So it's the fourth day and I am watching the broadcast from the ball. The participants had already hunted many wild animals. I can see the barracks that they set up on the other side are already loaded with them. It looked gruesome because of the blood everywhere, but I believe it didn't smell bad because somewhat they were covered in snow. Let's say, the area is a natural refrigerator.
I ran the mana stone over the ball. "Knights of Melenheim."
In a flash, the scene changes, and there I saw my two strong and talented knights. All in one piece. Seeing them without any scratches relieved me. Else, I would be guilty of sending them out there. Yet, my heart sank when I saw the pile of dead beasts in front of them. I automatically changed my thought. I wished I could stab them.
"Ha-ha!" my mouth trembled while laughing. My face was almost distorted because of the dismay. "So, they did not hunt for wild animals. They looked for beasts?!"
Beasts have the highest point count, next to the white fox.
If I hadn't stopped myself, I might have thrown the ball already.
"Oh, this is making me crazy!" I already knew that our duchy's knights were the strongest next to the kingdom's Templar Knights. That's the reason why I insisted on only sending the two of them. It was my mistake, I underestimated them.
My eyes flew back to the ball again, it made me even mad. Those two were laughing! I can see how proud they were.
"These two idiots!" just wait. "Wait until you return and you'll receive a beating from me!" I clenched my hands into fists, punching the air in front of me.
"Ahm... my lady?"
My gaze flew at the one who talked from the entrance, it was Maya. She gasped, surprised at my look, even trembling. Unsure whether to come near me.
"Yes?" I said in an annoyed tone.
"A letter arrived--"
"Who is it from?" I did not even let her finish.
"It is from the temple."
"The temple?" What does the temple want from a lady of nobility? "Let's see." I then sat down and waited for her to hand me the letter.
When I read the first part of the letter, I calmed down a bit. Only to be mad again.
[What is this?!] They were asking me to participate in a test. And it's not just any other test, it was a test to find the new saint!
Well, when I first heard about the prophecy I assumed it would be the same as the novels that I've read. That a saint would just automatically appear out of nowhere. For example, he or she would fall down from the sky covered in light or maybe someone that floats on water. I never thought it would be like this.
It was stated in the letter that a new saint would have black hair, and yellow eyes, and should be someone that had just come of age. They also wrote that they have sent the same letter to all ladies and gentlemen in the kingdom that fits the description.
So that was it? The prophecy only mentioned that at this time they would have a new saint, but it was not an instant saint. They need to undergo searching and testing first.
"Huh!" What a funny thing. Above all, I exactly fit the criteria. And since I am from the capital, which means I am the nearest to the temple, I needed to come right away once I received the letter for there are a lot that would be coming from the faraway lands and countryside to be tested.
"Cool!" I exclaimed. Then I hurriedly stood up. I was planning to head home, but it is as if this is my day today. Before I could even move a single step, I already saw a group of priests coming to me. I can see them from the open entrance of the tent.
Guess I cannot hide now. Well, let us get this over with! I took a deep breath and plastered a professional smile before I finally head out to meet them.
