You came to me to solve a problem with the holy relic, but if I emphasized such a pure heart, you would be reluctant to ask for it.
"The scent of tea is so good, probably because the pope is worried about me to the point of visiting the capital himself."
I said with the most docile face, to make it even more uncomfortable.
"Yes... Hmmm! By the way, saintess."
"Yes, go ahead."
"There is news that the incarnation of the saintess needs to know urgently."
"News?"
Seeing that he changed it to 'news' instead of 'request', he is also a human being with a corner like a rascal.
"Saint Nyla left behind a great holy relic to prevent the wicked darkness more than a thousand years ago, in the early days of the founding of Asteria."
"Of course I know. Because I am the incarnation of a saint. You mean the rosary the cardinal brought during the incense ceremony, right?"
"Yes. But... There's something wrong with that holy relic."
The white rosary, which symbolizes the sacrifice of Goddess Nyla, was so famous that not only the nobles but also the people knew its shape. However, there was a problem with the holy relic in this situation, when public sentiment for the temple was low. Sooner or later, an annual event will be held at the Great Temple, but the pope will be in a difficult situation as he will not be able to take the problematic relic with him.
But I pretended not to know anything and said as the pope intended.
"Oh, something is wrong with my stuff. As a saint, It's not a matter that I can let go of."
I put down the teacup with a rather serious face and stared at the Pope seriously.
"Let's see the condition of the item."
"Yes! Yes! Saintess."
The pope responded quickly with a flushed face, and I held out my hand as if asking for an item.
"Well, that ...."
"What is it?'
"The color of the rosary beads suddenly began to change slightly, so I put it in holy water containing strong divinity to prevent the discoloration. So... if you don't mind, could you stop by Hellia?"
* * *
The news of Princess Deborah's sudden departure to Hellia made the capital agitated. Of course, it is natural and common sense for a saint to stop by before being invited by the pope.
"There's nothing strange about it..."
Seeing that the saintess was Princess Deborah, it was somehow awkward. Because the Princess would be more suited to a fancy party hall than the Vatican.
And that wasn't all.
"I heard that Seymour set up an elite team to escort the saintess."
"Of course, since she's a saint, I understand, but Princess Deborah must be the strongest in the first place, why?"
"I heard that the saintess's divinity is merciless to evil demons, but merciful to people. Do you know that people are more frightening than ghosts? Maybe someone with a bad heart will attack the saintess. You should be prepared for that."
"Even though... Isn't the power that can annihilate a small country a bit severe?"
"How much is it?"
