"Her Highness is indeed still young, and the power of light she receives through prayer is probably insufficient..."
"If the Holy Maiden doesn't go, and demons run rampant, the people who believe in the Temple of Light will surely be disappointed, and the believers will definitely lose their loyalty..."
"I disagree!!!"
The king and the temple elders were arguing fiercely.
The paladins watched the commotion with blank expressions.
"Your Majesty, you cannot allow the faith of the Temple of Light to be destroyed simply because the Holy Maiden is your daughter..."
“I agree with Elder Guerrero. Even if Her Highness doesn’t have the ability to purify the demons, she must do it for the sake of her people…”
Faced with the aggressive temple elders.
Even the most esteemed king must obey the orders of the Temple of Light.
Just then—
A powerful force suddenly surged through the air, its oppressive aura causing the temple elder to almost lose his footing and turn pale.
The crowd looked at the indifferent-looking boy with fear on their faces.
An overwhelming and powerful aura.
Instantly silenced everyone from making a sound.
"The nobles are all waiting for His Majesty the King to return to the banquet; we will discuss this matter again tomorrow."
The meeting ended unhappily.
After the elders of the Temple of Light and the paladins left.
Only the king and the boy remained in the palace.
“Cassius…”
The king spoke with slight hesitation.
“Pandora is so young, if she… I don’t want her to get hurt…”
The most distinguished man in the Kalmar Empire had tears in his eyes.
"Could you... I know this is selfish... but I don't want to lose her."
Cassius's exquisite face remained indifferent.
The air was stagnant.
quite a while.
A boy's clear and pleasant voice rang out.
"Let me think about it some more."
Cassius walked in the palace gardens.
The bright moonlight shone down, illuminating the beautiful and dreamlike garden, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
Such beautiful scenery and tranquil environment.
The paladin had no time to stop and admire.
The boy's exceptional hearing detected a faint sound coming from a corner.
Rats have appeared in the palace?
It's unlikely.
Cassius took a few steps in that direction.
A tiny figure huddled in the corner.
Judging from the movements... it seems like he's eating something?
"Who are you?"
A boy's clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out in the air.
Fu Sang was startled.
She suddenly stood up and turned around.
When I saw the refined and indifferent young man clad in armor.
In his excitement, the silver cup in his hand shattered.
The fragments were scattered all over the ground.
"..."
A hint of a smile flashed in the boy's eyes.
...I got caught secretly eating.
Fu Sang looked awkwardly at the familiar yet unfamiliar boy.
"Cassius...?"
Aren't paladins supposed to be out there fighting?
How did they suddenly appear in the palace?
Oh dear, her image!
Cassius raised an eyebrow in surprise.
This delicate-looking little girl actually knows him?
My gaze swept around and I spotted a white veil lying to one side.
The boy knelt down, placing his left hand on his chest.
"Holy Knight Cassius Reinhardt".
The boy's melodious voice, like a clear spring, rang out in the garden.
"—Greetings, Your Highness!"
The refined young man was dressed in armor, his eyes gleaming with a slightly arrogant light.
Fu Sang was stunned for a moment.
Then.
He leaned over and kissed the boy's cheek.
A smile graced her fair, delicate face.
"Hello, I am Pandora."
Cassius's pupils dilated slightly in surprise, and he suddenly understood the knights' beliefs.
"A knight exists to protect his master."

He was willing.
He died for his god.
