The Archangel of Death - Chapter 208

208: Saint 208: Saint Chapter 208 “Heal him!” A cleric yelled at another while trying to hold a person down.

“It’s not working!” The other cleric replied.

“No matter what we do, it is not working!” Another cleric replied.

Eventually, the patient stopped moving.

He wasn’t dead but he would soon be.

All the clerics looked at each other in regret.

There was no way left to save the person in front of them.

“Oh!” The wife of the man standing nearby burst into tears seeing the condition of his soon to be dead husband.

“Please,” The little girl standing near them, probably the daughter of the duo, joined her hands in prayer but it wasn’t the gods she was praying to, “Please save my father, Your Highness.” The clerics looked at the girl in disappointment but they chose not to say anything.

It was true that the fifth price had saved a lot of people but now he was away at the academy.

After that, it was up to them and the gods to save these people.

They were very discontent seeing her pray to a person and not a god.

The girl kept praying and praying and when no answer was received and the father was almost dead, some clerics even scoffed.

Boom!!!

They all turned to the sound of the explosion and when they did, they saw a pillar of light emitting from the imperial palace.

Normal people couldn’t tell but divinity could be told, even if they couldn’t wield it and such clean divinity only belonged to gods, or so they were told.

Not long after, a shockwave passed throughout the capital and extended beyond it.

But that wasn’t all, as soon as the shockwave passed, the man, who was on the verge of dying, began to wake up.

It wasn’t just him, everyone in the temple began to wake up, healed from their ailments.

Even those who had lost their limbs were getting better, their limbs regenerating.

No one knew what was going on but all they did was one thing.

It was a miracle and it was happening from the imperial palace.

The entire capital rushed to the palace, and no one bothered to stop them.

The only place where they couldn’t go was inside the imperial palace but the silver knights allowed them to watch, watch what was going on.

“That’s a dangerous move,” Somewhere inside the palace, Rafael said.

“I know.

But as long as it pisses those bastards off, I’m lovely with it,” Zarden replied.

“But involving the public isn’t good.

Harvey will step up,” Rafael said.

“That would make Orion step up.

We both know what will happen then,” Zarden chuckled as he replied, thinking of the funny scene in his head.

“Let us just hope you are right,” Rafael said.

Outside the palace, the public was already informed of the ‘breakthrough’ of the fifth imperial prince, the third crown candidate, Adrian.

The public was ecstatic.

“NO!

It is not him!” Harvey tried to shout to the horde of the people but no one listened to him.

“Saint!

Saint!” Sounds of such a title began to come from the large crowd and then it began to spread.

“The next emperor!” Someone else shouted.

Harvey heard that his face became ugly and without thinking he brandished his sword as his mana began to spread around and he yelled, “I AM THE EMPEROR!!!” However, before he could bring his sword down, a stronger shockwave emitted from the pillar of light and struck everyone.

It did no damage but the mana around Harvey scurried away.

It wasn’t just him, the mana of everyone in the capital wasn’t willing to come out.

“It’s scared,” Lucius mumbled.

However, there was something else.

The mana in the world wasn’t just scared.

there was something else, something none of them could tell.

Almost as if a subject bowed to a higher power, that was what it was.

But none of them could be sure about it.

one thing was for sure, whatever was happening had never ever seen before and it was out of their feeble minds.

The sounds of saints and emperor again began to rise, this time higher than ever and all Harvey could do was watch.

He saw the pillar he had constructed crumble down in just an evening.

All his efforts to sit on the throne were going away in front of his own eyes.

“I said no!

He isn’t!

He’s a fraud.

A demon spawn!” Harvey began to yell and in doing so, he said something that should not have been said.

Because just as he did, his heart began to feel constricted and his eyes began to feel heavy.

He lost consciousness on the ground while Lucius just saw it happen.

Many heard him, but no one took it as a bad sign.

Well, they did take it as a bad sign but for Harvey.

After all, what kind of a father would call his son a demon?

“What have you become brother?” Lucius muttered as he picked Harvey up and took him inside the palace while the public still kept singing Adrian’s praises.

******** Fuck!

If I had known this would happen, I would have flown thousands of feet up in the sky.

[Shouldn’t have wasted time worrying about Alicia then] ‘Are you criticizing me now?’ I asked my lady friend.

[No] [That was sweet of you] [You never left her side despite the risk of blowing up] [I never knew you were so committed] ‘Now you know.’ [Yes] [Very good] [For a womanizer] ‘At least get your facts straight.’ If I was a womanizer, I would have gotten in bed with Rose or any other very soon.

I didn’t even when Laura practically threw herself at me and no actions of Sophien said she would wait for her to turn eighteen.

[Is that your defense?] ‘Can we focus on other things now?’ I asked.

[Sure] [Let’s deal with how the entire capital is calling you a saint] ‘Exactly!

What happened while I was out?’ I asked while waving my hand from one of the balconies of the imperial palace down below at the people who were calling me a saint and the next emperor.

Harvey must be in a poor state right now.

But that doesn’t mean I have forgotten about another one of his sons.

[Life happened] [It seems to have affected the people] ‘A bit too much I think,’ I replied.

I knew that life could bring changes but changes of this scale were not something I had on my mind.

Something else happened.

Something I failed to notice.

[No idea] Me neither.

I also had no idea what it was and what was happening.

But it does seem like whatever it was, had no side effects.

I figured it was Zarden since the people of the church were here but they were not arresting me.

Arrest a saint for making a deal with the devil when everyone saw the divinity practically leaking out of him.

Even the church wouldn’t be able to cover it under the goddess’s will.

However, they will strike.

I don’t know when and I don’t know how but they will and I need to be prepared for that.

I left the balcony with the speech that I was supposed to give.

I returned to my room and closed the door.

Now I just needed to wait.

He would be here soon.

I know I made a deal with Zarden but I didn’t know that was how he would keep it.

Involving the public.

Many nations, even the most powerful ones under the rules of the greatest tyrants of history fell to the rage of the public.

Of course, it also included mass slaughter and genocides in some cases, but I was sure it wouldn’t happen this time because the Silver Knights would be able to control Harvey and his factions.

[But do you think he would be able to still help you?] Allison asked.

She had a point.

Although Zarden had involved the public, that just showed that he had no real power over the church so he had to involve the public.

He wouldn’t be able to do anything against the church itself.

But, he raised an army against the church with this incident.

If anything was to happen, I would be the messiah of the public, the hero, their saint.

If anything happened to me, the enraged public would deny the church and with that, no matter how much power the church had, they wouldn’t be able to deal with the imperial family who would be forced to take actions against the church due to the people’s voice.

[Isn’t there a word for a person in your position?] ‘What can I say?

I have so many uses.’ The church does what I think it would, the imperial family would use that fact against the church.

I was a ‘pawn’ in every case.

Used by the imperial family against the church and used by the church to go against the imperial family.

That was my soon-to-be fate.

[Something tells me you’re not that tame] I simply smirked in response but said nothing.

After all, after this assimilation, I had a hidden card.

The door to my opened without a knock.

How rude.

“Grand Elder, surely you know how to knock,” I said.

“I do.

They don’t.” Zarden said.

“They?” I asked.

“Harvey opened his mouth in public,” Zarden said.

“What did he say?” I asked.

“Haa…” He sighed and looked at me, not knowing how to answer but that was enough for me to understand.

The forbidden secret of the imperial family.

The wife of the original crown prince, the demon princess of the demon empire.

My, Adrian’s, mother.
