Elestia was currently sleeping after being treated by a high priest as Kiel was not allowed to be with her at the moment.
"She's fine. Nothing really serious about her injuries but I am curious about something. Where is her Spirit fairy?" The high priest asked after sensed that he cannot detect any spirit fairy around her while under treatment.
"What do you mean by that Priest Yulio?" Diego asked as they were the only two inside the room.
"Well as you already know, we priest are sensitive with spirit fairy. No matter how powerful a priest in terms of power, they still need to ask a permission for transferring a holy power into their master body especially a rare type like her spirit fairy" Priest Yulio said to Diego.
'I guess I need to hide this one....should I report to the pope?' High Priest Yulio was distracted by the fact that Elestia has a high aptitude of holy power and that helped so much in healing her injuries.
"...." Diego was distracted too because the fact that Her spirit fairy is missing at the moment. 'Did something more serious happened to her?' Both of them was silent for a moment until Clara get inside the treatment room with Prince Kiel following like a lost puppy behind her.
'She must have smacked some words into him' Diego said inside his mind.
"Is she okay?" High Priest Yulio explained about her treatment but did not say anything about the spirit fairy or the holy power of Elestia that could rival a saintess or maybe even more powerful because of her unbelievable mana. In this continent she might be the first to have a high mana for a person. Normal people should only have at least a hundred and for a special person can have around ten thousand but her exceeded hundred thousand. 'Did she trained her mana? But how?' High Priest Yulio might be focused on answering Clara question but his mind is somewhere else.
"Now tell me....di you know about the scars?" Clara asked Kiel when they were the only left inside the treatment room.
"I did...but how she get it....that...." Kiel could not say anything in return because all this time, He keep waiting for her to tell about it and that's why he never ask.
"For a person to get scarred to that point....Even the holy power cannot heal it....It's like a curse...." Clara remembered that in a book she once read out of curiosity that in fact any injuries can be healed by a holy power. Which means even if someone is on the verge of dying, they still can be saved but depends on how fast and powerful the aids come to them but if it a curse, it can never be cured. Why is it called a curse? The writer of the book said that it could be a punishment from their past life. Something like an atonement for their sin in the past.
"It should be cured after being treated by high priest...but it didn't. It's a relief that small cut instantously cured without any scar but still...." As a woman, Clara understand the burden of being pretty and untainted unmarried woman.
"Shit....." Clara suddenly felt a shiver through her spine. That one person who entrusted Elestia being to her currently watching everything.
"What happen?" Kiel asked Clara as she just shook her head and walked out of the room after reminding Kiel to take care of Elestia.
'I might lose my head this time....' Clara tremble while thinking of someone who really makes her curious of his relationship with Elestia.
"My lord, our investigation is confirmed. Elestia indeed bearing a curse" A man in a black cloak with a blank face mask covering his face reported his findings to the man in front of him. That man has a bloody red eyes and a long black hair. His tall muscular body is enough to intimidate a person.
"Continue watching her until the day arrived. She might be the only key to end this endless war" That man sighed and disappeared into thin air leaving the man in black cloak.
"Affirmative" That man said after bowing to his lord and disappeared to go back to where he supposed to be.
"Are you sure about it?" High Priest Yulio currently on the line with the pope. He told everything that he know to the pope.
"The clock of destiny is ticking slowly. The prophecy has started" High Priest Yulio was shocked by the Pope words but didn't question him back.
"Protect her. Don't tell anyone about this. She's might be the person that we needed but watch out for the black haired saintess. It's just a hunch but she might not as innocent as her face show. I am scared of the second prophecy" Even High Priest Yulio feel the worries in the Pope's word.
"I will" Priest Yulio know the second prophecy. It's a hint for a destruction. The prophecy was received by the former pope and the current pope. It linked with each other.
[She will return with a curse. On her back, there's a thousand swords of regret and chased down by a nightmare but she will become stronger and shine in the midst of darkness, endless night. She is the light for people and demonkin]
[She will arrived. Her arrival will be greatly received. Underneath the innocence she spead another life will be sacrificed. A being that will bring the light fall into eternal darkness. Embodiedment of the Devil and the vessel of Ashura]
