After another long silence, I said with an awkward cough, "Let's not act like this then. Let's just address each other casually."
The saintess once again raised her hand before saying, "Holy son, there's no need for you to treat me this way. In fact, please allow this lowly servant to guide you on your visit to our Holy Empire."
I just didn't know how to react to this.
The way that she acted made it really seem like she was placing herself as a servant to me...
But with her status in the Holy Empire, the situation should have been completely turned around.
After all, I was just the king of a small kingdom that could barely reach the ranks of the middle sized kingdoms. It wasn't anything compared to the saintess of the Holy Empire that was above most of the human race.
The others all thought the same as they looked at the saintess with similar strange looks. But since it was the saintess who said this, no one said anything against it.
Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, the saintess took the initiative to push the issue by suddenly gesturing forward and saying, "Holy son, shall I guide you to your residence for the night? I'm sure that you're tired after your long journey."
Looking at her in silence for a bit longer, I slowly gave a nod.
At this point, it really didn't seem like there was anything that I could say that could make her change her mind. In that case, I might as well go along with it and see what she was planning.
Though by acting this way, I could see that there were some people that were dissatisfied with the way that I was acting.
They were the ones that followed the saintess to come and greet us.
Though the ones that looked displeased were young men who followed the saintess.
In this world that was based on a H-game, naturally there weren't the same rules for those that were part of a religion. Unlike my past world where holy figures had to maintain an oath of celibacy, it wasn't the case in this world.
They could choose to do so, but they were allowed to have sex if they wanted to.
That was the way to cater to people's fetishes about nuns...
They couldn't just lock that content away and that translated to this world that was based on the game.
So these young men that followed the saintess were most likely those that were interested in her.
The saintess was a beautiful woman with her large clear blue eyes, her long flowing golden hair, and her fair white skin that wasn't too pale. She was almost like a doll with the beautiful appearance that she had.
At the same time, even though she served the gods, the figure that she had was that of a devil.
With a chest that wasn't small or large and an hourglass shape, she definitely was capable of turning heads with just a single walk by.
It was no wonder she would have many admirers.
The saintess didn't seem to care at all as she was focused on her job of guiding us, but she did turn around to look at me while leading the way. The look on her face was as if there was something that she wanted to ask me.
I hesitated a bit, but I still asked, "Is something the matter?"
The saintess didn't answer right away as she looked like she was hesitant to speak, but she eventually asked, "Holy son, is it possible to see the Mark of God?"
At this, there were many people that suddenly turned to look at me.
Most of these gazes were filled with curiosity, but there were also a few that contained a trace of hostility.
These were from the young men that seemed to be admirers of the saintess.
As for the reason that they had traces of hostility, there was something that they wanted to see from me. They had their doubts about whether the Mark of God was even real, but it wasn't because they were devoted followers.
It was because they wanted to see me in a bad situation.
With everyone's eyes on me like this, it was hard for me to say no.
So I raised my hand and the Mark of God appeared with a thought.
There were shocked looks that appeared on their faces when they saw this, but the one that recovered the quickest was the saintess. The look of shock that was on her face was quickly replaced with a look of excitement.
Though she didn't move closer to the Mark of God that was on my hand.
There were some people that slowly recovered and then there was someone that wanted to say something, but the saintess cut them off.
"This is the warmth of the lord's glow. I can't believe that I have the chance to bask in this glow." The saintess said in a slow and excited voice.
Everyone slowly turned to look at the saintess as if they were waiting for something.
I knew why they looked at her like this, it was related to the special power that she had.
So after a while, I couldn't help asking, "Did you hear something?"
My words pulled the saintess out of her daze.
She looked up at me with a smile and shook her head as she said, "No, I am just in awe at bathing in the warmth of the lord's glow. I didn't hear anything at all."
The ones that were standing around us had disappointed looks when they heard this before turning away to continue walking.
What they didn't see was the look that was in the saintess' eyes as she looked at me.
This was a look that filled me with worry...
After all, there was this trace of fanaticism that was in her eyes that scared me a little.
I didn't remember the saintess being this kind of character...
