Chen Yi looked at Jane, who traveled to a small village without even a church. She healed the farmers' livestock and baptized the children who had not yet been baptized, although according to the rules, only priests could perform various ceremonies.
God knew that Jane believed in Him and was kind-hearted and intelligent.
She is undoubtedly the best person to teach Venakana.
Such a devout and kind-hearted nun met the desperate and lonely Venakana, taught and guided Venakana. This was the mission that God wanted to give her.
And Jane had already made all preparations for that unclear mission.
When the whole world fell into silence, Jane, who had been busy all day, stayed overnight at a farmer's house. When her body lay on the bed of wheat straw, sleep suddenly came over her.
She had a dream and fell into a deep sleep. She dreamed of a person who was full of light and showed a magnificent city in her eyes.
The scene was like a revolving lantern, flickering in an instant. Jane saw the ring cathedral, the splendid palace, the ruins of the city within the city... Large and small scenes of the Holy City appeared in her mind.
Scene after scene alternated, gradually becoming blurry, as if a curtain was slowly being drawn, blocking every inch of light. Finally, Jane realized that her surroundings had fallen into darkness, and there was no more scene in her eyes.
The one who was full of light was watching her silently in the darkness, and Jane felt the warmth of praying in the church for a long time.
After a long time, a faint candlelight appeared in the haze.
Jane stared at the strange scene in her dream, and she vaguely realized that the Lord was telling her what mission He was going to give her. "This is what I've been waiting for."
Jane murmured vaguely.
Because of a sudden glimpse one day, she determined to study theology, understand the mysteries of heaven, and gradually realized what she believed in. To this end, she traveled to preach three times.
She had already prepared for today.
She had long made up her mind that when that day came, she would not be afraid of the road ahead, let alone lack of strength.
Jane stared at the candlelight in her dream. Suddenly, the light of the candlelight slowly expanded until the surrounding area was illuminated brightly.
The nun saw a bedroom with a weak woman lying on the bed. She looked at the child lovingly, as if she had given birth not long ago and had not yet recovered.
Jane's eyes were involuntarily attracted to the woman's child, and then she heard the woman ordering the maids to light the candlesticks as she was about to pray.
However, when the maids brought the candlestick, the woman shook her head and said no.
Jane turned her face and stared at the tears on the woman's face. The nun's faith suddenly tightened.
"The Lord said:"
The woman shed tears and said:
"'Daughters of the Holy City, I charge you:
Do not disturb, do not wake the one I love until she wants to. '"
............
Jane woke up from her dream covered in sweat.
She was breathing heavily, and no words could describe her dream.
At this time, Jane heard the first midnight crow of a rooster outside the house. It was still late at night. She sat up from the bed, slowly clasped her hands together, and recited scriptures in a low and pious voice.
Jane continued to recite like this for more than an hour. After half a chant, she slowly raised her face.
He must go to the Holy City to find the child.
Because that is the mission God has given Himself.
When the second rooster crow sounded in the morning, Jane packed her bags and set off.
And when Jane walked all the way to the Holy Capital.
The time has come to May. Although it has not yet reached the hottest month of July, summer has begun to emerge slightly. After many days of bumps, Jane's face has been tanned yellow, and her wrinkled forehead looks less kind.
Even though the journey was difficult, Jane never forgot her mission.

Things haven't gotten better for Venakana.
Facing the inevitable fate, the princess became extremely depressed, and her temperament also became violent under the pressure.
Venakana treated the maids coldly, and would even occasionally hit the maids' hands, feet, and heads with silver plates because the water temperature was uncomfortable. She would often ring the bell repeatedly throughout the night to wake up the maids who were sleeping vigilantly. Sometimes he was asked to study, and sometimes he was asked to help write letters.
She became more neurotic every day.
One time, Venakana got a dagger from nowhere, cut off the maid's hair while she was sleeping, and stuffed it into the pillow. Just because she read in the book that the blood and hair of old maids have the effect of exorcising evil spirits.
And when Vinakana slashed the dagger at the maid's arm, the latter woke up from the pain and fled from her bedroom in panic. Vinakana screamed and stood up to chase the maid back, but failed. He accidentally forgot that he was disabled and fell to the ground in a state of disgrace, wailing helplessly in pain.
But even so, the princess is still loved by her parents.
There is no responsibility that binds this princess. Since there is no precedent for a woman to inherit the throne in the Kingdom of Leyton, Vinakana naturally does not have the burden of enthroning and coronating.
At the same time, Ulysses and Remedios took pity on their disabled child and gave her unlimited pampering. Even though the maids around her were miserable and complained several times in front of the kind queen, Remedios Silu never scolded the princess, but changed the maids around her one batch after another.
The endless love of her parents taught Veena Khanna nothing to do.
It would be nice if I really had no conscience at all.
In the middle of the night, Venakana would often think like this while pressing her legs occupied by dead souls.
She is not a naturally withdrawn and violent child.
Venakana faced the coming family curse, but her mouth was closed by fate. Her parents who loved her could not help her, and the Lord whom the world said did not save her. She struggled sadly in loneliness.
She knew that Ulysses and Remedios loved her and always had.
That love left Venakana helpless.
Because she couldn't respond to that love.
She hasn't learned how to love yet.
The night was full of dark clouds, which was a sign of heavy rain. Venakana by the window could not see the stars behind the dark clouds.
A heartbreaking pain came from her disabled legs, and Vina Khanna's face showed a ferocious expression for a moment. At some point, she no longer concealed her emotions.
The maids were kicked out of the room by Venakana early. Not only did the former not feel it was a humiliation, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No one liked to serve the princess.
The princess raised her head and looked at the sky outside the window. The thousands of miles of dark clouds reminded her of King Laurent's epic poem.
"Oh God..."
Venakana crooned.
She poured out these words, but there was not much piety in her mouth.
"Lord, just as you did for King Laurent, reveal it to me now."
Venakana pondered with the embers of faith.
After the words fell, the princess immediately shook her head and smiled coldly. Her appearance just now was too ridiculous and stupid.
"That's just the god of fools..."
She thought rebelliously and blasphemously, but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Her faith in God was ambivalent.

............................
Remedios was worried about Vena Cana. Ever since her daughter became seriously ill, Remedios had not been worried for a day. In recent days, Remedios has become truly panicked.
Because she noticed that her daughter prayed with God less and less these days. She no longer looked at the holy icon three times a day like she did. Even the communion bread that her father brought back from mass, Venakana often Not touching it is like deliberately forgetting that there is a mass in this world.
That is by no means a path to heaven.
Remedios thought, no priest has ever said that one can go to heaven if one does not believe in the Lord. On the contrary, since the time of Blessed Luke, several popes have issued oracles telling the world that pagans are not allowed to enter the kingdom of heaven.
While Remedios was panicking, she also made some attempts. She personally took Vina Cana out of the bedroom to pray, or recited scriptures to Vina Cana at night. However, the queen's energy was limited, and she spent every day They all have to assist in their husband's government affairs, and from time to time they have to take stock of the treasury and manage the palace.
Remedios also realized that her efforts did not stop Venakana from heading towards the path of unbelief.
She even often saw Venakana unintentionally scorning icons and masses.
Therefore, Remedios became even more panicked. Her initial plan was that as a mother, she would slowly persuade her daughter to return to the path of faith.
Remedios also planned to tell her daughter that when she was born, she heard the oracle, and the Lord said to her personally: He has given you a mission, but you don’t know it yet.
However, based on her own observations, Remedios was keenly aware that if she carried out her original plan step by step...
That would never drag Venakana back to the path of faith, but would push the withdrawn child further and further away.
"We need to find a church teacher for this child." Remedios said to her husband with a worried face.
Ulysses, who was busy dealing with government affairs, never had the leisure to observe children like Remedios, but as a king, he had also heard about Venakana's behavior from his attendants.
Ulysses loved his only child and trusted his queen, so after a brief inquiry, he agreed to the queen's request.
Remedios then set out to find a suitable church teacher for the princess. The upper-class nobles were rich and would often invite famous priests and priests to teach their children literacy, Bible reading, rhetoric, and occasionally mathematics and logic. Professor of knowledge such as science and heraldry.
At this time, a huge scandal was reported in a certain noble family in the Holy City. Remedios, who had always been devout in worship, heard about this from the mouth of the talkative maid. Her face changed greatly and she seriously considered looking for the church. Teacher's business.
The big scandal that day was that a certain well-known priest actually had an unspeakable affair with the little daughter of a noble family, and developed a corrupt relationship.
How dare you be so blasphemous? He is a lifelong priest!
Because of this, Remedios had to omit all male church teachers.
The queen sent her maids to various noble families and major nunneries in the suburbs of the royal capital to find a competent nun with rich theological attainments.
Maybe it was an accident, or maybe there really was a master making arrangements for everything in this world.
On a cloudless Sunday afternoon, the Queen and her husband went to the Ring Cathedral as usual to watch Mass under the vast and beautiful dome.
When the royal carriage with four statues of saints was walking on the street.
A tall handkerchief appeared among the passers-by. On this Sunday, it should not have been noticed by people.
However, Remedios, who had been struggling to find a church teacher, glanced at the nun subconsciously.
At this moment, the nun looked curiously at this extremely luxurious carriage.
When the queen's dignified face appeared at the carriage window, Jane was in great shock.
She rushed over almost desperately. After traveling a long distance, Jane rarely had the opportunity to clean herself. Her unkempt appearance startled Ulysses next to the queen.
The king suddenly put his hand on the dagger he carried with him, and he was alert.
At this moment, Remedios suddenly felt a sense of calmness in her heart, and she had a premonition of something coming suddenly, just like the legendary will of the Lord.
"You are the mother of that child!"
Jane chased the carriage with her legs raised and said excitedly,
She raised her hand and made a circle salute.
"Please Lord, have mercy on her! She doesn't know the mission of that child yet."
Remedios was impressed by those hasty but well-prepared words, and she realized that the nun in front of her was the church teacher she was looking for.
.............................
.............................
After attending Mass, Jane was brought to the palace by the royal attendants. After a long bath, Jane got rid of her fatigue.
The maids immediately introduced her to Remedios.
"Who are you?" asked the queen.
"I am Jane...I only have this name. I am Jane of Cassenia Abbey." Jane said, "Dear Madam, may God bless you."
"May the Lord bless you," Remedios said with a smile.
Then, Remedios pushed away the maid beside her.
Jane knew that Remedios had some questions that she wanted to ask herself privately.
"Sister Sister, how did you find me...what do you know about my child?"
Remedios asked bluntly when there was no one around.
"The Lord has given me a mission, and the Lord has given her a mission, and my mission is about your children..."
Jane did not hide anything, she truthfully told Remedios her dream.
Remedios listened word by word. The Queen's seriousness at the beginning gradually turned to surprise. Jane's description was almost exactly the same as her memory of that day, and there was not much difference.
After listening to Jane's description, Remedios couldn't help but sigh in her heart. When she needed a church teacher the most, Jane, who claimed that she had a mission, appeared in front of her like this. This was simply divine. s arrangement.
Remedios made a decision immediately - she wanted to ask Jane to be Vena Cana's church teacher.
Jane had no reason to refuse.
Rather than saying that, it would be better to say that she was looking forward to completing the mission given to her by the Lord and accomplishing her third missionary journey.
And this nun in her forties would not have expected that Venakana, who was slowly moving towards unbelief, would actually develop rudimentary unbelief thoughts.
She will face an extremely serious problem tomorrow.
That was a question from Venakana that struck a chord with her faith:
Why do good and righteous people often not only receive no rewards in this world, but also suffer hardships and torture in this world, and some even end up dying in pain?
