Chapter 24 Its Name!
"A...bet?"
Flander looked at Lette in surprise, "Your Highness, what do you want to bet on?"
Lette pointed to the Holy Sword in the distance, "Since you say this sword is a divine relic bestowed by your Light God.
And you've been boasting about how mighty and majestic the Light God is! Then I, a mere mortal, surely can't pull out this Holy Sword, right?
But I'm the type who doesn't believe in such things, so I want to give it a try.
But simply pulling it out like that seems quite silly and dull, so how about we bet on something, to add some excitement to this mundane life."
Flander hesitated for a moment, then began to waver internally.
As a core member of the New Church, she naturally knew that this sword was not a divine relic of the Light God.
The reason for such a show was firstly to make a spectacle and take advantage of the Holy Presence Ceremony to promote the New Church and recruit more believers.
Secondly, to grab a share of the terrifying income from this Holy Relic.
After all, due to differences in doctrine and divine taboos, the New Church was despised in the Holy City.
