Chapter 280:
Isaac entered the monastery chapel and saw a young priestess, likely just over twenty, praying. She turned her head when she heard the clinking sound of armor.
“You must be the Holy Grail Knight.”
Isaac momentarily lost his words when he saw the priestess’s eyes, which were so clear they seemed to gleam like glass. Rather than being genuinely clear, this was a phenomenon that had become noticeable after the proclamation of the “Gerthonia Holy Empire.” The more religiously devout the priest, the more pronounced this phenomenon seemed to be.
‘She’s young, but with eyes like those, she’s probably a fanatic who’s burned more than a few people.’
The appearance of the Blind Sentinel and the paradigm shift to a Holy Empire may have sparked some change in the priests. Frankly, it was a bit creepy to look at, but they seemed to take pride in their eyes.
“My name is Isaac Issacrea, an unworthy servant. And you are…?”
“I am Yurie Otter. I may be lacking, but I have come here to deliver a message from Cardinal Rohen.”
Her surname was the same as Cardinal Rohen Otter’s. Isaac didn’t know how closely they were related, but given her age, it seemed unlikely she was part of the Watcher’s Council.
The priestess named Yurie, eyes shining like marbles, immediately took out a decree.
