129 – Scene 129# Pledge Ceremony
*
“Until the day comes when I drive out the darkness with my light… .”
Bella, dressed in pure white, was kneeling on the lawn.
“I will not stop punishing evil.”
Her hands, gathered as if praying, were not disturbed at all, as if representing her determination.
“I, Bella Isaachel, solemnly swear.”
That figure is truly a saint born of light.
As Bella slowly opened her eyes, the blonde-haired girl put her hand on her head and said.
“Bella, you are a child who deserves to use my light.”
Michaela, the owner of paradise, spoke in a solemn voice.
“I, Michaela, will believe in your oath and bestow light on you, so keep what you swore.”
Michaela’s hands began to glow.
Brilliant light permeated Bella from head to toe.
The oath of light that has been continued since the hero Alonso Isaachel.
In the past, there were many families that were supported by the gods, but until now, only the Isakhel family remained to interact with the gods.
A family loved by God.
This is the reason why the Duke of Isaac Hell still has such a high reputation.
“It’s okay to wake up now.”
“Yes.”
When Bella woke up, she felt the fullness of God’s grace in her heart.
It was a vow ceremony that she had done every year since she was a baby, but it always felt new.
Through this oath ceremony to swear to God, it seemed that she was reborn as a nobler and nobler being.
Like the hero Alonso Isaachel, who was his ancestor.
clap clap…..
When Bella turned her head to the sound of applause, a weak-looking man stood there.
“Good job.”
“father… .”

Duke Fred took off his jacket and put it on Bella.
“The clothes show off the shoulders too much. catch a cold.”
“Father is really… . Do you think I am still a child?”
Stunned, Bella put on her clothes.
Fred, who saw that, was relieved and greeted the owner of paradise politely.
“Long time no see. Ms. Michaela.”
“yes. You are still ugly.”
“It’s ugly… .”
“Then it’s ugly. Will you be good? but why did you come here? Only Bella can come.”
“Ahahahaha… . Still, if your name is the head of Isaachel, wouldn’t it be polite to show your face to Michaela?”
“it’s okay. Since when did you ask for that? And it’s more polite that you don’t notice me.”
“That, like that… .”
Fred was intimidated by the harsh words.
Michaela clicked her tongue, disapproving of that.
“Tsk. I don’t know how someone like you came out of Alonso’s descendants… . Of course, it all means ‘him’, but… .”
“Ah, come to think of it, Alonso-sama subdued the Demon King when I was my age, right?”
Michaela nodded at Bella’s question as if she had suddenly remembered it.
“right. Even now that I think about it, he was a human level talent. Even before receiving divine protection, I was fighting the devil alone.”
“Alone without protection?”
“Yes.”
The final form of a monster, a mighty being with high intelligence, a demon. They are never something that humans can deal with alone.
Therefore, Alonso, who dealt with the devil in a human body without God’s protection, could only be said to be truly amazing.
“He was so excited when I gave him the protection of light that he broke the pot of demons. There has only been one such guy in all of history, Alonso.”
When the second demon king appeared in the past, the hero never showed up.
Countless people lost their lives at the hands of demons and monsters commanded by the demon king.
At that time, it was Alonso who appeared in front of the people in despair.
A human, not a hero, saved the world.
Of course, he received God’s protection, but if he had been a human other than Alonso, the world would surely have perished.
Alonso was not called a hero for nothing.
The reason the Isaachel family is still famous is because of Alonso’s achievements.
‘hero… … .’
Bella suddenly became afraid.
As a successor to the name of Isaac Hel, he has lived with pride.
As the successor to the swordsmanship Isaac Hellyu, he did not neglect to train his body and mind.
It was all so that he would not be ashamed of living as a descendant of the great hero Alonso Isaachel.
However, Bella felt proud and burdened at the same time whenever she thought of Alonso’s accomplishments.
A long time has passed since the second demon king was defeated.
Maybe the third demon king will appear when Bella is around.
Will Alonso’s achievements be surpassed by that time?
Will he be able to fight against demons like Alonso?
Bella was honestly not confident.
How helpless she was when she was captured by a bully the other day.
But if the opponent is a demon… . can i win

Despondent, Bella cautiously opened her mouth.
To receive advice from her immature but reassuring god.
“Mikaela. Can I be like Alonso?”
“yes.”
To her question, Michaela answered without hesitation.
I naturally became curious.
“… Interesting. How can you say so easily?”
“It is true.”
Michaela rubbed her nose.
“You have ‘always’ done that. I know. Because I’ve been watching you all along.”
It was a pretty significant statement.
Is it because it is the word of God? Or was it because of her serious eyes?
Bella couldn’t help but listen to Michaela.
“You don’t waste the power I gave you. Always just and always on the side of the weak. If Alonso isn’t going to come down in history again, neither will you, Bella.”
“uh… . Well. Are you ashamed of something when you lift me up like that?”
“Am I going to cherish you for nothing? You, like Alonso, deserve a hero. You could call this an atavism.”

Duke Fred, who met Michaela’s eyes, let out an awkward laugh as if he had been stabbed.
“huh… . fresh boy. Then go back slowly.”
“Yes. I’ll see you again soon.”
“yes. Except for Fred.”
Fred went home with his shoulders drooping uncomfortably.
Bella was about to follow Fred.
“Oh right.”
It was Michaela’s word that caught Bella.
“I asked you as a joke before, but do you really intend to marry him?”
“Yes? Of course… not!? no?! Isn’t it?!”
Bella whispered in Michaela’s ear, taken aback by the sudden question.
“Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?! I was so surprised that I was speechless!”
“Ahahahahaha. This reaction is kind of funny.”
“I don’t know why you thought that. The chances of me marrying such a man would be less than 1%.”
“I never say no.”
“I told you back then. I don’t want him to beg me to marry him… .”
“It will be painful.”
“Yes?”
Bella was speechless when she saw Michaela suddenly say something incomprehensible.
Her expression contained complex emotions that could not be explained in words. But even that was short-lived.
Michaela said again with the face of a cheerful child.
“Nothing. I’m just rooting for you.”
She waved at Bella and said.
“Good luck on your future path.”

Inside the carriage heading to school.
Helga, who was sitting across from her, said excitedly.
“I’m glad I confessed before pulling out my tongue this time.”
Well. It’s an eerie metaphor.
“really… . When I pulled out my tongue, I couldn’t understand what he was saying.”
… Anyway, it’s a metaphor. Thinking of it as a metaphor seems comfortable.
“So what was the confession?”
“Ah yes. The man made quite a lot of money through dishonest methods. Not only was the money sent to the villagers, but there was also a lot of money extorted under ridiculous pretexts.”
I nodded my head.
As a serf manager, he could guess it just by looking at the gambling dens that nobles used to enter.
He must have taken a lot of money from the serfs.
“And I think I gave some of the stolen money to John Wisden.”
“Well.”
Hearing the name makes me think of it.
One of Tristan’s relatives who rules the Rihat region.
It is also a problem that I will have to solve sooner or later.
Oh, I see… .
I suddenly decided to ask something that bothered me.
“By the way, Helga.”
“Yes?”
“You didn’t manage to kill him.”
It was the man who looked at Helga with a sinister eye.
Had I not acted quickly, Helga could have killed him on the spot.
But rather than being indignant, Helga responded calmly.
“of course. That man is also the Count’s precious property. I can never let you die. Above all, they are talented people who will work hard in the mines in the future. whooping… .”
“Well.”
Helga, as usual, said creepy things casually, but today something was strange.
“I… . Count.”
“Why?”
“Thank you.”
“… what?”
I looked at Helga with a puzzled look on my face.
But she said with her head down.
“Uh, that… . I must say I was a bit happy back then… .”
said Helga shyly putting her legs together.
“Honestly, I was very angry at that time… . Seeing the Count so angry made me feel relieved. No, I was happy. For me, the Count… .”
“You don’t have to thank me.”
“Yes?”
“Insulting you is the same as insulting me. So I was just mad at the man.”
I said nonchalantly.
“It has no meaning other than that.”
But.
“Are you saying that it is for the Count and not for me?”
“yes.”
“Whoop whoop… . Really?”
It must have been a disappointing remark, but strangely, Helga seemed more happy than before.
No, in some gap, he was sitting close to me, not across from me, and sniffing.
“Just as the Count’s joy is my joy, the work for the Count is also the work for me. If this is the case, it would be irrelevant to see that the Count was angry for me, right? hehehe… .”
I wanted to say what kind of logic it was, but realizing it was meaningless, I murmured with a sigh.
“… Think as you like.”
“Yes. I’ll think on my own! The Count, please think of me as you please!”
“Go back to your seat before I kick you out of the carriage on my own.”
“Huh… .”
Helga, who subtly pushed her chest and legs, quickly rolled her tail and returned to her place.
By the time I can see the school from inside the carriage.
I found a knight in red armor standing in front of the school gate.
