Chapter 202: Regiment that just Came Back
Elysia, Evelyn, and the gallant Holy Knight walked towards the sacred door of the Celestine Family. After that, the two girls who were still suspected by the Holy Knight immediately asked for permission to enter with their access cards on the device near the magnificent door.
As the two girls had hoped, the permission was validated, and the door opened slightly to let the two girls pass.
"Hum." Evelyn put a hand on her waist and slightly puffed out her chest. She looked at the Holy Knight as if waiting for something from the man.
"Very well, it seems that you do have permission from the Holy Princess, as you said earlier. Please forgive my impoliteness." The gallant Holy Knight gave a knightly bow.
"Hmph! That\'s great if you know. I was wondering if you haven\'t seen us around here?" Evelyn snorted cutely.
"For that... Pardon my ignorance. One Holy Knight Regiment and I have just returned to the capital city." The gallant Holy Knight made his apology and statement.
"Oh, I see... Well then, I have no other intention. Thank you for your good service. Vigilance is necessary. That has been said, we excused ourselves." Evelyn didn\'t want to complicate things. She turned around, gave a cue to her best friend, and then walked into the portal in the door gap.
"Have a nice day, bye." Elysia also entered the portal. However, she didn\'t forget to give her farewell to the Holy Knight with a slight wave of her hand.
Right after the two girls and one cat entered and disappeared, the portal disappeared right away. The magnificent door closed tightly once again as the security magic did its duty.
The gallant Holy Knight was left alone in the corridor with cumbersome expression. What could he do about that? It was a possibility, and he mistook it. The gallant Holy Knight only scratched his head awkwardly, then walked away to return to his patrol duty.
"Nee, Eve. Would we be treated like that if we went to visit somewhere special, sacred, or the like without the presence of important people around us?" Elysia asked after returning to the side of the girl who was waiting for her.
"Hm, I suppose it will be like that, Ely. What can we do about that? The guards, knights, and so on are doing their job as they should. It\'s for the sake of common safety and good, though. As long as you have valid permissions or prove, then you will be fine." Evelyn explained gently to her clueless best friend.
"However, remember, Ely. Don\'t carelessly show evidence of permission, emblem, access card, or the like to just anyone. We will take the risk and responsibility for that. That is also to maintain the trust of the person who gave us that access right." Evelyn reminded her best friend about essential points which should be remembered. Elysia just nodded her head understandingly at the explanation.
"Well, even if I say it like that, the access card to the Celestine Family private area is complex and tight. This card only I can use, and so is yours, Ely." Evelyn glanced at the gold-and-white access card in her hand, then placed it in her Space Bag.
"Ooh, it\'s like that... Thanks for sharing the extra information, Eve." Elysia smiled with a subtle nod.
She appreciated the additional information even though she did not ask that far. It could imply that the person who informed about the extra information cared enough about the concerned person.
"Hehe... You\'re welcome, Ely." Evelyn smiled back at them, then they walked together into the garden area.
It was so easy to locate Ella, who was waiting for the two of them. Right near the fountain in the middle of a lovely mini garden, the Holy Princess played with three rabbits. To be precise, it was one bunny and two rabbits.
"Hi, Ella! We arrived as promised." Elysia waved her hand lightly as she and Evelyn walked over.
"Oh, hi, hi! Welcome, it\'s lovely to meet you. Ely, Eve." Ella gave a wave of the hand but using the bunny\'s hand.
"Hiya, are you just waiting for us here, Ella?" Evelyn said hello too. She and her best friend sat on either side of Ella on the fish pond\'s edge that had a fountain.
"Ah, not really. I did a few other things earlier. Now, I just play with the rabbits and bunny." Ella shook her head slightly, then put the bunny on the ground. She just let the smol bunny jumped around without any definite direction.
"Hmm, wait a moment. I remember you have four rabbits, Ella. These two were the guinea rabbits when Ely and I practiced Healing Magic, right? Then, where\'s the other one?" Evelyn pointed to the two rabbits huddled together by the plant.
"It\'s two rabbits and two bunnies, Eve. The other bunny is jumping around somewhere. Just wait, little Albi will be back." Ella gave V sign hand gesture on both hands.
"Ehm, Ella, have you had lunch?" Elysia inquired for a brief pause between conversations.
"I haven\'t eaten anything after we left the Mage Association. Thanks for the pastries Mrs. Nancy gave us this afternoon." Ella slightly smiled while stroking her stomach to express it better.
"Shall we make lunch and dinner? Is Grandpa home yet?" Elysia looked to the right and left, but no Pope\'s presence was detected.
"Not yet, maybe grandfather will be back in a moment. Okay, that\'s a good idea, let\'s go to the kitchen~ Oops, but rabbits and bunny need to go back to their cages first." Ella hummed as she stood up, but she remembered the pets near her feet.
"All right, let us help you." Evelyn volunteered to help. She immediately crouched down to pick up the rabbit with Ella, and Elysia took two bunnies.
"Mew." Vanessa greeted the rabbit, who was placed beside her.
The rabbit didn\'t answer the greeting with a voice, but she repeatedly moved her mouth like chewing something.
Well, Vanessa just patted the rabbit\'s head and left the unintelligent female rabbit with the chewing business. She reminded herself once again that the animal next to her was not food.
After Ella\'s four pets returned to their rabbit house next to the training field, the three girls headed straight to the house area for kitchen matters.
They cooked several menus for their dinner together with Alexander. They also sampled a few dishes every once in a while.
It was real satisfaction for Vanessa when she tasted her food. However, she deliberately did not eat her fill because the actual dinner was not ready yet. At that time, the three girls were sitting around the dining table with their conversation while waiting for Alexander to come home.
The elapsed time while cooking was short, but the real-time was already going on for quite a while. It was dusk, and the dishes were ready at the dinner table, waiting for the diners to devour them.
"Oh, Ella, you know... When Ely and I were on our way here, we were intercepted by a Holy Knight. He thought we were intruders or something." Evelyn jokingly reported the incident.
"Oh my, hehe... I thought there would be no intruders who would wear the academy uniform and walk casually towards here. Did that Holy Knight mention or accuse you of these accusations?" Ella softly giggled as she covered her mouth with grace.
"That\'s right, Ely was there with me too. That Holy Knight looked at us with a look of suspicion, and he mentioned it implicitly. I knew that even though he didn\'t say it directly." Evelyn tapped the table with her hand to emphasize her words.
"Of course, I believe that. Perhaps, that Holy Knight is from the Regiment that just returned to the capital city?" Ella looked up a little as she recalled a few details.
"En, he said the same thing." Evelyn nodded her head once.
"Oh, so it makes sense. Please forgive the Holy Knight in question. He didn\'t recognize you were no one\'s fault. Are you offended or something like that, Eve?" Ella nodded too, but she watched Evelyn\'s expression to the smallest change.
"No, I didn\'t think about it at all. You can rest easy, Ella." Evelyn wagged her hand lightly to express her words more clearly.
"Ahh, thank goodness, I was worried if you were offended by something." Ella put her hand on the upper side of her chest with a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Ella. Apologies for my impoliteness and curiosity. The Regiment that just returned... Was there a war or something?" Elysia got into the conversation about the Holy Knight and the Regiment.
"You don\'t need to apologize, Ely. You can even find out your questions just by asking the city gatekeepers. Yes, they just returned from a war in the Eastern Region. Umm, I don\'t know the details beyond that, but that Regiment is reinforcements." Ella had a sad expression when she said that.
She didn\'t like war, murder, and anything like that. Whenever she knew there would be casualties and bereaved families, feelings of sadness always came to her.
