Crimson Holy See.
It has been 12 and a half months since Maria obtained An Rui's hero chromosome, and Maria, who should have given birth to the bloodline of the saint and the hero more than two months ago, failed to do so.
Everything went beyond Maria's plan.
When Maria had her first morning sickness with the Brave in the Abyss, it was already 5 weeks after getting the chromosomes.
It was also 2 months later that Maria returned to the Holy See with Victor and was canonized as a saint by the Pope.
Logically speaking, Maria's stomach should be slightly bulging.
But Maria's belly doesn't look obvious at all, and at most it's just called fleshy.
After the Pope canonized the saint, Maria couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and began to secretly prepare to give birth according to her own plan.
The preparatory work was done very well. After Maria also applied to the Pope to be promoted to a saint, she went to retreat for more than 7 months.
If all goes well, Maria will silently give birth to the bloodline of the saint and the hero during the retreat, but everything is out of Maria's control.
7 months later, although Maria's belly can be seen to be pregnant, it is not the kind of childbirth at all, and it is about the same as a 5-month-old pregnant woman.
Maria never thought of this.
Maria has been in retreat for more than 8 months, so the clergy had to go to check on Maria's condition.
This inspection frightened the Pope, and the saint was pregnant.
Chastity, holiness, and holiness are what a saint should possess, but the saint they were looking forward to in front of her handed the Pope a bad answer.
The Holy Maiden's pregnancy has cast a layer of dust on the entire Red Moon Holy See, which is a blasphemy to the Red Moon Goddess.
The Pope had to order the revocation of Maria's title of saint, demoting her to a defiler, meaning someone whose otherwise holy body had been defiled.
At the same time, the punishers of the Holy See also prepared to capture Maria and burn her to death.
However, when Maria was arrested, Maria disappeared under the strict supervision of the Holy See.
Holy See State, Diocese of Lyon.
"Quick, quick! House-to-house search! Look at that filth in the house!"
Soldiers of the Holy See, wearing armor and holding halberds, walked along the stone-paved streets.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Open the door! Search the filth!"
The residents in the house were already trembling with fright, and leaned cautiously towards the door, preparing to open the door.
"Bang!"
However, at this time, the Holy See soldiers outside the door kicked open the wooden doors and smashed the resident's heart with the pole of the halberd: "Search and search for filth! Are you covering up? Get out of the way!"
With a wave of his hand, several Holy See soldiers outside the door rushed in.
All the rooms were checked one by one, and apart from the shivering residents, there was no suspicious person.
However, the soldiers of the Holy See did not remember to go, but went through the boxes and turned the cabinets everywhere, and even said in their mouths: "Look if there are any filthy things, and take away any suspected items!"
It's called an inspection, but it's a robbery.
Searching the filth is the favorite task of soldiers directly under the Holy See and soldiers of the Holy See countries. It can be used as an excuse to make a big windfall.
About ten minutes later, after confiscating and appraising the items in the house on the grounds of "suspected filth," the leading soldier slapped a document on the door, and ordered: "Suspected filth once came. Passing your neighborhood, you are likely to be contaminated by the Unclean.
Within a week, buy indulgences from the clergy and repent! "
Speaking of which, the soldiers of the Holy See were like locusts crossing the border and left with their spoils.
The ones who stayed were the local residents who were sobbing together with the order document.
The bad behavior of the soldiers, and the clergy just turn a blind eye. After all, the documents of the gods have led a large number of civilians to come to buy the indulgence, and the clergy have also made a lot of money.
Inside the Cathedral of the Bishop of Lyon, the bishop looked at the Templar Victor beside him and asked, "Your Excellency Victor, haven't you been able to find the filth?"
Victor shook his head slightly and sighed: "No, we are still searching."
The bishop of the Bishop of Lyon said flatteringly: "Your Excellency Victor, I believe you will definitely find the filth."
Victor nodded: "I hope so."
With Victor and Maria returning to the Holy See 9 months ago, in addition to Maria being canonized as a saint, Victor was also promoted to the Grand Commander of the Knights Templar.
The Diocese of Lyon is the seat of the Knights Templar.
Lyon is an independent country in name, but the influence of the Holy See makes Lyon attached to the Holy See.
The Holy See even set up a bishopric in Lyon, thereby arranging the monarch of Lyon and completely controlling Lyon under the Holy See.
That is, these independent countries such as Lyon, but attached to the Holy See of the Red Moon, are called the Holy See.
At this time, the city was in chaos. Outside a warehouse, several soldiers ran over.
"There's a warehouse over there, isn't anyone checking it?"
"Let's go and see what's in the warehouse, maybe the filth is hiding there too!"
"Hey hey, get rich and get rich!"
Just when these soldiers were about to break into the warehouse and go in to loot, a majestic voice sounded: "What are you guys doing?"
The soldiers turned their heads and saw that the great leader of the Knights Templar, His Excellency Victor, was in full armor, riding on a heavy warhorse, staring at them coldly, making them shiver.
Several soldiers quickly put down their weapons and quickly bowed down: "Your Excellency, Commander!"
Victor glanced at the warehouse in front of him, opened his mouth and said, "Are you planning to check this warehouse?"
Several soldiers shook their heads frantically. Although they wanted to say "yes" in their hearts, they couldn't say: "I don't, I'm not, I don't want to."
Victor glared at several soldiers and scolded: "Get out of here if you don't want to!"
"Yes Yes Yes Yes!"
Several soldiers picked up their weapons and ran away, scrambling for fear that the commander of the Knights Templar would throw his inexplicable anger on his head.
After running away, a soldier complained: "The warehouse is not owned by the Knights Templar. Is Your Excellency the Great Commander so annoyed?"
Another soldier whispered: "Gossip, I heard that the commander has been secretly in love with that woman.
After that woman became a filth, it was understandable that something went wrong in the head of the chief.
Let's go quickly, so as not to be caught by the chief. "
"Mmmmmm."
After watching the soldiers run away, Victor looked back at the warehouse, jumped off his horse, walked around to the back of the warehouse, and with a creak, gently pushed open the back door.
The dim warehouse is full of straw, and the humid air smells of rot.
"Quack, quack, quack..."
Victor stepped on the muddy ground in the warehouse step by step, opened the door of a basement with a "squeak", snapped his fingers, and a ball of light suddenly appeared in front of Victor, followed by Victor He went down the stairs.
It is completely different from the muddy ground of the warehouse above and the dim space.
In the basement, this is a clean space built with masonry, and along the way, candlelight one by one also appeared in Victor's eyes.
"Victor? Are you here?"
A woman's voice came over, Victor walked around a corner, and a very warm room appeared in front of him.
I saw a large soft bed on which Maria was sitting in a robe of a saint whose belly was stretched out, holding a book and staring at Victor quietly.
Victor took the food out of the space storage bag and put it on the clean table.
Above are the food and fruits that Victor brought from outside, which can sustain Maria's life.
Maria looked at Victor with a smile and asked, "How are the rumors about me outside?"
Victor took a deep breath, not wanting to tell her about the insults to Maria outside.
Looking at Maria with an optimistic face, Victor said distressedly: "Maria, I..."
Maria stretched out the index finger of her left hand and touched her mouth: "Shh..."
Then he blinked, looked at Victor quietly, and asked, "You believe me, Victor."
Victor nodded.
The timing of Maria's pregnancy is really too strange. If it was said that An Rui did it, it would be impossible. She gave birth as early as 2 months ago.
And Maria's belly now looks about the same size as a 5-month-old pregnant woman. Victor also investigated the different stages of those pregnant women in the Holy See countries.
However, such a 5 month old belly lasted for at least 3 months, which is quite strange.
Maria said that she is still perfect, she is still the saint, and if Victor doesn't believe it, you can check Maria's body.
Victor blushed, the woman he loved said so, how dare he check her body, this is not in line with the teachings.
Maria said that she had a dream that night, dreaming that the goddess of the red moon specially gave her an heir in order to entrust herself to deal with the Demon King's army and the Demon King.
The Holy Maiden remained chaste and holy, but only dreamed of being pregnant.
Maria even vowed to say that the child in her womb must be the Holy Son.
Judging from the time of pregnancy and the fact that Maria was unable to contact anyone during her retreat, it is very likely that Maria was blessed by the goddess of the red moon, so Victor chose to believe the woman he loved dearly. .
Maria didn't expect that it would be such a hassle to get a hero's chromosomes, but fortunately, she made up a reasonable reason under her wit, which fooled Victor.
Oh man.
Maria stretched her stomach, stood up from the bed slowly, walked slowly in front of Victor, gently stroked Victor's cheek, touched the stubble that he had recently grown, and bit her. Biting his lip, he said firmly: "Victor, time will prove everything, this is the blessing of the Moon God.
The Holy See needs the Holy Son in my womb to deal with the Demon King. Only after the Holy Son is born will His Majesty understand that I, Maria, are still a saint who is loyal to the Goddess. "
