"Wait, I want to go in too!"
Hearing this voice, Zayen turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see another carriage approaching not far from the Saintess's carriage. At this moment, the carriage had just stopped, and the door was opened. Then, a young man in brocade clothes jumped out of it.
Then, he yelled and ran towards the crowd. Upon seeing his appearance, Zayen frowned and looked at Her Highness Saintess in confusion.
Noticing Zayen's gaze, Ailey was obviously a little embarrassed as she explained helplessly.
"This is Mr. Thomas. He's also a loyal follower of the Big Sister Society. We met on the road by chance.
He wanted to travel with me, but I rejected him.
But … "
What happened next did not need to be said by Zayen. When a man wooed a woman, it was nothing more than pestering her. Her Highness the Holy Maiden was a beauty that could cause the downfall of nations and cities. Any man with a bit of status would naturally have some thoughts about her.
Judging from the young man's attire, it was apparent that he was someone with a high status.
Therefore, even if Aili refused to travel with him, he could still tail her … Anyway, the outcome would be the same.
"I understand, Miss Aili."
As he spoke, Zayen nodded again. Then, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man named Thomas not far away.
"But I'm sorry, the monastery doesn't allow unrelated people to enter. So I'm sorry, Sir, but this is as far as you can go."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Zayen's words, the man named Thomas was taken aback. Then, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Thomas strode up to Zayen and sized him up from head to toe with an arrogant gaze. Then, he let out a snort and said.
"It seems like you don't know who I am. Well, it's normal for overlords in rural areas to be ignorant.
But I'm warning you, you'd better obediently move aside and let me and the Saintess enter together. Otherwise … "
"Mr. Thomas, please be careful with your words!"
Hearing Thomas speak, Allie was also shocked.
Of course, she knew what kind of person her pursuer was. Strictly speaking, Thomas wasn't a heinous villain, but he was arrogant.
However, he was an arrogant person. It was no wonder. After all, he was of noble status. Thomas did not care about ordinary people.
Aili had warned him several times, but he only agreed verbally and didn't change his mind.
Aili couldn't do anything about it. As long as he didn't harm the people, she could only let him be.
But she didn't expect him to find fault at this moment. Doesn't he know this overlord's temper?
Upon hearing Aili's words, the young man named Thomas' expression changed slightly.
"What's the matter?
Your Highness Saintess, did I say anything wrong?
Normally, I wouldn't even look at a monastery in this run-down place. If you hadn't come here, I wouldn't even want to enter such a run-down place.
Now that I'm willing to go in, I'm giving him face. But this ungrateful fellow actually dares to reject my good intentions … "
Thomas paused for a moment. Then, he turned around and looked at Zayen.
"Hey, country bumpkin overlord. Are you going to let me in?"
"Sir Overlord …"
Seeing that things were not looking good, Ailey hurriedly stood between the two of them, then she whispered to Zayen.
"Mr. Thomas is the Third Prince of the Holy Nation, Seth. He has a noble identity and if there's no need, it's best not to clash with him … How about this, I'm sorry for coming here today and I think Sir Overlord isn't ready yet.
Why don't I leave first? I'll come back in a few days to discuss the details with Sir Lord … "
She had to admit that this Saintess was indeed a good person.
She knew that she couldn't stop Thomas. But if she didn't enter, Thomas wouldn't have the chance to barge into the monastery.
On the other hand, if she forced Jenn to bring Thomas into the monastery, it would definitely displease him.
This time, Aili wasn't here to provoke Jenn, so she wouldn't make such a foolish decision.
Therefore, Aili turned around and gazed at Thomas sternly.
"I have been presumptuous this time, Mr. Thomas. This is Sir Lord's territory, and we are his guests. Naturally, we have to obey our master's orders. I will return to Bluewater City now. I advise you not to cause any trouble here."
"Your Highness, you …"
Hearing Ailey's answer, Thomas' expression darkened. But before he could say anything, Zayen suddenly reached out and stopped Ailey.
"It's fine, Miss Aili. This matter has nothing to do with you. You're just implicated.
Just as you said, guests from afar are my guests, so as the host, I have to treat my guests well. "
As he spoke, Zayen looked at Thomas beside him.
At this moment, Thomas was also smiling. He had also heard what Ailey had said when she introduced him to Zayen just now.
In Thomas's opinion, the reason why this country bumpkin overlord changed so much was because he knew his identity.
That was why he used such pompous words to pave the way. Thomas had seen many of such people. In front of the Saintess, those guys were basically brainless. Even if they weren't cultured, they would still pretend to be cultured.
Even if they were stingy, they would still pretend to be magnanimous.
And this guy before him was probably the same.
In Thomas's opinion, Zayen was probably planning to say a few nice words to him, such as "those who come from afar are guests" or something like that, and then invite him in.
And at this moment, Zayen's voice was heard.
"However, I have no interest in entertaining uninvited guests. You can scram now."
In the face of Zayen's answer, Ailey and Thomas were stunned.
Aili wasn't too surprised by Jenn's reaction. Before she came here, she had asked Montgomery about how she should interact with Jenn.
On this point, Montgomery didn't hide anything and explained everything to Ailey. He especially mentioned that this young overlord was famous for being merciless and as long as he had something on her, he would punish her to death.
Another characteristic of this overlord was that he changed his attitude faster than flipping a page, so she had to be mentally prepared at all times … And now, Aili finally experienced how important Montgomery's advice was.
On the contrary, Thomas didn't expect this. He stood there blankly and didn't understand what was going on.
He thought that if Aili knew his identity, he would definitely give him face. After all, he was the third prince of the Holy Empire, Seth!
How dare someone stand in front of him, point at his nose and tell him to get lost after knowing his identity?
What exactly is going on?
Thomas stood there in a daze, but Zayen obviously did not intend to be in a daze with him, so he just glanced at Thomas, turned around, and gestured to Ailey again.
"Alright, Miss Aili, please follow me. Let's talk inside."
"Wait!
Stop right there! "
Upon hearing Jenn's words, Thomas yelled as though he had just woken up from a dream. Then, he hurriedly unsheathed his sword and thrust it at Jenn's shoulder.
But before he struck his target, a voice sounded in his ears all of a sudden.
"You're so annoying. Master told you to get lost, and you should get lost. Don't you understand human language?!"
Along with this voice, Thomas felt a flash of light before his eyes. At the next moment, his sword struck a sturdy shield in a loud clang.
An intense pain struck him and he couldn't help but shriek.
Before he reacted, he felt a massive impact on his body. At the next moment, he fell to the ground and rolled down the stairs. After a few moments, his body hit the railing at the side and came to a stop.
At that moment, Thomas felt a burning sensation all over his body. He shook his head, lifted his head, and looked up, only to see a young lady clad in armor and holding a shield standing in front of the country bumpkin overlord.
She stood there with her left hand on her hip, staring down at Thomas from above.
"What a pig. Don't you understand human language?
How dare you sneak attack me?
Who do you think you are!? "
"You … You …!
Good! Very good! "
Thomas's expression turned ashen. He glared at her fiercely and stood to his feet.
Then, he lifted his head and looked at Jenn behind the young lady.
"How dare you attack me, a prince. I will make you pay!
Babick!
Kill her!! "
"Wait!"
Upon hearing Thomas gnashing his teeth, Alice was startled. But before she could stop him, a shadow flashed by. At the next moment, a man in black armor appeared out of thin air. The sword in his hand was like a shooting star streaking across the starry sky, striking at Pattilina in a dazzling radiance.
Upon witnessing the man before her, Pattilina's eyes erupted in excitement. The moment the man thrust his sword forward, she lifted the spear in her right hand and thrust it forward.
In a loud clang, the spear and sword collided, bursting into a series of sparks.
But what was most surprising was that the instant both sides clashed, their figures turned illusory all of a sudden. At the next moment, they vanished into thin air!
What's going on?
