Hyperion squeezed Cat Boss a little tighter in her palm, as if asking what was going on.

Cat Boss averted its gaze.

Lanci had indeed been with Sigrid every day for the past month or so. On the way to the northern border, Sigrid protected Lanci, and on the way back to Helrom, Lanci protected Sigrid. The long escape journey involved taking turns on night watch, and they were hardly ever apart.

But it didn't dare tell Hyperion the story of Lanci's journey north.

It seemed Hyperion only knew about Lanci's achievements in the academy and in politics, and didn't know about his achievements in the church—which was the most dangerous thing Lanci did in the Protos Empire.

He not only had a falling out with Bishop Askesan of the Nihilism Church, but even his current relationship with Arch Bishop Sigrid of the Overlord Church was a bit ambiguous!

The more Cat Boss thought about it, the more it felt that its real sins hadn't been discovered by Hyperion yet. Tormented by its conscience, it simply ran away and hid, trembling, under the sofa in the distance.

Besides, it felt that what Sid had said just now was intentional!

She just wanted to tell Hyperion about her relationship with Lanci.

"..."

So Hyperion could only look at Lanci.

Sigrid was also paying attention to Lanci's reaction with a casual glance.

She remembered the noble lady from Milford, the one she met at the rock junction station in Box Hill, who had been stopped by the Nihilism branch.

However, this noble lady didn't seem to recognize that the Saint of Nihilism and the female prisoner she met at the station were them.

Sigrid didn't know why the Saint went out to accept an interview, only to meet this girl again and even bring her back.

But Sigrid looked at the little black cat in Hyperion's hand and understood.

Her intuition was right. The Saint's concern for this noble lady was much higher than for other women.

If this particularly timid little black cat was willing to be close to the noble lady, it meant that her true identity was likely a companion of the Saint from the Southern Continent.

The gears of the grandfather clock in the living room clicked crisply twice, making any sound particularly clear at this moment.

Gloria swallowed. She felt that the atmosphere was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.

Lanci finally sighed and pinched the space between his eyebrows.

"She and I have been through life and death together on the road north, almost dying in the hands of the Nihilism branch several times. We finally managed to escape back today,"

he explained, as if the fatigue of this period had flooded his brow.

"..."

Hyperion was stunned.

She knew how dangerous the north was, because she had just escaped from the clutches of the Nihilism branch to come to the Imperial Capital.

"So that's how it is."

Hyperion murmured, then looked at Lanci with concern.

No wonder Lanci and this woman were together every day, and why Lanci trusted this woman so much.

She didn't know what Lanci had experienced in the past month, that even Lanci would feel his life was hanging by a thread.

Sigrid clicked her tongue softly, feeling unhappy that Lanci had dealt with it so lightly.

But when she recalled how he had taken care of her when they depended on each other along the way, she couldn't bring herself to bother him anymore.

Thinking about it, as the object of the Saint's loyalty, she should be generous. After playing Sid for so long, some of the thoughts of a young girl had inadvertently become a habit.

"You've worked hard."

Sigrid stood up from the sofa, stopped in front of Lanci, made eye contact and praised him.

Then she looked at Hyperion.

"My name is Sid Novia, and I'm Lochi McCarthy's partner. Welcome to our home."

Sigrid extended her hand to Hyperion with gentlemanly elegance.

"Mirian Milford."

Hyperion gave her name and shook Sigrid's soft hand.

After a little observation, she felt that since this cool girl could be so trusted by Lanci, even entrusting her with his life, she shouldn't be a bad person.

It was just that Hyperion felt that Sigrid was particularly emphasizing the roles of host and guest.

"In that case, you've already secured the votes of the Milford territory and part of the Northwest Province for us?"

Sigrid released Hyperion's hand and looked at Lanci again, asking with interest.

Since Lanci had brought this Miss Mirian Milford here, it meant that he had already brought her into the fold.

Before regaining her strength, Sigrid didn't plan to tell anyone about her being a Cardinal, and she believed that Lanci wouldn't reveal this secret to anyone.

She would give the talents recommended by the Saint sufficient starting treatment.

Although Miss Mirian Milford didn't know that the Arch Bishop of the Overlord Church was standing in front of her, shaking hands with the Arch Bishop was basically like paying respects to the leader.

"Miss Sid, what do you mean by votes..."

Hyperion asked in confusion.

Did they want to manipulate the votes to make a certain Cardinal win?

However, Sigrid believed that she would soon make Hyperion understand, and she looked at Gloria, who was waiting on the sidelines like a servant.

"Gloria, do you still have a lot of High Priest Saint Seals here?"

Sigrid asked.

"Yes, I do."

Gloria nodded. Sigrid had stored a lot of things with her before.

Gloria needed to show her direct subordinate status to other High Priests, so she would use her direct subordinate status. She also had the High Priest Saint Seal that Sigrid had given her, which could turn her into a church member on the surface.

The next moment, when Hyperion noticed the purple Overlord Saint Seal that Gloria took out, her pupils suddenly contracted.

She grabbed Lanci's arm in the first moment, wanting to take him out of this mansion!

"Wait..."

Before Lanci could finish his sentence, Hyperion pulled his hand, and an even faster figure had already stepped out.

Sigrid firmly restrained Hyperion's wrist.

The moment Sigrid realized that Hyperion had touched Lanci, her eyes changed completely.

Hyperion glared at Sigrid with extreme vigilance.

She found that this woman seemed to be at the fifth tier, just like her.

Even though her own strength was already quite strong among those of the same tier, she was unable to twist free after being grabbed by her.

Now they were all in the safe zone of the school. Once anyone attacked and injured someone, they would be immediately suppressed by the barrier, and the damage would also be isolated by the barrier.

Obviously, this woman named Sid hadn't used her full strength yet.

"Let go."

Sigrid said in a commanding tone.

"...Absolutely not."

After understanding that Sigrid was a member of the Rebirth Church, Hyperion's eyes were filled with unyielding hostility.

"...!"

Cat Boss watched this hellish scene, trembling under the sofa.

On the left, Hyperion's back was to it, her departing figure, like she wanted to drag Lanci away from this place.

On the right, Lanci had a look of astonishment on his face, his forearm was being held by Hyperion.

And Sigrid stood between the two, her palms down, grabbing Hyperion's wrist with a stern expression.

These three hadn't even had emotional disputes yet, and they were already about to fight!
