The afternoon sunshine was exceptionally radiant, its warmth enveloping people's faces.
Within Knell Castle, the Saintess was making a rare emergence from her chambers.
She sunned herself and made a gesture of prayer. Then, under the guardianship of twelve Holy Knights, she headed towards the oldest building at the castle's center.
She was preparing to leave the Knell Family Castle.
Because…she had received news that Chen Fan had arrived in London!
About ten minutes later, the Saintess found herself in the main hall of this central building.
In the hall, the Clan Leader of the Knell Family, Old Edward, had been awaiting her for some while. The sight of the Saintess entering the hall prompted him to his feet, with a warm, eager salute, "It truly delights me to see you, esteemed Saintess."
"Greetings, Mr. Edward," offered the Saintess, returning his courtesy.
