Naga left the orphanage and went to the church. He wanted to investigate further but he decided to finish other tasks first.
”Young noble, please wait for a while. Father Justus is returning.” A servant approached Naga and said.
He nodded at the servant and entered the church. He sat down on one of the chairs and looked at the statue of Saint Piere. After a while, Father Justus arrived and sat down besides Naga.
”Young noble, would you like to visit the Sacred Grail University?” Father Justus asked.
”A request from the Bishop or Sir Lucas?” Naga asked and smiled.
”Both.” Father Justus responded smiling.
”I'll think of it.” Naga answered.
He looked at Father Justus and continued, ”Lillie... what do you know about her, Father?”
”A great man's daughter. She was sent here secretly.” Old Justus answered and sighed.
He continued, ”Why do you want to know, young noble? Be careful talking about it outside the church.”
”I see. Would you mind telling me more information about it?” Naga asked.
Father Justus smiled and said. ”Our Order of the Sacred Scale will help you, young noble. But... why are you asking?”
Naga looked at him and lightly smiled. He looked at the statue of Saint Pierre and said, ”She's my sister.”
Father Justus was surprised so he looked at Naga with wide eyes. He was not able to respond immediately.
”I need to leave. Someone's waiting for me. This scroll, please give this to Sir Lucas. It has the information that Bishop Luciano wanted to know from the respected Elder. Also... please take care of Lillie.” Naga stood up and said smiling.
”I... I see. God bless you, young noble.” Father Justus stood up and said.
He continued, ”I will send all available documents we have about the Ghosthand to you. I will also write information that I personally know and have someone deliver it to your manor. Please take care.”
Naga did not respond but he smiled and lightly bowed. Father Justus looked at the leaving Naga before calling his servants for some tasks.
Naga went to the town's guard post where his carriage is waiting.
”Young sir, are we going back now?” The driver asked.
”Thanks for waiting. Yes, please.” Naga replied and smiled. He entered the carriage and closed his eyes.
When they arrived at the manor, Naga asked a servant about the woman that Draxus found. He was told that the woman is already resting at one of the manor's vacant rooms. He immediately went to the room. He entered and saw that the woman is resting. When the woman noticed Naga, she tried to move her body.
”Don't force yourself.” Naga said.
He looked at the servants and asked them to leave.
”What do you need?” He asked.
”Master, I need your help.” The woman said in a low voice.
”Master?” Naga frowned and asked.
”We... the dragons from the Overlord Mountain were attacked by the High Demons. One of them was so strong. He killed our King. Many sacrificed their lives... and... and I escaped.” The woman said crying. 'Sob.'
'This might seriously get out of hand.' Naga thought to himself.
”Why me? I can't help right now.” He asked.
”You.. you are the Supreme Overlord's chosen... Almost a week ago, our priest told us that a new chosen will rise. I followed her instructions and that is the reason why I was able to find you.” She said.
”Where is your priest?” Naga asked.
'Sob.' The woman cried again and said, ”She died.”
”Okay. Stopped. For now, just rest.” Naga said.
”Master, we need your...” The woman said but she was interrupted.
