Chapter 336: You Will Forget About Your Grudge
The Saintess of the Heavenly Direction Church holds a special status and position within the church’s hierarchy. Politically, the Saintess is not as influential as the Pope, but in religious matters, she is even more revered. This is because of her ability to ’communicate’ with the heavens.
Another unique aspect of the Saintess’s position is that she is not always chosen from within the church’s ranks; she can come from outside the church as well. Regardless of status, the appearance of the Saintess is revealed by the heavens, and the church knows how to identify each generation’s Saintess through divine signs. In other words, the Saintess is chosen by the heavens, making it a highly revered status that can even surpass that of the Pope.
Aldrian had already heard about the Saintess of this generation. Many said she was unique, even compared to her predecessors. His curiosity grew as he thought about meeting the Saintess that so many spoke of.
"The Saintess wants to see me? For what? Does she need something from me?" Aldrian asked.
"To be honest, I’m not entirely sure either," Arthur replied. "But it seems she received some kind of sign that she needs to see you. She asked me personally and discreetly, so no one else in the church knows I’m here. You’d better ask the Saintess herself, because I really don’t know the details."
"A sign?" Aldrian thought. He didn’t fully understand the Saintess’s abilities, and his curiosity only grew stronger.
However, he knew that it was still too soon to leave the empire. There were still some matters he needed to take care of. He looked at Arthur.
"I see. I would also like to meet the Saintess who is said to be special, but I don’t think I can leave the empire just yet. There are still some things here that I need to take care of."
"May I know how long you will be staying?"
"Well, until my business here is finished, but I don’t think it will take too long, so you don’t have to worry," Aldrian answered.
Arthur tapped the table as if he were pondering something before looking at Aldrian.
