Chapter 6 : Blur

The days are starting to blur together.

I am slowly adjusting to my new normal. After that day, where they threw buttloads of responsibilities at me and I was suddenly stuck in a cathedral/monastery/church with no way out.

Meaning, I can't go home with my family.

Luckily, Irene and Sheri were stubborn on staying with me so they added a wing next to mine for my family.

I love my abode. My bath. Sigh. It magic, and no, not because of the fact that a goddess made it. It's pure heaven. The temperature is prefect and the water changes from time to time; if I'm feeling like a bubble bath, the bath would have the BIGGEST bubbles! Mud baths, rose water, hot spring...I could go on and on about the magical baths I've had.

And the goddess, Aphrite knows exactly what I like in clothing. If I want to dress up in robes and dresses (don't tell anyone but in my past life I had a secret obsession with girl clothes. I loved to dress up but I stopped after my half brother Beau secretly took photos and plastered them on nearly every surface at school.) or skirts I can and no one will judge me. I can wear heels and jewelry and if I'm feeling like wearing men's clothes, she has all my favorite preferences, like if I want to be emo, I have a black section, and if I want to dress up like in a certain decade she has things labeled. There's even a cosplay section! I'm starting to like this goddess.

And my kitchen is magic. Whatever I'm craving just somehow appears in my kitchen! If I want authentic Japanese ramen it shows up; if I want lobster or Ben and Jerry's ice cream it there; if I want pasta from Italy it's there. It's amazing!

I've slowly started learning about what I have to do as Pope. My main task is Healing people. And no, it's not like those corrupt countries in novels where the Pope only heals nobility and the like. No. We have a section in the back of the church for commoners and the homeless to come and get healed. So I've spent a lot of time learning about the world and healing others. I can even grow back arms and legs!

It's like this wave of cool air flowing out of me and into them. Suddenly, I can see all that's wrong with them! And I can heal it! No matter what it is!

Next is meeting the officials and nobles and royalty. This is the holy country, but I was surprised to learn that the Pope doesn't just rule this country. He rules all under the goddess Aphrite. It's heady power but I don't want it. Maybe that's why she felt it was safe to give me this life. She knows I would've been perfectly happy with my lot in the manor with Sheri and Irene.

I haven't met that golden haired boy again.

I'm curious about him.

Maybe I'll see him again.

We have a problem.

A BIG problem.

I have a fiancée.

I mean it's not like I didn't expect one at some point, but there's a few problems;

1) it's a girl.

As I've stated, I don't know what I am or who and what I'm attracted to but I know I don't exactly like girls.

2) I've recently learned this is the world of a game. A romance game. Euck.

3) My fiancée is the villainess of the otome game.

The otome game was called "I wish I could have you", it was a very popular game and I only know of it because Beau played it. I, Antonio the Pope, was one of the popular capture targets. The heroine was a small noble, basically a commoner, who somehow got a scholarship to the most prestigious noble school in the holy nation.

The other capture targets were;

Arthur Krupp, The next captain of the Royal nights.

Daniel Savataar, a duke's son.

And Eugene Forester, the second prince.

There was even a female capture target if you progress far enough down Arthur's route.

My sister.

There were a few hidden capture targets, that I knew, but I didn't know what they looked like or who they were. I died before they came out with the specs.

I need to break this engagement.

Goddess, how dare you.
