Chapter 187: The Saint's Gaze
On the morning of mid-January, the ship returned to the port of Avilato, and was greeted by Princess Baiyue and high-ranking nobles from the royal court.
The main road of the port was lined with a band dressed in silver and red dresses, a red carpet was laid outside the ship, and court guards were lined up on both sides. The luggage that Isabella had just picked up was taken over by two court maids.
"Ah? What happened?" Isabella was still in the dark. "Am I still asleep?"
Residents nearby also learned about the excellent results achieved by Briffin College in the fencing league, and gathered near the port, some even looking out from the central bridge 500 meters away.
Isabella forced a smile and responded to the congratulations from the people around her: Is this what honor is? I must have underestimated it. I didn't expect that winning the first place in the competition would be celebrated with such a grand ceremony! Am I... flattered?
After a welcoming ceremony, Isabella was forced to come to Princess Baiyue's reception room.
"Yes! Here, ten gold coins... Is that okay?"
Isabella touched her pocket, but in fact her left hand reached deep into the void and touched ten gold coins.
"Princess Bai Yue's potion is quite effective. No one can beat us in the arena."
The Seventh Prince standing aside seemed to be completely ignored by Princess Bai Yue and did not take the initiative to talk to her.
Isabella's mind moved, and she used the special ability of the Twin Sirens for the first time, activating the twin clones. She could only copy one body at a time, and inherited 100% of the original's abilities. No matter how far apart they were, they could share thoughts and act separately.
The disadvantage is that it consumes magic power every moment, and one thousandth of it is consumed in a day.
When a replica dies or the original dies, the main consciousness will return to the survivor, unless both bodies and consciousness die at the same time.
At the same time, outside the palace gate.
The saint passed through the gap in space and came in front of several guards guarding the gate.
The saint was emitting a national-level magical power fluctuation. The few people who were only intermediate-level magic swordsmen could not help but tremble. Seeing that the little girl in front of them had such terrifying strength...
"Don't be nervous. Please tell your king that the saint is here to visit. If you agree, I will go to the palace to find your king now."
Five minutes later, the guard brought word that the king agreed to meet, but he was currently in the reception room of the palace.
The saint took out two silver coins from the void with her left hand and threw them to the guard who brought the message. She opened the gap in space with her right hand and went to the reception room under the king's bedroom.
A gap in space suddenly appeared, and a familiar figure floated over. The paladin stood in front of the king, ready to draw his sword.
"Your Excellency the Saint, why did you suddenly come to visit today?"
The king spoke, and a cup of hot tea was already poured on the table.
"I heard that there is a very powerful swordsman in the Oberic Empire. I came to take a look. If my magic is not wrong, she is now with Princess Baiyue."
The saint sat down slowly and drank half a cup of tea. The paladin let down his guard and stood behind the king.
"Oh? So Her Excellency the Saint came here because of her reputation. I am so happy!" The king said slowly, "We haven't encountered any king-level monsters in the past six months, and the Magic Group doesn't dare to act rashly. Our strategic cooperation has at least stabilized half of the world. But is Her Excellency the Saint coming here for something important?"
"If it's for a small seedling, it's a bit too..."
"Your Majesty, please do not underestimate this little girl," the Saint said hurriedly, "If you can make her a member of my Saint Guild, I can give Bai Yue the protection of a Saint Envoy. Although it is only one layer of non-renewable magic defense, it is enough to replace that girl, right?"
The king smiled bitterly, with an inexplicable sneer in his heart: It doesn't matter who you give it to, why give this opportunity to the younger generation? Could it be that you can't stand the old man?
The saint didn't want to wait any longer at this point, and had to get everyone in this room to move to Princess Baiyue's tea room immediately. The old king in front of her spoke in a slow tone. If they missed this great opportunity and left the palace, she didn't know when the next chance would be!
"Your Excellency the Saint is eager to seek talents, which is understandable... But can this bargaining chip be exchanged for the person in front of Your Excellency the Saint?"
"And Isabella is a citizen of the empire. I wonder if Her Excellency the Saint needs her so urgently. What is her plan? She is a rare talent..."
"Don't worry. The bargaining chip can of course be His Majesty the King. I just want her to become the Saint's Messenger. With her strength, I won't force her. After she joins the Saint's Admiration Guild, her destination will still be the Oberic Empire."
After the conversation, the saint released the protection of the lowest-ranking holy messenger.
The next step was to move to Princess Baiyue's tea room, but the Saint did not want to cause any trouble, so she opened a space gap at the door and explained to everyone that they could go directly to Princess Baiyue's floor through the space. The Saint took a step ahead and slowly floated into the space gap.
Several people were skeptical about the gap in space. The Paladin made a look and asked the king's maid to go first, followed by the Paladin, and a moment later the king...
In Princess Baiyue's tea room...
"Isabella, your swordsmanship is good enough to be a palace guard. If you can improve to the level of an intermediate magic sorcerer within six years..." Princess Bai Yue said patiently, "You will definitely be an excellent magic swordsman. I think there is nothing to hesitate about. Why don't you become a reserve guard of the palace today? I will explain this to Tiguwei and the king, and they will agree."
The silent seventh prince Xia An felt sorry for Isabella: Isabella had no way out. Once she joined the Charlemagne family, future court struggles were inevitable... I didn't want to get involved in these things at all. I just wanted to be an ordinary prince. Isabella also just wanted to live an ordinary life, right? It was all because of Princess Bai Yue who had been fanning the flames.
At this time, the door of the tea room was knocked by the king's maid, saying that His Majesty the King had arrived.
Princess Bai Yue was even more delighted when she heard the shocking news. I didn't expect Grandpa to come at such a coincidence, so I don't have to go look for him!
The Seventh Prince was stunned at first, his brows slightly furrowed, and he didn't know where to start what he wanted to say.
When the king entered the tea room, Isabella bowed to him seriously.
I couldn't help but think of how my mother would practice this move every day when we came to Avilato.
The Seventh Prince and Princess Baiyue behind him also stood up and only bowed slightly to the king's arrival.
Before Princess Baiyue could speak, the king said with a smile, "Isabella Bairina, thank you for bringing great honor to the empire in this fencing league..."
"Now I have good news for you. Her Excellency the Saint wants to accept you as a Saint Messenger. It is not only an honor, but you can also stay in Oberic and serve the Empire. Are you willing to accept it?"
After the king finished speaking, the saint came out from the gap between the king and the paladin, and the petite saint was suspended two inches above the ground.
Princess Bai Yue and the Seventh Prince behind Isabella thought that it was just the king's one-sided statement, but when they saw the saint appear, their faces turned pale.
Isabella lifted her skirt, slowly half-knelt, lowered her head and said in a light tone: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty the King and Lady Saint. I am very happy to accept the honor and reward. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"
Princess Bai Yue felt extremely aggrieved at the moment. She clenched her fists and her eyes darkened...
What on earth is going on! Isabella is clearly my right-hand man who I carefully trained!
It was me who allowed her to enter my fantasy town step by step, accumulating strength and honor...
How did he end up becoming the saint's man!
I should still have a chance, right? Isabella must have never seen such a scene before, so she could only agree! Yes, it must be like this!
Princess Bai Yue thought of the last possibility and comforted herself in her heart before she calmed down.
Under the gaze of everyone, the saint came to Isabella, touched Isabella's face, and looked at her carefully as if she was playing with a doll.
After a seemingly careful observation, the Saint lifted Isabella's chin and said, "This child has good talent. It turns out that she still needs to become a Saint and look up to the Guild to realize her value. It is a waste of talent to keep her in the palace and become your exclusive personal belongings."
Isabella was secretly happy: I'm talking about you! Princess Bai Yue, but seeing my own appearance through the eyes of the replica is indeed cute, hehe...
The Seventh Prince discovered that the Saint's temperament was somewhat similar to Isabella's, except that Isabella was a little taller than her. Regardless of this, Isabella was now finally free from the control of the Fourth Princess!
