Chapter 1650 - 466: Everyone Has Their Own Perspective (Part 3)
The atmosphere between the two gradually became friendly, and Luo Yan temporarily let down his guard.
Until Erin's next sentence—
"Divine Son?" Erin blinked, her face showing confusion, "What's that?"
Luo Yan's freshly calmed heartbeat surged back to his throat, instinctively glancing in Carian's direction.
"Lord Divine Son is..."
Carian instinctively glanced at Colin, sensing a hint of nervousness in those purple eyes.
The astute Carian immediately realized something, and a surprised expression on her face quickly melted into a pleasant smile.
Ah...
So that's it!
The esteemed Princess Campbell does not know that the Mr. Colin before her is Lord Divine Son.
"... In short, a very kind person."
That pleasant smile gradually took on a hint of a victor's composure. Carian looked at Erin, as if she were a true nun watching over a lost child with compassion.
Hearing this ambiguous answer, Erin felt even more puzzled and said with a bittersweet smile.
"Could you be more specific?"
There are plenty of kind people out there.
For instance, Mr. Colin is very kind, and appears much kinder than that guy pretending to be mystical.
Seeing how sensible Carian was, Luo Yan's heart settled down again, leaving the job of spreading the "Gospel of the Divine Son" to a more professional person.
Not disappointing Lord Divine Son's expectations, Carian wore a look of compassion, continuing to spread the gospel of the Divine Son like a lost lamb.
"He is a hermit from the depths of the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, always generous in helping anyone in dire straits."
"Some say he was born in a volcanic eruption, and only Saint Sis witnessed his cries."
"Thus, people also call this child who survived disaster the Divine Son... or the Flame King."
"Flame King?! He... is the Divine Son?!" Erin's face bore an incredulous expression as she blurted out, "I've heard that legend in Thunder City!"
"Really? What a coincidence."
Carian sneaked a glance at Colin, noticing that Erin still hadn't recognized that the esteemed Lord Divine Son was right in front of her. A hint of smug satisfaction rose in her eyes.
The outcome was decided.
Although this Miss Erin met Prince Colin before herself, it was clear she did not understand him as well as Carian did.
She not only understood him deeply but also shared a common secret with him.
Undoubtedly, she was the one closest to Lord Divine Son!
As for this Princess of Campbell—
She was probably just a pawn of Lord Divine Son.
Realizing this, Carian's hostility toward Erin vanished instantly, and she even became eager to share.
Many nuns serve the Divine.
She never dared to hope to receive all the blessings, just being the one closest to Lord God... or at least closer than this Campbell person, was enough.
Deep in Carian's heart, there was always a deep-seated inferiority complex, especially when facing noble people. The more she restrained herself from showing her true self, replacing it with playing the role of the Holy Daughter that Lord Divine Son wanted her to play.
Under normal circumstances, she would never reveal her deep-seated inferiority, unless she felt threatened.
For instance, some noble who, despite having everything, still wanted to take away the last umbrella from someone like her who had nothing.
Perhaps that was the source of her previous hostility.
She never had any animosity toward Miss Sarah, even seeming particularly kind... even though that Miss Sarah always had a face that warned strangers away, making speaking to her difficult, let alone getting close.
"... I could tell stories about him for three days and three nights. If you're interested, I'd be glad to share his gospel with you."
Carian stepped forward and grasped Erin's hand tightly, the interlocking fingers startled the latter.
But when she met those pure, pristine eyes, Erin restrained the urge to pull her hand back, forcing a bright, cheerful smile onto her face while laughing.
"Ah... really? That's great, I'm very interested in his story... although I remain skeptical about the so-called Divine Son."
Firstly, she feared her strength might hurt this gentle, kind girl, and secondly, she felt ashamed for having misunderstood the purity of their friendship before.
It seems that Miss Carian admires the "Flame King," not Prince Colin.
Moreover, it turns out there really are such unreserved... cough, unusual customs in the northern part of the Ryan Kingdom.
Good.
Mr. Colin's reasons for innocence just increased, making Erin feel even more assured.
Seeing the sunny smile on Erin's face, Carian's smile grew increasingly joyful.
Tightly holding the soft hand, she spoke with enthusiasm and sincerity as if they were sisters.
"... It's okay, we're not forcing anyone to follow our truth. Lord Divine Son tells us that people have the right to believe and the right not to believe."
"Is that so? That's quite a noble thought."
Erin admired this deeply and continued.
"By the way, could you introduce me to that Flame King, sir? I would like to thank him personally for helping the royal family save the refugees outside Thunder City."
"I'm afraid that might be difficult," Carian showed a hint of trouble on her face as she released Erin's hand, "That gentleman doesn't like his spiritual cultivation to be disturbed. Even I have to depend on fate to see him."
"I see... then please pass along the Campbell Royal Family's greetings on my behalf, so I won't presumptuously disturb that gentleman." Erin's face showed disappointment, seemingly regretting not being able to meet that kindhearted person.
