In the Tressia Parish of the Holy Empire of Yuras.0

Kristina had grown up in a remote monastery located in this parish. She had been abandoned at the gates of the monastery as an infant, taken in by the priests, before being adopted by Cardinal Sergio Rogeris when she was ten years old.0

From the moment she was abandoned at the monastery and taken in by the priests, Kristina’s future had been set on the path towards priesthood. A major turning point that had altered this future was her becoming the adopted daughter of Cardinal Sergio Rogeris. Since her adoptive father was an extraordinary priest who had even risen to the high position of a Cardinal, there was no way that Kristina could be just another ordinary priest either. 0

With each year that she grew older, Kristina’s appearance increasingly resembled that of the Saint, the Faithful Anise, whose name had left its mark in history. The parishioners who visited the cathedral would even whisper that young Kristina seemed to be the Second Coming of the Saint.0

So naturally, Kristina had set her sights on becoming her generation’s Saint. This might not truly have been a product of Kristina’s will, but the young Kristina could not refuse the expectations and prayers of the people around her. Kristina had received personal lessons in theology from Sergio Rogeris before being taken to the Fount of Light, where Saints and Saint Candidates had performed rituals throughout history, and after becoming a proper Saint Candidate, she had been assigned to the Alcarte Parish, a place which could be called the frontline in the spread of the teachings of the Light.0

Now she knew the truth.0

It was by no means a coincidence that Kristina had been adopted by Cardinal Sergio. Kristina’s appearance gradually growing to resemble that of the Faithful Anise also wasn’t a coincidence. 0
