A fortune-telling princess Chapter 174

“L-Lady Camilla…!”

Light radiated from her entire body. Even her hair and eye color had changed, imbued with the divine glow.

Her flowing hair shimmered with a mystical silver hue, and her eyes gleamed with a deep golden light. There was an almost sacred aura about her.

“My god!”

The priests in the room immediately dropped to their knees. With trembling hands, they made the sign of the cross, tears streaming down their faces.

Even High Priest Daniel stood frozen, mouth slightly agape, unable to tear his gaze away from Camilla.

“This level of divine power…”

Even as he witnessed it with his own eyes, he couldn’t believe it.

Not even the current pope possessed such overwhelming divinity.

Fwoooosh!

The next moment, Camilla stretched out both hands toward the two children.

A tremendous surge of energy swept through the room once more.

The sheer force of the divine power was so immense that it was nearly impossible to stay conscious.

It pressed down on their bodies like an overwhelming weight, yet at the same time, it carried an unbelievably warm and blissful energy.

The paradoxical mix of power and warmth filled everyone’s hearts with overwhelming emotion.

Much later, when the divine light finally faded, those present hesitantly lifted their heads—only to be left speechless.

“T-The children…!”

The two children, who had been rigidly frozen, unable to even lie down properly, had collapsed onto the bed.

The stone-like stiffness of their bodies had completely disappeared.

“O-Oh, God!”

“Thank you…!”

The priests rushed forward, covering their mouths with both hands in utter disbelief.

Tears welled in their eyes once more.

“Uhh… Mmh…”

The children were sleeping peacefully.

These were the same children who hadn’t been able to close their eyes due to the excruciating pain—now breathing in calm, steady rhythm, lost in restful slumber.

“This is… unreal…”

Even the High Priests had been unable to elicit any response from them, and without a miracle, they had assumed the children would soon pass away.

With their own divine power being so lacking, all they could do was watch helplessly.

Tears of astonishment and gratitude continued to flow.

This was nothing short of a miracle.

“Haa…”

At that moment, a deep sigh escaped from Camilla’s lips.

‘Is it over?’

She checked the children’s condition once more before releasing another long breath of relief.

Thankfully, even while possessed, the divine power had worked properly.

[Hey, kid.]

Kid? Me? Excuse me, but I’m plenty grown, you know?

Camilla frowned slightly.

The priest’s ghost, now fully outside her body, stared at her with an intrigued expression.

A faint smile gradually formed on the spirit’s lips.

[You’re… surprisingly pure.]

‘What? My soul?’

Well, I have been told that before.

[It’s incredible that my divine power was fully expressed through you. Not just anyone can wield my strength. Your soul must be purer than I expected for it to have worked properly.]

‘That’s… actually a relief.’

She was relieved, indeed.

But…

Here we go again.

Camilla immediately sensed that something was wrong with her body.

There was no way she wouldn’t notice.

‘What is this heat?’

Normally, whenever a ghost possessed her body and then left, she would feel weak and sick for a few days.

But this time, the reaction was different from the very start.

A sudden wave of heat surged through her body—it was no joke.

Her head spun more violently than usual, and a wave of nausea hit her.

“Ugh…”

Eventually, her body began to tilt sideways.

“Camilla!”

A firm hand caught her just in time.

It was Arison.

He had been watching her without taking his eyes off her even for a second.

As he quickly pulled her into his arms, his face hardened instantly.

He could tell right away—her condition was anything but normal.

Wooooong—

Arison muttered something under his breath, and a radiant light enveloped them.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from sight.

Magic was strictly forbidden within the Papal Palace, but there was no time to worry about that now.

****

“This level of divine power is unprecedented.”

“A saint-level blessing…!”

“It is truly God’s miracle!”

The priests, who had only now regained their senses after Camilla vanished, were in awe.

They could barely contain their excitement over the overwhelming divine power they had just witnessed.

“…Truly astonishing.”

Even Daniel, looking at the peacefully sleeping children, couldn’t help but murmur in admiration.

For a brief moment, his eyes gleamed with greed.

That body!

He wanted it.

Elsewhere…

“Tsk. That’s just rude.”

A lone figure, completely forgotten by everyone.

Jaynor shook his head with a wry smile.

If he was going to teleport, he could’ve at least taken me along.

Oh well, this is getting more interesting.

His gaze lingered on the spot where Camilla had just been.

The more he learned about her, the more surprises she revealed.

There was never a dull moment.

And then, he smirked.
