Chapter 28: A strange note
Morning.
At the Church, a group of believers stood in front of the door, their faces filled with worry, their eyes full of unease and confusion as they looked toward the entrance of the church.
As usual, by this time, the doors should have already been open, welcoming the faithful to come in and pray.
But now, it remained firmly shut, showing no sign of opening.
Outside, none of the believers dared to call out loudly, fearing they would disturb the sanctity of this place.
"Will the Saintess be alright?" At that moment, the believers began to whisper among themselves.
"I think she’ll be fine. After all, she’s the Saintess—the one who leads us to happiness."
"But... yesterday, I saw with my own eyes the Royal soldiers coming to take many things away."
"That’s right, I also saw them carrying off chests of gold and many other valuable belongings."
"Damn it! Yesterday I even saw those soldiers take away the golden insignia—I tried to stop them, but they beat me up."
"Ah! So that’s why your eye is bruised?"
