"You are thepanions of this man?"


    Standing in front of Mya, was a tall man with dark hair and glistening dark eyes. And he was wearing a white long robe with light blue linings. He was sitting on a huge throne with intricate golden designs. He really gave off the feeling of someone like a king with great authority and high status in life.


    "Yes," Mya smiled wryly as she gave a side nce at her right side, to Kayden who was captivated by multiple wearing the same robes. And there were other white-cloaked men, who were surrounding them.


    ''Mya what shall we do? I didn''t expect we would meet the high priest like this.'' L whispered beside her.


    ''So he is the high priest, huh?''


    ''How did this all happen?''


    It happened just half an hour after they were captivated by people. Mya and L just finished their melodrama when people with multiple robes entered L''s house. They told them or more like they demanded toe with them at once. And now they were in District 1, in front of the high priest that L kept mentioning and giving high praises before for building a city and uniting everyone in the deste Abyss.


    So back to the present, Mya maintained her smile, looking calmly at the high priest.


    "Your excellency," Mya gave a short bow that surprised the high priest a little.


    ''The way she moves and her manner of speech, is she noble?''


    Mya nced up towards him. "May I ask, what mypanion had done in order to be captivated like this?"


    ''She''s quite a beauty with those dark blue hair and light blue eyes. So these are the two champions that Evereen mentioned to me. Are they a transmigrator like me, or people of this world?'' Then, the high priest started to say, "I was on patrol in district 12 when someone quickly stole my bag that contained a lot of high-quality gold. When my men ran after him, yourpanion had already had the bag and was talking with the culprit. If you are hispanions then it means both of you must be their aplice."


    ''What a straight-up liar.'' Mya smiled and didn''t falter. "Your excellency, with all due respect, the one who built and united all these people in the city. I didn''t know that you could be this petty."


    Mya heard multiple gasps.


    "You dare badmouth his excellency!" The knight that was on the right side of the high priest, was already holding at the helm of his sword. But the high priest gestured with his hands and stopped the knight while shaking his head. "Don''t bother, It''s alright, Roa."


    ''How benevolent,'' Mya rolled her eyes inside her mind.


    "Mya, why are you speaking like that?" L whispered with Mya with worry. " You must speak properly or else we''re gonna die in just a few seconds."


    "L," Mya patted her shoulders then leaned closer. "Still remember all the things I told you about myself? I know what I''m doing." She whispered then faced the high priest back.


    "Petty, you say?" The high priest said with an amused expression on his face.


    "Indeed, your excellency," Mya said. ''I thought he would snap with my words. But I guess, he is not the founder of the city for nothing. Though, the ck knight beside him is giving me hard and deadly res.''


    "Now tell me who had blue hair. How did I be petty, when all these pieces of evidence were very clear to everyone? Are you saying I lied?"


    "Your excellency, you can call me Mya. Your grandeur and splendor of uniting everyone in this city, everyone knows it. If you say that a mere thief was able to pass you and among the elite guards that were surrounding you, you must have told me a joke." Mya exined


    ''To brush this problem as a joke, this girl was quite quick-witted and knows her grounds very well.'' The high priest sighed. ''It''s not like I want to cause them trouble even if they are champions of other gods. Though I still don''t know their intentions foring here, it''s already quite frightening how they will be able to reason this out without resorting to violencepared to other champions. and the good-looking guy with her,'' the high priest looked at Kayden. ''My intuition is telling me that there is a high probability that he will cause some trouble here at my ce if I don''t wrap up things as soon as possible. With those red bloody eyes, he looked like someone who could be the demon king in the future.''


    The high priest gave a heftyugh. "Well, pretty mind. Yes, everything is just a joke. I apologize if this causes the three of you some difort. Please let him go, they are our esteemed guests."


    "It''s alright, your excellency, and I apologize for calling you petty just earlier," Mya said and gave a short bow. "But this indeed caused us some difort. I know how benevolent and excellent the high priest is, if you don''t mind may I ask if we could have somepensation."


    "Compensation?" The high priest started to get nervous and he held his chair tightly.''Crap! Did I fall into my own trap, that I set?''


    "Yes, you''re highness," Mya said with a grin. ''Since ites to this, let''s just take advantage of the situation now. "Will you grant us somepensation to ease our worries of being dragged like this?''


    ''She''s quite the sly one.''


    "Then, as long as it was within my capabilities and didn''t cause any harm to anyone, the three of you could ask anything you wanted."


    "Your excellency, there is no," L, who was startled by the high priest''s words, was going to protest. But Mya stopped her and whispered to her. ''This is the best opportunity for you, L. Take this chance to request to visit the gravestone of your master.''


    ''Mya,'' a warm sensation filled inside L. ''Did she do this just for me?''


    "Thank you for your generosity, your excellency," Mya said with a grin on her face. "Do not be concerned, my request was very simple. May I ask to choose any item that you possess or in your treasury? That''s all I wanted."


    Multiple gasps resounded in the whole room once again.


    ''Is her agenda, is something that I possess?'' The high priest narrowed his gaze as he contemted Mya''s request. ''Well, there is nothing important that I passed aside from the treasures that I gathered when I arrived in this world. But what could she probably want from me?I know that she already has it in her mind. These women in front of me are not just the others or ordinary, there is something with her.''


    "You want something that I possess?" The high priest asked again for confirmation.


    "Yes, your excellency," Mya said with elegance in her voice.


    Multiple gasps and now whispers of ridicule targeting Mya resounded in the room, but Mya remained unfazed as her eyes were fixated on the high priest who seemed thinking of what she just said.


    "Alright, Very well," The high priest finally spoke after a moment of contemtion. "I am the one who will guide you to my treasury, tomorrow morning."


    "Thank you, your excellency. It was indeed an honor for us." Mya gave a short bow. Her grin only grew bigger. ''Finally, I don''t think that this will be easy. But I should not let my guard down just in case.''


    Then the high priest turned to L and Kayden. "Then the both of you, may I ask what you wanted aspensation?"


    L nced at Mya nervously.


    "Go, tell him," Mya encouraged her.''


    "Then your excellency, if you don''t mind, as a loyal citizen of this city, I want to have your permission to be Lady Mya''s servant."


    Mya was surprised to hear L''s words. But L was determined as she looked at the high priest.


    "What did you just say, her servant? Do you know what you are saying, it means you will need to have a life and death contract and serve thisdy for the rest of her life? Are you sure that you want to be her servant?"


    "Yes, highness, I''mpletely aware of that. I am willing to serve Mya until myst breath." L was looking directly at the high priest confidently. While Mya was just looking at her trying to process everything on her mind.


    '' L, why did you do this?'' Mya thought while looking at L.


    '' After all the things that you said to me Mya, I became more interested to be part of your journey. That is why I want to be at your side not just as a servant but as a real friend. I will offer my life to protect and serve you.'' L thought.


    "Hmm interesting, as I can see you look determined to serve her. Then if that is your desire, don''t worry I will give you my all permission. I will prepare the necessary papers tomorrow. Then what about you?" The high priest this time looked at Kayden.


    Kayden gave him a cold look before speaking.. "I want to repair our weapons and some items and a certain door and room," and as expected with his face it was poker as always.
