After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

Because they have a certain degree of popularity and are in great need of protection.

In the slums where the basic rule is to "survive by one's own strength", people like this are indeed very rare.

Hawke, the older brother, was once a brave man.

With his parents dead and no one to rely on, he raised Adeline with the help of his huge physique.

Even in such a harsh environment as the slums, this man of strong character was not distorted in the slightest.

Adeline, on the other hand, looked up at her brother with great longing, which was clearly evident from her usual demeanor.

Even now, this will not change.

Therefore, they don't need protection.

Yes, no protection required...should be.

Hawke became a central figure among the young people in the slums because of his tall stature.

Because of this, he was targeted by the guards and was beaten half to death while protecting his sister.

"I have my own ideas and my own approach. That's all. I don't want anyone to interfere."

Murphy's fingers involuntarily moved towards her abdomen, but stopped when they were almost touching it.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after realizing it belatedly. After all, he didn't have any masochistic tendencies and certainly didn't want to suffer that pain again.

Closer to home, inflicting violence on slum dwellers is part of the Guards' daily life.

Even if residents stay in the slums honestly, they will be scolded by the guards. It can be said that this is an extension of the common scenery.

The guards had no regard for the law and only berated the slum dwellers for their own amusement.

Because there are definitely people who like to do this, and there are a lot of them.

After all, bullying the weak can even be said to be part of human nature.

"..."

Adeline lowered her eyes and stroked the old trumpet in her hand.

Yes, all of this, being inexplicably blamed by the guards, is actually just a daily routine.

However, it was a different story for Hawke and Adeline.

After that, their daily lives changed drastically.

The Guards had robbed Hawke of his bravery, and Adeline of her voice.

Now, Hawke can no longer get close to the conflict.

As for Adeline, the trumpet in her hand is her voice.

There is nothing unreasonable, and nothing equal; it is all part of the daily life of this world.

In this world, no one cares what happens to this brother and sister.

Even if their daily lives are taken away by the capriciousness of demons, even if they are treated like rags, people's daily lives remain unchanged, and the ordinary world continues to pass as usual.

What peace and joy!

The occurrence of such a thing under the soul equality advocated by the Goddess Church makes people feel even more distorted.

"Yeah, there's no need to worry about it. Didn't you introduce us to a place to live?"

Frodo also joined in.

For this, she finally managed to walk out of the moonless shadow.

Then, Murphy saw the dark circles under his pupils, which were a little swollen.

It is very clear now that the reason why Frodo hid herself was probably because she didn't want Murphy to see her eyes.

Is this what a woman’s heart is like?

Sure enough, it’s better to pretend not to see it.

Frodo seemed to be explaining something to Hawke and Adeline.

"Rather, even if Murphy is left alone, he will get hurt. Isn't it better to think of it as an illness or injury?"

Oh, this guy, I really hope she won’t say anything random just because someone is lying there unable to move.

Murphy's cheek twitched slightly.

But if it would bring comfort to Hawke and Adeline, he wouldn't say it.

Moreover, even if he was asked why he risked his life, he would not be able to answer.

How could I possibly say that?

Because I see the shadow of my family in you, I feel guilty for not saving you like I did before.

I still can’t say it.

Ah, my eyelids are a little heavy.

Sure enough, the injured body needs rest.

So, when Murphy saw that Frodo stopped talking, she just opened her mouth.

"Anyway, this is my current state. So, little sister Adeline, please don't go out. Stop working for now. I think even God would say the same thing to you—"

“—No, that’s not actually the case.”

That voice really needs to say sorry.

The sound came from the side of the open door.

There was a figure there.

In the moonlight, the outline of the shadow gradually emerged.

It was the figure of Lalge An, with a small body carrying a large wooden barrel and a slightly self-deprecating smile on his face.

You must be kidding! Murphy's mouth started moving uncontrollably before she could make any sound.

He understands.

There can only be one reason why An came here.

That is--

"There's a message from Saint Madia... On the night of the full moon, that is, today, the first target's beacon will be born."

——Bring disaster.

Chapter 46 Beginning

"There's a message from Saint Madia... On the night of the full moon, that is, today, the first target's beacon will be born."

Just as Lalge An had said, that night the beacon fire of the first target was lit.

The beacon fire seemed to be unusually bright, as if it had already anticipated that it would burn even brighter than before.

It began in the countryside south of the Kingdom of Leiden.

In that peaceful yet troubled land, a group of people who called themselves Heralds and peasants attacked the lord's house in order to fight for the liberation of Heraldry.

Although it was a sudden peasant rebellion, the direction and execution of the action were surprisingly well planned.

The lord's army was caught off guard by this surprise attack and was defeated.

After that, the lord did not gather his private army to fight, but abandoned his people and fled to the territory ruled by his relatives, showing complete failure.

So far, then, their rebellion has undoubtedly been successful.

But in the final analysis, it was just a peasant rebellion.

Although the raid was successful, if we engage the army head-on, the enemy will collapse on their own even without wielding weapons.

Everyone thinks so.

Yes, it was considered a minor rebellion from the beginning.

It was just a trivial and underestimated war.

However, what followed was known as the Great Rebellion of the Heralds, also known as the Evangelical Wars.

It became the beginning of a series of wars and history.

And now.

The beacon fire has just been raised.

-------------------------------------

Just one night later, the document was placed in front of Lalge An early the next morning.

In the private room on the second floor of the tavern that was about to collapse, which was used as the destination for the letter, Murphy, Frodo, and Ann turned their attention to the documents.

Even so, the document seemed to be encrypted, so it was better to listen carefully to what An said.

Then, to extract the key points from An's words, there is only one sentence: the rebellion was successful, and the beacon fires were raised high.

This report is to inform you of this.

When the sun just opened its eyes and shone on the earth, Murphy looked at the report in front of her, raised her eyebrows and muttered.

"The starting point is here. Oh, we've gone too far. The Kingdom Army is no pushover."

Just now, although Lalge An said that the report was delivered too quickly, it was very likely that the messenger got there first.

But there is no doubt that the rebellion should have succeeded.

At least that's how it was in the past.

Of course, the success of this matter is worth celebrating.

But if things go too smoothly, there will be problems.

Since the goal is to eliminate the Church of Heraldry, it is not surprising that the Kingdom of Leiden, which regards the Goddess Church as its state religion, would send out the kingdom army early.

Murphy asked the girl sitting on the big wooden barrel in front of her with doubts in her heart.

"That's not a problem, because some snakes also hate the goddess teaching this giant lion."

To that question, Lalge An simply replied calmly.

It can even be said that he is somewhat at ease.

The wild horses named "War" and "History" have begun to gallop forward.

But, she looked so out of place.

Whenever I think of her girlish appearance, this reaction seems even more incredible.

But, that's how it is.

There is a trend of thought that hates the Goddess Cult.

Murphy narrowed her eyes, caressed her mouth with her tongue, and fell into thought.

Indeed, as a church secretly supported by the Goddess, the Goddess Church has a certain influence not only on the Kingdom of Leiden, but also on the surrounding countries.

In addition to being an empire founded on religion, the Goddess Church now occasionally interferes in the politics of various countries.

In other words, that mouth was opened too wide.

The goddess doesn't care about this, as long as she can achieve her goal.

In fact, maybe, this was something she asked for on her own initiative, just to better achieve the goals she set.

But of course, not everyone is a devout follower of the Goddess.

On the contrary, there will be more people who use this identity to consolidate their status.

Especially among the upper classes, many people attach importance to religious beliefs passed down from generation to generation.

This situation is normal, and it can even be said to be an inevitable result.

It is not surprising, then, that some in political circles would wish the power of the Goddess Cult to be weakened to some extent.

In other words, the Evangelical War was not only spread by the power of the Heraldry Cult itself, but also by the wanton indulgence of those who had a vested interest in the Goddess Cult.

In any case, should we say that it is a grave sin or that the first bird to stick its head out will be shot at?

In short, it has nothing to do with me.
