However, Moira did not answer her for a long time.
Phyllis couldn't help feeling a little discouraged—couldn't what Moira saw was not what she imagined?
Just when Phyllis was almost desperate, Moira suddenly spoke.
"Phyllis, I probably know what kind of answer you want, and I understand why you want this."
Well, even if she didn't understand at first, after getting along with her for this period of time, Moira can feel Phyllis' true heart through her daily words and deeds.
"But, have you ever thought that for me, Lady Serena is irreplaceable?"
"The success of Lady Serena is the best motivation for me, and the existence of Lady Serena has pointed out the direction for many nuns like me."
"Perhaps in the eyes of the nobles, it is inappropriate or even sinful for Serena to become a saint, but for us, she is the real light of hope."
Phyllis froze.
That's right, she really didn't put herself in Moira's shoes and think about the problem.
The daughters of these civilian families had a very difficult life.
To them, being able to enter St. Gillian's Church is even the pinnacle of their lives, let alone becoming a high-ranking member of the church?
In the past 300 years, there have never been any bishop-level monks and nuns who were born in the common people.
And Serena's success completely broke this invisible ceiling.
From this point of view, Moira really has no reason to oppose Serena, and should even take the initiative to cover for Serina.
No matter what the person who is about to put on the saint's white robe hides under the beautiful skin, as a commoner nun, Moira's only correct choice is to stand there!
Phyllis was suddenly filled with bitterness.
In fact, she can be sure that Moira, when everyone first met a month ago, never thought of this level at all.
It was Serena's - and Phyllis's own - guidance during this time that gave Moira such a vision.
"I see. Good night."
Feeling cold, Phyllis said good night in a dry tone, and then forced herself to fall asleep to replenish the lost strength.
Because of this, she didn't notice at all that Moira's reaction was actually not that simple.
When Phyllis snored softly, Moira's cheeks were flushed and her heart was beating fast.
She recalled over and over again the figure she saw from the hole in the wall not long ago, and murmured in words that only she could hear:
"How could such a beautiful creature be an evil demon?"
…………
Serena didn't know what her two subordinates were thinking.
Early the next morning, she assembled her entourage and announced her victory from the previous night.
"...With the assistance of Knight Samuel, I successfully defeated the succubus Modesty and captured her!"
"Next, we need to return to Basho City and hand over this demon to Earl Walpole and Bishop Dom."
"Okay, everyone, get ready and let's go!"
Although Samuel himself has no memory of participating in the war, since the Holy Maiden said so, he has no reason to refute it.
Therefore, in the end, Knight Samuel only responded to the congratulations and ridicule of his companions with a reserved smile.
And under such circumstances, no one would notice the strange look Serena and Modesty exchanged.
Chapter 13 The Earl of Walpole's Fatal Decision
The Earl of Walpole has been in very strange moods these last few days.
The servants of the castle would often see the Earl in an inexplicably excited and joyful mood, which could turn into annoyance and irritability in the next second at any time.
Naturally, these people had no way of knowing how delicate the Earl was in his state of mind.
In fact, the Earl is generally very happy now.
It's a good thing to be able to achieve the level of feat of catching a lively succubus alive for nothing.
Samuel, this child, was simply lucky to be hit by such a pie not long after he left the house.
As the master of Samuel, Earl Walpole can naturally enjoy a certain degree of honor.
Think about it, in the social occasions of nobles in the future, the earl can be called a demon crusader-this is super face-saving, okay?
But the next question was one of the reasons for his distress.
Camellia Town is not his territory.
That's right, although he is the king of the southern border and nobles of all sizes look up to him, not all the land here is in his name.
This is the case in Camellia Town, this little knight leader actually belongs directly to the king himself.
Therefore, he has no right to dispose of the legal lord of this territory at all-unless the king himself removes all rights of Mrs. Rachel first.
To a certain extent, he really wanted to cut off the horned but still charming head with his own hands, but unfortunately he didn't have the right.
From a procedural point of view, he must report the situation of the succubus to King Tempus, and then consider whether to send the succubus to the capital or execute it on the spot according to the king's will.
That's right, he can quickly ask for instructions through magic props, but the result...
Anyway, Earl Walpole can conclude that if he is the king himself, he will definitely demand that Mrs. Rachel be transported back to the capital and executed after a trial.
There is no other, just because it can better demonstrate the kingship.
Therefore, out of some ulterior motives, Earl Walpole did not use the fast channel, but instead sent knights as messengers according to the ancient procedure to submit a written report to the capital.
The knight ran and killed three horses along the way, and finally delivered the letter to the king's secretary hall yesterday.
That night, the king's instructions were delivered to the earl's desk through magic props.
The content is also fully predictable:
Earl Walpole must send the suspected demon Mrs. Rachel herself to the capital for final identification and disposal as soon as possible.
And this made the earl have to make another embarrassing decision:
who to send.
In fact, this task is as simple as it is simple, and as complex as it is complex.
To put it simply, it's because this escort job really doesn't need to do anything.
The saintess and the bishop have joined forces to impose a seal to ensure that the succubus is bound in human form.
Escorting a helpless woman with a whole team of knights as guards is really an easy job.
It is complicated because although this matter has no real content, it is a good opportunity to show off.
That's right, every one of the nobles in the southern border is eager to show their faces in the capital.
And the task of escorting a living demon into the king's city like this couldn't be more exciting.
When the earl hinted at the possibility of such an opportunity at the dinner party, several of his brothers and sons became excited and expressed themselves in various ways.
Thinking about it, the Earl himself felt that with such a good job suitable for bragging, I am afraid that no one would make fun of them as bumpkins when they arrived in the capital.
Maybe, if you go to the young lady in the custom world to brag about it, you can still get a discount.
As long as there is something special, everyone must be flocking to it.
And this thing is so special.
Purely considering the task itself, the Earl felt that it would be most appropriate for the knight Samuel to escort him.
As the person concerned, he must be able to tell more details than others.
And a cautious character can suppress the risks on the road to a minimum.
Unfortunately, things are not so simple to decide.
In the final analysis, no matter how powerful Samuel is and how much he is favored, he is just an illegitimate child.
The earl had done his best to help by placing him near the saintess, and he couldn't do more.
If he shows too much preference for the illegitimate son Samuel, his family will never have peace.
Therefore, Samuel was the first one who needed to be out.
And the earl's own brother and the two grown-up sons are really the same thing—they are all empty shelves that cannot be supported by mud.
Therefore, it was really difficult for the earl to let which waste enjoy such an honor.
After thinking for a few days, he finally made up his mind to let his eldest son go.
Although this guy is tyrannical, lustful and drunk;
Although this guy has a lot of bad deeds, some time ago he was ordered to be confined at home because he accidentally killed a little nobleman.
But no matter what, this is also the first heir to his title.
Appropriately adding some brilliance can be regarded as patching in advance for the future earldom.
With this mentality in mind, the earl finally signed the document, arranging for his eldest son, Arthur Walpole, to lead a team to escort the succubus to the capital.
"Anyway, it's a foolproof task. I hope that this trip to the capital will give Arthur a little more demeanor that a nobleman should have."
At this time, the Earl did not realize what a wrong decision this was.
…………
"Oh, Sister Eve, are you leaving here?"
Serena raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She worked hard to share the credit for catching the succubus among Knight Samuel and Sister Eve in front of her.
According to her plan, after her packaging and operation, the famous Eve will become her loyal lackey because of her great kindness, and then keep her reputation as the innocent saint at a certain level. considerable height.
But she never expected that although Eve was grateful to her, she would resolutely propose to leave here and go to a certain rural monastery when the promotion activities had not yet achieved the best results.
Does that fit, huh?
After all, I, Serena, is also your superior and savior of Eve, how disrespectful are you to let go of someone at such a critical time?
"Well, I understand the painstaking efforts of the Holy Maiden, but I really have a reason to leave."
With a perplexed expression, Eve took out a letter from her robe.
"My teacher is seriously ill, and my sisters are worried that if I don't get back in time, I won't see her for the last time... I really can't..."
Well, why is there another teacher?
Serena took the letter and looked it up carefully, her eyes suddenly sparkled with curiosity.
"So it's such a prestigious figure?"
Chapter 14
The content of the letter is actually very simple. The problem is that the signature and coat of arms behind the letter are really unusual.
The letter just hoped that Eve, the teacher's favorite disciple, could go back soon and see the old man for the last time.
But at the end of the letter paper, there were the inscriptions of two abbots, the family coats of arms of four noble ladies with noble status, and the signatures of more than a dozen nuns with surnames.
According to Serina's estimates, the number of women who can match these people's status in the area around Basho City may only be in the three digits.
Especially those two female monastery deans - this is not the kind of small female monastery that Serena wanted to build. The names of these two monasteries can be heard even in the capital.
It can be said that half of the sky in the southern border has gathered on this letter paper.
"So, Eve, who is your teacher...?"
Serena raised her eyebrows and waited expectantly for Eve's introduction.
"My teacher is Ms. Kundera Albert, the best female professor in the south, and the dean of St. Louisa Monastery!"
Eve proudly spoke about her mentorship.
