𖹭 Summary 𖹭
At the age of eight, Helicia suddenly awakened divine power and became a saintess.
But just as she reached adulthood, that power vanished without warning.
To make matters worse, when the Third Prince was killed by rebels, all the blame fell on her.
Thus began her fate—dying in witch hunts, over and over again.
Seventeen times.
And every time she opened her eyes, she was eight years old again—
an orphan at the moment her divine power first awakened.
Each time, she was also granted a different, random ability.
Her 18th life.
This time, she chooses power.
Before her divine power disappears again, she must escape the Holy Empire.
And to do that, she has to deal with the root of her repeated deaths—the Third Prince.
Before the rebellion begins, she will make him Emperor.
“If you think that’ll take off an enemy general’s head—do it like this!”
She split a rock in half with a wooden sword, making Arpessian clutch his head.
“If that’s even possible?!”
“Hah, you can’t even lift a bed? Not very impressive.”
“Why do I need to lift a bed to be impressive?”
“Well… you kind of do, don’t you?”
If Arpessian lived, then so would she—
so she trained him relentlessly.
In the end, Arpessian became Emperor after winning the war.
She thought she’d finally be free…
But he came back.
“Helicia. I can split rocks with a sword now.”
“So?”
“I can lift a bed with one hand, too.”
“And?”
“I’ve met all the conditions. So let’s get married.”
“…Saintesses can’t marry.”
“Then I brought you a wedding gift.”
“The High Priest’s head.”
