Chapter 406 – Day 56 – The Princess Finally Realizes the Whole Truth
“Lord, please kill me! Princess…!”
Ceres, who was screaming mournfully, was by no means overdoing it.
In a situation that had shattered her only hope of finding her saint, Ceres was the only person to take responsibility for her.
Her status was low, and it was Ceres who was holding the box containing the ‘computing device’ in her hand. If someone had to die, he was the right person.
“What kind of… Terrifying things are you talking about? Stop bowing your head and getting up from your seat? Neither Grace nor Lucia think you did anything wrong.”
“Ha, but…”
“It’s okay. Mr. Ceres. The demons dug a trap, right? It was an accident that couldn’t be helped. To be honest, even if the princess entered, the result would have been the same.”
“I agree. Rather, if the princess had gone inside… Considering the time it exploded, there’s a chance something bigger could have happened.”
The two High Priests were talking really calmly. Aside from that, in their hands were precious pieces of shattered metal and jewels.
“She said that if the princess had gone inside and she had an explosion … She would n’t have died instantly, but her body her would have been seriously injured …”
Hedo, you were talking and pointed at the hole through which black smoke was gushing out.
“He must have suffocated in there or come out with fatal wounds. Rather, Mr. Ceres came out quickly and it ended like this.”
“A-Thank you… But the sins I committed…”
“Stop it. Ceres. If you say more, I’ll strip him of his underwear and beat him on the butt as punishment for destroying the arithmetic unit.”
When the princess spoke so playfully, Ceres had no choice but to stand up from her seat with his head bowed.
It was unavoidable. Ceres, who was only guilty of entering a trap room, could not be decapitated. Since no one wanted it, the princess slapped Ceres on the back and looked away from her again.
In Grace and Lucia’s hands, there were traces of ‘computing devices’ that had collected every speck of dust.
“Harlot, how can this not work?”
“Impossible.”
When the statue answered without a moment’s thought, the princess let out a long sigh.
‘Well… If you need a magic tool, you need a whole figure…’
It was a moment when her heart broke.
“Can I get the computing device somewhere else?”
“No information available.”
“What the hell do you guys know?”
The princess, who was grumpy for no reason, slapped Harlot’s butt her with the palm of her hand. As she was surprisingly fat, she felt rather bad for the princess.
“Well… Anyway, I can’t help it.”
“Wow, princess. Do you have any plans?”
“No. But on the other hand, how long can you not be so flustered? Grace, Lucia. You guys should now go upstairs and go to sleep. It must be well past midnight.”
“It’s 3:00 AM now.”
The princess rubbed her forehead with her hand as her Harlot her spoke helplessly beside her.
“Bur, is it three o’clock already?”
“…Well, since I came down to the basement after dinner… Time must have passed since I was looking for things.”
“Aren’t you both overdoing it? Hedone and everyone go up and sleep.”
The princess smiled and lightly pushed her three shoulders.
“What about the stupid princess?”
“I’d like to think a little.”
“You should sleep. The princess too.”
“What do you do if Harlot runs away? Don’t worry, everyone, go get some sleep!Haha! It’s not going to be solved by rolling her head her anyway!”
Conversely, sleeping did not seem to solve this problem.
“Whoah… Well, I understand. Princess. I’m sorry.”
There was a festival today. Grace and Lucia were tired beyond imagination.
It was an extreme situation that the saintess had been kidnapped, so she was forced to move her body her, but it was not strange that she fell asleep at least three hours ago.
“Then I’ll come early in the morning. Princess.”
“Don’t do anything strange… If you’re too tired, go to sleep, foolish princess.”
Hedone even gave her a kiss and patted her princess her. The princess, who wanted to resolve this situation, made it clear that she wanted to be alone, so she also decided to climb on top of her and sleep with her.
That’s how Grace, Lucia, and Hedone all went up to the ground, and Ceres and the two of them… The princess, who had become three with the statue, let out a long sigh.
“…Ceres, go up and rest.”
“Princess…”
“That’s it,haha! I want to be alone for the first time in a while. Won’t I?”
When her princess spoke with her strange expression her, Ceres approached her princess, thinking that no one was there.
They kissed each other gently and kissed each other for a while.
“It’s okay if you scold me.”
“Didn’t you really say there was nothing wrong with you? Ho-oh, or maybe! Did you really want to mess with this big ass?”
The princess laughed for nothing and punched Ceres’ butt! And she hit me
“Ah…! Woah, Princess, really… Don’t overdo it.”
Ceres, who spoke anxiously, walked away from the princess, bowed her back at 90 degrees, and hurriedly followed the three people who had gone up earlier.
“Whoa, it’s just you and me now.”
As she had hoped, the princess, who was alone with Harlot, let out a long breath.
* * *
“Anyway, now that we’re alone, let’s talk comfortably.”
The princess, intending to ask about something she could never have said in front of Grace and Lucia, was in her saint’s room her.
She didn’t head here for no particular reason.
‘For now, I can move to the hallway and the saintess’s room…’
The princess thought of thoroughly testing her Harlot her.
How far you can go, what you know, what you can do…
She was full of things she could only do when she was alone.
“Are you the goddess of justice?”
“I am Harlot.”
“Is that name of the goddess of justice?”
Harlot did not answer. The princess silently glared at her halot her, then reached out her hand her and touched her soft cheek.
She didn’t even scream that she was in pain. This was something she had confirmed by slapping her on the butt earlier.
“It’s hard to tell if you’re alive or dead.”
“I am not a living organism, Master.”
“Again… Again… Again… It’s not the language of the East, and the words I can’t understand are constantly flowing out.”
The princess with her tongue her pointed at her room her with her finger her.
“Have you ever been to this room?”
“There is not.”
“Are you clearly aware of the existence of the saintess?”
“Yes.”
It was a short but clear answer. She could not be said to be satisfied, but the princess was very slowly grasping her Harlot.
“Did you give the prophecy that countless saints want so far?”
“Yes, Master. That’s right.”
“Then why couldn’t you properly prophesy 10 years ago?”
“There was an earthquake.”
Harlot said so and got up from his seat. She then started to head somewhere on her own.
“Ha, Harlot! Where are you going!”
“Ten years ago. There was an earthquake so great that this underground facility could not function normally.”
“Hmm… 10 years ago, I think I’ve heard of it… But I don’t think so…”
“The earthquake permanently destroyed the generators that provide the power needed to sustain this facility.”
“As for the generator… You mean the one that Diana showed me at the factory before?”
Harlot did not answer and went into the room where her saint was being educated. After that, she made her way to the baby room, without hesitation.
“To maintain this facility…”
Harlot looked at her princess for a moment.
“I sacrificed my heart. Thanks to that, this facility was able to survive.”
“…In return, did your body harden? Like a piece of stone?”
“You can say that, Master.”
“But why did you do that? Without you, the Church of Saints… Keuheum! Couldn’t it be maintained! In the first place! She was a saint, how could she prophesy?”
Harlott didn’t answer if she knew anything. She looked at the room where she was raising the baby in silence.
“Saints are born here.”
“I-I know. But isn’t this room damaged?”
“A child born here with the right genes can be imprinted on me and receive a prophecy. Master.”
“What am I? I was born here…Ah, no! I don’t exist! I was accepted by Aunt Amilias…”
Perhaps? In her heart her, the princess spoke her words her as her face her turned pale, and Harlot shook her head.
“Master, you have a legitimate right.”
So, what the hell is that?
“Anyway, what is your reason for coming to this room? Harlot.”
“…The reason I sacrificed my heart 10 years ago is to keep this room. But it doesn’t seem to last long.”
“Harlot, be honest. Can’t a child not born in this room receive your… What, I mean, something called an imprint?”
“Yes, it is.”
“In other words, she was born from the body of a saintess, but does she cease to be a saintess?”
“You’re right.”
The princess could barely understand the heart of her saintess.
‘She is a saint… She knew she was. Even if she herself becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, she will not become a saint! That must be why she did that with Messalina! Then…’
The princess swallowed her saliva and grabbed Harlot by the wrist her to prevent him from escaping.
“Tell me how I can prophesy without your help!”
“…Master.”
“Did n’t all the answers come out! The saintess is not an idiot! Because this room was destroyed, she knew that a baby born from her womb could not become a saint! But her order her was maintained. In other words !”
The princess snapped her fingers.
“It means that there is a way to prophesy for 10 years without your help, who has become a statue! At the same time! The saintess wishes. I hope you don’t do it! If you don’t need to be imprinted, there’s no need for such a bad habit to exist!”
If Lucia had heard of it, she would have caused an uproar, but since the princess was alone with Harlot, she spoke without hesitation.
“That’s the correct answer, Master.”
Harlot answered unexpectedly honestly, and then she looked at the princess.
‘I feel it now… Harlot is taller than me…?’
It’s a statue, so it’s natural. The princess met her gaze while thinking.
“Are you ready to clear the trash from the ground anytime, Master?”
“…What?”
“Your master has that right.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! I am the princess of the empire where the sun never sets! I am the royal family, Venus Holimpia! I! I have a duty to protect each and every human being on this earth! I have no right to do what you said. It’s nowhere!”
Harlot did not change her expression at the princess’s cry.
“Why? That’s your reason for being, and that’s why I call you master. You have a duty to rid the land of the trash that exists on this land, and you call yourself a god…”
The princess covered Harlot’s mouth with her two hands.
“Stop. Stop talking. I have no such obligation, and even if I did, why would I do such a thing? I have no intention of doing it. So stop talking. If you’ve been calling me master for that reason, stop serving me from now on go.”
Saying that, the princess slowly removed her hand from her from Harlot’s mouth her.
“Why are you defending those trash? You acted with three trash today too.”
“Trash, trash! Don’t keep saying that! Have you ever been on the ground? Everyone is living a good life! In the first place… Do you know why I want to receive a prophecy from you?”
The princess screamed in frustration.
“The Church of Saints! It must exist in order to maintain an empire where the sun never sets! Not for my wealth or fame! Not for my honor! If the Church disappears, won’t countless people who have lost their faith fall into suffering?”
“……”
“Where on earth do orphans who have lost their mother and father go to eat? Where should those who do good deeds for the sake of the teachings given by the Goddess of Justice feel little satisfaction? If the Order disappears! That’s right!! No one can heal wounds! No one can learn divine power!”
The princess clenched her hands and held her Harlot’s hand.
“A magical tool capable of receiving prophecies…! If you know the power, tell me! Harlot!! Am I the princess, begging for this!”
Harlott finally made a move. Suddenly, he grabbed the princess’s wrist and headed for the saintess’s room.
“Are you ready to sacrifice yourself to save a life that has no value?”
“It has always been done. If you want a sacrifice, tell me. I’ll give you an arm.”
Harlot smiled at the princess’ answer.
Finally… The sacrifice I made 10 years ago wasn’t wrong at all.
Justice gave a small smile and knelt down to her princess and bowed her head.
“Ha, Harlot?!”
“The Goddess of Justice greets you. Nice to meet you, Princess Venus. I will show you the answer to the question you wished for right now.”
The goddess grabbed her hard floor her with both her hands and pushed her sideways with her fingers in her groove her. She saw a white door and she caught it and felt a chill as she pushed it aside.
The goddess carefully took out a certain bottle and quietly showed it to the princess.
“This is how the saints can receive prophecies without my help.”
“Isn’t this… Nu, an eyeball?”
Blue eyeballs were floating on the goddess’s palms, and the princess realized something creepy thanks to this.
“You’re saying…You have to pluck out your eyes?!”
