I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 653

Chapter 34: Found a Treasure

“Such an ignorant bunch.”

Just a few Silver Holy Lights and a silver-grade bloodline have you all green with envy? And you think you’re candidates for Saints? Have you looked in the mirror?

Young Master Rafah chuckled to himself.

With a bloodline purity almost reaching golden grade, Young Master Rafah didn’t even bother to pay attention to these minor players.

But when the blonde maid took the stage, his eyes lit up with flames.

Even without relying on power, his noble bloodline could easily slap this maid right in the face! Once he became a candidate for Saint, not even the Holy Nun could shield these two arrogant nobles!

However, all those fantasies crumbled like dust before the brilliant halo of light.

Pure, overwhelming power surged forth, swallowing the rest of the Holy Lights on stage.

Compared to this, the strength of all the other contestants felt dim and insignificant.

The brilliant specks of light transformed in mid-air into pure white feathers, drifting down like a miracle straight from the gods.

Bathed in the light of falling feathers, the girl gently closed her eyes, resembling an angel who had descended to the mortal realm, tranquil, sacred, and beautiful, leaving every onlooker deeply shaken.

Even donning a maid outfit, she couldn’t hide her stunning beauty and grace.

The crowd gazed at her in admiration and reverence, subconsciously daring not to entertain any improper thoughts.

Even Young Master Rafah found his dark intentions cleansed by this beautiful scene, tears of awe streaming down his face.

On the high platform, the clergy were utterly horrified, instantly thrown into chaos.

“Brilliant white? What kind of bloodline level is this?!”

“Even golden-grade Holy Lights can’t compare in purity?!”

“Holy Light above! Who is this child?!”

Among the priests and nuns, only Teresa stood frozen.

However, she was the one most shaken, unable to calm her thoughts.

Because in the eyes of high-tier extraordinary beings, the scene was utterly different.

The outline of wings faintly traced behind the blonde girl, the pure Holy Light power causing her very soul to tremble, instinctively wanting to bow and submit to the girl’s will.

In her long existence across two eras, she had only seen such a miraculous sight in one person before.

The girl bathed in light, a pure angel descended upon the mundane world.

No one noticed the nun, the world’s savior, how intensely her eyes trembled.

“Sister…?”

The glorious halo of miraculous beauty slowly began to dissipate, the angel’s feathers gently dissolving away.

Calm returned to the high platform.

Yet, once one has witnessed that heartwarming light, it could never be forgotten.

A priest immediately raised his hands, fervently shouting.

“A miracle! That is definitely a miracle!”

“She is the one chosen by the goddess, the divine candidate of our Western Continent—undeniably a Saint… candidate!”

The fervent priest stumbled over the last two words, which were drowned out by the crowd’s cheers.

“Saint! Saint! Saint!”

Being chosen as a candidate for Saint, stealing their hopes, should have been disheartening.

But the brilliant Holy Light had already purified everyone’s dark thoughts, leaving only the most sincere admiration.

Even though the selection for the Saint was not over, no one doubted the result. Countless faithful followers of the Holy Light wept, bowed, and praised the blonde girl with all their hearts.

Only Alice herself, gazing at the waves of people below, appeared troubled, even a bit sad.

So noisy, so chaotic, blocking master’s view!

Wasn’t this a bit lonely?

Alice sighed softly, wondering if she’d be able to take this monument home once she truly became a Saint.

Then she could perform the Light’s Feathers every day for her master.

Meanwhile, Roy, pushed away by the crowd, couldn’t help but ponder the fervent scene around him.

In the original story, didn’t Alice have this much popularity at this time?

Had he spoiled the little maid too much…?

Having already been selected as a candidate for Saint, Alice returned to the inn early with Roy to rest, awaiting further notifications from the church.

They could sleep peacefully, but the church couldn’t.

The destined girl, surpassing golden-grade bloodlines, had triggered a miracle!

How many candidates for Saints from the Eastern Continent could achieve this!?

This wasn’t just any treasure found; it was a once-in-a-lifetime blessing to receive the favor of the treasure girl!

The excited White Harbor Church didn’t hesitate to spend lavishly, hiring griffins and giant hawks overnight to convey this good news to every church.

Thus, within just a few days, the news of Alice being selected as a candidate for Saint spread throughout the entire Western Continent.

In the Lionheart Kingdom, the knights raised their swords in cheers, praising the name of the Angel of Slaughter.

Meanwhile, a certain Iron-Blood Marquis stood dumbfounded, beginning to sweat, wondering what kind of luck his big son had to randomly buy such a capable maid.

The Verdant Council, not only were the adventurers intrigued by White Harbor’s news, but even the usually closed-off council began to pay attention to the candidate for Saint.

The church’s stance against cultists made it a potential ally for the Verdant Council, but the church’s headquarters was far to the east, making communication difficult. White Harbor, as one of Veszyra’s seven major powers, had relatively limited influence.

If White Harbor could leverage Alice’s power to develop, even the isolationist descendants of elves would have to reconsider their diplomatic stance with the church.

Yet, compared to the Verdant Council’s diplomacy, Janthea was more worried about her daughter’s romantic issues, knowing that the future Saint was actually Roy’s maid.

At the border of the Frost-Winter Empire.

The border nobles and the church’s troops supporting the Desperate Defense Line had unknowingly melded together.

The border nobles hadn’t forgotten about the brave blonde girl who fought alongside their lord. The church also recognized the nobles’ contribution to sercuring the defenses against the undead.

Now with Alice emerging as a candidate for Saint, it ironically added a new bond to their friendship.

While joyful, the Bear Count couldn’t help but feel a bit pensive.

Roy’s romantic issues were already complicated enough, and now even his maid had turned out to be this capable.

If he was unlucky, wasn’t every girl around him a stunning beauty?

But if he was lucky, none of the girls around him were pushovers!

He could only hope he wouldn’t get into trouble.

In the land of magic, topics surrounding the candidate for Saint had already run rampant.

“Did you see? Did you see? Our Western Continent’s talents are no less than yours from the Eastern Continent!”

“Even without joining the church, we have our Holy Light extraordinary beings!”

“Wasn’t it said that the Eastern Continent received the goddess’s grace? How come they cannot even create a miracle?!”

The students from the Eastern Continent were left fuming, their faces red with anger.

“That’s just her luck! She has shamelessly gained the goddess’s blessings; what’s there to flaunt?! Even if she becomes a candidate, she can’t win in the end! Just wait for the selection of the Saints; you’ll see miracles then!”

The rivalry between students from the Eastern and Western Continents was just a microcosm of the overall situation.

After all, if the little maid who just came onto the scene really became a Saint, it wouldn’t just shake the church’s authority in the Eastern Continent but might even replace it altogether!
