The Capital, more prosperous than the Holy City, was destroyed by the ancient Royal City. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Lord Holy Snake, this country might have already fallen apart.

Yet even with the divine-like assistance of the Big Snake, countless perished in the Capital, and to this day, the scars remain unrepaired.

And all of this was wrought by those who call themselves True Saint Disciples, fanatics who worship the Dark Key.

Even the seldom-stricken Holy City, after the bustling and festive day of preparing for the Saintess selection, as the deep night falls, and citizens lie in bed, their hearts are filled not with contentment and anticipation.

But with an indescribable, inescapable, lingering deep unease.

Who will be next, they wonder?

They fearfully fret that their doors might be silently opened while they sleep, that the scythe of death might suddenly descend in their dreams, severing their throats.

The Divine Knowledge Saintess resigned in disgrace, disappearing without leaving any guidance; the Pope has also remained secluded, not appearing in public for a long time.

Everyone was surprised to find that suddenly, there was no one ahead to lead them.

Thus, the citizens could only rely on the daytime's noise and laughter, throwing themselves into welcoming the Saintess Candidates to mask their rising unease.

But it was at such a time that the mysterious girl appeared.

She resonated with the pure white Holy Sanctuary, prompting the long-absent Pope to personally greet her, and together with the Judgement Court, they almost uprooted the apprentices within the city...

And today, she single-handedly defeated the mysterious and terrifying Key of the Door, imprisoning it.

The vast conspiracy capable of causing the fall of the Capital, the monumental criminals that left the Kingdom's strong powerless, and calamities of this magnitude melted away like ice and snow before the girl who had been in the Holy City for less than a month.

The time had reached the latter half of the night, yet people still couldn't sort out the emotions roiling in their hearts: gratitude, shock, disbelief, fervor, relief... or perhaps all of them?

But regardless, the citizens gathered in the square all knew what they desired at that moment.

They wanted to see her, even if from afar.

They longed to hear her voice, even if just a short sentence.

They yearned to know more about her, to draw closer to her, even if by a negligible distance.

How did she see this city, and what impression did she hold of them?

What does she like, and what are her aspirations and ideals?

Why did she offer such salvation freely?

"Hero..."

Someone, unknown who, began to softly call.

Her profession, the identity recognized by the Kingdom, as a candidate's feature, perhaps this was also the source of her strength.

"Hero——"

Subsequently, the varied discussions gradually converged, the calls became a torrent:

"Hero!"

"Hero!!"

""Hero!!!""

The thunderous cheers swayed the moonlight.

Countless people gathered in the square raised their arms in jubilation, their voices echoing through the skies, all emotions and thoughts concentrated into this simple call.

Then, the call turned into a cheer, shaking the earth like thunder.

All because of that Emerald Eye girl, who walked out slowly, standing atop the steps before the Cathedral.

She was a bit puzzled, a bit troubled, a bit shocked, yet she watched the tens of thousands below with gentleness and tolerance, then gently raised her hand.

The fervent cries instantly fell silent, and the night quickly returned to tranquility.

"Good evening."

The girl's clear voice carried by the night wind rang softly in everyone's ears.

"The Pope's seat said I should say something to everyone... but I didn't do anything remarkable, nor did I undertake anything with a great resolve.

"If anything, it was merely a coincidental chance."

Her words were gentle and honest, yet many citizens wore urgent expressions, as if wanting to loudly tell her that it was not so.

"However, I'm very happy to be able to help everyone, and I'm also glad to see you could give me such a response."

In the pristine moonlight like frost and snow, the girl's gentle smile soothed the people's hearts incredibly.

"But it's already quite late, so please don't gather here any longer, perhaps first go home and rest well.

"Though I can't speak of any absolutes, if something unfortunate were to happen...

"——I will stand in front of you.

"So don't worry, and have a good dream.

"Goodnight."

The girl waved her hand with a gentle goodbye, like a girl next door, walked lightly, and vanished from everyone's sight.
