Chapter 27.1 - A Gentry Banquet Held in Adrian Empire’s Palace (Part 1) (2/2)
Maria and Tiffany rested on Clyde’s left and right. From the moment they descended from the carriage, they intimately hugged Clyde’s respective arms and joined the dance hall like female companions accompanying an illustrious aristocrat family’s young master. The religious rules of this different world’s Light Church were not strict and there were no compulsory commandments. There were no rules forbidding saintesses and other female believers from participating in this kind of aristocrat banquet. Even if the female believer didn’t wear a priest robe or nun attire, there were no problems in participating.
Clyde originally believed that Light Church was open and generous. Later, he would learn that this practice was unrestricted in order to make things convenient for some wicked trades, nothing more. The soft and tactile feeling along with amazing elasticity pressing into his arms pulled Clyde’s attention back to the banquet. Both Maria and Tiffany wore very open formal evening wear. Their fragrant smooth shoulders and exquisite collarbones were clearly exposed. In addition, large swathes of their snowy white skin were visible. A section of their soft and white breasts rested on Clyde’s arm without any defenses.
Maria wore golden formal evening wear and a necklace with a very large gem resting on her chest. Tiffany wore purple formal evening wear in the same style, down to the gem necklace she wore. They must have chosen their formal evening wear together.
Clyde could smell distinct perfumes from their bodies. Maria had a simple but elegant fragrance, different from the perfume Tiffany used, which was a stronger fragrance. From the moment they emerged from the carriage, Clyde sensed many envious gazes. Alas, he could do little about them. Who asked him to have such beautiful saintesses beside him? It seemed that Maria and Tiffany planned to let other men have no more illusions about them by heavily implying that they shouldn’t be disturbed since they were already were intimate with Clyde. Such close contact was comparable to sweethearts passionately in love.
After their initial test in the carriage, they had determined that Clyde wasn’t that kind of scoundrel who took cheap advantage of others, so the guards of these two saintesses against Clyde had lowered. They absolutely didn’t feel like their current actions would tempt the other party to commit a crime. Clyde also didn’t have any particular thoughts about them. After his intimate contact with Valkyrie Cynthia and Princess Saras for several days, he didn’t care much about these kinds of matters.
Although he was a law-abiding white-collar worker before crossing into this world, now, he didn’t completely restrain himself according to his previous ideas. Moreover, his current identity was already not good. As a Great Old One, he was a thoroughly evil existence. Maria and Tiffany were still entirely unaware that this person beside them was very dangerous.
“Saintess Maria, Saintess Tiffany, welcome to the banquet. This gentleman, how should I address you?”
“Your Majesty Joseph, Clyde is… is a bosom friend of Bishop Nichols, one of our Light Church’s high-level members.”
“Ho, he turns out to be a bosom friend of Bishop Nichols. Welcome! Please come over here please. The reserved seats for Light Church are over there.”
Prince Joseph, refined and courteous, was a handsome blond guy. Smiling, he greeted guests at the entrance of the palace. After seeing Clyde’s party, the prince was somewhat surprised. According to his impressions, Maria and Tiffany, these two saintesses had always claimed to be single so intimately hugging a man’s arm like this was truly unexpected.
However, Prince Joseph didn’t concern himself with Light Church’s internal affairs. Since Clyde was a bosom friend of Bishop Nichols, the person in charge of his empire’s Light Church branch, he didn’t continue to question them. He directly pointed out the Light Church’s section reserved for Clyde’s party.
