The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 105.1

Chapter 105.1

Even in a temple with many commemorative days, this was an exceptionally grand event.

And the highlight of the event was, by far, the priests healing the worshippers.

“Please… Please let my child walk again.”

The person pleading was a commoner whose child had been struck by a carriage and injured their leg.

What made this day so popular was that even non-believers came to watch the priests demonstrate their power.

Only during this day, the priests did not accept any offerings for healing the people.

And now, of course, Lilika was at the center of the Celebration Day.

The commoner in front of her was someone who had not been healed, not due to lack of money, but because the priest’s ability was insufficient. Such was the severity of the injury.

A leg so mangled that it was painful even to look at it. The condition was so serious that it was right to say that it was completely tattered.

The people watching groaned without realizing it, but Lilika, standing at the forefront, simply clasped her hands.

“May God’s mercy be with the poor…”

Swoosh—

A white light enveloped Lilika’s body before moving to the person in front of her.

It was a clear beam of light that everyone gathered in the square could see.

“Wow…”

Flesh gradually returned to the patient’s leg, and the grotesque color began to regain its natural tone.

The people were speechless as they watched the miracle unfolding before their eyes.

There was a specific reason why this person with such a severe injury had been selected for treatment.

To present Lilika as the new symbol of the Temple of Ibafne, a dramatic display was necessary. They needed someone whose recovery could be visibly witnessed, like the patient in front of her.

“Ahh… Thank you! Thank you!”

“I’ll never forget this grace, even in death!”

The family who brought the patient thanked her again.

Even the patient who had been in pain touched their own leg in disbelief and bowed.

“I’m not an extraordinary person. It was your faith in Ibafne that saved you.”

Lilika smiled softly.

No one could hate an elegant and beautiful girl, like a blooming flower, showing such a humble attitude.

The believers, as well as the people who came to watch, melted away as they watched Lilika.

“I am only honored that my power has helped to spread the will of God. I just want to be used as an instrument of God.”

Thanks to the support of the temple, Lilika’s reputation continued to improve.

The healing power that could be called a miracle.

She could instantly heal even severe wounds that other priests couldn’t, in front of many people. Even the nobles who had not seen Lilika’s ‘miracle’ in the hunting competition were gradually captivated by her.

After her appearance at the Celebration Day, Lilika acted as the face of the Temple of Ibafne whenever they had an important event.

Seeing how beautifully dressed she was while at the same time showing off a sacred atmosphere, even commoners who hadn’t been healed by her praised the saintess.

“It’s Lady Primrose!”

“As expected, God has not abandoned us!”

“Now there will be fewer people dying and suffering!”

“Could she perhaps heal Mr. Yaviden’s illness? It’s something that not even a priest can cure…”

Nevertheless, the opportunity to meet Lilika was limited to high-ranking people. Just like the other priests of the temple.

“Come on. Maybe that person would have been able to meet a priest in the past, but what does he have now?”

“Well, that’s true…”

“Let’s just pray for that poor man. God punished him because of the many sins he committed.”

They didn’t realize that nothing had changed substantially in their lives, but they tried to swallow their resentment.

Dying without being able to meet a priest was their own fault.

Because they had not been chosen by God.

Because, according to the Temple of Ibafne, they lacked faith.
