Chapter 107: Saintess of the Heavens
0% “Saint...?”
At the word “saint,” Lady Aridel’s face popped into my mind. I’d only ever seen her portrait and never actually met her.
Did they recruit saints like this nowadays? I couldn’t quite grasp why the pope of a significant sect, especially the Aldehir Church, which serves one of the five great Gods, would make such an offer to Roka.
A quick look around showed the cardinal and every priest there equally stunned.
“Wait... is that something you eat?”
The proposal had caught Roka off guard as well. She hesitated before speaking, blurting out something typical of her. Still, I couldn’t believe she didn’t know the meaning of the term “saint.” She was probably just flustered.
...Right?
“Your Holiness Poem, may I ask you something?”
“Of course, Your Eminence. What is your question?”
“Can a saint of any of the continent’s five major denominations really be chosen so casually?”
“What’s the issue? If God wills it, any child on the street can become a saint.”
