Chapter 221 – 53. Ecliptic Road (4)
The most sacred place in the world.
The eastern Bondranian royal family resides,
The headquarters of the Divine Unity Church is located,
The holy city of St. Royal.
This is the city where Prince Nicholas Bondrania, a first-year academy student, was born and raised.
Nicholas, who had returned to his hometown during summer vacation and devoted himself to training in swordsmanship, training in the [Wind] Attribute, and studying theology, had just received an alarming report.
He quickly walked through the corridors of the palace to confirm the authenticity of the news directly from the mouth of the person concerned.
His destination was the residence of his sister, the 1st princess.
“Sister! ······Your father and the saintess were also present.”
Nicholas hurriedly bowed as the eyes of three people higher in rank than him focused.
“You, too, sit down quickly.”
The king of the upper seat pointed to the seat next to his sister with a wink.
As soon as Nicholas put his butt on it, sure enough, a chill ran through his body.
The hair all over the body stood upright and the chilly aura that gave goose bumps to the skin rode through the chilly bones and penetrated the whole body in an instant.
‘I’ll have to get used to the cold and get better after a while, but…’
It was also a feeling I was not used to.
The feeling of being exposed to my sister’s [Ice] Attribute…
1 Princess, Gracia Bondrania.
Nicholas’ only sister,
She herself is in many ways no match for her,
She is the most ‘cold’ woman in this world.
Not to mention Gracia’s strength and body,
Even her heart…
······A sister like that has a partner!
“The heavens gave the princess an oracle.”
An honorary saint of the [Life] Church, now in her late 60s this year, crossed her finely wrinkled palms and looked at her older sister with bright, childlike eyes.
An old but fervent voice recited sacred verses in the reverent posture of prayer to heaven.
“【Holy princess, marry the child of light】… This is the revelation you received today, my lord.”
“Are you sure?”
At the cautious question from her side, the saintess turned her head.
King of Bondrania,
The Pope of the [Light] Church,
And my father, who is the guardian of the Holy Unity Church,
He is a very cautious person.
“Since the summoning of the hero 300 years ago, there have been many and varied priests who claimed to have heard the word of God… But they were all heretics, fanatics, or delusions… Where is the child claiming to be a saint now?”
“She has ascended.”
[Life] According to the words of the saint, the pope of the church,
Father opened his eyes.
“Sister Elisha is a faithful child who was born and raised in the Holy City and has kept her virginity for 20 years. While attending lunch prayer 30 minutes ago, she burned her whole body with holy water and left a solemn revelation before going up to the temple… It is said that only her vertebrae and ribs were left in its place, holding an immense divinity.”
“”!!!””
Nicholas involuntarily opened his mouth in surprise.
It is the Holy Fire.
It is proof of the existence of divine powers that the human body cannot handle.
To witness the holy traces of God on a lowly earth.
Priests call this a ‘miracle’.
‘To be in the same time and space as a great event to be recorded in history…’
Suppressing his rising emotions, Nicholas quietly observed the reaction of the other family members.
His father seemed to have the same restraint as himself,
As expected, the older sister had a cold, emotionless face that had not changed at all.
“······Is the nun’s body a holy relic?”
“Probably so. Cardinal Florence is currently preserving the site and examining the relics.”
“God is taking care of us and caring for us, so it’s a joy… Sister Elisha, who did the miracle, will be canonized as a saint.”
Then, after a moment of solemn silence between the two popes and the two priests.
“Gracia. Prepare for the engagement.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
With this, the conversation between the two was over.
Father and sister had no objections.
Of course, so did Nicholas.
As a mere servant, how dare we question God’s revelation?
Just like the summoning of the warriors 300 years ago, this word must be a holy will to love and take care of our humanity, but how can I refuse it?
My sister’s expression is still cold and her eyes are always fierce.
However, as a child of Bondrania, she must have a fervent faith inside.
Of course, my sister does not love Park Min-ho. Perhaps he doesn’t even know much about him.
But now she must love him, and in the end she is destined to love him, and she will do her best to love him.
Divine revelation protects you.
【Holy princess, make a bond with the child of light】
“The interpretation of the oracle is so clear, it will surely come true…”
Nicholas also agrees with the saint’s words.
There are many princesses on this continent. Coincidentally, all the great royal families and the five royal families now have women of marriageable age. However, the most holy among them is definitely Sister Gracia.
Throughout her life, she shunned all pleasures, obscenities, and sins, and kept no males in her heart, maintaining perfect physical and mental purity, and only faith in her steadfast heart.
In addition, her skin as fine as snowflakes, her eyes like white jade, and her white eyebrows and hair are as clean as if they were made with pure divine power.
If the older sister, who is more noble than anyone else both internally and externally, is not holy, then who the hell is going to be holy?
‘I’m respectful…’
He is different from himself who was enchanted by a woman’s charm.
“Nicholas. Tell me what you know about the summoner of [Light].”
“…Yes, Your Highness. Park Min-ho is a kind and diligent student. He uses a sword as his main weapon, and he trains and studies theology every day. He also seems to have a strong attachment to his summoners. And… ·.”
Nicholas uttered as much information as he could about his classmate.
He wasn’t close to Park Min-ho, but we talked a few times because there were many cases where our interests and activities overlapped.
As a result, Nicholas fell in love with Park Min-ho’s wisdom and sincerity as a classmate.
“······He also has a lover. That is Seong Ah-yeong, a summoner with the [Life] Attribute.”
“Are they lovers… Are they very close?”
“As far as I know, yes.”
Seong Ah-yeong was the only obstacle to the trust.
But no one in the room showed any sign of concern about her.
Because trust is unconditional,
Also, [Light] And [Life] Are very difficult to bear fruit of love.
“The history of 300 years ago will repeat itself.”
In the fairy tale book, it is written that the hero and the saint lived happily together after the Great War of the Holy Demon.
But the reality was completely different.
As the Prince of Bondrania, Nicholas knew the truth.
‘Shortly after the war, the hero and the saint broke up.’
The reason is the saintess’ affair.
According to the records, the hero had no sexual desire at all, while the saintess had an overactive sexual desire.
In the end, the relationship between the two ended when the saintess who had an affair with her subordinates, the paladins, kicked the hero.
And the warrior married the ancestor princess of Bondrania and became a king.
The modern Bondranian royal family, including Nicholas, are descendants of warriors.
“I’d like to introduce the young members of our church to Ah-yeong Seong…”
While the honorary saint of our time is deeply immersed in contemplation,
“Gracia, Nicholas. Go to the ecliptic.”
At the king’s command, the two royals straightened their postures.
“Go and complete the Divine Revelation.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Nicholas suppressed the joy that welled up in his heart as much as he could at the thought of seeing Amer, whom he had a crush on, sooner.
* * *
The darkest and dullest space in the world.
The darkness, where not even a hint of light existed, was even blacker and more eerie due to the energy emitted by the beings within it.
In the center is a huge skull.
Far from reverberating with vitality, it is filled with limitless fraudulent energy and has the power to slaughter surrounding creatures with just its existence.
But in front of its toe bones, a human stood proudly on two legs.
It’s so amazing.
To not lose one’s life even when faced with the god of death.
The man was alive.
However, he was only alive.
With only a speck of vitality, holding on to a thin life,
The human whose body and soul are covered with deep fraud,
With a lean body with clear bones, it stood blankly and waited for instructions from its owner.
【Go to the realm of humans】
As the energy of [Death] Poured out, the man’s black hair fluttered and the [Ghost] Attribute went wild.
【Recover the Deathly Hallows and bring the Princess of Death】
