1. White Rose Waltz (1)
The Empire was a very wealthy and strong country. A place that does not invade, but also does not allow invasion. In the eyes of the surrounding countries, it was truly an invincible country.
What happened to those that had been aiming for this place for a long time? Like an ant that crawled on a tree it couldn't climb, they fell into a swamp of miserable defeat.
However, when historians looked back and recorded it, what was suspicious was a surprising number of victories.
To be precise, a record of victory due to natural disasters.
Strangely, during the invasions the Empire received, there was not a crisis that they were on the defensive.
In every era, great sages made wise decisions, but miraculously, there were many victories that included nature.
For example, floods and droughts in enemy camps, untimely earthquakes and flooding of rivers. Victory, from nature, as if heaven helped the empire.
With this, people called the empire a country where God helped. As the status of the name increased, various religions naturally entered the empire, but they did not become very popular.
It was because there was already a divine being that the people of the ancient empire believed in and followed.
However, as time passed, this existence disappeared hidden somewhere in the back of history, and the Sun Bridge and the Foundation of Light, which came from other countries, took its place.
Now, most of the Empire's people have not remembered the one existence their ancestors followed in ancient times.
It has been said that God is determined according to the faith of the believer. The boundless fall has reached it and it has fallen to an existence that has just collapsed a long time ago.
"What a joke."
Sitting on the throne, she closed the book.
The woman crossed her legs and lazily swept her hair. The woman's long hair was as bright and brilliant as the sun.
But as she clicked her tongue, her face was full of disapproval. Even so, the woman was so beautiful that no one could take their eyes off her.
Those who looked at her did not dare to meet her eyes.
The woman's eyes of different colors blinked calmly.
"I'm going to burn this stupid book."
Francia lifted the thick book lightly and tossed it to the floor. Thud. A heavy sound rang out, but none of the topless paladins paid any attention.
Francia crossed her legs while sitting on the throne.
"Burn it."
Someone quickly lowered their head. That is to say, they will not speak of this book ever.
As of today, this history book, which is precise enough to be used as a textbook in educational institutions, will disappear from history.
The one who occupied the throne in front of them was the one who held such power.
The throne.
This refers to the seat of the highest. The only person in the empire who could use it.
However, it was different now. A different authority than the imperial family, she is the one and only king of this huge Foundation of Light.
The temple's sun. She was 'the Pope'.
However, the look on Francia's face after taking her seat of power was nothing short of boredom. She was tainted with terrible boredom.
Everyone in the entourage knew. The young pope, who was once a saint and the leader of the war, has not only helped the Foundation of Light to regain its former splendor over the past seven years. But has led it to enjoy more power.
That their absolute, who took off her shell and took the place of ruler, rarely smiled.
In fact, an elderly bishop called on clowns from all over the country to long for her benevolent laugh.
As a result, he would be leading a lonely temple in a rural area by now.
"I'm curious."
Everyone tensed up and listened closely to Francia's words.
"What happened to my instructions?"
At the low pitched voice, the person closest to her stepped forward.
He once served the pope in disguise, no, the now saint. He was a high-ranking priest who had returned to the position of the second-in-command of the temple.
He was weak as a child of light, but had a sparkling appearance. He could jump into a cliff without hesitation at Francia's words.
"What you instructed three years ago…… We are now at an intermediate stage."
"What do you mean?"

"Yes. The capital city and surrounding areas. Furthermore, not only has it safely settled in large cities, but the ripple effect is increasing day by day."
The priest raised his large glasses. Francia looked at his glasses and clicked his tongue at the face that came to mind. It's not a very welcome face, but she couldn't help but think of him out of reflex.
"This is the responsibility of the Foundation of Light's branches located throughout the empire, and is spreading to the public at the risk of life and death. The final step is soon. In other words, it would take much less time to spread to the end of the empire than it did at the beginning……you can look forward to it."
After the priest reported, he looked down at the floor for a while. He couldn't see Francia's face, so he didn't know her reaction either.
He was anxious on the inside.
"That's right."
Francia nudged her chin. Then she stopped wriggling her hand.
