Female Knight Simulator, I am full of righteousness!

Loria stood at the doorway, lost in thought.

What does it mean that you're suddenly teaching me how to generate electricity?

"Loria, Loria, if that's not the Holy Sword, then what is it?"

Doris's words interrupted Loria's thoughts; she rambled on, "It's a tool for happiness."

"Is it fun?"

Doris's eyes lit up.

"so so."

Loria hasn't used it, so it's hard to say.

Doris grabbed her sleeve: "Teach me, teach me, quickly show me."

What are you saying!

Loria's eyes sharpened. Who wants to demonstrate how to use that thing? Get lost. Kids should play with kids' toys.

After a lecture, Doris finally agreed not to touch other people's things anymore.

"You need to get their consent first, understand?"

"Uh-huh."

"Alright, let's go practice our swordsmanship!"

Another day, leaving me breathless, has come to an end.

The next afternoon, while Loria was still guiding Miss Fat Sheep in drawing her sword, a maid rushed in to inform them that the knights from the capital were almost there.

"Then go take a shower first."

Loria didn't want to appear in front of strangers looking sweaty and nauseous.

After spending half an hour tidying up their appearance and waiting on the sofa for another ten minutes, the knights who had come from afar finally appeared.

Two people came this time, a man and a woman. The man was wearing heavy black armor and was a royal knight. The woman was wearing thin, fitted soft armor with only a pair of large, white breastplates on her chest. She was a golden knight belonging to the church.

Because her ability to discern character was insufficient to identify the data panels of these two individuals, Loria rationally deduced that they possessed at least the strength of B-rank adventurers.

The possibility of him being an A-rank is extremely low; there are very few A-rank adventurers in the entire empire.

The two knights sat down one after the other. They were efficient and got straight to the point after exchanging greetings.

"Before I begin my formal inquiry, I need to confirm once again that you did indeed return from Clarence City, right?"

The president nodded expressionlessly.

"Alright, I have some questions I need to ask you."

The black-armored royal knight began asking questions, mainly about the current situation in Clarence, what the assassins of the Hidden Leader had done, whether they had discovered anything unusual, and what the situation was like in Stream Town.

Aside from not mentioning his dramatic increase in strength, the guild leader truthfully recounted his entire experience from Stream Town to Clarence City.

"Vita, the reporter from the travel newspaper? I'll send someone to investigate."

"We will deal with the mad and indulgent goddess you mentioned who is recruiting believers as soon as possible."

"Although you don't know much about the Hidden Leaders either, telling us that they have the ability to regenerate severed limbs is a great help to us."

The talks went more smoothly than expected.

As evening approached, the two knights declined to stay the night and rose to say goodbye.

As they reached the door, Loria suddenly called out to the golden knight.

"Miss Knight, may I ask you something?"

"go ahead."

"On my way to the territory of Earl Lydalia, I passed through a small town where the statue of the goddess suddenly cracked. May I ask about the follow-up to this?"

Miss Golden Knight said "Oh," and then added, "You mean that matter? It was just an accident caused by years of disrepair. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After Loria expressed her gratitude, the Golden Knight quickly caught up with the Black-Armored Royal Knights ahead.

They walked side by side in silence for more than ten miles when the Golden Knight suddenly stopped and said to his companion, "I have something I need to confirm. You go ahead."

"it is good."

The black-armored royal knight agreed without any further ado.

Ultimately, he and the Golden Knight were just passing by. They were not from the same place, their ultimate goals were different, and they didn't even know each other. So, they parted ways without much further explanation.

After the black-armored royal knights had gone far away, the golden knight walked straight back with a sullen face.

On the way here, she finally figured out what that disgusting aura she felt at Count Lydalia's house was.

"That house is hiding one or more heretics!"

These are turbulent times, and the Golden Knight feels he cannot ignore any unusual occurrences.

She moved quickly and arrived at the Earl's mansion in no time.

With her abilities, she could easily avoid everyone's gaze. She walked on the rooftop, her eyes sweeping over each servant.

That unpleasant smell lingered, even filling the entire house.

Because of this, she was unable to quickly determine the source of the aura; she had to confirm it one person at a time.

Half an hour later, the Golden Knight's gaze fell on the house in the very center, where the Earl's family lived.

At this time, Count Lydalia was in his study, his wife was in the dining room, his eldest daughter and her close friend were in the bathroom, his second daughter was in the music room, and there were more than a dozen maids in the house in addition to the five of them.

"This is the place with the strongest aroma."

The Golden Knight's eyes gradually sharpened.

The lady in the restaurant, no.

The second daughter in the music room, no.

So……

The Golden Knight's gaze had just fallen on the frosted glass window of the bathroom when the study window not far away opened, and Count Lydalia, who always had a cold face, leaned out of the window.

Why did Miss Golden Knight suddenly appear on my roof?

"!"

The Golden Knight's breath hitched, and his heart almost stopped beating.

It was discovered!

She looked around but didn't see any hidden magic circles or magical items on the roof.

This means that Count Lydalia found her through his own abilities.

So, just how strong is Count Lydalia?

Cold sweat rolled down his chin. After hesitating for a moment, the Golden Knight jumped through the window into the study.

"So, can you answer my question now?"

Count Lydalia had returned to his dark brown chair, his hands clasped together, chin resting on his hands, and his legs crossed, exuding an imposing aura.

The Golden Knight, who had absolutely no idea what he was up to, couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Are we going to be silenced?

For a moment, only the ticking of the clock on the wall could be heard in the dimly lit room.

The tolling of the bell was like a war drum, striking the Golden Knight's heart again and again, until she finally couldn't help but tell the truth.

"The aura of heretics?"

Count Lydalia suddenly stood up and took a statue from the cabinet next to him.

Is this what you mean?

The black and gold demon clown statue is incredibly lifelike, especially the small horn between its eyebrows, which looks like a thorn stuck in the heart.

"This is……"

“Sacred artifacts, heretical sacred artifacts, are demonic artifacts in your eyes.”

Count Lydalia spread his five fingers, and the demon clown statue standing in his palm seemed to be freed from its restraints and suddenly came to life.

The Golden Knight immediately took a few steps back, and only after the chattering sounds in her ears subsided did she regain her senses.

"I found this at the sergeant school."

The Golden Knight immediately realized: "You mean the time when Adeline had an accident?"

"Yes."

“I must report this to the church. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t use the heretical magic weapon to harm others, the church will not harm you for possessing it.”

Please make yourself at home.

Count Lydalia put the statue back in the cabinet.

Seeing that the Golden Knight was in a dilemma, he said, "If you want to leave, then leave. I won't stop you."

"Sorry to bother you."

After uttering those words, the Golden Knight jumped out of the window.

Only after her breath had completely disappeared did Count Lydalia stand up again. He pushed open the door of the study and left, stopping at the door of the large bathroom.

He knew very well that the heretic's aura did not come from the demon clown statue, so it could only be from Adeline.

But he couldn't let that golden knight target Adeline, so he had to step forward and take the blame himself.

Who could blame him when Adeline was his most cherished daughter?

Moreover, the key issue now is not that, but that Adeline may have already been targeted by that unknown god.

Count Lydalia waited quietly for a full twenty minutes before the chairman finally pushed open the door and came out.

"?"

The chairman was filled with questions as he faced his father standing at the door.

"Let's talk."
