Time-limited Saintess, You’ve Been Caught by the Tyrant Once Again - Chapter 3.1

The town is popular with tourists and is often crowded.

Especially since it is a town leading to the capital.

Three or five people gathered and chatted loudly, clinking glasses at the inn and tavern, as the employees were busy taking orders from customers.

“Ellin, come here and clean the table!”

“Yes!”

Elena replied vigorously.

Currently Elena, no, Ellin is working as an employee at an inn in the town of Bezela.

‘I will be busy today.’

Ellin grabbed her loose hair securely in a ponytail.

Her beautiful platinum blonde had long been dyed a rather dull dark brown color.

The work was hard, but she didn’t hate it.

Hearing stories from people has been so much fun.

“So, you say that the new emperor will rise?”

Ellin’s hand, which was cleaning the table, stopped.

“A new emperor?”

“Yes, it’s the second prince.”

“Ah, the son of that Normaty slave?”

“They said he killed the emperor and all of his children, leaving only his siblings alive.”

The man pretended to cut his neck with his hand.

Ellin looked at the man’s hand with her eyes wide open.

“That’s cruel.”

“Shh, don’t say it out loud. Be careful.”

Ellin’s hands, which were cleaning the table, were shaking.

Is it true? The emperor was supposed to ascend two years later when Ellin turned twenty.

The time is different. However, it was clearly that person.

Arkan.

He was the emperor she hated.

The man was called the emperor of swords because he was always covered in blood. Is he already emperor?

“Ellin, don’t just wipe there, wipe this side as well.”

“Yes!”

Ellin also cleaned the other table. At that table, they were also talking about the new emperor’s accession.

‘They’re not lying.’

Ellin’s heart was pounding.

What happened? Ellin calmed her mind and closed her eyes tightly.

No, let’s forget about him.’

Ellin tried to pretend she didn’t hear it. But at the repeated words, she almost dropped a glass of water.

“The temples are looking for a saint?”

“Saint?”

“Yes. A saint would come from a small village, according to the prophecy.”

“I will go if the prophecy is true.”

“But I don’t think any of the girls had the pattern. It’s already been three years since the prophecy was given.”

“That’s weird.”

“The priests were famous for their prophecy, but it must be wrong this time.”

Ellin sighed in relief.

There was no sign of them chasing after Ellin.

Of course, she changed her appearance and changed her name when she left the village in case she was pursued.

‘This is it.’

It has been three years since Elin left the village.

Determined not to become a saint, Ellin left the village without the knowledge of Viscount Timothy.

Of course, while leaving, the land documents were donated to the temple.

How refreshing it was to think of Viscount Timothy who would be angry because he could not take the land. Ellin couldn’t be more excited about the way she left.

She thought that traveling alone would be difficult for a woman.

But as if God is taking care of her, she was able to come to another town smoothly.

A kind merchant took her to a town.

The owner of the inn, who was introduced by the merchant, said that the number of guests increased thanks to her and gave him a higher salary than expected.

Thanks to the kind owner, she also had many days off.

On her day off, she roamed the streets, enjoying life in a small city.

This was the ordinary and beautiful life she had longed for.

Even if demons and magical beasts appeared, there was Erich and Maynard who have good skills, so they will take care of them.

If anything dangerous happens, it won’t be too late for her to step in. She thought a little leisurely.

The world was full of fun and happy things that she didn’t even think of during her days as a saint.

“Do you think of me as a person?”

“Your Majesty doesn’t treat me like a person, how can I treat Your Majesty as a person?”

Elena said with a cold expression with intense hatred in her eyes.

“No matter what you do, I will not let you go.”

At that time, what kind of expression did Elena have? She lived as if she was locked up in the temple, and suffered from anxiety in the imperial palace.

The life in the temple is already hard enough. And life in the imperial palace is even worse than that.

She was never happy.

That’s why this peaceful daily life was so precious to Ellin. This was her desire.

She painstakingly erased her memory with Arkan.

“You still haven’t found her!”

The high priest exclaimed in anger. The priests and holy knights all bowed their heads like criminals.

It has been three years since the revelation was given, and the saint has not been found.

How could it be like this? If the saint had been found, he could slightly feel at peace when his confrontation with the emperor came to a halt.

Her presence alone would be able to subdue people.

Now the demon’s offspring, a mad emperor of Normatian blood, has ascended to the throne and has officially revealed his fangs in the temple.

The high priest was surprised when he saw those devilish red eyes.

“I’m sorry.”

Maynard bowed.

The Holy Knights bent their heads as the leader, Maynard, bowed his.

Maynard was seldom seen with his head down.

Then someone came and helped the situation.

“Don’t overwork them, Priest Anton.”

Then, a soft voice was heard.

The priests, who were stiff with tension, were remarkably relieved as soon as they heard their voices.

“High Priest* Erich.”

*TL/N: I’m sorry for the frequent notes but I just want to clarify it in case I was wrong. I mentioned him as the pope before. I know that there could only be one pope, so I’m confused about this since Anton and Erich here have the same title? I tried to use the english equivalent, but it seems like in Korean novels, they only mentioned a priest and high-ranking priest. So I’ll change from pope to high priest instead. Which is way safer than using the english rankings since I could be wrong lol. It might also be that he hasn’t ascended as a pope? Not sure, I’ll change it again later if it’s wrong.

High Priest Anton frowned.

Erich, who has a soft voice, has his hair fluttered softly.

His face on pure white skin looked like a sculpture carved by a god.

His all-white outfit made him stand out.

He smiled at him.

Since childhood, he had excellent divine power and has become a high priest.

Many adored him.

Anton’s voice softened.

“But Priest Erich, she has not been found for three years now.”

“It must all be God’s will. It will be fine.”

Erich’s words contained a strange conviction.

It’s because he’s young, he doesn’t know anything.

Anton thought so and clicked his tongue inwardly.

After all, what would such a young priest know?

He didn’t know how important the saint was for them.

“Sir! Priest!”

A frantic sound came.

Erich and Anton looked at the source of the sound.

There was an unknown excitement in the urgent voice.

Perhaps they noticed it, the holy knights who bowed their heads also looked at the priest.

“Saint, the saintess has appeared!”

“What!?”

Anton exclaimed happily. He instinctively sought someone to share this joy with.

It was the moment he turned around. Erich had a puzzled expression on his face.

His eyes were trembling. His red lips turned up, and joy spread across his face.

High Priest Anton regretted having prejudice about him.

If he were to meet God directly, would he look like that?

Erich looked like he had fallen in love.
