The girl finally felt at ease when both her feet touched the ground. Her expression relaxed quite a bit after her maid tidied up her messy long azure hair.
Charles walked over at this time.
“Archbishop Anderson and Saintess Snow, thank you for travelling afar to come here.” He smiled politely and it did not appear flattering nor strange. It was only his cute face which people would mistake as a girl.
Of course, Snow could not see.
Charles heard a while back that Winterless City had a blind and extremely cute Saintess. Once he saw her, he felt it was a well-deserved reputation. Snow’s cute and delicate appearance made people have the urge to hold her in their arms and love them dearly.
Although Charles looks like a girl, he’s still a bonafide man! He also likes stuff like lolis! Moreover, she’s a loli who only appears less than once in a hundred years — Snow is the youngest Saintess of the Holy Light Church in a hundred years. Her name has spread all the way to Heino Kingdom.
Except Charles didn’t understand why Snow came to Despair Island. According to an earlier report, Archbishop Anderson was the only one coming.
Does the Holy Light Church want to stir up trouble, so they sent this loli?
Strange thoughts emerged from inside Charles, but he still kept a smile on his face.
Heino Kingdom and the Holy Light church were always at odds. The previous Devoru ‘rebellion’ incident almost caused the two sides to tear into each other. Charles was already considered magnimous for politely receiving the opposing party.
“Oh, isn’t this Prince Charles? You’re too kind, it wasn’t much but…” The fat Anderson interrupted before Snow could finish, “Prince, we were in a rush so we missed meal time and we’re still hungry, so…”
“Haha, no problem. I already prepared a sumptuous meal for our guests, after you.” Charles cordially entertained his guests and hinted at Jennifer to lead the way for Anderson.
Charles turned his sight towards the cute girl after he sent Anderson on his way.
“Oh, Saintess Snow, you must be hungry too, right? You should also…” Charles knew she was blind so he was planning on pulling her hand, but she unexpectedly declined.
“There’s no rush to eat.” Snow shook her head and changed the topic with a strict tone, “Has the people from Loran Academy arrived yet?”
“Loran Academy? Yeah, they already arrived, but they’re currently…”
Snow interrupted with a short and brisk statement before Charles fiinished speaking.
“Please take me to them.” Snow commanded.
“Huh?” Charles frowned and detected a hint of anxiousness from her tone.
He ddin’t really care about her irrationality, but was thinking about why she was in a rush to find people from Loran Academy?
Snow and Anderson came from afar to spread their teachings in name, but they actually came to protect Prince Caesar and Princess Shen DaiYing.
Although they didn’t travel in the same group on their way here, Charles already knew the Holy Light Church group always kept a half day’s distance away from Loran Academy. They also had a communications member where they would be notified immediately if the front group met any troubles.
But… why did Snow come?
She’s only a blind child, how could she protect anyone? It’s more likely she needs someone else to protect her.
“Saintess Snow, you…”
“Prince Charles, no need to be so formal.” It seems snow also noticed her tone was too harsh before, so she put on a sweet smile just like a little sister from next door, “You can call me Snow, hehe.”
“Snow… little sis Snow?” Seeing her face suddenly filled with an enchanting smile, Charles was stunned and a slight quiver appeared on his calm expression.
As the crown prince and heir apparent to the throne, he has met numerous people. He can see through anyone instantly whether they are an ambitious hero or a crafty villain. This was also the reason why Prince Charles’ father took a fancy to him.
Although he’s not an imperious king, and is a bit effeminate. Of course, in the eyes of others, he’s basically completely female, but with his abilities, he could make countless heroes willingly bow down to him. The ‘Golden Lion’, Devoru, who ran away from the church is the perfect example.
Devoru was proud and arrogant and was true to his nickname, a proud and aloof golden lion. In the past, only great sages and the pope could make him lower his head. But now, he was willingly working as Charles’ attendant.
The reason is unknown, peharps it’s due to Charles’ charm….
Anyway, he can’t get a read on Snow.
A moment ago, this child had a displeased face and was spitting out orders like a bumpkin. But now, she had a pure and holy smile and was the spitting image of a Saintess.
Charles thought it was an illusion — the pure and holy loli in front of him is a completely different person than the one who got off the carriage!
“Prince, what’s wrong?” Snow couldn’t help but ask after Charles remained silent for a while.
“Eh? Ah, nothing… ha.” Charles wasn’t an idiot and he immediately adjusted his mood and replied nonchalantly, “Then sister Snow, you can call me brother.”
It would be a wonderful event if Charles could form a brotherly relationship with the young Saintess Snow!
He would be able to infiltrate into the inners of the church with sibling relationshp as a pretense. Even if they get into a dispute, it won’t cause any big issues. It’s a good plan.
“I apologize. That’s the only word I cannot call you.” Snow softly declined and smiled. Her smile contained a hint of gloom and coldness, “I only have one brother.”
A pure and holy smile appeared on her face once again when she finished her sentence. It was as if she was not the one who said the previous sentence.
“… your brother? Cough, um…” Charles’ current state of mind was indescribable and he subconciously sent a few glances at the maid next to Snow. He discovered the maid was equally confused. One was a little girl who switched personalities faster than you can flip a coin, and the other was a silly maid. These two were really hard to read.
“Um….” Charles forced a laugh, blinked his large beautiful eyes, and quickly changed the topic, “You said you wanted to find Loran Academy? Don’t be rushed, let’s wait until after we eat.”
“No, take me now.” Snow firmly refused.
“Are you not hungry? Archbishop Anderson is already…”
“He’s a fat pig who only knows how to eat. I’m not the same as him.”
“Eh…” Charles couldn’t believe Snow said such vulgar words and could only ask a few more questions, “Can I ask if you have urgent matters? If you’re worried about their safety, then it’s not necessary. I already sent soldiers to guard the camp’s surroundings. They are definitely safe.”
“That’s why hurry and take me there.” Snow once again requested as if she didn’t hear his words.
“Uh… Snow, this…”
“Eh.”
Charles hesitancy left Snow helpless.
“Why do you keep wasting time like a girl?” Snow pouted and ruthlessly blamed him.
“Master, what are you saing? She’s clearly a girl, don’t bully her anymore.” Elona couldn’t standby watching anymore and quietly whispered to Snow.
Then, she raised her head and gently smiled at Charles as if to comfort him. It’s such a pity that Snow is being so mean to such a pretty girl!
“Puh… Elona, I forgot to tell you.” Snow almost couldn’t hold back her laughter, “The Prince Charles in front of you is a bonafide man.”
“Eh????” Elona exclaimed and covered her mouth. She stared at the red-haired ‘girl’ that was in front of her. How? Is it a lie? She’s clearly more beautiful than herself!
Humans are too strange.
“I… Um…” Charles had a complicated expression and he forced a smile, but he wasn’t sure what to say.
Although he was often mistaken as a girl, this was the first time he was comforted by a female maid…
Should he thank Elona for trying to help him out?
“It’s okay Prince, I was only joking. My brother’s at Loran Academy, so please take me there.”
Snow smiled and urged him.
“Who’s your brother… Caesar?”
“No, it’s Lin Xiao.”
“Huh?”
Which Lin Xiao? Oh, the unremarkable magician who has a beautiful maid?
“Okay… someone come and lead the Saintess to Loran Academy’s camp.” Charles was a bit confused but didn’t want to ask anymore questions and quickly told a soldier to lead the way.
“Thank you… Puh” Snow was still hung up on the previous joke and couldn’t hold back her laugh and she quickly said farewell to Charles and left.
At this time, Jennifer had sent Anderson away and came back to invite Prince Charles to dine with Anderson, but she saw him standing in the same spot with a blank expression.
“Prince, what’s wrong?” She asked curiously.
“Jennifer? Oh nothing. It’s just that Saintess…” Charles wanted to say something but hesitated because he didn’t know how to express his bewilderment.
“Prince, did she say something rude?” Jennifer disdainfully said, “A witch like her will face the Goddess’ wrath eventually, so pay her no mind.”
“Oh… huh? Jennifer what did you say?” Charles almost choked and quickly asked, “Witch? What do you mean, witch?”
“Prince, didn’t you know?” Jennifer replied, “People of Lombard Kingdom all call her the Snow Witch behind her back.”
Snow Witch? Prince Charles felt a slight chill run down his neck when he heard those two words.
What did this little witch come to do?
