I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

81 – Selene

Ender first met Selene, the former saint who held the title of white, when she was 7 years old.

At the time, Ender was both the owner of the Mage Tower and the dean of Arcana, so he was constantly busy, so meeting Selene was literally no different than a coincidence.

If I had to explain my first impression of Selene at that time.

‘A little. No, she was a very peculiar child.’

I can explain it like that.

Anyway, the reason Ender met Selene was simple.

It was because Damien Wagner, a childhood friend who would later become her husband, accidentally bumped into Ender, who was returning to Arcana after completing her duties as Lord Reinen.

Her party, Damian, and her other childhood friend, Damian’s twin sister, Hecate, were at a loss and panicked.

Leaving aside the fact that commoners and nobles collided, the drink Damian was drinking while walking soaked Ender’s coat.

As anyone can see, in reality there was no way that young commoner children had the money to pay for an expensive coat.

But Selene, standing at her far left, calmed them both down and quietly apologized to Ender.

She asked if you could forgive her just once.

She bowed her head, saying that she was sorry for spilling her drink on her coat and for almost damaging the clothes of a nobleman despite being a commoner.

Her expression was calm and unwavering, and she had no hesitation in bowing her head on Damian’s behalf.

As if this much could be done of course.

She is, of course, up until this point, you might think that she is simply a little grown-up child.

But that wasn’t why when Ender looked back on Selene’s first impression of her, she felt unusual.

In the first place, knowing that it was the children’s mistake, Ender intended to just give a simple admonition and move on, and in fact, at the end, he lightly patted the three of them on the head and smiled.

And when Ender, who was about to return to Arcana, suddenly looked back at her, she saw Selene smiling as she looked at Damian and Hecate.

She was in a position where she could have been angry at Damian for not doing anything because she made a mistake and was embarrassed, but she was just laughing.

She seemed to be happy enough with the trivial daily life of being with them.

Her smile was warm, benevolent, and calm.

At least, it was absolutely not a laugh that an ordinary 6-7 year old child could make, and it was unavoidable even if you thought it was unusual.

But, to put it another way, it was just that much of a memory.

She may have thought that she had an unusual child, but it was not a particularly special memory.

It was just an incident that would naturally be forgotten after a few days.

It didn’t take long for Ender and Selene to meet again after such a meeting.

About two years had passed, and a rumor came to Ender’s ears.

It was rumored that a girl prayed every day at Martires Church in Reinen.

It must have been destiny, Ender still believed.

For some reason, the first thing that came to my mind when I heard that rumor was an unusual girl from two years ago, whom I had completely forgotten about until then.

When he went to the church with such interest, Ender saw the saintess.

Without saying a word, he closed his eyes and saw the little angel praying silently in a very reverent posture.

Although it has already been 40 years, Selene’s appearance at that time was still clear to Ender.

Only one girl was praying, and the atmosphere around her was holier than anything Ender had ever seen.

In any case, it was only after Selene finished her prayers and stood up from her seat that Ender came to his senses and was able to speak to him.

That was the moment when the long and short relationship between Ender and Selene began properly.

If you ask Ender what kind of person Selene is, he will always say that she was a stronger child than anyone else.

My body is naturally weak, so after walking for 30 minutes, my body heats up.

As a result of a very young illness, he is blind in his left eye and barely able to see in his right eye.

Even if some criticize that when she looks at her like that, her blurry gaze is uncomfortable even though she is looking at it.

Selene never lost her smile.

Rather, she cherishes every moment and always spreads goodwill to everyone around her.

The world never spared their gratitude, saying that they always cherished and loved him.

Even though it wouldn’t have been strange if she resented her parents for leaving her when she was young, or even someone else she was just around.

In other words, to Ender, Selene was a true saint.

She receives a revelation from the god Eos, and she is not a saint as a position that can only be attained by undergoing trials from the Central Church of Martires.

She is an ideal adult that anyone can imitate.

★

Selene’s talent began to bloom in an instant after she met Ender.

Unmatched aptitude for light-attribute magic.

She is only a 10-year-old child who can handle light attribute magic that goes beyond the senior archbishop of the Martires Church.

Ender was delighted with the fact and offered to fix her eyes, but Selene laughed quietly and declined the offer.

‘Teacher. There will be visible things because they are invisible, and there will be invisible things because they are visible.

If I have this kind of talent, it must mean that I should try for someone harder than me.

A miracle always comes unexpectedly. It’s up to you to get your hands on it. Just like I met the teacher.

So, like you, I want to become a person who can be a miracle to someone, a person who can be found as a miracle.

So I don’t want to fix this eye. If I do that, I’m sure it will be comfortable, but I feel like I’m gradually losing the things I was able to see.’

Ender couldn’t break Selene’s stubbornness when she said that.

Because Ender also sympathized with her words in his heart.

Another year has passed.

And Selene received the title of white at the age of 11 from the Martires Church, and at the same time as her appointment ceremony ended, she received a revelation from the god Eos.

Her revelation to her to expand her own world even more while looking around her empire.

Six months later.

At the age of 11, Selene became a white saint of the Order of Martires.

It’s been 13 years since Ender and Selene first met, and Selene’s Arcana graduation day.

She came to Ender with her childhood friend, Damian, who entered the school with her.

Damian, a commoner, was a special student who entered Arcana after being recognized for his talent as a knight.

Of course, it was only possible because of Damien’s desire to be with Selene, and Ender knew that better than anyone else.

Anyway, Selene told Ender that right after she graduated, she was going to marry Damian, and as her father, she asked if he could attend her wedding.

Of course, Ender readily accepted with a smile.

Even to him, who had no children because she was not married, Selene was already a daughter.

Of course, after graduating from Arcana, the frequency with which Ender could meet Selene was noticeably reduced.

He is the owner of the Magic Tower and the dean of Arcana.

Selene is because she had to work as a saint of the Martires Church.

She couldn’t even claim that she was taking care of her because she was also a full-fledged adult now.

If it wasn’t lonely, it would have been a lie.

But her letters from her at least every four days made her feel so lonely.

From ordinary everyday stories.

Even troubles that are difficult to share with those around you.

Ender always cared for Selene as her daughter and disciple.

Selene respected and relied on Ender as her father and gift.

Ender had no doubt that this relationship would last her whole life until she died.

But after 4 years.

I heard the news that Selene was killed in an attack by unknown assailants.

To be precise, she wasn’t the only one.

Damian, Selene’s husband and active as a paladin of the Martires Church.

That day, Hecate visited to meet them after a long time.

Even Shion, the daughter of Selene, who was born amidst the blessings of everyone in the empire.

It was shocking news that everyone had died.

After the funeral, a letter arrived to Ender, who was in despair and unable to do anything.

It was Selene’s will to Ender.

In the letter, there were several stories written along with an apology to say sorry that I would be leaving first.

But what caught Ender’s attention the most were the sentences at the end.

‘Teacher. I have always said that miracles come unexpectedly and it is only up to you to catch them.

The greatest miracle in my life has always been meeting the teacher.

To me, who was weak and unable to see properly, the teacher showed me a beautiful light.

So even if I die, I hope you don’t stop.

Because you are the kind of person who can give someone a miracle.

Even though it is sad and difficult, please get up again at the end and reach out to someone in need. Make a miracle

If my death is heartbreakingly sad, please don’t stop.

The future that people who have received your help will surely be brighter than anything else.

Thanks to you, I have always been happy.

Thank you very much, father.

Selene, the best disciple and the best daughter.’

Sorrow flowed quietly from Ender’s eyes, which he thought were completely dry now.

One drop, two drops.

Little by little, the letter paper got wet and the letters began to spread.

But Ender eventually wiped away his tears and stood up slowly.

Selene’s death had already been predicted by Olivia.

But if she was Selene, even if she was, she wasn’t the type to sit still and nod her head.

She was never the type to prepare for death from the beginning and leave a will.

In other words, Ender was already convinced that her death was the result of her own acceptance.

I don’t know why.

As Ender, she couldn’t understand why Selene, who valued the people around her more than anyone else, sacrificed Damian, Hecate, and even her own daughter, Shion.

But she believed there must be a reason.

So Ender couldn’t stay still any longer.

I had to wake up and create a miracle and a brilliant future according to her wishes.

When I meet Selene again someday, so that I can say it with a proud smile.
