Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 230.1
Immortal Army
After defeating the immortals of the temple, the only temple knight who had not been made immortal began to speak little by little, as if he had broken down.
“…It all comes down to the will of the Holy Maiden and His Royal Highness the King’s brother.”
He said that the Holy Maiden Alicia, who called herself “Licia,” lamented that demons had appeared in the kingdom because it was corrupt, and that to dispel the darkness of the kingdom and spread God’s salvation, Ervan, the “hero” who defeated the demons, needed to unite the country as the crown prince.
The intentions of the Theocracy of Fandora, where the main church of the Holy Church is located, are unclear, but the Holy Church of Cleydale seems to intend to make Licia the official [state religion recognized by the royal family] of the country by promoting her as a “Saint.”
…If she is really the “heroine” that the woman thinks she is, then there is a possibility that she could become one of the queens with the recommendation of the Holy Church.
The temple knight said that Holy Maiden Licia has not done anything. However, he said that he had only spoken out of concern for the future of the country, and had not incited them.
Whether the Church really believed her to be a Saint and recommended her as Queen for the sake of the country, or for the sake of the Church, her words caused some of the Temple Knights who had been involved with her to take action of their own accord.
But they were not the only ones moved by her words. The Temple Knights, who had tried to do something for the Saint but were unable to take any practical action, were approached by “King’s Younger Brother Amol,” who was on friendly terms with the Saint along with the Crown Prince.
[–Do you intend to become a warrior of God? –]… he asked.
“…You believed that?”
The knight who had been kneeling and looking down at me raised his head vigorously as I muttered.
“We believed in the Saint! Her words had power. She accepted us and showed us the path we should take. … We have certainly heard some “rumors” that are unbecoming of a Saint. But we believed in the Saint and accepted Her Highness’ “power”. Even if it meant gradually losing our minds, we knew that it would mean conveying God’s righteousness to the people, and we…”
The knight, who had been preaching about the Saint’s righteousness until then, suddenly trembled as he confessed his feelings to me, an outsider.
“… Was it really right?”
“…”
I wonder if his faith in God and his trust in the Saint were the same thing. His eyes, which had held a blind faith even when he was broken, began to lose their shine.
Even though the power of “immortality” did not fit with faith, they were intoxicated by the titles of Saint and King’s brother, and above all, the supernatural feeling of invincibility that comes with immortality, which is why they believed in their actions as if they were a test given by God.
However, their immortality was not invincible, and they had “doubts” that they were not apostles fighting for God, but simply immortals rebelling against providence, which shook the “power” that had made the Saint believe in them.
“See for yourself, confirm for yourself. Faith is not something that can be taught to others, right?”
“I see… that’s true”
He muttered, thinking about something as I dismissed him.
