So I'm a sheep.

"Sasha, come here."

Summoned by the holy angel, the little girl walked forward somewhat dejectedly.

"Being diligent in official duties is a good thing, but one should also pay attention to one's own abilities."

Hey, the Celestial Realm is a great place for cultivation. Although I haven't been training deliberately these past few years, I've still gotten a lot stronger.

"Haven't you discovered it yet?"

Sasha blinked, and asked curiously, "Your Highness, what did you find?"

Hill didn't speak, but simply extended her slender finger and touched the little girl's heart.

Thump, thump, thump-thump-thump.

With each powerful heartbeat that resounded in her ears, Sasha's understanding of the essence of life deepened.

After twenty-seven heartbeats, the immense power hidden within the little girl's heart surged through her body like a tsunami.

The light of life spontaneously activates, devouring, assimilating, absorbing...

In a short while, the Light of Life once again surpassed the Light of the Stars, becoming the strongest power under Sasha's control.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

The little girl was both surprised and delighted: "When... oh, the time you repaired my heart?"

"Yes, I thought you would find out in two or three years, but I didn't expect you to stay in the same place for so long, Sasha."

Hill tapped the girl on the head and said, "Now that the department is on the right track, you should also work on improving yourself."

"I don't know much about miracles and the power of stars, but when it comes to understanding the essence of life, I am the best among the holy angels."

“You and Bavra are friends. If you encounter any difficulties in your practice of the Light of Life, you can ask me for advice through her.”

"Yes!"

............................................

"Minister Saliye, when did His Highness repair your heart?"

On the way back, Rodriguez asked the question that had been bothering him.

"shhhhhhhh"

Holding the back of her head, the little girl looked up and whistled, completely ignoring Rodriguez.

"Seriously? You're turning your back on your angels now that the crisis's over?"

Hearing the legion commander's slightly sarcastic words, Sasha finally lowered her hand.

"Upon closer reflection, it's not bad that my merits and demerits cancel each other out; at least no angels will be able to bring up my past mistakes in the future."

"How can merits and demerits cancel each other out?"

Rodriguez chuckled, "Such an important department definitely needs a probationary period. If you don't produce some results, you can't possibly stay in this position as an outsider minister forever, right?"

"Commander, that's not what I'm worried about."

"Oh?"

"Why did you push me into this pit when we have no grudge against each other?"

Sasha's expression turned serious: "I have no prior experience in independently managing a department of power. Suddenly being parachuted into the Ministry of Ideological and Educational Affairs to conduct pilot reforms? This is no joke!"

"There's a pretty good chance I'll have to go to Heimla Fortress."

"There's a pretty good chance I won't achieve anything and will end up being transferred away in a sorry state."

"There is only a very slim chance that I could make a name for myself like this and continue to serve as a minister in peace."

"Lord Rodriguez, are you trying to trick me?"

"Haha, so that explains why you seemed so resentful towards me."

The legion commander laughed: "Saliye, this is no nonsense. I believe in you, which is why I recommended you to His Highness Hill."

How do you know I can definitely do it?

The young girl smiled and said, "Your understanding of me is limited to public records, and at most a few reports from Commander Evelyn, right?"

.............................................

"It has nothing to do with those things."

Rodriguez shook his head and said solemnly, "Because you are Sally, this little thing is absolutely no problem for you."

"what?"

"Recommending other Seraphim might just be harming them."

"Therefore, I recommend an angel to Your Highness who is absolutely without fault."

"..."

Staring at the legion commander with a look of astonishment, the little girl asked incredulously, "Where do you get such confidence in me? To be honest, I was secretly relieved when I passed the test today."

"Haha, it's very simple."

"Because you are Saliye."

Volume 1: Chapter 366 Seeking Advice

With the funds secured and some restrictions amended, Natalia no longer has to worry about her brooch.

However, Sasha still couldn't get over the Legion Commander's answer that day.

"Vice Minister"

"exist!"

"You've known Lord Rodriguez for much longer than I have. What kind of angel do you think he is?"

"A legion commander who is loyal to the pantheon, possesses unfathomable strength, yet is extremely humble." The Seraphim gave him a high evaluation without hesitation.

"Hmm, besides these, have you heard about the legion commander harming his subordinates?"

"Harming subordinates?"

Natalia looked surprised: "Minister, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"As far as I know, Commander Rodriguez has a very high reputation in the VI Army and has never harmed any angel."

"Really."

The young girl crossed her arms and said, "But I always felt that he was the kind of boss who would smile and say 'I believe you,' and then kick his subordinates into a fire pit."

"..."

"Unfortunately, our department has no authority to conduct direct investigations into angels at the Legion Commander level."

"Indirect investigations are also not acceptable."

The girl waved her hand: "Phew, I feel much better after talking to you. It's okay now. I'll just keep my distance from him in the future."

Keep your distance?

Natalia's gaze instantly sharpened: "Minister, what did the Legion Commander do to you?"

"If you really encounter something, don't suffer in silence. All my comrades stand behind you!"

"No, no, no, it's just that I feel that the master has too high expectations of me, and I can't stand it." The little girl quickly cleared up the misunderstanding.

What kind of expectations?

Sasha's words only made Natalia more serious.

"Our department is the only one in the VI Army that is not directly under the command of the corps commander. What are his expectations of you, Minister?"

Uh, how did things suddenly get so complicated?

After enduring three hours of ideological education from the Seraph, the little girl was finally freed as the end-of-get off work bell rang.

...........................................

Hey, isn't that Sally?

Bavra, who came to the exchange counter to buy something for her demiplane, noticed a little girl who was deep in thought not far away.

"Hello~"

"Ah, Bavra!"

"What were you thinking about? You were so engrossed just now."

"I still have quite a few merit points. After exchanging them for some space crystals, I'm wondering what I should exchange them for next."

"Do you have a basic idea? How about I give you some pointers?" the Seraphim volunteered.

"Hmm, Bavra, do you know the most cost-effective way to spend 400,000 merit points?"

"You're going to spend all 400,000?"

The little girl nodded: "Yes, merit points are just a string of numbers if you don't use them; they only have meaning if you use them."

She'd definitely offer suggestions lightly at 30,000 or 40,000, she'd be more cautious around 100,000, but 400,000...

After a moment's hesitation, Pafra suggested to the little girl, "Saliye, if you really can't make up your mind, you can ask His Highness for advice."

"How could we trouble Your Highness with such a matter!"

Sasha's eyes widened immediately: "It's one thing for me to shamelessly bother Your Highness when I encounter difficulties in my cultivation, but how could I trouble her with such a small matter?"

"The matter of 400,000 meritorious service medals is no small matter."

Bafra said with a smile, "Besides, didn't His Highness say last time that when you encounter difficulties..."

"It's a time when you encounter difficulties in your spiritual practice!"

"And this is limited to difficulties encountered when cultivating the Light of Life!"

"Hey, when did you become so stubborn?"

Bavra was somewhat dismissive: "If you don't ask for advice when you should, you might not be able to ask for it when you finally want to later."

"His Highness personally promised to guide me! How could I be unable to get any guidance from him?"
