To be on the safe side, she could not afford to be careless in the slightest.
"You can just say it directly, and I won't do anything to you."
Despite saying this, the coldness in the fake saintess's eyes sent a chill down the knight's spine.
"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty. I just didn't react for a moment because I've never heard you give an order to summon Mr. Ye before."
The knight hurriedly explained, afraid that the other party would think he was being disrespectful.
Never heard of it...?
The fake saintess frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Aren't the knights who serve the saint usually by her side? If they aren't allowed to be summoned, how do they meet?
After much thought, the fake saintess came up with one possibility—could it be that the saintess usually went to find the other party herself?
The fake saintess's mind conjured up images of Ella eagerly running to the White Tower every day to find Ye Xiao and go to the council hall, and her expression grew increasingly complicated.
"Reporting to Your Grace, I will immediately go and inform Mr. Ye to come over..."
Seeing that the saintess remained silent, the knight assumed she was waiting for his reply and quickly spoke again.
"Wait a minute."
The fake saintess raised her hand. "You were transferred from Loren, weren't you?"
The knight was somewhat surprised that he was suddenly asked about his background again, but he still answered honestly, "Yes, it is my honor that the Holy Maiden remembers me."
"So, in your opinion... what is my relationship with that servant knight?"
The fake saintess tried her best to appear casual.
She had no choice; she knew the question might arouse suspicion, but she had to find out the truth as soon as possible.
Because she keenly sensed that the relationship between Ye Xiao and the real saintess seemed to be somewhat different from what she had imagined.
If she doesn't understand any of these subtle differences, she'll be essentially self-destructing the moment she meets Ye Xiao.
It all comes down to that damned Rossia family, who had to dump this hot potato on us.
The fake saintess cursed Isabella, the head of the Rossia family, a thousand times in her heart.
"what……?"
The knight, kneeling before the desk, was increasingly bewildered, but seeing the saintess's serious expression, he dared not question the matter.
In the past, when he met the Holy Maiden, he would feel a sense of warmth. But for some reason, the Holy Maiden today did not give him that feeling. Instead, he felt a cold and distant feeling.
However, the knight didn't have time to think about the reason in detail. After considering it for a moment, he replied, "Mr. Ye and you usually seem to have a very good relationship."
"It's just very good?"
"Um, also quite... quite intimate?"
"close……?"
The fake saintess's expression grew increasingly complicated, and she almost blurted out, "What the hell is this?"
"It's...the kind of relationship that's...very much like a romantic relationship?"
The knight's forehead began to sweat. He didn't quite understand what he had done to displease the other party, and the temperature in the room seemed to be dropping.
"Love...love person???"
The fake saintess finally couldn't hold back anymore, "You're saying... he and I are lovers???"
What the hell is going on? A dignified Holy Maiden of Light falling in love with a commoner knight?
The false saint is about to crack.
She wondered if her adopted sister, who was supposed to be a deity, was joking about falling in love with a human.
Seeing that the saintess seemed to be getting angry, the little knight trembled even more.
He didn't know which of his words had offended the other party, and assumed that the Holy Maiden and Mr. Ye had some conflict and were taking it out on him.
But God above, he is just a lowly knight. Your Majesty, you and Mr. Ye have a conflict, please don't drag him into it.
"no……"
The fake saint rubbed her temples, still clinging to a sliver of hope that there might be some misunderstanding and that the truth couldn't be so outrageous.
How did you know... and why do you think we are... lovers?
The young knight's throat trembled. "This... wasn't this what you, Holy Maiden, publicly announced at the family banquet?"
Public announcement?
The fake saintess covered her forehead, a slight blush creeping onto her face.
What the hell?! This Holy Maiden of Light is just too... too shameless!?!
Although she is indifferent to human love and affection, the problem is that she needs to go find that "lover" in a while. How should this be handled?
Does she have to find a way to act like a human and pretend to be a lover with that damned servant knight?
That would be worse than killing her!
How did this Holy Maiden of Light manage to get into this kind of relationship?
The fake saintess felt a splitting headache. She clearly remembered that back in Storm Harbor, the relationships between these people didn't seem so complicated.
"Alright, you...you can go now."
The young knight, relieved to receive the order, left the room, leaving the fake saintess alone, half-lying on a chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, somewhat bewildered.
Chapter 116 A Terrible Performance
Afternoon, the high walls of the holy city.
The heavy snow that began last night is still falling, and the vast open fields outside the city walls are already covered in white snow.
Ye Xiao, holding up his binoculars, stood side by side with the burly Augustus on the wall, gazing solemnly at the large army of white-armored soldiers arrayed around the Boromeo family castle in the distance.
"Judging from the Boromeo family's actions, they're planning to confront us head-on."
"Well, the other party did not accept our negotiations. I'm sorry we were unable to fulfill Her Majesty's wishes."
Augustus sighed.
The thought of possibly going to war with his former colleagues still made him feel a little melancholy.
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
Ye Xiao comforted her.
On the bigger picture, while Ella spent the night in the training grounds scheming against the enemy behind the scenes, and this morning, the Fourth Knights simultaneously dispatched many scouts to gather intelligence on the movements of the Boromeo family.
The temporary new head of the family, Theresa, seems to have a strong desire to fight. With the Second Knights and the Judgment Knights under her control, she looks ready to launch a counterattack on the Holy City soon.
Although the Knights of Judgment buried the traitor Decari, his official position as vice-commander only meant he had many intelligence channels. The entire Knights of Judgment still ultimately followed the Boromeo family.
If we also add the forces of the Rossia family and the Third Knights, the pressure will still be somewhat there.
However, that's not the key point. The most crucial thing is that Ye Xiao always felt there was something fishy about the coup that occurred within the Boromeo family, especially after Ella discovered that there was indeed a mastermind behind it all.
This likely means that the battle between the two armies was a situation deliberately orchestrated by the other side.
"By the way, about the Holy Maiden you just reminded me about, Mr. Ye..."
Augustus then spoke in a low voice, "After that, how should we respond when that fake saintess issues military orders?"
"Don't worry, just do as I say. If any special circumstances require special action, the Holy Maiden will contact you through the Divine Kingdom. I'm telling you this so that you can understand the situation and be careful."
Ye Xiao replied.
"Understood, thank you. Please also convey my thanks to the Holy Maiden."
Augustus nodded.
"no problem."
In this round, Ye Xiao has already reminded several important figures.
Since learning last night that his company was also involved in the incident, he has had some new thoughts.
He thought he might be able to use this to amplify the damage caused by this small loophole in the other party's intelligence, not only to eliminate the enemies of the Holy City, but also to extend it to the company itself hidden behind the scenes.
As Ye Xiao was pondering, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw a young Templar Knight jogging over, bowing to the two of them with his hands clasped in greeting.
"Commander, Lord Ye Xiao."
The young knight reported, "The Holy Maiden has summoned me to the wall."
"Okay, let her come up..."
Augustus said instinctively, then suddenly paused, "Wait a minute, who did you just say was here?"
"Lord Saint..."
The knight repeated it again.
Ye Xiao and Augustus looked at each other in bewilderment.
Both of them were a little surprised. Why did that fake saintess leave the White Tower and come here?
If it were the real Ella, she wouldn't be running around in this snowy weather anyway; her main focus would be on relaxation.
For example, right now, Ella claims to be hiding in secret, but she's actually just sending the message back to her bedroom in the Temple of Loren, where she's happily enjoying her afternoon tea.
Anyway, with Ye Xiao under her command, animal familiars, and a bunch of Templar Knights running errands, she wouldn't budge an inch when it wasn't her business.
However, even though the one who came was a fake saintess, the two of them still had to act respectfully towards her for the time being.
Ye Xiao and Augustus both climbed down from the wall, and sure enough, they saw a Templar carriage, escorted by several Templar Knights, parked by the door above the wall.
"Oh God above, Holy Maiden, I apologize for the poor hospitality. I was unaware that you were coming to inspect the city walls and towers today. The conditions were not good, and we were not prepared."
Augustus knelt on one knee and greeted the carriage with practiced ease.
The fake saintess lifted the curtain on the car window and saw Ye Xiao's familiar face. The image of her being beaten up by him flashed through her mind, and her face fell.
"It's alright, I'm here to see Ye Xiao."
"You came to find me?" Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the other person's cold and arrogant tone contained a hint of gritted teeth when pronouncing his name. Nevertheless, he replied respectfully, "What are your orders, Holy Maiden?"
"You come up first."
The fake saintess lowered the curtain.
Ye Xiao then boarded the carriage and sat opposite the fake saintess.
The wheel hubs began to turn, and the caravan slowly made its way through the streets.
The carriage was quite spacious and comfortable. Ye Xiao sat upright on the soft cushioned sofa, watching the fake saintess in front of him without making a sound, waiting for her to speak.
She must have some purpose in coming to see him at this time.
However, it must be said that this guy used some kind of method to disguise himself, and apart from the difference in expression, he really looks exactly the same as Ella.
If the company really has methods similar to those of the demon Slaanesh, it would indeed be quite troublesome. Replacing Ella this time was easy to solve, but if they were to replace other high-ranking Loren officials to infiltrate the company next time, it would be really difficult for him to identify them.
Ye Xiao gazed at the other person's face as he pondered, while on the other side, the fake saintess kept a straight face, but her mind was filled with inexplicable wild thoughts.
She was about to say something, but when Ye Xiao stared at her, she was taken aback.
What's wrong with this guy's eyes? Why is he staring at her like that?
Has some flaw been discovered?
Or is this the kind of ambiguous look that lovers should have in their eyes?
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, to the point that a slight blush appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but look away.
Damn it, can this guy stop staring at me like that?!
"Lord Saint?"
Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised to see the other person turn their head away.
"Ah, cough."
The fake saintess was brought back to her senses by the shout, and turned her gaze back to the present, "Um... what do you think of the current situation in the Holy City?"
"...I had Orphnoch prepare a report for you this morning."
