Ordel nodded with a smile at their affectionate concern.
“Thanks to the Three Sovereign Gods’ protection, I’ve completely recovered. Thank you all for worrying about me.”
“Oh gods, thank you.”
The priestesses clutched their chests in relief.
The priestesses had all lost sleep from worry after hearing that the newborn young master was truly an extraordinarily large baby that would go down in history.
Six years ago, Grace, the daughter born to Trisha Siery, had also boasted considerable weight, but Iliya was even bigger, so their concern was only natural.
However, true to being the Great Holy Maiden beloved by the Three Sovereign Gods, Ordel appeared again in perfect health after just two weeks.
The priestesses who cherished and respected Ordel the most were greatly relieved.
“Still, just to be safe, you should get checked once more by the High Priestess.”
“This isn’t the time for that. I’ll go fetch her right away. She’ll be free anyway since there are no visitors.”
One priestess rushed off. There was no time to stop her.
“No, I’m really fine.”
Even the Sun God had certified that she was okay.
However, the priestesses who absolutely refused to believe Ordel’s “I’m fine” shook their heads firmly.
“Still, that won’t do. Here, sit down!”
The priestesses laid a soft cushion on the bench that received the most sunlight in the garden and seated Ordel.
Someone began massaging her shoulders, while another priestess started on her hands.
A few disappeared, saying they’d bring something warm to drink.
“I lived like this when I was confined to my bedroom too. Now that I’m outside, I still can’t move as I please.”
Ordel let out a hollow laugh as she looked at Lute.
With the priestesses focusing only on her, Lute stood there blankly like a useless decoration.
However, his face was full of smiles, happy that everyone was taking care of Ordel’s health.
“Holy Maiden.”
Before long, High Priestess Airic and Seth, High Priest arrived together.
“Wait, why is the High Priest here too…?”
“I’m also worried about the Holy Maiden’s health.”
Seth smiled warmly.
Ordel gave up and extended her hand to Airic.
She wanted to get examined quickly, get confirmation that she was healthy quickly, and escape from all this overprotection quickly.
Through their clasped hands, Airic’s characteristic warm spring breeze-like divine power swept through her body.
“Hmm, you’re healthy just as you said, Holy Maiden.”
Everyone, including Ordel who had been watching Airic with an anxious face, let out joyful screams.
Of course, Ordel’s scream was the loudest.
“See? I told you I’m fine now.”
“Thank goodness, really thank goodness.”
“Then we should prepare a celebration party now!”
“Come on, let’s hurry and get ready!”
Their hearts lightened by hearing what they wanted to hear, the priestesses scattered with much brighter faces.
Probably within less than an hour, everyone in the main temple would know the news that Ordel had recovered.
“Congratulations. You’ve been through a lot, Holy Maiden.”
“Now we can really breathe easy.”
As the surroundings became quiet, Airic and Seth each offered a word of congratulation.
“How did the main temple become a den of overprotection?”
“Well, it’s as if everyone’s lives were saved thanks to the Holy Maiden. It’s natural to worry about you.”
Ordel sighed at Airic’s words telling her to endure it in the future too.
She hadn’t done those things to make them feel such a sense of debt.
Still, well, it’s not a bad feeling.
Rather, it’s embarrassing and grateful.
“By the way, are you still not receiving visitors?”
“Yes.”
When Ordel asked while looking around the garden that had no one but Sun God priestesses, Seth nodded.
The Sun God’s Main Temple had stopped receiving any visitors since her due date approached, for Ordel’s safety.
Instead, some priestesses went to Rubar Village, the closest to the main temple, to meet those who came seeking prayer or healing.
It had already been over two months since they started doing this.
“There’s the Holy Maiden’s health issue, and it’s not good for young master Iliya either.”
The main temple received the Sun God’s blessings the most, so there was little concern about diseases spreading, but still, a newborn was the most vulnerable being in the world.
Noise wasn’t good either, so they still had no intention of opening their doors.
Even though Ordel and Iliya’s bedroom was in the safest place in the main temple, it was better to prepare for any possible situation.
“Thank you for being considerate. But quite some time has passed, and anyway Iliya can only meet limited people, so let’s slowly start receiving visitors.”
“Then we’ll start by receiving only limited numbers twice a week. Also, those with serious illnesses will continue to receive treatment only in Rubar Village as before.”
“Good.”
Ordel smiled with satisfaction at Seth’s neat arrangement.
She had been away from the main temple’s affairs for over two months, but Airic and Seth handled work so well that she wasn’t worried at all.
Plus Lute had helped too.
“Then we’ll take our leave now. Congratulations on your full recovery, Holy Maiden.”
Airic and Seth exchanged warm greetings with Ordel, then bowed to Lute and left.
“Finally, just the two of us.”
Lute quickly sat next to Ordel and intertwined their fingers.
“The main temple only has your fanatics, so I thought it would take a long time, but they withdrew faster than expected.”
“Fanatics is too harsh.”
“Then they’re not?”
“…”
Ordel couldn’t bring herself to say they weren’t.
Honestly, she sometimes thought the same thing.
“But it’s strange. When I think of fanatics, there are certain kids who come to mind first, but what happened to those Three Musketeers…?”
“Honey!”
Lute, whose face had been melting with happiness at their long-awaited date, cried out urgently.
Ordel’s mouth reflexively stopped, but it was already too late.
“Holy Maiiiiden!”
“Holy Maiiiiden!”
“Ordeeeeel!”
From far away, three familiar voices could be heard loudly.
Seeing Lute’s frustrated expression, Ordel felt very sorry.
“Speak of the devil and he appears.”
It was the appearance of the most fearsome tiger trio.
Idella, Monica, and Jeremy.
The three people called the Three Musketeers of the Sun God’s Main Temple were now famous throughout the continent.
Even after ‘Evil’ disappeared, followers who remained in secret had once created a new organization that defiled the name of the Three Sovereign Gods.
By the time it reached Ordel’s ears through Lute’s information network, who was still running merchant guilds, they had already taken control of regions at the edge of the continent.
They had deliberately chosen the place farthest from the Sun God’s Main Temple to avoid Ordel’s eyes.
Anyway, since the real ‘Evil’ had been destroyed, no matter how much those guys gathered, they couldn’t accomplish anything tremendous, but they couldn’t just be left alone either.
Ordel sent only the Three Musketeers instead of Seth, High Priest, who said he would go himself.
And they achieved their mission at 200%.
As soon as they arrived, Jeremy infiltrated among them to gather information, Monica planned and caught them all in one sweep, and Idella calmed the confused people with her tremendous divine power.
In the end, they converted all the people who had been deceived by the followers into Sun God believers and returned triumphantly.
After that, the Three Musketeers became the second most famous names on the continent after Ordel and Lute.
From then on, they often traveled around the empire in Ordel’s place, visiting Sun God temples in various regions.
Ordel was happy to have less work, the Sun God’s Main Temple was happy to show that they had strong people other than Ordel, and the Three Musketeers were happy to learn the main temple’s work in advance.
It formed a perfect balance, but there was one side effect.
Namely, as the Three Musketeers became busier with work, their time with their beloved Holy Maiden Ordel decreased.
Because of this, whenever they saw Ordel, they would drop everything and rush over to stick close by her side.
Today was no different.
