Chapter 369 - Jonato"s Queen
I was originally going to lump this chapter together with the next one, but I felt the chapter would be too long if I combined it, and I felt that separating the chapter there would be better, so I decided to split it. Therefore, this chapter will be quite short, but we will post another chapter about an hour later at around 10 pm.
Also, we received one new review after the last update. Thank you very much.
I gaze at a letter held in my hand, one that Vysis had sent to me.
Held in it were instructions to deactivate the function of the Sacred Eye.
The reason given———– It was apparently “to protect this world”.
Reading its contents once again, I pondered. Not long ago, the Sacred Eye unleashed a Holy Strike in Alion’s direction. Could that incident be related to this matter?
I, Alma Saintnocia———- was confused.
The Sacred Eye is, so to speak, the Guardian Deity of our country.
Since its activation, its function has never ceased.
What in the world is happening?
If asked whether I truly believe in what that G.o.ddess is saying———— No, I wouldn’t say that I do.
However, it’s also a fact that without the power of the G.o.ddess, we are unable to oppose the Root of All Evil.
While I wouldn’t say we’re completely devoted to their cause, our cooperation with the Sacred Alliance does not waver.
The interference of the G.o.ddess in Jonato is weaker compared to other countries.
For reasons I do not know of, her interference in this country seemed minimal.
Perhaps, that is thanks to the Sacred Eye, our Guardian Deity.
Well, at least, that’s what I think.
Therefore……
Even though Alion stands at the pinnacle of this continent, Jonato can still enjoy her freedom and peace.
That’s what I thought.
The Sacred Eye, so to speak, is essentially “myself”.
It’s an existence identical to oneself.
Therefore, the destruction——— or deactivation of the Sacred Eye is akin to her own heart stopping.
(………………….)
Jonato suffered significant damage in the recent great invasion.
While efforts were made to quickly restore our defenses, we aren’t fully prepared.
Now, Jonato doesn’t have our Four Revered Saints.
The Saintess, Curia, is miraculously showing signs of recovery but……
In that state of hers, would she be able to fight?
I feel dizzy.
Still, bracing myself———- I regained my composure.
I don’t know how far “it” extended in the lineage of our Saintnocia family throughout history.
However, it seems that Vysis underestimated the faith of the current Queen of Jonato.
For me, the “absolute being” isn’t the G.o.ddess, but the Sacred Eye.
Besides———— this unpleasant feeling crawling in my skin, akin to betrayal……
Within the Queen’s chamber, bathed in white light.
I leaned forward on my throne.
And then……
[Vy…… sis……]
Filled with hatred, with the sound of paper being crumpled, I crushed the letter I had reconfirmed with my hand.
[Don’t you mess with me……]
