Become a true saint?

Charlotte's heart jumped.

Within the Divine Court, the Holy Maiden has a transcendent status.

They are able to communicate directly with the gods, and they are also the symbol of the gods on earth, even if the lord and the priest see them, they have to salute.

However, not everyone can be a saint.

Not to mention anything else, the transcendent qualifications alone can stop the vast majority of people, not to mention that only those who are recognized by the gods can become a true saint.

Approved by the gods......

Charlotte felt a toothache.

Although there is a blood canon, Charlotte hides her identity even if she is facing a legendary-level priest, but a priesthood is a priest, and a god is a god.

Charlotte wasn't brave enough to confront a god.

Not to mention the gods, even this high priest has not stimulated the divine power to investigate at this moment.

Otherwise...... Charlotte really didn't know if she could hide her identity.

As for the gaze of Lord Harald......

Although judging from the previous "second crossing", it is very likely that her relationship with this god is a little delicate, but even now, Charlotte has not figured out what is going on with the "crossing" when she was promoted.

To be on the safe side, Charlotte thinks it's better to stay away from the gaze of those myths at this stage.

Not to mention that saints also have the duties of saints.

The Holy Maiden is not a part-time priest of the nobles, and if she does become a Holy Maiden, it means that she has given up the right to rule the territory......

Thinking of this, Charlotte was a little puzzled again.

Since the archpriest of the diocese mentioned her original vows, it shows that the church is also interested in Castel.

But now she is invited to be a saint, which is contrary to the vow she made in the first place.

After all, the right to rule has been relinquished, and the oath or anything is naturally not counted.

The royal power and the clerical power of the Crescent Kingdom are fighting fiercely, and Castel only has Charlotte left, if Charlotte gives up the right to rule, the territory is likely to be recovered by the lord, and now she is independent of Bolt, that is, it is directly taken back by the royal family.

From this point of view, if she really chooses to become a saint, I am afraid that His Majesty the King will be desperate.

Why, then, did the church invite her?

Can you really value her "qualifications"?

Charlotte didn't believe it.

Charlotte had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't show it at all, but made a grateful and sorry expression:

"Thank you, High Priest, for your kindness......

"To be a saint of the royal court is the supreme honor for every devout believer, but ...... I am a special person, not only a believer, but also a lord."

"Although I have decided to dedicate my life to my lord, I have not forgotten the glory of my family......

Charlotte's meaning is obvious.

She gave up her territory and became a saint, she didn't do it.

While this response almost made it clear that she wasn't really religious, Charlotte didn't care.

Again, the church is neither blind nor stupid.

A careful investigation of what she had done since she crossed over would reveal that she had sworn to take refuge in the power of the Church against the other nobles' coveting of Castel.

was politely rejected by Charlotte, but the archpriest of the diocese did not show a surprised expression.

It is clear that the High Priest knows everything.

I saw him smile slightly and said:

"My child, I know all your concerns."

"But...... You can rest assured that the Church is not inviting you to become a full-time saint, but to be a saint of the Crescent as well as a lord."

"After becoming a saint, you don't need to perform the duties of a saint, and you don't need to go to the clergy to be tested by the Holy Gate, and you can still remain a nobleman

Portion ......"

As he spoke, the High Priest paused again and said meaningfully:

"The Church will not interfere in all the affairs of Castre, but will be your strongest backing, not even the royal power can put pressure on you."

Charlotte: ......

What does this mean...... Let her work part-time?

But what's the picture?

The nobles have a part-time priest's saying, but most of the nobles' part-time jobs are just to go to the church to gild, and the priest is gilded, and this saint can also be gilded?

She is a part-time saint, what good is it for the church?

No...... Wait a minute.

It seems that there are really benefits.

Let her work part-time as a saint, and she will have a layer of ecclesiastical aura, as long as she satisfies her original vow, it is almost a certainty that Castel will become a clergy in the future.

In addition, to be a saint would mean that one was destined to be the only child in this life, and it would be impossible to break the declaration of celibacy, because that would mean blasphemy against the gods.

This is a further reinforcement of her original vow.

At the same time, with the part-time saints of the church, the church can naturally send more priests to Castel, which is justified.

[In view of the general environment,

Even if he doesn't interfere in Castre's affairs, he can strengthen his influence in Castre.

The church doesn't want a saint.

Rather, she used the identity of a saint to strengthen Castel's connection with the church.

Could it be that the Church has already sensed the actions of the Ness Clan in the Kingdom of the Falling Stars, and intends to use Castel as a springboard to suppress it?

Or are you interested in the faith of the Grand Duchy of the North?

Or rather......

What does the church already know?

Charlotte's thoughts were surging and many speculations were surging in her mind.

"How? My child, would you like to accept the invitation of the Church?"

The Archpriest of the diocese asked gently.

Charlotte fell into deep thought.

This is not a simple invitation.

It's a deal.

Use the protection of the church in exchange for future control of Castelle.

The church didn't really care if her faith was strong or not.

I am afraid that the Church only wants to use Castel as a springboard to expand the influence of the Crescent Diocese.

To be honest, this conflicts with Charlotte's goals.

She already has a Faith Network, and spreading her faith in the Northland is her next plan.

What she needed was to reduce the church's focus on the Northland as much as possible, not to bring the power of the church into the Northland.

But there are also great dangers in rejecting the invitation of the church.

That almost meant telling the church that there was something wrong with her.

Without him, from the point of view of any nobleman who wanted to gain refuge with the power of the Church, the Church's proposal was quite sincere.

Charlotte refused without good reason.

She had to come up with a suitable excuse.

But what excuse is appropriate?

Charlotte was lost in thought.

Her eyes fell on the bed chair in the prayer room, and her heart suddenly moved.

She thought of some dregs who had already been judged by the church......

Thinking of this, Charlotte had an idea.

I saw her sigh and say:

"High Priest, thank you for your kindness."

"If you had made such an invitation to me a year ago, I would have agreed without hesitation and joyfully."

"But now, I can't deceive my heart......
