The priest lady and the Judgment Saintess exchanged glances for a while, neither of them speaking first. Sensing an awkward situation, Edwina quickly intervened and directly took her sister’s hand.

 

In a rather nauseating tone, she emitted a quite sticky voice, “Sister Feifei, why are you here~”

 

???

 

Is this really the voice that could come out of Edwina’s mouth?

 

“Hehe, seeing my cute little Nana, I had to come over and say hello.”

 

Ugh… this is also so weird!

Calling her little Nana, the way these sisters interact feels so strange.

 

Fortunately, Edwina didn’t maintain that weird tone for too long. After obediently letting Frederica Cecilia pat her head, she changed the subject.

 

“Come on, Sister Feifei, let me introduce you. This is Miss Violet, the one I mentioned to you before. You should pay attention to your attitude.”

 

“Miss Violet, this is my sister, Frederica Cecilia.”

 

With Edwina acting as a buffer in between, the previously awkward atmosphere improved a lot, and both sides nodded in acknowledgment.

 

“Hello, I am Frederica Cecilia, and Nana has been taken care of by you during this time.”

 

When talking to outsiders, Frederica Cecilia seemed relatively normal. She didn’t display any haughty attitude due to her position, and she didn’t even mention the title of Judgment Saintess.

 

“It’s nothing, this child suits my liking, otherwise, I wouldn’t bother to care about her if she were just an ordinary person.”

 

Violet didn’t really refuse the other party’s thanks. She did take care of Edwina quite a bit, especially during the incident in the Forgotten Land. If the priest lady hadn’t arrived on time, the Holy Knight might have met her end there. Violet also helped her improve her strength later.

 

The two sides chatted casually.

 

Frederica Cecilia was almost ten years older than Edwina, serving as both her sister and a motherly figure. It seemed that their mother, Jacqueline Cecilia, the current head of the Cecilia family, was busy with affairs and rarely had time to come home. From childhood to adulthood, apart from the maids, Edwina had the most contact with her sister, Frederica Cecilia.

 

However, compared to Edwina, who was still immature in various aspects, Frederica Cecilia, the current Judgment Saintess, surpassed her in eloquence, temperament, and adaptability. Yet, she still exuded the energy characteristic of a young person.

 

Overall, chatting with her was not boring.

 

During the conversation, the priestess discreetly cast her gaze toward the unique sword hanging at Frederica Cecilia’s waist.

 

This should be the famous and renowned [Judgment Holy Sword], one of the three sacred artifacts passed down in the Holy Empire.

 

Just by looking at the exposed hilt, it seemed different from the common swords in this world. It resembled a traditional Eastern sword rather than the Western-style ceremonial longsword. It was adorned with numerous exquisite gemstones, giving it a rather fancy appearance.

 

However, perhaps due to the suppressing aura of the scabbard, even at such a close distance, Violet couldn’t accurately determine the rank or level of this [Judgment Holy Sword].

 

A bit regrettable.

 

In this situation, she couldn’t casually ask someone she had just met to show the heirloom representing their status.

 

As the atmosphere was becoming more intense, Frederica Cecilia suddenly brought up a certain topic.

 

“Speaking of which, little Nana unexpectedly awakened the God-given Bloodline during her recent journey. But when I asked her about it, she hesitated and refused to speak. Miss Violet, do you have any clues?”

 

“Sister Feifei, I told you not to ask about this!”

 

Edwina angrily pulled on her sister’s sleeve, while the Judgment Saintess seemed oblivious, smiling as she looked at Violet.

 

God-given Bloodline?

 

The priest lady glanced at the two sisters with nearly identical crystal-clear golden hair. Although she had a rough idea in her mind, she wanted to confirm.

 

“What is the God-given Bloodline?”

 

“Huh, you don’t know?”

 

Frederica Cecilia looked somewhat surprised, and for some unknown reason, Edwina’s expression became even more gloomy. She lowered her head and remained silent.

 

The Saintess reached out, politely taking two crystal-clear cups filled with pale red liquid from a passing attendant, gently handing one to Violet.

 

“It’s a low-alcohol fruit wine… Well, Miss Violet, you must be of the age to drink, right?”

 

The black-haired girl smiled without answering. She casually lifted the cup, took a sip of the cool and sweet liquid with a hint of excitement, then finished it in one go!

 

On Earth, she had occasionally consumed alcohol, although she couldn’t call it a hobby. Drinking occasionally posed no harm since her divine body had extremely robust qualities. Even poisons, if any, would have little effect after entering her system. All consumed food would be completely broken down into energy, leaving no residue. Except for excess water, there was no need for excretion. Sometimes, Violet really wished to see the internal construction of her own body.

 

Sure enough, the cool wine didn’t make Violet feel the slightest discomfort. Frederica Cecilia also laughed heartily.

 

“Refreshing! Truly a remarkable figure that even little Nana admires so much. Ha, indeed, nothing beats a drink while chatting… Actually, the so-called awakening of the God-given Bloodline is a further purification or sublimation of our three major God-descendant families on the original foundation.”

 

“Breaking free from the constraints of humanity, becoming more… well, you can understand it as gaining more enhancements in both strength and talent. And for our Cecilia family, the most typical emblem is right here.”

 

The Judgment Saintess lifted a strand of crystal-clear golden hair by her ear, her expression turning solemn and dignified. Until now, she resembled a devout believer.

 

“This is the symbol of honor bestowed upon our family by the Goddess, an imprint integrated into our bloodline, the manifestation of [Light].”

 

After a brief prayer, Frederica Cecilia’s expression relaxed again, and she smiled.

 

“Originally, throughout the generations of the three major families, only a select few who gained the recognition of the inherited artifacts and succeeded in the name of the Three Saintesses could complete the second awakening of the bloodline. However, Nana is different. She is the only exception in the past three hundred years. Do you know what that signifies?”

 

“What?”

 

Violet tilted her head, and the Saintess downed the liquid in her cup, letting out a sigh.

 

“It signifies that the radiance of the Goddess has once again descended, casting her gaze upon the figure of Edwina Cecilia. Perhaps her connection with the Goddess has surpassed everyone, including the Three Saintesses and the Pope.”

 

“Not many people know about it yet. It’s alright, but once Nana returns to the homeland, it will inevitably cause a stir in a short amount of time… in various senses. Instead of hastily reacting then, I hope to gather intelligence as much as possible in advance.”

 

“Sister Feifei, sis…”

 

Edwina lifted her head, looking at her older sister with a conflicted expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

 

On the other side, Violet found it a bit strange because Edwina hadn’t mentioned this matter to her, and judging by Edwina’s attitude, it seemed she hadn’t informed Frederica Cecilia about the [Kiss of Light] either.

 

What were both sides hiding?

 

Edwina is currently the only being in this world that has undergone the baptism of the [Kiss of Light]. So, the priest lady only learned now that the change in her hair color wasn’t directly influenced by a skill but represented a deeper meaning.

 

No wonder she said that in the game, the [Kiss of Light] didn’t change hair texture…

 

Edwina should be aware of these things, but she didn’t inform Violet, the one who initiated the process.

 

What is this foolish Holy Knight planning…?
