I Will Be The New Me
CHAPTRE 43

Night had arrived, Quinn waited for the atmosphere of the house to become quieter to be able to leave with a calm heart. Emily had been standing on the edge of her bed, "How was it outside? what's the safe situation?" ask Quinn.

"Yes, Your Majesty. No one goes around anymore."

"Good."

As quick as lightning Quinn helps dress Emily up and leaves unaccompanied by Finn. Now that Quinn was able to move agilely, the wounds on his own body had healed since last night.

"My recovery is like a superhuman," Quinn touched his arm that had returned as smooth as ever.

Until midnight even the temple of Santis is still filled with many humans, even tonight like the peak. Rows of chariots of nobles seem to be lined up neatly waiting their turn to be able to enter the temple area. "There's an examination, really? but for what?" Quinn poked his head out of the carriage he ordered, several Knights of the palace in their golden-white uniforms complete with his attributes were going around checking one by one the incoming carriage.

"Raiden?!"

Quinn widened his eyes in disbelief to see Raiden at the gate of the temple and checked every train that entered the temple area. "It's urgent. I gotta get down from here, they're getting close."

Quinn slipped out of the carriage back to back to get away from the gate. It was fortunate that Quinn wore a robe so that she could cover herself and take the secret path that only Finn and Christian knew. "Why is he here? what's the point of checking—" Quinn smiled, "Oh I already remember."

After arriving at the temple's backyard area, Quinn took off her hood and rested briefly under a tree to neutralize her heart rate. "Raiden anticipates and lets go of any nobles present at the temple and hears the Word of God, so when he needs another shield, he'll be in need, he could blame someone of them and end up fared the same as Baroness Viridescens."

"In the past, the Word mentioned the destruction of Ethereum. This might be very surprising for Raiden. But I don't think the temple will just spread the truth of the Word to keep the peace."

"Are you the man Mr Finn mentioned?"

Quinn smiled wryly, "Yes. This." he gave the letter that Finn wrote, to make the man let him into the temple.

That person was a temple insider ready to accept any request from Finn, so he was willing to help Quinn get into the temple and get exclusively the Word that the Great Priests had received.

"Let's show me the way."

"Thank you."

Quinn rewired the hood of her robe so that no one would recognize her. The atmosphere of the temple was very quiet, even the little priests who served the people alone were nowhere to be seen. "Everybody running a meeting?" ask Quinn.

"Yes, currently six Grand Priests with their representatives are holding a closed meeting to interpret every verse of God they receive."

Quinn was led into a secret room that was like a living room filled with paper scrolls. "Then, what would you give me if they hadn't finished their meeting?" Quinn received a scroll but he did not understand the words of the spy.

"In fact, as a whole it is clear, this time they only have to discuss one verse from the second Great Priestess that has not been solved."

Quinn read what was written in the scroll, it was the shortened Word of God.

..."ᏕᎬᏕᎬᎾᏒᎯᏁᎶ ᎽᎯᏁᎶ ᏢᎯᏝᎨᏁᎶ ᎠᎬᏦᎯᎿ ᎠᎬᏁᎶᎯᏁ ᏠᎯᏁᎿᏬᏁᎶ ᎬᎿᎻᎬᏒᎬᎯᏝ ᎯᏦᎯᏁ ᎷᎬᏁᎶᎻᎯᏁᏨᏬᏒᏦᎯᏁ ᏦᎬᏒᎯᏠᎯᎯᏁ"...

Such is the sound of the Word from each piece of verse received by the six Great Priests of Santis temple. "One who is closest to the Ethereal heart will destroy the kingdom. Hm, this Word sounds more intense than it used to be."

Not much different from what Quinn remembered from the past. The essence of the Word of God that came down this time was a prophecy about the destruction of the Kingdom which of course it will directly refer to Raiden who is the Crown Prince and Kaisen's successor.

Let me guess, the untranslated verse is 'King will die' and that's the reason for Ethereum's destruction because the next lead is Raiden. This was exactly the same as in the past, only the timing was faster.

"This only?" quinn asked trying to make sure that no change happened other than time.

"Yes, that is a summary of the passage that the Great Priests received."

"Can you give me a pen?"

"What do you want to do?" Quinn smiled coldly as he replied, "I've already given you the money to pay for this scroll. The rest is up to me, isn't it?"

"..."

Though hesitant, the man obeyed Quinn's orders.

The girl also took the initiative to change the contents of the Word of God to provoke another commotion. "Here, thank you for helping me."

"Why don't you come with Mr Finn?"

"She's busy, so I just came by the notification letter."

Quinn is actually sending Finn to Verenity to look for evidence and witnesses. Finn was a traveler, he had been exploring Ethereum the entire time before re-settling in Helldelune. It would be easier for people like him to reach out to information that ordinary people like Quinn would not have wide connections to.

Quinn stood up, "Hey, sir. I'll give you twice as much as you receive, but do what I ask."

"What should I do?"

"Tell people about the Word I've rewritten. Just make a big rumor about me."

Without a second thought, the man agreed to a tempting offer from Quinn. However, it was suddenly thought of Quinn's fate when the news was strong, even more so the enemies were the cunning nobles. "But, are you gonna be okay?" he asked while observing Quinn's calm face.

"I need to do it to lure someone. Do it anyway, the rumors won't last long because the Great Priests are translating the original verse."

"alright. I'll work on it according to your orders."

"Then I'll come back now."

"Do I need to take you?"

"No, I'll go alone."

That night Raiden kept the temple quiet. That's just an excuse, Raiden's goal is to find out the actual sound of God's Word. If it was about the palace family, as much as possible Raiden would have to pass the attention to the other party.

He receives an answer from Finn's spy because he is the only one who works as an information salesman. "Is this everything?" ask Raiden to make sure.

"That's it, Your Honor. The rest is just one more verse."

Raiden opened the scroll and read it there. One eyebrow raised along with one corner of his lips, "It's interesting."

The one written on the scroll is:

Other people who don't know might think, 'Why does God deal with one person?'s problems?' but for Raiden it was already quite easy to understand everything. Quinn possessed a powerful spirit power that could even be called a child of God. For Raiden who knows it, Quinn's spirit power can tear down the palace if the girl has fully mastered that power.

Therefore Raiden tried to be patient and wrest that power from Quinn when he had mastered a higher level so that when he seized later, Raiden did not need to bother to cultivate from the beginning. Raiden knew he would have a hard time raising that power himself if he were to seize it now that his body was not the right container to hold spirit power even though he had the ability to see.

The second quickest way besides killing and locking Quinn's power in the relic is to bring Quinn's heart and make a contractual attachment to the spirits by using blood on the heart. Raiden still has to kill Quinn.

And actually the way Raiden used that night was the second way. He needs a heart, but his holy necklace should not be left lying there.

The next morning the community began to talk about the Word of Quinn's remodel. The bad news was thrown into an uproar after Quinn who became his main topic.

the Helldelune community thought Quinn was an innocent cheerful child, he didn't even know how hard life was. Seeing her who always play around at every opportunity, made the public not believe that the innocent girl could bring destruction. Not to mention the Gods warned everyone that Quinn would kill his own uncle.

Vincent who spent time with a walk to enjoy the atmosphere Helldelune next morning became astonished. "Why do they look at me that way?" ask in the heart. All seemed to be staring at Vincent with pity and pity.

A nobleman who was also sitting in the city park and whispered what he heard from people. Vincent's eyes immediately turned red, "What?! not likely. It could be just a slanted news." Vincent still does not believe what he hears, though he does not deny that there is a side in him feeling confident Quinn is capable of doing so.

Savero also heard the word of the Gods that had spread and penetrated all corners of Helldelune. The news also did not escape the gossip of his colleagues. "Count Savero, did you really not hear it? this is shocking news."

"I won't believe anything until the Great Priest himself delivers it," lied if Savero claimed he wasn't nervous. Now that his heart was racing faster, thinking about the matter that would hit his daughter alone had already made his body cold hot.

"I don't think it's a hoax."

"Yes, I heard it too, you know. Count Savero, someone received the scroll and read it himself. That's why many believe this news. You know, right? The Word of God never lies. The Pastors become His representatives to convey what message He wants to hear to us."

"The president is also human. You guys don't get too caught up in baseless rumors, you're gonna lose."

Savero chose to leave rather than listen to the news about the Word of God. His destination was now turned into the home of his father, Bastien Lombardia. As long as Vincent is near Quinn, Savero won't be able to think calmly. She knew her brother's nature.

While Penelope who heard that from the waiter who was in charge of shopping this morning was immediately shocked. He locked himself in his room so that no one would see his joyous expression, "Quinn will kill Dad in what way? he'll probably be stamped as a killer after that. I will be freed from that cruel and light-handed father, then afterwards I can get rid of Quinn from Raiden's side. I'm the one who benefits the most here."

Penelope held onto her beating heart in delight at the fact that she would survive. Without knowing that Quinn was preparing death for him in a different way.

Quinn paid no heed to the strange gazes of the people passing by around her. He casually walked into the restaurant after having an appointment with someone. The person was a noble who registered himself to become one of the agents who sold soap products to the public.

To be honest he did not trust nobles, as most of them were fake people who only aimed for personal gain. However, it never hurts to see his partner. "I heard he's a young noble who's the same age as me, I hope he's not some brash delinquent who likes to cheat."

Fifteen minutes later someone came to his desk, "I'm sorry for my delay, Lady. There was a granny who had trouble carrying her groceries."

A blue-haired youth with lavender purple-colored eyes sat in front of Quinn's chair while smiling awkwardly. Her face? it must be an ordinary handsome. The people inside the restaurant were whispering busily again.

This guy has made an irresponsible impression...

Quinn smiled wryly, "It's okay. It should have been me who asked, is it alright for you to ask to meet here? people might misunderstand."

The young man shook his head leisurely, he looked indifferent and indifferent with the surroundings. "I thought I'd meet the Grand Duke, but you're the one representing."

"Can we just cut it short? there's a lot to discuss so we need to manage the time well um...what's your name?"

The young man gasped "Gosh, where is my politeness. Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Julien Bianchi, a Baron from South Helldelune." the young man put on his best smile after introducing himself.

"All right, Baron Bianchi. Thank you for helping my family promote our new product. Can I know— why you see me so? is there something on my face?"

The young man once again gasped in shock "Sorry, I am just stunned by your greatness in thinking about this business. No other noble cares more about the health of a small society as much as you do."

Quinn smiled, she remained humble and did not want to admit that it was the result of her thinking "You've misunderstood, Baron. This is a business developed by the Grand Duke, the idea also comes from him."

"Oh that? I heard some people say that the painting business of Grand Duke Lombardia was the idea of his granddaughter."

No one's gossiping about that. She knows something about me from where?

Quinn understood the signal given by Julien, the beautiful girl immediately asked the question to the point "Who are you? looks like you've been investigating me before we met."

Julien chuckles amusedly seeing Quinn suddenly being very alert. In his eyes he looked like a fierce cat who did not like to be touched. Julien nodded "Yes, I guess so. Before I offer to work with someone's business, don't I need to know what my partner is like?" said.

Quinn drank his hot chocolate drink, "The one you work with is my grandfather. It's strange that you know more about me. Now you better confess, right now I'm not going to get mad for getting a handsome 'secret fan' like you."

Julien chuckled at Quinn's new name, "That's a very good name, I'm flattered" said the handsome young man who already holds the status of Baron was pleased, "If you want to know, I'll say it. I'm close friends with Rupert, you're no stranger to his name, are you?"

"Friends? I think Mr. Rupert is friends with almost all nobles."

"Well, in essence, he said that you were very attractive. So I decided to get to know you more closely through this way. You don't mind, do you? this is the most polite way I can think of."

Quinn was silent not to reply to Julien's words. Today Quinn needs someone to help introduce her soap products to the small community so that they pay more attention to their health. Judging from his attitude and looks, Julien was not a scheming person who would abuse his trust.

"I'm honored to receive your attention. Can we talk about the business now?"

"Do you have a selling target that must be achieved within a day or within a certain period of time?" tanya Julien estimated how much she had to sell the product.

"If you look at the population, I think we need to sell more than two hundred bars of soap per day. So in one month we can reach almost the entire Helldelune community. But it's gonna be a little hard, isn't it?"

"Hm..." Julian nodded in understanding with Quinn's line of thought.

"For the first week it is better not to think about the target. As long as people are aware of their health and know about the price of this soap, in the future it will go according to fate."

"You have calculated a suitable way so that they do not hesitate to buy your product?" ask Julien again.

Quinn smiled sweetly and replied, "Just calm down. The person who made this soap is no ordinary person." Quinn got up from the chair after putting down her drink, "Have you seen the contract? please read it correctly so that there is no confusion."

Julien shook his head softly, "I don't need to read that, I'll sign it straight away. It can help you."

Another weirdo like Finn.

"Thank you for joining our business. Hope you and I can work together."
