It just disappeared as if it had never been there.

Leaving only me and Arkanso soaked from head to toe.

“This brat gave me a new quest…!”

My vision became dizzy, and my legs lost strength.

I thought all I had to do was find the relics.

Unfairness and irritation surged, and my eyes became hot.

“What kind of fantasy game is this? Defeat the Reverse Horse? Can’t I just live as a pretty and wealthy heiress? The heroines in novels live like that, don’t they?”

Falling in love with the male protagonist.

Spending passionate nights, even if not explicitly or explicitly described.

Having cute rabbit-like children.

But why is my life so complicated?

“Miss, are you okay?”

Arkanso supported me as I slumped down.
On the day I slumped down, Arkanso supported me. I didn’t want to see anything related to Moracynthia, but I had no confidence to get up without help.

“Have you heard the covenant?”

“I didn’t want to hear it. I really wasn’t interested!”

I grabbed my hair with ten fingers. Well, at most, my scalp would hurt, and my hairline would be damaged.

“I never thought I’d see this holy sight in person… Thanks to you, Lady, my heart is at peace. I sincerely thank you.”

Arkanso placed his right hand on his heart. I thought of him as an expressionless man like an ice sculpture, but his cheeks were flushed with azalea-colored petals.

“Didn’t you just hear that voice?”

“The voice? I didn’t hear it at all. I only saw the radiant light of the Holy Spirit.”

“How did you receive the covenant?”

“After ten days of fasting prayer, I received it at the Cathedral of the Transfiguration. It was only three times, but each time was a revelation given by the light, although not through words.”

Ten days of fasting prayer were dizzying just to imagine.

“Is receiving the covenant rare?”

“Among the clergy who have accepted the covenant, there are only three in the history of the church. I am one of them.”

“…!”

“I also exercise the authority equivalent to the Archbishop thanks to the covenant.”

My whole body was covered in goosebumps. If the white light was indeed the covenant, then I had also received the covenant three times.

‘Receiving the covenant three times, equivalent to the Archbishop! Even if I receive the treatment of a saint, I have nothing to say, right?’

But it didn’t end there.

I was the only one who could use the relic.

Moracynthia’s pupils had been sleeping in a deep trance after the Netlton incident for a long time.

Discovering that it was a relic and using it to wield the authority of the goddess were things only I could do.

‘If there were other relic users before, they wouldn’t have been abandoned in the cathedral…’

I covered my tingling head with both hands.

At this rate, I seemed to be on the verge of becoming a saint.

‘My head feels like it’s going to explode now, and I have to become a saint? Defeat the Reverse Horse too? I’ll die of exhaustion before finding the relic. I have to escape somehow.’

But there were witnesses.

I looked back at Arkanso.

Although his pupils were obscured, I could easily imagine how he was looking at me.

“Lady, we should move. I’m worried you might catch a cold.”

Arkanso asked politely and courteously. His attitude seemed even more polite.

“If the second relic is inside the door, and I’ve already received the covenant, I can’t go back empty-handed.”

I responded somewhat coldly.

Arkanso quickly adjusted his head.

“I was short-sighted. Then let’s fetch it right away.”

“It’s really underground, isn’t it?”

“How can I lie? Please trust Brother Arkanso, Lady.”

With raised eyebrows, Arkanso spoke as if pleading.

Just by looking at him, he didn’t seem like a high-nosed priest who would stab a deputy archbishop with a staff and treat Nikola like a neighborhood ruffian.
Stroking Arkanso as he wavered, I pondered.

‘Maybe it could be advantageous if I use him well? Claiming to be the most influential sect within the empire? Alright. If you wish, I can make you a saint. Just the way I want!’

A high-ranking priest with power rivaling that of the Archbishop was proclaiming himself as the master.

If I had to find the relic anyway, it seemed convenient to make use of the Moracynthia sect.

In that case, I had to deal with this man named Arkanso first.

Although he had already assumed a submissive posture to my command.

“You mentioned hearing about the covenant related to me, right? Don’t leave out a single detail, tell me everything.”

As I, soaked through, appeared with Arkanso’s support, Nikolai stiffened like a statue.

Stiffly.

Approaching threateningly, he briskly removed Arkanso’s hand, which was enveloping my shoulder.

As if he were shaking off a filthy bug.

“Don’t touch her.”

Nikolai glared at Arkanso and enveloped me in his arms.

Just as if he were shaking off a dirty bug.

“Your Majesty, you must not approach our Lady.”

Without hesitation, Arkanso twisted the corners of his mouth with a self-assured attitude.

Nikolai’s intense eyebrows twitched.

“O. ur. La. dy?”

Just by looking at the bluish veins bulging on his temples.

No, even by merely breathing in the same space, it was impossible not to feel Nikolai’s intense vitality.

“Why is Elizabeth your Lady?”

“Even after witnessing this astounding spectacle, are you still saying that?”
