Chapter 7 The Queen Who Rules the Sanctuary

It was early spring, the grass was growing and the orioles were flying.

The sanctuary, which had been in turmoil for thirteen years, finally returned to peace.

The twelve strongest Golden Saints, except for Aiolos who died in the past, have all surrendered to Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom who has returned to the sanctuary.

Although there are several of them, namely Aiolia, the brother of Aiolos, Shion, a disciple of the previous pope, and Saga, the main messenger of the conspiracy, and his two accomplices Abrodi and Dismask, Because what happened thirteen years ago was very difficult to deal with, but with Saga's guilt and Athena's mediation, they didn't break up after all.

Of course, there are still times when confrontation is unavoidable. Aiolia, who has been called the traitor brother for thirteen years, and who has been ridiculed for thirteen years, can't help but mock Saga a few times, but these are still within the acceptable range.

And it's not like no one cares about Saga. For example, our Crown Athena has given Saga considerable trust.

In the Temple of Athena, Athena sat proudly on a Greek-style aristocratic chair. While drinking wine, she asked Saga, who was sitting below with a wry smile:

"Are Aioria still like that, Saga?"

Then, without waiting for Saga to answer, she said again:

"I have no choice but to give in. After all, you owe Aiolia and the others."

Saga nodded:

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will try my best to atone my sins from them."

But Saga didn't expect that these words would cause Athena to give her a big eye roll.

"Atonement is possible, but it's a waste of effort!"

"Now I don't have time to take care of your quarrels. I feel it. My second uncle, who thinks very highly of himself but has always been in trouble, has woken up. You grown men have the skills to be careful, test each other, and negotiate peacefully, so you might as well go out and fight. Have a fight, have a drink, talk things over, and then come back and let me think about how to deal with the second uncle who likes to use floods to destroy civilization!" Athena said in a rapid-fire manner.

"...Yes, Your Majesty!" Saga said with a bitter smile.

Then the two fell silent for a moment.

"What else do you want, Saga?" Athena asked.

"Well, about the meeting ceremony tomorrow..." Saga said.

"What? Didn't I say that during the war, everything should be kept simple?" Athena said.

"That's true, but Your Majesty, a simple speech is still required, you..." Saga said.

"Ha, you are afraid that I will say 'I don't care about life and death, and if you don't accept it, I will do it'; that's what I mean." Athena said angrily, "I only show this way to you trustworthy Golden Saints, right? The other guys, of course I know what they want to see."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Saga said.

He was really afraid that Athena would look like the girl she looked like in the Battle of the Zodiac during her speech.

For the people of the Sanctuary who believe that they represent love and justice on the ground, it is really difficult to accept that a Taimei is the goddess of love and justice that they believe in.

Maybe those young people can accept it? Saga thought of those Bronze Saints. When they saw Athena looking like a young girl, they showed no anger that they didn't want to believe. Instead, they were extremely happy after being surprised and felt very kind. Especially Seiya, who was almost like The title is "cut off the chicken head and bow to the handle".

"Okay, Saga, go and do your work. I'm going to take a shower here." Athena's voice came.

"Yes, your Majesty." Saga left respectfully.

This is good. Looking at Saga's leaving figure, Athena nodded happily.

Compared to the sanctuary where there were only two or three big cats and kittens left in the original work and no talents who were good at leadership work, the current sanctuary is full of talents.

Saga, who has been the pope for thirteen years and has kept the sanctuary in order, may be guilty, but his talent will not diminish.

Athena personally expressed forgiveness for his crimes, and continued to hand over the operation of the sanctuary to Saga in the name of atoning for his crimes, which really made Saga burst into tears.

In a normal coup, it is impossible for a character like Saga to survive, because the people in power will not allow a person with huge political energy to survive. But Athena doesn't care.

As far as Saga himself is concerned, after that dark side was expelled, he was absolutely loyal to Athena.

In terms of strength, let alone Saga's truly powerful team of Golden Saints. After the rebellion was discovered, only Abrodi and Dismask were left, which was simply not enough to overcome the remaining eight Golden Saints to rebel again. Controlling the Holy Domain means that he can once again activate the other powers of the Holy Domain. Facing Athena, who is gradually returning to her peak state, it is impossible to win.

Athena also opened up the Astrology Building's collection of books. The Saints who no longer smuggled each other around could improve their understanding of combat skills with the help of the Astrology Building's collection of books. And no longer fighting against one another, the Saints began to practice without hiding their secrets, making their combat effectiveness increase every day.

besides...

"Miss, please take a shower and change clothes." A voice sounded, interrupting Athena's thoughts.

Then, two young and beautiful girls walked in. One of them has blond hair, but still has the softness of the East. She is obviously a mixed-race girl, and the other is a typical black long straight lady. These two girls are here to serve Athena in her daily life.

"No, it's too early, Meiyi, Kyoko!" Athena pretended to be pitiful and said to the two girls.

Hearing this, the two girls looked at each other helplessly. After finishing the zodiac, their lady would do this every day, and they were used to it. Then, they hugged Athena's arms, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Miss, go to bed early and get up early. It's good for your health!"

Saying this cold joke with a completely different style, the two girls dragged Athena towards the bath.

Athena resisted weakly, but could not break free from the girls' grasp.

Of course, this is just because they are just having fun. In particular, the thoughts of the opposite sex of Athena's fused different time and space body are still urging her. It would be a pity to miss this wonderful moment.

The girls named Meiyi and Kyoko are Bronze Saints of Dolphin and Pony respectively.

According to the rules of the sanctuary, they should have been wearing masks, but in fact they were not wearing them at all. This is not because Athena has just canceled the mask rule for female saints. Although other female saints do no longer wear masks because of Athena's grace, the reason why these two girls do not wear masks is because they are accurate Not a Saint.

They are another force under Athena, the Saint Girls. Athena had been with her when she was still Kido Saori, so in terms of titles, Athena allowed these girls to call her miss instead of my queen.

However, Seiya and the others, who had also known her for a long time, were not so lucky. They can only call Your Majesty Athena.

Athena tried every possible means to change the mess left by her unreserved ex when she was still awake. She didn't want to get involved with Seiya and Seiya's friends at all, so of course she wanted to call her more distant.

The so-called Saint Girls are, to put it bluntly, Athena's armed maids.

After all, a place like the Holy Land is not suitable for ordinary girls to stay there, so as early as the Age of Gods, there was an independent armed maidservant directly belonging to Athena among the Saints. They were responsible for taking care of Athena's food and daily life, and sometimes they were also responsible for communicating between Athena and the gods with whom she had a closer relationship. For example, the Moon Goddess Artemis does not allow Saints with war aura to enter at all. Communication with the Moon Goddess can only be done through pure Saint Fighter girls.

Athena has known about this power before, and it was even clearly stated in the new series of "Saint Fighter Shoujo Shoko" released in 2019.

In that drama, Dolphin's Meiyi is a real maid who has admired Athena since she was a child. Pony's Kyoko is the sister of the protagonist Shoko, and later became the goddess of strife who once used golden apples to provoke the Trojan War. The vessel in which Reese descended passed the Holy Cloth of Equestria to his sister Kyoko.

But here, the plot of Saint Fighter Girl Shoko completely collapses. Because Eris, the goddess of strife, simply couldn't survive the deadly struggle of the Gods. Her character, who was hated by both gods and gods, was killed by the God King Zeus himself at the beginning of the war between the gods.

He spends his days provoking gods to fight to the death. How can any god tolerate such a role?

Although they no longer have the experience they should have had, for these Saint Girls, being able to accompany Athena is the best thing.

Athena doesn't need her maids to go out and kill people.

...

"Miss Saori, the arena is ready." Early the next morning, Kyoko sister Shoko, the protagonist of the plot in Saint Fighter Shoujo, came in to deliver the message. She only met Athena in the past few months, and she has always called her Miss Saori. After Athena awakened, although she wanted her to change it, she finally granted her this title.

Shoko did not become the vessel of Eris, so Shoko lost the Saint Cloth of Pony and is still a trainee Saint. Athena felt a little sorry for this girl.

Therefore, she specifically broke the rules of the Holy Domain and incorporated this trainee Saint into the ranks of Saint Girls.

"Well, actually I still don't like this kind of speech." Athena said to Shoko.

She was much more relaxed with these girls than with the Gold Saints.

"Your Majesty, I believe you are the best." Before Shoko could speak, Ursa Minor Xing Xiaoling, who came with Shoko, spoke.

She is the most Athena fangirl among the Saints, second only to Mii, who grew up with Athena since childhood. She was more in awe of Athena than Meiyi, who was closer to her childhood sweetheart, so she took the initiative to use the title of "His Majesty."

There's nothing wrong with Athena. Although the title "Mianxia" is a bit alienating, it feels good under the sweet and crisp loli voice of Xing Xiaoling, who has just turned twelve.

"Haha, Xiaoling, thank you very much." Athena laughed.

She walked out with the four Saint Girls.

There are actually two other Saint Girls of this generation. However, one of them is Saga's fan girl, and the other is Dismask's enemy. Athena has already sent them to serve as liaison officers with the Gold Saints, which can be regarded as creating some opportunities for them.

"Wow--"

Arriving at the arena, Athena was immediately greeted with cheers like a landslide and tsunami.

This is my sanctuary. Athena couldn't help but feel excited.

She couldn't help but recall the love and awe the Athenians had for her during the Age of Gods.

I will protect you until the end of the world. she thinks.

"I'm waiting in the front, there is no opponent!" Looking at the people in the sanctuary shouting "Long Live the Mountain", Athena raised the victory scepter high and shouted.
