“Your Highness Yuna means… a divine miracle?”

 

“That’s one way to look at it.”

 

“Oh… this is really…”

 

As Violet listened to the intense discussion between the two sides about the reasons and significance of the “miracle” and the omens the goddess might be sending to her followers, she felt a mix of confusion and frustration.

 

There’s no such thing as “incomprehensible deep prophecies” or “omens and revelations from the arrival of the fish!”

 

It’s just that someone had never seen fish called Flying Star Fish before, and didn’t expect that these dimwits would react to a creature with high light affinity as if they were on steroids, coming out in droves to witness it. If she had known, she should have worn the 【Dominion of the Fox Mask】 that hides her aura before entering the Holy Empire!

 

Although she wanted to say something to show she was involved, Violet struggled to find a suitable topic, but every time she tried, the Saintess spoke so quickly, like a machine gun, that she was drowned out.

 

In the end, she had no choice but to remain silent and play dead. Anyway, with the mask on, her expressions were hidden, and the previous discussion was mostly driven by the Diviner and Yuna, with her occasional comments being minor. Hopefully, she wouldn’t be suspected of being uneasy.

 

Then, the Saintess delivered another blow to the anxious Violet.

 

“By the way, the main reason for bringing up this matter is actually to use your Chamber’s intelligence capabilities to ask Mr. Diviner for help in finding someone.”

 

Mr. Diviner stroked his beard and nodded.

 

“That is not difficult. May I ask for any specific characteristics or illustrations?”

 

A sense of foreboding suddenly struck Violet, who was trying to stay silent.

 

“Naturally, there is. Please take a look at this image.”

 

Yuna took out a cylindrical container from the six-winged emblem on her chest, opened it, and spread the rolled-up parchment on the crystal panel in front of her. Since there was a fox lady in between, she handed it directly to Violet, who… had no choice but to take it.

 

On the parchment was a drawing of a girl.

 

She wore a pure white robe, and her black hair flowed down her back like a long waterfall. Her silver-blue eyes sparkled with a mix of slyness and an ungraspable, sacred light, making the person holding the drawing nearly throw it away in disbelief.

 

Damn! This is outrageous! She had changed her identity shortly after entering the Holy Empire, so where did the Bright Light Saintess get this information?

 

In her ear, Yuna’s elegant and pure explanation followed.

 

“After receiving the news from the Star River, the higher-ups of the Holy Council were alarmed. After an urgent consultation, it was decided that I, who am in Bright Light City and closest to the incident, should investigate. Through the tireless efforts of the 【Knights Templars】, we eventually identified the target.”

 

“According to the old boatman at that time, besides him, there were five other young and lovely girls on the boat. However, he said the only one who could have attracted so many Starfish was the girl in the white robe in the drawing.”

 

“According to his recollection, the noble aura of purity that emanated from her was almost unparalleled in his life. Even when she suddenly left, the boatman vaguely saw that she had grown magnificent, pure white wings that were entirely different from those of winged beings.”

 

“According to the old man’s description, the 【Knights Templars】 has redrawn her appearance. Although there might be some discrepancies, it should be of reference value.”

 

“Well…”

 

After receiving the image passed over by the silent white fox lady, the old man studied it carefully for a moment before suddenly asking.

 

“By the way, Miss Dawn, how do you view this matter?”

 

“…Huh?”

 

The Bright Light Saintess on the other side also nodded in agreement.

 

“Yes, yes, I’m quite curious as well. Since Miss Dawn has been silent all this time, she must have a completely different perspective on this issue, right?”

 

“To be honest, the Church is still having intense discussions about this matter and has yet to reach a clear consensus on the identity of this woman in the white robe. Although this is our first meeting and we do not know each other well, since Mr. Diviner is willing to treat Miss Dawn with such courtesy, it shows that you must have extraordinary insight. Given the significance of this matter, I would like to gather as many different opinions as possible, even if just for reference.”

 

The pure and noble saintess smiled slightly and sincerely posed the question.

 

“May I ask, Miss Dawn, who do you think the woman in the picture is, and what could be the deeper meaning behind her sudden disappearance after causing such a stir?”

 

“Ah, well…”

 

Attempting to mask her embarrassment with a few affected coughs, Violet pondered for a moment and could only tentatively respond.

 

“I mean, is there a possibility that she might have just been passing by by chance and, not being familiar with the area, accidentally caused such a commotion? Hmm… and the reason you haven’t been able to find this mysterious woman is that she might have been embarrassed or didn’t want to cause more trouble for the Holy Empire, so she left on her own?”

 

“…?”

 

Upon hearing this, Yuna tilted her head in confusion, while the old man only stroked his beard lightly and smiled without speaking.

 

In the end, the Saintess could only show a polite yet awkward smile and shake her head helplessly.

 

“I see, indeed a very unique perspective. Miss Dawn’s thinking is truly different from the norm…”

 

“I must admit, what you said does make some sense, but I still believe that an existence capable of causing such an unprecedented resonance with the shooting stars would not make such a trivial mistake. She must have had a reason for not truly revealing herself and intended to use this to remind or warn us about something.”

 

“Hmm, I share the same view. Although the divination did not predict the arrival of such an existence, this precisely indicates that her origin is extraordinary. Such a strong figure would not make meaningless moves, no wonder Her highness Yuna has recently accelerated the progress of her plans…”

 

After smoothly bypassing the person’s major blunder, the old man put away the image handed to him by Yuna and, as if with some concern, asked:

 

“By the way, since there were a total of five people on the boat, why didn’t the 【Knights Templars】 draw their appearances for further searching? It would make the target more clear, wouldn’t it? Could there be some taboo I am unaware of?”

 

‘Hey, old man, stop giving others advice, you bastard!’ Although she was cursing the old president in her mind, Miss White Fox maintained a calm and indifferent demeanor on the surface and even nodded in agreement.

 

“Well, about that…”

 

The saintess slightly nodded.

 

“The knights initially did plan to do that, but the boatman was just an ordinary human and very elderly. He ferries many tourists across the starry river every day, and there are countless unusual creatures he encounters, so he doesn’t remember many details. Moreover, the incident had greatly shocked him. When asked, the old man could only provide a rough description of the most memorable woman and vague terms like ‘white wings like an angel.’”

 

“I see… That’s reasonable, after all, it was just a brief encounter.”

 

“Indeed, it’s a bit of a pity.”

 

Although she said this, Miss White Fox was actually secretly relieved and almost wanted to clap her hands.

 

Luckily, the old man she had chosen back then was extremely wise!

 

If they had followed the trail and discovered that “The person they were searching for actually didn’t think about anything, just stood on the boat, and attracted a large number of fish to watch,” it would be so embarrassing…

 

The dignified image she had painstakingly built would be completely ruined!
