“Milady, wait here.”
Konny approached the priest on duty on Lara’s behalf and asked where the records of the saintesses were.
“Lithographic stone no. 6 through no. 22 are all records of the saintesses.”
“Thank you, priest.”
Konny returned and told Lara the location of the lithographic stones.
The Temple of Glory in Hautean had a vast site that was comparable to that of the royal palace. Only after a long walk could the two of them stand before the lithographic stone no. 6.
The huge lithographic stone was full of inscriptions.
“Whew, I’m going to lose my eyes while reading this.”
Konny, who followed Lara reading the records, grumbled with her lips pouting.
“Konny.”
“Yes?”
“Be on the lookout for someone. I will read the records.”
“Yes, milady!”
The sun was coming up in the distance. It was so early in the morning that there was no indication of a person being around.
Lara read and read the contents of the lithograph until sunrise. The same went for the next day and the day after that.
She didn’t even think about reading the records back when she posed as a fake saintess.
The corrupt temple that wanted power turned blind eyes to a fake saintess. And after they claimed her to be true, no one ever doubted her identity.
“The key to call God.”
Lara murmured in the carriage the day she returned from reading the contents of the final records.
A saintess was a messenger representing the voice of God, additionally, she was also a medium for calling God to the earth for humans.
And so, saintesses were always hunted by the demons.
It was an old relic so there was no way to know if it was accurate information. The contents were more like legends or tales, rather than records. Even though it was recorded in the temple, it seemed that even the priests did not believe it as it was.
“Anyway, it’s not me.”
“Pardon? Not what?”
“Nothing.”

Lara became more certain after reading the records.
How could she represent the voice of God when she had never even met him. Lara was not a saintess. There was no way she was one.
If the existence who chose her was an absolute ruler of the world, he would be a demon, not God.
After their conversation at dawn, which remained as burdens to both sides, Lara did not visit Demian for a while. After she stopped going to him, the two rarely met despite living in the same house.
Throughout both of her lives, it was the first time where she could not understand someone to this extent. To Lara, sometimes Demian felt so strange that he did not feel like the Demian Rhode Drake that she used to know.
While deliberately keeping a distance to organize her thoughts, a party invitation reached Lara.
It was from Eunice.
“Goodbye summer party?”
Lara was about to write a reply saying that she would attend the party without even reading the invitation.
But Konny, who opened the invitation card instead of Lara, tilted her head and said.
“But it’s a partner party.”
“What?”
Lara took the invitation card from Konny’s hand and began to read it properly. The card was filled with Eunice’s cute, round handwriting.
But not the content.
[Dear daughter of Isadora, Lara
This summer was so long.
A season had already passed since we cleared up the misunderstandings about each other, and have thus developed a deep relationship with each other.
A summer such as this will never come again.
Though we will continue to make new memories in the future, my tender heart does not want to send off our first summer away. And so I would like to hold a small goodbye party. I look forward to your attendance.]
The content was fine so far.
Lara, who finished reading the P.S. part at the back, made a groaning sound as she folded the invitation card.
“She’s driving me nuts… Should I decline?”
“Why? Is it a must to go with a man?”
“She said if I’m going to come alone, just don’t come.”
“Don’t go then.”
“Then she said that if I don’t come, it’s the end of our friendship.”
“What does she want you to do then?”
