Chapter 56 - Saintess (2/2)

Was she really transmigrated? But she doubted that people would be using Japanese in another world.

So where was she? An undiscovered place in the world? That really didn't exist at this age.

Sophia decided to just straight out ask.

”Where am I?”

”Your Holiness is currently in the Temple of Heaven. This sacred temple was built for Your Holiness while you were in your slumber. Please forgive us for this place is unbefitting of Your Holiness.”

”Why were you waiting for me to wake up? How long?”

”Your humble servants have been waiting for two decades, ever since Your Holiness used up all your magic to save this world. Your Holiness is the world's savior! We will wait forever just for Your Holiness to once again grace us with your presence!”

Sophia slightly frowned. This man was saying enough 'Your Holiness's to make her eardrums bleed.

”Stop calling me with 'Your Holiness'. It's annoying.”

”Yes. Whatever the Saintess orders. Your will is my command.”

”What is this world called?”

”This is the world of Sapphire, Saintess.”

Sophia froze.

She suddenly flashed back to an old memory she had with her husband.

'Hey, Rei.....why is this world named Earth? Who named it?'

'Haha, honey, why would you ask such a question?'

'I'm simply curious! Why didn't they chose a better name? Earth sounds so dull...'

'What would you have named it then?'

'I dunno...maybe after something beautiful instead?'

'Like?'

'Hmmm.....I've always loved the color of Sapphire. Maybe that would work. It sounds like a pretty cringy name though huh.'

'It's a beautiful name.'

'Liar. Don't let me name our children in the future.'

Sophia remembered that Rei had only chuckled in response before readily agreeing with her.

This world was called Sapphire?

Then, Rei...transported her consciousness into the VR game he was working on? No, were these memories even hers, or were they just implanted in her? How could he do this?

She suddenly felt a creeping feeling wash over her, as if she was being watched by some omniscient gaze. Was he watching her right now? Was she already dead in real life?

Sophia curled her hands into fists as she held herself back from glancing around. She stood still lost in her thoughts for few minutes before Leo hesitantly spoke up.

”Please excuse my interruption, Saintess. But your awakening has alerted the rules of nations all over the continent. I predict they will visit soon.”

Sophia stiffly nodded and took a deep breath. A determined light glinted in her eyes.

Whether or not she was in a VR game currently didn't matter. If Rei had really released his game then her kids should be playing as well.

”Get me a change of clothes, you can explain more after. I will prepare to meet these 'rulers'.” She ordered with a determined glare.

She would do anything she could to see her children again.

Even if that means becoming this so-called Saintess.
