The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 11
Only Noblemtl
#11. Black Death (6)
The first princess of the branch country, Liliana.
Today too, she was looking at her mother’s room through the royal garden window.
“Your Majesty, you must not go into the room where Her Highness the Queen is.”
“Why doesn’t it work?”
“Your Majesty is very sick. But don’t worry too much. He will get over it soon.”
My mother hasn’t stepped out of her bedroom for the past two months.
Even when I asked the palace maids, they only said that they were sick. They didn’t even tell me the exact name of the disease or symptoms.
But does that mean I can give up?
With the entrance to the Queen’s Palace blocked, Liliana began to enter and exit through the passages towards the gardens. It wasn’t too difficult, as the palace gardens were all connected and there were many places to hide.
And then I saw it.
“Oh, Mother?”
My mother, whose skin had turned black and was dying.
The shock at that time was beyond words. Furthermore, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly serious.
“You said Her Majesty the Queen might pass away soon?”
“Even the most renowned doctors said that treatment was impossible.”
“No, it didn’t work out. He was a really nice person.”
The servants’ words, overheard by chance, gave confidence to his thoughts.
‘mother…….’
I cried in hiding for several days.
I can’t believe my mother, who was so healthy, is going to pass away soon.
I didn’t want to believe it, but my mother, who I saw every day through the window, was getting weaker and weaker. Now, she had even lost her original color.
But today something was different.
“Why did you bring a commoner girl?”
“Treatment? How is it possible?”
Liliana, who had overheard the servants chatter, climbed up a tree in the garden where her mother could be seen clearly as usual.
‘What is that?’
Her mother’s room was unusually bustling. Liliana frowned at the sight of the nobles crowding into the room.
That was when.
“…uh?”
A girl of the same age with white hair grabbed her mother’s hand, and immediately a white light burst out. It was a sacred sight that made my heart flutter.
Even that is surprising.
“…mother?”
The mother, engulfed in light, became healthy as if purified.
The dark skin that used to make my heart ache just by looking at it has also disappeared.
The strength left her hand that was holding onto the tree trunk. She immediately jumped down from the tree and started running towards her mother.

Around the same time, the Holy Land Aegis.
“A saint?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Pope Zephyrus rubbed the fountain pen he was holding over the priest’s report.
“Actually, I’ve heard the rumors too. It’s probably a story that’s hard for us to ignore.”
“… I heard that a white light came out of his body and completely cured the patients. It was as if… … .”
“Like a miracle.”
The priest was silent at Zephyrus’ words.
miracle.
In the past, adults often appeared and performed, but now it was different.
People gradually became less religious. Even outside the Holy Land, there were many people who knew nothing about the doctrines of the Goddess.
As a result, the influence of the Holy Land also decreased considerably, since it no longer required ‘divine legitimacy’ from the king.
In such a situation, a miracle appears.
A girl with white hair and blue eyes like a goddess.
“You said branch office, right?”
I don’t know what the situation is.
But his principle was to make the most of what was available.
“I have to meet that girl.”
“What do you plan to do when we meet?”
To the priest’s question, Zephyrus answered with a curious smile.
“If the rumors are true, isn’t she the beloved daughter of Ether, who has appeared for the first time in hundreds of years? Of course, she should be treated with the utmost respect in our holy country.”

I declined all the king’s favors. Instead, I made only one request.
“I would like to continue treating other patients who need help. Could you lend me your horse so I can get there a little faster?”
Be recognized as a saint by 100,000 people.
There is no time to rest for that distant and arduous goal.
The king and his subjects seemed greatly impressed by my actions. As before, there was no one who doubted me.
“If that is your intention, I will provide you with a carriage and a servant to help you.”
Considering the image and my riding skills, I thought a carriage would be better, so I decided to get the king’s help.
The servant refused. He planned to hang out with Mars for the time being anyway.
‘Until the Holy Land picks me up.’
The Holy Nation of Aegis, as its name suggests, was a country ruled by priests, priestesses, and the Pope. It was also the place where the protagonist was recognized as a warrior in the first chapter of the story.
‘If you want to act like a saint, you must contact the Holy Land.’
What if Seongguk doesn’t come for me?
That’s not possible.
“May God bless you.”
“The Lord is always watching over us.”
“Please give thanks to Aether, not to me, for I am his faithful follower.”
When he was on his infectious disease tour, he deliberately laid the groundwork by saying things like this.
It wasn’t for nothing that people called me the saint, the daughter of God.
‘Rumors will spread, no matter what.’
A miracle that saved a dying person with just one prayer?
You can’t learn without coming.
Just as I was about to leave the palace with that purpose, an unexpected encounter came.
“Are you… the one who treated Her Highness the Queen?”
I quickly looked at her.
Blonde hair and red eyes.
Although he is wearing plain clothes, his serious expression and restrained gait, which are unusual for a child, stand out.
It was obvious who it was.
“that’s right.”
Liliana Louise Terrario.
The first princess of the Terra royal family, who will later become an outstanding magician.
Plus, he has perfect memory skills.
But I can’t pretend to know.
“But who are you?”
Anyone with eyesight could tell that she looked just like the king, but ‘Justinas’ couldn’t tell.
Liliana flinched at my innocent question. She slowly studied my face and answered.
“My name is Lily.”
‘A nickname all of a sudden?’
It seemed like she didn’t want to reveal her status as a princess.
I don’t know why though.
“What is your name?”
“It’s Justinas.”
“Justinas… … .”
When she heard my name, she mumbled a few times and then asked in a very serious tone.
“I heard that His Majesty the King promised you a great deal of money and a title of nobility. Why did you refuse?”
Is that what you were wondering?
‘Yes, of course.’
Liliana is a character with a strong ego as a royal. That’s why she often clashed with Cedric, who was from the slums, in the early days.
For her, it may be difficult to understand why I would kick away the opportunity to become a noble.
My answer is set though.
I smiled brightly.
“God has always taught us to do good deeds from the lowest position. I am just trying to put that teaching into practice.”
“The teachings of God… you say?”
Liliana’s pupils shook. Her expression was like that of a worker who had encountered a preacher on the street who said, “I have some good words for you. Would you like to listen?”
But the quest tells me to become a saint, so what can I do? Consider it as payment for saving me, and listen to my prayers.
I smiled affectionately at Liliana, who was still dazed.
“Then I guess I’ll be going now.”
“for a moment!”
Why again?
I looked back, feeling a little annoyed, and she declared with determined eyes.
“I will never forget your name.”
At that moment.
[Liliana Louise Terrario’s life changed.]
[Advance Points +100,000]
A status window appeared before my eyes.
I tried to hide my surprise and answered her.
“It is an honor, Lily.”
The expression on my face cracked as I turned around. I had to use all my strength to suppress the corners of my lips that were about to go up.
‘This is awesome! This is awesome!’
I already felt it once with Cedric, but the second time is different.
‘If you change the main character’s life, you get a lot of points.’
This proposition means one thing.
‘I’m on the right path.’
My plan is correct.
