In this world, only three humans were known to possess the light affinity. One was Celestina, princess of the Frost Clan. The other two belonged to the Ten Heavenly Churches.
One of them was the Pope—secretly one of the sovereigns of the world.
The other... was the Saintess. Liliane.
She was also the final member of Lumine's harem—at least, up to the point where Azriel had read the book.
The story between the two female light users had always intrigued Azriel.
Silver hair was believed, by the Ten Heavenly Churches, to be a symbol of purity. Those born with it were thought to be chosen—closer to the ten gods, and to mana itself.
The Ten Heavenly Churches were a single unified religion, honoring ten divine gods. Each "church" was a branch devoted to one deity, but all were bound together under one sacred body.
