When Yumo saw Gaslin suddenly use an artifact to attempt an escape, she felt joy.
After all, Once these Church Nation knights had their attention drawn by him, she might have a chance to escape in the chaos. Unfortunately, Gaslin was too incompetent. Before even half a minute had passed, his escape plan ended in failure, leaving Yumo quite disappointed.
Damn useless fellow.
Therefore, Yumo had no choice but to start thinking again about how to extricate herself from this predicant and escape this awkward situation.
And just as the girl was pondering, an unexpected cry of shock suddenly reached her ears, causing Yumo to be stunned.
"Empress Consort, Your Highness?!!"
Huh?
What?? Empress Consort, Your Highness?
This form of address, unfamiliar yet slightly familiar, caused Yumo to instantly furrow her brows, and her thoughts imdiately returned to reality. Then, she saw a scene that left her dumbfounded.
At this mont, The man in blue who had just been stern-faced, fierce, and seemingly wanting to strangle her had already respectfully released his hand that was gripping her neck.
This seemingly powerful leader of the silver-armored knights unexpectedly abandoned his dignity as a strong individual and knelt on one knee, displaying a posture of submission towards her.
Not only Haiying, His Silver Arrowhead subordinates, after being stunned for a few seconds, also knelt on one knee, lowering their usually proud heads in unison. As for Gaslin’s subordinates, under the sharp gazes of the Silver Arrowhead knights, they had no choice but to kneel and submit as well.
In an instant, Yumo, who had just been a prisoner, suddenly beca an existence that the high-ranking mbers of the Church Nation needed to kneel and pay respects to. The reversal was so fast that Yumo couldn’t react at all.
Moreover,
"Em-Empress Consort, Your Highness?"
This form of address?
Uh...
In the ti since returning to the continent, Yumo naturally knew that the Church Nation was searching for her whereabouts with all their might. She also knew that ngxi had arranged an identity of "Empress Consort" for her. Although she had long been aware of it, when hearing others address her as "Empress Consort", Yumo still couldn’t help feeling embarrassnt.
Well, Although she and ngxi were quite close a few years ago and had done many things they should or shouldn’t have done, she ultimately didn’t agree to beco her wife! How could he arbitrarily arrange the title of Empress Consort for her?
Isn’t this openly telling the world that she is her possession?!
That bastard, Too presumptuous...
Yumo pouted her lips and complained discontentedly in her heart.
Huh? Wait? Why did they suddenly call Empress Consort? Aren’t I currently using that artifact...?
In her confusion, the bewildered Yumo glanced at the shield of a certain silver-armored knight from the corner of her eye. From its reflection, Yumo was surprised to find that although the aura of the powerful Shadow Power was still suppressed by her, the disguise effect brought by the Deception Veil had been dispelled at so unknown point. Right now, she had long returned to her usual appearance.
A black and red gradient long hair was dancing in the wind.
Speaking of which,
That fellow just now seed to have used an item called the Heart of Tranquility to dispel the effects of artifacts? Right, the Deception Veil is also a type of artifact. It looks like I was inadvertently affected by it.
Glancing at the artifact ring on Haiying’s ring finger with complex emotions, the slow-reacting Yumo sighed with mixed feelings.
"Sigh..."
Exposed, huh?
I really didn’t expect that my secret infiltration plan would co to an end before even a day had passed.
What should I do next?
Staring at the Church Nation powerhouse Haiying who was respectfully saluting her, Yumo raised her hand to her chin and began to ponder.
On the other side, Haiying, the Church Nation Wing kneeling before Yumo, also had complex emotions.
Finding the long-lost Empress Consort, undoubtedly made his heart elated. Infected by the feeling of wild joy, this Church Nation Wing, who usually maintained a solemn expression, couldn’t help but reveal a brilliantly excited smile.
But at the sa ti,
Haiying also felt an unprecedented sense of trepidation.
Although he wasn’t clear about why the Empress Consort would appear in Bishop Gaslin’s dungeon and disguise herself as such an ordinary village girl, his disrespectful actions towards her just now were indeed an indisputable fact.
He not only shouted at the Empress Consort, but even laid hands on her and grabbed her neck?!!
Recalling her pained expression from before, Haiying felt a mont of breathlessness.
As a subject, yet he got rough with Her Majesty’s woman, with the master he should have loyally served?
What is this?!!
This is an act of great betrayal!!!
As Her Majesty’s loyal servant, he actually did such a thing?! It was truly inexcusable!
Clenching his fists tightly, feelings of remorse rapidly spread and expanded in Haiying’s mind.
If he had observed more and inquired more before acting just now, perhaps it wouldn’t have led to such a disrespectful behavior.
Unfortunately, there was no dicine for regret in this world. What had already happened couldn’t be changed. The only thing Haiying could do now... was perhaps to apologize.
Therefore,
Taking a deep breath,
Under the dumbfounded gazes of the Silver Arrowhead subordinates and the black-haired girl, Haiying unhesitatingly abandoned his dignity as a strong individual and slamd his head onto the ground without a second word!
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang, the ground cracked, and the entire castle couldn’t help but tremble a few tis. The surrounding crowd, the guards, and servants in the castle all showed expressions of fear and unease due to this sudden tremor.
"I’m extrely sorry! Your Highness!! This lowly one was disrespectful just now!!"
While kowtowing, Haiying loudly shouted out his words of apology.
"Not being able to recognize you and even speaking rudely to you, laying hands on you! Not only did I insult Her Majesty, but I also frightened your Highness’s delicate body. This lowly one deserves ten thousand deaths!!!
"Please punish , Your Highness!"
"Heh!?..."
Faced with such a sudden and sowhat hardcore dogeza-style apology, Yumo’s brows twitched wildly for a mont, not knowing how to respond.
Yumo’s silence In Haiying’s eyes, was a sign of displeasure.
Therefore, This Church Nation Wing, with a terrified expression, directly turned his head into a pile driver, frantically slamming it against the ground.
In an instant, the earth shook and mountains swayed. As the terrifying tremors spread, the entire castle gradually showed signs of collapsing. While Haiying was kowtowing, words expressing his apology, such as "extrely sorry," poured out of his mouth like a repeating machine.
"I’m extrely sorry, extrely sorry. I’m extrely sorry, extrely..."
The repeated apologies caused multiple "#" symbols to appear on Yumo’s forehead.
Clearly, the black-haired girl was becoming increasingly irritated.
Considering that if this continued, she would inevitably be annoyed to death and the castle would also collapse, Yumo sighed helplessly:
"Sigh, I understand. I won’t hold this matter against you. Can you stop for a mont? If you want punishnt, I’ll give it to you later."
Hearing these words, Haiying abruptly stopped kowtowing and raised his dirt-covered face with wild joy, looking at Yumo excitedly:
"Really?! Your Highness?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Thank you for your magnanimity!"
Haiying lowered his head again and solemnly said.
Then, when he raised his head again, Haiying’s eyes looking at Yumo were already filled with admiration. After all, he had heard Her Majesty talk about this Empress Consort quite a bit before. According to Her Majesty, without the help of this woman/ There wouldn’t be the powerful Her Majesty of today.
Therefore, As soone who admired the Girl of Destiny, he naturally also had deep admiration and respect for this supporter behind Her Majesty.
"By the way, Your Highness, where exactly have you been all these years? We’ve been searching for you for so long but could never find you."
"Uh, about that, I don’t want to discuss it for now."
"I apologize for my presumption."
"It’s fine."
"Right, since Your Highness has returned, please co back to the holy capital Vinati with us!! All these years, Her Majesty has been thinking about you day and night! If she sees that you’ve returned, Her Majesty will definitely be very happy! Please, co back with us, Empress Consort, Your Highness!!"
Haiying suddenly raised his head and looked at Yumo with an extrely expectant gaze.
The Silver Arrowhead knights behind him also cooperated very well, lowering their heads in unison and speaking in one voice:
"Please Your Highness, return to the palace!"
Umm...
Faced with the enthusiastic and expectant gazes of Haiying and the Silver Arrowhead knights, Yumo sighed helplessly.
Originally, her plan was to secretly infiltrate the Church Nation to investigate and et ngxi, but now it seed that this plan had already fallen through. Making people lose their mories wasn’t too difficult, but it would undoubtedly harm their souls and bodies.
From their words and actions, these fellows before her seed to have sincere loyalty towards ngxi.
Yumo didn’t want to harm ngxi’s people.
In that case,
It would be better to change the plan.
