“So it seems that’s why you called me so hastily when I was talking with the Grand Princess.”

He was afraid she was going to gossip. Veronica said nothing, then smiled softly.

“Cardinal. I know my place. I know I won’t be able to overcome it, and I know how to keep quiet.”

But now she has broken the tacit rule. She risked everything she had and decided to use the words.

“I thought maybe I could be of some help to Cardinal Andrea.”

“The saint?”

The cardinal responded with a painted smile.

The indifferent question was covered with ignorance that she was not even aware of. As if wondering how far she would go beyond the topic.

“Is Valentine not the devil?”

“As expected, you crossed the line.”

The cardinal shook his head.

“That’s right. The power passed down from generation to generation in Valentine is not the devil’s. It’s none other than God’s malice.”

Andrea did not deny it. Rather, he readily admitted it.

Veronica looked carefully into the cardinal’s eyes. He seemed to have made up his mind on something.

‘I’m going to kill you.’

I’m going to kill you anyway, so I’ll just let you know.

If she didn’t say something useful here, Veronica was literally dead.

Andrea continued.

“Even though it was part of God, malice should never exist. It was a disaster that we could not know when, where, how, or how it would destroy our humanity.”

He added, “How can you call that God?”.

“It’s like the devil.”

Veronica read the clues hidden in those words.

“In the first place, in this world, neither angels nor demons exist?”

There was only God’s good faith and the opposing power that Valentine possessed, God’s evil.

Angel representing goodness.

Devil representing evil.

There was no such thing in the first place.

Everything was God.

‘Everything was God.’

Saving humans and destroying humans. All of them were just the jokes of an absolute being called God.

God was not only good. God also harbored malice.

If this fact became known to the public, it would cause a huge uproar.

“However, if God is one being, why is it divided into good and evil?”

“That’s enough.”

Andrea raised his arm to stop her curiosity. It was because he decided that further conversation was a waste of time.

“The saint’s final journey will be escorted by Priest Nicolas.”

It was when the cardinal went to call a man.

“Anyway, it must be that our God is not completely one now.”

He can’t believe she has more to say until this moment? Rather than begging for her life, she was only talking about what she had to say.
