Chapter 388 Holy King Church
One day while in the "Mobile Sixth Division", the Holy King Church, which had received the news about Hayate, finally responded.
So, Ji Feng, who was originally scheduled to go with everyone to perform the security duty at the antique art auction, temporarily changed his plan and took Xue to the Holy King Church.
At this moment, the two of them, especially Xue, were wearing an extra earth-colored coat and an off-white hooded scarf, making it impossible to see her face.
In the Star King state, I cannot expose myself to the sight of strangers casually. It would be troublesome if I was entangled by some people such as fanatics.
"The Holy King Cult... has it become so prosperous now?"
Looking at the believers coming and going around her, Xue couldn't help but sigh that the current Holy King Church was much stronger than the small church in her memory.
"Wasn't the Holy King Cult this prosperous before?"
Hearing Xue sighing in her speech, Ji Feng was a little curious.
"Not only that, it's completely different."
"During the early Belkan era, numerous nations coexisted, and there were countless religious sects, large and small. Therefore, the spread of faith became extremely difficult. After all, anyone you picked up on the street might be a believer of another sect."
"In the middle and late stages, the continent was plagued by constant wars, and a large number of people were displaced and living a precarious life. How could they have the energy to spread the faith? Just surviving was a blessing."
“That’s true…”
Ji Feng could hear from Xue's tone how chaotic and bloody that era was, but then again, how did her best friend treat other countries at that time?
"Hayate, how did I treat other countries back then?"
Xue was not very surprised by this question.
"As the ruler of a country, I have always maintained that I will not offend others unless they offend me. But you also understand that there will always be some fools who will mistake your kindness for weakness."
Upon hearing this, Hayate quickly realized what Snow was about to say.
"As for those dishonest guys, I naturally led my knights to fight back and wipe them out thoroughly. Of course, I would not take action against those truly innocent civilians."
Xue emphasized the word "truly" very hard. After all, loyal people are everywhere, and Xue would naturally regard those guys as enemies.
"However, as the number of expeditions increased, Camelot, my country, inevitably began to show signs of decline. Fortunately, I have a strong enough backer behind me to help Camelot slow this process."
"backing?"
Hayate was curious.
"Yes, Overlord Claus Ingwart, my cousin."
"Eh?"
Ji Feng was stunned. Overlord and Star King are cousins...Isn't this really some wild history?
"It's really not some unofficial history. Klaus and I have a relationship that's almost like siblings. We usually call each other brother and sister in private."
Xue gave Ji Feng a speechless look.
"but…"
Xue's tone changed.
"...Even with his support, Camelot's decline was only temporarily delayed. Towards the end, the war intensified, and my people and I became increasingly more of a burden to him. Therefore..."
"...So, Alicia, you chose to sever ties with the Overlord, and ultimately led your people on a trek, seeking a place of seclusion..."
"..."
Xue remained silent. She had indeed done so at that time, but she said she was looking for a place to live in seclusion. But where could there be a truly peaceful place in the war-torn land at that time?
"Ah, our people are here to pick us up."
Suddenly, Ji Feng spoke, and Xue looked at the middle-aged man who was walking towards the two of them.
"Tracy... No, I must be confused. How could it be him..."
Xue couldn't help but be stunned by the somewhat familiar face of the man in front of her.
Tracys Krill, a knight who had once served as his valet, must be the one standing before him...
"…You must be His Majesty the Star King that the Wind Knight mentioned in the communication. I am Red Clear."
Hearing Xue, an outsider, easily recite the name of his ancestor, the man named Red Clear was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became very serious.
"Yes and no... Please, Knight Red, lead us in."
"Yes, it's your honor."
Being able to lead the way for the king his ancestors once served, Red suddenly felt that his life was worthwhile.
Walking along the corridor of the church, Xue's mind kept flashing through the bits and pieces of her experiences during the Belka era.
Laughter and tears, blood and fire, and... the apology and regret that can never be made up for for Klaus and Olivier.
"Alicia..."
As a good friend, Ji Feng noticed that something was wrong with Xue and couldn't help but feel worried.
"No, I'm fine. I just thought about the past..."
Xue shook her head slightly.
"Sister Shah, His Majesty the Star King will now leave his duties to you."
Red, who was walking ahead of the snow and the wind, stopped and started talking to a nun with short purple-red hair.
"Well, Knight Red, go ahead and get busy."
The two completed the handover, and Xue nodded slightly to Red as he left.
"A descendant of Freisa..."
Xue could somewhat see the shadow of an old friend in the nun named Shah in front of her.
"...Yes, Your Majesty, my name is Shah Nuela."
The moment Xue pronounced the name Freisa, the nun named Shah had already confirmed that Xue was not a person with ulterior motives who used the name of the Star King.
After all, the name of her ancestor, the Knight of Justice Fresa, is one of the secrets of their Nuela family, and few people know it.
Following Sister Shah, Xue and Fengfeng arrived at the door of Knight Kalim's office.
"Knight Kalim, His Majesty the Star King and Knight Gale are here."
Through the magic communication, Shah reported the arrival of Snow and Gale to Knight Kalim.
After a while, the door opened and a woman with a purple headband, long golden hair and purple eyes came out.
Seeing this, Xue took off her scarf hood, revealing her true appearance in Star King state.
"!"
After seeing Xue's long hair interwoven with gold and silver and her eyes that looked like flames and ice, an undisguised look of astonishment appeared on Knight Karim's face.
It's not for any other reason, but because Xue's current appearance is literally the same as the color portrait of the Star King in the church that has been passed down since the Belka era.
"Nice to meet you, Knight Calim. I'm a friend of Hayate, a co-executive officer of the Apocalypse Chaser Administration, and captain of the Extreme Radiance Squad of the Mobile Section 6's special unit. I'm also the reincarnation of Alicia Pendragon, the Fourth King of Belka—Lord of Camelot."
Looking at the church knight Karim in front of her, Xue directly performed a standard Belkan knight salute.
“…Yes, welcome, Your Majesty the Star King!”
After a brief moment of surprise, Karim came to her senses and suddenly realized that her behavior just now seemed a little too rude, and she couldn't help but become a little flustered.
"It's okay, it's okay, Knight Kalim, you don't have to be so nervous. It's okay if you don't think of me as that Star King."
Seeing the other person like this, Xue didn't say anything.
"Yes..." Karim calmed herself down. This ancient king was much friendlier than she had imagined.
