56-In the Holy Fountain (1/2)

I'm coming with Sonia to the Sacred Spring.

At the top of the stone stairs, the terrain is wide open, and a circular fountain spreads out before us, hidden by the forest.

Behind the fountain is a huge statue of a goddess with her hands clasped in front of her chest.

The space was filled with serenity.

”Then--let's get started.

And then Sonia said, and began to take off the clothes she was wearing. As she did so, she began to take off her clothes. Her feathers fell away, and her immaculate white garments fell quietly to the ground.

She had no clothes on at all.

The blue light of the crescent moon overhead made her naked body stand out in the darkness.

You're not surprised, are you?

Sonia said, looking at me.

'No. I'm surprised. No, I'm surprised, I'm just not expressing it,” I said. I'm just surprised you're not showing more emotion,” I said.

I'm not too young to be ashamed of my body.

Sonia's body was lean and beautiful.

Her breasts were firm and firm.

Her hands and feet were as sharp as blades.

Her body was toned and free of excess flesh.

She certainly had something to be proud of.

In the moonlight, he was as mysterious as a statue of ice.

”So you're not looking away, are you?

”I'm an escort. I can't take my eyes off Her Royal Highness.

”Hmm. Zeke. You're either a big man, or you're a very dirty man.

Sonia's mouth parted in amusement as she said this.

”You're still good. You are too good to be left as a guard. I want you to swear allegiance only to me as my bodyguard.

”Your Highness. I appreciate the sentiment, but ......

Sonia is fine.

What?

You don't have to call me Your Highness or Light Maiden.

I see, said Sonia.

You will address me by my name from now on. From now on you will address me by my first name, which I do not allow to anyone else.

Thank you, sir.

Come on. Call me by my name.

Yes, sir. Miss Sonia.

”Good.

Sonia smiled a small smile of satisfaction.

”Feast your eyes on my body during the ceremony. It's your privilege.

She said happily and walked towards the fountain.

No, I didn't mean anything like that. .......

In front of a sacred ceremony, such insolent thoughts do not bubble up.

I'm just going to be her bodyguard and see to it that her ritual is completed safely. But I'm sure she was joking, and she knew it.

When Sonia reached the water's edge, she slowly touched her toes to the surface of the spring. When her white skin touched the border of the blue spring, it gently melted and blended with it.

She stood in the center of the spring. She was submerged up to her waist. A gentle arch runs from her neck to her back.

”............

Sonia meditates and clasps her hands together in front of her chest.

The way she prayed to the goddess statue was simply pure.

There is no cloudiness, no stagnation, no superfluous thoughts.

There was only purity and righteousness.

Soon, the body of the praying woman began to glow with a faint light. From the bottom of the fountain, particles of light began to rise.

A swarm of light rising into the sky like fireflies filled the sacred spring.

I gasped at the fantastic sight.

Sonia turned around and looked straight at me. I was impressed by her clear, honest eyes, enveloped in light.

There's still some time before my body is full of power. In the meantime, I'll talk with you to pass the boredom.

If it's all right with you, I'll go with you.

Very well. I like things that are true to me.

Sonia said with a small smile on her lips.

”Zeke. I have a question for you.

What is it?

Why are you willing to risk your life to protect it? Why are you willing to risk your life to protect me, a priestess of light, the Orb of Light, and the people of this city? Are you motivated by the cause of saving humanity? Or is it because it's your job? I'm interested in you as a person.

”That's .......

Why would you risk your life to protect it?

I was about to answer.

I'm protecting the Orb of Light because that's what I'm supposed to do.

”I protect the Orb of Light because it is my mission.

I was born with the blood of a priestess of light, and I had no other choice. My life was predetermined from the moment I was born. When I was placed in a convent at an early age, I was forced to undergo a long period of training to awaken the power of the light priestess.

From the moment she was born, she was destined to live as a priestess of light.

She is forced to live not as Sonia, but as a princess, to fulfill her role as a priestess of light to save mankind from the hands of the Demon King.
