My Past Lives' Regrets

Arc 6 Chapter 6.3 ( The little mermaid and the Marshal )

Note : The story is only fictional .

In a hazy dream , a blonde haired man could be seen piously kneeling and praying in front of the statue of a god . The man's long blonde hair exudes a holy presence that could make anyone who saw him feel that he is not supposed to be sullied or blasphemed .

The long fan shaped lashes trembled and slowly opened , revealing a pair of deep blue eyes that seem to shine bright.  The man then slowly kowtowed and kissed the tip of the statue's feet before straightening his body and gazed at the statue with a fanatical look .

A few moments later , distinct sounds of footsteps caught the attention of the man . The man slowly stood up and held the helm of his white robe carved with golden embroideries and slowly turned to face the crowd .

A certain men knelt down in front of the blonde man and cried . " Father , please forgive me! I did a grave mistake!!! "

The Pope was confused and swept his eyes over the crowd .

The man called Ace sheds tears and knelt down . " Father , please punish me for this lowly man have sinned! "

The Pope interrupted Ace and gently asked . " What sin have you committed? Ace ? "

Before Ace could answer , a golden silhouette suddenly strode inside the church and gave the pope and pitying look . When the pope saw the man's body . His eyes suddenly widened in shock .

" A-an angel ... A real angel . "

The angel however sneered and looked at the pope with cold eyes . " Do you know what you've done to have angered the lord god? "

" T-the lord god? " The Pope's eyes suddenly turned worried and trembled . " I-is the lord god really true? "

The angel scoffed and glared at the pope . " Of course he exist . How dare you doubt the lord god's existence when you're his subject? "

The pope turned silent . " What have i done to have angered the lord god . "

The angel then turned silent . " You've exceeded the limit the lord god has given you . "

" W-what limit are you talking about? "

Ace suddenly stood up and pointed at the angel . " What limit? You foolish angel , your lord god just doesn't want anybody else to surpass him . When our pope became everyone's favorite because of his kindness and almost forgot about the lord god's 'supposed' grace . That so called lord god of yours got jealous and immediately wanted to eliminate him . "

" Your words is nothing but a reason to kill our pope! "

The pope immediately shouted to stop him . " Ace! "

Ace turned to look at the pope and pointed above . " Father! The lord god you're worshipping is only sucking the faith you had gathered after spreading kindness and righteousness to all the people . The lord god was dissatisfied because you didn't spread his name , but instead taught the people how to be kind , righteous and generous . The lord god wants his name to be spread out . He wants everybody to worship him so that he can gather all the faith energy every people has . He is nothing but an insect! Leeching off every mortals' faith! "

" Enough!!! " The pope stared at Ace with horror . " How dare you blaspheme the lord god! Ace! "

The angel's being pointed at by Ace had a grave expression on his countenance this time and coldly glared at Ace . " Where did you get that courage to slander our god! Hah? Holy Knight Captain Ace . "

Ace glared back at the angel who's named unknown .

Ace turned to the pope . " This angel had always told us in the bible that Popes like you are a high ranking angel from the second level that was sent by the lord god to spread his name in the mortal world . But i know the secret! Father! Don't believe that you're simply an angel of virtue . You're not an angel of virtues but the---- "
