Lord of Glory

bles, received him as a missionary.
However, he spat out the black tea inside her house.
His action was really rude and uncultured.

“Hmph, why are you like this?! We kindly gave you, a commoner, a black tea but you spit it on the ground!” said the girl on the right who was wearing a corset dress.
Seeing the state of the room, she immediately scolded him, as she didn’t have much social experience.
This person was Paladin's sister.
However, Paladin didn't care about these two.
He simply ignored Emmet's eyes that were glaring at the two beside him.
He quietly looked around.
After confirming that there was no potential danger around, Paladin stood up while his left hand rested on his right hand, ready to erase these potential threats at any time.

“Mr.
Emmet, who is this?”

Just as Paladin was about to make a move, four mercenaries suddenly walked in from behind them.
When the leading warrior, who wore a shield and a sword around his waist, saw Paladin, he immediately asked.
After a quick glance to the back, Paladin immediately lamented how small the world was.

These four people were the four mercenaries who escorted him when he went to Nurba a few months ago.
Orkney, a warrior who had only twenty elements, someone that seemed to be a magic swordsman.
Liriel, the archer, and her fiancé, the assassin.
Paladin didn't pay attention to them; instead, he focused on the team's soul.
The magician, O'Neill! At the moment, the well-informed Paladin noticed the ring on O'Neill's finger at a glance.
It was clearly the symbol of the strongest mage society, Hellitt of the Forest of Towers!

When Emmet saw the mercenaries, he immediately broke the embarrassing atmosphere caused by the black tea by smiling and talking to O'Neill.

“Hahaha.
Your Excellency Master O'Neill, this missionary is sent by my son to deliver a message.” After that, he turned his head and smiled at Paladin before continuing, “These four are the warriors who escorted my son to Nurba! The other day, when my wife sent a letter, I asked them to escort my son home again for a family reunion,” Emmet said with great enthusiasm.

But then, O'Neill suddenly frowned.
The preacher in front of him, whom he should’ve hadn’t met before, gave him a sense of déjà vu.
And it didn't feel good at all.

“Brother, what's the matter?” Orkney noticed O'Neill's strangeness and immediately muttered.
However, O'Neill, who was observing the preacher keenly, saw a strange smile formed on the preacher’s exposed chin.
Suddenly, a strong sense of danger spread throughout his whole body.
O'Neill immediately took a step back and whispered to Orkney in a very serious manner, “Wait and protect me.
Perhaps, there will be a battle soon.”

“Ah?” Before Orkney could react, Emmet, who felt a little uncomfortable seeing Paladin wearing a hood all the time, asked, “Mr.
Preacher, we’re protected from the scorching sun here.
Why don't you take the hood off? Have I asked for your name yet?”

“Oh, is that so?”

Paladin's smile grew more terrifying and he abruptly removed the hood, revealing that black hair and ordinary face.
He smiled and said to Emmet, “Paladin is too lonely there, I hope you can go to see him.”

“That's good, we can leave today.” Paladin's mother, Aaron said so happily.
However, Paladin’s younger sister didn't like this missionary very much.
She was clever, thus she noticed the expression of the mercenaries’ leader, the mysterious and quiet magician who was looking at the missionary’s extremely ordinary face right now.
He looked taken aback, as if he just saw a ghost!
