This Time, To The Believed Path
Advance Orders

A month had passed since Telsia first appeared to the Emperor and told him of her plan to stop the Labyrinth.

After an in-depth discussion with the Emperor and the high nobles, the Emperor finally decided to share information regarding the existence of the magic labyrinth guards.

With Leana and Telsia's permission, the Emperor also opened up information about the whereabouts of a person who obtained a "vision" of the future only to the leaders of the country.

He also gave an invitation to the alliance and other countries to attend a large meeting in discussing the plan as well as about the magic labyrinth.

Therefore, now the Emperor was preoccupied with many letters coming from various directions to him.

Leana who has completed her task is welcome to return to Grandall until the big meeting day is held.

When he returns to Grandall, he plans to go to Alphiella and continue his plan report but Forde who knows his way of thinking immediately locks Leana in his arms so that he can rest longer.

Leana who could not move had no other choice but to rest until she slipped from Forde's tutelage.

But even after a few days, Forde did not remove his supervision from Leana.

With her teleportation device confiscated, Leana is forced to call Adde to Grandall to bring the Alphiella report documents.

Then one week before the big meeting began, the Solfilyan empire had opened its doors to the delegates who had arrived early.

At that very moment he called Leana and Forde to the palace and stayed until the day of the great meeting arrived.

"Mrs Leana, I'm coming to pick you up."

Leana who was being groomed by the maids immediately turned to the source of the voice. His eyes widened as he found a figure he hadn't seen in weeks at the door of his room.

His dashing figure wearing Grandall's knight uniform was standing in front of the door of his room.

"Mr Iscan!"

He got up and walked over to Iscan with a bright face.

Since the mission of conquest of the magic labyrinth, Grandall knights are usually given a break time in rotation with an agreed schedule.

In that time, Iscan's position as his personal knight was still replaced by Hardie.

"If you're here, does that mean you're my personal knight again?"

Iscan smiled. He put his right hand on his left chest and nodded.

"really so. The marquis asked me to take care of you as long as he is not beside you. It is an honor for me to serve you, Miss Leana."

Seeing how Iscan put on a resplendent face, it seemed like he was very happy to be able to return to his initial post.

"Good then. I also feel safe if you take care of me."

"Thank you, madam."

He felt grateful that Iscan could be by his side now, contrary to what happened in his first life.

Many people want people with loyalty like Iscan, but loyalty itself requires proof in order to be pulled out.

Proof that the people they serve are the ones who deserve that loyalty.

Leana is relieved that she has the qualifications to earn such loyalty.

“I heard Saintess has reached the palace yesterday.”

“Saintess..”.

Saintess, a saint figure who was given a special blessing from the creator.

Every time it appears, Saintess is given a different blessing, depending on the needs of the world.

Saintess appeared when Leana was 20 years old.

Its emergence is something that rarely happens in decades, the announcement of its emergence that spread throughout the world made a stir every country.

There was even a conflict from Saintess' home country with the holy city in fighting over the rights to Saintess' residence.

To avoid a monopoly of power, Saintess decided to stay in the holy city and chose to be in a neutral position.

Since Saintess was an important person who had almost the same standing as the king, unless she came to the holy city, there were hardly many people who could see the figure of Saintess herself.

He even heard the news that Saintess has a beautiful figure that can make everyone lose their words.

Of course since Leana had never met him in her first life, she was unable to prove the rumors.

"Mrs, are you planning to go out?"

Leana looked puzzled for a moment and then remembered the meaning of Iscan's words as she turned to her clothes.

"uh? Oh, aye. As usual, I'll take a walk around the park."

Unlike when he settled in the palace the first time, this time he had no direct business with the Emperor and now he who does not have much activity can only walk through the beautiful palace garden.

To be honest Leana had guessed that she would be bored if her activities this time repeated for the umpteenth time.

He prefers to go to Alphiella right now but with his teleportation device confiscated, he can do nothing.

Even asking Iscan for help could not be because after tolerating his careless attitude, Iscan preferred to be on Forde's side rather than defending Leana. And so is Adde.

Leana felt she would become frustrated from being too bored.

The two also walked down the long hallway to the palace garden.

The hallway he had originally thought was very far away had now become close because he felt too familiar with the place.

While walking, he occasionally looked out the window to enjoy the phenomenon of cloudless blue sky on that day.

"Are you Marchioness Leana Grandall?"

Leana slowly turned her body and found a beautiful girl smiling sweetly towards her.

The girl had light yellowish hair with her eyes the same color.

Her long eyelids and reddish cheeks added to her pretty face so no one would argue that they had just seen an angel.

Behind him were many people dressed as priests following his footsteps.

No mistake, he is…

"Greet me to you, Saintess Lumine."

Leana slightly bowed her body and gave her a greeting.

She clasped her dress a little rough due to panic.

Leana did not expect the holy country party to send Saintess to a large meeting so that she did not prepare herself to face the Sainteas.

Is it because they came because they wanted to uphold their participation? Or because of the news about the labyrinth guard.

Depending on their reaction later on, the saint country side could become an enemy to him.

Just as the guard of the magic labyrinth could be mistaken as a faction of the demons.

Leana hoped that they would only consider Telsia the same as the owner of the magic tower. Because if they consider it more than that, then the creation of controversy they cannot avoid.

Telsia tells him that anything around the magic labyrinth will be overcome by her, but Leana does not believe that her later problems with the temple can be overcome easily.

Saintess walked up to Leana and grabbed both of her hands.

"Marchioness, I've been looking forward to meeting you."

'Huh?'

If not for his hand that was being held, he might have already closed his eyes to block out that thousand sparkle smile.

He felt blind if he looked at him for too long.

Leana also felt sorry for the priests behind her who were shocked.

"Anu, Saintess…? What do you mean.. You want to meet me?"

The light that grew bigger from her smile made Leana a little worried.

"I hope you can take a moment for me."

Saintess attracts Leana. Her cheerful steps paid no heed to the calls of her followers as well as Iscan who chirped nonstop during their journey.

Saintess's steps stopped at the gazebo in the park and the two sat facing each other.

Leana glanced at Iscan who was on guard not far from her with a worried face. Not far from there, he got two shadows Alphiella was also watching him from a distance.

The servants came to prepare tea and sweet food for them.

Saintess turned to the priests who followed her.

"Please leave us a minute."

"But Saintess–!"

"It's something I have to tell the Marchioness only."

The priests came to a halt with a heavy tone of Saintess then looked at each other doubtfully. Not long after they nodded and left the two.

For a moment, the two fell silent without opening their voices. Leana continued to stare at her reflection on the surface of the tea.

He slowly glanced at Saintess who was still enjoying her tea. With hesitation, he opened his mouth.

"Saintess, the thing you need to tell me, is that what?"

Saintess placed the teacup gracefully and smiled at him. His eyes were on Leana.

“I have got the prophecy.”

“Nube?”

“True. The prophecy reads, ‘There will come one person who is given a second chance by the world and he will move the keys that cannot move’. Less is more like that.”

Leana blinked her eyes. He's still confused.

"Basically this Prophecy is secret and only high priests and Saintess can know it. But I just want to make sure."

In the care of his mind, he realized that Saintess' cheerful attitude made him think of Eclipse's attitude.

Does that mean the statement is serious?

He has to convince her.

“Confirm?”

“The person referred to in the prophecy is you. isn't it?”

Leana's speechless. The sound in the prophecy was indeed similar to his life, but it all happened because of the power of the magic labyrinth and not from the creator.

Moreover, the Emperor never said that the person who gets the 'vision' is himself.

How did Saintess know that?

"How did you know it was me?"

“As a Saintess I do have considerable holy power as Saintess in general but the point of my power is not there.”

Saintess grabbed his eyes. Showing his golden eyes that were increasingly glittering under the light.

He could even see how some of the light reflected off like the reflection of a crystal.

“My strength is how can I see clearly which is right and which is wrong. Therefore, I want to ascertain the truth regarding the 'vision'.”

Leana once read a fictional book about a girl who had the power to make right and wrong decisions.

The girl saw a sign above their heads. A green sign for right and a red sign for wrong.

This story was the one Riana had read in the modern world.

The Eye of Judgement. That is the name of this power.

But was the power that Saintess possessed the same as that story?

"Did you get the answer you wanted?"

Leana looked seriously at Saintess curiously.

"of course. I got it and was very satisfied with the result."

Saintess then rose from her place.

Leana wakes up but is soon stopped by Saintess.

"Marchiness, no, Mrs Leana. I have finished what I want to say. Our current meeting may be very short but let's meet again when the big meeting begins. I hope you can call me by my name."

Saintess gave a small blink to him then walked away leaving him followed by his followers.

In their departure, Leana did not miss the dislike views that the Saintess followers had given her.

He could have expected it and as long as they didn't try to hurt him, Leana had no reason to touch them.

After the Saintess figure completely disappeared, Iscan walked up to him and extended his hand.

"Mrs Leana, let's get going. The marquis has been waiting for you."

"All right."

Leana grabbed Iscan's hand and walked towards where Forde was.

He glanced at the gazebo for the last time and they repeated his conversation with Saintess.

He still did not understand the intent of Saintess telling him the Prophecy that should have been kept secret.

Leana still could not determine whether Saintess would be on his side or not.

Leana can only hope to meet them later, all these questions can be answered completely.
