I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

"Mommy Anjie, hug me, I'm sleepy..."

The little girl's voice was soft and sleepy.

Perhaps due to a seal within her body, Lena is always more prone to drowsiness than other children her age.

However, the little girl is quite sensible; she will tell Ange whenever she is sleepy.

Angela picked Lena up and held her in her arms, gently patting her back and coaxing her softly, "Sweetie, go to sleep if you're sleepy."

"Well..."

Lena snuggled into Ange's arms, trying to find a restrained sleeping position, but after snuggling for a while, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The little girl then opened her eyes and said with dissatisfaction, "Mommy Ange, when are you going to bring Mommy Novia back? Your chest is so hard, not as soft as Mommy Novia's. It's so uncomfortable to sleep on it."

Anjie: "..."

Is this the daughter you raised? She's so filial!

Ange: Shut up!

After mentally cursing the system, Anjie glared at the gloating Father Yaheng, who immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to breathe.

However, when his gaze fell on Emil, he found that the latter was looking at him meaningfully.

Before Ange could say anything, Emil took the initiative to say, "Who is Novia? We'll have some time later, so why don't you tell me?"

Anjie pouted and said "Oh".

Lena, nestled in Angela's arms, blinked.

She still doesn't understand where she went wrong.

However, the feeling of drowsiness quickly overwhelmed her ability to think, and soon even breathing could be heard.

Ange sighed, smiled apologetically at Yaheng and Emil, and turned to go back to her room.

After settling Lena in, Angela went to the window and looked down through the window.

System tasks...

Ocean Church...

Light Church...

A runaway girl named Bi Su...

Clues surfaced in her mind, but she couldn't piece them together.

After a long while, Anjie sighed helplessly and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to think about it.

Just as she was about to leave, her gaze suddenly fell on the crowd downstairs.

There, a girl in a gray-yellow robe was darting about, her agile figure slipping through the gaps in the crowd like a fish.

Section 80, Chapter Nineteen: The Eve

Anjie stood by the window, her gaze flickering, before finally letting out a soft sigh and looking away.

His contact with Bi Su just now had already aroused the other party's vigilance and dissatisfaction.

If you continue to monitor or even stalk the other party, it will be even harder to explain if they discover it.

After much deliberation, Anjie decided against following them.

squeak-

"Angie, my darling~"

The door was pushed open, and Emil crossed his arms, leaning against the door frame as he looked at Ange standing at the window.

Ange turned around and glanced at her, then pointed to the sleeping Lena, indicating that this was not the place to talk.

Emil didn't insist, but instead went out of the room and waited for Ange to come out.

After Angel came out and closed the door, before Emil could ask anything, she took the initiative to say, "Novia... is a girl I met in the town of Isa."

She and I had a very good relationship. During that time, she was basically the one taking care of me and helping me manage church affairs.

Chief Justice Emil must have heard about Lena from Chief Justice Joan as well. The child must have suffered some kind of memory trauma; the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was me and Lena, which is why she mistook us for her mother.

Ange did not clarify her relationship with Novia.

After all, just because she is a lesbian doesn't mean that people around her can accept lesbians.

She is also said to be the only saint of the Church of Light.

What if Chief Justice Emil doesn't allow me to have lesbian relationships? That would be the end of me.

Emil raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say I was going to ask that. Besides, you're all grown up now, it's perfectly normal for you to make friends, and I won't criticize you for it."

Ange simply smiled at Emil's words and said nothing more.

"By the way, didn't Chief Justice Emil go to contact the Ocean Church this morning? How did it go?" Ange steered the conversation back to the main topic.

Emil's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and his tone became somewhat angry. "I asked their priests or bishops to come out and see me, but they refused, saying they weren't in the church."

Haha, I clearly saw a man wearing a papal robe walk in earlier, do you think I'm blind?

"If I didn't have a mission, I would have smashed their church to pieces."

As he spoke, Emil waved his little fist at the air in front of him, making what he thought was a very fierce expression.

Little did she know, this expression would melt Anjie's heart.

She began to understand why organizations like "Want to be Miss Emil's Dog" had emerged among the common people in the capital.

If Emil weren't her elder, Ange would definitely have picked her up and given her a big kiss.

Of course, doing this would inevitably result in a severe beating.

Emil was known for her terrible temper, and Ange had no doubt that Emil was joking when she said she would tear down the church.

Emil can really do it!

After all, this is a judge who threatened to demolish his own church in front of the Pope!

"Chief Judge Emil, let's sneak in tonight. I have a feeling there's something wrong with the Ocean Church," Ange said quietly, her face serious.

Emil nodded indifferently.

Actually, she doesn't like doing things like infiltration.

After all, I'm powerful enough that I can just go wherever I want without having to resort to infiltration.

However, since it was Anjie's request, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

After seeing Emil off, Ange returned to her room.

"Anjie's mom... um... hug me..."

Lena's soft, sweet voice made Angela look over quickly, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lena's eyes were still closed.

It was just sleep talking.

After thinking for a moment, Angela stepped forward, pulled Lena into her arms, and kissed the little girl's hair.

Feeling the familiar embrace and warmth, Lena's furrowed brows gradually relaxed in her sleep, and she snuggled closer to Ange.

Looking at the little girl's sweet sleeping face, Anjie felt a little heavy-hearted.

She always knew that Lena was very sensible, even to the point of being heartbreakingly sensible.

He really missed Novia, but he wouldn't say it. He would only mention it jokingly very occasionally, and then never again.

More than a month has passed since Novia disappeared.

Even he himself missed that gentle and virtuous girl, let alone Lena, who had spent the most time with Novia.

"Sigh...Novia, where are you...?"

...

Meanwhile, in the capital of the Ors Empire, at the royal palace

A rope hangs down from the high wall of the palace.

With a jolt, a slender figure appeared on the top of the wall and grasped one end of the rope.

This figure was quite agile, climbing down the rope in just a few leaps.

"Phew... finally out."

Bathed in moonlight, her long, fiery red hair fluttered wildly in the night breeze.

This figure is Noah.

However, she was not wearing her usual luxurious clothes at this time, but rather a very simple commoner's outfit.

After landing, Noah tugged at the rope again, snorted, and muttered to himself, "You think you can trap me like this? Heh, I won't let you have your way!"

"Not according to anyone's wishes?"

"Who else could it be but Father...wait!?"

Noah was taken aback and turned to look at the red-haired girl who had appeared behind him at some point.

Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Noah instinctively exclaimed, "Sophia!? What are you doing here?"

Sofia, supporting her ample bosom with her arms, stared at Noah with a stern face: "Shouldn't I be asking you that question? I remember Father hasn't lifted your confinement order yet, so where are you going this time?"

Noah glanced away, stammering, "No... I didn't go anywhere. Just wanted to clear my head..."

Sophia raised an eyebrow. "Let me guess."

"..."

"A pub in the city?"

I don't drink alcohol.

"A brothel?"

"how is this possible?"
