I was helped by Delfina and slowly walked towards the Thanh Kim Thach Palace. Cesar went to save Lucia, now it's time for me to buy some time.
Just in time, the priests of the Holy See arrived on time and were investigating in front of the controversial statue of the Saint.
Not only were the priests investigating, but also countless people gathered there. The miracle of the Saintess statue became famous in the Royal Palace, and news of the Holy See's appointment
Miracle Investigation Team
It made things much more serious.
I smiled complacently. All those gathered here will be witnesses to the event that is about to happen.
“How is the Queen's situation?”
I quietly asked Ave who was hiding in my sleeve. This magical chick has the ability to move around like a god in the Royal Palace, so it is very suitable for secretly observing everywhere.
"She seemed very angry. Breaking things and breathing heavily."
Ave flapped her wings as if she found it funny.
“Now as long as Cesar succeeds……”
“Don't worry, master will do well!”
Ave encouraged me when he saw I was worried.
“Thank you, Ave.”
That's right. Cesar will definitely do well. I believe Cesar. So now it's time for me to retain these people.
I approached the priests. The old priest shaved his hair and the young priest bowed to me.
“Your Royal Highness, the content of this letter says that you witnessed a miracle, is that true?”
I paused for a moment then answered.
"That's right."
The old priest asked me.
“Unfortunately, Your Highness. We cannot sense any Divine Power from this statue of the Holy Maiden.”
“Even more traces of magical power than Divine Power can be felt.”
As they said that, the people gathered around the statue of the Saintess began to stir.
“Isn't it a miracle?”
"No, it can't be. I clearly saw a miracle!"
"But the Priests of the Holy See said so. Priests cannot lie."
A great chaos occurred. Some people even shed tears on the spot.
I slowly walked out and stood in front of the statue of the Saintess.
“At dawn, I heard it.”
When I opened my mouth, everyone looked at me. I slowly waited for everyone to quiet down and focus on what I was saying. Soon, silence fell, and the people gathered were just waiting for me to say something.
“What I heard while I was sleeping was my voice
Supreme Lord
. That voice was so clear and resounding like thunder that I was startled awake!”
Then, an hour
Oh
rang out from the crowd. I saw the surprised expressions of the two priests, but their position was not enough to stop the words of the Royal Highness like me, so I continued to say meaningless things.
"At first, I thought this voice belonged to someone screaming outside. Because it was so loud and majestic. But it wasn't. There was silence all around, only that voice reached my ears! Those were special words."
Supreme Lord
personally preached it to me!”
It sounds ridiculous, but now I have to buy time with this story. The more my lie is received, the better. Just need Cesar to complete his work while everyone's attention is focused here.
I held up the bible and cross I had brought with me.
Oh, what a shame.
“That's right. That's the voice of
Supreme Lord
! He personally anointed my head with oil and said:
My faithful little lamb, the end of all things is near, be alert, sober-minded and prayerful!
I was surprised and quickly clasped my hands in prayer. And
Supreme Lord
and said to me:
As soon as the sun rises, come to the palace decorated with turquoise and bear witness to My power!
And really……. I saw that here. Miracle of
Supreme Lord
……”
I bowed my head once and squeezed out tears. It's not easy to continue acting, but when I think of the child who is imprisoned and suffering right now, I feel my heart ache.
“……I witnessed. I truly saw the miracle of
Supreme Lord
, heal the sick, remove all the hardships and tribulations of the world! All those great voices, those thunderous calls! How can you say that this great miracle is a lie!”
My voice now echoes throughout this fountain square. Please, Cesar. Save Lucia quickly! I can't do this anymore……!
At that moment, a guard announced someone's arrival.
"Long live Queen Cornelia, Her Noble Royal Highness of the Asetria Empire. Guardian of the Wooden Cross and Rose, representative of Mercy and Integrity. Let's all pay homage!"
The Queen has arrived. Okay, it would be better if the Queen came. I won't have to continue this cheap drama anymore. Behind the Queen was Countess Elvira with a pale and stiff face. Today, even she couldn't hide her discomfort.
Just wait a little longer. I will rescue Lucia right away.
“The glory of the Holy Cross. What is all this noise?”
Queen Cornelia approached us with a slightly pale but smiling face. But I know it well. Ugly face hidden under that mask.
"God bless you. Your Royal Highness the Queen."
The two priests hastily performed the ceremony with the Queen. The Queen also bowed slightly and approached me.
"I heard that the Princess witnessed a miracle. Is that true?"
I tried to open my eyes as wide as possible, looking at Cornelia with an expression filled with joy. When I smiled like that, I saw her flinch slightly.
“Yes, I heard your voice clearly
Supreme Lord
.”
Cornelia frowned a bit, but immediately smiled brightly.
“Is that really the voice of
Supreme Lord
No?”
"My fidelity can be proven by my Confessor. Why do you doubt my will?"
Supreme Lord
?”
When I asked her again with wide eyes, the Queen seemed to falter. Surely what I said seemed absurd, but in front of the priests of the Holy See, it was difficult to deny that I heard the voice of
Supreme Lord
.
At that moment, the ground suddenly shook. Accompanied by sound
Boom, Boom
was the sound of something breaking.
“What is going on?”
“Ah ah ah!”
“Earthquake!”
The knights escorting the Queen used their cloaks to cover the Queen's head, surrounding her, to prevent Cornelia from being injured.
People moved in panic, and the priests opened their eyes wide at this unusual phenomenon.
What shattered was the window glass, and when the noise subsided, a bright yellow light enveloped us.
At that moment, I immediately knew it was Lucia's Divine Power that Cesar had released. I felt the pain in my ankle, which was sore from walking a long distance, suddenly disappear. It was not a fake miracle that I presented, but a real miracle.
Immediately afterwards, everyone standing there was surprised when golden light like falling stardust covered their entire bodies.
"What, what is that? This light?"
“Miracle!”
The people gathered there felt whatever small pains remained in their bodies disappear when receiving golden light. It was a power much stronger than what they felt before the statue of the Holy Maiden. That is truly the Force.
The priests were also surprised. They gasped with stunned expressions.
“Linh, Father Guiliano?”
“Wha, this is finally……!”
They wanted to know where this vast Divine Power came from. Guiliano hurriedly tried to take the magic sensing device away from him, but then stopped. Even without that tool, they still feel it with their skin. What good is it when even ordinary people who know nothing cry out miracles in unison?
“The Force, and an extremely powerful Force.”
Ambrogio trembled and crossed himself with an extremely emotional expression.
"My God, Ambrogio. This is the first time I have seen such a powerful Divine Force with my own eyes."
As the dust faded, two figures appeared. One was a tall man, and the other was a very small and skinny child.
However, they glowed as if they were plated with gold, making it difficult for people to look straight. Everyone squinted their eyes, trying to make out their identities.
