Chapter 201: Perceived as Intruders

"Ely, what was just now?" Evelyn tilted her head slightly with a baffled expression. The event that had just happened came so fast and so quickly went away.

"I don't get it either, Eve. But, I think they'll be fine... The bodybuilding club is good for them. Ah, don't bother, let's go." Elysia turned around and continued her steps.

She didn't know why her explanation was ignored by Brian, David, and Ashton until they came to a conclusion with just a truncated testimony. Apparently, they did that on purpose for some reason.

"En." Evelyn turned around and put her hand on her best friend's arm. She and her best friend completely ignored the chatter of the other students who were just watching from start to finish.

The earlier event was unexpected, and the outcome was abrupt. Even though some things were bothering Elysia and Evelyn's mind, they just put them aside and forgot about them once they left the scene. Since Elysia's words were ignored, then it was the boys' problem.

The two girls didn't know what Thom and Jerry were going to experience, but no extra attention was paid to them anymore. The most awaited scapegoat to be used as the opportunity to excuse themselves became the executioner who took the two boys away. Unfortunately, that outcome was not held in high regard by both Elysia and Evelyn.

It was a relatively late arrival when they had successfully excused themselves. The others would think that the three boys group had some animosity against the two boys group. The incident just now was only used as an excuse and a trigger.

Elysia and Evelyn went out of the building with cheerful hearts once again as soon as they started chatting about lighthearted matters. The heroic stunt by Brian or whoever did not receive appreciation from the two girls.

'Ely, don't forget Vanessa's still following you. Take her with you before you go to the Holy Cathedral.' Elena reminded that shortly after she realized the white cat was playing near them.

'Oo, en, I didn't forget about her, really.' Elysia made up a little excuse. She would ask Vanessa to join her when the cat came into sight, but Elena only preceded to remind her.

'Hehe... Is that so?' Elena questioned that with a hint of suspicion just to tease her sweet little sister.

'Really.' Elysia defended herself because it was true.

After saying that, she didn't waste any more time and immediately told Vanessa to come closer. As an obedient and devoted cat, Vanessa stopped her little game in that simple garden and quickly approached her master.

She revoked her wind magic of disguise then drew closer to her master's feet. She stroked her body there like a spoiled cat after her master stopped walking.

"Meww." Vanessa announced her presence.

"Hmm, Vann. How was your day? Are you hungry? En, this is for you to delay hunger until we get to Ella's house." Elysia picked up the white cat, then took out a packet of cat food.

"Meow." Vanessa nodded her head, then grabbed the snack package and took a bite. She tried to open it with her fangs.

"Oh my, Vann. I wonder how you suddenly appeared at your master's feet all of a sudden." Evelyn still couldn't find an answer to that accomplishment. Every time that happened, she always felt amazed.

"Hehe... Wait till I unwrap it." Elysia giggled at Vanessa's behavior.

After she opened the wrapper, Vanessa immediately buried her head in the package to enjoy her world of food.

It didn't take her more than ten seconds to finish a packet of the treat. Well, it was just a snack, unlike her master's yummy food that she enjoyed with every bite.

"Yum-yum..." Vanessa licked her lips as she freed herself from the empty snack pack.

"Oh, want another snack or want to eat after this?" Elysia smiled with a sweet taste on her lips.

Vanessa didn't even need to answer to make her meaning conveyed. She just shoved the empty snack pack into her master's hand then snuggled up in her master's arms.

"Ely, can I carry Vann? I'll look after her well." Evelyn requested while caressing the adorable white cat.

"Sure, here." Elysia nodded without reducing the smile on her face. She allowed Evelyn to take the cat in her arms right after she asked the cat's opinion, of course.

"Mm-hmm~ Ah, soft and fluffy. Yes, you're a good girl." Evelyn satisfied herself by gently stroking the beautiful white cat in her arms.

Elysia just smiled at that, then they continued their steps towards the Holy Cathedral. She also didn't forget to throw the empty snack pack into the trash labeled 'recycled trash' while on their trip.

They finally arrived around the Holy Cathedral. It felt peaceful and serene there, mostly only the Priests and Holy Knights who were seen in various places. Even so, there were also some students and citizens who had their own affairs or interests.

Elysia and Evelyn didn't wait for someone or anything. They went straight to the private area where Ella was waiting for their presence.

"Uhm, Ely, come to think of it... Isn't this the first time we've visited the Celestine Family's private area unaccompanied?" Evelyn whispered as they walked through that particular corridor.

"Hmm... I think you're right, Eve. However, we have the access card, so we'll be fine. This Holy Cathedral is sophisticated, more polished than our academy if we're going to compare." Elysia replied in a soft whisper.

She felt that the closer she was to the Celestine Family's private area, the corridor felt even more silent. Perhaps, it had been over a hundred meters since they last exchanged courtesies with a Priest.

Simultaneously, a man's exclamation suddenly startled them as they were about to pass the last intersection in the corridor. "Halt!"

"Ah!"

"Whoa!"

"What!?"

Three shouts from the shocked person echoed briefly in the corridor, but the source of their shock was quite different.

Evelyn was taken aback by a sudden exclamation. Elysia was taken aback by the same thing as Evelyn but strengthened by Evelyn's startled scream. But, the Holy Knight was shocked by the two girls' screams.

Whereas, the non-surprised just rolled her eyes even though she also didn't realize there was someone on the other side of the corridor intersection.

"Phew... You startled us, Sir Holy Knight. Please don't call out suddenly with such a loud voice." Elysia breathed a sigh of relief and put her hand on the top side of her chest.

Sometimes, she desired to use her advanced perception all the time. However, she just didn't do it so that her mind wouldn't be weighed down by the many details about her surrounding.

"Oh, like that. Then, please forgive me. Going back to the point, what are you doing in this corridor? The area around here is not open to the public. Hmm, are you two young girls getting lost and accidentally getting here?" The gallant Holy Knight questioned the two young girls with a measuring gaze.

"For that, we are not lost and on the right path. Our goal is to visit the Celestine Family's private area." Elysia answered with a polite tone even though she was being stared at like an intruder or a criminal.

"You want to visit there? Do you have permission from a member of the Celestine Family? If not, you better go home now. That sacred area is not a place to be visited at will." The gallant Holy Knight stroked his chin as if he didn't really believe this beautiful girl's words.

Beauty was the deceit of the world, and the seduction of sin, his mighty and steadfast self would not be deceived by such trifles. He wouldn't believe it if there was no absolute proof.

The area around here didn't accept the presence of outsiders, let alone strangers. Luckily he was on patrol and prevented these two unknown intruders. That was what he thought.

"Yes, we have the permit. It was Gabriella Celestine herself who gave us the permit, and she is waiting for us." Evelyn nimbly helped her best friend to resolve this misunderstanding. She knew they were being perceived as intruders or something.

"Is that so? Then, please forgive my impoliteness. I'm just patrolling around here. So, let me escort you up near the gate to the sacred area." The gallant Holy Knight gave a slight bow of respect with one hand on his chest.

Despite saying that, he had other intentions to confirm the validity of these two girls. If they were lying, then the punishment would await these two girls. He didn't care whether these two girls were students of the Deterry Academy of Magic or not. Rules were rules, and no offense was tolerated.

"Hmph, fine. Let's go, Ely." Evelyn tugged on her best friend's sleeve a little, and they left together. But once again, an armed Holy Knight trailed right behind them.

In her mind, there was one thing she realized, her identity as Ariatha Kingdom's Princess was not recognized by this Holy Knight! Could it be that this man had never seen herself, Ely, and Ella hanging out together around the Holy Cathedral?
