather, the situation doesn't necessarily support us to do this. β
"Why?" Robin didn't quite understand what this was like, "If the Grand Dukes are because of their own control and influence over the place......"
When he said this, he suddenly understood something.
The Grand Duke escaped from the king's control because they had long enough time to run the domain and make the loyalty of the people of the realm become them.
The king's arms could not be stretched that long.
Then, when the power is stabilized, continuation becomes an inevitable demand.
So is this also the case with the chief priest of the Great God Society?
"Sixty-six years ago, I dismissed the Lord of St. Berta because I learned that she was secretly selling the fruit of life." Calista recalled the history, her eyes darkened, "Then I transferred one of my most trusted priests to the position of Santa Berta. β
With that, the oracle looked up and glanced at Anne standing behind her.
Robin felt something strange in their eyes, but he didn't understand what it was.
"And then?"
Robin was curious to see how it turned out.
Rosalind had told him once that the gods would collude with the lord to sell the fruit of life, but it was a different feeling to say it from the mouth of the oracle.
"The result...... Not long after she arrived, about a month and three days, she was sent to court. Then after the verdict was pronounced, Camilla was hanged. β
This result was something that Robin didn't expect.
"Guess what's the charge?" Calista grinned, looking sideways at Robin.
"I don't know."
Instead of guessing, Robin should answer honestly, although he already had a vague hunch that it was not a good crime.
"The crime is to sell the fruit of life."
"Ah......?" This was not Robin's expectation.
"But you obviously sent her because of the previous ...... Is it because it has been corrupted? Or was it framed? Robin suddenly felt that the water was a little deep, as she had described.
"I don't know." Calista shook her head and laughed sarcastically, "So far, I haven't been able to learn the truth. My dearest Camilla, whether she betrayed me or was framed by someone else. In short, she was quickly caught and hanged.
The stolen goods were taken together, and the judgment was a vote of the people. β
"Consular vote?" Robin's eyes dilated slightly, and he couldn't imagine how the verdict unfolded.
"St. Beta, 120,000 people voted, and Archduke Hunt seemed to want to clear his own cleanliness, so he adopted the fairest verdict in the Haoyue Code. To be precise, 124581 people voted, from the Grand Duke to the peasants. β
Calista talked about this past, and there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes.
"Then 124,580 people found Camilla guilty." Calista laughed playfully, "The only abstention, upon later investigation, found out that it was Hunter's referendum." β
Calista let out a cold snort.
"How ironic."
yes, how ironic.
But, Robin thought to himself, the more he took himself off, the more problematic it became.
"I'm not a compromising person, and I don't believe that my own vision can be wrong, I believe in Camilla's person, she has a sincere heart and a holy soul." Calista continued, "In the more than fifty years since then, I have sent more than thirty different local priests, and the craziest one was the exchange of the four Grand Dukes. β
"The result?" Robin stared into her eyes.
Those silver pupils are like the moon in the sky.
It's just covered in dust just now.
"As a result," said Callista, taking a deep breath and with a hint ......of sorrow, "half of those who were condemned, and the remaining half, became my mortal enemies." β
"How can this be ......"
Robin's eyes were clouded with a layer of fog, if the previous Camilla was framed, then the fall of so many people behind can't be said......
Is it really the answer to that sentence?
Does the environment corrupt people?
"After ascertaining my intentions, the local magistrates, twelve years ago, took advantage of King Olivia's legal reform to raise the law of theocracy to the Temple.
One of the most important provisions is that the presiding priest of the Great Territory may nominate candidates through the Council of the Temple, and then the participating priests will vote together to decide on the candidate.
My right to appoint and dismiss has long been confined to the Imperial City, which is less than a hundred miles. β
It was at this moment that Robin suddenly felt that Jiexi had missed a little bit before.
His potential enemies are not only the Grand Dukes, but also the Divine Society itself.
To be precise, it's the local gods.
"Okay, that's our power." Calista laughed happily and swept the gloom from her face, "Of course, if you want, the doglegs of the local gods will give you all you want, luxury carriages, velvet mattresses, gold carpets, fox fur coats, and they will be eager to deliver them to you if you want." β
Calista winked her eyes at Robin, revealing a sly smile that didn't match her appearance.
"It's your power, too."
Calista said word for word.
Every word struck Robin's heart hard.
He walked over gently, took the wheelchair handle from Anne's hand, and smiled with relief.
"I'll think about it." Robin whispered.
Calista covered her mouth and smiled.
β¦β¦
"About your future arrangements." Calista turned around and looked at the men Robin had brought with her.
The tall blonde warrior she had heard of was said to be on par with Grand Arce, and should make a very useful temple warrior.
And the other one is said to be Robin's own sister.
It's not so easy for them to deal with.
"What's her name?" Calista's gaze fell on Kaye's.
And the latter did not dodge, but met her gaze straight.
The two seem to have never met, but they are somewhat familiar with each other.
Calista had a wonderful delusion, as if she had seen such a face somewhere, or had heard of it somewhere......
"My name is Kaye." Kaye replied in Normeric lingua franca, with a slight Sycorid accent that sounded a little different from Robin's standard Normerian language.
The well-informed Calista could certainly hear this.
The Sykerides speak with a straight tongue and lack of variety, and when they talk to each other, they sound more like they are arguing, and the Sykerides are obviously much more irritable.
If it weren't for the fact that they absorbed the advanced experience of Iternaire and LΓ³pez in the bloody war three hundred years ago, I am afraid that the current Sekorid is still a collection of barbarians.
However, even now, the introduction of lords and knights by Sekorid has not made them more civilized.
The Presbyterians still hold the authority of the state, the consuls are not interested in the lives of others, and the slave trade and gladiatorial arenas are still in full swing......
On the contrary, the knightly honors and various titles that were introduced became a nondescript existence.
Upon seeing Kaye, Calista could tell from her eyes that it was someone from Sekorid.
There was fire in her eyes.
In her soul lives wild beasts.
"So, you're from Sekorid?" Calista looked at her quizzically, "But I remember that the people of Sekoridan compared the country to life, why did you ......"
"Because he saved my life." Kaye cut her off and looked at Robin, a sincere smile on his face, "He gave me a new lease of life. The people of Sekoridan cannot fail to repay the favor. β
There was a ripple in Robin's eyes, but it fell again in an instant.
Kaye used a very clever sentence, she didn't lie, Robin did save her life, to be precise, gave her a new life.
Robin closed his eyes slightly, and the words that Kaye had said at that time came to his mind-
[The Warden of Sykorid, who died more than a hundred years ago.] γ
Kaye Flynn, who is now in front of you, is a reborn. My life was earned by you, and I must repay you. γ
Voice recalled.
The details are vivid.
As in front of you.
β¦β¦
Yes.
Calista remembered another phrase from the people of Sekoridβ
The Grace of Spilled Blood.
Death in return.
She groaned for a moment, then laughed in relief.
"Kaye, you have a good name that reminds me of the Warden of Sekorid, more than a hundred years ago."
When she said this, Robin behind her had an indescribably complicated expression on his face.
"We also have a child named Gail," Callista folded her hands on her knees and her eyes softly looked at Kaye, "she aspires to be a hero like Gael, the Commoner Knight King." So, I also hope that you can become a hero like Kaye the Watcher. β
Robin struggled to hold back the smile that had stuck in his throat.
This provoked a slightly angry look from Anne.
"Then, I'll arrange a selection for you to be a godwing guard later......"
"No," Kaye cut off her words loudly.
Calista was slightly stunned.
Anne's eyes were also full of panic and anger.
Anyone wants to become a god-wing guard, a team that serves and protects the safety of the gods, comparable to the king's personal guards.
No, even higher than the king's personal guard.
For this is the closest position to God, filled with endless divine glory......
However, Anne suppressed the anger in her chest, and looked at the warrior named Kaye with heavy bags under her eyes.
This Secreid is too unavoidable......
"No, Honorable Divine Envoy." Kaye twitched his nose and bowed with a sincere smile.
"I thank you for your kindness, and I am also full of infinite reverie for the Divine Wing Guards, who have been comparable to the supreme existence of the Oracle Warriors in the history of Sekorid."
At this moment, this old fritter from more than a hundred years ago used all the good words she knew.
"Still, I have to say that I can't be a godwing guard, my life was given to me by Lord Robin, and I swear to repay him and be his lifelong attendant, and do my best for him. This is an oath to the gods that will not allow repentance. β
Calista turned her head and looked at Robin behind her.
"Is that so?"
"Yes." Robin nodded, "She's my squire, so I beg you too, let her stay with me." β
"That's ......," Calista bowed her head, "because I've already dedicated myself to you, there's no way to dedicate myself to God......"
Ah......h
The word dedication, the corners of Robin's mouth twitched, why did it sound so strange.
"I wanted little Arce to be your personal bodyguard." Calista paused, then turned to look at Anne, "Ann, in that case, let's arrange for little Arce to return to where she came." β
"Yes, Lord God." Anne respectfully responded.
Robin turned his gaze to Grand Arce.
I don't quite understand what exactly is the relationship between these two Arce.
Or, like Gale Jr. and Gayle, just because the last or last name is the same?
"You have no objections, do you, Arce?" Calista asked her with a gentle gaze.
The latter bowed slightly, "No matter what you do, it's her pleasure." β
Listening to this tone, Robin vaguely felt that the two Arces should be related.
Otherwise, no one will be able to answer for someone else.
It's just that when he saw Arce, he couldn't tell from her young and tight face whether Arce was a sister or a mother-daughter relationship......
"Then, Kaye, you continue to be Robin's squire and keep him safe." Calista made a decision.
Kaye smiled noncommittally.
"So, as for you......" She turned her head, her gaze falling on Rowling's.
The latter was taken aback by her gaze.
Unable to understand them, Rowling almost fell asleep standing up.
Who would have thought that such a supreme person would turn his gaze on her.
It was like being splashed with a basin of water all over her body, and Rowling came to her senses.
"God has made arrangements for your future." Robin explained.
"Oh, good, good." Rowling put her hands to her sides and made an upright pose.
Calista laughed at her.
"Since she is your sister, then it is equivalent to my daughter." Calista groaned, frowned and shook her head, "Let her live in the temple first, and when you all have learned the words of Iternel and are familiar with the temple and the entire Bright Moon City, I will ask her again, no matter what she wants to do in the future."
Whether you want to be a priest, a priest or a guard, or want to be a tailor, carpenter, groom, knight, farmer, cook...... I will give it my full support. β
After listening to Calista's words, Robin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This divine envoy is much more enlightened than he imagined.
He was also worried that if Rowling was forced to leave him, or was forced to do something he didn't want to do-
Then he will definitely protect his sister and her dreams at any cost.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Robin gave an answer in place of Rowling.
And then ...... You," Calista turned to the back and looked up at Robin.
The latter's heart skipped a heavy beat.
"You'll have to learn from me how to take care of the Tree of Life for a long time to come," her gaze rose up to the sky.
The foliage covered the sky in dense air.
And what is in the Holy Scriptures. Oh, and by the way, there's the theocratic law that was introduced twelve years ago. β
Calista frowned, "Anyway, until I die, I'm afraid you'll have to be inseparable from me, like a life's inheritance." β
Pass away.
Inseparable.
The inheritance of life?
Robin's heart moved.
It was as if it were a predetermined thread of fate, connecting Robin's fingers to hers.
A gust of wind blew, rustling the leaves overhead.
It was then that Calista raised her head and smiled serenely, her gaze reaching beyond the temple.
"I think your teacher is here, and according to the agreement with Olivia, you should have to take a lot of lessons during this time."
"Yes."
Robin turned his gaze and saw a human figure on the stone steps.
Jeong-hee wears big gold-rimmed glasses and a white gown, standing straight on the horizon.
The sunlight blurred her face and made her blonde hair shine.
The long shadow was stretched to the ground, all the way to Robin's feet.
He and the king's invited teacher, Count Jewry, came as promised.
She folded her hands to her chest and bowed to Robin slightly.
"Good morning. Lord Robin. β
