No. 287
The people in the Great Chapel looked as if they had seen even a ghost.
The chairman was greatly flustered.
How dare you.
Something fake.
Regardless of the gossiping sound, I looked straight at Mina on the podium.
"Liar."
“……!”
Mina's gaze shakes thinly. As she squeezed her collar with her trembling hands, rushing Reginald supported Mina.
“Mina!”
“LeBlaine…… That kid...…”
Reginald looked at her whitened Mina and looked at me with his sharp eyes. Then he shouted at the paladins guarding the Great Chapel.
“Get out!”
The moment the Paladins were about to approach me, I twisted my mouth.
“For what reason.”
Reginald's expression was distorted at my words. I stretched out the crumpled hood with my fingertips and spoke with a gentle tone.
“Is there any reason why I, the Child of Fate, cannot come to the prayer meeting that has been open to the public?”
Then Reginald shouted like a seizure.
“Don’t criticize the daughter of God!”
"That's funny, Reginald."
"What?"
As Reginald frowned, the expressions of the priests surrounding the podium also became grim.
“Well, that, insane……!”
“Rather than being ashamed of trying to push the true daughter of God out of our view, are you even ruining the sacred place!”
I shrugged and said,
“Isn't it the Temple of Neriad that made me a daughter of God? What makes me a God-daughter who has made me as a Child of destiny and made me of today's me, who doesn't know anything?”
"What?!"
One of the priests shouted with a red-green expression.
“So we've asked for several validations to correct the mistake of proclaiming you as the daughter of God!”
“Yes! What is the reason why we have not been able to perform proper verification so far! Dubbleed and you have not conspired to strongly reject education and verification in the Temple since childhood.”
“We haven't been able to see the wicked energy that has recently flowed out of Dubbleed.”
“I would not have refused contact with the Temple for more than 10 years without knowing that I was not the Child of Fate in the first place!”
The Chapel was fluttering once more. Some agreed with the priests' words, and soon people started pointing their fingers at me.
"Liar!"
“The creepy girl who coveted the seat of the daughter of God!”
A ridicule floated in Reginald's mouth. Mina looked at me, supported by him.
I said without avoiding their gaze.
“Why is the Temple convinced me that I am not a child of fate?”
Reginald replied.
“Because God sent a child of true destiny.”
“Then what is my sin? What the hell did I do wrong, so should I have to point my finger?”
“I should have confessed to the Temple the moment I doubted my divinity. The moment you bore yourself for power, you became a sinner.”
I giggled and approached the podium.
Mina was desperate, and priests and paladins intercepted me. From the back of Reginald's hand, I remembered the startup.
“Don’t come. If I try to harm the daughter of God, I will not sit down.”
I stopped and stared straight at Mina.
"Mina."
“……”
“They say I'm fake because you're there, but you think so too?”
“……"
“They are sinners because I was shutting my mouth even though I doubted the divinity.
“……”
“Do you think you are the true child of fate?”
“……”
“Answer, Mina!”
My voice resonated in the tranquil grand chapel.
Mina, who was holding her collar rolled up with her whitened face, looked at me. The trembling of my eyes stopped.
After Mina swallowed her dry saliva, she slowly opened her mouth.
"Okay."
She stretched out her back where the kid was crouching and stared at me under the podium.
“There is only one child of destiny.”
“……”
“Only I can save this world!”
She was waiting for this word.
I shouted, pulling out my etwal, which I had been hiding so far.
“Aslan!"
Bang-!!
The Chapel shook with a huge roar. Those who were confused by the sound of the ringing of the wall looked around.
“Protect the Empress and the Prince!”
"Sire!"
The Imperial Army hurriedly surrounded Empress Yvonne, Prince Andre, and the Empress Dowager.
The Duke of Marshe, the Marquis of Shuhale, Confucius, the Duke of Grimoire, and other great nobles looked at me with stiff expressions.
At that moment, a dazzling pillar of light emerged.
Someone's shadow shook in the light.
Caught waving boldly.
Empire line dress swaying like a wave breaking on the shoreline.
She covered her eyes with her white cloth and slowly began to walk towards me.
Whenever I stepped on the ground with bare feet, thick branches protruded from the ground. The branches soon began to grow green. It was an Elsa tree.
As soon as she approached me, a white cloth covering her eyes fell to the floor.
When I lifted my eyelids, beautiful golden eyes that seemed to gather the sun were revealed.
She is completely different from the courageous figure in Aslan's legend, but no one in the room doubts that she is Aslan.
Except for not taking over her armor, she was just like the demon, Amy, whom Mina called out.
Reginald's expression collapsed, and Mina closed her mouth with her trembling hand.
I said.
“Which one, you and I, really called Aslan?”
Me and Mina's eyes clashed in the air.
* * *
After LeBlaine left, the hall was confused as if bursting.
While the priests fluttered with people asking for the truth, Reginald took Mina away from the chapel as if running away.
Returning to the Holy See, Reginald took her Mina to her room. She was trembling like a Mina isometric tree.
"How…… How the hell is LeBlaine...…”
“Keep calm and listen.”
Mina caught Reginald, who was about to leave in a hurry.
“How did it go? How did LeBlaine have Gremory's passage, okay?”
“Mina-nim.”
“I'm anxious. I'm so anxious...…!”
“You tell me to shut up and listen to me-!!”
Reginald shouted sharply. As Mina squeezed her shoulders, he grabbed her by her shoulder with her grimly distorted face.
“You stupid girl, do you think you have a chance to appease you now?”
“Reginald-nim……”
“Answer as you ask.”
“……”
“Have you ever seen that girl have a golden etwal?”
“Oh, no.”
“In your previous life? You said you could see your previous life.”
“I haven't seen it.”
“Then what the hell is this about-!!”
Reginald ripped off his head and screamed.
“Fuck, damn……!”
Reginald, who stared at her with her frightened expression, as if tore and kill Mina, muttered in an overwhelmingly excited voice.
“I didn't choose a girl like this from the beginning. I should have caught the line of her first.”
“You said I was real. Holding a fake hand. In the space closest to God, those words...…"
"Really?"
Hot, with ridicule, Reginald stared at Mina with red, bloodshot eyes.
As he approached with an expression that seemed to be a demonic spirit, he shook Mina, staggered, and struck her back.
He pressed Mina's forehead with his fingertips, and he fiercely scratched her brain.
“Of those who know who you are, there is only one damn Pope who believes in the child of fate.”
“… Yeah?"
“A soul guided by God? Real destiny child? Don't be bullshit.”
“……”
“Do you still believe that God has only guided you to this world?”
“…… I beg your pardon?"
“There are thirteen souls led up to you from the world over there. The moment we connect with our world, the dead or those who have no regrets in the world over there come over to this place.”
“……”
Mina's eyes shook greatly.
“After the Empire was established on this land and the Neriad was established, twelve children have crossed the dimension so far, but none of them have 'Power'. That's why we made you.”
“……”
“I put you in a body that has been trusted to be the beginning and end!”
"Lie……”
Tears filled Mina's eyes. Mina gazed at Reginald without blinking her eyes, biting her lips tightly.
"No! I was chosen for this world…… Chosen…!”
She hesitated as Mina made the screaming shout. With her ears plugged, she said, “I am real. The fake is LeBlaine.” She muttered constantly.
Reginald pulled Mina's forearm grotesquely.
“Listen carefully. If you stay like this, you or me are over.”
“……”
“Do you think the Pope will protect you when you eventually turn out to be fake? No, what he longs for is God's beloved one.”
“A being that God loves?”
“The existence of a real trust. The Virgin is a person who should have been born by Ressette who received the trust. The being who has been given the mission of the beginning and the end of the world.”
“……”
“You have to push LeBlaine out and you have to be real.”
“…… How can I be real?”
Reginald whispered.
“It kills LeBlaine Dubbleed. It's the only way we can survive.”
“But she is my older sister. In our previous lives we were sisters……”
“Currently, the things you saw don't exist. How long will you look at the illusion.”
“……”
Mina, who had dried her face with her trembling hands, gasped and said.
“How can I do it……?”
“Go to the Duke of Grimoire.”
"Yeah?"
“Tell me that you are Ressette's daughter.”
“What is that……”
“The ancestors of Grimoire are the father of Ressette."
Mina's eyes shook finely.
"I beg your pardon?"
“The Duke of Grimoire is saying that Ressette and him half brothers and sisters!”
It won't be difficult to prove.
Grimoire resents Dubbleed for causing Ressette to death, so he won't believe their words, and Mina's body was originally from Ressette.
'It can be deceived.'
Unless the daughter of Ressette comes back alive.
