The Holy Maiden of Light Wants to Change Jobs

After waking up peacefully for the first time in a while, Sylvia buried her head in the quilt that was soft enough to sink in, and let out a satisfied sigh. This was really the best sleep she had ever had since she came to this world.

Even though she didn’t know what was awaiting her in the future, at this moment, Sylvia was already satisfied.

Until Daisy’s whispered inquiry asking if she was awake came from the door.

“Yeah, I’m up.”

As soon as Sylvia’s words fell, the door was opened. Daisy was holding a plate in both hands, followed by three maids, each of whom also had something in their hands.

“Lady Sylvia, please let us serve you.”

Seeing that Sylvia seemed a little nervous when she saw the strangers, Daisy took a few steps to block their vision, and reached out as if to help Sylvia get out of bed.

Sylvia, who had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before, waved her hand and stretched her legs to get out of bed. However, she underestimated her current height, and her body was still a little weak from when she woke up, so she would have almost hit her head if she was not careful.

Fortunately, Daisy held her up.

“Pfft.”

A small discordant voice suddenly sounded in the room, and Sylvia and Daisy turned to look at the maid in the middle at the same time.

She seemed to know that she was wrong. After she made this sound, her eyes widened and her face was full of panic. She knelt down with her legs still straight, and it was painful to hear the thud.

“Mistress, my lady, I, I was wrong!”

After speaking, there was a continuous thumping sound, and a small pool of blood on the ground.

The other two maids also knelt down in a panic, and despite being under such circumstances, the things in their hands were still as stable as Mount Tai, which showed how well they usually trained.

Sylvia’s head, which was still a little confused, was instantly cleared. She was about to speak, but Daisy, who was supporting her, pinched her arm slightly.

She successfully stopped Sylvia’s movements.

She saw Sylvia’s face sinking so she quickly turned around and knelt down to Sylvia, “I’m sorry for their rudeness, Lady Sylvia.”

She still had a slightly immature face, but her eyes and complexion were full of seriousness. Sylvia was obviously smart, and she suddenly realized something from Daisy’s actions.

“It’s okay, I’ll let you handle this matter.”

There was a casual tone in her calmness. If she hadn’t known that Sylvia was born as a commoner, she wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference between her now and those young ladies with excellent backgrounds.

Daisy’s serious eyes flashed with determination.

As for the guilty maid among the three maids below, sheer panic flashed in her eyes. How could this be?

This was not the same as what her lady said!

As a maid, she still made such a low-level mistake. If she was handed over to Daisy, her fate would definitely be bad.

The maid was really scared this time, and kowtowed harder, but Daisy would not let her go.

Daisy took a quick glance at them.

The two maids next to her had a clear division of labor. One blocked the maid’s mouth to stop her movements, and the other quickly cleaned the blood on the ground and put the things they brought in where they should have been.

Then the two of them, one on each side, dragged the maid and disappeared in front of Sylvia.

It took only a few blinks of time, and Sylvia rubbed her eyes unconsciously, making sure it wasn’t an illusion.

“Daisy? Give me an explanation.”

Sylvia sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Daisy who was still kneeling. She actually already had some guesses in her heart. After all, watching so many movies, TV shows, and anime was not for nothing.

Although she was a little inexperienced, Daisy’s actions had prevented her from doing anything rashly.

“Lady Sylvia, you really don’t look like a commoner.”

Daisy straightened her upper body and looked directly at Sylvia. Their eyes were facing each other, and the complexity inside hers was not like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

In fact, such behaviour was very offensive. Daisy, a maid, could not have not known it, but she still did it.

Sylvia nodded slightly and did not answer. She did not look offended, but motioned for Daisy to continue.

Although she had entered the temple successfully, it did not mean that she could sit back and relax. Without absolute safety guaranteed, the character that Sylvia maintained for herself had also changed. After all, sometimes a silly naïve façade was useful, but it would also make people look down on her.  It was better to be adaptable to make people confused.

It was this appearance that made Daisy no longer worry about anything.

“I was originally the daughter of the earl, but because of a mistake in my family, I ended up becoming a maid in the temple.”

“But Lady Sylvia, the maids in the temple can only stay till at most fifteen years old, and then they will be given to nobles or royalty.”

“I don’t want to be some nobleman’s toy!”

Daisy’s eyes were surprisingly bright when she said this, and her confidence was not without reason.

Daisy was really good-looking, with fiery red hair and delicate facial features. She had developed a very hot figure at her age, and in a few years, she could be called a top-notched beauty.

Sylvia was not immediately taken by Daisy’s “defection”. She was indeed in a state of isolation and helplessness. Daisy’s reason was also very moving, but…

“But I’m just a commoner.”

Sylvia shook her feet, her expression full of doubt.

Daisy, however, felt that she might have really made the right bet!

“Lady Sylvia, with your ability, it is very likely that you will become a candidate for the Holy Maiden position and go to the Holy Land to be tested. I truly hope to serve you forever.”

Oh, I see, she wants to find herself a thigh to hug in advance.

Sylvia knew that the commotion she had caused in the church previously was not small, but she did not expect to rise directly to the stage of being a saint candidate.

There was also the Holy Land mentioned by Daisy, which was a very important place for the Light religion. Sylvia hated that she had received too little information now.

“Can I really decide such a thing on my own?”

Although they were in a room without a third person, Sylvia thought about the mysterious ability of Adonis yesterday. She didn’t know if anyone was peeping at her in the dark, so she still pretended to be a little smart and precocious child. Her face was very calm, but her hand was constantly grabbing the quilt. It could be seen that her heart was not so calm.

She herself was her biggest trump card, and she couldn’t easily reveal her nature and weaknesses.

Daisy didn’t know what Sylvia thought about this, but she immediately said, “Yes, each saint candidate can bring a maid of her own. Lady Sylvia, my family is no longer there and there are no other forces behind me. If you permit me, I will be your most loyal servant.”

Daisy put her hands on the ground and lowered her head slowly until it touched the ground. It seemed that if Sylvia didn’t agree, she would go on like this.

“Well, let’s see how you act.”

Sylvia didn’t immediately agree, but this sentence made Daisy raise her head in joy, her eyes even sparkling with tears of excitement, as if she would definitely perform well.

And she quickly gave her first “merit”.

In the process of serving Sylvia, dressing, washing and eating breakfast, Daisy told her what was hidden behind the maid just now.

For any trained professional maid, especially in a place like the temple, it was impossible to make such a low-level mistake. She did it naturally because someone had instructed her to do so.

And that person was probably no one except the other two saint candidates prepared by the temple before Sylvia came.

One was the young lady of a powerful duke’s family, and the other was the princess of the royal family. The two had similar identities and the same power of light. Each temple could only send one saint candidate to the Holy Land, so the two were fighting fiercely.

Unexpectedly, the civilian Sylvia was implicated halfway.

Although a good family background was an advantage, the most important thing for the Light Church to choose a saint was the will of God. As long as the God of Light liked it, it could be anyone, not to mention commoners or even slaves.

It was not like there had been no such examples before.

The miracle caused by Sylvia also happened in public. The temple did not know if this was intentional or not, and the news was not blocked, so it was quickly spread.

Now the outside world has spread all kinds of specious things about Sylvia, such as her appearance and the appearance of the miracle at that time.

The two candidates and the families behind them naturally also got the news.

But Sylvia had already entered the temple at this moment, and they dared not harm Sylvia here even if they had an ocean full of courage. They could only take it one step at a time, testing the limits and then taking follow-up actions.

That was the role of the maid just now. From that little incident just now, they could analyze Sylvia’s character. If she was really just an ordinary little girl, it would be interesting to have such a “Holy Maiden”.

After listening to Daisy, Sylvia considered her serious analysis. She really believed that Daisy was indeed the daughter of an earl, and that she could see through the careful thoughts of those nobles.

After swallowing the last mouthful of the delicious unknown dairy product, Sylvia got up and stretched, “I see. Can I know when Lord Adonis will come?”

Daisy packed the tableware and took a small step back, “Lord Adonis will have lunch with Lady Sylvia. You can rest for a while.”

Sylvia had got up a little late, but there was still some time before lunch. After hearing what Daisy said, she stopped asking questions. Instead, she sat on a chair beside her and looked at Daisy with interest.

“That’s right, you can continue to tell me about Lord Adonis and the temple. I don’t want to make a fool of myself later.”

Daisy would naturally seize this opportunity and a more detailed “Daisy Report” than yesterday’s slowly entered Sylvia’s mind.

In a certain room of the temple, Adonis waved his sleeves, and the picture on the wall disappeared. It looked just like the situation in Sylvia’s room.

“Fortunately, she’s not stupid, so her chance of becoming a saint is even greater.”

Adonis paced back and forth in the room while thinking, and then adjusted Sylvia’s original “ingratiation plan “. He had become a bishop at such a young age. Obviously, his ambition and wisdom were not lacking.

Sylvia might just be able to become a shortcut for him to climb up.
