109 – True Saint – 3
Most of the people gathered here did not know the true meaning of that light.
It was natural. The death of a saint before Rosaria happened so long ago that you have to search through history books. It was too much time for the generation that witnessed that miracle to change.
This means that, perhaps for a very special few, among the countless people gathered here, there are very few people who understand the true meaning of the light shining on Rosaria’s head.
But that didn’t mean she couldn’t understand with her heart the miracle that happened before her eyes.
The halo floating above her head, the halo behind her back, the four pairs of beautifully spread golden wings, and finally the light shining through the clouds. All of them radiate divinity, so how dare you not know?
Even those who did not believe in God for any reason were shocked, so the reaction of those who had once been members of the Starlight Church was obvious.
Because they were faithful, they did not give up their faith yet, and because they were faithful, the people gathered here today fell to the floor, each with their hands clasped in tears.
The number of people who could easily jump over tens of thousands, or even look at hundreds of thousands, lowered their heads without even a single exception. I was looking down at that figure with confusion.
“Mira! “We’re in big trouble!”
Jeoktapju, one of the people who did not believe in that god, rushed into the room.
“I know. “Because I’m watching too.”
I shouldn’t be embarrassed either. After answering calmly, I shook my head.
It was a completely unexpected situation. It was simply an attempt to create a fake saint to calm the confusion of the remaining Starlight Church members, but didn’t she suddenly become a real saint?
At this point, the emperor may have to pay attention to Rosaria’s feelings. That’s not what I want. While looking at the reactions of the people below, her eyes unknowingly turned to Aria.
Aria, the main character of her original novel and the person who originally should have gotten everything we have now, was truly surprised that her saintess had appeared, but she was celebrating it as if it were her own business.
Her jealousy was not visible at all on her face.
‘I guess so.’
It’s a foolish imagination. She chuckled and erased the strange thought from her mind. It is safe to say that the original Aria that we remember and the Aria that has changed since my intervention are two completely different people.
Is there any way that the current Aria would be able to recall the idea that that was hers originally? From what I could see, it was a problem that would make a thief lose his footing.
Rosalia has created her image very faithfully, like a true saint, so she really was just chosen by a goddess. Just as Aria is not the original Aria, Rosaria is not the original Rosaria.
‘Leona…… ‘You’re panicking.’
Unlike Aria, who was innocently congratulating her Rosaria, Leona looked embarrassed as she pursed her lips towards her holy sword, which was emitting golden light.
Laura and Priscilla next to them were shocked, there was no need to explain.
“Mira. As you know, we cannot just ignore the existence of saints. Rather, we may have to keep an eye on her saint.”
I know too.
What was the reason that Rosaria in the original film was able to stay fine for several months even after being treated so viciously at her academy? This is because of her status as a candidate for sainthood. She just has one status that gives her the highest chance of becoming a saint.
With that alone, even the chairman couldn’t mess with Rosalia, so what if she was a real saint?
“You could have predicted all of this and played the role.”
“That can’t be possible.”
The illusion was clearly denied. I refuse to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
“… ….”
Rosaria, chosen by the light, landed lightly on the ground. The light shining through the clouds faded, but the halo, halo, and four pairs of wings still remained.
Rosaria was looking at me with a puzzled expression. It was really fortunate that only a few people were able to see that expression because everyone was bowing their heads.
Because no matter who looked at him, his face seemed like he couldn’t understand the current situation.
“What do you plan to do? Shall we proceed as is? “This is just my personal opinion, but I don’t think it’s necessary in the current situation.”
Jeoktapju carefully asked questions. That’s right. It was funny that we pretended to be punished when a real saint appeared.
“…… “For now, let’s watch the situation.”
Considering her symbolism as a candidate for sainthood, only former high-ranking priests of the Starlight Church were specifically selected to come, but today is not the only opportunity for execution.
However, the situation began to take an unexpected turn.
“You traitorous b*tch!”
A venomous voice rang through the quiet atmosphere.
He was the Pope. According to Leona’s testimony, the Pope, who was several times older than when she met him, shook off the Royal Guard and looked at Rosaria with her eyes wide open, cursing her.
This was possible because the Royal Guard witnessed her birth and gave her a brief bruise.
“How dare I save your years! “You’re such an ungrateful b*tch!”
I guess I cherished it for another reason. Rosaria said that if she had not been a candidate for sainthood, she would have been taken to her bedroom long ago and subjected to all sorts of cruel things, and they would have looked at her with her eyes.
“Tell me! Who did you open your crotch to to commit such a fraud? Is this the guy you always carry around?! Seeing as there is no answer, it must be a lot! “You slut!”
‘I managed to figure out that this was a hoax.’
All other details aside, it is true that it is a hoax. To be precise, it would have been a fraud if she had not been selected as a saint. But the goddess chose her as a real saint, so what?
“If I had known that even a prostitute like you who had eaten dozens of people could become a saint, she would have attacked me a long time ago! “It would have been a waste because it would have still felt like new even if I had picked it anyway!”
It was truly a crude and crude swear word. Since it was certain that he would die anyway, it seemed like he decided to just end it. Whether you die quietly or swear before you die, in the end, you die.
The public sentiment under the altar became violent as if they would tear the Pope to death at any moment, and the Royal Guard, who had stiffened for a moment upon seeing the saint born in front of her, was about to step forward, but Rosaria stopped the Royal Guard with a wave of her hand.
[Can you take responsibility for your words?]
A voice that was Rosaria’s voice but was not Rosaria’s voice came out from her mouth. It was as if she had her echo turned on and was speaking into a microphone.
The people who were angry with the Pope suddenly calmed down. Everyone instinctively knew who the owner of that voice was.
“… ….”
The Pope looked so shocked that his eyes seemed to pop out, and he was unable to move his tongue, which had been fluttering just a moment ago. Rosaria became a child and she continued to say that she was not Rosaria.
[Among the humans on earth, I have never seen a being as dirty as you. It is laughable that such a person would dishonor such a pure and clean girl. Do you really not know why I took faith away from humans?]
The finger pointed at the Pope.
[Heavenly punishment be upon the corrupt.]
A week has already passed since Rosaria was chosen as a saint. Time passed very quickly.
The first thing I did was to control the situation.
Rosaria announced in her saintly name that God only exists to love and give, and that it is the emperor who rules over her humans, so they should be loyal to the emperor, and of course the believers followed suit.
Thanks to this, it was possible to prevent the empire from splitting into two or the church regaining its former prestige. Because the saint declared herself to be under the emperor.
“You did a great job, Mira Krayt.”
However, I was unable to resolve the situation where the emperor, upon hearing of the saint’s birth, called me personally.
“As an emperor supported by a saint, my name will be the first to be written down in the vast history of the empire.”
I was sitting facing the emperor and holding a teacup. Even directly with the emperor. It was a level of privilege that would make other nobles foam at the mouth and go crazy if they saw it.
In fact, the person who proposed this position made an even more unconventional suggestion, saying that you should think of him only as Laura’s father, not as the emperor. This person here seemed to be similar to Priscilla’s father.
“Thanks to you, my position has become very solid. Except for the first emperor, there are probably very few emperors who have enjoyed this much imperial power. Because the church was always holding me back. hehehehe.”
“Your Majesty, I’m sorry”
“You swore loyalty to Laura, not to me, right? But what is the need to keep one’s body? “If I leave my position anyway, I will become an old man in the back room.”
“… ….”
What would other nobles, who had to learn all kinds of movements, memorize etiquette, and wait for a week to have an audience with the emperor, only barely glance at his feet from afar when they met him, think when they saw this now?
First of all, it was clear that the reaction would not be very positive.
“Did you hear the news?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I think you probably didn’t hear it.”
“The chairman of Belium Academy has invaded the imperial palace treasury.”
“Yes?”
“He said he would return any leftovers and scraped everything that looked good down to the bottom. They say it’s to repay you and the hero. “He achieved what was the reason for his life.”
It was truly my first time hearing this. As I stayed still, the emperor chuckled.
“I heard that the chairman who mentioned compensation did not need any compensation and that he was just doing what he had to do. Is this true?”
“…… “I don’t remember exactly, but I probably said something similar.”
“If there’s something you want, you shouldn’t hide it, you’ll reveal it. Why did you just throw it away and let our treasure trove fall to the ground?”
“… ….”
“You’re kidding. I have received a lot of help from the chairman so far, but the price of the imperial palace treasury is very cheap. Moreover, the saint candidate who was accompanying you has even awakened to become a true saint, so how can you waste such material things?”
The Emperor burst into laughter again. It was a joke. It was a joke that sent chills down my spine.
It seems like they are trying to narrow the distance in their own way…… Do you realize that you are in a position where you can actually uproot a mountain and move it if you say that the mountain is bothering you?
“Hmm, now that I think about it, I almost forgot to say this. I heard you are very famous at Bellium Academy. Even more so than my daughter, the warrior, or the next saint.”
“If you’re talking about work during the entrance ceremony—”
“No. There is that, but I’m talking about the other side.”
In an instant, the emperor’s mood changed.
“I heard there are a lot of women around you. Is that true?”
“…… In fact, it is.”
I couldn’t deny that much, so I answered in a half-crawling voice.
Honestly, I had something to say. No, because the original work is Lily Ropan, what should I do when all the main characters are women? Moreover, two of them are the main characters, and the remaining three are possessors who were brought here like me.
“I created a club with only women except you, and even put a bed in there.”
“…… “The saint said she did not want to stay in the room assigned to her, so she used the club room as her bedroom.”
“Whatever the reason, isn’t it true that there is a bed in the clubroom?”
If it came out like that, there was nothing to say. I nodded.
“And I heard that my daughter has been going there often lately…….”
The muscles that felt like they were about to burst twitched through the emperor’s robe.
“You’re not trying to bring strange colors to my innocent daughter, are you?”
“… ….”
Uh, well.
I shouldn’t tell you that that ‘pure’ daughter is always trying to steal the clothes I wear.
