Chapter 285
Bishop's POV
"You three are so stunning."
"Thank you... but what about accessories for this dress?" Fleur asked.
"Yes, yes, all of these are national treasures," Rosalia remarked.
"Even the princess doesn't wear something like this... it's too extraordinary," Elsa added.
"Well~ I requested them from the church... I guess," the bishop said.
"That's right, everyone. You should not compare what even a princess wears to mere mortals... Since you are Serena-sama's fiancé, feel free to ask for anything, be it jewelry or whatever you desire. How about we crush the Pope's crown and make you some exquisite accessories? It's magnificent, and even for the Pope..." the bishop suggested.
"Uh... that's a joke, right?" Fleur inquired.
"We can't accept that," Rosalia said.
"Are you teasing us?" Elsa questioned.
"We're not teasing! It's the church's duty to procure whatever the woman Serena-sama loves desires. Please tell us whatever you wish for; we'll obtain it at any cost," the bishop reassured.
"You're joking, right?" Fleur persisted.
"Well, that's great, but is it true?" Rosalia pressed.
"Would a request for a magical sword under some enchantment also be accepted?" Elsa wondered.
"It's not a joke... and a sword? Let's inform the Pope about it, and we can get one of the church's magic swords. But for now, please enjoy the Date," the Bishop confirmed.
"Seriously? Thank you!" Fleur exclaimed.
"No, we can provide such things without limit... Now, let's head to the carriage," the Bishop directed.
"A carriage?" Fleur questioned.
Is that really a carriage...
"It was originally an eight-horse unicorn carriage exclusively for the Pope! But this time, it has been modified for Serena-sama's exclusive use. The church's emblem is engraved on it, so there will be no checks anywhere. It can pass through checkpoints and gates without stopping. Just to be safe, ten knights will ride horses for close protection, and six Pegasus Knights will provide aerial escort... Everyone is dressed in formal attire for close protection... Now, please get on," the Bishop explained.
"Are you sure it's okay to ride this?" Fleur asked.
"It's the best carriage in the world," Rosalia assured.
"Amazing!" Elsa exclaimed.
I escorted the three of them and got on the carriage later.
Dating seems quite challenging.

Serena's POV
"Serena-sama, what does this mean?" Fleur questioned.
"This brooch is so valuable that it can't even be assigned a price, but why are you giving it to me? It's probably on a level even the princess doesn't possess," Rosalia wondered.
"That's true, but obtaining a magical sword is incredibly difficult... I can't believe you're giving it to me... Huh? Serena-sama, that sword at your waist... could it be..." Elsa trailed off.
"This? This is the Holy Sword Deorf."
"The holy sword Deolf," they chorused.
"When you mention the Holy Sword Deorf, it's known as the Lost Sword, and it's the sword that the last Hero, Zect-sama, cherished throughout his lifetime," Fleur explained.
"I remember, they say that when the true owner wields it, it can cut even the earth in half... There were stories like that," Rosalia recalled.
"Yeah, and there were tales of it partially destroying the imperial palace with that sword. Is it genuine?" Elsa inquired.
Well, it's definitely real.
Zect-oniichan said so.
"It's real... there you go."
Obviously Elsa wanted to see it, so I drew the sword to show her.
But why does this sword shine so brightly?
It's still... yeah, it's sparkling.
"It's real, right?" Elsa asked.
"Well, since I officially received it..."
"It's not surprising for Serena-sama, but it's amazing that the Holy Sword acknowledges you as its owner," Fleur marveled.
"Shining means that Serena-sama is... hahaha, should I not say it?" Rosalia teased.
'I got it from Zect-oniichan.'
I can't say that, right?
