In the end, I was able to get the saintess to stand up again and separate myself from this circle of holy knights and priests.
Though they circled us, they didn't actually stop me from leaving the circle.
The only reason that they created that circle in the first place was just to make sure that no one would interfere with the saintess as she did her thing. But if I were to move away, they naturally couldn't stop me.
At that point, it was direct contact and it was impossible for them to ignore it.
So they had no choice but to move aside.
It seemed like the saintess wanted to do a few more things, but I had support.
Moon and Aisha had come out to see what was happening and when they saw what the saintess was doing, they had prepared everything. All of the royal guards had already saddled up and were prepared to leave.
I was the only one that wasn't on Joan yet, so I didn't delay and jumped onto Joan right away.
