Chapter 148 - Artificial blessing (1/2)

[At the headquarters of the church]
[Saintess Rumia point of view]
”So that happen. Just why did mother have to resort doing such a thing” [Ceanu Reaves]
”I thought you had your own intelligence info, guess they don't get you covered on that one” [Saintess Rumia]
”Still, this person, The Behemoth Slayer, I feel bad for him, what should I do?” [Ceanu Reaves]
”Knowing your princess, she must have forced a job or something into him, but...” [Saintess Rumia]
”I know. Based on his strength, shall he decided to go on a rampage, Estel will be severely damage. Princess Diana must have use the orphanage as a mean to keep him in check while providing support to him. I don't know whether The Behemoth Slayer realize it or not but it just doesn't stand right with me, and must be more so for her” [Ceanu Reaves]
”Agree. She out of all people will understand that” [Saintess Rumia]
King Estel and Princess Diana, both of them are trying to drive out the old follower influence from their administration by churning them out, and replace them with reliable people from all over Achalasia.
”Now then, regarding our request” [Ceanu Reaves]
”To send someone from our side to Estel, is that correct?” [Saintess Rumia]
”It is, so is there anyone that comes to your mind?” [Ceanu Reaves]
”There are few sure, but...” [Saintess Rumia]
With the recent even happening around Estel, Malsia and Kiserre, I should send someone reliable. That way, they can provide support for Diana, spread the correct teaching as well as investigating the Achalasia Externa group. Now then, who among them should I send...
(Or...) [Saintess Rumia]
”Saintess?” [Ceanu Reaves]
”Oh, it's nothing. It just that, why I don't come there instead?” [Saintess Rumia]

”I feel like I had been used by you all this while” [Ash]
”True” [Diana]
”Sigh... at least you're honest about it. And before moving on to the meeting, just one last question” [Ash]
”And that is?” [Diana]
”You aren't planning to use those kids for your own benefit aren't you?” [Ash]
I'm sure it's a no, but just to be on a safer side. It comes to no surprise that Qis are about to explode in anger but not that I care
”For now, I won't. Just like you, I wanted the children here in Estel to be nurture and reach their full potential. That's the most important part in ”planting a tree” after all” [Diana]
”Good. At least you aren't wearing any mask when saying that” [Ash]
”Ash! You really have crossed the line now!” [Qis]
”Relax, your princess here doesn't even care about it, but you're right, saying that in front of her own father is a bit rude, so I'm sorry your highness” [Ash]
”Hey! Shouldn't you say sorry to me as well” [Diana]
”Let just move on to the meeting shall we” [Ash]
”True” [King Estel]
”Father! Don't join him!” [Diana]
~Chuckle~
(No wonder the punishment given is not so severe, he is friendly with the princess after all) [Khamishah]
I'm glad that the word nurture really is sincere, coming from the bottom of her heart. Well, she did support us and the orphanage from behind the scene, as well as helping them when I am not here, so I can take her words for that
”Right, I guess we should just tell you about what's happening there first before telling you guys about our finding. I could start with Agnes from Malsia, but at this point you guys already familiar with the story, so it's best I start with the mysterious guy falling from the sky” [Ash]
”During the goblin request?” [Ram]
”Yup” [Ash]
”And why is that?” [Gizzere]
”I'll tell the significance of it later on” [Ash]
And I tell them from the beginning itself. The mysterious falling guy during the goblin subjugation request, how Kronbir say he heard the word angelic transformation, about the Kiserre's guild master illness (which was explained by Khamishah herself), about the curse being put into Queen Rinz, and about the attack on Kiserre's castle and the subsequent follow up
”Huh... so you want to say that from wherever that mysterious guy falls from, that place is a source of the mysterious energy that affect the country knight and noble?” [Diana]
