After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

The movement that always maintained its dignity and beauty, and had never been broken, faltered for a moment.

The silver eyes narrowed slightly.

It's you, you are the person Murphy was talking about, right, the saint of the singing girls.

Filia's pupils gradually became smaller, and a fierce light flashed in the corners of her eyes.

Frodo took over Filia's words and spoke.

"I can't express in words what I think of that man. I must, yes, I must catch him with my own hands. But I don't have enough strength; I can't even catch his shadow."

Yeah, I see. Indeed, I wasn't lying.

When Filia thought that Frodo must have conveyed these words to Mordo sincerely, she could hardly hold back the smile on her face, as if she was watching a bad comedy.

However, this is enough to convey your emotions to the other person.

"...That's why we, despite all our shame, have come here to ask for your help, Lord Mordo. I hope you can lend us a hand."

Filia added these words while glancing at Ella.

After that moment of hesitation, there was no abnormality in the other party's movements and expressions.

He even nodded at Frodo's words as if it was natural, as if he resonated with them.

Is he really that good at pretending? Or maybe...

"Saint Ella, I'm sure you feel the same way. As a member of the Cathedral, such a great sinner is unforgivable."

While suppressing the rage on her cheeks, Filia raised her eyebrows and asked Ella a question that could only be answered with approval.

From the beginning, Ella was only a little shaken.

Perhaps, Murphy's longing for Ella is just unrequited love.

If that's the case, great.

If it's just unrequited love, then I can make a grand resolution on this land of Belphein.

Rather, it was a kind of happiness for Murphy.

Anyway, it is a love that cannot be realized, so the best medicine is to forget it as a huge tragedy.

There is nothing to worry about because after the tragedy, I will hold him tightly in my arms, comfort him and hug him until he forgets the memories of the past.

Finally, all the thoughts about the past are replaced by me.

Mordo followed Filia's words and opened his thick lips.

In front of the candidate for the Cathedral Saint, letting the other party know that you are a devout Cathedral believer will not be detrimental to your future.

So, Mordo preached exaggeratedly.

"If the great sinner is really in this city, I will hang him myself."

Frodo and Filia's cheeks couldn't help but twitch.

They did not speak out, nor did they express their attitude clearly.

But it was indeed unpleasant.

It's really unpleasant to have someone who comes from nowhere casually talk about things that belong to you.

Filia deliberately shifted her gaze away from Mordo, overlapping her gaze with Ella's.

In that case, since you feel the same way, you should agree.

Ella's movements, expressions, and the light in her pupils were no different from before.

Then, naturally, she smiled a gentle smile that was very saintly and spoke.

"Yes, of course—of course it's impossible to choose that stupid method."

Facing Ella who said this with an elegant smile, Filia smiled back at her while feeling her heart begin to beat violently.

Something inexplicable crawled up from her heels.

——Oh, I see. You are the same after all.

Deep in her heart, Filia seemed to hear something whispering.

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

"Yes, of course—of course it's impossible to choose that stupid method."

Ella's pale red lips opened as if chanting, and she spoke slowly.

There was undoubtedly a trace of kindness in her words.

However, hidden deep within those words, there seemed to be a twisted tone that seemed to be mocking the other party.

Even Ella herself didn't know why such words full of complicated emotions came out of her mouth.

But despite this, Ella still moved her lips as if she was happy.

"If we simply remove the criminal's head, it can't be considered punishment."

"That's right. We must let him live, let him live until the end, and then let him understand his own stupidity. That is the punishment he deserves."

"After he has completely atoned for his sins, then he will be granted redemption."

Then, Ella continued speaking smoothly as if she was reciting a line.

"Our God will redeem even sinners—of course, they must pay the necessary price."

The sound in the reception room sounded like singing.

That beautiful and lingering singing voice is one of the reasons why Ella is called a diva.

Ella slowly closed her lips, blinked, and turned her gaze to the person in front of her - Filia Reinhardt.

In response, Filia raised her lips slightly and revealed a dignified smile.

However, within that smile, there was always a feeling that was almost like a complaint, quietly emerging.

Ella said she could understand this.

After all, what he said was probably very different from what she expected to hear.

Then, what I just said would indeed make her mood worse.

Just now, Filia said that she and Murphy had a grudge.

She said that she came to the city called Belphein with Frodo Volgograd because she was chasing after Mephi.

Of course, let’s not talk about the truth for now.

But at least, the fact that Murphy, as an important member of the Church of Heraldry, captured the free city of Crossmaria has been known to the world.

In that case, they who may have been hurt by this incident will naturally feel resentment and take action persistently for it, and the seeds of desire for revenge in their hearts will gradually germinate.

Ella has a deep understanding of situations like this.

And it is not impossible that they would come all the way to Belphein in order to satisfy this resentment and obsession.

It is also a fact that human emotions can sometimes drive people forward by trampling over reason and common sense.

Because of this, even if we tell them clearly that forgiving sins and offering salvation are teachings from the Cathedral, I am afraid they will not be able to accept it frankly.

Then why should I waste my breath and say such things to them?

Thinking of this, Ella's lips trembled slightly, and she felt her blood circulating in her body with a slight heat.

I see. It seems I'm the one who's unhappy with their feelings for Murphy.

It doesn't matter if you hate Murphy, or if there's hostility, or prejudice, or discrimination, or even if you combine all of those things together, it doesn't matter.

No matter what, as long as the person holding Murphy's hand is himself, it is enough.

Even if the world leaves him, it will be fine as long as I hold his hand.

So, no matter who hates Murphy, it doesn’t matter.

But despite this, it still feels very unpleasant.

And Filia and Frodo, both of whom are from the upper class, have been chasing after Murphy without any hesitation, and even followed her to Belphein.

Ella was very dissatisfied with their persistence.

In Ella's view, there is no positive or negative in feelings. There are only benchmarks such as direction and strength.

It's just that people unconsciously and arbitrarily give feelings various names.

And the person in front of him, at least this girl named Filia, undoubtedly has feelings for Murphy as strong as an iron chain.

Because, when he was narrating Murphy's story, the rhythm of his words and the brilliance in his silver eyes were very eye-catching.

For Ella, this was extremely unpleasant.

Hostility or hatred is fine.

But if these thoughts are too strong, they can no longer be tolerated.

Suddenly, Ella realized that she seemed unable to accept the fact that Murphy had strong feelings for someone else.

Moreover, I had become so greedy without realizing it.

What a troublesome personality! Thinking of this, a self-deprecating smile naturally emerged in Ella's heart.

However, I must not show this feeling too explicitly now.

Because now, I am standing here as a candidate for the Saint of the Cathedral.

Although there was no wind in the reception room, Ella's white hair was swaying slightly.

"—Accepting the outstretched hand and offering salvation. This is the way the Cathedral exists."

Ella's cheeks trembled involuntarily. She looked at Filia and Frodo who were winking at each other and opened her lips again.

Ella couldn't help but feel that she must be very ugly for wanting to say this.

However, her throat finally made a sound.

"In the final analysis, you—and Murphy—are complete strangers. If you continue to harbor obsessions, your sins will only deepen."

——So, wouldn’t it be better to just choose to forget it peacefully?

In addition to the words she spoke, while expressing this meaning, Ella's eyes gently swept across the room.

And her words, expressions and posture were undoubtedly those of a saint.

From the perspective of others, this is undoubtedly a girl with a kind heart who declares her faith to everyone.

Even within that chest swirling with emotions, a feeling that could not be called sacred quietly opened its eyes.

Chapter 36: Rough Secret Meeting (3000)

—So, Murphy, apologize, please? 'Forgive me,' just say it to me.

The moment those words left her lips, Mattia was startled and felt her heart pounding.

What on earth was she talking about? This wavered in her heart.

But at the same time, Mattia still felt that what she had just said must have come from her own intentions.

These two complex emotions mixed together, making the throbbing heartbeat travel throughout the body.

Unconsciously, a hint of timidity slowly emerged in Mattia's eyes as she looked at Murphy.

What would he do? Would he smile in surprise or look at me with contempt?

When she thought of this, Mattia's heart beat faster and faster.

I don't want that, to be disliked by Murphy or anything like that, absolutely not.

However, Mattia had never even thought about such a thing until now.

——Who would think?

Mattia didn't have the time to let such boring things affect her feelings.

Mattia had indeed considered how she would be viewed as a saint.

But she never once considered how she would be viewed as an individual.

As a saint, Matthias only had the concept of individuality when she was young.

Therefore, such thoughts do not exist in Mattia.
