The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 121

A person with ears to hear would find the muttering, now that the sin had been banished, quite bizarre.

But Raheen wasn’t crazy, nor had she lost her mind. She was currently conversing with her god.

“You absolutely must be happy. I hope you’re so overwhelmed with happiness that you don’t know what to do.”

‘That way, when I become her, I can be happy to my heart’s content,’ she thought.

“I hope I become happy too. I’m the protagonist of this world, after all. The happiest person in the world. Right?”

The thoughts occupying Raheen’s mind were simple, and therefore dangerous.

She believed she absolutely had to be happy. But at the same time, she didn’t acknowledge that her greed was greater than anyone else’s in the world.

“Why choose a husband? I should just take all three of them! Oh, how wonderful. Looking at it this way, being sealed away was a blessing in disguise.”

Raheen giggled and stamped her feet, squealing with delight.

In Raheen’s hand was a small scrap of paper, secretly placed under the soup bowl that came with breakfast this morning.

The paper contained various pieces of information that Raheen desired. Specifically, information about the Dribblyane family.

‘Even if those stiff and unpleasant people dislike me, there will always be someone eager to impress me.’

Raheen had realized this truth early on and decided to take advantage of those who treated her well.

Asking about Kiraxus as soon as she opened her eyes was all a calculated move.

The old priests present must have been dumbfounded, recounting the events of that day.

With the Papal State having many listening ears, someone would have noticed that ‘Saint Raheen wants information about Kiraxus Dribblyane’… and that would have led to this result.

Raheen didn’t have to do anything; someone would gather information and deliver it to her. This was the case 20 years ago, and it’s still the same now.

Of course, Raheen didn’t know who was providing the information, nor did she particularly appreciate it.

‘Ariadne, who was a thorn in my side, is dead, but she left behind three handsome men!’

And the girl who has taken all the heirs of the Dribblyane family is the Saint of the Magic Empire, Florin!

What a coincidence.

The only reason Raheen was once so infatuated with Kiraxus was his face.

But now that there are even more handsome men who resemble Kiraxus, Raheen was overjoyed.

The more handsome men, the better!

If she hadn’t been sealed away back then, she would have become too old to even touch these vibrant young men.

“The world really does revolve around me! Even things that seem bad at first eventually come back around and turn out to be good for me.”

Raheen grinned, thinking about taking all those handsome men for herself, and then suddenly stood up.

A high status, men who adore only her, a supportive family-in-law. And even Kiraxus, who would have become a middle-aged man.

The paradise she desired was right there, making it hard to resist.

‘Honestly, that position is too good for the Saint of the Celestial God, isn’t it?’

The Saint of the Celestial God belongs right here where she is now.

Be frugal, take care of others, and nag and bother her as soon as she opens her eyes—this is where that girl should be.

“I’ll make my third wish. Another saint. Switch me with that girl, Florin. Can you do it?”

You can only make three wishes. That was the warning the god gave when he first appeared before her.

‘I’ve already used two, so I need to be careful with the last one.’

So, unlike herself, Raheen saved and saved, figuring out the situation first. Then she made her wish.

This way, she felt like she could finally be happy.

“It’s not about switching bodies. Change the situation itself.”

As Raheen smiled brightly and made her wish, all the candles in the room suddenly went out.

People were greatly surprised and frightened by the strange phenomenon of the entire Papal State being enveloped in darkness.

Since the room was like a prison where even the outside sky could not be seen, Raheen was trapped in complete darkness, but she was not afraid at all. It was always like this when she made a wish.

“Oh! It doesn’t have to be right away. At the most appropriate time, at the most interesting moment. Let me become that girl at the most interesting moment.”

To do that, she could endure staying in this terrible bedroom for a while longer.

Raheen tilted her head back and laughed. She looked more like a devil than a saint.

* * *

“That is a devil. No doubt about it!”

“But how do you explain the divine power?”

At that moment, in a secret place within the Papal State.

A fierce debate was taking place about ‘Raheen’.

In fact, the room where Raheen was currently staying was designed with a very special structure. All conversations taking place in that room echoed loudly in this secret place.

At first, it was to prevent any possible remnants of fanatics from approaching, but now the situation was very different. A few words that Raheen casually uttered had confused the high-ranking priests sitting here.

“The ability to bestow miraculous divine power belongs only to the Celestial God. Is that not so?”

“I agree.”

“I agree as well. Evil gods do not have that power.”

“Therefore, it cannot be denied that Raheen is a saint. Even if… she says strange things.”

“But there is also a saint in the Magic Empire.”

“That saint did not respond to the Papal State’s call! If she were real, what reason would she have not to respond!”

The high-ranking priests were each in a state of confusion.

The truths they had believed in all their lives were as follows:

First. Evil gods are beings that bring evil into the world and are adversaries of the Celestial God.

Second. Evil gods cannot bestow divine power. Only the great Celestial God gives divine power.

Third. Only the Holy Empire diligently serves the gods, so only the saint of the Holy Empire is a true saint. It is impossible for a saint to come from the Magic Empire.

It was impossible that they would give a saint named Raheen and also give a saint to the Magic Empire.

Even if it was prejudice, it was such a strong belief that it was difficult for the high-ranking priests, who were already too old, to reverse their thinking.

That’s because it would shake the foundation of their lives, and furthermore, their religion.

Therefore, until just now, the high-ranking priests were ready to support Raheen as much as possible.

Even if Raheen was frivolous, if she came to her senses now, atoned, and took care of the unfortunate… forgiving her sins was something the gods would do.

If Raheen changed even a little, they could be her strongest allies.

It would be better than accepting the radical idea that the saint of the Magic Empire is the real saint.

But what were the words they had just heard?

“I’ll make my third wish. Another saint. Switch me with that girl, Florin. Can you do it?”

“It’s not about switching bodies. Change the situation itself.”

Depending on how you interpret it, some priests couldn’t help but feel cold sweat running down their backs.

Could it be that she is really… using the power of God to carry out a nasty plan to steal another person’s entire life?

If so, shouldn’t they rise up and stop that evil deed?

Was it a mistake to release the seal?

Their minds were bound to be complicated with various thoughts.

In fact, there was top-secret information that only four of the high-ranking priests, including the Pope, who were very old, could access.

The words Raheen said when she brought winter.

“I’ll make my second wish.”

Following that, this is now the third.

So, it couldn’t be words spoken in jest… but how on earth would she change the situation?

“We know the second, but we don’t know what the first wish was. If by any chance….”

If Raheen wished to become a saint.

A priest stopped speaking.

Another stroked his beard and opened his mouth solemnly.

“Stop there. It could be blasphemy.”

Even if she wished to become a saint, if the Celestial God granted it, it was ultimately God’s will. Humans did not have the right to arbitrarily judge God’s will.

“…Yes. It would be good if God gave us an answer.”

Currently, there was no one in the Holy Empire who could communicate directly with God.

They had experienced miracles when they first received divine power, but that was the end of it.

The saint and the Pope were considered the closest to God, so in this situation, they had no choice but to rely on the Pope.

“Your Holiness. What do you think?”

“Give us an answer.”

And Pope, George Viologue Roxanne Illegretio IV. After listening to all the conversations, he opened his mouth in a low and heavy voice.

“The debutante season in the Magic Empire is coming up soon.”

“Does that mean…?”

“We should go and see. To find out which one is real.”
