The Church of Illumination, Second Division.
Inside the church, Alia found the Archbishop of the Second Division, Archbishop Oli.
"Your Holiness, is there something important for you to come here this time?"
Archbishop Oli maintained a smile on his face and asked. Alia had already arrived two hours ago, but he intentionally avoided meeting her until the end, and had no choice but to come out to meet her.
"What were you doing earlier, Archbishop Oli? Were you busy?"
Alia had been waiting for so long, and her mood was not good.
"No, just some trivial matters. But the church prioritizes its believers. I apologize, Your Holiness."
"...."
Since the other party had said this much, Alia had no choice but to say nothing, otherwise she would be violating the teachings of the church.
"I came here to find something. I believe Archbishop Oli knows, right? Didn't you promise to help me find the Holy Water before? Lying is also a violation of the teachings."
Alia used the teachings to pressure the other party.
"Indeed, I did promise before, but what I promised was to try and find it, not necessarily to find it. Your Holiness, I'm sorry, I have tried my best, but Holy Water is extremely precious. The remaining amount in the church is just that little, not enough...."
As Archbishop Oli spoke, he glanced at Alia.
"The church should prioritize its believers, its people. The Holy Water was originally meant for those suffering, but Your Holiness holds great significance to the church. You have been fighting monsters continuously for years, and you deserve it, but... it's just that there isn't any left. The church also feels sorry for you, Your Holiness."
Archbishop Oli's argument remained the same, and Alia saw through these people.
"Archbishop Oli, I need the Holy Water for healing."
"I know."
"Forget it, I understand the church's intention. Let me ask one last question, does the Pope know about this?"
Alia sighed, not expecting the situation to turn out like this.
"I have informed the Pope, and His Holiness is also very helpless."
After hearing the final words, Alia didn't say much and left.
----------
A few more days passed.
After Luo Wei resolved the debt problem, he no longer had to worry about any issues.
The formal procedures were needed for Baron Eldred's territory, which he lost to Voss, to be transferred back, so it wouldn't happen so quickly. As for Voss, he would continue to send money to Luo Wei every month, and this economic transfer would not stop for a while.
But Luo Wei found himself with some free time. He should have considered development next, but since he didn't have any good ideas at the moment, he temporarily put it aside.
Speaking of which, Alia seemed very strange these past few days.
Although it was Luo Wei's own perception, it couldn't be denied that it was indeed quite strange.
Every morning, Alia would wait at the door for Luo Wei to wake up, then she would wash his face, help him get dressed, and prepare breakfast for him.
In the afternoon, Alia would ask Luo Wei if he wanted to take a nap or if he needed to bathe.
In the evening, she would also help Luo Wei sleep well, of course, only covering him with the blanket, without any inappropriate content.
In summary, no matter what Luo Wei wanted to do, Alia seemed to have everything ready. She didn't seem like a saint at all, but rather Luo Wei's maid. And this situation was getting more and more serious day by day.
Luo Wei also found this situation abnormal, but he couldn't say anything about it, which was annoying.
"Darling, what are you daydreaming about?"
While Luo Wei was thinking, Alia interrupted him, having appeared out of nowhere."I... I was just thinking about some trivial matters."
Luo Wei said, looking at Alia.
Alia continued to smile, but Luo Wei always sensed something strange behind that smile.
"That's good, dear. Dinner is ready. Come on in."
Alia pulled Luo Wei towards the house.
Luo Wei had been staring at the sky outside the door for a whole hour, and Alia had no idea what Luo Wei was thinking. But since Luo Wei didn't want to say it out loud, Alia naturally wouldn't force him to explain.
"Alia, actually, you don't have to treat me like this."
Luo Wei suddenly spoke up.
Alia paused for a moment and stopped walking, but she didn't let go of Luo Wei's hand. She just stood there.
"Although we have an engagement between us, it's just a piece of paper. Besides, the engagement is not a slave contract, so you don't have to take care of me like this..."
Luo Wei's voice was not loud, but it sounded as if it penetrated Alia's heart.
"Darling, what are you talking about? I do these things not because of that, but because I want to."
Alia said, facing away from Luo Wei.
"Alright, let's go inside."
Alia forcefully pulled Luo Wei into the house and pointed at the table full of dinner in front of them.
"So... dear, do you want to eat first, shower first, or..."
Alia turned around, showing a slightly seductive expression as she looked at Luo Wei.
"Eat me first?"
