Flashbacks

"1000 gold!" Lily shouted, right away,

"E-EHHH?!!??"Everyone in the auction room was shocked until their eyes almost popped out.Even Ian was very surprised and looked at Lily as if he could not believe that Lily was bidding on the item at a high price,

"Why are you auctioning that thing so high?" Ian asked nervously at Lily, though,

"Color.it's very special" Lily was very serious with her words, even her eyes twinkled with twinkle so happy, she said,

'That's not wrong anymore... Smartphones!!'

Episode 28's

"Thank you so much Miss!", Lily and Ian went home after getting the item Lily wanted,

/In Everon mansion/

"Do you understand how that thing works?" Ian asked Lily who was busy with the item,

"Of course, it's very easy" Lily pressed a button on the right side of the item called the smartphone, and the item lit up, and it lit up,

"What's that?!" Ian was both shocked and amazed as a light shot out from a previously black glass,

"Don't be surprised, this is just in the process" Lily said as she stared at Ian flatly,

"Ah, alright" Ian began to try to calm down and focus on that thing(?),

"Lho's?why isn't there a battery??it's weird.The jam isn't there either, is there a diary here??" Lily muttered continuously while confused,

'Battery??Diary??.what is it?magic thing?or a holy power??' Ian thought hard but dumbly looked at the busy Lily,

"There!eh? Alexander's..Zergan Desta??..",

'No way..This saint..Zergan.my college friend who died 1 year before my death..' Lily broke out in a cold sweat while thinking about the real thing that happened and what made things mess up like this,

"Lilly?you okay?you look pale, are you sick?" Ian looked at Lily's pale face and broke out in cold sweat worriedly,

"N-it's okay, I'm fine." Lily stuttered, saying,

'No.. That Saint disappeared 50 years ago.but how long has that Saintess been here??'

"Well, how long has the disappeared Saint been in the empire?" ask Lily, please,

"Historically, he was only here for 3 months and then disappeared" Ian replied,

'Just 3 months?.wait it means 1 year in my world is equal to 50 years in this world? it was obvious by then that Zergan was already buried.What happened to him the same as me?.Where might he just disappear.Will he leave the will before leaving??' Lily thought too hard until her head was dizzy and heavy,

"Ugh.", UGH..",

"Lily, you better take a break first, don't think about unnecessary things",

"All right..",

"Servant, bring black tea and a dessert for Lily",

"Okay sir", the waiter went straight to the kitchen to bring tea and dessert as Ian requested,

"Lily, if you know anything, tell me right away, I'll help you" Ian said, reassuring Lily,

"Thank you Ian", Lily blushed a little because of Ian's behavior,

"Same as Lily" Ian replied,

Soon the waiter came with dessert and tea at Ian's orders, so Ian told him to leave him and Lily, both of them,

"Lily, drink it and eat the dessert first" said Ian,

"In a moment, I'll check this phone for a while" Lily replied while focusing on the smartphone she checked from,

"Alright if you force it" Ian thrust his hand holding the dessert ladle was intending to feed Lily,

"W-What are you doing?!" Lily was surprised and slightly evasive, as well as blushing redder than before,

"Of course feed you because you don't want to eat alone" Ian said plainly,

"I-I'll eat myself!" Lily immediately took the spoon that Ian was holding and ate the Dessert,

"you're so cute when you eat" Ian said as he looked at Lily warmly,

"Hush on!",

After finishing eating a dessert while arguing ria(?), Lily explained about the smartphone to Ian in detail and easily but Ian still did not understand, he said,

"So, this thing can help us solve some problems?",

"Really!do you want to find out about something?I'll find him with this phone",

"Well.dress bride wan-WAIT WHAT?!",

"Why are you surprised like that?",

"Why are you looking for that?",

"Of course, for my beautiful future wife, this must be the best dress that will be history",

"Dian!don't embarrass me!",

All day they spend time to find out more about the smartphone and its relationship with Saintess who disappeared, until night came and forced Ian to leave because there was still another job, so there was no other work,

"Sister, did you know about the mysterious Land of Malterra on the Continent?", Lily asked Lucas about the Land of Malterra that had been discussed with Vel and Bel, who had been talking to him,

"Of course, and I've been there" Lucas replied seriously and seemed confused,

"What?!how are things going there?!", Lily was so shocked that no one had been able to go there before,

"The ground was barren and dark, only the black sky was visible as far as the eye could see", Lucas grew serious with his words,

"How did you get there?", Lily was waiting for her sister's answer,

"of course..From the dream of tehe~", Lucas answered her with a sinless and shameless face,

"Breng brother*sek!",

A dove watches Lily and Lucas, who are busy with the smartphone, go to a tower far from the empire,and the tower was looming high on the arid and abandoned ground.A man wearing a long white robe covered his face to his feet, stood at the top of the tower while waiting for his pigeon, and he was,

"Who exactly is that girl? how does he know how the device works ?" the man spoke to the pigeon that perched in his hand,

"pft, how interesting, is she a witch?or Saintess?I'll keep an eye on her even longer", then the other pigeons go to the Raveldra Empire to watch over Lily,

For about 1 week, the Empire was horrendous about the rumor that Lily was a Saintess, even to the extent that the Empire heard the rumor, even though Lily was a Saintess,

"Lilly!!what exactly happened?!" Ken breaks down the front door of the Everon Family mansion only to meet Lily,

"Sister Ken?what's going on?" Lily panicked and was shocked as soon as Ken walked in without giving her any news first,

"The rumors that exist in the Empire at the moment!Are you a real Saintess?" ask Ken in a hurry, please,

"What does brother mean? of course not" Lily replied confusedly,

"The Priests of the Holy Temple and the Emperor will be coming soon! Get ready now" Ken told Lily to get ready,

"Have a good time" Lily went straight to her room and changed into Lolita's dress,

"Why are you dressing up so pretty?!" Lucas who had just come out of his room was stunned to see Lily and a tinge of red was visible on his cheek,

"Sister Ken said I should prepare to meet the priest of the holy temple and the emperor, of course I should dress up nicer!" lily left Lucas,

"Wait Lily!" Lucas catches up with Lily who goes to the front door,

"ah! it must be Lady Lily" The Priests and even His Majesty the Emperor had come right in front of the mansion's door,

"I greet the Emperor, May the Gods bless" Lucas, Ken, and Lily bowed in greeting the Emperor who had already come,

"Lift your heads" he said casually,

"God, Miss Lily you're so beautiful, I want to make you my son-in-law, hahahaha!" His Majesty joked but impressed an order,

"I still don't deserve Your Majesty" Lily replied hesitantly,

"It's okay, I'm just kidding. I heard that you are the successor to Saintess who disappeared 50 years ago, I came here to check her in person" His Majesty said seriously,

"I'm not your Saintess, I only use items from Saintess that are auctioned off" Lily explained,

"Actually, auctioning off Saintess's relics is illegal, but since the Lady has already found a way to use them, I will forgive the incident and wish to crown you Saintess,I have spoken to the priests of the Holy Temple and they have agreed, this is a great honor for you" His Majesty said without hesitation,

"I'm sorry, Sire, but Lily is a witch of the Everon Family after 100 years, if she's a Witch, can she be a Saintess?" Lucas won't let Lily who is a Family witch become a Saintess just like that,

"Ah, really I forgot about it too.So, what do you think of the priest?" His Majesty asked the temple priest who was beside him,

"It must be ascertained first Sire, if his magic power is less helpful then he will be raised to Saintess, but if his magic power is greater and much more helpful, then he can be considered a witch" explained the Reverend,

"What if both are balanced?" Ken started talking to Lucas, helping him,

"It could be that he is Miscess" said the temple priest seriously,

"Miscess?" The Emperor asked the Priest,

"It means a mixture of Sire, and if Lady is Miscess, it means that she has a mixed power between Magic and powerful Sacred Power, it is even possible to wipe out a continent in a matter of hours" obviously the Priestess is a bit goosebumps, though,

"Then, let's test another 3 days, prepare yourself Lady Lily" said His Majesty as he looked at Lily with confidence,

"I try my best" replied Lily,

'Ware..Can I control my magic and do it simultaneously by using it?'

Seriate...
