Thena screams and rushes down the stairs.

The screams got quieter and quieter, and the invisible heat slowly faded.

Harnette stays still for a while, then slowly cools down the magical energy in her body.

“I’m afraid I’ll break my head. Whoa…”

Hannette gave a sharp look and looked around.

Not to mention the other family members, even the maids and maids were nowhere to be seen.

Anyone who had learned even a little about magic would have noticed the heat from before.

‘I shouldn’t use magic for something like this…’

Harnette has been learning magic since childhood and has not been noticed by anyone.

He secretly obtained a book related to magic and learned it on his own, and also tried to use magic in his room or bathroom.

If I had met and learned from a proper teacher, I would have reached a higher level, but the situation was not good, so I just tried my best.

‘Why are you talking so much about an ugly subject?’

Thena was her half-brother with half blood mixed with her.

In other words, he was only a child of a concubine and a blood relative with a difference in legitimacy.

However, since Hanette was being called a foolish young lady, the gap had to be narrowed at once.

‘I won’t listen. He’s stupid, so he doesn’t notice.’

He probably wouldn’t have even thought of using magic.

Magic was not easy to learn, and the perception that she was a foolish young lady was clearly established.

Wouldn’t it be thought that there was something wrong with the body suddenly, or that something unexpected had happened?

‘If I mess around with it one more time, I’ll burn it… no. I can’t do that.’

No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t kill half a blood relative.

Above all, he had to thoroughly conceal the fact that he had learned magic.

I didn’t want to be suspicious of my parents, and I still had plans to run away from here.

‘I should have been quiet.’

Harnette regretted it belatedly and clenched her fists.

It’s a shame because no one was there, and if anyone had seen it, all the plans would have gone to waste.

I’ve been enduring it for a long time and waiting for the right time, but can’t I control even a minor emotion?

‘I can stand cursing at me, but he…’

Harnette thinks of Zion and calms her troubled mind.

Zion was not worthy of criticism like himself.

It was only because of the name of an arranged marriage that he was unintentionally involved with himself.

‘Isn’t it okay to endure it whether or not you curse at him? But why did you leave?’

Hannette asks herself, but can’t bear to answer.

For him, Shion was only the one he promised to marry.

If he ran away later, it would end in a short-lived relationship, so why can’t he shake it off?

‘I wonder if you’ve heard the truth. It’s worth seeing what it looks like. His personality isn’t bad either.’

Hannette sighs reluctantly in agreement.

He probably wouldn’t have met anyone like Shion, no matter what noble he met.

Even if someone among the commoners had a similar personality, wouldn’t it be possible to think of Zion first?

“You can’t touch it on your own.”

Hannette lets out a blank laugh and slowly descends the stairs.

I couldn’t allow anyone.

Even though it was forced, it didn’t change the fact that she was her fiancé.

“Because he’s my fiancé, even if he curses at me, I have to do it. I cannot forgive what others do.”

The cathedral of the Kinesien Divine Church, the holy water manufacturing room.

The Kinesien Divine Church is located throughout the kingdom of Allain, and its purpose is to spread the kindness and holiness of the goddess.

The kingdom of Alain has been greatly helped by them for a long time, and is recognized as a religion and power by the first king, and they train paladins on a large scale.

After that, the Kinesien Divine Church expanded its influence, spread the teachings of the goddess to many people, and made a revolutionary contribution to subjugating the demons.

The holy law of the Kinesian Church was able to heal wounds and purify impure things, so it was contributing greatly to preserving the troops and subjugating the beasts.

‘It’s a bit big. The money is overflowing, so I can just spend it.’

Shion was walking inside the cathedral following the commander of the Holy Knights.

The cathedral located in the capital was bigger than he thought, and numerous paladins and nobles were coming and going.

Cathedrals and churches in other regions wouldn’t have this scale, but as they received a lot of funding, they would be comparable to most noble families.

‘Is the white apostle here?’

white apostle.

One of the Cardinals of the Kinesien Church and a member of the Setinos Quasar.

The cardinal was a post second only to the pope, and he was able to command superior sexual law.

Among them, the White Apostle had overwhelming skills, and rumors even spread that he could revive the dead.

‘There will be no meeting with other quasars.’

Cetinos Quasar.

It was a title given only to the knights who symbolized the kingdom of Alain, and those whose military power and achievements were supreme.

It consists of a total of five people, and the white apostle was one of them.

As knights under the direct command of the king, they were given the authority to command, so in case of an emergency, they were given the position of commander and were able to operate the forces of the kingdom of Alain.

‘I have to get the holy water before the white apostle leaves.’

Holy water could be created only when the holy law reached a certain level.

Of course, ordinary paladins couldn’t even touch it, and no matter how bad they were, they would have to become the commander of the Holy Knights.

The Pope was the head of the Kinesien Holy Order, but in fact it was close to an honorary position, so his skills could be inferior to those of the Cardinals.

‘The position is not very important. Being a white apostle is important.’

Shion knew about the secret the white apostle was hiding.

It was also related to the reason for leaving the cathedral, and it was also to achieve the true purpose.

That’s why I had to get the holy water from the white apostle in advance, and I had to convince them later to form an alliance.

‘The white apostle is not human. But he’s also human.’

Shion had contradictory thoughts, but did not completely deny them.

In this world, even that contradiction could become the truth.

This world also did not originally exist, but now it exists as another reality.

‘To obtain holy water through the proper process… this is the only way.’

Once the White Apostle leaves, he never returns to the Kinesian Holy Church.

Even if they met after he left, it wouldn’t make it easy for them to become holy water.

She had a purpose that had to be fulfilled, and she couldn’t waste her energy on useless things.

‘If I were the main character, it would have been a little more comfortable. I’ll make you holy water without paying anything.’

The white apostle recognizes the character of the protagonist and follows him.

At this time, Hanette also joins the protagonist, and other colleagues appear one after another.

As a result, the main character founded an order of knights with them, and wandered around the periphery to fight numerous monsters.

‘The main character is amazing.’

The main character at the time had excellent swordsmanship skills at a young age of 20.

In addition, he was able to handle the thunderbolt magic sword nailing, so most enemies were not even opponents.

Because his comrades with useful skills joined the Knights, and even the White Apostle and Hanette joined, he had no choice but to win in any battle.

‘I’m doing this because I’m not even half that way.’

Shion laughed at himself, but did not lament.

The hard work was done by the main character and the strong, and he was only in charge of the easy and convenient work.

If he could properly use Acid Rain, he would be able to lead a prosperous life, if not as well as the main character.

‘I did have some money left… but it’s quite a lot. It must have a value attached to it.’

Other cardinals could also make holy water, but wealthy nobles usually appointed white doctors.

It was a Setinos quasar appointed by the king, and he was the most talented and famous among the current cardinals.

Of course, on the surface, the price was the same, but in order to get the holy water first, they paid more.

‘I wish I had a lot of money. Someone is babbling like this.’

“Would you please wait a moment?”

The commander of the Holy Knights stopped in front of the door and asked for forgiveness.

Shion nodded and just watched quietly.

The commander of the Holy Knights humbly knocked on the door and opened it slowly.

“Cardinal Selena, you have a guest.”

“… let them in.”

“You can go in.”

When the commander of the Holy Knights moved away, Shion immediately went inside.

A table and two chairs were neatly placed in the room.

Across the street stood a woman in church robes.

“Nice to meet you. I am Enrithe Selena, who serves Goddess Kinesien and upholds her will.”

Enrithe Selenain, Cardinal of the Holy Order of Kinesien and Apostle of White, greeted with her own manner.

Platinum-colored hair that gently shines, bright yellow eyes that seem to be warm, and a cold and expressionless impression.

Shion, certain that it was her, respectfully bowed her head.

“This is Shion Regard.”

“I will ask you before preparing the holy water. Can you tell me what you will use the holy water for?”

“… I want to drink it myself and make myself clean.”

Shion showed serious eyes and told a lie mixed with the truth.

Holy water had the magical power of the holy law, so if you drank it, you could absorb the effect into your body.

However, it was less effective than the paladin’s direct treatment, and in fact, the holy water was only used in a symbolic sense.

“I will put the wishes of Zion Regard in holy water. Would you like to have a seat?”

Enritte pointed to the chair with a polite remark.

Shion sat down on a chair, conscious of the dishes on the table.

“Our Paladins have removed the impurities. Now I’m going to infuse my magic into it and turn it into holy water. Just keep an eye on it and make sure there are no problems.”

“All right.”

Upon hearing the answer, Enrite immediately placed both hands on the bowl.

Inside the golden bowl was plain-looking water.

‘Even if it’s annoying, it’s okay to check it yourself. It’s no use telling them later that they’ve been scammed.’

Shion swallows silence and looks down at only the bowl.

Golden magic was permeating into the bowl riding on Enrite’s hand.

Then, the surface of the water shook finely and began to retain a faint color.

‘To handle Acid Rain, you must have El Tesoicb’s magical power inside your body…’

In order to completely offset the erosion of Acid Rain’s magical power, there had to be an opposite magical power.

Since El Tesoicb was the opposite of Acid Rain, its magical power also works the same way.

That’s why, after drinking that holy water, he was able to counteract the erosion of the acid rain’s magical power.

‘The white apostle is a heroine… but also a demonic sword. The magic sword of light turned into a human.’
