I currently have a total of five pieces of information.
The Crown Prince harbors a lustful desire.
The Crown Prince and the temple are on the same side.
The temple, based on the trust in themselves, plans to establish an academy. However, they intend to exclude high-ranking nobles, taking only young children with divine power but without a strong backing.
Lately, the temple has been doing its best to make people believe in the gods through various donation events.
The total amount of divine power held by the temple’s priests and the Pope’s divine power varies depending on how much the people of the current empire love the gods. The current Pope has a relatively high amount of divine power.
With this information…
“For now, we must never do as the temple wishes.”
Therefore, the strategy I will take is…!
After all the informants left the room, Delphia, who had been lingering and smiling, looked at me.
“How exactly do you want to proceed, dear?”
“If you tell me, I’ll help, sister.”
I gave Delphia a very cute Cyan-style smile. In response, Delphia responded with a charming smile.
“Of course. So, what do you want?”
“I don’t know exactly what the temple and the palace ultimately want. However, what those people want right now is clear. To prevent that, we’ll use a two-track approach.”
Delphia looked puzzled and asked,
“Two tracks?”
“First, we’ll properly manage the upper echelons.”
A look of confusion crossed her face as if she was thinking, ‘What does upper management have to do with this?’
Smiling slyly, I said,
“Let’s start now!”
Since Delphia would soon learn everything anyway.
“What does it mean to manage the upper echelons properly? Huh? Hm?”
“Just…”
I chuckled and said, “You’ll know when you see it.”
The next morning, chaos erupted in front of the newspaper stand.
“What is Cyan planning to do at the top?”
“They say they’re implementing a large-scale scholarship system for the academy?!”
In front of the newspaper stand, where countless people were coming and going, discussions about Cyan’s upper management continued incessantly.
“It seems they are doing that only for children with divine power!”
Even the wind catchers sown by Cyan effectively spread the rumors.
“Is this different from sponsoring by the Mirmode family at the dimension level?”
“Amazing, isn’t it!”
Even those who were not interested in worldly affairs created an atmosphere of curiosity about what Cyan had done.
Before long, the story spread not only to commoners but also to nobles, including the temple.
Thus, Cyan’s new business seemed to sail smoothly like a favorable wind.
However, after half a day, the situation completely reversed.
“Didn’t the temple also mention supporting children with divine power?”
“Literal issues will arise, indeed.”
The merchants of Cien tilted their heads, speaking.
“But honestly…”
“Hmm?”
“If you have divine power, why go to Cien’s upper management instead of the temple?”
“Hmm…”
They looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.
It was a valid point.
Divine power is related to gods, so it would be more closely associated with the temple.
“Did Cien’s upper management not know about that fact?”
“They might not have known, but it’s regrettable.”
Cien was tapping her chin and fidgeting with her legs.
In her upper management, Deldry and Bench were always on standby, also taking on the role of a secretary. Bench cautiously opened his mouth towards Cien.
“Uhm, Lady Cien.”
“Yes?”
“Well, it’s about the scholarship system…”
“Yes, what about it? Do you like it?”
As Bench stood beside her like a twin, Deldry scratched the back of her head, avoiding eye contact.
“Well, you know. Some haven’t come yet…”
“Why? It’s a good system. Why haven’t they come? Wasn’t the promotion done well?”
“Oh, that… We promoted it in all kinds of newspapers, but…”
A deep pity filled Bench’s gaze.
Cien looked at them and nodded repeatedly.
“What’s wrong? What’s going on?”
The elongated tail of the words seemed innocent at first glance. Bench hesitated, then opened his mouth.
“They took them all away at the temple.”
“Hmm, at the temple?”
“Yes. They took all the kids who were supposed to apply for scholarships at Cien’s upper management. It seems children with divine power have faith and prefer the temple more. Especially since the qualification criteria are the same as ours…”
“What if we sponsor kids with magical power instead of divine power?”
At that moment, Cien smiled beautifully as if she had drawn it.
“Hmm, no. Forget it.”
She jumped down, heading towards the floor.
“If they come out like that from the temple, there’s a way.”
Cien now clearly understood how desperate the temple was.
‘What they need are young children with divine power who are inexperienced and lack support. I’ll figure out what they’re up to bit by bit.’
Cien spoke with a roundabout manner.
“We just need to wait for the temple to make a mistake.”
Cien stared at Bench and Deldry. Bench suddenly asked.
“Is it okay just to wait?”
“No.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
