Curiosity bloomed on her face like flowers in a garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re the Goddess of War’s apostle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just a disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then doesn’t that mean you will become an apostle someday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not sure, but I’ll do my best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s so cool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca exchanged a few more trivial words with him. Mostly, she asked about Sion’s experiences, and he answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a noble lady, she seemed curious about life outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sion, the Goddess’s apostles help the weak, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion recalled the doctrine he had memorized earlier and spoke impressively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The moment to draw the sword as an apostle is when the weak must be protected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my. That’s amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca was genuinely moved by his words, her brow furrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if making up her mind, she suddenly revealed her true intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Hey, Sion. Actually, there’s something I want to ask of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A request?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion thought, ‘Here it comes.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what followed was even more shocking than he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please save me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My life is in danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca spoke with a trembling voice. Sion was momentarily speechless at her unexpected words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean all of a sudden?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My father is trying to kill me. He wants to offer my heart to a guest visiting the mansion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I once secretly saw letters exchanged between him and someone else. My life is at stake. The only one who can save me now is the Goddess of War’s apostle……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca’s expression hardened abruptly as she finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“—That’s what I was told to say. By my father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion fell silent, quickly thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he felt dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Wait. Did she just admit it’s a trap? How is she so natural about it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion bit the inside of his cheek to snap himself back to focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t decide how much of Rebecca’s words to believe. He was still just an inexperienced boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca took Sion’s hand, her eyes reddening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone’s watching. Don’t panic and act normal. I’ll pretend to be desperate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should I do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Even if you know it’s a trap, you have to come, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca pleaded in a slightly shaky voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tonight. That man is already here…… Please protect me from my father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My room is at the end of the third floor of the mansion. The light is always on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though confused, Sion put on a calm expression to reassure her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll remember.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Please help me, Sion. You’re the only one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one last plea, Rebecca wiped her tears and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sitting on the bench for a while to collect his thoughts, Sion returned to the annex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back inside, Sion immediately sought out Garfenn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to consult his master about Rebecca’s story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He hasn’t returned yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruina shook her head and handed Sion the remaining cookies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Sion. Who was that girl earlier?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Oh, the lord’s daughter. Rebecca.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. She’s pretty. So pale too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, she was raised delicately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruina snatched back one of the three remaining cookies and ate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sion widened his eyes, Ruina replied bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come to think of it, I haven’t had a bite yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn didn’t return until evening. He had gone to collect the bounty on a wanted thief’s head and brought back the reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion told him Rebecca’s story before Garfenn could even take off his coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn narrowed his eyes and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Her father told her to say that? The lord’s daughter said it herself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. It didn’t seem like a lie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Confusing. Is even that part an act?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn was slightly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected them to approach Sion, but not through the lord’s daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To me, the baron’s daughter seems genuinely in danger.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is that how the Goddess sees it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Indeed. What do you think about entrusting this to Sion?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It shouldn’t be too dangerous yet, right? That pale guy…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Goddess rarely reversed her decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Guide him as you see fit.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘A disciple must be raised strong.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As expected of my great warrior. We understand each other well.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘You speak the obvious.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn relayed the Goddess’s decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m giving you a mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please speak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn declared with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncover the secrets tied to the Flandre family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? What do you mean—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You will become the Goddess’s blade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion felt a twinge of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of such a heavy responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Am I really fit for such an important task? I’m still……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn cleared his throat and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, I took in a nobody?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you saying the Goddess chose a nobody?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, no.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion denied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he voiced his deep concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what if I make a mistake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are the Goddess’s representative. Are you saying the Goddess makes mistakes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion shook his head vigorously like a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t say that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then believe in yourself and act from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judge as you see fit and wield your sword. I leave it all to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn began removing his armor and coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to wash up. The stench is overwhelming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Is it a trap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn paused while unbuckling his belt and raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A woman asked for help. Shouldn’t we uphold chivalry? Even if it’s a trap. Nothing changes. We’ll go and cut off their heads anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is foolishness what chivalry is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chivalry isn’t strictly defined. It’s the righteous heart manifesting in action.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you even know what it is, Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just kidding. I’ll be back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion began arming himself. Ruina helped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You got hit hard there, my great warrior.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What an absurd kid. How long has it been since we met, and he’s already trying to outwit his master…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This Goddess hasn’t laughed like this in a long time. Sion is so amusing.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If the Goddess is pleased, then I am satisfied.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Great warrior, rest. I will stay by Sion’s side.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Goddess disappeared with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn advised Sion as he oiled his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sion. Be careful of that pale man we saw earlier. He’s not human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Demon. One wearing a human mask. You’re not ready to face demons yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are demons strong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion showed curiosity at the mention of demons. He had heard of them in passing but didn’t know much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, they’ll be long-time enemies you’ll face from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn scratched his head roughly and muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demons are a race said to have been created by the Evil God in ancient times. Though weakened after the Evil God’s sealing, they’re still vile creatures threatening the human world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, Sion asked sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I slay demons, it’ll help the Goddess, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garfenn smirked with one corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sharp. Those saved by the Goddess pray, becoming devotees. The number of devotees directly strengthens the Goddess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion stored his duties as an apostle in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Goddess’s great warrior, it seemed his role was to uphold justice and protect the weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll be back. Take care of the kids.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Strange, I’ve been feeling energized since earlier.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sion headed toward Rebecca’s room, he felt his fatigue wash away. A warm energy coursed through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is it just my imagination?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Goddess of War, Achille had attached herself to Sion, filling him with vitality like never before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[He still can’t hear my voice.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Goddess of War, Achille clicked her tongue in disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when true, unwavering faith took root would Sion hear her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even high-ranking priests rarely heard the Goddess’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the chosen could hear her noble words directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There’s still a long way to go. But watching him grow will be rewarding.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Goddess looked forward to the day Sion would hear her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sion fully believed in the Goddess of War and received her blessings, his potential was immeasurable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[He’ll become the ultimate sword I’ve longed for. And then…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagining the future she desired, the Goddess quietly observed his journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion stood where he could see the mansion’s end room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Do I have to climb the wall?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering through the main gate and walking to the lady’s room would be too suspicious. He’d have to let them execute him without resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every possible scenario played out vividly in Sion’s mind. No matter how things unfolded, it looked difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What if I climb the wall secretly, only to find soldiers guarding her?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assuming Rebecca had set a trap, Sion prepared for the worst. It was easier to plan when expecting the worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Going even when you know it’s a trap is chivalry, huh…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion smiled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘So foolish.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tying his sword to his back, Sion began wedging his hands and feet into the wall’s crevices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never climbed a rock face before, but with his overflowing energy, it seemed possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But it’s cool.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was for justice, he’d gladly embrace foolish chivalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, Sion climbed the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the Goddess’s blessing, he didn’t slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, he reached the third-floor window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The window was wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Gone……?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spacious noble lady’s room was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca, who should have been lying on the bed, was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Already?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion’s senses picked up on a certain room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt presences there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parlor he had visited earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering the way, Sion rushed toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rebecca was truly in danger, he’d be consumed by guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hallway was eerily empty, as if deliberately cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘A lure?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing it might be, he couldn’t turn back. Now he understood his master’s words—chivalry was action born from the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘When there’s someone to save, you can’t help but move.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion opened the parlor door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The stench of blood.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metallic scent greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Armed guards surrounded the room, and in the center lay Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her stood Baron Flandre, his mouth smeared with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baron spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well. Garfenn didn’t come? I told him to, but instead, you showed up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master is busy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did that bitch Rebecca deliver the message?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baron cursed at his unconscious daughter. Sion’s eyebrow twitched at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did Rebecca do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s a sacrifice for the blood ritual. She’ll die in her sleep. A gift of eternal life to her father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s not dead yet, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baron chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want to save her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A powerless disciple like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know me? You won’t know my strength until we fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arrogant brat. I disliked you from the start. A lowborn who dares to look me in the eye. Huh? You need to be taught a lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baron smiled coldly. At his signal, armed soldiers drew their swords, surrounding Sion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiiiing—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the cold ring of metal, Sion drew his blade. His eyes darted rapidly, counting the enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his wrist, Sion swung his sword, finishing his calculations in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ten seconds is enough.
