Dark waves streaked across the starry sky, covering Shulben with a hazy and quiet layer of stars,

The lights of the mansion in Shurben were gradually brightened, and the red light and shadow shone softly through the windows, softly spilling over every corner of the empty courtyard.

In the study, the brown wooden desk was illuminated by the warm candle flame flickering in the erected oil lamp.

Its warm glow also poured over Prisis's pale skin.

She sat at her desk, occasionally twisting her neck and gently rubbing her shoulders in an attempt to ease the day's exhaustion.

As a lord, Prisis doesn't have to do the household herself, but she still needs to keep an eye on many things.

Especially today, dealing with the robbers on the road to the mansion in the afternoon kept her busy all night.

Now, the desk is covered with a pile of papers about the encounter with robbers in the afternoon.

The parchment was covered with dense text, mainly instructing subordinates to strengthen Shulben's internal defenses.

If Schulben is found to be infested with robbers, he must be severely punished and more hidden robbers must be uncovered.

With her hands on the edge of her desk, Prisis picked up a pen to sketch on the paperwork and carefully sign her name.

After making sure everything was correct, she leaned back in her chair and breathed a sigh of relief, calling in a soft, firm voice.

"Someone."

The servant on call outside the door quickly and respectfully answered.

"Your lord, you command."

"Communicate these documents in their entirety and make sure they are implemented immediately."

Prisis picked up the stack of papers and handed it to the servant in front of her.

In the light of the flickering fire, she watched as the servant bowed, then turned away.

Wait until the door closes again, and the footsteps fade away.

Prisis spread out of her chair and almost slipped off it, like a weak fat house.

No way, there is really too little information she has gathered about that group of robbers,

Miss Gwen was so quick that she killed all the robbers in the blink of an eye, leaving not a single one alive.

Prisis could only try to prevent this kind of robbery from happening again.

In the kingdom, the robbery of lords is almost unprecedented.

She seems to have become the first lord to be robbed by robbers.

I don't know if it will be used as a negative teaching material by other lords......

Prisis was a little weak-hearted.

However, she did not see the robber attack as a simple robbery.

It can be said that the other party has a clear purpose, and he is completely running for their family's carriage.

Knowing their travel time, they set up a trap on the way back.

But there was something strange that Prisis couldn't figure out at all.

The strength of that group of robbers doesn't seem to be very strong,

Even if Miss Gwen wasn't there, it would be enough for her to do it alone.

So what are these people targeting the carriage of the Klevenner family for? Simply causing a little confusion?

Sitting in her chair, Prichis sighed deeply, her heart full of doubts.

"What if...... It would be nice if Dad was here. ”

Whenever she thought of Victor, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Fortunately, the candlelight cast a hazy shadow on her face, hiding her shyness.

She coughed lightly, trying to calm herself, for fear that someone would suddenly push the door in and see her at the moment.

Fortunately, no one came in.

Prisis continued to ponder, her fingers gently stroking a magic crystal beside her desk

Let's ask Bishop Michaela for advice.

As she touched it, the crystal clear stone gradually emitted a faint blue glow.

The light gradually became dazzling, filling the entire interior of the magic guide stone.

Soon, a gentle and familiar voice came from the magic guide stone:

"My lord, please tell me what you need."

The Church of Fertility has a great influence among the inhabitants of Sulburn with its deep-rooted action of spreading love and abundance.

It can be said that although the prosperity of Sulburn is due to the management of Pulisis, the efforts of the Abundant Church are indispensable.

Prisis knew that Bishop Michaela would not sit idly by as anything happened in the territory of Sulburn.

Immediately afterward, she gave Michaela in the Wizard Stone a detailed account of the events she had encountered on her way back to the territory today.

Michaela was silent for a moment, as if in deep thought.

After a long time, she reopened her mouth and asked Prisis:

"My lord, did you notice the blood stains on the robbers?"

Upon hearing this, Prichis was slightly stunned.

As a Bloodliner, she is unusually sensitive to blood.

But since Gwen was able to subdue the robber with a single blow, she didn't see any blood.

She also thought that it was because the blood of those robbers was all frozen in her body.

But now Bishop Michaela's reminder can't help but remind Prisis of a certain group-

Notorious evil believers.

They claim to be followers of the Goddess of Justice, but they are extremely paranoid and can be heard of in various places from time to time.

Compared to the Mage Council, which also believes in the goddess of justice, it is completely two kinds of organizations.

Therefore, many people believe that the Council of Mages is the true Orthodox Church of the Goddess of Justice.

Shulben was rarely harassed by these believers, due to the Bloods led by Prisis.

Today, Surburn hides a number of Bloodline members, who are almost entirely under the watchful eye of the Fertility Church.

In order to provide a safe haven for her fellow Blood, Prisis had asked Bishop Michaela to build a grand central church in the heart of the city.

This allowed the displaced Bloods to live in seclusion in Shulben, which has not yet been detected by humans.

Thanks to their help, many hidden cultists have been revealed in the territory of Surburn.

Without exception,

Almost all of these cultists were expelled or completely eradicated by Priss.

However, no matter how thoroughly cleaned up, there will always be traces of omission, after all, it is impossible to completely eliminate them.

Now, Prisis realizes that it was a group of believers disguised as humans who had attacked them this afternoon.

"So they're targeting me?"

Prisis was slightly surprised, but on closer inspection, it seemed to make sense.

Considering that she and her fellow blood clans had cleared out this group of cultists before, coupled with the recent exposure of her blood clan identity.

Therefore, the occurrence of all these events naturally reminded her that this was an act of revenge against her.

"Most likely, they will take action against all of Sulben next, and Lord Lords should be extra vigilant."

Michaela's voice came from the magic guide stone, making Prisis's face even more solemn, and she hurriedly continued to ask:

"So what should I do next?"

The Magic Guide Stone shone with a deep blue light at this time, and Michaela's voice conveyed instructions gently but firmly:

"Stay calm and don't act rashly. During this time, don't panic if anything happens. ”

"Remember, don't let anyone leave your mansion, including recent guests."

Prisis nodded in agreement, but was puzzled.

Not even the guests in the house can go out, not even the righteous Miss Gwen?

"For ...... Why? ”

She frowned, puzzled, and never understood what this had to do with Miss Gwen.

Isn't Miss Gwen the best person to assist with this?

Prisis was unaware of Gwen's relationship with the cultists.

In her opinion, those evil believers and Miss Gwen should be incompatible.

Miss Gwen probably wouldn't give up such an opportunity to eradicate evil.

"Just make sure they don't leave the mansion, and we'll take care of the rest."

Michaela's words reassured Prisis for the time being, but she was still worried.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she continued to ask:

"That'...... And what about the ordinary residents of Shulben? If Shulben is in danger, do they need to evacuate early? ”

But the answer she received was Michaela's indifferent voice:

"No, you don't."

"They are bait to attract cultists, and if they leave, the cultists will be alert to the anomaly."

This indifference to human life sent a chill through Prissis's heart.

Is this the messenger of the gods...... Treat innocent life as if it were an insignificant insect.

"If there are no other questions, I will inform the members of the Church to prepare for action, my lord."

"Remember to follow my previous instructions and don't let any guests leave."

The moment the words fell, the magic guide stone in Prisis's hand suddenly went out.

The pale blue glow quickly faded, and the room returned to a calm, dim light.

In the study, only the gasps of Prisis remained.

She sat at her desk with the magic guide stone in her hand, her slightly messy thoughts haunting her......

……

When the call ended, Michaela didn't hesitate to shove the Magic Stone back into her place of abundance.

After regaining some calm, he bowed slightly to the man in front of him.

"I have delivered the message to your daughter, Godfather Victor, at your command."

"Is that enough?"

Victor stood silently, his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless.

Seeing Bishop Michaela bowing, there was also a deep ditch.

He looked away slightly, and then said lightly:

"That's enough."

Michaela was a little confused by his answer, and she stood up and said with questions:

"It's just that I'm a little confused."

Victor's indifferent gaze fell back on Michaela, waiting for her to continue asking:

"Why don't you tell me personally, but wait for Lord Prisis to come to me and ask about it, and then I'll tell you?"

The meaning of the words is nothing more than two points.

For one, do you trust Prisis to come and ask me?

The second is that the first to tell Prisis is not more effective

And Victor's answer is clear:

"The nature of the first time I told her is very different from what you told her."

The first is a sense of crisis.

If Victor had been the first to tell him, Prisis might have taken it to heart, but he wouldn't have a great sense of crisis in his subconscious.

After all, in her heart, Victor can withstand any crisis.

Conversely, if Prisis asks Michaela about it, it means that she senses something is wrong.

And this is only after careful consideration that the answer is sought.

She hopes to identify and solve the current problems through the perspective of a lord.

"So, she's going to be very concerned about it."

Michaela suddenly realized and nodded, but still felt that this was a bit redundant.

After all, whether or not Prisis really felt the crisis, she didn't need to do anything about it.

Eventually, this matter will be handled by Victor.

In this way, Prishys's so-called sense of crisis seems to be nothing more than an insignificant farce.

But Victor then revealed another key piece of information that allowed Michaela to finally fully understand and accept the plan.

"Don't forget, we still have Gwen."

Gwen's righteous heart is enough to discern the true from the false.

If Michaela's words make Prisis stop Gwen from leaving the manor while being full of a sense of crisis.

Gwen would have basically taken Priss's word for it.

Because she could see Prisis's mentality, she was serious.

If it had been Victor who had taken the lead, Prisis might have taken a very different approach to the matter.

And if you want to dissuade Gwen in the same way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince her.

It's more likely that Gwen will detect some clues and understand that this is actually Victor's intention.

In this way, it is impossible for Gwen to calm down and stay in the territory.

Because she came to this kingdom in the first place to find Victor.

She would most likely realize that it was all a lie, and that it was exactly what Victor wanted Prisis to weave.

"My purpose is to make Gwen a decoy to attract the cultists, but I must not let her go into battle herself to become a sword to kill the cultists."

Victor wanted to strike a delicate balance between thwarting the cultists' plans and keeping Gwen's hidden power of the goddess from being awakened.

"But...... What if Gwen doesn't listen to the persuasion and insists on coming to you? ”

Michaela asks a reasonable question after hearing about Victor's plan, but Victor only shakes his head slightly.

"No, it won't."

She wanted to ask Victor further why he was so confident, but the next moment, she heard Victor say calmly and confidently:

"Without knowing exactly where I was, Gwen learned that Shulben was about to be 'in danger.'"

"Her priority will never be to sweep away evil."

Victor's tone was calm, as if he had foreseen the direction of everything and that all the variables were under his control.

"Rather, protect 'Leah Klevenna'"
