“Ha, ha, huk-.”
Fiona breathed heavily. It was the first time she had tried to use that much power in this kind of situation. When the light powder disappeared, a fallen Lucrezia remained.
Fiona walked over to her and Lucrezia’s red eyes looked back at Fiona.
She smiled.
“I didn’t lose.”
“No, you lost.”
Fiona declared, but Lucrezia went on regardless.
“I’ll be your nightmare. You dream of suffering every night, and the door of the torture chamber will never disappear from your memory. Pain will leave scars and scars will not be erased.”
And maybe, there’s still one left. But she chooses not to say it, letting her imagine and leave it for fun.
Lucrezia said calmly.
“Besides, you killed a friend with your own hands, didn’t you?”
“You are not my friend.”
Fiona ground her teeth but Lucrezia laughed softly.
“I will be forever in your memory. Not a passer-by, not someone who appreciates the kindness you give to everyone.”
One day, when I left that damn orphanage, I was going to take you with me.
Fiona. Dear Fiona.
You said you didn’t need it
I took everything away because you said you didn’t need it, but look. Didn’t you come to find me?
You have to take care of your share.
Isn’t it right?
Those words never came out of her mouth.
Lucrezia looked at Fiona.
“I really hate you.”
Fiona was momentarily speechless and seeing her expression, Lucrezia smiled contentedly.
Yes, I missed seeing that expression, keep that face forever.
Closing her eyes, Lucrezia was blown away into dust.
Fiona’s face contorted.
She wanted to get rid of her.
And she did get rid of her.
So, even though it was removed, why didn’t shouts of joy come out? Why wasn’t she exploded in joy?
Rather, a sense of despondency gripped her.
“Ahhhhhhh!!”
“Aaaah!”
Then a scream was heard outside the temple. She initially thought it was shouts of cheers, but it is definitely a scream.
Surprised, Fiona and Nina looked at each other and ran outside at the same time.
Fiona swallowed her breath.
Black snow was falling.
No, should I say it looked black? Black snowflakes were falling from the sky.
“Lucrezia’s barrier was broken.”
Nina took Fiona’s hand. Since before, her spirit power had been pulsating vigorously as if calling her.
Fiona looked at her hand, which was caught, in surprise. The same spirit crest that was on Nina’s wrist was also engraved on Fiona’s wrist.
In her body, divine power danced along with the spirit power.
A new surge of power, which she thought was completely depleted, rose anew. It was a huge amount. As if the floodgates were opened, the power pouring out like a waterfall should be discharged. Otherwise, it seemed like her body would explode.
Fiona raised her hand.
Mimina waved her signal and watching the situation, Randell quickly began to split the clouds vertically.
Light spread across Fiona’s hand and waves of light in the distance swept through everyone.
The black snow turned to golden snow and in turn, everything was purified.
The waves of light that spread all the way to the ends of the capital soon faded, but the golden snow fell all day long.
────── •❆• ──────
Nina looked at Louis with a sullen face. Louis also looked at Nina with a troubled face.
“Something must have happened.”
“Dame Nina.”
“How many days has this been? No news!”
Everything worked out, it was even beyond what was originally planned.
There was no hypothesis of why the seed crystals lit up like that at that time, but it was simply the best.
The temple’s dignity almost hit the bottom due to the fake saint case, but the golden waves saved the worst. Those who received the light were healed, and those with mild diseases were cured.
It was truly a miracle light.
All those who were poisoned by Bellac were also healed.
Although it was not possible to finish the Saint and the Temple together as planned, they quickly finished the Saint and politically killed the power of the Temple in one hit.
At the same time, the power of Princess Vialentel was reduced, and the situation was reversed.
Now Faradiv has spread his shoulders as a strong candidate for the next emperor. Naff’s complexion also brightened. Above all, it was clear that the girl with miraculous powers was on the side of Prince Faradiv.
Fiona slept for a few days, but she woke up not long ago. There was nothing wrong with her body.
Propaganda circulated about Fiona as the daughter of the true God who defeated the evil, fake Saint Lucrezia, but Nina was completely out of the picture. Both were actually much more comfortable with that.
The Temple looked for Fiona several times, but she refused to participate in any temple activities.
They didn’t know at the time, but it’s said that Edgar had also awakened with the help of the light he received. He gave up his post of Leader of the Templars, left the temple, and was now attached to Fiona.
So, for those two it’s the end of their chapter.
‘But there’s no Adrian!’
There is no one to happily talk about this. Adrian and Jean gave no contact since then.
This is a big deal.
Nina thought so.
“You have to go find them right now!”
“But Dame Nina-.”
While troubled Louis was about to say something, the servant opened the door and came in.
“Oh, your Grace the Duke is back!!”
“Dame Nina!”
Louis said to Nina, who opened the window and jumped, “Don’t walk through the window.”, but before he could even start the nagging, she had already disappeared.
Louis looked back at the servant.
“Where is His Grace?”
“Now, they must have passed the front door.”
“All right.”
By the time Louis went downstairs to meet Adrian, Nina was already close to him.
“Adrian, Adrian, Adrian-“
There was a mix of sobbing. Adrian couldn’t help but helplessly comfort Nina, who was hugging him with her arms and legs.
“Sorry, I am too late, right?”
“……”
Nina didn’t say anything and just poked her head into his arms.
“Hey, can’t you see me?”
Jean, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth. Jean’s attire was a complete mess, but Adrian’s was neat. Of course, if you look closely, you can see traces of battle, but compared to Jean’s openly tattered and dirty clothes, it could be said that it was neat.
“I hate Jean.”
Nina opened her mouth without looking at him, and Jean says, ‘Gee.’ Nina bit her mouth and lifted her face.
She spoke to Adrian with a tearful face.
“I hate you too.”
“Yes, I’m sorry.”
Adrian apologized in a soft voice, but Nina shoved her nose in the nape of his neck again without saying a word.
“You were bad, really bad.”
While muttering, her body didn’t fall away from him. The gathered servants rolled their eyes with a face that didn’t know how to deal with.
Louis said.
“Dame Nina, both will be tired, so why don’t we hear about it later? Prepare bath water first.”
At those words, Nina jumped and fell from Adrian’s arms. With his arms wide open, Adrian looked at her and Nina pouted her lips.
“I won’t look at you.”
Then she ran up the stairs and went upstairs.
Adrian let out a groan and took off his coat. The butler quickly picked it up.
Jean rubbed his eyes.
“For now, I want to sleep no matter what. Unconditionally.”
“After washing.”
At Louis’ words, Jean frowned and let out a sigh.
“I’ll wash up, let the Vice Commander sleep. You can change the sheets after.”
At Adrian’s words, Louis said, “You must not accept it lightly.” and Jean said with a grumble, “You’re too much.”.
But he was too sleepy to protest. He didn’t even want to protest. As soon as he was guided to the bedroom, he fell asleep without taking off his clothes.
After washing up, Adrian found Nina sitting in a chair, she had dragged into the middle of his room, curling her body like a cat with her back showing.
“Nina….”
He called her like a sigh. Anyone who sees it can tell is an explicit expression of ‘I’m pissed off. I’m angry.’.
“Are you mad?”
He asked quietly.
No answer came back and Adrian slipped closer to Nina.
There was no movement.
“Nina.”
There was no movement even when he tried to pet her hair, so he hugged her and held her up with calm. With her body still rounded, he sat her still on his legs, and Adrian sat down on the seat.
He thought she was like a turtle with its arms and legs tucked in.
“Nina La Dell.”
He whispered and rubbed her back.
“It’s been a while. Show me your face. Huh?”
His forehead touched her head. She could feel the coolness of his still-wet hair.
“Nina.”
The whispering voice was low and itchy, so Nina closed her eyes tightly.
“Ha, ha, huk-.”
Fiona breathed heavily. It was the first time she had tried to use that much power in this kind of situation. When the light powder disappeared, a fallen Lucrezia remained.
Fiona walked over to her and Lucrezia’s red eyes looked back at Fiona.
