Heidi didn't do anything for the next half a month.
Gu Shengyin knew that she hadn't given up. She was just waiting for the right opportunity.
When the crown prince of the Aoqi Empire was born, the emperor personally came to ask the Holy See for his blessing.
The emperor of the Aoqi Empire was Hathaway's uncle, so the crown prince could be considered her brother.
When the pope came to ask for Gu Shengyin's opinion, Gu Shengyin agreed without hesitation that she would personally bless the crown prince.
The ambassador from the Aoqi Empire left happily. Everyone knew that the higher the status of the person who blessed a newborn, the more blessings the child would receive from the gods.
Now, in the entire Radiant Church, even the Pope might not necessarily be a match for the Holy Maiden in terms of divine favor. Everyone knew that the Saintess's scepter was personally bestowed by the God of Light.
On the day of the crown prince's one-month-old birthday, all the nobles of the Aoqi Empire came to the palace.
Gu Shengyin took a bath and changed her clothes. After praying, she went to the main hall.
She wore the long robe filled with the power of light given by the God of Light. Holding the scepter personally carved by the god, she went to the crown prince's side.
The rich power of light began to gather at his fingertips. Just as Gu Shengyin was about to open his mouth to bless the newly born Crown Prince, a female voice suddenly came from behind.
"Wait! This woman doesn't deserve to bless His Royal Highness! "
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice in surprise.
The Saintess's maid? Many people recognized Heidi based on her clothes.
"How dare you! Heidi, do you know what you're saying? "Vivian was the first to react and scolded her.
The emperor of the Aoqi Empire also looked at Heidi unhappily. It was such an honor for the Saintess to bless her son. What on earth was this woman doing?
Heidi sneered inwardly under everyone's questioning and condemning gazes. You're all so protective of her now. You'll regret it when you find out the truth.
She stepped out of the crowd and looked at Gu Shengyin with disdain. "I said that Hathaway Louise doesn't deserve to bless the crown prince. She doesn't deserve to be the Saintess of the Holy See!"
"Impudent!" The members of the Radiant Church who had come with Gu Shengyin were furious. Openly challenging the authority of the Holy Maiden was a taboo.
Gu Shengyin stood in the crowd, looking calm as if Heidi wasn't talking about her.
Such self-cultivation made many people admire him endlessly.
Heidi looked at this woman who was putting on an act. Hmph, let's see if you can still pretend to be so hypocritical later.
"Honorable Saintess, do you dare to swear to the God of Light that you are still chaste?" Heidi stared straight at Gu Shengyin.
Sure enough, Gu Shengyin had expected her to do this.
Heidi's words caused an uproar. Could it be that the Saintess … had broken her precepts?
She was the personal maid of the Saintess. Since she said so …
Many people secretly looked at Gu Shengyin suspiciously.
Gu Shengyin's expression didn't change in the face of suspicion. She even smiled lightly. "Heidi, do you know how big of a sin it is to smear the image of the Saintess and slander the reputation of the Saintess?"
Her words made Heidi even more convinced that she was just bluffing.
Heidi was full of confidence. She said calmly, "God of Light, if I, Heidi, had maliciously smeared the reputation of the Saintess, then let me be roasted by the Holy Fire and never be redeemed!"
Gu Shengyin: Miss, since you want to die so badly, I won't stop you.
