Chapter 131 - Daily Life Or The Continuation Of A Horror Movie? (part 1)

Returning to the Abbey Matteo.

Naill woke up feeling much better, his body lighter and he rolled over in the comfortable bed, he hadn't slept so well for many days and in such a comfortable bed.

To escape from his older brother he had the help of a childhood friend who is a priest in the capital of Reino North Light, getting an ID and a registration to enter as a novice in the capital's abbey, but his older brother found out what ended. for making him flee to another abbey.

Running away is a strong word, as it just seemed like a strong recommendation from the abbey for a person as "undisciplined" like him to be sent to a place where he had less family influence to give more humility and character.

Naill sighed sitting on the bed and stretching, he looked around and sighed with some regret, he wanted to go unnoticed but ended up in a crazy mess just because he wanted to relieve himself.

He had gone to relieve himself outside the room, when he was returning a "holy knight" tried to attack him, although Naill was afraid of the man's power, he ran and as it was a little dark he thought he could escape and that his attacker hadn't seen his face because of the poor lighting.

In an attempt to escape the rider he went up to the next floor to hide, but the man seemed to have become a sprinter all of a sudden, so the young man ran up to the third floor to hide in a room and lock the door.

It didn't do much good for him to try to escape, as he was caught and almost raped, so all that happened, he was helped by another young man and then an angel appeared to them.

Everything else felt like some kind of nightmare he'd been having after studying the myths and stories about the wars of angels and demons in untold history classes.

Yes, the abbey course had such a subject to inspire young people and impress them with heroic myths and scary stories about the punishments of sinners.

Emery just looking at this could tell it's just a form of brainwashing, which was quite common in the sects, cults, and some religions.

Anael was watching the young man who got up to open the curtains and some of the windows, the still cool breeze shook the fabric of the curtains and brought a little freshness to the room.

The spirit of light set fire to the fireplace, startling Naill who turned his gaze to Anael who took on a semi-corporeal form. The blond man's gaze was very hostile, but Naill didn't mind too much and sat up in bed.

The two stared at each other for a while until Naill's stomach seemed to complain about hunger and he was a little embarrassed.

Anael despised the young human a little more but remained silent in a corner of the room. He was now a slave… Anael ground his teeth in anger just thinking that he was now being held by a weak and dirty human.

But what choice did he have with the archangel threatening him?

In Emery's room, he was facing a pretty tense situation right now.

"I don't want to wear clothes!"

Arabeth said petulantly, his cat tail swinging arrogantly from side to side, his chin up and his lips full and pink in a pout.

"You can't walk around naked!"

Emery was between wanting to laugh and throw the clothes in Arabeth's pretty face, but seeing that face that reminded him of his favorite actor, Mu Qiao, he couldn't be angry and was very patient in explaining to the Demon Marquis about the human rules of dress and about the shame of nudity.

"It's not like they can do anything to me" Arabeth stubbornly said smiling with arrogance, he was stronger than any human, he could run away naked and who would catch him?

Ah, he didn't know what it was like to be ashamed.

"Would you like to help me?" Emery complained to Azarphy, but he only heard the clatter of silverware, the archangel was unavailable at the moment.

Bao very wisely went to hide in the same blanket Giovanni was still sleeping on, his furry body ended up being embraced by the young man who sighed with satisfaction.

On the other hand, Father Rutger was in pain as he ate the porridge in the canteen, Knight Levi only released him when the sunlight touched the bed, which meant many hours of physical and mental torture.

After the first Mass, he went back to his quarters, Father Rutger already received some strange looks and some comments about how he was being undisciplined for not having attended the first Mass of the day.

What the man ignored these people with a hard smile and went to get the food sitting in isolation while eating the watery food.

"Brother Rutger, there are eggs and hot potato bread today too" A tall, thin man in a long black tunic approached Rutger.

He was one of the priests who were consecrated two years ago, being stationed at the Abbey Matteo that year after the pandemic's devastation.

"Brother Dante, I'm not very hungry," Rutger said politely, refusing, but the plate of bread, eggs, and cheese was placed beside him along with a mug of hot milk.

"Food is important for us to continue serving the God of Light, we have to take advantage of it since the Abbey is being generous because of the arrival of people from the capital"

Dante Bernardi was a relatively young 21-year-old priest, talented enough to attend next year's holy knight course in the capital.

He would have gone sooner if not for the pandemic and the devastation that followed the following year, now he was quite happy with the arrival of the people from the capital, when it was all over there, he would come back with these people from the capital.

"Brother Dante, you shouldn't speak ill of the abbey so openly," Rutger warned with rare goodwill at the priest's kindness.

"I know, I know, don't be too old Brother Rutger, we only have a small difference," Dante said sitting down with his own tray of food.

Rutger looked at Dante's not-very-pretty face, which had some chicken pox marks on his face, not much, but against the man's fair skin and no beard to cover it up, it was very obvious.

However, Rutger wasn't overly bothered by this and his mood lightened slightly when Dante ate in silence without asking anything and being curious about anything.

Mattias, on the other hand, woke up slightly startled to find himself hugging Bryan in the old cabin. It had rained heavily the night before and he couldn't make it back to his room, ending up falling asleep while talking to the dark elf.

The soft pink hair was spread over Mattias's arm, he stood for a moment not wanting to move so as not to wake the other boy, but he had missed the first mass of the morning and the dormitory supervisor would look for him.

He had to get back soon.

"Bryan...Bryan..."

Mattias called for a while, but the dark elf seemed to be sleeping soundly, he didn't know what else to do and tried to take his arm away, only then did Bryan open his eyes suddenly which scared the novice a little.

The dark elf looked more scared than he did as he quickly walked away and groped around for something like a weapon, but Mattias stopped him by holding onto the boy's thin arms.

"Calm down Bryan... I'm... Yes, calm down"

Mattias said in a soft voice until Bryan was quiet, still keeping a suspicious look and his body tense. The novice let go of his arms and moved away from a little which made Bryan calmer.

The terror in his eyes was so heavy that Mattias felt guilty and a heavy heart at the thought of what could have happened to make him act so fiercely after waking up.

"I'm leaving now... I'll come back later, I'll try at least... There's food on the table"

Mattias said getting up and going to the door getting his things, his green eyes as the forest followed the novice's movements, but Bryan didn't say anything even after watching the door close behind the young man.

Bryan hugged himself and looked to the side where Mattias was lying beside him, the feelings were strange but not hateful.

However, he couldn't help the fear he felt and the confusion of the first morning, after so many months in the dark and being tortured daily.

It wasn't that he was ungrateful, but the trembling and distrust was something he couldn't help when surprised.

Bryan got up and got some bread and wine, he ate silently sitting by the portable heater, he felt a chill that never seemed to go away.

On the other hand, Mattias felt guilty and a little sad that the friendship made that night had fallen apart in the morning, but he told himself it was for the best since he wanted Bryan to leave soon.

Matteo Abbey was quite lively, but the excitement had to be postponed by finding two new bodies of priests in their beds.
