The Extra's Indifference

61 Unofficial saint

I was sitting in a luxurious looking big room that was covered with paintings of red and blue eyed angels, moons and sculptures.

And in front of me a familiar looking priestess that in her early thirties with shiny blonde hair that reaches to her back and deep blue, but empty eyes that looking at me without winking.

To be honest, it was pretty creepy to be looked at like that and if my emotions weren't reduced I would definitely trembled in front of this beautiful woman who was staring at me with empty eyes and a big, broad smile that almost stretches to ears.

Even though this creepy woman seemed familiar to me, I couldn't remember where did I see her.

So, I decided to start our conversation because this woman was looking at me for a minimum of 15 minutes without uttering a single word.

Ahem!

I coughed fakely and looked at the woman.

Well, this creepy woman was still looking at me. So I decided to speak harshly to this disrespectful woman.

"Are you an idiot? Why are you looking at me like that without speaking? Did you just call me in the middle of the morning here to look at me like a pervert that is single for eternity?"

After hearing my words priestess flinched slightly and winked her eyes after 15 minutes.

She coughed fakely and looked at me normally.

"I am sorry for my impudent behaviour, but I assure you that I didn't call you for nothing." The priestess said calmly.

'She is definitely the priestess of Ilelia, this priestess too must have a personality disorder like Ilelia.' I thought after seeing the shift of the priestess.

"I will decide if I came here for nothing or not, just tell me what is the reason you called me here. I need classes to attend in the academy." I said with cold arrogance.

I was acting like a domineering asshole because i thought that if I am becoming the official saint of Ilelia, I needed to do things in my way.

I didn't want to ask everything with polite words, they are boring and long. And some people can think that if I ask them politely they can refuse my request, which I didn't want in the slightest.

After hearing my cold, arrogant tone, the priestess looked at me with approving small.

'Why the hell are you approving me?' I thought but didn't say anything and waited for the priestess to speak.

"That is a good attitude for the saint of our lady." The priestess said and nodded.

"Did you think I will become Saint of Ilelia just because I have chosen?"

"You won't?" The priestess asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter if I will become Saint of Ilelia or not. No one asked my opinion on the matter of becoming the Saint of Ilelia and I don't like to be forced into troublesome matters."

The priestess calmly listened my words without saying anything about my disrespectful attitude.

"So, what do you want to become the Saint of our lady?"

'They must really want me to become their saint or else she would get angry at my disrespectful behaviour instead of asking what I want.'

'Well, this is a good opportunity for me.'

"I will be the official Saint of Ilelia but not now. I don't want my life to be worse than right now with assassination attempts to my life because of my saint status." I said and continued after taking a deep breath.

"What I want is simple. Don't announce me as a saint to the world. I can act like a priest for some time until I get stronger than now, after that you can announce me as a saint."

What I asked wasn't too hard for them to accept, I was just asking for some time to get stronger so that I can defend myself after becoming the official Saint of Ilelia.

"It isn't too hard for us to accept this but I want you to drop the academy. We can give you more competent instructors than the academy." The priestess said with certainty.

"It is acceptable but you won't restrict my freedom and I won't be in some kind of surveillance." I stated coldly.

Priestess nodded with acceptance.

"Sure, we can do that but if it is necessary to protect your life we will have you in surveillance. As you probably know, we can't let some assassin harm the Saint of our lady." Priestess said.

'Well, what she said is fair and I can't get more than this. Though I should take Aria to my side.'

"I want my maid at my side without restrictions."

"We can accept this as long as she wears a priestess uniform and doesn't cause bad rumours while wearing our uniform."

"Why priestess uniform?" I asked because it seemed to me that it was a completely random request.

"We can't let a maid follow a priest. It would look bad. Thus she has to wear a priestess uniform."

'Now that I think about it, it is true. Well, Aria wouldn't mind, so I don't need to think about it more.

"So, who will know about my saint status other than you and the other 2 that brought me here?"

"All of the bishops and some of the head priests. You will wear an artifact to disguise your eyes."

"How many bishops are here? And how many head priests will know this?" I asked.

"There are 5 bishops and 3 of the head priests will know that you are our saint."

'Isn't it a bit too much? I am sure that at least 1 of them leak this news to the other churches or nobles.'

'Well, I won't say anything about this for now but when an assassination attempt came to me I can benefit from it while accusing the priest and bishops. With that, I can gain more power over them.'

"That is a bit too much but I am okay with it. By the way, I am taking the basement of the church for my room."

"You can't it is o-" The priestess was about to deny my request but I closed my eyes and whistled until she agreed.
