Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 425 - 17 - The Knowledge About Sacred Place Mark
Duchess Kaori, Jeanne, and Furina, prostrated themselves in front of me.
With their attitude and behavior of respecting me as the Monarch of Holy Destruction like this, I must accept the respect of those who are prostrating themselves before me.
The row of knights on horseback who were still riding their horses also dismounted after hearing my loud words and seeing Duchess Kaori, whom they were escorting, prostrate herself in front of me.
The six mysterious guests who were dragged out by Jeanne and Furina also kowtowed after learning my true identity. No matter how I look at it, they almost committed reckless actions in the sacred territory of the Goddess of Destruction. The divine punishment they received still saved their lives, curbing the bad intentions of those who wanted to harm Jeanne and Furina in their wooden house.
Some of the horses ridden by the knights also lowered their heads, as if understanding that I was a representative of the Goddess who was carrying out the sacred duties of a Goddess.
Seeing that the situation would not be resolved with this respect, I took a deep breath and glanced at Momo, who was still flying low beside me.
"If it’s like this, it looks like it will difficult to revoke the status of a sacred place blessed by the Goddess of Destruction," Momo whispered as she put the sharp blade of her cursed Odachi into its sheath.
Srreessshhh...
Ctttaakkk...
"Yes, you’re right, Momo. This will be a long-lasting problem if I don’t explain it in detail to Duchess Kaori and several key individuals who assist her in managing her territory. She’s also already having trouble dealing with the plant monsters that always attack her territories at any time," I replied while whispering to Momo and approaching Duchess Kaori slowly.
With light, relaxed steps, I approached Duchess Kaori, who was still prostrate before me, her forehead pressed firmly against the ground. Her cheeks were drawn back, baring her teeth, like someone desperate and willing to do anything to fulfill her selfish desires.
For now, I can guess that Duchess Kaori’s wish is for the status of a sacred place that will make this old castle town area safe from plant monster attacks, and she can focus on taking care of other work that is not related to defending this old castle town from monster attacks.
"This feels awkward..."
"Would you like to come inside to talk about this?" I asked Duchess Kaori, pointing toward Jeanne and Furina’s house.
Talking to someone who was prostrating in front of me felt uncomfortable and strange.
I’m not really used to that...
After saying that, I immediately walked towards Jeanne and Furina’s house.
"You two come too, Jeanne... Furina..."
"Because you two will take care of this sacred place as my representative, while I’m out doing my other tasks," I said briefly while continuing to walk towards the house where Jeanne and Furina lived.
Tap...
Tap...
As I stepped into Jeanne and Furina’s simple wooden house, I could hear the cute whispers of the six uninvited guests.
Essentially, they were simply caught up in a trivial matter. A matter that wouldn’t have occurred if a fat noble weren’t arrogant and hiding behind the name of a noble with higher rank.
It makes me wonder, did Mio also do the same thing as that fat male noble?
I mean... did Mio also use my name as a threat to someone?
For example, would I be angry if Alice or Alyssa didn’t do their jobs seriously while I was away to take care of important matters like this, then Mio using my name to threaten them to do their tasks?
That can’t be happening, right?
Or did it already happen after I was away for quite long time from the ongoing military expedition location?
I’ll get the report later, after I get back home from this sudden, important matter.
My footsteps come Jeanne and Furina’s wooden house, entered the living room, and sat on a sofa intended for one person.
Sruusshh...
Sitting on the sofa intended for one person, I watched Duchess Kaori enter with two women. They entered this simple living room awkwardly after prostrating themselves in front of me.
I quickly snapped my fingers to open my magic storage box, taking out some sweet cake and a cup of premium tea that was quite expensive at the Yurification Shop.
Snap!!
I’ve accumulated enough points for purchasing items in the Yurification Shop to allow me to purchase premium items without worrying about the potential losses. This is all thanks to my twin sister, who sneaks into my bed every night and engages in physical contact that generates Yurification Points.
Thanks to that, I’m rich enough to be able to buy all kinds of things at the Yurification Shop without worrying about the high prices, for the items that come from another world.
I don’t know what other world it came from, but it was good enough to meet my personal needs.
The small table in front of me was immediately filled with various sweet treats and cups of premium tea, already in teacup and can be drink without problem.
Sometimes I feel amazed by the blessings given by my Goddess, with such blessings, I’m sure she’ll gain many followers to worship her.
However, she actually feels disgusted by having too many followers, in contrast to other Goddesses who prefer to be worshipped by their large followers.
[ If I do that, Lily-chan will definitely live in the Shrine and be busy taking care of my worshippers. ]
[ If I stay like this, then I can focus on observing Lily-chan all the time, and that will be more than enough. ]
[ I also don’t want Lily-chan to be busy and exhausted from fulfilling my command. ]
[ Lily-chan is also busy to completing the request from another Goddess, right? ]
[ Like a request from the Goddess of Nature. ]
That’s true if I think about it more deeply...
The Goddess of Nature’s task isn’t finished, and my problems with the heretical sect remain unsolved. As long as such problems persist, how can I possibly survive as someone who dedicates myself to living within the Shrine and caring for the Goddess’s worshippers?
Besides being a hassle, I would also feel bored...
[ Ugh!! Lily-chan’s honesty still hurts my heart as much as usual. ]
[ Therefore, I kept quiet to not be too well known in the mortal world and chose a cute Saintess, so that I could tease her every day. Teehe~ ]
"So that’s why I was chosen to be your Saintess and get tease every days, huh?" I said in a low voice without moving my lips.
[ Yes, that’s how it is... ]
[ I would rather feel close to my own Saintess than have to deal with fanatical followers, as the Goddess Aurora did. ]
While waiting for Duchess Kaori and her two companions to sit on the sofa, I spoke to my goddess, who always spoke at inappropriate times. It was as if she were observing my daily life from somewhere.
I feel happy about that though...
As long as my Goddess doesn’t record my daily life for other Goddesses to see.
[ Oooppss... ]
I was just complaining about it, but it seems like it already happened, and my daily life has been recorded to be shared with other Goddesses.
Just realizing that, I don’t know how to respond to this Goddess of mine.
Srrusshh...
Duchess Kaori sat on the sofa with two women accompanying her. Unlike my first encounter with her, where she was surrounded by professional bodyguards, she was now accompanied by several women who always assisted with her duties.
I could see gold pins attached to their collars, indicating their high standing in Duchess Kaori’s domain. Such gold pins were typically worn by talented individuals who had been entrusted to assist the Head of the Family in managing their domain.
In the noble family of Marquess Rommel himself, only Sebastian wore such a gold pin as the Head Butler who always served beside my father.
I can assure, the two women who accompanied Duchess Kaori have the same intelligence and knowledge as Duchess Kaori.
"So, regarding this òld castle town as a sacred territory of the Goddess of Destruction, do you truly reject this, Kaori?" I asked her in a casual, informal tone. Without using the title Duchess in front of her name, I tried to talk about the matter more casually and not dwell too much on what had happened previously.
"D-Don’t be like that, my Master. Y-You’re tease me to much..." Duchess Kaori said while puffing out her cheeks and trying not to be too tense when talking to me.
"Ehh... didn’t you deny it? You said that there was a strange object floating above the sky of the old castle town. If that object is too strange to be floating as a mark of the sacred territory of the Goddess of Destruction, then the only reasonable reason at this time would be to revoke the status of this old castle town as a sacred territory," I said in a calm tone and teased Duchess Kaori even further.
"That’s so mean, you know! I had no idea that sacred place were marked that way! It’s completely different from the sacred place of the Aurora Shrine!" Duchess Kaori grumbled as she compared the sacred place of the two different goddesses.
"Really? Then... What is the sacred territory of the Goddess Aurora marked by?" I asked about the sacred territory of the Goddess Aurora.
"..." Duchess Kaori looked stunned after hearing my words and tried to think hard about the sacred territorial marks in the Aurora Goddess Shrine.
"U-Uuhh... Uhmm... There is a dragon spirit, I guess?" Duchess Kaori continued, tilting her head, unsure of the answer.
"Zoe..." Hearing such a ridiculous answer, I called Zoe to come out from behind my head.
"If a dragon spirit became a sacred mark that has made the Shrine of the Goddess Aurora as the sacred territory of the Goddess Aurora, then the residence of Marquess Rommel has become a sacred territory by a spirit butterfly that is far more powerful than the spirits of those heavenly dragons," I continued while showing off the butterfly spirit that had formed a contract with me.
Zoe’s appearance from the hair on the back of my head made Duchess Kaori lower her head.
"Uuuhh... y-you’re right," said Duchess Kaori while lowering her head.
"I had already suspected this. If the Aurora Goddess Shrine had become a sacred place, there would definitely be no fake Saintesses wandering around the Aurora Goddess Shrine and would immediately receive divine punishment from the Goddess Aurora, for claiming to be her chosen Saintess," I said while explaining what I knew.
If the Shrine of the Goddess Aurora became a sacred place that was under the protection of the blessings and divinity of the Goddess Aurora, it was certain that the identity of the fake Saintess would be revealed, and Hana, as the real Saintess, would become the only Saintess in the Aurora Kingdom.
I’m sure something like that will happened...
And I don’t really want to get involved in that one...
