“Have you ever seen the Saintess in its completeness, Lady Heiress?”
“No.”
Artizea replied in surprise.
In her previous life, she heard several times about Saintess Olga’s heart.
The first that brought Saintess Olga’s heart back to the social world was the Marchioness of Camellia.
When the empress died and no one came to notice, she proudly hung the diamond around her neck.
After the disappearance of the Marchioness of Camellia, Saintess Olga’s heart fell into the hands of another nobleman. But it wasn’t long before he went bankrupt.
The curse of a couple who died unjustly was put on the jewel. Then, the price of diamonds soared even further.

However, as far as Artizea knows, Saintess Olga’s heart has never appeared again.
Anecdotes about history and miracles were attached to the statue.
Saintess Olga is a real person from 200 years ago. As she traveled throughout the empire, she performed sacraments.
After Olga died, her lover sculpted the statue of her himself.
It is said to have shed tears on the day the sculptor died.
The tears of the Saintess had the power of healing. It is said that the pilgrims who fell asleep in front of the statue were all younger, and all the sick were healed in several nearby villages.
Saintess Olga’s statue worked a miracle of healing in the years that followed.
But as the years passed, it cracked around the chest.
The large diamond was obtained by the Viscount which was said to have been cured by the sacred miracle and was put into the empty chest.

It is such a treasure.
If it had ever been circulated on the black market, a word would have come out as the Saintess Olga’s heart shook the social world.
However, there has never been a single line of rumors about the Saintess.
So, she vaguely thought it had broken as the Peschers were ruined.
‘Is she kept by the empress?’
Perhaps she disappeared when the palace of the empress was on fire.
Soon, Countess Martha pushed a handcart. The cart had a cloth-covered statue the size of a child.
When the fabric was taken off, a bluish stone figure emerged.
It could not be said that it was beautiful. It was not a work of an artist who had craved it in marble. This is because an ordinary man engraved the image of his lover on stone.

There were two long streaks of stains like tear marks on its face.
The empress handed over Saintess Olga’s heart to her attendant.
The attendant took the diamond from the necklace and put it on the statue.
The empress said.
“Lady Heiress of Rosan and future Grand Duchess of Evron, I will give you this statue as a wedding gift. Since I received Saintess Olga’s heart, it is only right to gift you the completed Saintess.”
Artizea bowed her head deeply to express gratitude.
The empress staggered and stood up from her place.
“I’m tired. You two go back now. Congratulations. You’ll be busy with preparations, so it’s okay, you don’t have to come again.”
“It’s a shame we took so much of your time. Rosan will withdraw.”

Artizea bowed to her.
The empress first left her audience room. Countess Martha approached and said.
“I will send what the Empress has given to the Evron Grand Duchy. Is that okay?”
“Yes, thank you, Countess Martha.”
“Then goodbye. Congratulations on your wedding.”
Artizea greeted her.
Then she crossed arms with Cedric and stepped out.
Cedric asked in a low voice.
“Are you okay, Tia? You look tired.”

“Yes, I’m a little tired, because I paid a lot of attention.”
“Did everything you want come true?”
Artizea pondered. She then concluded.
“Yes. I received all the answers I came for.”
The empress did not give an immediate positive answer. But it would be foolish to answer right away for something so important.
Artizea was not worried.
The empress’s heart was definitely inclined. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given the completed statue of Saintess Olga.
Her dead friend’s heirloom, in its imperfect condition, have until now been kept unknowingly in her own bedroom.
What did the empress think as she saw the loss of it’s heart every day before going to sleep? What else did she think about? Cedric sighed.

“By the way, you’re taking on a tremendous responsibility. Restoring the Peschers. We can cancel it now.”
“You noticed it.”
“If the offspring of the Peschers was alive, she wouldn’t have concealed the saint. I now understand why until now she closed the door of the Empress Palace and stayed quiet.”
The Empress still had something to protect.
“What do you want to do?”
“Is it a matter that I can decide?”
Artizea asked. Cedric asked back.
“This is what you started.Of course you have to decide, right?”
“How about you, Cedric? I can tell you which one is advantageous and which one is profitable, but in the end, it will be the Grand Duchy of Evron that will restore the Peschers.”

Cedric thought for a moment.
But the answer was decided from the beginning.
“I don’t want to turn away from the Pescher Viscounty. That’s not a good idea. I was originally thinking of looking for a descendant.”
