Chapter 92 (2/2)
Acerus spoke in his heart.
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
Lara had a dream. It was a dream in which the God of Fate appeared and begged her to come to the sanctum to visit him. With that mysterious and sacred voice of his, he whined that he had something to say, and because of that, she should come to the sanctum and listen to him.
“It was such a vivid dream.”
As soon as she opened her eyes, Lara chuckled.
“What kind of dream?”
Konny asked, drawing back the curtain. Lara said, trying to pull herself together in the blanket.
“God asked me to visit him in his house.”
“I guess he has no friends.”
“Huh? Is that so?”
There were dozens of known Gods worshipped in the Temple of Glory. If all those Gods were with the God of Fate, there was no way that he would be friendless.
“I will go and ask him.”
“Are you going to the temple?”
“God appeared in my dream. How can I just ignore him? For today, I just have an appointment with Crown Prince Acerus. So I will stop at the sanctum later.”
“Milady, can I go out with Valentine then? We will be back by evening.”
“Okay.”
Konny was excited and shrugged her shoulders. Valentine was converting part of his shop into a laboratory, where after completion, he was going to build a few more long-distance magic receivers.
“Demian, are you awake?”
Lara went to Demian’s room and called out to him. But, rather than Demian, Lampion was the one who came out. He opened the door with a sleepy expression on his face. He flinched his large body after looking at Lara and smiled awkwardly.
“Good morning.”
“Did you all sleep in?”
“Well, we ran here all night long…”
“I want to tell you to rest more but I’m afraid Crown Prince Acerus is waiting.”
“Okay.”
Lampion readily nodded. Then, with messy hair and a greasy face, he brutishly put on a coat and came out with a weapon. Lara told him to get ready quickly so they would not be late but he seemed to have understood that she meant to come out quickly.
Fortunately, Domino, Oscar, and Demian still looked moderately organized. The three people who came out belatedly frowned at Lampion one after another.

Acerus came out of the Crown Prince’s castle and greeted them.
“Welcome!”
Although he omitted the word ‘saintess’, Acerus served Lara the most politely among her group.
“Your Imperial Highness, thank you for inviting me here.”
“No, it must have been troublesome for you to come here. By the way, you brought three more Barbarians here.”
“Yes, you have met them before, right?”
Acerus smiled awkwardly. He greeted Domino, Lampion, and Oscar, but Oscar was the only one who answered.
“Hello. How have you been? It’s been a while.”
“Are Domino and Lampion still like that?”
“Yes, it’s better to just keep their mouths shut. I gave my greetings thrice so let’s move on.”
“Yeah… You cunts are still the same.”
Acerus, who had been talking without hesitation as usual, looked at Lara. However, her gaze was facing somewhere else.
All the knights who wore the armor helmet of the Crown Prince’s castle were staring at them. No matter how hard they tried to hide it, it was useless. Their disapproving gazes toward Demian and the Barbarians, their unpleasant attitude, everything was so clearly embedded in her mind.
“It’s okay.”
Demian approached her and whispered. Lara shook her head slowly.
“It is not okay.”
“Lara.”
“If it weren’t for the Barbarians, they would have probably died an untimely death on the battlefield.”
Lara’s voice was loud. All the eyes of the knights guarding the Crown Prince’s castle gathered to her this time. Vicious energy flowed from them.
“The hell are you doing?!”
How dare they stare at the saintess?
Acerus screamed in surprise. All the knights bowed down to him and admitted they had done wrong.
Instead of understanding and moving on, Lara raised her chin arrogantly and spoke to the Tarragon’s knights.
“Don’t stare at me like that. If you’re jealous, just say it.”
She smirked.
“It’s not a sin to be weak.”
Acerus got the hiccups.
