The road from the city gate to the palace was covered with flowers, and the cheers of people on both sides set off one wave after another.

Just like welcoming a victorious hero, Miss Tina's name kept echoing throughout the royal city.

But compared to these excited civilians, the nobles in front of the palace looked depressed...

"Miss Tina went to the Tower of Hope?"

In front of the Ogilia Palace, Dupin and Goethe, who had followed Gianna's arrangement and had been waiting at the entrance of the palace early, suddenly felt at a loss.

According to the order sent by Queen Jaina from the White Night Empire, the nobles of the kingdom's count and above were waiting here early in the morning. The swords and ritual utensils prepared for the ceremony were also rummaged from the royal family's warehouse early in the morning.

Found it.

But the captain of the honor guard who had just greeted him came to report that Miss Tina, who was hailed as a national hero, and Miss Sylvie, the Queen's first maid, did not follow the planned route...

“What the hell!

Do they regard the royal canonization ceremony as child's play?"

Prince Goethe's eyes widened and his expression suddenly darkened.

Although Tina died for Jaina and created the most necessary conditions for the restoration of Ogilia, from Goethe's perspective, those things were almost natural as a scapegoat.

"I think... Miss Tina must have a reason why she must go.

Don’t forget Her Majesty Jaina’s instructions, and after the ceremony, she will no longer be the scapegoat.”

Karl, the only one at the scene who knew the inside story, strolled over, smiled and comforted Goethe with a few words.

But facing the return of the woman he once loved most, he seemed a little dull, even confused...

Ever since the fake Jaina regained Ogilia and left for the Klea Alliance, Karl has been struggling with a problem.

Who do you like?

When they first met in Wangcheng many years ago, he was attracted by Princess Jaina's beauty and kindness, and fell into a state where he couldn't extricate himself.

He was heartbroken when Jaina died for his country, so he sacrificed his territory for her and ran around fighting to avenge her.

But then, the girl who replaced Gianna and fulfilled her wish to restore the country made him lost again...

Although the two look almost exactly the same...

But she is not the shadow of Her Highness the Princess...

Carl understands this very well!

That is a completely different feeling from the innocent and kind-hearted Princess...

Courageous, powerful, cunning, willful, and a little evil.

If he had been attracted by the beauty and kindness of Her Highness the Princess...

Now Her Majesty the Queen relies on her personal charm to make him surrender and bow down...

Forgetting his former true love, he fell in love with a girl who looked exactly like her, which gave Carl the illusion of being unfaithful to Her Royal Highness and a deep sense of guilt.

But he wants to expel the princess whom he is obsessed with from his mind and consciousness...

It seems impossible...

Karl was in a trance and fell into a difficult decision.

But Prince Goethe, who was already impatient with waiting, could not sit still.

"There's still an hour left, but that's okay!"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Goethe forced out an ugly smile.

"Since our national heroes don't like to be canonized in front of the palace, then we should go to the Tower of Hope!"

The angry Prince Goethe walked sullenly towards the white tower in the center of the city, and his complaints finally brought Karl back to his senses.

Looking at the noble team that had started moving, and Dupin and Arrent walking behind Goethe, he smiled bitterly and followed slowly...

…

…

In the center of Ogilia, a towering white tower is the landmark building here.

But this giant tower that has stood for hundreds of years, once represented the goddess of light and symbolized the divine power of the church, but was overturned twice in Jaina's hands, is no longer what the princess recognizes.

"Here...is this the Tower of Light?"

Accompanied by little Sylvie, she followed Sovia to Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was on the top floor of the Light Tower. She rubbed her eyes vigorously, looking like she couldn't believe it.

Although she has been sleeping for two years, as the princess of Ogilia, she is still relatively familiar with the Tower of Light in the royal city.

With monthly prayers and half-yearly blessing ceremonies, she has climbed this majestic holy tower of light nearly a hundred times.

But the current situation makes her a little confused...

"This...is my statue?"

Looking at the familiar statue standing in the center of the room where the statue of the Goddess of Light should have been, the princess felt a little dizzy.

"It's Your Highness Jaina~

Of course, the appearance is almost exactly the same, but more mature~"

As if she thought she might be mistaken, Sofia smiled and pointed at the stone statue carved one-to-one according to Jaina's figure.

At this moment, even little Sylvie looked a little surprised.

You know, this is the Tower of Light. According to the rules of Ookland, only the statue of the Goddess of Light can be placed here.

"That's what the Archbishop of Yale means~"

After understanding the expressions of the two of them, Sophia raised her little face and looked quite proud.

"The strength of the empire, the loneliness of the church!

All this means that the goddess of light is no longer looking after the people of Ogilia, and the tragedy in the royal city has made us understand this."

With her hands on her hips and her little face flushed with excitement, Sophia looked at the statue devoutly, her eyes full of awe and yearning.

"Goddess of Hope, Your Majesty Jaina!

A warm smile guides the confused Ogilia people!

The soft voice comforts all survivors of disaster!

Sharp eyes detect all conspiracies and evil in the world!

The radiance of holiness can dispel the haze of fear and disaster!"

In the melodious and sweet tones, the hymn written by an unknown person made the singer Sophia intoxicated.

"Goddess of hope!

My master!"

As if feeling the same thing, little Sylvie happily held her hands in her hands and stood devoutly beside Sophia.

Although she could not understand the mood of Sofia and the people of Ogilia, the little girl knew Jaina's character and strength. From the moment she was rescued by Jaina and walked out of the Black Forest, she had already transformed the eccentric Queen into

Become your own goddess.

"Tower of Hope~

This is what the people of Ogilia call this place!

And the powerful, kind, beautiful, wise Queen who saved the people of Ogilia is the goddess of hope!

When the goddess of light abandoned this land for unknown reasons, the benevolent goddess of hope came and smiled and extended an olive branch to the suffering Ogilia!"

Slowly turning her head, holding her clasped hands religiously, Sofia seemed to have little stars twinkling in her eyes.

"Goddess of Hope..."

Seemingly understanding something, the princess nodded vigorously, but she felt a little jealous in her heart.

It's not jealousy, nor unwillingness, just pure envy.

Thinking of Jaina's current achievements and herself at this moment, the princess secretly clenched her fists and her face slowly became serious.

"Miss Tina, you should go to the Kingdom of Klia~"

Not noticing her micro-expression, Sophia, who was already in a state of excitement, spoke faster and faster.

"There, there is a tower of hope!

Her Majesty Jaina single-handedly defeated evil, dispelled the curse, and saved the Alliance!

The Archbishop of Cologne has proposed to name the former City of Death the City of Hope, and a statue of His Majesty has also been erected there!

The Church recognizes and supports His Majesty’s policy of diocesan self-control!

The brilliance of the Saint of Light has far surpassed the brilliance of the goddess!

Lord Savory, the Holy Light Knight, has pledged his allegiance to His Majesty!

The name of the Goddess of Hope has already resounded throughout the Kingdom of Klia!"
