Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!-Chapter 659 - Bringing Panic to the Church of Lumienere
Instead of turning around, I walked quickly away from the training grounds. I clearly heard the flurry of activity behind me as several sets of footsteps chased after me. I turned towards a corner out of their sight then teleported towards one of the smaller gazebos that I saw inside the garden, one that looked less visited.
I sat on one of the mats and stretched my feet comfortably, waiting for someone to find me in this little hide and seek game I started. I can hear people running around the area I was in and I can clearly hear voices saying that there was a female intruder peeking at the paladin’s bodies at the training grounds.
I almost laughed out loud as they are more concerned with me seeing their naked upper bodies than the fact that I entered their territory and roamed around undetected all this time. Eventually, I heard more people looking for me as the acolytes, deacons, priests and even attendants have been woken up with the commotion and was called for help. As to why I know what position they have in the church, I was peeking through a small gap in the gazebo’s curtains and observing them then compared it to the information I have received from several sources.
As I checked for the time based, it is already around 7 in the morning now and the whole territory is busy looking for me instead of preparing breakfast. While I was just chilling in the gazebo amidst the panic, a loud voice boomed across the gardens asking, "What is all this commotion about?!"
It was louder and sounded firmer than usual but that voice is very familiar to me. I immediately thought, "So he can actually speak louder and sound angry". All the flurry of footsteps and the noise stopped with that one question. Everybody was so surprised that nobody answered even after several seconds has passed.
Just when someone was about to answer, the person suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his sentence as if he was told to shut up. I then heard a slow set of footsteps approaching the gazebo where I was hiding. He actually sensed me, didn’t he?
When he was just about a few steps from the entrance to the gazebo I was hiding in, he sighed heavily then I heard him give some instructions to the panicked crown. The instructions were simple: "Somebody call the pope and the elders. Tell them that our long awaited guest is already here. And also, somebody start preparing breakfast. Make it a little grander because we have a visitor."
With that, I heard several gasps and then they started running away from the gazebo into the direction of the main temple to heed his instructions. As for the person who instructed the crowd, he calmly took a step inside the gazebo then immediately looked then turned towards the place where I was seated and hiding.
He was wearing normal clothes at this time and not the priests’ clothes I usually see him in whenever we meet. It did not decrease how good he looked anyways. It felt quite refreshing actually. I honestly felt a little weird with him wooing me while wearing priest garbs. Most religions back on earth don’t allow priests to marry.
His eyes widened as our eyes met again after several weeks of being apart and then he suddenly ran towards my direction like an excited puppy. Without warning, he dove to where I was.
YES, HE DOVE INTO ME. I immediately opened my arms to catch the fool.
He bumped on to me so hard that if I was a normal human, I would have been unconscious after the air gets knocked out of me from the impact. I used a spell to cushion his fall as I knew that he would be the one who would end up hurt from the impending impact.
Once he was in my arms, he buried his face on to my shoulder and murmured, "I was so nervous all this time. I was so scared that you would end up changing your mind and decide not to come here anymore. I am so scared that you don’t want me anymore."
I tapped his back to calm the guy down as well as ruffled the hair at the back of his head. I am just glad he is not the crybaby type at least. Those types are harder to coax.
After a few minutes, he finally let go of me and grabbed my hand. He started pulling me out of the gazebo saying that he will tour me around. I chuckled and told him that I have been going around the whole territory for more than an hour already.
He looked back at me with wide eyes and then he furrowed his brows. He sighed and asked, "So you were really peaking at the paladins earlier?"
I gasped and dramatically defended myself then replied, "I heard sounds of fighting so I thought that was weird since this is a church. I got curious and went to the location where I heard those sounds. It is not my fault that they are training with no upper clothing on, right?"
He opened his mouth to try and contradict what I said but then he closed it back up. I laughed at his reaction because he knew that I did not mean to see them partially naked.
He continued pulling my hand towards the direction of the main temple. He said that since I have already gone around on the outside area, he will tour me on the inside areas instead.
The invite then eventually changed after him touring me to the prayer halls, dining area, library, study areas and even the kitchens. Eventually, he started pulling me to the directon of his room so I know where he stays whenever he is here.
In modern times, this should be an obvious invite to do something shady, you know? I do not think it is any different in meaning as for this world either. This priest is still clueless about these things, huh?
