Chapter 432 - 431 – Arthur’s backstory.
[Few moments ago.]"….Okay…I think we are safe? We are safe... Yea, we are safe." – said extremely nervous Coin.
"God fucking dammit…. Why?! Why the hell security here is straight up hellish?! How many fucking items did we used to try and escape them?!" – asked tired Mordred who was trying to catch his breath.
"A lot…. But it is far better than getting spotted even once." – replied Mara.
"Still, what now? We managed to get to the holy castle…. But what now? We are only hallway through this ring and there is still shit tons of guards."
"So…. I'm going to ask you honestly this."
"Are you sure this is in here?" – asked Mara as the group arrived at the alleyway with brick wall dead end.
"Yea…" – said Morina as she approached the brick wall, before then taking out a pendant with that was decorated yellowish diamond.
The priestess put the jeweler near the wall, before moments later a symbol of the holy mother appeared on both the wall and the pendant, which was then fallowed up with the wall moving of its own, revealing a hidden stars that led downwards.
"Common. Before somebody notices." – said Morina as she led the party inside, before then closing off the hidden path.
"…"
"As you remember, I was once here as a saintsess."
"Normally, each church has few saints, but the holy empire has quiet huge amount of it."
"To the point where they had to add a ranking system in order to categorize their saints." – said the female player as the group descended down, before then arriving at the long and darkness covered corridor.
"Like, low rank, mid rank and high rank."
"I was originally a mid-rank saintsess, but I did ended up securing a somewhat good grace of both the Daughter Of Justice and Daughter Of Mercy… Which did ended up with me not only getting a spot in the holy castle, but also allowed me to unlock many different quest."
"Anyway, stuff that, stuff this, blah, blah, blah and stuff."
"Here. This is a exit tunnel that was meant to be used in case of emergency, in case the holy castle would ever fall or if the servants would need some way to get to the safety."
"However, only saints can open this barrier…. Or more exactly, you need this thing, a pendant that works as a key."
"As well as both high divinity and high holy power."
"Without them, you would not be even able to force it open."
"Huh…. But wouldn't they had changed the locks or something? I mean, you did betrayed them and everything." – said Stone.
"Well, yea." – replied Morina.
"But the moment I do, my divine power left me, meaning that I couldn't open this path."
"Well… Until you gave me this new class."
"The [Priest Of Redeemed Sun]."
"Honestly, I'm confused."
"Why didn't you gave that class book to either of those twins? I mean, aren't they your supporters? Why didn't you-"
"We are not priest." – replied the twin fox girls.
"True, we have some priest classes, but that class didn't fitted me." – said the white fox girl.
"And there was really nothing that would work for my sister as competition….So yea…"
"Huh…."
"…"
"Okay. What is going on here." – said Mordred as he suddenly stopped.
"Back story time, common."
"?"
"What are you talking about?" – asked Mara.
"Well, I want to know what the hell is the deal with these two." – said Mordred while staring at the Morina and Arthur.
"I know this guy backstory, about him and the empire, but I never knew he was friends with you."
"You suddenly joined our guild after betraying the holy empire and you are all buddy-buddy with Arthur."
"I've accepted it and all, but what the fuck?"
"Now I'm really curios and everything."
"And now that we also doing 'that' quest right now, I'm only getting more curios."
"What? Are you like siblings? Or maybe lovers?"
"OH FUCK THAT!" – replied both Arthur and Morina as they instantly snapped at Mordred as soon as he spoke those words.
"We are not fucking related or lovers… What the fuck dude?!" – said confused and angry Arthur.
"Yea! I like the guy, but not in a romantic way! Like a bro kind of way! But not fucking love!"
"…."
"Well…. The path is long…. So, if you like you can do the backstory or whatever thing you want to talk about." – said Morina as the group continued.
"…"
"Fine." – said Arthur as he noticed Mordred's 'puppy eyes' staring at him.

"Hey! Stop!" – shouted the cultist player.
"Look! We are already having bit of trouble and stuff…. So how about we make an offer instead?"

"Huh? What just-" – Arthur tried to understand the situation, but before he could, he saw a bright blade of light coming straight for him.
"WAIT! SIS! THEY ARE NOT WITH THEM!" – shouted the childish voice, stopping the attacker right in last second as the blade was about to cut in half Arthur's face.
"They were fighting the cultist. They were the ones bought you time to come here." – said the childish voice.
"Huh… Really? Are they with you?" – asked the blond-haired girl.
"No…. They weren't with me…. But they did try to save me." – replied the little girl.
"Huh..."
"Hey, you two." – said the blond-haired girl.
"Who the hell are you?"
"…"
