"His majesty is not going to like the news of Ms. Yael's passing" Karter let out as he sighed heavily
"... yes, Ms. Yael's passing is a great loss for Xinthri, not only was she supposed to marry the first prince. But she was also going to be strengthening Xinthri's military power with her abilities..."
You could hear the defeat in Lucas's voice, he was at a loss of what to do. He and Karter were supposed to safely escort Ms. Yael to Xinthri, but now that she was dead who knows how furious Alizeh, the king of Xinthri would be
[Lucas : Haaah... what a mess, should I tell Silas that their family would likely have to compensate his majesty?]
Lucas pondered for some time and came to a conclusion in his mind, he decided not to tell the family of 3
[Lucas : No, it's best not to worry them anymore. They should quickly go to the church to get healing from the saints, Ms. Elena still only has 1 arm and Siun is suffering from the same illness Glenn has. They should go to the saints, I heard people around the town gossiping about how Glenn's illness was able to be healed by the saints]
"We better be going now, I hope we can meet with each other again. You guys better hurry if you want to get healed today, the saints have to rest at night... farewell" Lucas said as he and Karter walked away
Elena, Silas and Siun all hurried towards the church in the town, the church was built at the edge of the town close to a forest.
The church was built near the forest because as mentioned before, saints needed moon magic to heal and to do that, every night they must go out into the forest and preform a ritual to temporarily store moon magic inside their bodies for them to use in the morning
"Hello? Are the saints here?" Silas yelled out whilst banging on the church doors
There was no response
"Helloo! Anyone there, my wife and son need to be healed urgently!" This time Silas banged the door even harder
But this time there was a response
"Shhh! Quiet!" The voice said as the doors slowly open, "The moon's already up, do you have any common sense?! The saints are out in the forest, you better not make anymore noise unless you want demons to come and destroy the church!"
The cleaner hushed Silas with an annoyed expression
"Is there not even a single saint is staying back to protect the church if demons suddenly attack?" Elena questioned the cleaner
"Are you guys stupid? Even if all the saints were staying back to protect the church against demons they won't even stand a chance! They are just normal civilians like us who happen to be able to heal others" The cleaner said, with an annoyingly smug grin
[Siun : Huhu... this old man is starting to get on my nerves!]
[Tex : He is right though, the saints are probably just normal civilians right now, they can't even heal right now]
[Siun : Can't they just not use all of their moon magic in a day and keep it incase of emergencies at night?]
[Tex : No, their bodies are not able to store moon magic for long. They can only store it temporarily, enough time for them to use to heal in the morning]
"The what are we supposed to do sir? Can you atleast tell us the earliest time the saints will be back?" Elena pleaded with the old man
The old man took a look at Elena's condition, and it was hard for him to contain his shock when he saw that she was missing her right arm
It seemed like the old man pitied Elena so he sighed and told them that the earliest time the church would open was at 10 o'clock
With this information the family left the church with a plan to come straight back at 10, Silas spent the rest of their remaining money at an inn to spend the night.
The room they were staying in had exactly one small bed, a table and a single rocking chair. The sleeping arrangement was that Silas would sleep on the rocking chair and Elena and Siun shared the bed.
After the couple put Siun to sleep they discussed about the current situation they were in right now
