Section III
Dejected, I returned to the Holy Region. Why did he go back? I don't know. Perhaps, other than the Holy Region, I have nowhere else to go. He put on his mask again and began to do all kinds of trivial work for the Pope.
Every day, when my work was done, I would hide at the side and secretly daydream, secretly thinking about him.
When flowers bloom in the Holy Region, I will think of him. When the sun shines brightly in the Holy Region, I will think of him. When the Sacred Zone is singing and dancing, I will think of him. When the Holy Region was covered in ice and snow, I would also think of him.
When I was bathing, I often froze and involuntarily wrote his name on the steamy wall.
Saga…Saga, who are you? Why are you avoiding me?
While no one was paying attention, I began my investigation.
Saga was a Gemini Gold Saint. He had long sky-blue hair and the appearance of a god. He was known as the incarnation of a god. A few months before I entered the Saint-level, he suddenly disappeared.
A dignified Gold Saint? It was said that it had the speed of light. He had such great power. Why was he so sad? Why did he not want to come into contact with anyone?
I continued to search for Saga's whereabouts, and I realized that other than me, many people in the Holy Region were also looking for him.
"Saga was as radiant as the sun. It's such a pity that he suddenly disappeared.”
"Brother Saga is very strong. No one can defeat him. He must be hiding to cultivate and preparing to deal with some enemy.”
"Saga will protect our Sanctum. When evil descends upon the Sanctum, Saga will definitely appear!”
Everyone…trusted him so much, loved him so much, and he couldn't possibly have committed any major crimes. So, why did he hide?
I wrote down everything I had gathered about Saga.
An interesting incident when he was three years old. He was brave when he was five, smart when he was six, and helpful when he was seven…
The more I investigated, the more I realized that his heart was as clear as the Aegean Sea.
He was really a very good and gentle person.
Then, why was he so sad?
Saga, I want to see you. Saga…
Every morning, when I prepare breakfast for the Pope, I think, if only I could prepare breakfast for Saga and let him enjoy my breakfast happily. I will never be lazy. I will learn all the ways to make breakfast and put my heart into it. Every morning, when I watched the Pope deal with all the important matters in the Holy Region, I would think that it would be great if I could accompany Saga and let him deal with all the matters in high spirits. I would definitely not make any noise and would just quietly watch from the side, secretly keeping his every move in my heart. Every afternoon, when I accompanied the Pope to patrol the Holy Region, I would think that if I could follow Saga and watch him receive great praise from everyone, I would definitely not be jealous. I would watch him from afar and feel his every frown and smile…
Saga, why are you avoiding me? Even if you are a heaven-defying sinner, even if you commit the greatest sin, I will not blame you or hate you. I won't pester you, I won't desire you, just let me share your sadness, your joy, your anger, your sorrow…I think that's enough…
Saga…
The days passed, but Saga still didn't appear. I hated the Pope more and more.
In fact, there was nothing to hate about the Pope. On the contrary, he brought peace to the Holy Region because he was very powerful. But to me, he is the murderer who imprisoned my youth.
Doing trivial things and serving him unwillingly, this is my life.
Sometimes I wonder if I'll be sent back if the Pope dies. Will I be free?
Secretly, I cursed the Pope.
Another three years passed, and I was almost eighteen.
Strangely enough, although I worked hard all day, my body became fit and healthy, and the freckles on my face disappeared.
At this moment, although I can't be considered a peerless beauty, I'm already somewhat beautiful.
If I go to see Saga now, will he…No, he won't despise me, even if I'm ugly. He's such a gentle person…
My investigation is getting more and more fruitful. I found out that Saga had parents and a younger brother. However, his younger brother could not compare to him. As for Saga's whereabouts, the last clue seemed to be on the night he went to see the Pope.
Then, could Saga's disappearance be related to the Pope? Could it be…that the Pope had harmed Saga?
Recently, the Pope had become more and more mysterious and strange. He would often bathe in the Holy Church and would not come out all day. Even some of the people who served him had disappeared.
Unknowingly, I spent more time observing the Pope than before.
In the past, I didn't dare to look at him too much, afraid of his intimidating majesty. When I looked at him, I always felt that I was looking at a cold and arrogant person, a lonely and persistent person.
I think that such a person would definitely not hesitate to kill people.
I'm afraid, but now, I have to see it! I want to find out Saga's whereabouts from him!
"Persefin, you can rest after cleaning the Pope's Palace.”
Is that so? But do you know that today is my eighteenth birthday? In our Caucasus Mountain, an eighteen-year-old girl can get married.
There was no one in the quiet Pope's Palace, only the ticking of the ancient clock. As I swept, I climbed up the Pope's steps and stood in front of the Pope's chair, that high and mighty chair.
A cold breeze blew past. I couldn't help shrinking.
"It's so cold!" Why was the Pope's chair so cold?
Suddenly, a golden light shone from under the chair.
What was it? As if it was the temptation of the devil, I subconsciously opened the Pope's seat and found something.
Golden sword!
The flickering light covered my eyes, and the sword's cry made me lose all rationality. When I grabbed the sword, I was suddenly filled with courage.
I want to see the Pope, I want to question him, where is Saga!
At that time, the Pope was taking a bath, and the Pope's bath was forbidden. But I disregarded everything and charged in.
I opened one curtain, then another. The red curtain rolled up and down like a boiling sea of blood. Thus, I barged in!
"Pope, tell me! Saga…"
In the hazy mist, that person stood up. His body was as smooth as ivory. It was the highest work of art created by God, an existence that even the Goddess of Beauty was jealous of…
But he had his back to me, so I couldn't see his face clearly.
"Pope, tell me! Where is Saga?"
"You…actually barged in!"
"Let's go! Hurry up and leave!"
Two completely different voices came from his body at the same time. He seemed to have encountered some kind of pain and suddenly bent down.
Hmph, you still want to avoid it!
I raised my golden sword high up without any fear and rushed in front of him. The golden sword was pointed at his neck…
With a splash, the golden sword fell into the water.
The person in front of him…was actually him. It was him, Saga.
Saga, the Pope in the bath, Saga, the Pope in the bath, so the Pope I hate is Saga…
So the person I've been serving is Saga…
A huge sense of happiness surged into my heart.
God, thank you. It turns out that I've always been by his side, serving him every day.
Every morning, I prepare breakfast for Saga so that he can enjoy it happily. Every morning, I would accompany Saga to deal with major and minor matters in the Holy Region. Every afternoon, I would follow Saga to patrol the Holy Region…His every move, every frown, and every smile, had always been in my eyes…
"Saga!" I pounced. I grabbed his hand. However, his hands were no longer warm. What was going on? He was changing…
Her gentle blue hair slowly turned into unfathomable black hair, and her clear and bright eyes turned red in an instant.
It was like an angry dragon whose reverse scale had been violated!
"Those who see my appearance and body must not live!”He laughed and raised his fist.
It turned out that those people had gone missing just like that. I closed my eyes.
I spent five years by his side and served him for five years. However, I didn't cherish him. I even hated him and cursed him…
The book said that the furthest distance in the world was not between life and death, but when the person I love was in front of me, but he did not know that I loved him.
And I didn't even know it was him…
A powerful light instantly covered my body. What a beautiful radiance. It was like the stars in the Milky Way exploding all of a sudden, turning into endless tears of stars.
Goodbye, Saga…
