Everyone in the room appeared astonished. Just like the moment when Lady Gladys first saw her face and just like how all maids learn she is the missing daughter of the Vernons, their jaw almost fell slack after hearing what the doctor had uttered.
Only Estelle was clueless of what a stigmata is.
Granted, she grew up in the slums. She never heard of any religious terms nor does she ever cared for it. She only knew that there was a saint and that saintess had came down to protect their land from the evil beings. The saintess however sacrificed herself and died; with her soul going back to the sky where she would protect to those humans who prays for her. When she had heard of the story, Elle only felt bad for the saintess as even though she owed the humans nothing, she had to sacrifice her life to protect them.
