I Fell for the Temptation of the Evil Crown Prince - Chapter 203

After creating humans, the goddess made a girl listen to her voice to announce her will to the world, and sent her sword and shield to protect her.

“People often think that the sword means the current paladin and the shield means the priest, but in reality it is different. The priests and priestesses are servants of God who convey the voice of the goddess.”

The High Priest said so and looked at Rowena.

“The ‘Shield of God’ is the lineage permitted for girls. With the power to block and drive out any evil force.”

Most of them became paladins because they had the ability to fight monsters and demons. So, because it was classified in the same context as the sword of God, the lineage of ‘Shield of God’ was forgotten.

“After the Shinma War, it was a lineage that even the royal and imperial families were willing to accept, but it was thought that the lineage had ceased to exist after that war.”

Being at the forefront of the Shinma War was unavoidable because the lineage had the deadly power to fight against the demons. As many countries were erased from the continent in the war and royal families died, the lineage seemed to have disappeared.

“I’ve only heard about it, but it’s the first time I’ve actually met Her Highness the Crown Princess. It’s very likely that Your Highness’ brothers have the same powers, so I’d like to meet them….”

Cecil held out his palm to stop his words as he continued in an excited tone. Then he looked at Rowena.

“Then can I drive out the curse that the Emperor has received?”

“That is…”

Rowena’s question seemed to embarrass the High Priest. It was not unreasonable for the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince to have such expectations.

“It may be possible if you take time… I heard that ‘Shield of God’ is the power to defend and drive out, but it is difficult to drive out the curse that is already in place.”

Many royal families married the lineage that was passed on from the girl. They were against a lot of grudges, and because of that they were cursed, so they hoped to be safe.

“I see.”

It was a calm voice, but Rowena quietly held Cecil’s hand. Cecil smiled faintly at her. The odds were slim. It was better than nothing.

The High Priest added various explanations as to whether he was glad that the lineage had reappeared in the world, and that she was even a princess.

However, because it is the power received from God, it is said that the bloodline often disappears when it commits evil acts, such as serious crimes that violate humanity or heaven.

‘Then the eldest son of Adelia will not have it.’

Cecil was convinced that it was a force that had descended from Rowena’s maternal lineage.

“Rowena…”

The conversation from now on was something that Rowena didn’t want to know. He’ll tell her everything afterwards, but he couldn’t do it right away.

It is all the more so that she has the bloodline of “Shield of God” and has the power to fight against the Demon Tribe.

‘I can’t let Rowena get in on a dangerous thing.’

Even when she didn’t know she had power, she didn’t care about herself to help her friend. Now that she was married to him, he didn’t know what kind of danger she would throw herself in, knowing the emperor was at risk.

Cecil didn’t want that.

Fortunately, Rowena was not involved in or very interested in Cecil’s state administration. So before coming here, he gave Rowena a word in advance.

That he has something to discuss with the High Priest, so she please leave her seat when the right moment comes.

Rowena, who had already heard the word “Shield of God” and had her attention shifted to the emperor’s curse, was only eager to leave this position.

She thought her power might be useful for the emperor’s curse.

She was told by the High Priest that it was difficult, but she could try it.

“I’m afraid you’ll be talking for a long time, so I’ll leave my seat.”

Cecil took Rowena’s hand, who stood up coolly. As if it were regrettable, the High Priest looked at her with a different mind than before.

The Crown Princess would not make a beneficial choice for the denomination, even if she was a “Shield of God,” but it was a pleasure that the lineage was still alive. Also, it was very welcoming for the church to have the blood flow back into the royal family.

Unlike before, instead of talking with a happy face, Cecil felt a little twisted.

Rowena was completely her own, but he had a hunch that the church would unreasonably insist on their connection.
