At dawn the following day Theo awoke and freshened up.
'Time to go while the iron's still hot '
He got out of his room and went down to the guild.
'I wonder what kind of quests one picks'
Theo wanted use beast hunting to earn some coin.
On the way to the guild he saw a crowd gathering
"Quick!! ..It's starting"
He got fascinated and decided to take a look .
"Hey what's going on "
"Oh you don't know one of the holy priestesses is passing through our town"
A blonde haired youth replied
"By the way ,name is Chris"
"Nice to meet ya "
Chris said with a smile
"You too"
"Name's Theodore Silva "
'????'
"Wait ' Silva ' ,as in the Silva family "
'sigh'
"Well doesn't look like you like the name"
Chris said with a smirk
"Just call me Theo"
Theo brushed it off.
"Anyway who's a holy priest "
Theo asked but Chris remained silent looking at him with a dumbfounded look .Theo looked at him and wondered if he said something wrong .
'sigh'
"You really don't know who a holy priest is"
"They are said to be maidens chosen by the god Histeria to lead the souls of the world into light"
"Holy maidens are usually protected by the church and worshipped by the common folks as 'divine messengers'"
Chris said the last part with a sarcastic tone making it seem as if he didn't like these maidens.
"Is there something wrong with these maidens?"
Theo asked
"It's not them but the whole church."
"They act like arrogant bastards who own the whole damm world."
******
While Theo and Chris were still talking ,
In a carriage a bit far away from the city,
There was woman with a veil over her face and white hair running down her back with the tips having a bit of red .
Her eyes were covered with a blind fold and she was dressed in a crimson gown .
"My lady we're almost there "
said the driver of the carriage while the woman only nodded in response.
'I don't know what it is but I can sense a strong spiritual being in this city '
*********
Chris had just finished telling Theo of all the bad acts the church does and judging by Theo's face expression,he didn't like them .
"Those bastards are more like servants of the devil to me"
"Open the gates !!!!!"
suddenly a shout was heard.Everyones eyes including Theo's and Chris' turned towards the city gates where they saw horses pulling a golden-white carriage through the gates.
'Could that be the holy maiden '
Theo mused
And what was on Theo's mind was on everybody else's.
The carriage continued moving until it reached somewhere near where Theo and Chris were standing
"Stop"
Suddenly a womanly gentle voice was heard and the carriage came to a stop.
People wondered what was going to happen as the carriage suddenly came to a stop .They were all anticipating to see where that womanly voice came from.
Sadly for them even after waiting for some minutes nothing happened .People were beginning to become impatient seeing the carriage not opening up.
Just as people were about to start complaining,The driver spoke out to the crowd
" Welcome to Holy Maiden Rose Evergreen"
The door of the carriage was opened and a veiled woman with white hair and red gowns stepped out of the car .
Everyone was stunned by her beauty and some even begun speculating she was an angel sent by the gods.
Even when covered in robes,one could still see her devil like curvaceous figure from the outside .
"Trust me guys,even if I die now I would have died happy"
A man in the crowd blurted out with tears at the edge of his eyes.
'bunch of pigs'Thought the carriage driver as he saw the way the men were looking at his young miss.But he knew they were right l,his young miss was a top beauty even among the Holy maidens.
Everyone was was admiring the angels beauty including Chris and Theo.When abruptly she turned her head in Theo and Chris' direction .
Theo furrowed his eyebrows as the figure started walking towards them.
Everyone was startled including the driver.
"Who are those two"
"Hey do you know them"
"Nah never heard of them before"
just as Rose was about to reach them,a group of men led by a handsome youth moved past them towards the figure .
"Welcome to our humble city maiden Rose" said the youth with a smile on his face.
"My name is Trent,Trent Silva of the Silva house."
"It's a good thing you made it here safely"
Trent added while Rose nodded back in response.Just as Trent was about to continue Rose walked past him and went to the two boys whose presense
had been ignored.
'hmmm.'
'Where is she going'
He thought that she was leaving for somewhere.
As for the two boys in the direction she was heading in,he did not put them in his mind as in no way would she go to some commoners.Unfortunately fate had something else in store for him as Rose proceeded to where the commoners were standing.
She stopped right in front of them and faces Theo.
"Would you like to dine with me"
'hsss..'
The area suddenly became pin drop silent.
What she said was slow and gentle yet it sounded like a thunder clap to people's ears
Trent was staring them with bewildered eyes.
"What..!!"
They shouted
