Time passed and eight years passed.

As the character said, Llewen resisted by asserting her authority.

Because of her sudden rebellion over a period of two years, the high-ranking clergy who had tried to control her rebelled and tried to suppress her.

However, the result was that Llewen did not give in to this.

The paladins came forward and executed them, and Llewen was able to regain her proper authority as a saint.

But her life didn’t change much.

Studying etiquette, the history of the church, how to handle sacred power, etc. were still insufficient even though there were multiple bodies.

But her situation was completely different from before.

First, the priests who tried to pressure and discourage her were executed by the Paladin.

As a result, the pressure and coercion that bound her disappeared.

The Pope also said that it is good to know how to use basic divine powers, so that is all you need to do. If you do not want to do even that, you do not need to do it.

There was no one forcing me to do anything, and in fact, I got the freedom I wanted so much.

However, Llewen continued with her current schedule even though she had a few more bodies.

The biggest stress she felt about this schedule was the compulsion.

She was under great pressure as high-ranking priests used various excuses every day to discourage her.

Not now.

Since I had a goal and it was a necessary element in the process of reaching that goal, it did not feel like a burden at all.

Although it was still hard on my body, I did it because I wanted to.

Because she had the determination to persevere as long as she could reach her goal, she was able to persevere and eventually grew into a full-fledged saint.

The age at which she was thought to have become a full-fledged saint was 15, about three years later.

From then on, she began her career in earnest.

He healed people with the divine power he had been practicing and subdued strong demonic beasts or monsters.

Because her abilities lie not only in healing but also in power, she was able to deal with troublesome monsters.

From Llewen’s point of view, she just wanted to save one person.

Rather, her influence received deep support from many people.

His position within the church grew even greater than that of the Pope.

It was constantly being talked about in people’s mouths.

Five years passed and I turned 20.

Llewen has reached adulthood.

Her beauty, which had faded since she was young, has grown even more and has become noble and sacred.

Now that the word saint really suited her, she thought of that person every day.

‘… When will you show up?’

That day 8 years ago.

A person who makes a big difference in one’s life and can also be said to be a benefactor.

The reason she was active outside was to help those in need, but there was also a reason she wanted to reach the person she had been with eight years ago.

Since she has become such a worthy saint, please come and visit her.

But now it’s been 5 years since I started working properly.

There was not even a trace of his nose visible.

But Llewen believed he would come.

Because I know very well that you are not the type of person to break a promise carelessly.

Every night, I knelt down and prayed devoutly.

Even after three years of repeating that prayer, she did not stop praying.

I hoped he would come back someday.

Even after five years, he did not come to visit.

Lewen still felt like he wasn’t good enough, but he also worried that something might have happened to him.

Considering the helplessness he showed at age 12, the probability of that happening is low.

I don’t know what will happen to people’s work.

If something really happened, it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to endure it.

Because his presence was a benefactor who gave her a new life.

If it weren’t for him, it was clear that she would have lived the life of a puppet for the rest of her life.

Although it was a short meeting, she thought of him as someone more precious to Lewen than anyone else.

‘… But I can’t even find it… ‘

Thirteen years have already passed since I couldn’t see my face because I was wearing a mask.

In fact, it was impossible to find him, so there was no other way than to wait in vain.

Lewen had no choice but to wait even longer.

And so it was time to start again with an indefinite wait.

One day she heard that a hero had appeared.

Warrior.

It can be said that he is perhaps the most symbolic and important figure for the church.

The most important being in defeating the Demon King and the one that punishes the sinners of the church, the being that the Paladins blindly follow.

In fact, the position of a warrior had great authority just by being a warrior, without needing to expand one’s position.

Perhaps even more so than Llewen, who has gradually built up her position over the course of 13 years.

But Llewen wasn’t too worried.

This is because we know that although the characteristics of the warriors in the history of the church are quite different, at least they are recorded as infinitely good people.

It was unthinkable to her that such a hero would do anything with the authority he had.

But her expectations were spectacularly shattered.

The being with the warrior’s symbol literally acted viciously.

So much so that one wonders why the goddess chose such a being as her hero.

She truly wondered what was the difference between him and the demons who were only warriors on the outside but were so dark on the inside that they threatened humans.

That’s why I wanted to bring it down.

The reason for bringing down the hero includes his vicious and trashy behavior.

The biggest thing was that it was someone who denied the words of her precious benefactor.

-Saint. No matter how pessimistic and critical one may be, the fate of becoming a saint does not go to those who do not qualify. So be proud. No matter what anyone says, the saint is a person worthy of being called a saint.

According to him, warriors are also eligible.

A person who acts viciously, causes harm to others, and uses his authority for evil purposes is eligible.

In her view, the hero was the scum of the world, not even worthy of being called scum.

She couldn’t understand that such a person had the qualifications to be a hero.

That’s why Llewen hated him.

Because its mere existence makes the words of a precious benefactor wrong.

Llewen could not forgive the warrior who corrupted his words.

He pushed the hero even further.

Originally, it was impossible to bring down a hero.

At this point, he is the only one who can catch the Demon King.

This is because pulling him out, the hope of humanity, would actually bring humanity infinitely closer to extinction.

However, there were countless evil deeds that the hero had done for it to be questioned.

In the end, we were able to push the warrior further thanks to external cooperation.

But even so, it wasn’t easy.

It would take quite some time due to his status as a warrior and the fact that there were no attempts to bring him down in history, but Llewen did not give up.

In particular, because the warrior’s resistance was strong, it took a lot of time to completely bring him down.

It was quite hard work, mentally as well as physically, but Llewen didn’t mind.

‘Only death.’’

She only wanted the hero’s death.

The corruption of his words and the evil he committed against so many people.

An act of breaking the laws of heaven, etc.

Although she took a stance of saving people’s lives, she could not forgive the hero.

Although the hero’s resistance is rough, the situation can be said to be quite smooth for capturing the hero.

Lewen vowed that she would take him down and kill him.

***

Since then, time has passed again and a year has passed.

While the work to bring out the hero was in full swing, the Demon King’s army, which had occasionally caused trouble, began to move in earnest.

The demon king is resurrected, and other demons are also running rampant.

It was quite a troubling situation.

Because the hero who was supposed to defeat the demon king’s army was already a mess.

But her worries didn’t last long.

A group that suddenly appeared.

This is because the group called the Demon Slayers dealt with the Demon King’s army.

I had many questions about their appearance, but overall things were good.

No matter what the politics are, they dealt with demons who were a pain in the ass.

Naturally, many people welcomed their appearance, including Llewen.

In particular, Llewen could not stop her racing heart.

That’s because it seemed like he knew who the leader of the group called the Demon Slayers was.

There is no such thing as evidence.

No context is visible.

Nevertheless, Llewen thought that the person who created the group of demon slayers was the person who saved her 14 years ago.

Because her senses were screaming.

He said that the leader of the group called Demon Slayers was the person he had been looking for.

It’s just a feeling without any basis.

Llewen trusted her intuition.

Even if I say no, I have a strong feeling that it will be that way now.

She started looking into a group called the Demon Slayers.

Everything from how and where they operate to their internal affairs.

However, because it was a very closed and infrequent group, very little information could be obtained.

Nevertheless, Llewen was satisfied.

The information I was able to find said this.

-The leader of the group of demon slayers wears a mask.

That alone was enough to convince her that he was right.

If I wanted to, I wanted to go see him right away.

I didn’t know his location, but I wanted to find him somehow and ask why he didn’t come visit me.

However, Llewen did not do that.

Because I know that’s not what he wants to do.

I waited again with the thought that one day he would come to keep his promise.

It’s an endless wait.

He may or may not come, but as always, Lewen just waited, believing that he would come.

A few days passed like that.

Lewen, who came out at night to pray as usual, knelt down and began to pray.

Six years have already passed since she was like this.

Naturally, Llewen prayed for him to come to her in a place where no path was blocked.

I felt a presence approaching this place.

I hurriedly opened my eyes wondering if it was him.

The owner of the approaching presence was the complete opposite of what she thought.

“… ”

The person she hates the most in the world.

A villain with tendencies that are completely opposite to his status as a hero.

But strangely enough, Kariel with the hero’s emblem appeared.

Llewen, who was clearly in a bad mood, shot back sharply.

“Why am I here on a trash topic that should definitely be put in a corner?”

This was a place that no one had ever visited.

It was a special place within the church that only she knew.

However, Lewen felt deeply disillusioned that the person who came there was not the person she had been waiting for, but the person she hated the most.

Despite Llewen’s sharp words, the warrior laughed lightly.

“I didn’t know the saint was this emotional. I feel like he would kill me very brutally if he saw me. Who are you waiting for? From the looks of it, it seems to be a man”

“Don’t open your mouth, which is no different from a garbage dump. Because it can really kill you.”

His presence was nothing short of disgusting to Llewen.

Touching him is the same as touching her.

Lewen had the urge to rip that rotten mouth off right now.

However, the sad reality was that that was not possible now.

“Do you really think you can kill me? You probably don’t know that the fact that the task of dragging me down for so long is because Paladin supports me.”

Lewen bit her lip at those words.

As said, the Paladin was the biggest reason why it took so long to bring down the warrior.

Those who punish the sinners of the church support the warriors.

She was also quite difficult to touch.

So Lewen couldn’t understand even more.

Obviously, they shouldn’t have followed the hero.

What on earth is the reason for following the hero?

No matter how much tradition dictates that it is their duty to serve the warrior, the warrior has gone beyond that.

If so, isn’t it normal to block it?

Even if you think about it, the paladins have already stubbornly expressed their opinion that they will support and follow him.

There was no choice but to delay in pulling it down.

Lewen stood up.

Just breathing the same air as the warrior made me feel disgusted, so I tried to move.

“The saint knows well about fate.”

Suddenly the hero spoke.

Normally she would never respond to that, but the word fate made her stop in her tracks.

Because she was the one more entangled in fate than anyone else.

Lewen frowned and sighed.

“I know. Even if I want to know, I can’t.”

If you ask me who is probably the person in this world who is most entangled in fate.

Lewen can say that she is without hesitation.

The fate of becoming a saint befell her.

Because of this, he was semi-forcibly brought into the church.

How can one not know fate?

Llewen looked disgusted at the very act of talking to him, but deeply sympathized with the warrior’s question.

“That’s right. That’s amazing.

Normally, I would have thought it was sarcastic.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between her and the hero is not good, or even ruinous.

However, the smile of the warrior she saw for the first time was a smile more pure than anyone she had ever seen.

Why does he, who is clearly nothing but trash, make that face?

Lewen was so displeased that she vomited.

It caused damage to so many people.

Not only did it cause damage, but there were countless people who died as a result.

Could such a sinner have such a pure smile?

How on earth?

I ask myself questions, but I can’t find answers.

Because she doesn’t know either.

“I feel bad.”

So she spoke bluntly.

It feels so bad to see him smiling innocently, as if he is a good person, even though he is a criminal.

Naturally, I thought the hero would reply with a sly smile like usual.

“I’m sorry.”

Once again she received an unexpected answer.

This time too, I felt sincerity, not lies.

Lewen became even more angry at that sight.

“I will take you down and kill you. You committed many sins, and many people suffered or died because of them. To appease their souls with your life. I’m going to bring you down somehow.”

It was something that didn’t need to be said.

All I had to do was vent my anger and resolve to bring down the warrior once again.

Nevertheless, Lewen said so.

Even in actions that even I cannot understand.

Her mouth didn’t stop.

“So… A trash topic that only causes harm to others. Don’t make that face. Don’t act like a victim. Otherwise, I think I’ll really kill you.”

The warrior who heard those words smiled.

“As expected, the saint is still the same.”

“… ”

His appearance overlapped, even if only for a moment.

Although it seemed impossible, Llewen turned around to look away at the resemblance.
