Chapter 464: Vientelai
“Faith is the beacon of the soul, guiding us through the fog and the abyss… Even if darkness covers the earth, the flame of light will never go out…”
In the church, the evening practice of God's favored ones still started on time as usual, without any shortening due to the upcoming departure. Cardamom mixed with myrrh burned in the furnace, and the familiar aroma made people feel peaceful. The God's favored one in the lead chanted chapters from the "Bible of Light" to guide everyone into meditation.
He turned towards the crowd, but saw the princess hurriedly passing by the open door without even glancing inside.
"...Angie?"
When Catherine ran out, Lilith had already found the training center under the guidance of Woody. She put Angel down and had no time to talk to Catherine. She was urging Woody to leave.
"Let's go. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone and no one will know that you led the way." Woody finally chose to stand on her side and successfully sent them both to Catherine.
"You are my best friend, Lilith." Woody took a few steps forward, following the force of Lilith's push on his back, and turned back and said, "I always believe in you."
Woody has passed the voice change period, his voice has become deeper, and he sounds like an adult, but the look in his eyes when he looks at Lilith is still the same as when he was a child, which makes Lilith feel ashamed - having too many friends also has its disadvantages. Gloria's life is colorful, and she actually rarely thinks of this childhood playmate. She originally agreed to come to Highgarden to play with him, but due to various unexpected events, she did not go, and when they met again, it was the same situation.
"I'm so happy, Woody, thank you." Lilith's voice was a little choked. When she confronted him in the alley just now, she was more afraid that Woody would become a different person because he and she had embarked on a different path, but fortunately Woody was still Woody, the same as before.
"Let's go..." Lilith tried to force a smile and waved at him.
Woody didn't dare to stay any longer. He nodded and ran away along the shadow of the wall.
"Are you okay? Angel, what's wrong with you..." Catherine hesitated to confirm the identity of the person who came, then stepped forward and held Angel's hand. She always knew that Angel was in the temple, but how could the once energetic girl become like this?
An Qi began to tremble uncontrollably when she was held. She looked at Catherine, with countless inexplicable emotions in her heart. Catherine and Lilith seemed to have grown up, becoming stronger and more stable, but she seemed to have stopped where she was...
"We have to get her away from here." Lilith said goodbye to Woody and returned to Angie and said to Catherine. "Right now, right away."
Catherine looked at Lilith's embarrassed appearance, then looked at Angie who was in a daze in front of her, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Send her to Margaret first—"
"I want to go home! I want to go home!" An Qi suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Of course! Of course!" Lilith hurriedly held her shoulders to steady her and looked at Catherine again.
The princess was not a person who hesitated. After realizing that Angel's condition was very bad, she did not hesitate at all and simply flipped her hand. The witch's magic broom with a cyclone appeared in her hand.
"Everyone else, follow Leila closely and follow the Black Knight out tomorrow. I will deal with Lucas later." Catherine gave instructions quickly and pulled Angel onto the broom.
When the Knights of Light arrived, the figure on the broom had merged into the night sky and could no longer be seen with the naked eye.
…………
The Russell family's mansion welcomed wave after wave of visitors tonight.
"Your Highness Catherine? Thank you for visiting me so late at night..."
Knight Russell's face was filled with grief when he greeted him, but when he saw Her Highness Catherine rushing over first, he felt a little relieved. However, he did not expect that Catherine turned around and helped someone over. After hearing his voice, the person rushed over and smashed into his arms like a cannonball.
"Grandfather!" An Qi burst into tears.
"...Angie?" After hearing her cry, Angel's mother ran out. She didn't care about being shocked by her daughter's current appearance. She just hugged her tightly in her arms. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Behind them were other family members who had rushed over after hearing the news. Daniel stood among them, his eyes dim in the light.
But Catherine was focused on Angel, so she naturally didn't notice his nervousness. She was looking at Knight Russell at the moment. She heard that this gentleman had broken his leg when he fell off his horse before, but now he seemed to be walking normally. The sanctuary should have cured him long ago, but King George didn't let him return to his post...
"Your Highness, Angie, what's wrong with Angie?" Knight Russell looked at his granddaughter who was crying in her mother's arms, and seemed to have just noticed her abnormality.
"I'm not sure either. Why don't we go in and talk?" Catherine said after stopping her gaze.
This was not the first time Catherine had stepped into the Russell family's mansion, but at this moment she felt the gloomy atmosphere here. The servants hid aside, carefully observing the masters' expressions and not daring to make a sound. Someone was sobbing softly through the side door...
Catherine frowned in confusion, but did not inquire out of courtesy.
Knight Russell's study was on the first floor. Unlike those old nobles who enjoyed collecting art, this one was very simple and tough in style, just like the head of the family. The fireplace had been lit, and the maid quickly retreated with the charcoal basket, not caring at all about the ash at the bottom of the basket staining her skirt.
After a burst of howling, Anqi, who was surrounded by everyone, finally calmed down in her mother's arms. Catherine did not urge her, and after a while, Anqi finally said a name.
"Picolle Viente."
