44. Heir and Saint (4)
Shaiza and the goddess Rosacia. When talking about Shaiza, Rosasia cannot be left out, and even when talking about the goddess Rosasia, Shaiza cannot be left out, and the two are deeply related.
If you ask if the Rosasia Church and Shaiza have always had a good relationship, you will shake your head. When Shayza had to do it, he was definitely hostile to the Order. That’s why Shaiza, which is talked about in this era, has no choice but to look even bigger.
The Church of the Imperial Family and the Holy Kingdom of the Meloyer Empire. As in any world, in a land where a mighty empire and a religion solidified by faith exist, a lot of blood must flow until peace comes. The number of times Meloyer and the Church have collided over the past few hundred years is beyond counting on my fingers.
In that chaos, Shaiza always stood on the side of the weak. Sometimes he antagonized the Cult, sometimes he antagonized the Empire. As with any bloody history, it is subject to re-evaluation as time passes. Regardless of the Imperial Church, they reflected on their past mistakes and sought a better future.
In the process, it is only natural that Shaiza, who has always sided with the underdog, will be reevaluated.
Empire and Holy Kingdom. Everyone wanted Shaiza to be on their side. The reason was really simple. The side that obtains Shaiza wins the ki battle. Oddly enough, that perception was solidified.
Even when peace came between the Empire and the Holy Kingdom, the two remained vigilant, unknowingly growling in an attempt to seize the initiative. Emperor Meloyer and the pope of Rosasia had a quarrel, and it continued through generations.
This may be the reason why Shaiza picked up Arisha, a girl born in the Holy Land, and Melgard, a bully who was on the battlefield in the empire, and raised them to be the best wizards and warriors of the time.
Arisha and Melgard, who were nothing, have grown into faces representing the kingdom and the empire, respectively. Together with one teacher, the two fought against the great evil called the Demon King. Just because Arisha existed in the Holy Kingdom, Melgard existed in the Empire, and Shaiza existed as their teacher. The Empire and the Church were no longer able to openly check each other.
It was an era when it was impossible not to know the faces of Arisha and Melgard, even if you did not know the faces of the emperor and the pope. Both the people of Meloyer and the clergy of the Holy Kingdom believed in them and deified them. In such a situation, if you strike first and keep the opponent in check, it is obvious that you will be labeled as a villain and recorded in history at once.
For that reason, a calm peace is maintained between the Empire and the Holy Kingdom. Inside, a tense fight continued, but no one cared if it wasn’t revealed on the outside.
Even after the death of these three people, Shaiza Arisha Melgard, the Empire and the Church maintained peace without major conflict. They didn’t even touch each other. When a strange movement is caught, it evolves before it becomes a big event. The excellent graduates of the academy, who inherited the will of Arisha and Melgard, follow their will and maintain peace.
Right now, the emperor of the empire, a graduate of Arisha Academy, and the Pope studied Shayza-type holy magic, so there would be no need to talk long. Each tries to stand on top, but peace is maintained without any movement.
A relationship that only noticed each other. The past, when the empire and the church roared, fell asleep in everyone’s memory. But in the same era. Also, as the princess of Meloyer and the saint of the Holy Kingdom attend the same school together, a strange fight between the Empire and the Church begins.
However, it is literally just a fight, and it will never escalate into a major incident.
It wouldn’t be possible, but as long as the princess and the saint didn’t start fighting by pulling each other’s hair. In fact, this isn’t the only interesting thing about Arisha Academy right now.
It’s not enough that the princess and the saint met. Just like in those days, her successor who would play the role of Shaiza was also attending the academy. Of course, few people know about it, but if anyone had noticed it, they would have joked about it.
Shayar. The side that attracts Shaiza’s successor will win the battle that has been going on for hundreds of years.
In fact, in the past, the Empire and the Church had roared over Shiza, who had a strong influence, aiming for it, so of course it was worth saying that. Of course, Shaiza never directly took sides, so the balance was maintained.
One thing is for sure, the Empire’s castles and you all tried to take Shaiza with you. Of course, not even the seeds were eaten.

Eldenia, who changed into her school uniform, prepared her appearance and prayed to her goddess Rosasia.
“I’ll be back.”
After completing her prayers, Eldenia greets her church members brightly and heads for District 3. Such Eldenia smiles brightly while basking in the morning sun. As the dazzling El Denia was smiling brightly, the religious officials felt the illusion that a light emission was occurring around her.
Then, as she greets El Denia, a nun approaches.
“Saintess, did something good happen today?”
“hehehe, does it look like that? Actually, that’s right! As for what happened! A”
Eldenia’s eyes widened, revealing her true identity. Worth’s words to keep her information about her greenhouse a secret came to mind.
“Uh, uh… Nothing happened yesterday. Sure. Nothing happened.”
“I see. Nothing happened yesterday.”
“Yes, of course. Well, then I, go, because I have to take a lecture. Go, let’s go.”
The nun just smiled at Eldenia as she ran away. Now, El Denia felt guilty in her heart, saying that her own lie was perfect.
“Hufu… I almost got caught. Sorry… for lying.”
After El Denia said that, she put on a grave expression. When she then thinks that she has met the owner of the conservatory, she smiles again.
“hehehe”
ㅡ ‘Yes. The meeting between the two of us is a legacy of the past.’
Legacy of the past. Yes. The meeting of Woros, who inherited Shaiza’s greenhouse, is a historic event. At that thought, the smile did not leave Eldenia’s face.
“Come to think of it… Senior Woros… “
His excited mind calms down when he thinks of Woros being stabbed and almost dying. Woros said that he was stabbed by his sister, Irina Blood.
I wanted to help him in any way, but he insisted that I never get involved in this. He said he would solve it himself, so he couldn’t come forward.
“Haa… “
It’s heartbreaking and frustrating, but I’ve decided to step out of this job by only doing what Woros asked me to do. As part of her request, she tracked her down to meet her Shayja and her freshman year chief, Nisia von Orisha.
“Are you talking about Ms. Nishia? That… You were with Denas-senpai. Wasn’t the atmosphere unusual?”
“I see. Could she possibly know where she went?”
“At the time I saw it, it was near the market hall in District 3… It’s been quite a while, I don’t know now… “
“Okay. Thank you for telling me.”
Eldenia headed to the marketplace. Woros says he’s safe, so let’s live our daily lives. He asked Nishia and Denas to say so. That’s how she arrived at the market in District 3, and headed first to the shop that Woros told her about.
Because if he went to the store, there was a chance he would meet Nisia von Orisha. If I couldn’t meet her here, I was thinking of going to her workshop.
“So, please leave first!”
“I can’t do that. If you don’t cooperate, we can’t help it.”
The guards of the education district were standing in front of Woros’ shop. Among the guards, Princess Larisha von Meloyer can be seen. I want to know what the hell is going on. She tilted her head and surveyed the situation.
Nishia wrapped around her terrified Denas Yeseul. The guards were interrogating Denas for information, and Nishia was blocking them.
El Denia shook her head. Apparently, someone witnessed Denas-senpai walking while supporting Woros-senpai yesterday. In the process of searching for Worros-senpai, who was stabbed and missing, he obtained information about the sighting and requested cooperation from Denas-senpai.
But last night, Woros-senpai asked Denas-senpai to keep his whereabouts a secret. That’s why Denas-senpai can’t say anything, and he’s being treated like that. Although Woros asked her to keep it a secret, he probably didn’t say it in anticipation of a situation like this.
If you were surrounded by guards like that, wouldn’t it be right for Woros-senpai to just confide?
Lerry Sha von Melloyer, I don’t know why the princess is here, but it seems the princess appeared with the guards. I’m going to step in here. Having judged, Eldenia approaches the guards.
From noble mtl dot com
“Hey!”
“I’m on official business right now… Hello, Holy Lady!”
“Hello.”
Saint Eldenia walks gracefully and stands in front of Nishia. The expression of Denas, who had been weeping at the appearance of Eldenia, bloomed. Lerisha, who saw her, was puzzled.
“Did something happen? I’m sorry, but I have something to do with Nishia and Denas-senpai here.”
“There was a missing person report. I was looking for Woros Blood students.”
“For what reason?”
“Hey… that is… “
The guard looks strangely nervous and glances at Lerisha. Seeing that, El Denia judged that her guards had been silenced by her princess.
“Senior Shaiza Warros Blood, a sophomore, is resting at our church of the Rosasia Church. You will be out soon.”
“Is that so? All right. If you’re in the land of Rosasia, you needn’t worry. Ha ha ha”
“Sure. Then please work hard today.”
“Thank you. Holy Lady!”
The guard greets Eldenia by bowing her head, then walks towards Lerisha and tells her something. After exchanging a few words like that, the guard gave her salute to Lerisha and dispersed.
Lerry Shah, who had dismissed her guards like that, stepped out in front of her.
“Hello Saint Eldenia.”
“Hello, Princess Larisha von Meloyer.”
“You said Woros is in the Church of Rosasia. Is he all right now?”
“Yes, you are very healthy.”
At El Denia’s words, Lerry Sha let out a sigh of relief.
“Then, can I meet Woros?”
“Woros-senpai will come out on his own. Until then, I can’t do anything about it.”
“No. We must meet now.”
“Are you aware of Mr. Woros’ condition?”
“I know. Everyone knows what he got into—”
“As you know… “
Eldenia let out a sigh and looked down at Lerisha. Nishia and Denas couldn’t help but stare at them in a strange sense of tension.
“If you know, how are you asking me to bring him right now?”
“That… surely… He also needed time to rest. Sorry. However, the misunderstanding must be cleared up.”
“Am I wrong?”
Eldenia remembered the state of Woros. Stabbed by her sister Even with a poisoned knife. That’s all, as if he had vowed never to let Woros live, his dagger had tremendous magic power applied to it.
She was hit with a knife like that. She really could have died. Misunderstanding in this situation?
“I’m sorry, Princess. This is the part where Woros said that he will end it on his own, so I can’t do anything about it either.”
“Even if it’s just for a moment, it’s fine. Please make space for conversation. Irina also knows all the facts, so we can solve it through conversation—”
“Princess… “
El Denia narrowed her eyes. Conversely, seeing Eldenia’s reaction, Lerisha opened her eyes wide.
“I feel sorry for you. Senior Woros’s situation is so bad that it’s more than just a hit… I feel so sorry for the princess.”
“What… What did you say?”
“I made it clear. Senior Woros said he would finish the work himself. And there. If it’s Irina… Aren’t you the one who made Woros-senpai like that?”
Eldenia takes a step closer to Lelisha.
“Let me be clear. Senior Woros has just crossed the threshold of her death. To such a person… To make a place of conversation with the person who made him that way. For those who have not yet been cured. The princess really… “
“…… “
“You really are a cruel person.”
At Eldenia’s words, a chilly aura began to linger in her alley. Denas swallowed her saliva while watching this. Lerissa’s guardian knight, Federik, steps out to protest, but Lerisha stops him.
That’s how the uncomfortable silence began.
Lerisha is just sinking lower and lower lol. I wonder if she’ll break or get redemption
