I Became the Fiancé of a Crazy Heroine

The Cathedral of the Kinessian Divine Church. The Holy Water Production Room.

The Kinessian Divine Church is located throughout the Alain Kingdom, with the purpose of spreading the kindness and holiness of the goddess.

For many years, the Alain Kingdom received much help from them, and they were recognized as a religion and a powerful force by the first king, and they trained paladins on a large scale.

Since then, the Kinessian Divine Church has expanded its influence and taught the teachings of the goddess to many people, and has made great contributions to preserving troops and subjugating demons.

Their Holy Art was able to heal wounds and purify impurities, making it a great contribution to the preservation of troops and the subjugation of demons and monsters.

‘It’s quite big. They must be able to spend a lot of money.’

Sion was walking around the interior of the cathedral with the commander of the paladins.

The cathedral located in the capital, was larger than he had expected, and many paladins and nobles were coming and going.

Other churches or cathedrals in other regions may not have the same size. But with the support of a lot of funds, it was no less than the noble families.

‘Is the White Apostle here?’

The White Apostle.

One of the Kinessian Divine Church’s high priests and a member of the Setinos Quasar.

The high priest was the second highest rank after the pope, and as such, had an exceptional ability to wield the Holy Art.

Among them, the White Apostle had overwhelming power, and there was a rumor that she could even resurrect the dead.

‘I probably won’t be meeting any other Querisa.’

Setinos Quasar.

The knights representing the Alain Kingdom, and a title given only to those with great strength and accomplishments.

Composed of five members, the White Apostle was one of them.

As direct knights of the king, they were given command authority and could command the troops of the Alain Kingdom in case of emergency.

‘I have to get the holy water before the white apostle leaves.’

Holy water could only be made when one reached a certain level in their ‘Sacred Magic’.

Of course, ordinary paladins couldn’t even touch it, and even the commander of the paladins had to reach a certain level.

The Pope was the head of the Kinessian Divine Church, but in reality, he was closer to an honorary position than a superior. His skills may have been inferior to those of a deacon.

‘The position is not important. What matters is the white apostle.’

Sion knew about the secret that the white apostle was hiding. It was related to why he was here at the cathedral and was also part of his true purpose.

That’s why he needed to get the holy water from the white apostle in advance, and persuade her later to establish an alliance.

‘The white apostle is not human. But also, human.’

Sion didn’t completely deny his contradictory thoughts. In this world, even that contradiction could become the truth.

This world itself did not originally exist, but now it exists as another reality.

‘There is no other way but to go through the proper process to get the holy water.’

Once the white apostle left, she would not return to the Kinessian Divine Church. Even if they met later, she would not easily make holy water.

She had a purpose to accomplish, and she couldn’t waste her energy on unnecessary things.

‘If I were the protagonist, it would have been a little easier. She would have made the holy water for me without any cost.’

The white apostle follows the protagonist after recognizing his qualities. At this point, Hanette also joins the protagonist, and other companions reveal themselves one after another.

As a result, the protagonist establishes a knighthood with them, wandering around remote areas and fighting countless demons and monsters.

‘The protagonist is impressive.’

The protagonist at the time had excellent swordsmanship skills at a young age of 20. In addition, he could handle the magic sword Nailing, so he could easily defeat most enemies.

With capable companions joining the knighthood, as well as the white apostle and Hanette, they were undefeatable in any battle.

‘I’m not even half as good as they are, so that’s why I’m struggling like this.’ Sion thought, not lamenting while laughing at himself.

Difficult tasks were for heroes and strong people, and he only took on easy and simple tasks.

If he could use Exceed Rain properly, he could lead a prosperous life, even if not as much as the protagonist.

‘I made some money, but… a lot of it went in. It must be because of the name value.’

Other cardinals could also make holy water, but wealthy nobles mainly appointed white apostle.

Setinos Quasar appointed by the king, was the best and most famous among the current cardinals.

Of course, although the price was the same on the surface, they paid extra money to get holy water first.

‘I wish I had more money. Or I wouldn’t be struggling like this.’

“Could you wait for a moment?” asked the commander of the paladins, stopping in front of the door and asking for permission.

Sion nodded quietly and watched.

The commander of the paladins humbly knocked on the door and slowly opened it.

“Cardinal Selena, there’s a guest waiting for you.”

“…Let them in.”

“You may enter.”

As the commander of the paladins stepped aside, Sion immediately walked inside.

In the room, there was one table and two chairs neatly arranged.

On the other side stood a woman wearing the attire of the church robes.

“Nice to meet you. I am Enrite Selena, who serves Goddess Kinessian and upholds her will.”

Enrite Selena, a Cardinal of the Kinessian Divine Church and a White Apostle, greeted Sion with her unique greeting.

Platinum-colored hair shining calmly, light yellow irises that felt warm, as if emitting heat, and a cold, expressionless impression.

Sion was convinced that she was the one and politely bowed his head.

“I am Sion Laird.”

“Before preparing the Holy Water, may I ask what you will be using it for?”

“I want to drink it myself to purify my body.”

Sion spoke a half-truth with a serious expression.

The Holy Water contained the power of the Holy Art, so if consumed, its effects could be absorbed by the body. However, its efficacy was lower than that of the paladins’ direct treatment, and in reality, Holy Water was only used symbolically.

“I will fulfill Sion Laird’s desire in the Holy Water. Would you please have a seat?”

Enrite gestured to where the chair was located with ceremonial words.

Sion sat on the chair with the bowl on the table in front of him, observing the ritual.

“Our paladins have removed impurities. Now, I will infuse it with my magic to turn it into Holy Water. Please watch carefully and confirm that there are no problems.”

“Understood.”

Enrite replied and placed both hands on the bowl.

The golden bowl contained ordinary-looking water.

‘Even though it’s troublesome, it’s better to confirm it myself. It’s useless to complain about being scammed later.’

Sion swallowed his silence, staring only at the bowl.

The golden magic flowed into the bowl through Enrite’s hands.

Then, the surface of the water began to shake slightly, and it started to emit a faint light.

‘To wield Exceed Rain, you must have El Tesoikve’s magic in your body…’

To completely counteract the magic corrosion of Exceed Rain, there must be a magic opposite to it.

Since El Tesoikve was the opposite of Exceed Rain, its magic also had the same effect.

Therefore, after drinking the Holy Water, it would be able to resist the magic corrosion of Exceed Rain.

‘The White Apostle is a heroine, but… it’s also a magic sword. It’s a holy sword of light turned into a human.’
