This is a story from Saintess Seira’s perspective.
“Elder Sister Lounamaria… You’ve become even more beautiful lately. Although there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, they say you’re with child. Not only that, but your enchanting singing voice has gained a new luster, and your rare gift of Healing Magic has also been refined.”
Speaking of which… It seems Elder Sister Lounamaria had an unexpected encounter on her recent journey with the “Diva of Serenity” she had been searching for.
And it is said that this individual acts according to the oracles of the gods, so she stated that she could not return to her homeland at this time.
It appears the cause of her worries has been resolved and she has become mentally at peace.
And the greatest joyous event was accepting the proposal from Cardinal Arthur Thornton, who had been stubbornly refusing.
Furthermore, it is likely that she became pregnant shortly thereafter.
I am Seira Hyperion, a Saintess belonging to the Asgard Holy Church, who bears the epithet “Saintess of the Dream Palace.”
My role in the church is to receive oracles from the gods through dreams.
It is generally said that Saints and Saintesses are valued for their purity.
This is true in a sense, as many lose not only their purity but also their divine grace through sexual intercourse.
However, this is not true for everyone.
Some, like Elder Sister Lounamaria, ascend to an even greater level by becoming mothers in the future.
These individuals are called “True Saints” and are certified as such by the Asgard Holy Church.
The other day, Lady Lucialurei, the Goddess of Light, appeared in my dream and delivered an oracle concerning my master.
She said that the one who would become her master is Lady Lucialurei’s shrine maiden and a “True Saintess.”
Does the meaning of this term “True Saintess” imply being a “True Saint” and also being the shrine maiden of Lucialurei, one of the highest goddesses?
Lady Lucialurei also said that after achieving great deeds, the shrine maiden will become the leader of the Saints and Saintesses belonging to the Asgard Holy Church.
Welcoming the shrine maiden will undoubtedly solidify the position of the Asgard Holy Church.
In addition, the oracle mentioned, in ambiguous terms, that although the master has not yet awakened as a shrine maiden, my own fate may undergo a turning point, and advised me to continue my journey.
It also included a mysterious instruction to accompany Elder Saintess Lounamaria Lurd, who is known by the epithet “Saintess of the Never-Ending Spring,” and Isabel Ishante Hasshatitia, a former Princess Knight belonging to the Holy Knights.
Following the goddess’s oracle, we departed from Granza, the imperial capital of the Espana Imperial Kingdom where the main sanctuary of the Asgard Holy Church is located. On the mountain road leading to the neighboring Former Yver Duchy Territory, we were attacked by a Treant who called itself “Princess Knight Eater,” disguised as a tree.
I felt as if I would die at that moment.
I was prepared to face death and resented Lady Lucialurei a little for encouraging me to continue my journey.
The state Elder Sister Lounamaria was in after being captured first was particularly terrifying.
Hanging upside down by tentacles, Elder Sister Lounamaria’s holy robe was brutally torn off, and her life force was drained through every orifice until she withered away before our eyes.
Then, both Mariabel and I were captured by tentacles and lost consciousness.
Is this… the end?
And then… I had a strangely vivid, lewd dream that was not an oracle.
It was of a man and woman’s intimacy.
In other words, a dream of sexual intercourse.
And strangely, Mariabel also had a similar lewd dream.
For me, who is a cleric and belongs to the “Asgard Faith” faction that values purity, it was a shocking and impure dream.
On the other hand, Elder Sister Lounamaria, who belongs to the “Holy Church” faction, was encouraged to marry.
Meanwhile, it was a shocking dream for Mariabel as well, who was undoubtedly a virgin.
The next morning, Mariabel and I were awakened by Elder Sister Lounamaria.
Elder Sister Lounamaria, who should have perished after being attacked by the Treant, was surprisingly unharmed, leaving us in a state of utter confusion.
And Elder Sister Lounamaria had a radiant expression, as if a burden had been lifted.
Moreover, strangely, Elder Sister Lounamaria exuded a captivating feminine charm.
It was faint and subtle, but it was a dramatic change.
In other words, it seems Elder Sister Lounamaria experienced a turning point in her life on this journey.
Furthermore, the adventurers who saved us were quite peculiar individuals.
The party name “Princess Harem” seemed almost blasphemous, and the party members wore masks resembling Valkyries.
These masks are originally used in religious ceremonies and are said to resemble the visage of the Valkyrie, who is said to be a peerless beauty.
And when we departed, I felt a lingering attachment, though I didn’t understand why.
Ultimately, Elder Sister Lounamaria informed us that the journey had ended without incident, and we began our return journey, still feeling unfulfilled.
Upon arriving at the Grand Sanctuary, Elder Sister Lounamaria immediately declared her acceptance of the marriage proposal from Cardinal Arthur Thornton.
After that, a solemn wedding ceremony was held, and they intimately experienced Virginity Loss and became pregnant.
I then explained the oracle and the events of the journey to my adoptive father, Cardinal Carot Huberion, a prominent figure in the “Holy Church” faction, and also reported that the goddess had mentioned my marriage.
My adoptive father was initially taken aback upon hearing my report, but he graciously arranged the faction transfer. I moved from the “Holy Church” faction to the “Asgard Faith” faction.
This was an unprecedented action, but my adoptive father handled everything.
Although my affiliated faction changed, my relationship with my adoptive father remains good.
This is likely because I was judged to be qualified as a “True Saint,” just like Elder Sister Lounamaria.
That night, Lady Lucialurei, the Goddess of Light, descended upon my dream once more.
“Seira. You have gone through much hardship on this journey.”
“Yes, may it please you.”
“However, you have missed your fated encounter.”
“Ah, did I also have a fated encounter?”
“Of course. You were scheduled to meet Hal Harem Von Raymond on that journey. By the way, he was also Mariabel Ishante Hasshatitia’s fated partner…”
“I am unaware, but I do not know of a gentleman named Hal Harem Von Raymond.”
“What are you saying? I am referring to the boy you disparagingly called ‘Ball-less Hal Raymond.'”
“What!? Eeeeeeehhhhhh~~~”
I was so surprised, it felt as if heaven and earth were about to flip.
To think that my fated partner was that ‘Ball-less Hal Raymond’…
And moreover… I would become sisters-in-law with Mariabel, immorally so.
“The one recognized as the Hero of prophecy in this era is Albert Sandia, who was discovered by Calyun, the God of Fire. However, we unofficially consider Hal Harem Von Raymond to be a hero as well. He is attended by many beautiful maidens, and you will likely join their ranks.”
“Th-That can’t be…”
The thought of my fated partner being revealed by Lady Lucialurei made me feel faint.
“What are you thinking? You have already been saved by him. If you had not met him—”
And then I learned of my own true fate.
I was originally destined to fall into slavery at the Raymond Trading Company and be bought by a wealthy eccentric with a Lolita complex.
I was bought as a sex slave, and my virginity was to be lost immediately, and I was destined to be broken physically and mentally through unspeakable perverted games and perish.
However, because of my first undressing, Hal Raymond’s awakening occurred, and I was treated as a Saintess.
As for Mariabel, it is said to be necessary for the restoration of her ruined homeland, the Hasthatitia Kingdom.
I recall hearing that the Hasthatitia Kingdom belonged to the western nations but bordered the northern nations, which were territories of the Demonkin, and thus fell early in the Demonkin invasion.
Mariabel is said to be the last surviving member of the Hasthatitia royal family.
Incidentally, I do not know the details of why Princess Mariabel came to seek refuge with the Asgard Holy Church.
Furthermore, it is said that the child I will bear will undoubtedly become a Saint or Saintess and rise within the Asgard Holy Church, dedicating their life to the world.
Although this sounds wonderful at first glance, it means I must embrace that “Ball-less Hal Raymond.”
After Lady Lucialurei
