==================

It can never contain more than two divinity.

This is because there is only one divinity that can be contained in a single soul.

Therefore, when a cult that worships a forgotten god attempts to accept the divinity of the Earth Mother, the entire body explodes in an overload called ‘divine collision’.

The same was true for Gaho.

In essence, protection is a divine power given by God.

Even though you worship a god, if you unreasonably accept the protection of another god, you will never be able to avoid a sacred conflict. Fearing this, the users of Divine Protection were most wary of apostate desires for new powers.

‘There must be only one soul that contains divinity, so why… . I knew that there was resistance to the Earth Mother’s divinity.’

Zeveline, who had stretched out her hand, froze.

If the protection of the forgotten god imprinted on Edanant’s soul was to be activated, they attempted to secretly reap the Earth Mother’s divinity. The reason why Zeveline recklessly tried to preside over the baptism ceremony was to hide Edenant’s identity from the bishops and inquisitors dispatched from the Holy Empire.

however,

Things took an unexpected turn.

He expressed his astonishment at the bizarre phenomenon.

As if to prove him, his brightly shining blue eyes trembled.

‘How can two souls exist in one body?’

A soul containing the divinity of a forgotten god.

A soul that embodies the divinity of Earthmother Gael.

They existed horizontally, as if two souls coexisted. It was an extreme state where a nova collision was narrowly avoided. Zeveline saw through it with the white dragon’s protection and screamed inwardly.

“Saint.”

“Yes? Ah, yes… .”

Edanant raised his head and opened his mouth.

Only then did Jeveline come to her senses, cut off her thoughts and answered.

“Is it over now?”

“No, I have to pour holy water last.”

Zeveline turned her head to see that a large crowd was watching and poured holy water from a small glass bottle onto Edanant’s head.

Contrary to expectations that were anxious and fearful of a nova collision, the Earth Mother’s nova did not cause any harm. Rather, it even scattered pure white brilliance as if to bless the holy sword user.

This cannot happen.

The divinity of the Earth Mother completely accepts the demons of the cult.

It must be a miracle given only to him.

The girl with flowing silver hair sighed and grabbed the rosary.

“With this, Prince Edanant officially became a believer of the Earth Mother.”

“I’m not particularly inspired… .”

This is an answer without even the slightest bit of faith.

In fact, Edanant viewed the baptism of the Earth Mother as being on the same level as circumcision.

Must do it.

If you don’t, you will be criticized by people around you.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t receive it, but you can’t help it because it’s pseudoscience.

Edanant, who received the baptism of the Earth Mother, which he had been putting off for so long, shrugged his shoulders solemnly.

“I am very disappointed with that answer. A saint who boasts flawless beauty baptized me.”

“That is indeed a reasonable statement.”

Edanant gave an expression of understanding.

And he politely expressed his gratitude to Jebeline, who officiated the baptism ceremony.

“I am so happy that the first saint of the Holy Empire baptized me. As a new believer of the Mother Earth, I will continue to repay the blessings bestowed upon her, little by little.”

“Ji, you’re just kidding me… !”

As he bowed his head with exaggerated rhetoric, the attention of numerous nobles was focused.

Jebeline blushed and argued with him.

As expected, you are amazing.

I never thought you would accurately detect my intentions.

Edanant burst into laughter.

‘Two souls in one body… . So there are two Princes Edanand? No, that would never happen. How on earth is this possible?’

I pondered over my questions while staring intently at Edanant, who was showing a mischievous expression.

But the question was not resolved.

Rather, it has only been amplified.

Maybe I saw it wrong?

Inadvertently, Zeveline began to doubt the white dragon’s protection.

While the saintess continued to have heavy doubts, the princesses who had been watching the scene approached. He must have inadvertently felt jealous as he was having a friendly conversation with Edanant.

He cast a wary eye on the saint, fearing that Edanant might be taken away by the Holy Empire.

* * *

Zeveline was the only one who saw through Edanant’s strange form.

Bishops and heresy inquisitors dispatched from the Holy Empire attended the baptism ceremony at Sophia Cathedral, but no one could detect Lee Hyeong.

The baptism was completed successfully.

Edenand von Hohenberg became a new believer.

The bishops who attended the scene would have reported that, so there would be no suspicion in the Holy Empire. Jeveline was greatly relieved that the Imperial Kingdom had passed safely.

“The cardinals will be convinced since the baptism was completed safely.”

“Yes, Lord Edanant is now a true believer of the Earth Mother!”

The bishops joked at Zebeline’s words.

It seemed as if the devout faith was greatly encouraged by the baptismal scene, which was filled with pure white divinity.

‘I hope nothing goes wrong with Prince Edanant… .’

What should I say first?

Why do you have two souls?

Are two servings served at once like a restaurant main dish?

Maybe it was because I had been thinking about Edanant for several days, but suddenly a silly joke instinctively popped out of my mind.

At that, Zeveline closed her eyes tightly.

It seemed like he felt ashamed that he had inadvertently thought of such a trivial joke.

“Why are you doing this, saint?”

“Wait… I got dust in my eyes.”

Even though the baptism ceremony, which I had been worried about, ended safely, my anxiety did not go away. Rather, even heavier worries weighed down the saint’s slender shoulders.

Edanant is a mine.

He was a cult who worshiped a forgotten god.

However, even though Zeveline was a saint who hated demons and cultists more than anyone else, she tolerated Edanant’s existence. They even went so far as to help him from behind for fear of his identity being discovered.

If the Holy Empire found out the truth, she would be excommunicated from her position as a saint. Also, despite her status as a saint, she would have been executed for colluding with the devil.

‘But if it’s to repay the favor… ‘I have to endure anything.’

Although he seemed reluctant, he smiled softly.

Although it was short, it seemed to bring back memories that were happier than ever.

* * *

The Baltaria imperial family announced that it would reward the knights who participated in the subjugation war through a strict public service award.

Titles and fiefdoms will be given.

Additionally, you will be given the honor of courageously defeating a cultist.

Knights would say that it is their natural duty to be loyal to the imperial family and empire. But deep down, he was hoping for a merciful reward from the imperial family. Because people are always faithful to their desires.

“It’s truly amazing that you were able to see through the identity of the demon. As expected, it’s the mascot of a saint’s party.”

“Ahem! I think I’m amazing too!”

As soon as noon came, Ludmila visited the villa.

Are you trying to tell me about your business?

Ludmilla seemed to have been right in her prediction, praising Lue’s performance greatly.

“I prepared 500 thick candies.”

“Deet.”

As Ludmila clapped her hands, the knights waiting outside brought sacks of barley. The rough-looking barley sack was filled with sweet thick candies.

The number was a whopping 500.

It must have been extremely heavy to bring it here.

Lue froze after witnessing the overwhelming amount of water. It seems that my mind stopped for a moment at the reward that far exceeded my expectations.

“No matter how young you are… . How do you reward thick candy?”

“No, of course the reward will be given separately. Candy is just disguise. You will manage the reward money.”

Ludmilla, concerned that the frivolous fairy might become wasteful, postponed paying the reward. The guardian secretly asked him to manage the reward money on his behalf.

How wise you are.

You can’t just leave hundreds of millions of dollars to a kid.

“The County of Hilidar, which opposes the County of Hohenberg, will be established. The County of Hilidar will be merged into the County of Hohenberg. And they are trying to incorporate part of the direct territories managed by the imperial family into the County of Hohenberg.”

“If it is the County of Hilidar… Isn’t Muju a communist territory?”

The Hilidar Count family led numerous reinforcements and participated in the clan war, but unfortunately, the family head and vassals all fell in battle. Since there was not even a collateral line to continue the family line, the County of Hilidar was reduced to a shameful family.

However, just because Muju Gongsan Mountain was not a useless wasteland.

Gold mines have existed for a long time.

It also gained a reputation as a rich granary with numerous special products.

How many nobles were interested in taking over such a valuable county of Hilidar? I predicted that the Baltarian imperial family would eventually swallow it up, but I never thought it would fall to the Hohenberg family… .

“The County of Hohenberg will be greatly expanded. Like the old Hohenberg family, which had a reputation as a family that contributed to the founding of the empire.”

“And your father will be elevated to the rank of marquess.”

When Ludmila shouted, she froze, just like Lue, who received the thick candy.

oh my god.

Does this mean that my bald father has become a great nobleman who rules over a vast territory?

The Marquis of Hohenberg.

It’s a name that’s so unfamiliar that it makes your whole body go into convulsions.

Aside from the imperial and ducal families representing the Baltarian Empire, isn’t he the highest ranked family? I don’t know if my weak-hearted father will be able to withstand the weight of the marquis’ title.

“Next time, please work hard for the imperial family and citizens. Maybe next time, an omnipotent commission may be given to the Hohenberg family.”

“Ah, yes… . I will work hard.”

“Good posture. To become a family worthy of the Valtaria imperial family, wouldn’t it be necessary to reach the rank of duke?”

“… … .”

What kind of plan is he planning?

I can clearly see his sinister intentions.

When I responded with some confusion, Ludmilla responded that she was satisfied.
