552 CH 512: CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT? (1)
[Castitas Church]
The church, unlike usual was not filled with the sound of prayer of the fervent believers but rather the sound of equipment being polished and the training.
The war that was about to happen did not just concern the royal family. The duty of the church in times of war, whatever the country, was to prepare on-
field healers.
Many might find this scandalous, thinking that the nun knew nothing of fighting. But they wouldn’t be more wrong.
While not all nuns were trained for war obviously, they all received basic training to know how to operate.
“Is everyone ready?”
Currently, Aura was standing in the podium of a large training space while overlooking the strained face of a paladin and nun standing in a team of two or four.
One nun always had to be accompanied by at least one Paladin when in war and ideally by a full team of four. This was the ideal formation to ensure the safety of the nuns while they healed the wounds in the field.
“Your holiness, I believe their training is complete. It will be hard to do more than this without experience.”
Aura gazed quietly at the young man in shining armor talking to her. He was a rather handsome young man all things considered. Most likely in his twenties and the aura of a Duke was emanating from him quietly.
“White Knight.”
Aurora greeted him quietly. In the church, the white Knight was the dedicated guardian of the Supreme and Holy daughter. The current white knight was also a very talented man. At least when it came to human standards. He had made a contract with a powerful ice spirit who controlled ice and had even managed to become a Duke.
Aurora, though was wholly unimpressed. The simple fact that a Duke rank was chosen as his guardian was something she found laughable and ridiculous. But she was Dawn no more. She had yet to recuperate her power and as she was, even a weak Duke would prove to be a hard opponent.
‘How far I have fallen.’
She sighed quietly before smiling again, “Very well. The Crown has given his order. We need to start marching. Warn the nuns and Paladins in the other Denomination. They have been allowed to do as they pleased until now. But times have changed.”
Her voice was calm as she gave her order, which allowed her to think about the prince,
‘What the hell was I thinking?’
Just remembering how she asked him to pat her head and compliment her like she was a baby in lack of attention made her wish she could crawl into a hole and hide for the rest of her life.
‘Sigh…Then again, thinking about it, he is also a Duke, right?’
Aurora mused quietly as she started to walk away. She refused to believe even one instant that Sol was an ordinary Duke. Even for a hybrid, the power he displayed made absolutely no sense in the frame she understood.
‘I guess his origin doesn’t lie? Though I wonder if I am the only one who noticed.’
This was not an impossibility. She was sure that she wasn’t the only one who had survived the slaughter of her father.
Gods were immortals. Even should they be killed, as long as their concepts existed, they would slowly come back to life. This was an eternal immutable law.
At least this was what they all thought until that day — The power of the End. The power to truly extinguish the existence of a god.
—That power was incomplete. She realized this instinctively even as her head was leaving her body under the blade of her beloved father.
What she found weird was why her stupid sisters were watching him grow without doing anything.
It seemed like outside of Invidia, none of them were in a really bad relationship with him and even Invidia attacked him for stupid cowardly reasons rather than anything else.
‘Well…I guess being a little stupid and weak is what made them survive until everything was resolved.’
While all the gods and goddesses back then were pretty individualist, the fourteen were always huddled together.
The weakest alone. But when acting together, they could suddenly reach even the might of Ymir. After all, though they were goddesses of primordial emotions like the Seven Sins and Virtues, it was important to remember that even gods felt emotions.
“Your holiness?”
Aurora smiled as she looked at the one who addressed her, it was a young nun. From her attire, Aurora judged that she was just an apprentice.
“What is the matter?”
“I…I apologize for distur…bing you. But. I can..Cannot allow you to proceed further.”
The way she spoke while stuttering and showing obvious fear and embarrassment was quite funny. Aurora had the impression she was watching a small squirrel.
‘Mortal are always funny.’
“My. I need to have a meeting with the Supreme Daughter about the war Preparation. Could you explain to me what is happening there?”
“Hah…”
The girl trembled a little as if she was hesitating between different sets of orders. “The Supreme daughter is…She is having a meeting…Wi-With many women.”
“Oh?”
Aurora tilted her head, feeling suddenly curious.
She looked at the door of the conference room and wondered for an instant if she should use her power.
Since she had stolen the power of [Night], she also had authority over [Secret]. This was one of the reasons why her stupid sisters had still not noticed her existence nor managed to obtain any proof of Sol’s blasphemous action when he healed Lilith.
Right now, she could feel the power of the secret she used to cover Lillith on the other side.
‘Should I take a look?’
Aurora wondered profoundly. It wouldn’t be impossible for her to enter this place without being noticed at all. Whether they were kings or demigods did not matter.
The only one who could find her when she hid her presence was Sol.
‘I am just going to take a peek.’
Whatever was happening there couldn't be too bad, right?
(AN: Guys, soon is our anniversary. On the 1st September SHK will be officially 3 years old. This will also sound like the 1 year anniversary since I signed a contract with WN. Thanks for all the support guys. I really hope to see you in September as well.)
