114 – Demon King’s Legacy #5

The Saintess said.

“Theo Gospel, that man is going to kill me.”

Naturally, Aira’s gaze turned to me.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Her black eyes felt as if they were asking, “Are you planning to kill the Saintess?” But this was unfair, I was being framed!

“Pardon my rudeness, but I’m going to kill the Saintess? What do you mean by that? We’re not even well acquainted!”

“Theo, let’s hear more.”

However, Aira’s words forced me to stop. I wanted to say more but I guessed it was better to remain silent for now.

The Saintess then softly chuckled, finding the situation quite funny.

“Ah, excuse me. They have the same name.”

“It can be misunderstood as the same person.”

Aira nodded in understanding. Only then was I able to grasp the direction and flow of this conversation.

Basically, the Saintess’ life was being threatened by a man with the same name as me. Then something came to mind.

Twenty years ago, when Saintess Priga was still a student, she had worked with a man named ‘Theo Gospel’ in the Adventure Club.

Maybe she was talking about that person?

“Please elaborate.”

At this time, Aira urged the Saintess to explain with interest. Saintess Priga took her golden cup and wet her lips with wine.

“It’s quite a long story.”

“Make it as brief as possible.”

“It was about 20 years ago, back when I was still an apprentice nun. It’s 22 years ago to be exact.”

... 22 years ago, how old was the Saintess!?

If she was an apprentice nun back then, she must have been in her early to mid teens. With that in mind, it would be safe to assume that she was currently in her mid thirties....

Tak-.

Saintess Priga then proceeded to tell a rather long story.

She came from a fallen aristocratic family and joined the church. As she excelled in magic and divinity, she was then selected as a scholar for Ark.

From which came someone that she could call as both a rival and a friend, and that was Theodorus Gospel.

It was said that Priga and Theodorus set an example for many with their outstanding skills and faith. They were even nicknamed as the Beacon of the Church.

“I didn’t really like the nickname. But he’s a very good man. I’ve never seen such a pure man like him even now....”

“So where is he now?”

“I want to find him too. But the day I lost my eyes in an accident 20 years ago, I lost my future with the light.”

An accident from 20 years ago...

Could it have something to do with the Hope Hall closing its doors, which happened 20 years ago? The Adventure Club was also abolished at that time.

Just as my interest was piqued, an amazing thing suddenly happened right in front of me.

Chureureuk-.

Blood began to flow from the Saintess’s blindfold. They were literally ‘blood tears’.

“Saintess, you are bleeding.”

I panicked and tried to take out a handkerchief, but Saintess Priga took out her own and casually wiped the blood off as if nothing happened.

“When I think back on that time, blood would often flow out like this. My body rejects it.”

Was that even possible!?

Aira then asked.

“You must have seen something terrible, didn’t you?”

“Yes. It was the first time I had seen something so terrifying and bizarre. Still, I got off better. I may have ended up losing both eyes, but Theodorus lost everything.”

“Heueung-.”

“He has changed since then. He had become a very different person. It must have severely affected his mental state. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wanted to kill me.”

“.......”
