Chapter 260 – Choice Is the Right of the Strong (5)
Are you in your late 20’s or early 30’s?
An attractive-looking nun with bobbed brown hair and sharp eyes was staring at Lilith without her words, with her arms crossed.
“…Sera…Sera sister.”
After a long silence, her Lilith cautiously called her nun’s name her.
“Call me Sister Seira. Holy Maiden.”
“…Yes. Sister Seira.”
At Seira’s cold reaction, her Lilith drooped her shoulders.
I wasn’t too lucky.
I never thought I would meet Seira-sister in that vast capital.
Because of this, Lilith was separated from her party and acted alone.
It’s not that I don’t like Seira at all.
If Clarisse and Elaris were like a mother to Lilith, Seira is like an older sister to her.
Even though she was a little strict, it was always Seira who took care of and took care of Lilith, who was somehow clumsy.
“Haa…Really…”
Pressing the bridge of her nose as if to contain her anger, Seira opened her mouth.
“Why is the saintess here?”
“…That…That’s why…To participate in the coronation ceremony…”
“I know that. That’s why I’m asking why the saintess is participating in it.”
In order to protect its authority, the Goddess Church basically does not get involved in congratulations and condolences of nobles.
Even at the coronation ceremony of the emperor, it was the same.
However, as long as you live in the Empire, you cannot completely take your hands off politics.
At the coronation ceremony of an emperor like that, although he is not the highest ranking official, he sends someone comparable to him to express his sincerity.
And this time, Seira, the youngest candidate for the nun, was chosen as the target.
“Does the saintess know what she means in the Goddess Church?”
If the pope is the closest worshiper of her goddess, the saintess is the most beloved by her goddess her.
To think that such a saintess would directly participate in the coronation ceremony of the emperor!
Considering that usually the first official event after an emperor ascends the throne is to visit a church and receive a blessing from the pope or saint.
For the Goddess Church, it was unacceptable for a saintess to attend the coronation ceremony in person.
“Anyway, rumors have been ringing in my ears lately. You say she was found out in Carnea?”
“I-I can’t help it because there are a lot of people who have been injured… Because if Lilith does n’t use her strength to treat her, her life is in danger… “
At Lilith’s answer, Seira let out a short sigh.
“I understand there is nothing I can do about that situation. Because the Goddess also valued human life above all else.”
“Yes! After all, it couldn’t be helped…!”
“However!!”
Seira shouted sharply, cutting off Lilith.
“To be uncovered is to be discovered! In addition, she even tried to secretly participate in the coronation ceremony! You can’t just move on like nothing happened! For now, stay calm here until the coronation ceremony is over, then return to the Parthenon with me!”
“… The Parthenon?”
“Yes, do you have any problems?”
“Well… Soon a new semester starts at Carnea. I thought I would run out of time after going to the Parthenon…”
Then Seira put on her glasses and asked again.
“What are you talking about? Of course, my life in Carnea is over.”
“…Yes?”
“From the beginning, it was strange that the saintess attended an academy other than the Parthenon. Fortunately, I can undo the wrongs before I become a nun. Does the saintess think so too?”
“…”
“You have to answer me?”
Lilith lowered her head at Seira’s shrill voice in her.
To be honest, it’s scary to fight.
Her memories of being scolded by Seira since her childhood her are etched deep in her Lilith’s head her.
As I said before, she is nice, but Seira is a strict older sister.
Even now, she says she was wrong and wants to ask her forgiveness.
However…
She couldn’t back down from Lilith now.
Even if he made the wrong choice… No, he wasn’t wrong.
There couldn’t be anything wrong with what she was doing to help her teacher her!
Lilith clenched her fists and raised her head.
“…I do not like it!”
“Okay. Of course the saintess went to the Parthenon… Huh…? Did she say no now?”
At Lilith’s answer, Seira put on an expression of disbelief.
“Yes! That Lilith doesn’t want to go back to the Parthenon!”
Maybe it’s because she got an unexpected answer.
Saira, who had been staring blankly at her Lilith her with her mouth open for a moment, shouted.
“Are you insane now! The Parthenon is the home of a saint!! Is she saying now she won’t come home!”
“I know that very well! As Sister Seira said, the Parthenon will always be the home of Gerilis! However…!”
Lilith shouted, clenching her fists.
“But for me, Lilith, life right now is important! I like chatting with friends in Carnea, and I like hanging out!”
“If that’s the case, I’ll do it for you at the Parthenon!”
“And above all… !”
Having said that, Lilith took in her breath and exclaimed in a loud voice.
“That Lilith! She has a man she loves!”
“…..”
With Lilith’s declaration, a silence fell as if time had stopped.
“Sah…Sa…Sa…”
In the paused time, Seira’s face gradually grew hotter, and she finally shouted with her completely red face.
“Buy, buy, yearn?! Ji, now saintess! You said you longed for it!”
Saira even made a beeping noise from how embarrassed she was.
“Yes, I adore you!! How is that! The Goddess Church doesn’t specifically forbid dating!”
“Yeah…Yes…But…But still, doesn’t the saintess have an external image!”
“That Lilith doesn’t know anything like images! I don’t like it unless it’s just with the teacher!”
Sayra, who had been chewing on her lower lip her, touched her forehead and said.
“…Seo…Is the man Saint Lady loves a member of the church?”
“Um… Maybe not.”
“Then… Then is the saintess saying that she will take someone who is not even a member of the church as her companion her?”
“Yes! Right!”
“Do you think that makes sense, saintess!! Be aware of where she is! You are a saint!!”
As Seira slammed her desk, Lilith looked her straight in the eyes and said.
“She was a goddess walking down the street with three disciples, and she was really nice to see.”
“That… That’s the scripture… “
“Yes that’s right. As the scriptures say, even the Goddess, the creator of all things, was delighted to be with the creature! But can I, a mere saint, discriminate against people based on her status? If so, that would be against the will of the Goddess!”
Lilith proudly declared without showing the slightest hesitation.
“Saintess…”
“…Sister Sayra. Do not worry too much. That Lilith is all grown up too?”
With a soft smile, Lilith wrapped her hand around Seira.
“I know that this road is not easy. But… No matter what the hardships, Lilith wants to be with him. And I want Sister Seira to bless it too… Can you please?”
Seira, who had chewed her lips carefully as if feeling frustrated with her, let out a long sigh as if she had given up.
“Ha… I see. If it is the will of the saintess, then I will do so.”
“Thanks! Sister Seira.”
“…That’s Okay. …And call me Seira… Lilith.”
Lilith opened her eyes wide at Seira’s words to her, and she smiled brightly and was embraced by her.
“Yes! Seira sister!”
“Really… I thought she would always be a child, but suddenly she grew up like this… But what if she still likes to be held as an adult?”
“But it’s been a while since I met her older sister her…”
“If she really wanted to see her, she shouldn’t have come back.”
“I wanted to do that, but I did n’t have time during this vacation, and during the last vacation, I went to her orphanage and met her mother at the orphanage after a long time… “
Lilith, who had been chatting about this and that, suddenly looked at her watch her, and she jumped up in surprise.
“Ah! Seira-sister, I think Lilith should go see the teacher now! Then, see you next time at the Parthenon!”
At that moment, Seira called for Lilith, who was about to leave.
“Lee…Release…Wait…”
Then, as if she wasn’t interested, she shyly turned her head and asked in a stuttering voice.
“So…What kind of person is this teacher?”
“Whoop whoop. Sarah’s sister I wonder?”
“Ah… No… ! She’s not necessarily curious, she just buys the release right… She buys it… Because she does n’t know if she’s someone she can love… “
“Teacher… “
A happy smile forms on Lilith’s lips when she recalls Eugene.
A person who risked his life fighting in Carnea’s underground waterway.
A person who sacrificed his body so that no one would die in the riot.
And…
He has always been a man of incredible joy.
“Do not worry! Because you are a great teacher! Even if unnie comes, she will love me equally, just like everyone else!!”
“What…? Someone else? Equality? Could it be that Lilith doesn’t only love Lilith?”
“…Ah.”
Realizing her mistake at that moment, Lilith slowly backed her towards the door.
“Please explain the release properly!!”
The moment Sarah rushes in.
Her Lilith her bursts out of her room her and at the same time uses her powers her to lock her in her room her.
“Well… Then… Sera sister! See ya!”
“Release!! Don’t release this right now!!! Release!!!”
Hearing Seira’s cry echoing behind her, Lilith ran towards Eugene.
