Selvia gently shook her head. She ignored Ratius's steady gaze and tapped her mother's necklace. A bright light flashed and a voice came through just like before. "You will become the child who will brighten the world someday. Since you are hidden in shadows, find one who wields the power of god. They will be your way to survive." Ratius's face showed understanding at last. "So your frequent visits to the temple were to find me?" "Yes. They said you would be my path to survival." Path…-

"What...... does that mean?" Ratius didn't want to believe it. He thought she was just tired, that her body was unwell from overusing her power recently. His eyes showed great disturbance. His hands gripping the chair tightened unconsciously. He couldn't say anything as he watched Selvia speak so calmly about her own death. "You told me before that you could use the power of god, right?" "I did." "Your Majesty, I'll ask you directly." Her eyes sparkled like sand reflecting…

"A nosebleed?" "Yes, she seemed to have overexerted herself recently and got a nosebleed, so she called me to change the blanket." Mellin gathered her courage and told Ratius. "No other problems besides that?" "She said she couldn't sleep and asked for tea, so I brought her some warm tea." "......She's not sleeping properly?" "She seems to be accumulating fatigue. I'll report occasionally on her progress since I'll continue making tea for her." Though something seemed suspicious,…

Selvia collapsed onto the bed looking exhausted. "I'm tired." Still, since everything was resolved at once, there probably wouldn't be such events for a while. As fatigue swept over her and she closed her eyes to rest for a moment, she heard a 'tap tap' sound at the window. "......Hm?" When she raised her body and looked toward the window, a bird was pecking at it with its beak. "Did something happen?" Selvia lightly touched her foot to move the shadow. When the shadow approached the…

"I don't know how it was before, but I'm not like that." Ratius's eyes changed. "I can't promise I won’t do anything if I share a room with you." He stepped closer to Selvia and bent down. Her mouth went dry at the suddenly shortened distance. "Just looking at you like this naturally steals my attention." Selvia blinked slowly at his touch as he gently stroked her hair. She didn't avoid it since the touch wasn't unpleasant. Selvia felt her heart flutter as she silently waited for…

"Ah...... I apologize." He hurriedly turned his head away with a reddened face. He looked quite flustered. Selvia tilted her head at his behavior before realizing she was in her nightwear. "Where did Mellin go for Your Majesty to bring the tea......" "Ah, I wanted to talk so I sent her away." "You came at night like this without knowing I would be dressed this way?" "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?" Selvia smiled faintly at Ratius's innocent tone. She would have…

Selvia stood up and left the prophecy room. After carefully closing the door, she felt a presence as she turned around. "Did you find what you were looking for?" At the clear and pure voice echoing through the air, Selvia's head instinctively lifted. A man with brown hair and green eyes stared at her intently. The holy power rippling around his body spoke of who he was. "High Priest?" "It seems you know me." "I had a feeling it was you. Am I right?" "Yes, you are." "Somehow…

"The Karina Empire is truly magnificent." It was immediately apparent that the temple wasn't built just for show. The building's exterior was designed in an enclosing form, as if it's trying to separate from the outside, presenting a noble appearance. The traces of deep contemplation about its utilization were clearly visible in the architecture. Rose-patterned windows formed the main axis, and Ionic columns supported the entablature. Moreover, it looked even more beautiful as it was supported…

"Your Highness the Queen! No, Lady Selvia!" Belrocan quickly came out to greet her. Selvia showed the documents in her hand and smiled brightly. "Sorry I'm later than expected. Please call me Selvia from now on, since I just got expelled from my family." Though he was internally surprised at the mention of expulsion, seeing Selvia's bright face, he nodded and said. "Not at all. You're not that late. More importantly, did everything get resolved well......" "Thanks to you, it's all resolved…

Selvia had the knights wait briefly. Before leaving completely, there was an issue she needed to resolve at the Flandre duchy. Once she went to another country, she would never return to the Kingdom of Delpheron. There was no reason to, nor was it necessary. Selvia stared at the divorce papers in her hand. "That was easier than expected." The divorce was quick. But before remarrying Ratius, she needed to be expelled from her family. Selvia blankly stared up at the mansion she hadn't seen…
