People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"Mother."

Looking at the chubby grandfather waving at her, Cecilia didn't know what to do, so she looked at her mother sitting opposite her grandfather. Then she saw her mother calm down her previous excitement and nodded at her.

Only then did Cecilia finally slowly put her foot on the next step, walked down the stairs under everyone's gaze, then quickly walked to her mother's side, hid behind the sofa, and looked at everyone in front of her carefully.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Felia. I apologize for my previous remarks. I slandered your daughter without any understanding. I feel guilty for my disrespectful behavior. I am willing to accept any compensation plan you offer and hope to receive your forgiveness."

Seeing that Felia still looked unwilling to speak, Fiameta wondered if his previous remarks had blocked the mother's mouth, so he simply apologized directly.

After all, everyone can see now that the core of his mission this time is Mrs. Sakta and her daughter. If the mission goes wrong due to his negligence and recklessness, he should be held responsible for it both emotionally and morally.

"Ugh."

Looking at the red-haired Liberi who was bowing and apologizing to her, Felia sighed softly, as if she wanted to let out all the depression in her heart over the years.

For many years, ever since she became pregnant, she has been living a life of hiding. At that time, she thought she would give birth to a Sarkaz child, so she tried every means to hide herself. After giving birth, she would use the rest of her life to take good care of her child, let him experience the love of a mother, and then hand him over to his father.

But who could have imagined that he and his child were actually a Sakota, which disrupted all his original plans. However, Cecilia's father did not seem surprised by this. It was not known whether it was because he did not understand the inside story of Sakota or for some other reason.

All in all, the past few years that Felia had lived with Cecilia in Lateran were almost depressing. Until this moment when the incident happened, Felia finally felt a strange sense of relief.

Even if this means that the future of yourself and your children will become uncertain.

"Hmm? Doctor, you haven't spoken a word since you first met this child. And your expressions... why are they so strange?"

Shuiyue, who had been sitting nearby without saying a word, looked curiously at Fang Ark, Kal'tsit and others beside him, and his words also attracted the attention of Evangelista XXI and Mostima. Only then did they see that Kal'tsit and Amiya were looking at Cecilia with strange expressions, and Fang Ark's eyes were also quite subtle.

"Sir, may I ask why you are looking at Cecilia like that?"

That kind of staring gaze obviously made Felia feel a little wary, mainly because the way the young-looking Filin woman and the Carters girl looked at Cecilia was too strange.

The look that was a mixture of surprise, disbelief, suspicion, and then hesitant denial made those two pairs of originally beautiful eyes look like a messy color palette, which made people feel uneasy.

"Doctor, don't you think they look too similar?"

"Doctor, you probably feel the same way."

Kal'tsit and Amiya did not respond directly to Felia's question, but turned to look at Fang Ark who was sitting between them. These two sentences made everyone look at Fang Ark who had been silent. Cecilia also looked at the white-haired uncle curiously. She was still young and did not notice the weird atmosphere in the room, but through empathy, she could sense that her mother seemed very uneasy, while the chubby old grandfather had been exuding kind emotions.

"Like? What are you talking about?"

Felia seemed to have thought of something and looked at Fang Zhou and the other two people uneasily.

She found the thought in her mind hard to believe. She thought it couldn't be such a coincidence, but when she thought about the purpose of this group of people coming today just because of her and her son, she felt that her guess was not impossible.

"Could it be that you..."

"This child does look a lot like Theresa. Is that what you're trying to say?"

Fang Zhou interrupted Felia and looked carefully at Cecilia's face. If you ignore the halo and hair color, this face is indeed very similar to Theresa's.

It’s a pity that neither Kal’tsit nor Amiya know what Theresa looked like when she was a child. If they knew what she looked like when she was a child, they might be able to make a more accurate comparison.

"Theresia?"

Evangelista XXI frowned slightly, then he remembered who the name belonged to.

"Oh, my law is above me, Doctor. I very much hope you're just having fun with me, an old man."

After saying this, Evangelis the 11th immediately looked at Felia.

"Ms. Felia, can we know who little Cecilia's father is?"

Hearing Evangelista XXI's question, Felia nodded slightly.

"Cecilia's father is indeed not Sakota."

"Not Sakota?!"

Now it was the turn of Fiammetta and Mostima next to them to be shocked again. As mentioned before, a child born from a Sakota and another race could definitely not be a Sakota. And if Cecilia's father was not a Sakota, then why did she show the racial characteristics of a Sakota?

Looking at Felia, the only thought that flashed through the minds of both Fiammetta and Mostima was that this woman was lying. However, looking at Felia's eyes, Mostima dispelled the idea that she was lying. Although he had lost the ability of empathy, the loss of empathy instead gave the fallen angel Sakota a deeper understanding of human hearts. So when looking at this woman, Mostima could feel that she was indeed not lying.

Evangelista XXI's heart skipped a beat. Now he understood what PCS meant when he said that Cecilia would point the way for Lateran's future.

Taking into account the identity of the person sitting next to me, this path does not seem to have no possibility of success at the moment.

But he also understood how severe a blow it would be to Lateran if this matter was announced.

"So, who is her father?"

Even though you already have an answer in your mind, you still have to ask the questions that need to be asked.

"...Her father is a Sarkaz."

"!!!"

Glancing at Fiammetta and Mostima beside him, whose brains were so shocked that they couldn't function, Evangelista XXI's heart finally died down, because he could sense through his empathy that Felia was not lying.

As if they had thought of this, Fiammetta and Mostima both looked at Evangelista XXI, but the Pope, on whom they placed their hopes, only nodded slightly without saying a word.

Now Fiammetta and Mostima were relieved.

How could this be possible? A Sakta and a Sarkaz could actually produce a Sakta offspring. If such a thing were to be made public, the enormous storm it would unleash on this land was beyond the imagination of the two men.

After all, a Sakota can only give birth to offspring with Sakota racial characteristics. This rule is an iron rule known to everyone with a little common sense in this land of mine, but now it has been broken by a Sarkaz.

There are only two possibilities for this matter. Either there is something wrong with this iron rule, and the Sakota and other races are equally likely to give birth to offspring with Sakota racial characteristics, but the probability is extremely small. In fact, only Cecilia has been born in the past thousands of years.

Or, there is nothing wrong with this iron rule, but this also means a more terrifying conclusion.

"that……"

At this time, Amiya reached out and looked at Felia obediently, as if I wanted to ask a question.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Well, I want to ask what kind of person your husband is. Um, I don't need to be too detailed. Can you tell me his name, or what he looks like?"

Amiya and Kal'tsit both had a guess in their minds, but no matter how they thought about it, the possibility of this guess being correct was very small.

If Felia's husband is really that man, then it would be too magical.

"I can't tell you his name. He told me that after he finishes some trivial matters, he will come to pick me and the child up in person. Then he will take us away from Rutland. But before that, we must not tell anyone who he is."

A little...abstract.

Kal'tsit looked at the Sakota woman in front of her with some confusion. Isn't this kind of rhetoric telling you clearly that I am just keeping you hanging and ready to run away at any time?

As if she could see the hidden meaning in Kal'tsit's eyes, Felia shook her head slightly.

"He is definitely not the kind of person you think. In fact, we just met not long ago, just outside the walls of Lateran."

"what?"

Fiammetta made a sound of disbelief. If Felia's husband was a Sarkaz, and they had just met outside the city wall of Lateran some time ago, did it mean that a Sarkaz avoided the detection of all early warning systems and the surveillance and patrol routes of the musketeers and appeared in a close proximity to Lateran, just to have a secret meeting with a Sakta woman?

Isn't Rutland's early warning and alarm system so fragile?

That was a Sarkaz! Logically, Lateran's alarm and early warning systems should have targeted the Sarkaz, but a Sarkaz slipped in.

"We meet regularly every year, and sometimes Cecilia comes too. I also want her to meet her father, and he also wants to meet Cecilia and his children."

"Well, Daddy is very handsome, with pointy, straight horns, and a very handsome armor and cape!"

"Cecilia!"

Felia anxiously held Cecilia's head to stop her from continuing.

"I'm sorry, because of the agreement I made with him, I can't tell you his name and appearance. As for what happened just now... it's my fault for not taking good care of the child. Cough cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"

As if due to emotional excitement, Felia began to cough violently, her face turned pale, an abnormal blush appeared on her cheeks, and even the halo on her head began to flicker, alternating between light and dark irregularly.

"Ms. Felia!"

"mom!"

Kal'tsit immediately stepped forward to check Felia's physical condition, and behind her, Cecilia looked at her mother worriedly with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mom. Cecilia, I... I just wanted to..."

Felia gently touched her daughter's head, suppressed her cough, looked at her with a smile and shook her head gently.

"It's okay, Cecilia. I know you just want to tell others about your wonderful father. Mom doesn't blame you. I'm sorry. Because of me, you can't even spend time with your father like other children. You can't even go out and play with other children your age."

Looking at her well-behaved daughter in front of her, Felia thought of the life little Cecilia had lived in the past few years, and the guilt and pain in her eyes almost overflowed with words.

"Ms. Felia may have severe asthma, but judging by her frailty, it's probably more than just asthma. Without professional equipment, I can't make a definitive diagnosis. Currently, all I can say is that it's possible."

Even if you are 100% sure, you must never say anything for sure. This is Kal'tsit's experience in practicing medicine over the years.

"Are you a doctor?"

Felia looked at Kal'tsit in front of her, who nodded slightly, and then turned her gaze to Ark. She knew the power of Ark's horse spell. If she could use the power of the horse spell, whether Felia had asthma or whether she had any other complications would not be a problem.

Fang Zhou thought for a moment and then looked at the weak Felia.

"Ms. Felia, we already have a basic understanding of your situation. In fact, we are here to solve the problem you and Cecilia have. His Holiness the Pope is here, and I believe you can tell through empathy that we are not lying.

We have a plan for Cecilia to work with us. Don't worry, these things won't harm her. They will even allow Cecilia to live a normal life. After all, you know the current situation, both with Rutland and your body."

Felia looked at her daughter silently. Her heart suddenly twitched when she saw her daughter's clear eyes. Then she looked at Fang Zhou silently.

"Your physical condition must be not optimistic right now. Without external intervention, how long can you hold on? And during this period, will it be enough time for your husband to deal with those external "trivial matters" and take you and your daughter to leave this city and this country? And if you can't hold on during this period, what should Miss Cecilia do?

And there is another problem. Miss Cecilia is not young anymore, she is probably six or seven years old. If a child of this age keeps isolating herself and not interacting with her peers, she will never be able to bear it.

Madam, you don’t want your daughter to have any psychological problems, do you?

Chapter 466: Celebrate the Birth of the Saint!

It's a sentence that evokes a certain sense of déjà vu. It feels as if something in this land has been irreversibly changed since I uttered it.

Kal'tsit looked at Fang Ark with a strange look, while the latter smiled and waved his hand to indicate that what he had just said was just a little joke, but what he said was not a joke or an exaggeration.

For a child, if he lives in a fixed environment since childhood, has no communication and social interaction with outsiders, and the only people he knows are his mother and a father he rarely sees, or even no grandparents, it is easy to imagine how huge the impact will be on the child's future.

However, in this rational world where even the villain's minions would nag about this land, it is really unknown whether Cecilia's personality would be distorted due to this kind of growing environment.

After all, judging from the plot, this child is no different from other children except that he is a little weak and innocent. And innocence... For a young Sakota, being a little innocent is normal.

Fang Zhou's words also made Felia fall into thought. He certainly knew that the current environment he and Cecilia were in would definitely have a great impact on the latter's growth, but his own situation was so special, what else could she do?

She looked at the people in front of her. Perhaps, as they said, participating in that unknown world was a good choice.

Through empathy, she could sense that at least the Pope in front of her was not lying. If she agreed to help, Cecilia should have a good ending.

At least it would be much better than waiting for this child to live alone on this earth after his death as he expected.

"..."

Seeing Felia fall into silence, no one else present urged the mother, because they all knew that this was a very difficult choice.

"I understand, but I want to know what my daughter is going to do. I believe that His Holiness the Pope will not put Cecilia in danger, but as a mother, I still want to know what choice my daughter will make given everyone's expectations."

Evangelista XXI nodded. This request was not a big deal to them, and it was indeed a normal response for a mother. They could fully understand it.

"This matter is very simple. You can understand it as old man. I recently received the same 'revelation' as the first generation of saints. In this revelation, I learned about you and your daughter. It was also in this revelation that the law revealed that your daughter will play a vital role in the future of Lateran and usher in a new era. It is even possible that the Revelation Stone Bell will toll for her."

No lies.

Feeling the steady fluctuations of Evangelista XXI's mood, Felia, knowing that he was not lying, felt a little dizzy.

Although she had committed a heinous crime by becoming a lover of a Sarkaz and even had a child with him, Felia, who was born and raised in this city, naturally knew the mysterious legends in Lateran's history, and revelation was among them.

In addition to revelation, another term mentioned by Evangelista XXI in his words, the Revelation Stone, also occupies a very important position in the legend of Lateran.

Because the last time this bell rang was when the first generation of saints built the Lateran thousands of years ago.

And now, His Holiness the Pope not only said that he learned about himself and his daughter from the revelation, but also said that the Stone Bell of Revelation is likely to ring again in the history of Lateran because of his daughter. For Felia, who is a bit rebellious against tradition but still a devout Lateran, the amount of information is really too much.

"Your Holiness...are you telling the truth?"

Even though he had sensed through empathy that Evangelista XXI in front of him was not lying, Filia still asked again in disbelief, hoping to listen to the Pope's answer with his ears.

"Of course this is true. You should be able to feel that I am not lying."

If Felia had some doubts about what Evangelista XXI and the others said before, then when the Pope mentioned the god of the Lateran Church, all the doubts in her heart had disappeared.

For the Sakota people, never joke with God. Those in Liberi and other races may not be able to understand the existence of God in the doctrine, but as Sakota, they are very devout in their belief in God. After all, in a sense, they can really feel the existence of God.

Moreover, the one who invoked the name of God was the current religious leader, Pope Evangelista XXI. Having said that, Felia could no longer doubt the truthfulness of what these people said.

"That's wonderful, Cecilia, that's wonderful, Cecilia. The gods have not given up on you, and the law has not given up on my child."

The overwhelming joy instantly overwhelmed the poor mother's heart, causing her to hug her child tightly and cry bitterly.

Little Cecilia, who had no idea what was going on, could only look at her crying mother helplessly. Then, she gently hugged her mother's head, touched her hair, and sang her favorite lullaby softly, just like her mother usually did to comfort her.
