I killed him.

What?

His eyes slowly filled with cruelty.

Elena was in despair. Since when did the priest who loved life get his hands dirty? As she was dragged out, she saw the corpse of the mad emperor hanging in the gates.

And

Aaaaaahh!

: * * :

Huek!

Gasping for her breath, Ellin raised her body up. Cold sweat was running down her body as she gripped the blanket tightly. It seemed that she suddenly had such a dream because she was worried about Erich and Arkan.

As Ellin sighed, the past came into her mind.

Tears fell from her eyes before they dropped onto the bed. She whimpered for a long time.

Arkan

Perhaps, it was because she met that person, but his face kept coming to her mind.

In a previous life, being involved with that person was probably inevitable. Arkans eyes belonged to the Normatians living as slaves, and it was a significant obstacle to their legitimacy and dominance. Because of that, he needed someone to dilute the stigma.

And that was the Saint, Elena.

To marry a virtuous person who used the power of God to repel demons What a beautiful picture that was. Regardless, Elena rejected him, and he took her regardless of her will. It was an obvious kidnapping.

That was how Arkan and Elena got married.

Erich was outraged by the abduction of the Saint. Elena, who was kidnapped, naturally didnt try to mediate between them, and the relationship between them worsened.

Eventually, Erichs army occupied the Capital.

Nevertheless, it was impossible for him to enter the Imperial Palace blindly. It meant there was an insider. the identity of the insider was revealed so easily.

It was Harald, Arkans younger brother.

God punished Arkan, who killed his blood to ascend to the throne. It was the betrayal of his younger brother. However, this wasnt going to happen yet. Arkan immediately ascended to the throne for some reason, and Ellin wasnt the Saint.

What are you going to do this time?

Ellin thought about Arkan. Sponsoring Liliana meant that the Emperor knew she was fake.

No way Is he going to bring the real saint and get married? Secretly this time?

Her chest trembled at the thought.

It was a possibility.

As she thought about their married life, their marriage was simply awful.

Arkan, you What are you really trying to do?

She closed her eyes and shed tears. Neither in his first life nor in his second life, his hatred of the temple didnt change.

: * * :

Miss Ellin, youre really outstanding.

At Erichs words, Angelias eyes turned to her, and Ellin bowed her head in shame.

I always admire your insight.

Thank you, High Priest.

Elin couldnt disappoint Erich, even though she knew that Angelias gaze wasnt good. So, when it came to his class, she studied hard.

You seem to know everything about the people who appeared in each era and what they did. In particular, opinions about which anecdotes will have an impact on the general public have been of great help to me personally.

.

Then, Ill reward Miss Ellin today.

Saying so, he rummaged through his arms and pulled out something heavy. Ellin gazed at it and widened her eyes. What Erich was carrying was the Golden Bible. A book was all covered in gold. Every time it moved, its golden color sparkled.

Ellin and Angelia were also surprised.

High, High Priest this is

Take it.

Ah

When Ellin hesitated, Erich reached out and placed it into her hand. She felt the touch of cold gold. The cover of the book was studded with splendid jewels and pearls. Not only that, but she could also see a large diamond embedded in the center of the cross.

It was one of the precious treasures that even high aristocrats couldnt easily have.

However, Ellin wasnt mesmerized by its majesty.

What is this?

I give this as a reward to the Saint.

High Priest Erich, why This is so precious

The Saint has always worked hard.

Even in her first life, Erich spoke softly and held the Bible out to her. In the meantime, he was staring at Elenas face, lest shed refuse the gift. He knew that she had tried to fulfill her duties as the Saint, and that was why he prepared a present just to please her.

How happy her heart was.

And now, what he had given to the Saint, he gave to the commoner Ellin.

Its too much for me.

But, those who work hard should be rewarded.

Then, you can just say that youre giving me the test instead.

This reward is given to those who usually work hard like you. Those who work hard in a situation in which rewards may or may not be awarded, whether early or late, deserve a proper reward.

At his words, Ellin lowered her head as her face blushed. He was always thinking and watching the commoner Ellin.

Isnt that the will of God? Ellin, think this is Gods will.

A strange sensation arose.

Erich was a really nice person. Right before his death, she felt sorry for accusing him and condemning him about Arkan. And even now, Ellin was feeling so apologetic that she didnt tell him that Liliana was the fake saint.

Still, I cant accept this.

Ho, take it. This is an order.

Erich said in a stern tone.

At the same time, Angelias also began to sigh annoyedly at her. It meant for her to bounce around moderately and just accept it. In the end, Ellin eventually accepted the Bible. She felt a familiar and cold touch.

Thank you, High Priest.

Please, pay attention to the word of God. We also have to work hard to practice for the festival.

Erich smiled softly.

Gazing at the Bible in her hand, Ellin suppressed the guilt and indescribable emotions that were swelling up.
