My Lucky Encounter From The Game Turned Into Reality - M.L.E Chapter 62: Saint Candidate (Part 1)

Adrian, who had acquired his title just 50 days ago, displayed actions that far exceeded the expected norms.

The fact that he achieved the 7th circle at the age of 20 in an environment where he could not practice comfortably proves that he is unusual, but his subsequent actions further demonstrated his exceptional abilities.

Since witnessing a battle that defied the common sense of a magician, Olivia, who had been showing increasing interest in Adrian, didn’t express hostility towards the intruder interfering with her plans. Instead, she felt a deep curiosity.

“How interesting… What strange things are you planning to do next?”

“Wow, I can’t believe my eyes? Presto, are you seeing what I’m seeing? Olivia, the Ice Witch, is smiling!”

“Why does it feel awkward seeing her smile?”

“Hey, Olivia, do you happen to be interested in Marquis Lawrence?”

“Well…”

“Oh, no! Come on. He’s 16 years younger than you. If you had married in your twenties, he’d be about the age of your son…”

-Smack!

“Ouch!”

In response to Marquis Lake’s reckless behavior of pouring cold water on her delightful mood, Olivia silenced him with a strong blow.

Ignoring Marquis Lake, who gasped for breath while clutching his chest, Olivia spoke to count Preston.

“Instruct the Intelligence Department to engage in friendly competition and not to sabotage. Let there be fair competition. Hmm… Or, should we form an alliance? That doesn’t seem like a bad idea…”

“Well, um. At this stage, are we really in a position where we need to do that?”

“There is no way Lord Lawrence doesn’t know that they are at a disadvantage. He must have thought of something.”

“Aren’t you overestimating him?”

“Have I ever made a wrong judgment?”

“Well, none yet, but…”

“Alright, then propose it to Lord Lawrence. Let’s join forces for now to overcome the Saints Contest, gain an advantage over other candidates, and then compete.”

Count Preston sighed slightly and nodded at Olivia’s choice.

It was the first time he had seen her show so much favor and interest in a man.

Although he hadn’t seen Lord Lawrence in person yet, Count Preston couldn’t help but feel a rising sense of jealousy for some reason.

“Creak!”

Olivia used a healing spell on Marquis Lake, who was still catching his breath after the blow.

“Don’t you need some exercise? I can’t believe the fist of such a weak woman caused you such pain.”

“A weak woman? Where?”

After catching his breath, Lake regained his composure and tried to provoke her again, but when Olivia stood up from her seat, he quickly ran away, claiming he remembered another task and quickly escaped.

‘Archbishop Fred’ of the Reinhart Kingdom Diocese was known as an extremely conservative figure among the archbishops of the Sepia Church.

Therefore, I took about two weeks even after donating the astonishing 10 trillion donation to meet him in person.

But such a person…

“Oh, you are truly amazing! Already wielding holy magic to this extent! I have no doubt that you, Lady Ivril, will become the new Holy Maiden! I believe it without a shred of doubt!”

The moment he saw Ivril, who was about his granddaughter’s age, he completely fell into the role of treating her like the future Saintess. It’s not that he harbored impure emotions.

Archbishop Fred was treating Ivril with pure faith.

Without dwelling on it for long, there was no need for politics, transactions, or anything else. Being a true archbishop, he immediately recognized Ivril’s talent and qualities as a Saintess.

Thanks to that, everything afterward proceeded smoothly.

“There should be no problem with Lady Ivril participating in the Saints selection competition, right?”

“Of course. Even if I have to pour out all the personal connections I’ve accumulated while serving as a priest, I will make sure that Lady Ivril receives proper evaluation.”

“That’s reassuring. I truly appreciate it.”

“I’m the one who should be grateful. I can’t express how fortunate I am that lord Lawrence recognized Lady Ivril’s value and led her in this way.”

He had become entirely aligned with our cause.

Initially, Ivril herself didn’t fully grasp the concept of being the Holy Maiden. Still, witnessing Archbishop Fred of the Sepia Order respectfully addressing her with ‘Lady’ repeatedly made her think, ‘Her Lord’s words must be true.’

After all, the archbishop of the church was someone that even high-ranking nobles could never ignore.

“I-I’m embarrassed. I’m still unsure if I really deserve to be treated like this.”

“Look up to heaven and take courage. The Great Mother is watching over you, Lady Ivril.”

“Yes, Archbishop Fred.”

Such reactions from the archbishop had slightly altered Ivril’s mindset. As she gradually delved into the new world of holy magic, she began to show interest in theology.

Upon becoming a Saintess, addressing her would change to ‘Your Grace.’

‘Your Grace’ is on the same level as ‘Your Majesty’ for an emperor or a king with independent sovereignty, surpassing the leaders of vassal states and the feudal lords.

I am working to place Ivril in that position.

Though I might be pushing a bit forcefully, it’s not a bad thing for her either.

The Saintess in this world is not an icon of sacrifice. She can marry, enjoy hobbies and vacations, and even possess personal property.

Of course, if she were to become corrupt, she would face the judgment of the god. However, the intention is that she can thoroughly enjoy life as a person of influence.

“Archbishop Fred, I have something to discuss with you.”

“Yes, go ahead. Lord Lawrence.”

As Eric, who had been quietly observing Ivril and occupying a seat like a secretary, gestured towards the archbishop, he recalled a matter he had forgotten.

At my summons, Archbishop Fred wore an exceedingly benevolent smile.

“Actually, an interesting proposal has come in.”

“A proposal?”

“Yes, it’s a suggestion from Judy Esther, who is considered a strong candidate for Saintess alongside Ivril. They propose forming an alliance during the competition. To be precise, it’s a request from the Duchess of Riverdale, her sponsor, rather than Judy Esther herself.”

“Hmm…”

Since they were already going to work together, there was nothing to gain by keeping it hidden. So, to gain his trust, they decided to discuss the proposal together from the beginning.

“Miss Esther, Hmm! She’s a decent candidate. I think it’s something worth considering.”

“I share the same thought. Let’s first increase Ivril’s chances of being chosen. Later, we can compete with Miss Esther.”

“Well then, it seems acceptable. Hahaha, it looks like the Duchess of Riverdale has no desire to confront you, my lord, a fellow Archmage.”

For someone evaluated as an individual with a tightly sealed, his response was surprisingly flexible.

This can all be seen as a declaration of his determination to make Ivril a Saintess.

I responded with a friendly smile.

Truth be told, if Duchess Riverdale hadn’t proposed this alliance, I was planning to suggest it myself. But thanks to Olivia Riverdale, who views me favorably, I had less trouble.

With this, I believe we have surpassed the seventh stage of the plan.

“Now, what remains is to draw in the royal family of the Reinhart.”

-In the capital city of the Reinhart Kingdom, Lionel

“These days, it seems like Marquis Lawrence is concocting interesting things.”

Although it was uncomfortable to face him, I greeted the second prince with a smile that I couldn’t help but make at the moment.

“Isn’t this all for your highness?”

As he offered me iced tea directly, the second prince who had granted me a seat spoke.
