@Introvert So
Spoiler!
Instead of arguing, Camilla said that she had received a revelation from God. Everyone became silent because a revelation was considered God's direct command, something even the Pope could not ignore. She explained that this revelation had been the reason she visited the orphanage earlier. Then Camilla completely changed her expression. She became cold and serious like a judge. Secretly, she was following the ghost Arena's instructions, since Arena knew the hidden crimes committed by the church officials.
✕Camilla announced that God had shown her that many people inside the church had stained His name through terrible sins. She began exposing them one by one. She accused one priest of stealing donations that were meant for orphanages. The priest immediately froze because it was true. She accused another priest of abusing children, saying he had falsely claimed they were possessed by demons so he could torture them.
Then she looked directly at Cardinal Stela. She revealed that he had SA'ed young priests who trusted him. Some of his victims had become so traumatized that they ended their own lives. Even worse, after their deaths, Cardinal Stela had publicly condemned them as sinners instead of admitting his own crimes. The Pope finally lost his calm and insisted that no such people existed in the church. But Camilla was not finished. She brought up Divine Indulgences, accusing church leaders of selling God's forgiveness in exchange for money. This clearly unsettled the Pope because he knew exactly what she was talking about. Finally, Camilla looked at every guilty church official and declared that God had commanded all of these sinners to be captured and burned alive as punishment for their sins. After delivering this terrifying judgment, she suddenly smiled sweetly again and innocently asked, "So... do I really need to become the Saintess?" The room fell completely silent. No one could answer her. The Pope and the church leaders were left shocked, frightened, and unsure of what to do next.
Autumn arrived, and the weather became cool and pleasant. Zeno and Arena, even though they had not known each other for very long, became good friends. Arena often visited the temple and the Papal Palace to quietly observe what the church was doing. Just as Camilla expected, many church leaders were trying to call her a heretic and accuse her of blasphemy. Cardinal Stella especially wanted her to be judged by the Inquisition. However, Camilla had already predicted this and said she had a plan. She wanted to find something that would prove she was not a heretic once and for all. For five days, the Papal Palace was filled with endless arguments. Some priests insisted Camilla could not be a saint because she had insulted the church, while others defended her by pointing out that she had saved dying children with divine power. Some people also brought up her past, saying she had a violent personality and had once fought another noblewoman in public. Cardinal Stella even claimed that what everyone saw might have been magic instead of divine power because Camilla's brother, Arcian, was a talented mage. Others strongly disagreed, saying magic could never perform such miracles.
I like to post spoilers for the stories I find interesting because I don't have much time to read novel due to busy schedule you will find me in most romantic historical manhwa comment sections
