Chapter 306 The Aura of the Saintess
Strasbourg is an important river port on the Rhine River. The docks are built beside the wide waterway where the Il and Rhine rivers meet. There is a small temple on the docks, marking this as the area under the influence of the Temple.
When Qin Mo and his group arrived at the dock in the early morning, the believers of the temple had already prepared a boat for them. Although it was just a small inland river sailboat, it was spacious enough for Qin Mo's group of only a dozen or so riders.
The boatmen and believers carefully loaded their luggage onto the ship before stepping aside to respectfully wait for Heather and the others to board. To them, the people from the Temple Mount in Rome were all important figures.
"Your Highness Heatherine, please wait a moment!"
Just as everyone was preparing to board the ship, the Prussian King's Knights appeared again, marching in neat formation and escorting a magnificent carriage as it sped toward them.
Earl Harris dismounted first, nodded slightly to Saint Heatherine, and said arrogantly, "Your Highness Heatherine, our Queen has something to say to you!"
Everyone noticed the difference in Earl Harris's behavior compared to yesterday. Yesterday, he practically knelt down and begged Heather, but today he was extremely arrogant, even rude.
“Very well! I would also like to meet this renowned Princess!” Heather’s eyes remained expressionless as she coldly gestured to Harris, meaning, “Let the Princess come and greet me!”
Earl Harris hesitated for a moment, but insisted, "Your Highness Heatherine, the Princess is unwell. Please go and talk to her."
Heather raised an eyebrow and coldly retorted, "If you're not feeling well, you should stay home and wait to die. Are you coming before me now to show off your royal status?"
Earl Harris's face instantly flushed red with rage. As the vice-commander of the King's Knights, a rank comparable to a Grand Knight, he had never been humiliated like this before.
“Harris, the Saintess is a member of the Temple’s Elder Council. Her esteemed status is far beyond my reach. I have been extremely rude.”
The alluring voice quelled Harris's anger and resolved the stalemate between them.
A pale, delicate foot stepped out of the carriage in high heels, followed by a fleeting glimpse of long legs, and finally, a sickly beauty appeared before everyone.
"Qin Mo, this princess is quite something! She seems more attractive than the ones in Liechtenstein's western district." Xu Luo tugged at Qin Mo's sleeve, gesturing for him to look at the beauty.
"Hmm! That's good...no wonder..."
"No wonder? No wonder what?" Xu Luo asked Qin Mo curiously.
"Oh! It's nothing. No wonder she was so arrogant."
Qin Mo actually wanted to say that it was no wonder Mu Qingge was willing to be captured; it turned out that Princess Ruixi was a born troublemaker. But he felt that if he said it out loud, it would definitely cause bad things, at the very least, Saintess Heather would never let him off the hook.
Harris had already run over and was helping Princess Reese walk towards the river. Her frail and beautiful appearance captivated all the men around them.
"Your Highness Heatherine, there was some unpleasantness between you and Earl Harris yesterday. I hope Your Highness will not take offense." The princess approached Heatherine, exchanging pleasantries with a smile, her demeanor befitting a person of high status.
“I have no unpleasantness with Earl Harris, only with Princess Reese,” Heatherine replied humbly.
Princess Mizuki stroked her hair and said with a smile, "Why? We've never met before, and we don't know each other."
“But I know Sisley Ulière,” Saint Heather’s words were as cold as ice.
Princess Ruixi was clearly surprised by the saint's answer. She swayed slightly before regaining her balance, biting her lip as she said, "He went to the temple, so naturally he knows you... Is he... alright?"
"Do you still remember him? Heh! Can't you find a new love of that kind of 'type'?" Saintess Heatherine rarely spoke so scathingly, which Qin Mo found extremely satisfying.
Princess Ruixi's face turned noticeably paler, but she quickly regained her composure and said calmly, "Princess Heatherine is actually feeling indignant for that man? Why is that? Could it be... that the Holy Maiden of the Temple has also been seduced and tempted by him? Hehehehe!"
"boom!"
A terrifying aura suddenly appeared above the dock, forming a massive vortex that shook the Rhine River. All the cultivators felt immense pressure and were unable to move. Ordinary people without cultivation were forced to prostrate themselves on the ground; some suffered from dizziness, while others coughed up blood.
"Your Highness, if you are innocent, why are you so agitated?" Princess Ruixi's meticulously styled hair had been torn and was now disheveled, making her look like a female ghost, but she still smiled and continued to court death.
A long, strong hand pressed down on Heather's shoulder, and gentle energy enveloped her body, barely calming the almost rampaging energy within her.
"There are many civilians here. She is actually deliberately courting death and framing the temple. Does Your Highness want to let her succeed?" Qin Mo said calmly.
The vortex above the dock slowly dissipated, and the anger in the saintess's eyes turned into a bone-chilling coldness. "I won't argue with someone who's about to die."
After Heather finished speaking, she slowly stretched out her arms, and pure white holy light seeped from her slender body, extending to the wounded mortals on the dock.
Wherever the holy light touched, those suffering from headaches or vomiting blood were instantly healed, and even the chronic pain caused by years of overwork disappeared without a trace.
Princess Mizuki watched as the believers, seemingly rejuvenated, knelt to thank the saint and praise the Holy Spirit, and her heart began to bleed, her mind turning mad. "You heal even those filthy, lowly people, why should my noble princess wait to die?"
