A sense of guilt flashed across Aaron’s face as he recalled that time.

“I couldn’t see the little child in pain, so on the day that Dillian came, I purposely reaped the divine powers. To make the child feel a little more comfortable.”

It would have been nice if it ended there, but the Duke and Duchess did not stop.

“When I refused, they went to another priest and asked him to be baptized. It was really bad for Dillian.”

“How long have they been doing that?”

Aaron’s head turned downward at Ria’s trembling voice. As if he couldn’t raise his head.

“He has been coming here consistently from the age of five to ten.”

“Ha….”

An absurd sigh escaped Ria’s mouth.

“After the big accident, he didn’t come anymore.”

The big accident probably refers to Dillian’s curse that ate up his parents.

It was terrifying that he could only get out of the temple after his parents died.

“That is abuse. How could that be? To that little child…!”

Ria looked at it clearly in front of her eyes.

How Dillian deflected Harris’s divine power.

Even after seeing it, did the Duke and Duchess still take him to the temple?

“That’s right. It was abuse. And I am the bystander who failed to stop the abuse.”

Aaron bowed his head to apologize deeply, and Ria’s face grew redder.

‘The oracle is obvious, so why the hell are they still doing that?’

I couldn’t even argue with them because they were dead, so if they had been in front of me, no matter what their identity are, I would probably grab them by the collar already.

Frustrated, Ria drank the tea Aaron had given her.

However, the insides did not subside, her stomach just simmered.

‘You’ve been through something terrible for five years and you’re trying to come back here because of me? Really, you are….’

No matter how much memory you lose, the pain will still be the same.

Dillian, who tried to walk himself into pain, seemed like a fool.

What am I to you? Ria’s stomach churned.

“I understand His Grace’s hatred of the temple.”

Aaron’s expression wasn’t that different from Ria’s either.

‘It wasn’t because of a bad relationship with the temple.’

At least Aaron loves Dillian. Then or now

So I guess he can’t get away from that even after ten years have passed.

Unlike the bright greenhouse, the sunken atmosphere was heavy.

“Why are you telling me this?”

You don’t mean to make me fall from high blood pressure, right?

Ria had no idea why he was telling her about this important issue, not to Dillian.

“Exactly the year when Dillian turns 25, he meets Ria-nim, who is the only one who can suppress the curse.”

Conversely, the hotter the chest, the colder the head.

“So, are you saying that I am the Light? A child of destiny?”

“You don’t think so?”

Is that a talk? Ria could not hide her confusion and rambled.

“That’s too, too grand. I think that such a title should be given to the High Priest or the Saintess like Aina. Why me….”

If we only looked at the contents of the oracle, the person most suited to the light was Aina.

However, Aina could never break the curse of Dillian.

That’s what Ria knew better than anyone.

‘Is it really me…?’

Ria burst out laughing, saying that was ridiculous. Aaron smiled as he saw the corners of her trembling lips.

‘You are trying to deny it.’

To Aaron, although Ria didn’t fully understand herself, she seemed to have guessed that she herself wasn’t ordinary.

And the guess was correct.

Facefalmed, Ria sighed deeply.

Since she came to the capital, she expected that there would be something special to do. She was also determined to be deeply entwined.

But she didn’t know it would be like this.

‘The Light? The child of destiny, you say?’

It was grand, but it was beyond grand. It’s too much of a burden for her as a small citizen!

She wanted him to stop at this point, but Aaron’s meaningful smile grew even deeper.

Ria felt a chill in her spine.

“Ria-nim, do you know that? I have been waiting for Ria-nim for a very long time.”

Ria trembled at the strange nuance. Ria swallowed dry saliva and asked carefully.

“… Did you have an oracle for me?”

“Of course. Did I burden Ria-nim without any reason? I am not such a bad person.”

“Then why….”

Ria ripped off her hair, forgetting that she was in front of Aaron. In her mind, she wanted to run out and scream.

Aaron drank tea while watching Ria struggling.

Even if she was so confused, he believed that she would calm down soon.

As he predicted, Ria soon lifted her head, which had been nailed to the table.

“High Priest, I am really curious, was the oracle being overused?”

“No way. It is an oracle that has been passed down for a very long time.”

“How much…?”

“Would you believe it if the former high priest also waited for Ria-nim?”

How long did the former live?

Perhaps he would have lived 200 years like Aaron.

So even if the ages of the former and Aaron were combined, it would be at least 400 years….

Head was pounding, eyes were clouded.

“Am I the one with such a heavy duty?”

God is indifferent. What am I!

The one who is shameless and selfish is herself. But what does the Light mean?

“… What was the oracle that came down to me?”

In response to Ria’s half-liberated question, Aaron recites the oracle in a reverent voice.

“In the end of Roheim, in the cursed land, shall Light be born. When evil consumes the world, she will come through the Darkness and save you.”

‘Damn, I can’t even take this out.’

If the end of Roheim is Wilhelm, the cursed land is Teevee’s Forest.

And although it is not certain that Light is really born, she has a guess.

‘Isn’t it the divine power that swallowed up the whole mountain while I treated Teevee? Because Dillian said the Light had exploded.’

Too many of them fit right in to say no.

Even the Darkness obsessed with the situation where even Dillian’s oracle was intertwined.

There was no way to escape.

“Are you still saying no?”

“Don’t kill confirm* me. I’m having a hard time right now.”

*An expression that is usually used when someone wants to make sure of something.

Covered her face and moaned, Aaron’s laughter above her head could be heard.

You like it, huh? How can a man named High Priest enjoy the suffering of the poor Lamb?

‘Isn’t he disqualified to be a high priest?’

Either way, seeing the long-awaited savior, Aaron couldn’t hide his joy.

“Ria-nim, you have already found out about the existence of the oracle, how about you coming to the Great Temple….”

“Nope. There is no. Even if the world collapses, I hate it.”

Aaron’s shoulders drooped as the iron wall defense was erected before he could even finish his words.

At the first meeting, he was afraid that Ria would be burdensome, so he hid it, but he still couldn’t give up his regrets.

“Then how about you come here to chat from time to time?”

Ria let out a deep sigh at the voice that was so desperate.

‘What the hell am I even to this extent?’

Ria didn’t know, but to Aaron, she was like a mythical being, a fantasy like a unicorn.

The protagonist of the oracle, which has been passed down like a legend since childhood, appeared in front of him, and who wouldn’t be thrilled?

“I heard that Ria-nim likes flowers. I have always had a good eye for flowers. Don’t you think we would make a good conversation?”

Ria turned her eyes away from Aaron’s desperate struggle and glanced at the well-decorated greenhouse.

“It wouldn’t be bad, if we are going to talk in this greenhouse next time.”

It was not shown, but Ria almost screamed the moment she stepped into this greenhouse. Because it is such a beautiful greenhouse.

This was a dream world for her.

“Especially, the world’s candles are in full bloom. You are very skillful.”

The purple-colored world’s candles were famous for being difficult to grow.

This species is difficult to see in full bloom due to its tightly closed buds. The epitome of a sunfish that will die at any moment even if it is raised with divine power.

To make such a guy open its mouth, he was not someone with an ordinary skill.

“I also went through trial and error several times. If it is okay, can I tell you how to raise it?”

“Really? I would love to!”

Flowers bloomed around Aaron at Ria’s positive attitude for the first time.

“Then let’s move first.”

Ria’s eyes gleamed, accustomed to catching flowers flying to her cheeks.

“Yes!”

***

After talking with Aaron, I left the greenhouse with a brighter face.

“Are you going to see Nathan-nim? I will guide you.”

“Thank you.”

In my arms, as I had a heated discussion with Aaron, I received a seedling of the world’s candles as a gift.

‘I didn’t expect to meet a plant fanatic here.’

Aaron knew everything. The age of 200 years was not to be ignored. His vast knowledge brought me to my knees.

“If I have a chance next time, can I take a look at the greenhouse that Ria-nim decorated?”

“You, Aaron-nim? It is an honor for me.”

It was not a long conversation, but in the meantime, his likeability was skyrocketing, and even the title was changed.

If only Dillian allows it, I will have to formally invite him. Of course, before that, though, we need to clear out the cluttered greenhouse.

“Earlier, Nathan said he was going to see his friend, did he go to see Mikha?”

“Yes. Mikha-nim, as well as other divine creatures, will be there.”

“Another divine creature…?”

“There you are.”

Aaron, who smiled softly saying that he had found it just in time, pointed to a place.

As I moved my gaze along the fingertips, I saw cute birds like Nathan chirping and conversing. Aina was with them too.

Sera and Kanae were twinkling their eyes from a distance, looking at the talking birds and wondering if they were amusing.

“Ria!”

Aina recognized me first and waved her hand.

Then, the sharp eyes of the bird of prey turned to me at the same time.
