Chapter 1137 - 1137: Engraving 3
After he finished speaking, before the Hero or the Fourteenth Princess could respond, the first to speak was the Seventh Prince, a family member.
"Sorry, Cardinal. Forgive me, but this plan... I fear it is not something you just thought of recently?" The young man furrowed his brows slightly, seemingly carefully considering his wording.
"Indeed." Star Kindness Cardinal was initially somewhat surprised, then candidly looked at the Prince, "This is a proposal I secretly submitted to His Majesty the King several years ago. I didn't expect Your Highness had also reviewed it, it seems you care deeply for your sister."
"Since that's the case, you must be quite aware of the flaws in this proposal?" There was a tone of questioning in the Seventh Prince's voice, causing whispers to arise in the venue.
"Of course. Precisely because I, as the proposer, am most aware of its essence, that's why I only showed it to His Majesty the King back then."
The Hero thought briefly, combining the reactions of the crowd, and soon understood what the so-called flaw was.
She gently touched the metal ring on her thigh, feeling somewhat subtly.
—Slave imprint.
Yes, the stigmata developed by Star Kindness Cardinal functions similarly to a slave imprint.
Since it can fully control the flow of magic power of the recipient, then with slight modifications, further manipulation of the body, even spirit, is a breeze.
Although due to the repellency of magic power, for normal Professionals, even if forcibly engraved with such an imprint, to rise and resist to remove it is not difficult.
But for patients with Magic Dissociation, this is a shackle of life and death.
Grasping the imprint means grasping the Princess's life, and everything.
Seeing the Demon-locking Ring worn by the Fourteenth Princess, it's clear this proposal was not adopted by the King in the end.
This makes sense because, to achieve filtration and blocking, the magical quality of the stigmata constructor must exceed that of the recipient.
In other words, if done by the old king, the Princess's upper limit would be locked at the Second Transformation.
Though vastly different from the current situation, firstly the old king is not a Mage, secondly, as a father, he cannot bear to personally add such an engraving on the Princess.
If Star Kindness Cardinal were to do it, it would mean entrusting everything of the Princess and the Royal Family's spokesperson to an outsider.
Even though the Royal Family has great trust in the Church, they would never make such a decision.
"Of course, I know this proposal has many unacceptable aspects, however..." Star Kindness Cardinal shifted his tone, his gaze burning, "If it's using Lady Saintess's magic power to construct the stigmata, I believe no matter the Princess or His Majesty the King would be able to accept it?"
The Seventh Prince was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "...Father has privately mentioned he originally planned to try engraving for Fourteenth Sister once I broke through to Pantheon-level.
"His Majesty's idea is good, as blood relatives have higher magic power compatibility, but..."
Star Kindness Cardinal nodded in agreement, that word 'but' made the Seventh Prince also sigh softly.
"Indeed, waiting for me to breakthrough to Pantheon-level would require too much time, but unexpectedly Lady Saintess is willing to find a way to heal Fourteenth Sister's illness."
He raised his head, looking at the Hero, the vigilance in his eyes dissolved, replaced by relief:
"Certainly, as Cardinal said, if it's you, both Father and I can be at ease."
Upon hearing this, the Hero also nodded, lightly flicking her fingers, and within seconds, a stigmata was constructed in mid-air.
"Princess sister, how do you feel about this?"
