I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero - I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero chapter 20

20 – Saint Nerah’s Regret (1) – Saint

“What do you mean? What happened?”

Raina asks Nera’s words again.

Seeing Laina like that, Nera let out a sigh at the expected reaction.

‘I didn’t know…’

In fact, it is said that the reason Alan passed her Champion’s Blessing to Raina was that she could use her Champion’s Blessing better.

And I can’t say that the reason was too wrong, but in fact, it wasn’t that reason that became the decisive moment.

There was one more definite trigger.

Of course, Nera knew that Raina didn’t know about it.

But even so, for Nera, this situation was too devastating.

‘I… I’ve been living my life…’

Raina can’t come to her senses at all.

Nera’s feelings at seeing Laina were quite devastating.

The reason why she can’t help but be so miserable.

She wonders why she regrets so much…

That was because Nera was also a woman like Raina.

Receiving power from something is said to be protection.

If you receive divine protection, you will be able to use your strength against it, and you will receive great love from that existence.

There are really many types of blessings, such as fire protection and water protection. Blessings of such attributes are common, and sometimes people with quite special blessings, such as the blessing of shadows, appear.

And if there is one that is known to be the most special among those blessings, it is the divine protection.

A divine protection that allows you to be loved by the gods and gain the ability to create miracles.

Of course, unlike the other protections, it was not an ordinary protection, and the church considered women with this protection very sacred.

That’s why a woman with divine protection is called a saint.

The saintess, Nera.

She is a woman blessed by God, a saint born after 100 years.

Of course, she was a very precious woman, and the church could not miss such a saint.

Before she spoke her words, she was raised in the church since she was a little girl, and she was raised with a lot of love as the next saint.

Because of this, she has become a saint with a fairly upright and kind character.

As the face of the church, she was ordained a saint at the age of 16 and became a very influential figure.

Her awareness as a saint also existed.

I always lived a good life, faithfully followed the doctrines, and sincerely helped so many people.

She took these things for granted and fulfilled her duty as a saint.

Because of this, she received enthusiastic support from so many people.

“Thank you all for coming out to pray like this. God bless you all…”

“Holy Lady… Thank you for today.”

“Saint, please look this way.”

Prayer is held every Sunday in the plaza where many people gather.

Whenever she prayed, many of her people would gather and look up to her.

From here on out, she was a very good influence.

But…

Contrary to that, she was a very ignorant woman.

It is true that she genuinely cares for people and is kind, but it doesn’t necessarily flow in a good direction.

Because of the people who tried to use her, she had no choice but to break the structure.

“Holy Lady, at this point, let’s say to donate. Because offering is a faithful church activity.”

“Ah…! Yes I see. I forgot.”

From noble mtl dot com

An old man with a benevolent smile next to her whispered to the saintess.

He is the cardinal of the church, a man who came to pray like this with the saintess…

The cardinal was a man who valued the interests of the church very much, and she tried to use her saintess for him, and the saintess followed her words very faithfully.

“Everyone…! I’d like to ask for a donation. God likes it more if you make an offering!”

Hearing the words of her saintess, people each listened to her words and began to donate money to her diligently.

The words of a saintess who causes divine miracles are not to be taken lightly, and of course, believers who believe in her words are widespread.

And the cardinal and the people of the church smiled at the saintess and her believers.

“As expected of a saintess.”

“As long as there is a saintess, the amount of offerings will be inflated…”

“Shh… Be quiet.”

In fact, they were her group of people who knew how great her saintess was and used her to pursue her own self-interest.

There were so many people like that around Nera. It wasn’t just this cardinal around Nera, there were quite a few people using the saintess.

And whenever that happened, Nera was taken advantage of so easily.

‘I’m sure… Even the gods will be pleased.’

Because she was so ignorant and innocent.

In that respect, she was no different from a child…

In fact, she had no choice but to have this kind of personality.

Nera was confined to the church and lived a life of reading doctrines every day.

While hearing her boundless love and praise from those around her, she had no reason to be ill-tempered by anyone.

No, even if I received her malice, I couldn’t help but notice that she noticed it.

Nerah, who grew up in such an environment, was just a kid who believed in God and didn’t know reality and was taken advantage of.

And that won’t change in the future. Because she was raised that way, and that’s how she was destined to live.

However, she was given an unexpected encounter.

That meeting was a very important meeting in her life.

“hehehe~”

Her usual church day, Nerah was humming her song and tending her flower beds as usual.

Treating flower beds was one of her hobbies that only belonged to her church. She

She was the one who really liked flowers in full bloom.

While tending the flower bed so diligently, she was able to spot two people from far away who looked unusual at first glance.

“Huh…?”

She came to the church a beautiful woman with golden hair who came to her church and, on the contrary, a dark-haired boy who looked like herself and her peers.

They were both too well-dressed to be called normal people, and most of all, they were the ones who told her that her intuition was anything but normal.

The two had a conversation with the cardinal of the church and entered the church.

Seeing that figure, Ner’a immediately ran to the cardinals and asked them who they had just been.

“Hey. Cardinal. Who are they?”

The saintess’ question was answered simply by the cardinal next to her.

“Ah… Those are the hero and her successor who visited the church for a short time this time.”

“The hero and his successor?”

“Yes… I am.”

“Wow…!”

As expected from Nera, they weren’t ordinary people at all, and they were really great people more than she thought.

Nera admired the cardinal’s words.

Her older sister with golden hair and a nice armor was a warrior, and the black haired man next to her was the successor of the hero.

‘Wow…The real hero and his successor.’

Of course, as a saint, Ner-A, she couldn’t help but be very interested in them. She

She’s also a guest after a long time.

She knows what kind of person the hero and his successor are.

In fact, it was only natural for her to be interested in the hero.

Because there are so many stories of her warriors in her goddess doctrine that she always reads.

As she read her doctrines every day, she had no choice but to become a fan of her hero at some point.

Also, she was destined to travel with her heir next to him and possibly with him.

The saintess and the hero traveling together and defeating the soon-to-resurrection demon king was probably something that would happen soon.

Of course, I couldn’t help but be interested in what kind of person he would be in the future.

“Cardinal, where are they now?”

“Perhaps he’s in the waiting room right now. Why…?”

“I’ll talk to them and come back. That’s also a saint’s duty.”

“Ah…? Yes? Holy Lady…!”

Nera immediately ran to where they were.

Her cardinal tried to dissuade her, but she could not dissuade her as she had already left with her curious steps.

Nera arrived in front of the waiting room. Nera slowly approached them.

‘What kind of person is this?’

Nera was feeling very excited now.

‘You must be a brave and righteous person, right?’

The warrior in the doctrine read by the saintess, the warrior was a very righteous and upright person.

There is a hero who defeats the evil tribes and saves the world with the power of the goddess.

I heard that he is a braver and more righteous person than anyone else in the world, so I was really looking forward to having a conversation with him.

Because of that, she slowly approached them and talked to her.

She thought that she and her heart would fit very well.

She thought so, and she spoke…

It didn’t take long for her fantasy to be shattered.

“Wow… Such a carcinogenic lump is a saint…?”

“Have you finished talking now?”

The 16-year-old Nera and Alan met that way, and their first meeting was the worst.
