Leo, who was embedded in the stone, is gone and nowhere to be found.

“He hid very well.”

The temple where Leo was first discovered was visited immediately, but the forehead of the stone statue where he was embedded had a hole in it.

Everything else remained as it was in the past, except for Leo. The conjecture that my regression was due to Leo has been proven.

While the curiosity was satisfied, the frustrating feeling did not improve.

No matter how calculative I am, I understand grace.

Leo was a benefactor. He was the only friend who did not ignore me, did not ask for anything in return, and stood by my side.

He did what my birth mother could not do for me.

Although the word “family” has long faded within me, if there was someone most suitable for that word, it was Leo.

With a firm grip on the cold stone, I closed my eyes.

“Come back. I’ll quietly listen even if you curse me as a thief.”

Thinking of Leo, the vast wheat fields of the kingdom come to mind.

Under the clear sky, a land full of life. A giant wolf leaps above it. It was a vivid scene like the one I had seen before.

It would suit even if it rained.

Even a misty rain would be beautiful, but Leo would probably like a windy rain.

When the wind and rain flutter, he would dance more joyfully. The green wheat would be crushed under his feet but would revive like a lie.

A line expressing him came to my retina.

Without realizing it, my lips opened.

“You brought rain to this dry land. Gently sprinkle the dry grass leaves. Jump more joyfully. The whole world will rejoice with you.”

I slowly closed and opened my eyes. What’s going on? Somehow, I felt tired. It seemed like I missed something very dear, and my chest felt empty.

“Suddenly, why is it raining?”

Jenny’s voice pierced my ears.

I closed my eyes slowly and looked up.

Jenny, who had been dozing off in the armchair, was now rubbing her eyes and looking outside.

According to her words, rain was falling outside. “Oh, it’s windy too. It’s a wind rain.”

For a moment, an unexplainable chill ran down my spine.

Wind rain?

“No way?”

I looked again at the rain falling outside and then lowered my gaze.

I slowly extended the hand that tightly held Leo’s stone.

On the back of the hand, the same water droplet pattern as the priest’s was emitting a blue light.

After several attempts, I reached a conclusion.

“This is the power of the priest.”

I looked up at the sky. The cleared sky was clean, clear, and beautiful. The ground and the grass were moist, and the air smelled fragrant with rain.

It was the result I had created.

Unconsciously spoken words. The sentence that seemed to come to my mind.

“Did I speak a wise saying?”

There was no doubt.

I closed the window and sat heavily in the chair.

I used the power of the priest!

It was extremely moving and unexpected, but now it was time to settle the chaotic thoughts in my head.
How did this happen?

It was known that priests were born with the blessing of water. Even if the manifestation is delayed, the aptitude is revealed from a young age.

No signs until their twenties, and suddenly becoming a priest?

“…Did I gain the ability like a sudden gift?”

I chuckled at my own thoughts.

“No way.”

I covered my mouth with my hand, and the corners of my mouth slowly dropped.

“Did I steal it?”

If there is a guess, there is only one. The tattoo on the back of the hand of the priest who prayed. The blue light transferred to my fingertips.

I immediately wrapped my head and fell into contemplation.

“But how is this even possible?”

I’ve never heard of anyone stealing the blessing of water from a priest! If there were such a case, there would have been an uproar.

Priests symbolize the kingdom along with the temple.

Becoming a priest meant guaranteeing the future from the kingdom.

The special affection for Arius by the entire family was not only because she came from a desirable background and had a beautiful appearance. It was because she was a priest.

And that ability was taken away.

“If this fact is revealed…”

A shiver ran down my spine.

“I could be killed.”

Or be punished for the sacrilege.

Even if others don’t know, the priest’s side will definitely move that way.

“I have to keep this a secret from everyone.”

Suddenly, he thought of someone.

“Giovanni.”

Thinking that only one person would welcome this fact, the anxious heart became a little quieter.

Giovanni and Kiecheff were in a predicament. It had been a day since they left the oasis, but they were still somewhere on an unknown land.

“Is this the right path?”

“It seems correct! If we get out of here, we should see the pass!”

“I…”

In front of them, there were only trees.

“I don’t know…”

Giovanni’s gaze at Kiecheff, who was sweating profusely, was like looking at a broken compass.

The kingdom was small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

Still, climbing the mountain was a problem because if they crossed the mountain range, they could arrive in half a day.
