The orange candlelight illuminated the room.

The young girl sat quietly on a wooden chair with her eyes closed, surrounded by three nuns and a knight.

"It's already midnight, Your Highness," the knight said, putting her pocket watch back into her pocket and addressing the Saintess.

"Hmm," Lauri, after deep thought, stood up from the chair and looked at Hilda.

"Hilda, have the knights prepare. Wrap the horse hooves with cloth to muffle the sound, pack provisions and water, and get ready to depart."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Lora, prepare the carriage. Ela, find a pair of shoes that I can wear."

Lauri turned to Nala, who was brimming with anticipation.

"Nala."

"Yes!! Please give me your orders!"

Nala's expression instantly became excited, as if she was receiving a divine oracle, with a devout look on her face.

"You stay here with me."

"..."

Watching Nala's expression go from excited to disappointed in an instant, Lauri couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

Yes, she's full of spirit!

"Wait, Your Highness, why do you need a carriage?"

Hilda received the order and was about to leave the cottage when she heard the Saintess's instructions to the two nuns behind her.

Her heart trembled!

She quickly turned back to look at the Saintess, praying in her heart that it wouldn't be the worst-case scenario she had imagined, and hurriedly asked,

"I will also go."

Lauri could tell from Hilda's expression what she was thinking.

The importance of the Saintess, both to the Saint Church and the Moon State, was self-evident.

As a Temple Knight, she didn't want to go into battle, which was understandable.

But she couldn't just sit here and wait for the outcome.

If they truly lost this war, then the title of the Moon Saintess for this month would mostly be lost as well.

Instead of fleeing in a panic, it was better to give it a try!

"Your Highness, please reconsider!"

Upon hearing Lauri's decision, the female knight quickly knelt down, begging her to withdraw the oracle.

"More words are useless. Knight Hilda, go and prepare."

Lauri glanced at Hilda. In the game, this loyal knight ended up becoming a toy of the Demon race, and after having her limbs severed and being thrown into a group of demonized beasts, she gave birth to countless offspring and was eaten.

This ending was unacceptable.

"Hilda..."

"Your Highness?"

"Don't die. I want you to come back alive."

Hilda froze. She blinked her eyes, and her eye sockets visibly turned red, with a glistening in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I will definitely come back alive, defeat the Demon race, and escort you back to the glorious city!"

"Hmm, go."

Waving her hand, Lauri signaled for Hilda to leave. Although Hilda clearly wanted to say something more, she hesitated for a moment and ultimately chose to follow the orders.

Watching Hilda's departing figure, Lauri took a deep breath and turned to Nala.

"Nala, I'm giving you a challenging task. This task is staking everything on it. Do you have the confidence?"

Nala, who had been looking disappointed, brightened up instantly upon hearing these words. Her eyes became sharp, and she seemed to be filled with energy, instantly revitalized!

"Your Highness, no matter how difficult the task, I have the confidence to complete it! Leave it to me, Nala~"

Lauri nodded and reached behind her, taking out something she had hidden for a long time.Lauri grabbed Nala's hand and placed the long strip of something in her palm. Leaning close to her ear, she whispered something quietly. In an instant, Nala's face turned pale. "Wha--!" Nala's body stumbled back, knocking over the table and chairs behind her. She fell to the ground with a thud. Her emerald green eyes, once filled with vivacity, were now filled with fear. "Can you do it?" Looking at Nala, Lauri, who always calculated the worst-case scenario, had left Nala as her insurance. Nala slowly lowered her head in disbelief, holding a dagger inlaid with gemstones - a dagger that looked incredibly luxurious. "Saint... Princess, do you really want Nala to do this? Nala... Nala dare not!" "No, you dare, among the three of you, only you... have the courage." Within the trio, Lora was the most serious and also the most protocol-conscious; she would never stoop to such actions. Aila, on the other hand, was timid and scared. Although she might dare to do it, there were too many unforeseen risks and it would be unsafe. In the end, Lauri chose Nala before her. Nala was lively in personality, but that didn't mean she was foolish. On the contrary, she was a wise girl who appeared foolish. From her social relationships, Lauri had discerned this and entrusted her with this task. The dagger had been chosen by Lauri from the holy relics in the temple. It was said to have been used by a previous Saintess. It was as sharp as a knife through butter. If she lost, in a situation where suicide was impossible, someone should be able to give her a quick end. Nala was the most suitable. Lauri took a step forward, gently crouched down, and held the trembling hand, staring into Nala's eyes with seriousness. "My child, do not be afraid, do not be afraid, everything is God's arrangement, God has chosen you." Nala sat on the ground, stunned by the words, as if her whole being had been shocked. "Can you do it?" Lauri looked into her eyes, hoping to see a hint of resilience. But all she saw was confusion. Without any nonsense, Lauri directly gave her a buff. [Energized] Feeling the mysterious power within her diminish, Lauri continued to watch Nala. Child, you have been strengthened, hurry and go deliver it. She bit her lip, nodded tremblingly. "I understand, Your Highness. If... if we really lose this time, Nala will accompany you to see God." "Good, you truly are the child chosen by God." Lauri smiled, although she already had a plan in mind, she still prepared for the worst-case scenario out of habit. After comforting Nala for some time, Lora and Aila returned. They sensed something strange in the room but didn't ask due to Lauri's presence. After a while, Hilda came back from outside, looking dusty. "Your Highness, everything is ready!" "When is the time?" "It's nearly half past midnight." Lauri nodded and gave the most crucial order in this mission. "Let's go! Tell everyone that I will follow closely behind!"
