Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1498 - 1050: Is She Really an Angel Descended from Heaven?

Although Quelers’ residence is not as large as Orus’ estate, in terms of specifications, it is considerably bigger than the mansion in that estate.

After all, it also serves as a workplace, equivalent to the administrative center of the Karedohart Empire’s garrison area, so it has to be large.

Quelers assigned Reiger a room, again on the top floor of the residence.

No matter the world, people always feel the higher you are, the more your identity is displayed; hence, no matter where he is, Reiger is always assigned the top floor.

This sometimes makes Reiger think...

"Luckily, this otherworld rarely has skyscrapers; otherwise, without elevators, legs might just snap from the running."

With this thought in mind, Reiger arrived at his assigned room.

Like the rooms Reiger stayed in before, it is either vast or luxurious, seemingly unlike accommodations found on the battlefield’s front line.

Quelers intentionally arranged the room; it’s not just a regular single room but a suite.

When Reiger and his companions entered, they first saw a spacious hall; behind the hall was an open-air balcony, surrounded by various rooms, including a tea room, a bathroom, a dining room, and even several bedrooms, enough to accommodate the entire group.

Obviously, Quelers fully considered their needs before arranging such a suite.

Otherwise, Jelina and Hilune would undoubtedly stick around, and Melo and Naisa might also stick to Reiger’s room, unwilling to leave.

Now, Melo and Naisa have their own space, even Aleye has a bedroom, leaving Reiger with some personal space, albeit with thoughts of wrongdoing when night falls with the two Nymph girls... ahem, must not think further, lest thoughts cross the line.

After entering the room, the group gathered in the hall after a brief tidying up.

Mainly, Reiger had some questions for Melo and Naisa.

"Naisa." Reiger called Naisa straightforwardly, asking: "Do you know the girl named Beluti Lawon?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of bitterness appeared on Naisa’s face.

"Why are you asking about her?"

During the inquiry, Naisa, usually obedient and respectful to Reiger, displayed slight reluctance.

This wasn’t toward Reiger but toward the topic’s main character.

Clearly, Naisa hesitated to bring up Beluti, especially in Reiger’s presence, worried he might be overly attracted to Beluti.

"What’s the issue?" Reiger asked curiously: "Do you have a grudge against her?"

"Not really," Naisa seemed hesitant to speak, finally giving up resistance and sighed: "Though there’s no grudge, I really feel immense pressure in her presence."

Upon hearing this, Melo couldn’t help but chuckle.

"It’s not your Eminence’s fault," Melo, in a helpless tone, continued, "She is Beluti Lawon. If I had such a rival, I would certainly feel significant pressure too."

Melo’s words deepened Reiger’s curiosity.

"Who is she exactly? Why do you both seem to hold her in high regard?"

To this inquiry, Melo and Naisa exchanged glances.

"Let me explain."

Naisa, still looking distressed, saw Melo volunteering but shook her head, took a deep breath, and said: "Let me explain myself."

Speaking, Naisa turned to Reiger, her expression becoming serious.

"Beluti Lawon, this girl, is indeed one of us, from the Holy Sword Church."

"We were both once holy maidens of the Holy Sword Church."

"It’s just that I belonged to the Holy Sword Church in the Karedohart Empire, while Beluti Lawon belonged to the Holy Sword Church in the Sagelros Empire."

This, Reiger had somewhat guessed.

In the past, among the human race, there were three great empires and three Holy Sword Churches; though one empire and one church were lost, the remaining have persisted.

Especially the Holy Sword Church, the ones within both empires continue to fulfil their ancient duty, guarding the two holy swords of salvation.

The term "holy maiden" is actually a worldly title, not an official position within the Holy Sword Church.

Those titled holy maidens usually have saved numerous people or possess the capabilities to do so, offering salvation.

When priestesses in the Holy Sword Church achieve feats saving many lives, or possess such capabilities, they are titled holy maidens by the people.

Gradually, within the Holy Sword Church, the holy maiden became a recognized title, influencing one’s status and future.

Within the Holy Sword Church, priestesses acquiring the holy maiden title equate their status and power to a bishop’s.

In other words, aside from the Pope and Archbishops, in the Holy Sword Church, no one holds higher status and authority than the holy maiden.
