Chapter 161: Myth Of Radiant Sun God (Part-1) (1/2)

Listening to Maya's introduction, Saintess also came forward to introduce herself as she held the staff in her right hand and genuflected before Maya.

”Nice to meet you. I am Maya vermilion, Pope of Radiant Sun God religion and former ruler of Radiant Empire”

Hearing that Maya nodded and looked at Saintess with curiosity.

She had been very curious since the time she had found out from Julis and Sara that there was another person with the same name as well as looked the same as her.

After returning from the southern part of Buraford Kingdom. She came to find out from Ellie, that Saintess Maya is currently staying in the capital city while hiding her identity.

Due to her own special circumstances and safety.

For Maya it's hard for her to think about the situation of Saintess from her perspective. Why will someone with so much influence and strength will try to hide herself? She also has the imperial family of the Radiant Empire to back her. It's really a hard question to answer. Even if that organization called Golden star cross has some influence and wants to control the continent, various forces of the continent from the dark.

'Right, didn't Kai also mention the golden star cross in his letter? Brother Jai also had to leave in a hurry to just deliver that thing called god origin. So, it's seems like we are also going to get involved with the matter of golden star cross and those powers who are part of it'

At this point of time, Maya is still not aware that Kai has already taken care of the main members of Golden star cross.

Saintess was also observing Maya with keen interest and wanted to know, why did she call her?

”Miss Saintess I have wanted to meet you for a long time and wanted to talk with you face to face”

”Is there anything Miss Maya wants to ask?”asked Saintess in a polite manner.

'This is quite awkward. I never would have thought that in my life I have to call someone by the same name as me and have the same physical appearance. It's almost like I am talking in front of a mirror. But I knows that she is a living beings and completely different from me'

”Saintess you don't have to be so formal and polite and You don't have to add a miss in front of my name. You can just call me Maya while I will call you Miss vermilion instead of calling you Saintess”said Maya with a bright gentle smile.

As she looked at the smile of Maya. Her awakening was stripped away to a large extent.

'We look similar but from inside completely different from each other, when was the last time I had smiled so brightly and wholeheartedly?'

Remember her childhood days, when she used to smile brightly like her.

Saintess Sighed

Everything changed on the day of the potential test. When it was found that I had been born with a heavenly Celestial body. A type of body which increases the speed of cultivation and enhances the quality of magic power beyond grade 10. Suddenly I was the center of everyone's attention and expectations. I was raised as the successor of Josif from the early stages of my life and in the process due to many circumstances I eventually became the pope of the Radiant Sun God Church. While Josif also had me take care of the Empire from an early age. So from an early stage I have to balance my time in taking care of both my duty as a pope as well as the Empress. Making sure they never conflict with each other and dedicating my life to help others and improve their life. Maybe that is the only thing which made me feel happy, seeing the bright smile on the faces of others.

Both of these roles kept me busy and didn't have time to interact with many people of lower rank.

Maybe that's also why Grafield was able to take advantage of opportunities and penetrate so much inside the Church. Rising in rank from an ordinary priest to the position of the most influential among the ten archbishop additional to that he had the Golden star cross organization backing him. If he had captured me back then maybe Church would have fallen into the hands of golden star cross by now'

”Miss vermillion, Miss vermilion can you hear me? Please reply”

Hearing Maya words Saintess came back to her senses.

”Hm....

”Sorry about that Maya. I just had my mind focused on something else. So what were we talking about?”

Hearing that Maya looked at the absent minded Saintess. She could see the worry and loneliness in her eyes.

'She must have faced many sad things in her life?'

”Miss vermilion like I was saying that our king is also currently involved and the golden star cross is also our enemy. So, you can trust us on this topic. We will help you take care of those cowards who only know to hide in the dark and don't dare to appear in light”
