NOVPUBChapter 1476: 665 Arrival of the Saintess_1 Chapter 1476: 665 Arrival of the Saintess_1 The people of Percival noticed that this winter seemed colder than any before.
Heavy snow continued from November through the end of January, blanketing Inracetales in a layer of white.
The gloomy sky offered no hint of sunlight.
Despite the harsh winter, it was soothing for the people of Percival.
Not only did the country provide subsidies for every household, but there were also winter welfare benefits.
People didn’t need to worry about not being able to work due to the snow, and to stave off boredom, they even organized snow competitions.
Activities such as sledding and skiing were held.
...
The public participated enthusiastically, and the cold wind couldn’t extinguish their inner passion.
And so, the chilly winter passed amid this lively atmosphere.
In early February, the people of Percival received good news.
On the fourth of February, which also marked the Spring Equinox in Jimenez, the coronation ceremony of the Prince Brooklyn would take place.
To the people of Percival, this was undoubtedly good news that everyone shared in.
The coronation ceremony would take place three days later.
During past ceremonies, the King would traditionally hand over the crown prince’s symbolic scepter personally to the Crown Prince.
However, due to the King’s severe illness and his inability to be present, the Holy Master would take his place.
This was a process of ensuring a smooth transition of power, very important for the Crown Prince about to take up the mantle of authority.
All circles in Percival were busy preparing for the upcoming Crown Prince’s coronation ceremony.
In the Imperial Lodge, however, Randa seemed unusually anxious.
Following Prince Brooklyn’s coronation ceremony, discussions would begin about his marriage.
Was she really to marry Brooklyn? 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Randa would never forget the look in Prince Brooklyn’s eyes when she was bedridden and couldn’t move.
If this man were to become her husband, sharing her bed for the rest of her years, she would go crazy.
If not driven to insanity, she would at least be tormented to death by him.
She wanted to elope with Julius Sutton, forsake her royal status, but Sutton was even more constrained than her.
What was she to do then?
Randa mused,”Prince Brooklyn doesn’t need a foreign prince to consolidate his power, his wife…”.
A light sparked in Randa’s eyes, and she asked Samuel, “Does Prince Brooklyn have a woman he loves?”
Samuel thought for a moment and shook his head, “Prince Brooklyn is virtuous, he’s never been intimate with a woman.”
“He must be good at hiding it.
I don’t believe that he, at the peak of his youthful vigor, doesn’t have a woman he has feelings for.”
“Princess, I think you might have misunderstood Prince Brooklyn.
I’ve secretly made inquiries in his imperial lodge, and he doesn’t even have a single female servant there.”
Randa, incredulously asked, “Could he be gay?”
Samuel turned pale, finally managing to say after a long time, “Princess, if you don’t want to get married, just say so!”.
Randa shot her a look, “Whose side are you on?”
Samuel sighed, “Princess, I understand your feelings.
But have you thought about the consequences, once you take such a step?”
Randa snorted coldly, “My elder brother cares only about the throne and has never cared about me, his sister.
Why should I sacrifice my happiness to maintain our pitiful familial relationship?
Besides, our Percival is geographically remote and would never take the initiative to start a war.
At best, it would only make my elder brother bleed heavily.”
She had made up her mind not to marry Prince Brooklyn.
Suddenly, Randa thought of something: “What’s the deal with the Saintess all of Inracetales is talking about?”
As soon as Samuel heard this, she got all excited and began talking non-stop: “There’s talk that a long time ago, this land belonged to an ancient country called Katopierre.
There was a beautiful and intelligent princess in that country, I forgot her name, but she was very kindhearted and a devout believer in Buddha.
Touched by her kindness, Buddha specially transformed her into the universal saint.
This was, however, contingent on her undergoing 88888 trials on Earth.
The Holy Master, a devout Buddhist, was enlightened by Buddha in his dreams and founded Sahaism to guide the public and save the people of Percival from disaster.
Not long ago, the Holy Master was once again enlightened by Buddha in a dream.
The saintess, whose merits are now complete, is about to descend to the human world.
Her existence will bless the people of Percival with tranquility and stability and ensure a good crop yield.”
Excitedly, Samuel added, “Recently, all of Inracetales has been discussing the Saintess’ descent.”
“Ignorant populace,” Randa said, her eyes full of disdain.
It’s merely the ruling class manipulating the hearts of the people.
Randa has seen through all of this.
The Holy Master pulling this stunt couldn’t be merely as simple as it seems.
