Chapter 15 Chief Priestess

The fat man had been tackled, but, to his greatest surprise, the little girl was also knocked over and several pairs of eyes screamed hysterically. Seeing the little girl twenty meters above the glittering buildings illuminated by various lights. Galerna is fast, as fast as the wind and as light as a feather. Captures so tenderly the frightened little red figure, which is curled up like a bundle against Galerna's chest. Pulling the collar of her robe so tightly, it was as if the little girl's life was in Galerna's hands.

What should have been a perfect show, now, has two problems occurring. Hannah left the stage, and Galerna left the stage too, to help a little girl. A commotion ensues.

Several pairs of eyes looked hatefully at the little girl in Galerna's arms, accidentally hearing whispers and angry voices everywhere.

Galerna didn't care about the uproar, the most important thing now was to save the almost chaotic parade. Galena rushed back to the stagecoach, without Hannah to be her chaperone.

Don't know where Hannah went until now she hasn't come back. Decide what's best. Continuing the parade showing holy magicians fighting evil creatures. The difference was that this time there was no Hannah beside Galerna, instead the figure of a little girl who kept snuggling up to Galerna's chest. Between a mix of pity and amusement.

One hand was holding a little girl and the other hand was holding a sword. It wasn't that hard to fight with just one hand, while the other hand was carrying the weight of the tiny human in Galerna's hands. No problem. It seems that both Galerna and the cast of evil creatures can work together to please the disappointed audience again.

Without warning, the evil creature brandished a scythe. Galerna was as fast as a strong wind, dodging the sharp scythe, hovering two meters above the evil creature's head. Landed smoothly behind and swung his sword. It turned out that the evil creature was moving fast, causing the clink of metal to rub against each other. With every swing of the weapon, sparks splashed from the two clashing weapons.

The audience returned to normal. Enthusiasm, amazement, and encouragement for the man magician who is fighting fiercely against evil creatures, to protect the crops that will be given to the people of Phasiarova Kingdom.

Every slash, and clink, several times dodged. The atmosphere of the battle began to get serious, there were no more performances featuring grandiose actions. The audience was witnessing a battle that was so deadly and terrifying.

The little girl in Galerna's arms fell, the little girl was between fear and unafraid. Several times those tiny hands tightened their grip on Galerna's robes, then loosened again. However, that petite face didn't have the slightest expression of fear, but calm.

Galerna spun around, dodging the scythe whose tip was so sharp. Galerna prepared to channel magic energy into the sword. Another moan stopped Galerna from channeling magic energy. Her gaze fell on the huge horned figure. The evil creature held the left waist which seemed to be injured, not knowing what happened, even though Galerna's sword had not grazed any part of the evil creature.

It was as if an invisible sharp blade had injured an evil being.

Galerna was astonished, and so was the evil creature, as if a third person had joined in on the fight. Even though on the carriage stage, there was only Galerna who played the wizard, Phasiarova's student who played the evil creature, and the little girl who was in Galerna's arms.

There was no way, that small and fragile girl could do unexpected things. That's according to Galerna. It's time for Galerna to end the show, with reinforcements that he can't explain. Galerna could end this show as soon as possible, but at least Galerna wants to give more satisfaction to the audience who are experiencing disappointment.

In one stab, the blade of Tener Serena's sword hit the heart, and the evil creature fell to the ground on the carriage stage.

Cheers resounded along the main street of the Rova capital. The victory of the wizard man who has defeated evil creatures to protect the products of the earth.

One by one the residents of the Phasiarova Kingdom began to crowd the horse-drawn carriages carrying offerings of the produce. There was almost an uproar and commotion during the distribution of the produce. Several armies of mages guarded the produce offerings, keeping order in the inhabitants of the Phasiarova Kingdom.

Distributing evenly the produce that will be a blessing from heaven to the people of the Phasiarova Kingdom.

It's nice to see the people of the Phasiarova Kingdom so happy, excited, and giving thanks for the gifts of heaven and the gods. What Galerna saw before his eyes, Galerna wanted to be able to make his people smile happily. Maybe with this marriage alliance, the kingdom and people are protected by Terrace and Phasiarova's marriage alliance. The Lagarde Kingdom cannot move, threaten or oppress its people.

"Did I hit you too hard? Are your wounds okay?" Galerna asked worriedly.

The large figure walked as before, though it held its painful waist. The large figure removed the mask covering his face. Too so heavy on head costume and clothes. Revealing the handsome face of a friendly young man, with sharp eyebrows.

"No need to worry I'm really worried about my sister. Did I hit her too hard?"

"Indra seems to be in trouble with Queen Sierra again," Galerna said sympathetically.

Hannah's older brother, Indra loves his half-sister very much. Even though their mother and Indra were different, they were only Qing Harris' illegitimate children.

"Galerna, it's better that kid, you return it to the one in charge."

Galerna didn't realize, the little girl kept hiding her tiny face in her chest, even some of the magician troops who tried to release the little girl from Galerna's arms had quite a hard time. It seemed the little girl couldn't let go of Galerna. What else can we do?

"It seems she just wants to be with me. So be it, I'd better take her to the last stop of the parade," said Galerna, glancing at the little girl who was gripping her robe so tightly.

***

The Earth Heaven's Blessing Festival continues, although there is a small incident that everyone doesn't expect. A woman, is not so old according to Galerna, just because of their youthful appearance and smile.

The old lady was carrying two little red velvet boxes. The way the old woman walked was so graceful and smooth, her beautiful white robes were in everyone's eyes, to Galerna it even reminded her of The White Smiling Weeping figure.

The figure of old woman was the Chief Priestess of the Phasiarova Empire, becoming the priestess at the Peak of the Inyudha Great Temple.

Before the Head Priestess of the Kingdom Phasiarova handed over the red velvet box. A figure that Galerna knew ran from behind and stopped right beside Galerna. Hannah arrives before the sacred witch couple's ritual of silence begins. Panting, as if the girl had run a marathon.

"Where have you been Hannah?" whispered Galerna.

"There's something I can't explain."

Galerna knew that Hannah always didn't like being asked in-depth questions, to be more precise Galerna also didn't want to ask too many questions. Most importantly, Hannah had returned just before the ritual of self-absoluteness began inside the Peak of the Inyudha Grand Temple.
