229 A Saint?

«A Saint sent by the Gods to protect Alba?» one of the Cardinals repeats. Thank goodness he does it for me because I was going to do the same in a moment or two.

What in the world?

However, I can see surprises on the faces of the Cardinals. They are dumbfounded, shocked... Even more than me! So, this isn't what they consider neutral. Adelphium took a bold decision and declared I am no threat, that I'm a good person... Against what the Church needed and wanted.

He also is brave, in the end. I will decide later whether he's doing this because of his hidden agenda or if he just wanted to help me. I'll consider later whether this actually improves or worsens the situation and Ignis's standing.

For now, I can only keep up appearances and act all shy and surprised. Power from the Gods? To me? Really?

«Specifically, the God of Lightning,» Adelphium adds.

Oh, this makes sense. But it's not just lightning.
