Vacation (1)

"Em... What do you want to talk about, Miss Saintess?" Ethan rushed over to the Saintess and bowed before her, the Saintess returned Ethan's behavior with a warm smile.

"Don't be so nervous, I just wanted to invite you to my house."

"Ah, we thought there was something that made you unhappy." Saintess just smiled and looked at us for a while, and then she said.

"Since you'll be going to Leon's residence tomorrow morning, you might as well stay overnight at my house to see how people live in this world."

"Uh, is it okay?"

"Of course you can. After all, sooner or later you'll be exploring different places to increase your strength, so what's the harm in doing it now?"

Smiles etched on Ethan and Anna's faces, Anna jumped up and immediately hugged Akane with a cheerful face.

With that, we followed the Saintess outside the hall, many people greeted her from servants to knights, everyone bowed and greeted her when they met, and the Saintess also greeted them back with a friendly smile towards them. Was she not tired of all this?

We followed the Saintess to a car that seemed to be her means of transportation. Wait a second

A car? In this medieval world, there's a car?!

It seemed that Ethan and the others were also thinking the same thing as me, for a moment they froze in place and looked like a child who was seeing a car for the first time.

The saintess stood in a car similar to a frog car and waved to us. "Come here."

"A-ah okay." Why must you speak with a stutter, Ethan?!

The Saintess spoke to her guard then the guard took out a scroll from his pocket. The scroll looked very good because the container of the scroll was covered in gold.

The guard tore the scroll, a bright light came out when the scroll was torn, and then another car that looked similar to a minibus suddenly appeared before our eyes.

"Em... Miss Saintess, is this a car?"

"Isn't it beautiful? This car was produced by the kingdom of Kronovia you know, although the price is expensive but you will not regret buying this thing."

"Yes, that car is wonderful."

"Fufu, you're right. And what's even more wonderful is that if this thing breaks, I only need to ask the emperor or Leon, they will immediately give me a new car, no matter how expensive this thing is."

Isn't the Saintess abusing her position? Is that allowed to be done?

With that, we entered the car. The Saintess and her knights' escort were in the same car while we entered the car which was similar to a minibus.

"What do you think of Saintess?"

Akane asked while glancing out the window, I actually thought the same as her but for now, it's better if I just go with the flow.

"I don't know, It's too early to conclude that."

"Brother Ethan is right, It's not good to conclude things in a hurry, we should wait a little longer."

"Well, I don't care about that, the Saintess seems like a good person to me."

"That's because Sis Anna only thinks about food."

" If you say that again, I'll throw you out of the window you Sassy child!"

In the end, they directed their gazes at me.

"What do you think we should do, Dendi?

"...Brother Dendi, what's wrong?"

"Hm? No, nothing."

Damn it! I didn't hear their conversation, I was holding back my desire to jump out of the car and examine the various kinds of flora and fauna in this world.

Sigh... Old habits are hard to break.

"What do you think Dendi? Is there anything we can do?"

I massaged my neck while leaning my body against the chair. "there's nothing you can do, for now, you should just follow the words of the Saintess."

Moments later, the driver looked back at us with a smile on his face. "Excuse me, sir, soon we will arrive at the city where the saintess lives."

Hearing the driver's words, we started to look out the window and saw a city surrounded by a large wall. After arriving at the gate, the guards didn't ask anything and immediately let us into the city, the influence of the saintess was truly terrifying.

The people who saw the saintess car immediately bowed regardless of all the activities they were doing.

"The saintess's house is in the middle of the city. You can see it if you look out the window. "

"Wow... It's a stunning mansion."

Anna is right, it is a magnificent mansion, I think this is the most beautiful building I have ever seen in my life.

We arrived at the front gate of the saintess's mansion, we got out of the car while continuing to look at the mansion, the saintess laughed when she saw us then the servants lined up to greet the saintess.

"Welcome to my house, I hope you don't mind staying one day at my house."

"Ahh no no no, Miss Saintess. We are the ones who have troubled you."

"What a good boy."

There's no doubt about Ethan, he's skilled at this.

"While you're here, why don't you take a walk to the city center first? Just think of this as your holiday."

"Eh, can we do that, Saintess?" Anna became excited after hearing the Saintess' words.

"Of course, buy whatever you like here."

Anna looked happy and hugged Akane who seemed unable to hide her joy. I just stayed beside Aaron because he was the calmest person among us all. But...

"..."

...Aren't you too quiet Aaron?

"You don't have to worry about money, you can buy anything you want. You will also be accompanied by 6 maids, each of them will guide you when you want to go somewhere. I forgot to say this, but welcome to the city of Eldoria!"

"Then we'll go first!"

Anna ran while holding Akane's hand, and then two maids ran after them, what a pity for those maids. Ethan, Raden, and Aaron followed them from behind while I just stayed and looked at the servant who accompanied me.

"Why are you the one to accompany me?"

"Don't get big-headed, I don't want to do this either." Nina answered me in a mocking tone, Saintess who saw this from beside me smiled and then approached us.

"Hem... I didn't know you had a soulmate, Nina."

I felt like I was hit on the back of my head by the Saintess' words. Soulmate? This woman has already tried to kill me, how can I become her soulmate?

"Please miss, it's not what you think." Nina approached the Saintess with a panicked face. Wow, I've never seen her like this.

"I'm just kidding, Nina. Why are you taking it so seriously"

"No, that's... I'm sorry."

"Fufufu, I'm just joking, you don't need to be that serious Nina."

Seeing Nina like this somehow made me a little happy, Nina bent down while looking at me with a hateful look.

...Why is she looking at me like that? What did I do wrong?

"Your name is Nicholas Dendi, right?"

I looked at Saintess and answered her question. I bent my body slightly. "Yes, my name is Nicholas Dendi."

"Then, what makes you not enjoy your time with your friends?"

Finally, this was my chance

"Actually, I have a request for you, Miss Saintess."

"Heh, I wonder what kind of request you would make. Well, tell me what you want from me, I will do my best to grant it."

Nina looked at me seriously, her gaze as if she was ready to kill me at any time. I ignored Nina's gaze and looked at the Saintess slowly.

"Do you have some time for me? I need to ask you something, Miss Saintess."
