‘I heard that Saint Veronica, like Gabriel, was later revealed to have divine power.’

But now, it hasn’t manifested. Rather, it was from killing and stealing.

At first, the ‘maybe?’ conspiracy theory was gradually being constructed closer to the truth. Circumstances and evidence were gathering one by one.

‘Nonsense. I can not believe it.’

Aria was in shock.

‘But the situation fits it well this far?’

Veronica was actually a murderer. She wasn’t a saint, contrary to what Veronica was actually known for. She had been blinded by power enough to kill people, taking away their divine power and making it appear as her own, earning the respect and praise of the people.

If this premise was true.

‘What about the rest?’

She somehow felt nervous and restless. Aria suddenly stood up from her seat. Then, she followed his curious gaze.

‘This is not the time.’

She quickly tried to get out of the room but paused and glanced back at Gabriel for a moment.

She had something to ask.

[What do you think about killing innocent people?]

“I guess it’s because I asked for the jewel. I’ll fully reflect on it.”

No, she was not being sarcastic. Aria shook her head and told him more clearly.

[I just wanted to ask your beliefs.]

“You’re asking the obvious. There’s no reason an innocent person should die.”

Gabriel answered straight away. It didn’t sound like a lie.

Above all, Aria had already met Gabriel once in the lowest place. He jumped in to save her from peril, even when he was so weak that he couldn’t even beat the vagrants.

‘He is an undeniable good man.’

He had an upright personality that was closer to a paladin than anyone else. Gabriel was like a straight river. A river that rushes towards the sea.

She thought that if she had met him without knowing his future, they might have been good friends.

‘I can’t believe he’ll change like that in the future.’

If the reason for such a change was to make the saint’s wish come true. Aria had something she wanted to say in advance.

[Even if the saint wants it?]

“…please don’t insult the saint. There is no way she would want an innocent death.”

Gabriel said with a hard expression on his face as if he had been insulted.

[I’m asking if you’re going to follow the saint even if it goes against your beliefs.]

“As a test of my faith?”

[No, to ask what is the path for the saint.]

Will he follow her will or lead her on the right path?

‘You in your previous life chose the former.’

Aria hoped that in this life it would be different. Because she liked Gabriel before he fell for Veronica’s beliefs.

[Gabriel, I told you not to doubt the path you walk.]

She wrote with all her heart. Not by the title of angel, but with his real name. She hoped this young man would make the right choice in the future. Taking the path he had dreamed of.
