134. The eternal frozen lake

That day should be joyous – as it was the day that the new Saintess would make her first appearance to the public. However, only those who were ignorant of the past were the ones celebrating.

White and gold banners are hung from buildings' façade and roofs, greeting the new light of their nation. Children were excited, running along the path to the Entrance Pavilion, tagging their guardians with them. They sang praises, oblivious to the very reason why a new Saintess appeared.

On the other hand, adults were aware. Thus, they couldn't really feel the joyful atmosphere. When the news that the former Saintess was heavily injured and had lost her powers, they all grieved. But not long after, a new one appeared. That was why they were all conflicted.
