Despite being surrounded by a bustling environment filled with infidels Cedric couldn't help but feel relaxed, God truly was great, after all, it was only because of him that Infidels enjoyed life.
Aurelia enjoyed her stew while Cedric was sitting across, despite not needing to eat he wanted to try a strange stew, with a quick glance of [God's Eye] he confirmed it was not poisoned.
He lifted his visor with his hand, and his gauntlet wrapped around a relatively small wooden spoon.
He captured a small bite of the stew, a single piece nesting inside the spoon.
With a bite, he nodded.
"For Infidel, that lady is a pretty good cook." Cedric had tasted good dishes, while rare while on crusade opportunities arose occasionally.
It was a way for God to show his warriors that he did indeed follow them.
A brief moment of relaxation was all he would allow himself in the middle of Infidel City. The memory of the assassin in Jerusalem was fresh in his mind, while that infidel had been slain he had sent him to God which gave him honor among honors.
He could not hate that assassin.
His eyes were vigilant, despite his body relaxing he keenly observed everyone who entered and exited the inn.
'High-end establishment, for sure.' Cedric noticed that clientele was mostly rich nobles and well-dressed citizens.
'Most of them are merely Level 2-5' Cedric sighed, these infidels had such an easy and decadent life that their strength was not even enough to fight elderly demons.
"It makes sense why demons are gaining so much ground..." Cedric mused.
"What did you say, dear husband?" Aurelia spoke while slurping down her stew.
"Aurelia, teasing is not appropriate for The First Star." Cedric bluntly answered.
"Sorry, just can't resist, this looks like a date after all!" Aurelia blushed slightly with her legs shuffling.
"Keep your lust at bay, it's another of sins that must not be indulged." Cedric took another bite while speaking plainly.
Aurelia sheepishly defended herself, "It's not lust this time I am just in love!"
Cedric was taken aback for a moment, "Is that so..."
"Yes!"
'She is getting really blunt with it huh.' It was not like he minded her advances, she was a beautiful woman, after all, however, God had priority.
If God had deemed her his wife in the future, so be it. However mission was clear, End Iguva's Reign by any means necessary.
The enslaved demons could wait, after all, they were frail and were put into harsh working conditions, and most would perish without him having to do anything.
'First thing first, eliminate Assasin organization and set an example, then establish a church.'
He wished to establish a church first, however, he needed more people to convert to Christianity, perhaps the group of soldiers to whom he gave Bibles or maybe even a group of virtuous Infidels.
Church would need a priest, he would need to establish hierarchy, and either Cedric or Aurelia would have to perform the duty of the Pope.
'No, she will have her hands full reforming the kingdom as a whole. Perhaps an angel.' He thought about it, Angels would be ideal harbingers of God's Will.
'Summoning a Seraph for such a grand duty will be a worthy reason.' Cedric had time until then, after all, there was so much to do.
Bam~
The door was kicked open by a trio of armored men, each carrying a sword on their hip and a shield on their backs.
"We are searching for Traitor Princess, Aurelia! By orders of first prince Ayano, she is to be presented to him." The man shouted, startling the guests and Aurelia.
'Again...' Cedric ignored them as he sighed, they were of no threat.
"We know she entered this establishment, we will be ransacking the entire place until we find the damned traitor!"
Aurelia leaned over the table, whispering to Cedric, clearly not feeling threatened with her beloved hero right in front of her.
"Those are my brother's guards, they aren't the brightest but they are pretty strong." Aurelia then slid down onto her seat before eating another portion of stew without a care in the world.
'Glutton... And yet she doesn't have that sin, I mustn't misjudge her.'
"Gentlemen, the princess hadn't visited this place in some time." Anna's frail voice could be heard from their table, she was protecting the princess.
"Cut it Hag, she was seen coming in here." One man gripped the old woman by her shirt as he threatened her.
Cedric couldn't help but sigh, were they blind? Aurelia was slurping the stew without care in the world if they only turned they would have seen her. They were acting like mere bandits.

Their leader was not a threat whatsoever, stronger than Aurelia by a significant margin, however, if she used Zenith he would have been cut in half before realizing what happened.
"I assure you, she is not here." Anna showed no fear, it felt like she had been through these situations before.
'Well for an Infidel she is quite brave.' Cedric smiled at the act of bravery, not many would stand in defense of their dear ones, especially not Infidels.
It took a moment before the hooligans finally decided to turn around and perceive Aurelia.
"There you are, you damned traitor!" The man shouted, ignoring Cedric completely.
"Tell my brother that he can kindly fuck off." Aurelia did not even move her eyes from her bowl.
"You little bitch!" The man was furious, and with a swift motion he drew his sword.
However his hand never pulled out the sword, instead he found his hand missing.
"Those who draw their weapons against the First Star will be punished, Did I not warn you, Infidels? How Long will you keep testing my patience." Cedric's feat of speed left the trio speechless.
With slow and deliberate movement he rose from his seat.
Aurelia merely blushed at the scene. 'I can get used to this.'
"ARGH!!!" The man gripped the place where his arm once was, blood spraying from the wound like a fountain.
The remaining two drew their weapons shortly after gathering their wits. "How dare you!"
"May God grant you mercy, for I will not."
