Chapter 562: 69. The soul within the Cardinal
Mr. Fisher turned his head toward the sound to look at the Mother Goddess Statue beside him, only to see that behind the statue, the pregnant rabbit nun Ilois was dragging a large bulging sack with one hand. The sack was bulging with unknown contents; it must have come from the bell tower upstairs, which explained why she hadnât come down for so long.
However, when Mr. Fisher looked at her panting with her hand on her small belly, he felt a guilt similar to making oneâs pregnant wife do dirty and tiring work, even though she wasnât actually pregnant.
âMy goodness, are you trying to move the entire church? Besides, Iâm more curious about how you managed to carry that big sack down from upstairs.â
Emhardt, perched on Mr. Fisherâs shoulder, pursed his lips and mercilessly commented.
âEh? These are Sister Shaluâs belongings, and some are valuable items from inside the church. If we leave, Iâm afraid they will all be stolenâŚâ
Mr. Fisher wordlessly glanced at the jars and bottles in the sack; even the pickled sauerkraut and spices had been packed, it seemed her miserliness rivaled his own.
âValuables? What valuables do you have? Let me take a look.â
Just then, a pair of pancake-like lion ears suddenly appeared behind Mr. Fisher, the ears perked up and shook merrily upon hearing Iloisâs words, and then Mr. Fisher felt someone approach, their eyes shining as they scrutinized the contents of Iloisâs sack.
It was Philis, the money-grubber under Valentinaâs command and a member of the lion-man species.
âTsk, what is this trash? You call these valuables? Got me all excited for nothing⌠Oh, right, I almost forgot, the boss says to hurry up. We still need to catch a boat and leave the Sardinia Female Country.â
After getting a clear look at the items in the sack, Philis was quite disappointed. She disdainfully stepped away from Mr. Fisher, not realizing that her blunt words immediately made the nun Ilois in front of her look pitiful.
âI⌠Iâll just leave these things here in the churchâŚâ
Iloisâs ears drooped a little more, and with a downcast face, she tried to drag the big sack back into her room. But Mr. Fisher could not bear to see her struggle with the load anymore. He effortlessly pulled the large quantity of items back to the front of the room and casually comforted her,
âItâs okay, the Luxiang Castle City Mayor should watch over them for you if heâs not a complete fool, since the Turand Family has bought the placeâŚâ
âMm⌠Mm.â
Ilois, holding her small belly, obediently nodded her head, a faint blush crossing her face as she thought of something. She then followed Mr. Fisher out of the church.
âDong! Dong! Dong!â
She listened to the church bells for the last time, but the peaceful sound didnât give her much courage. She felt somewhat unsure, especially about the journey ahead.
But since she had decided to take this step, to go back and see her already deceased family for one last time, she should muster the courageâŚ
She silently prayed in her heart once more, seeking the Mother Goddess in the skies to watch over and protect her.
The carriage at the door lacked Space Magic but was still spacious. Valentina, Balzac, and Philis were all sitting inside the carriage, while Cardinal Helldor was driving the carriage from outside,
âMr. Fisher, Sister Ilois, please get on quickly. Itâs very cold outside. Weâre heading to the harbor now and will leave the Sardinia Female Country tonightâŚâ
Mr. Fisher nodded, helped Sister Ilois into the carriage first, and was about to board himself when he seemed to notice something. He turned his head lightly toward the side of the carriage, catching sight of a pair of pale silver eyes peeking out from behind the slightly lifted curtain of the car window.
As Mr. Fisher turned to look at those eyes, the curtain suddenly fell down, hiding the view from Valentina behind it.
âForget it, it looks a bit crowded inside. Iâll sit outside with you.â
Mr. Fisher shook his head and said so.
