In the previous life, the existence of the Saintess became known to the continent when Medea and Jason were on the expedition.
"A Saintess has appeared in Katzen! The representative has finally returned to this land!"
The holy land was so happy that he came all the way to Katzen and took Rachel, who had awakened her divine powers.
Meanwhile, Medea, who had returned from the expedition, was busy fighting with Perdiccas II for the throne.
By giving credit for killing the dragon to her husband, she makes him a hero.
She even brought in the power of his Emperor and her country to make Jason the Emperor.
"Dea, just wait a moment, I will come for you and Lian as soon as the palace is stabilized. Now, you will become the Empress of this country."
Medea, who had not yet been formally engaged and was not yet crowned Empress, had to remain outside the palace.
When Jason finally ascended the throne, Saintess Rachel came to Katzen.
To bless the new Emperor.
She remained in the palace as a Saintess and became close to Jason.
With her harmless and beautiful face, Rachel charmed the expedition team and quickly won the love of the people of the empire.
And soon after, the oracle came down.
An oracle decreed that Emperor Jason's companion must be only a Saintess.
"Medea, please understand me. I can't help it. I can't go against the oracle."
Before Medea could do anything, Jason accepted the oracle. Under the pretense of God's will. the two tied Medea up so she could not move.
Thus Rachel became the Empress of Katzen.
Medea, who was carrying her second child, Leah, had to witness the wedding of the two.
"Long life Her Majesty Empress Rachel!"
"You are the one who saved Katzen from danger and brought the goddess's blessing!"
Medea's sacrifice in the expedition and the fight for the throne were also forgotten in an instant due to Rachel's presence.
Rachel thus took Medea's rightful place.
Empress of Katzen and Jason's companion.
But it seemed that she wasn't satisfied with that level.
Rachel betrayed the hermits who had been guarding Medea's first child, Lian, and poisoned Lian.
Before tears of bloodshed while holding the child who returned as a corpse could even dry, an arrow aimed at the second child, Leah, flew.
If Jasin used Medea in front of the veil. Rachel targeted her behind the veil/
She tried to take everything from MEdea as if she were her mortal enemy.
Medea's achievements, her glory, and her family.
Why, why?
How could a Saintess, a woman chosen by God, be so cruel?
There was no time to ask why. Medea's previous life had been nothing but a battle to avoid being taken away.
'And there I lost.'
In the end, it was a clear victory for Rachel, as Medea lost her children and even Medea herself died.
Medea looked at the woman in front of her. A light came into her green eyes.
'Why... has it changed?'
The first place where Rachel revealed her powers and was revered as a Saintess must have been the Katzen Empire
But in this life, she appeared in Valdina, not Katzen. The greatest change in fate from her previous life was happening right before Medea's eyes.
"On the way to Valdina, we have informed the Holy Nation of Lady Rachel's awakening through the temple. The Knights Templar will arrive in Valdina soon to bring the Saintess back."
D'Angel's voice, unaware of Medea's confusion, was bright as if he had been given a new lease on life.
That is understandable, for the Holy Nation has been waiting for the Saintess's return for a long time.
With the upcoming Imperial Proclamation Ceremony approaching, the fact that this miracle had occurred in Valdina's territory would become known, and the continent would once again take notice of Valdina.
"..."
Meanwhile, Medea stood silently, not saying a word. Not only was she not happy about Valdina's extraordinary good fortune, but she showed no change in her emotions.
But beneath her expressionless face, no one knew that she was barely maintaining her composure by biting the flesh inside her mouth.
"...Your Highness the Princess?"
A rather long and eerie silence flowed.
D'Angel belatedly looked back at the Princess who had not yet said anything. The wise Princess was someone he respected and was loyal to as much as the King.
"What was your name?"
The voice that came out softly her stand up a little.
The woman hesitated. Even though D'Angel introduced herself as the next Saintess who would soon be welcomed by the Holy Kingdom, the Princess insisted on her lower form.
It seemed as if her appearance had touched the pride of the proud Princess.
The restraint was familiar. A natural smile appeared on the woman's lips.
"... My name is Rachel."
The woman smiled and locked eyes with Medea.
"Your Highness, Princess Medea? How beautiful and virtuous you are, Sir D'Angel, and the Agemas have always spoken of you with good words..."
A lively voice spread across the sunlight, seeming to let down even the guard of strangers.
"But when I saw you in person, I could tell that the compliments were not an exaggeration. You are truly beautiful."
The woman who spoke thus had a gentle and loving appearance. Her kind eyes, filled with pure admiration, were like clear amethyst.
It seemed that no matter how poisonous and evil the world was, it would be impossible to find a flaw in those jewel-like eyes.
"Even though I come from a remote and uninhabited land, I know of Your Highness's reputation. It is all thanks to Your Highness that Valdina has developed to this point."
"..."
"Besides, since His Majesty loves you so much, he just has been able to come here with peace of mind even though he was in the plains where the devils were swarming. No matter what happens, You Highness will firmly lead the state affairs."
Rachel smiled faintly.
Neril, standing behind Medea, frowned.
The words of the woman who called herself a Saintess were certainly full of sweet praise, but somehow tey felt uncomfortable.
'If someone who doesn't know hears that Her Highness is leading the state affairs, they will think that our Princess is aiming for His Majesty's throne."
Valdina was already sensitive to the possibility of usurpation of the throne due to the treason of the Regent Claudio.
Even those who are well aware of the brotherly love between Peleus and Medea would naturally feel aversion towards Medea upon hearing this.
Neril lowered her gaze, fearing that her feelings of discontent toward the Saintess would be revealed.
Meanwhile, Medea stared at Rachel silently as if she didn't hear her praise and then asked.
"If you're from the frontier, where are you from?"
Even though the question was unexpected, the beautiful Rachel answered without any hesitation.
"As Sir D' Angel told you earlier, I come from a small village in the Orpheus Mountains, south of the plains. It is not large, but it has a clean air-"
"If it's Orpheus, then it was under Katzen's rule."
Medea cut Rachel off.
"Then it would be difficult to see you as Valdinian. If you were born and raised in the vassal state of Katzen, it would be difficult to feel the true significance of His Majesty personally heading to the plains infested with demons."
"..."
"Be it the plains or this place, it is all the land and people of this country protected by Valdina."
Rachel seemed speechless for a moment, then raised her gentle eyebrows.
"Please forgive me. I must have offended Your Highness by saying something unnecessary."
Her beautiful purple eyes quickly filled with tears.
It seemed as if all of her courage had finally disappeared under the pressure of the Princess who did not hide her coldness.
Medea looked down at her calmly.
"No, that's not true. I was just pointing out the skin can only be seen from the skin's perspective."
"..."
The atmosphere had grown cold.
Isn't the Princess referring to Rachel's origins as a country girl?
This isn't the first time the Princess has opened her mouth and explained that reasoning in detail/ But the opponents have always been villains.
People were surprised at the Princess's disrespect for the Saintess, but they could not come forward. Even Peleus hesitated at his sister's unusual appearance.
