Candidates ran around giving speeches, making big promises:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will make sure everyone is equal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All students will have the same rights!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No more unfair rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blah blah blah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them said the same sweet things to get votes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one candidate was completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina Valentina kept saying the same thing over and over in every speech:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are inferior. I am superior. Don’t feel bad about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the superior one, I will protect all you inferior ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said it with her chin high, eyes half-closed, and that tiny proud smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of her super arrogant words, almost nobody wanted to vote for her anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the final list of candidates came out, only two names really stood out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alia Ruth and Rosalina Valentina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Rosalina’s speeches, people started turning away from her fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s too full of herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way I’m voting for someone who calls us inferior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Rosalina got pushed aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right at that moment, Zenifar Rose stepped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was kind, smart, always smiling, and said all the right things about equality and fairness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, it looked like only two real candidates were left: Alia Ruth and Zenifar Rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina? Most people had already written her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, far away in the Holy Empire...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The huge Church of Goddess Benigore was buzzing with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few days ago, shocking news had spread like wildfire:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After 500 long years, someone was finally taking the Saint Trial again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person? Uriel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole empire was in a festive mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bells rang all day. People prayed in the streets. Flowers and lights decorated every corner of the grand cathedral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Pope’s private meeting room, a round table was surrounded by important people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cardinal Raphael sat on one side. Bishops and archbishops filled the other chairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center sat the Pope herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She listened quietly, a small, worried smile on her gentle face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Holiness,\" Cardinal Raphael said in a calm but serious voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know exactly what you’re worried about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the Saint Trial, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what we do... there will be interference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope sighed and rubbed her temple slowly. Her gentle face looked tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You are right, Cardinal Raphael.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The problem is... during the Saint Trial, we aren’t allowed to fight. Only the paladins are allowed to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke softly, but everyone in the room felt the weight of her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was a rule set long ago, even before the first Saint Trial. Back then, the three floating continents were united.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ancient families, like Hayes, Thorne, and Valentina, helped guard against any attacks or interference. They stood together to protect the trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope paused and looked around the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now... because of peace, those families stay in their own territories. They don’t come out anymore. So we can’t count on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bishops and archbishops nodded quietly. The room felt heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, Your Holiness,\" Cardinal Raphael said in a calm, strong voice. He leaned forward a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The paladins are strong. Our commander just passed his 4th Heavenly Trial.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s one of the best we’ve ever had. I’m sure we can protect the Saint Trial from any invasion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled to comfort her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archbishop Seren spoke next. She rested her chin on her hand, thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the royal family said they would send the commander of the Holy Knights too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we will have the best paladins and the Holy Knights together. That should be enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope looked at them both. Her worried smile softened just a tiny bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I hope so,\" she whispered. \"Uriel must pass this trial. After 500 years... the Goddess has chosen again. We cannot fail her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are right. We must see this through,\" Cardinal Raphael agreed, his voice firm. \"We can’t let any disturbance happen, no matter what.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward, eyes serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what we must do is protect the Saint Trial. I’m sure the devil worshippers will definitely try to intervene. So we have to stop them at any cost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed,\" Archbishop Aurin spoke up. He folded his hands calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as we pass the trial and Uriel becomes a saint... then we can find those hidden evil ones and take care of them without much effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the others nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agreed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room filled with quiet agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short silence, the Pope stood up slowly. Her gentle face turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, everyone. The meeting ends here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now go prepare for the trial. We don’t have much time. It’s just 15 days away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bishops and archbishops rose from their seats at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bowed deeply toward the Pope, then walked out one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their footsteps echoed softly in the grand room until the heavy doors closed behind the last one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cardinal Raphael was about to stand too when the Pope spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cardinal Raphael... you may stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cardinal Raphael stopped midway as he glanced at the Pope, then respectfully nodded,\"Yes, Your Holiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the room was completely empty, the Pope sank back into her chair. She rubbed her temple again, looking tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you sent all the invitations?\" she asked quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I have,\" Cardinal Raphael answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I sent three to the Royal Arcane Academy... and two to each of the ancient clans across the three floating continents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a small sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know about the ancient families, they’ve been silent for so long. But the academy... they will surely come. After all, they still owe us for that day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\" The Pope hummed softly. She leaned back in her chair, eyes half-closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope everything goes well...\" she murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her soft eyes slowly sharpened. A cold, dark light filled them, pure killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And once Uriel becomes a saint...\" she said, voice low and dangerous, \"I promise... I will massacre all these evil ones hiding in the empire!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden light deep in the cathedral pulsed once, brighter and fiercer, like it answered her vow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cardinal Raphael didn’t flinch. He only bowed his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you wish, Your Holiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1062,"2026-06-10T05:56:21.839Z",1,"novelbin.me","85519ef24e78ba4bf2563254d507339c6894a2adf69553aecf0ab9a197d221d4","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-49","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-47",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
