Because she had no money to ride a Carriage, Wilona took more than an hour to return to the vicinity of Deya City.
In order to stand up for Little Mist, with the Beast God backing her, she was now terrifyingly strong!
However, when Wilona had just walked out of the Mist, she regretted it deeply, because she noticed she was still wearing a Mist Employee’s uniform.
…
With every step she took, the tightly wrapped thigh beneath her high-slit Priest Robe, covered by black suspender stockings, was exposed.
If she swung her arms even slightly too much, her smooth side would also show.
So she instantly attracted the eyes of passersby.
Add Wilona’s Cat Ears, which she was not hiding at all, and within no time, the passersby had a very deep impression of her:
“Cat Ears… are they decoration or real ears?”
“A Priest Robe style I’ve never seen before, and it feels much cuter than what we have locally…”
“Huh? Isn’t she the one working in the Mist?”
…
Listening to everyone whispering about her, on the way to Deya City, Wilona blushed and gritted her teeth inwardly:
“Oh no, I came out too hastily and didn’t notice I’m still wearing this outfit, and I don’t even have money to ride a Carriage, meow!”
Her money was all in her original set of clothes.
Going back would waste too much time, so now she had no choice but to brace herself and keep walking carefully.
Wilona deliberately slowed down so her movements would not be too large.
Otherwise, being looked at with surprised gazes by passersby all the time was truly a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, she had trained in the Mist earlier and raised her shame threshold a little…
Moreover, Wilona also knew that basically no one here knew her.
At most, they would just take her for a Beastmen wearing a strange Priest Robe.
She refused to believe that this poor place, Deya City, had anyone who knew her, the little daughter of Queen Vira of the Northern Empire. Hmph!
However, just as Wilona arrived at the City Gate of Deya City’s south gate and passed through a carriage convoy loaded with goods but wrapped tightly, preparing to go through inspection and enter, the tip of her Cat Ear was suddenly lightly tapped by someone behind her.
“Who?” Wilona instinctively turned back and put on a fierce expression. Which death-defying bastard dared to touch her Cat Ears?!
“It’s me.” The person who touched Wilona’s ear tip answered with a trace of joy and curiosity.
The next second, Wilona stared wide-eyed at this person:
“Fourth… Fourth Sister?!”
The one who touched Wilona’s ear tip was none other than the fourth daughter of Queen Vira of the Northern Empire, Wilona’s Fourth Sister, Vian.
Vian resembled Wilona by seventy percent, but compared to Wilona, who was like a kitten, the adult Vian was taller and more slender, dressed more maturely.
Before her jewel-like purple eyes, she wore a pair of delicate glasses.
Only her Cat Ears were a little smaller than Wilona’s. She had the complete air of a scholar.
Vian moved her Cat Ears and said in surprise, covering her mouth:
“I never expected to run into you here. Aren’t you about to start school? Why are you still wandering more than 1000 kilometers away from the Academy? Be careful, or Mother will scold you. Also, what is going on with this outfit?”
Vian unhesitatingly stepped forward and started pulling at her younger sister’s clothes.
This left Wilona at a loss, and Vian only pulled more and more enthusiastically:
“Oh my, it’s a Priest Robe style I’ve never seen before, and the fabric feels a bit thin…”
“Stop!” Wilona immediately gritted her teeth, pushed Vian away, and stepped back to keep a proper distance.
She seemed to have become a bit bristly. Blushing, she hurriedly asked:
“Sister, why are you here, meow?!”
Damn it, why did her family have to see her like this… At this moment, Wilona’s mood was as awkward as a virgin doing the deed at the final moment, only to suddenly have his family check the room and then perform stutter-steps in front of them.
“This, huh…” Vian still unabashedly admired Wilona and answered:
“Mother called me here. I don’t know why, but she suddenly showed intense interest in this small City on the Silvia Border, so she told me to come take a look and said I should focus on learning about the Mist of Calamity and such.”
“And you just came here like that, meow?”
“Yes, just like that. Although I don’t know what Mother is thinking, she must have her reasons for doing this. And Mother rarely used an ultra-long-distance Portal to send me and Aunt Vieno directly here. Anyone could guess there must be something important in Deya City.”
“Wait, Aunt Vieno is here too, meow?!” Wilona felt as if facing a great enemy.
“Yes. Right now she is negotiating with the Enforcers of Deya City so we can go directly to see the Ninth Saintess here. She will be back soon, and it’s perfect…”
Vian narrowed her eyes and looked at Wilona’s slit robe:
“Let Aunt see your cute Priest Robe too. She will definitely like it!”
“Absolutely not, meow!”
Wilona refused decisively and directly.
Then, ignoring Vian, who had suddenly appeared here, she forced her way through the checkpoint at the City Gate and escaped into Deya City.
It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?! To actually meet her Fourth Sister and Aunt Vieno in this remote place! And her current appearance had been seen by Fourth Sister…
Fortunately, the only blessing in misfortune was that currently only Vian had seen her.
Later, Wilona could at least use a little benefit to shut her mouth.
But Aunt Vieno was different. She was Nine-Rank, with very high standards.
Wilona could not bribe her at all.
And later, if she found out that Wilona had been working in the Mist wearing this Priest Robe, she would definitely gloat and spread the matter throughout the entire Family!
By then, Wilona would lose face completely. After returning, everyone would be gossiping:
‘Hey, did you hear? Wilona is secretly working in the Mist in a sexy Priest Robe. Should we go support her and give some spending money?’…
No, absolutely not. She could not let this happen!
So, in order to keep Vieno from seeing her like this, Wilona mustered all her strength and rushed at full speed toward the Church of the Goddess of Life, where Truth was.
As long as she kept hiding in the Church of the Goddess of Fate, Fourth Sister and Aunt would not be able to find her!
Meanwhile, the Soldier responsible for inspection at the City Gate only glanced at Wilona’s back, then very calmly looked at his Captain:
“Captain, a Priest ran a checkpoint.”
The Captain, who was slacking off nearby, merely waved his hand:
“It’s just a Priest. Maybe she’s in a hurry to save someone. Don’t worry about it so much.”
“Oh.”…
About three minutes later, Vieno, who had finished negotiating with the Enforcers on the city wall, returned to Vian’s side:
“Everything is settled, and I’ve asked what needed to be asked. Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet the Ninth Saintess here. She is currently at the Church of the Goddess of Life resting. Remember, you must not make a scene. Your Mother specifically instructed this. After all, this place, Deya City, is a bit eerie. Also, let me tell you a secret. I heard the Ninth Saintess is especially cute.”
“Hmph hmph. Although I haven’t met her yet, I feel she isn’t as cute as Wilona in her special-style Priest Robe.”
Vian answered cheerfully, then with a wave of her hand, she led the carriage convoy that had been blocking the City Gate slowly into Deya City.
The destination was the Church of the Goddess of Life…
