I woke up, In a very strange place. Unfamiliar faces, voices and most of all, This happy emotions and warmth I get from them.

'I wish this isn't a dream'

'I wish....... Sincerely'

"Adelle!" I woke up as soon as I heard this voice.

"Are you slacking off again? You won't be able to help your brother at this rate"

This is Aisha. After my parents died, she is the one who helped me raise myself and is quite a close friend of mine. However, she nags me everyday.

I only smiled hearing those words.

"Its so lively. I like the atmosphere" I said trying to change the subject.

"Don't try to avoid the subject. Gosh! I can't help but always forgive you. You're just too kind! if you continue being like this, You'll be an easy target for frauds" Aisha continued to nag me.

In response, I smiled gently.

"I suppose kindness is one's true weapon" I said and chuckled.

"Don't try to seduce me with your smile! If you smile like that, I guess I'll fall in love with you" Aisha shouted with her face red.

"Why are you so red, Aisha?" I teased.

"why are you so innocent, Adelle? I'll really end up as an old unmarried woman if you stay like that" Aisha sighed.

"Why?" I tilted my head as I innocently asked.

"are you seriously unaware? of course I'll have to protect you for life." Aisha said and turned her head away.

"Aisha~" I was so touched.

"Don't look at me with those puppy eyes" Aisha stopped me. she turned her eyes away.

I chuckled.

"I-" Before I could finish my sentence, A handkerchief was put in my mouth. It contained sleeping drugs.

"Mmph!" I struggled.

'Aisha! No, she might be in danger if I act like I know her!' I thought. I tried to protect Aisha and that resulted to me, myself being in danger.

"Adelle? Adelle!" Aisha shouted looking for me as she found it weird that I disappeared all of a sudden.

...----------------...

As soon as I regained consciousness, I heard people's desperate shouts.

"What-" I was so shocked at the image I'm looking right now.

I couldn't move.

I don't believe – no, I can't believe how a person can even do this.

A slavery.

Slavery is prohibited by the empire years ago, however, after the selfish emperor ascended the throne, This rule was ignored by many. Knights treated slavery like it was nothing. they don't care what the evil people do to slaves. The king didn't care about the crimes and continued his depraved life.

I laughed to myself.

"Kindness is a weapon? I might be fooling myself. In this situation, my kindness couldn't even help these poor people" I told myself. somehow, I feel guilty for those slaves even though I didn't do anything wrong. it might be because of that incident 7 years ago.

"Miss, Are you perhaps a noble?" A child tapped my shoulders.

I turned my head only to see a pitiful child full of whip marks.

'How could they do this to a child!" I was so shocked.

"Miss, If your friends come to save you, will you come save us as well?" The child asked me.

This child suffered so much.

"I'm not a noble, However, I'll try my best to free you all!" I gave a really positive smile however, the child's face darkened.

"So you're not a noble, Us commoners can't save ourselves. how will you – a commoner even save us." The child said and turned his head away.

I could see the tears in the child's eyes.

I pity him, but who am I to pity him? I'm not in the position to pity someone.

Days passed, I was still in the slave House.

every night, they starve us, whip us. until the manager noticed me and appointed me as his plaything this evening.

I have to escape. but, I have to take them with me. but how?

I was about to stand when I noticed my surroundings.

the shouts stopped. people stopped blinking. it feels like time stopped.

but did time really stopped?

'Oh god, you must have heard my pleas thank you for giving me this opportunity' I thanked God as I understood what happened immediately.

I stood up, ran away. I got the keys to open the gates and free the slaves.

'Wait for me, I'll get help for you guys!' I said to myself but it seems like I'm hesitating.

'Will they really help us? will they really believe me? what if they ignore me? just like, back then?' I was shaking. I don't know what to do. should I go, or not?

I shouldnt rely to other everytime. this time I think I'll rely on myself. not like back then.

...****************...

7 years ago....

7 years ago...........

I was eleven years old at that time – the day my world fell apart.

...----------------...

"Would mom like the flower crown I made?" I asked to my friend.

"Of course! she would like anything you give her anyway" My friend assured me.

"I hope you're right!" I smiled.

I ran excitedly to our house.

will my mom compliment me?

My family are commoners but I lived pretty happy.

there was no hardship in my life. I thought everything will be alright.

even though we're not rich I thought I have all kinds of treasure in the world as long as I can see my mother's smile.

I was pampered as the 'only child'

I have a brother. but my brother committed a crime so he was put behind bars.

time passed, it seemed like my parents didn't cared.

im happy because they pamper me but at the same time I'm sad because my only brother, was ignored.

"I wish, My parents would pamper my brother too! and so, I will have the chance to see their smiling faces" I always say to myself.

the door creaked as I opened it.

Our house wasn't that big but it is pretty decent.

"Mo-" Before I could call out my mother's name, I hear my parents argue.

"Please think about our daughter" My dad pleaded.

"our daughter, I- I loved her. to the point I'm willing to give up my life for her! And...... Danger has come to my daughter. What should I do? I'll have to follow their orders" My mom said in a low voice.

'Why? why is mom having a very sad expression? smile please!' I said to myself.

I could see tears on her eyes.

I want to cry myself despite not being able to understand what was happening.

"Shane, please dont..... if you leave me, There will be nothing left in me" My dad continued to cry

my parents wept.

I was so sad.

"is it my fault that mom and dad is crying?" I whispered to myself.

"Isaac, please let me do this. for the sake of our daughter" My mom begged.

"daughter this daughter that! why do you keep hurting yourself for our daughter? it's just a daughter we could make another one!" My dad shouted.

I was stunned.

A slap came right onto my dad's face.

mom was crying.

"I'm sorry Shane, I was quite confused at the moment. I didn't realize what I was doing" My dad apologized to my mom and turned his eyes away.

Mom kept crying. She couldn't stop her tears.

'I wish I could take all those tears away' I thought to myself.

'Has mom and dad ever fought like this before?' I asked to myself. knowing that they never did fought in front of me.

"My life..... is for our daughter. I ignored my first son in order to protect him. I could do anything to protect him of course also my daughter" my mom smiled while wiping away her tears.

"So-"

My mom picked up a dagger and pointed it on her neck.

"Shane!"

"Please let me go" My mom smiled and tears fell from her eyes.

I ran like crazy.

this couldn't be happening.

"Mom!" I hurried.

"A- Adelle?" My mom shaked. She dropped her dagger by accident.

"Look, I made a flower crown for you!" I was crying.

Im smiling while crying.

I'm just a kid, and it's too painful for me to see my mother crying.

I'm too innocent but despite that, I know what my mother was trying to do right now

"Mom please! please dont do it" I begged. I was crying.

But mom pushed me and blocked my eyes.

before dad could even take the dagger, She took it and slit her throat.

blood spilled.

I was stunned.

the horrifying scene that I saw with my innocent eyes.

The blood was nothing scary compared to my mom's dead-fish eyes.

"Shane- no! no! Shane wake up!" My dad burst out crying. he was very sad. The pain and grief he felt when he saw my mom die in front of him.

it was too painful for me.

however, I stood up.

I looked around.

"please help! please call the doctors! my mom! she is dying!" I Screamed and screamed. Until dawn, my throat hurts so much but I still begged for help. I know I was too late.

the people ignored me. the people just turned their heads away from me.

'They have their own problems too. I shouldnt blame them' I told myself a hundred times.

I returned back home hopeless.

I saw my dad still grieving over my mom's dead body.

"Shane, If you'll leave then, take me with you" My dad picked up the dagger and stabbed himself too.

I was shocked.

stunned.

I was like a frozen statue.

I fell into my knees, hopeless.

March 17 1758

The day my world fell apart.

'I- got something more important to do. I can't manage to hesitate' I told myself.

'If that happens, then I should rely on myself this time' I smirked. I ran and snatched the keys.

I opened the chains on everyone's hands. I moved them out of the slavery house.

three days passed, no food, A bit of water, I was so exhausted.

but at least i should save them. even if it means to sacrifice myself.

I stumbled on myself.

I grabbed a lighter, and threw it onto the gasoline.

"I'm sorry. but you guys have done an unforgivable sin" I said farewell to the people who kidnapped and made those people slaves.

I collapsed.

I stared on the sky.

"I can't believe this is the last scene I will ever see." I chuckled.

I closed my eyes – waiting for my death.

But-

"It's so rare for a girl to visit my consciousness" A beautiful girl smiled.

'Who-' I was so stunned by her beauty.

but, aren't I supposed to be dead?

"God has given you another chance. Because you managed to visit my consciousness, you are a saint now. A SAINT!" she told me. She looked serious.

'Hah! how funny, even in my death I'm imagining such things?' I laughed to myself.

"You're not imagining things." The girl said and turned away.

"How could you possibly-" I was surprised.

"How could I read your mind? obviously, you are in my consciousness. Don't be too surprised, I am someone who will help you not someone who holds contempt to you" The girl smiled.

her smile was so warm.

I was deflowered by her.

"I am the goddess of creation, Erin. you, my appointed saint, I shall help you grant your wish. Now then, what is your wish, My dear?" The goddess asked after she sat on her throne.

"Wi-wish? sai-saint? Me? Are you mistaken?" I was so surprised. There's no way I could be a saint.

Erin was irritated by me.

"You- I told father to give me a obedient and respectful saint! but he gave me a rude girl! How dare you doubt my words?!" Erin was so enraged.

She was so furious that you wouldn't be able to tell that she is a goddess.

"U-um goddess of creation, I think this is too much for me..." I insisted.

How could I even accept such a title! We are talking about a Saint! A saint has much more authority than the emperor himself!

"What? too much? you sacrificed yourself to save those slaves that the emperor didn't bother to save! Please rethink it!" Erin insisted.

"Then, I'll accept being a saint after I do much more good things. I think sacrificing myself isn't enough" I said as I lowered my eyes.

The goddess stared at me. As if examining me.

She had a really serious face on her face.

"I was wrong about you. you deserve being a saint. So, as my first saint, I should grant your wish. Now then, tell me – what is your true wish?" The goddess asked and smiled.

"True wish....." I mumbled to myself.

'Do I really deserve this?' I thought to myself.

I looked up to the goddess once again and gave her a serious look.

"Goddess of creation, erin, my wish is to recreate the world into a better and happy world. I wish to borrow your power in order to do so, I won't use it in evil doings, It is my true wish" I said and bowed my head.

I courteously bowed and gave her a really sincere respect.

"Umm..." The goddess looked at me. Thinking if she should grant my wish.

"Okay then" the goddess smiled.

"I'll grant your wish! however, the moment you use it for evil, your heart will stop. So now it's time for our farewells" The goddess smiled.

She shined brightly.

I stared dazzled by her beauty.

"I will always be by your side, go back, and your wish will come true. Farewell, my dear" The goddess smiled gently.

"Farewell" I said and smiled.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Is she alright?"

"She's the one who saved us"

"She teleported us out of the house and burned it"

"is she a fairy?"

"Maybe she is a mage"

"We should somehow repay her"

I heard people chatting.

'Are they talking about me?' I asked myself.

I peeked and opened my eyes.

"Oh! She's awake!" The boy shouted.

He's the boy who told me to give up.

"Really!?" They all came in.

It was so warm.

they are all smiling.

Why?

They all knelt and bowed to me.

They payed respects to their Savior.

"Please lift your head up" I said, flustered.

"Fairy, no great mage or maybe a saint! Please accept us as your followers! we will follow you and your goals! we sincerely want to repay you!" An old woman shouted.

"That's right! That's right!" The others shouted unified.

it was so awkward – I lost my consciousness out of being flustered.
