My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1989

"Damn it!" Marie muttered as she looked around.

At that moment, the pope flew to the top of the palace. "Oh, dear children, receive the baptism of the Supreme Archmage!"

With a wave of the pope's hand, a golden light appeared, showering down on Sven and Marie.

Sven held Marie's hand tightly and stood in front of her. "The scorching Sacred Flames will burn everything to ashes!"

In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and the entire palace was reduced to ruins in just a moment. However, Sven and Marie stood there unharmed.

"How is this possible?!" the pope exclaimed in disbelief.

Sven smiled confidently. "This is our power."

…

Before the battle, Sven had asked Val a question. "As an amateur Esper, can I really save this country?"

Val had given a definitive answer, "You can't do it alone, but together, you can."

"Together?" Sven glanced at Torah.

"Not me! The Queen! The Queen!" Torah had said disdainfully.

"The Queen?!"

Val continued, "That's right. There's a prophecy that the King and Queen each hold the power of life and death. When they come together, no force can separate them."

"Huh? I don't quite understand," Sven had said, puzzled.

"In short, when you meet the Queen, you'll understand."

...

After meeting Marie and hearing her story, Sven realized that their powers canceled each other out. This put them in a state where no force could harm them.

"What?" Clint asked, confused.

"Nothing, nothing. With so many big shots here, there shouldn't be any problems. Since this is being held in Drakonia, do you think those big shots might take a stroll around Drakonia after dinner to solve some worldly problems?"

"What? They wouldn't bother." Clint scoffed.

Zaafea smiled knowingly. "Yes. You're right. They probably won't have the time."

Nash suddenly stood up. "Zaafea, is what you're saying true?"

"I didn't say anything. Revealing the heavens' secrets brings divine retribution. Besides, I can't even talk about your father."

"His father? What are you talking about?" Clint asked, even more confused.

"Nothing. It's nothing," Zaafea replied.
