Chapter 47: Declarations Work Better with Special Effects~ (2/2)

“The princess? How is that possible!””Wasn’t the royal family wiped out?””Didn’t the registrar say that we were on our way to become laborers? Why is the princess here all of a sudden?”

The confusion and shock plunged the refugees who had gone through scores of plights into uncertainty and panic.

“Silence! I vow on my name as the registrar of Tierra, Vanke Noreki that this is truly the princess of Tierra!” The registrar immediately stood out and stopped their discussion. “Her Highness’ speech isn’t done yet, so I beseech you to calm down!”

Leah spared a grateful nod toward the registrar, while the latter nodded back with an encouraging smile.

“I know that all of you are the citizens of our fallen country Tierra! Those evil invaders brought the cinders of war and strife into our kingdom, causing our country to fall, stealing our peaceful, tranquil and happy lives. They took everything!”

“We are no different! Stuck in the past, unable to face the harsh reality in front of our eyes, feeling desperate and unsure about the future, giving up in despair and stopping the struggle, thinking that it would be alright as long as we continue living…”

The refugees listened to the young princess’ words as they lowered their heads in grief, her words striking a chord in their hearts.

But then, her tone suddenly shifted, her voice becoming brighter as her eyes started to shine with hope.

“That was until, the god that we believed in responded to my prayers.”

All the refugees were confused by her statement.

The god that they had believed in? Wasn’t it the God of Games that the other churches said didn’t exist?

How could a god that doesn’t exist respond to your prayers?

“They said that no tomes had records of this god’s existence, that His divine order was too vague and coincided with other gods, that He didn’t help even when Tierra was on the verge of extinction… Many people have doubted the existence of the God of Games, to the point where you have thrown away your faith, haven’t you?” She didn’t rush to reply their questions, continuing on, “Because He didn’t help you while you were in your darkest days, because He didn’t respond to your prayers…”

Many of the refugees made an awkward expression at being pointed out.

It was true that a great majority of them had thrown away their faith after Tierra had fallen.

It was not a sin, but only a helpless choice made so that they could live on.

“But now, I can tell you with complete certainty…”

Leah’s firm and devoted voice rang true in each of the refugee’s ears through the harsh winds.

Xi Wei saw this entire scene unfold, and he seemed to glow even brighter.

“Interesting! How could I not help add some special effects…”

“The God of Games exists!”

As Leah declared these words like an anthem, a bright ray of light like the break of dawn shone through the flurry, shining onto the young girl like a spotlight on a stage. Neither the howling wind nor the raging snow could penetrate this area that was covered with light.

Her golden hair was further accentuated and shone like the sun in the halo of light as the snow around her melted instantly, green shoots sprouting through the bare and desolate ground around the carriage. Somehow, it seemed like spring had come in the harsh winter frost.

At this moment, the image of the young princess that looked holy and venerable as she was shrouded in light was deeply carved into the hearts of everyone present.
