NOVEL NEXT Chapter 813: D292. Backlight
"Unknowingly, more than a year has passed."
After the Holy Paladin's gatekeeper confirmed her identity, the Noble Lady, holding a small black cat in her arms, stepped over the threshold and into a small, delicately designed chapel, complete with all its facilities.
Upon entering, one could immediately see the massive cocoon of light at the center of the chapel.
The cocoon emanated a brilliance as blue as the ocean and as transparent as sunlight. As the chapel's doors slowly closed, the entire building seemed to sink into a shallow sea under the sun, with light and shadow shifting dreamily.
After the Hero drank the Heavenly Cup and sank into Awakening, this small chapel was constructed around her at a visible speed.
Over the past year, the Noble Lady came to check on it almost daily.
Compared to a year ago, at thirteen, she had matured significantly in both appearance and temperament.
She had reached the age where she could drink wine and even seek a marital engagement as a noble.

D70=45
For adults, repetitive daily life makes time pass by unnoticed, making the years seem short, but for a growing child, a year is long enough to bring earth-shattering changes.
Without any genetic defects or undergoing Elementalization, over this year, with the enhancement of powerful Magic Power, her height soared and had recently surpassed that of the Hero before she went into slumber.
Through a year of training and learning, she gradually mastered her Strength, nearing a Legendary level, exuding the dignity and confidence befitting the daughter of a Border Count in her every movement.
If it weren't for the slight childishness lingering on her small face, she could easily be the center of attention at any elite noble's social ball.
Though she had grown significantly, looking up at the cocoon of light that remained still throughout the year, the Noble Lady's expression could not conceal her worry.
"I didn't expect the Hero sister to sleep for so long... will she be okay?"

Some special Professionals require a long time to advance, which is not unusual in various Guilds, especially in the Warlock Association.
The Church even had a Legendary Monk who in pursuit of understanding the Path of Nature, sat in the wilderness for years, unmoved by wind and rain, grass and trees climbing over them, turning into the rocks and dead trees.
But the Hero has always advanced at a pace beyond anyone's imagination, so fast that simply keeping up with her shadow was an exhausting effort.
But the once so vibrant Hero sister has suddenly stopped like this.
Though rationally understanding that this is normal and even a good thing, emotionally, it's hard to adjust.
The Noble Lady sighed softly.
Noticing the downcast mood of their master, the Night Tiger comfortingly patted her hand with its paw, then leapt from her arms to stretch.
Just as the Noble Lady was about to find a seat, steady and calm footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the small chapel.
"There's no need to worry so, Your Majesty is growing robustly, I can feel her Strength."
A gentle and elegant voice sounded, and a Gleaming Scale Serpent, dressed in a priest's robe and appearing like a bishop, stepped from the shadows, nodding to the Noble Lady.
"Yes, I know. When the Hero sister awakens, she'll definitely give us a big surprise."
The Noble Lady's expression relaxed, a hint of a smile surfacing in her eyes.
"So I must also prepare to welcome Her Majesty," said the Gleaming Scale Serpent lightly.
The Hero's closest friends and the Familiar lifted their heads, each lost in thought, gazing at the sacred cocoon of light.
As if sensing their presence, the light emitted by the cocoon deepened subtly, making the light and shadow within the small chapel increasingly surreal, as if isolated from the world.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and after the harsh winter, comes the scorching summer.
When the Hero's Awakening continued for several days with no signs of ending, the Church quickly organized personnel, and in less than a week, constructed a refined chapel around her under the Heroic Soul Monument.
