章 86: 2.47

Of course, Ariel didn't know how she turned out to be in the original story after the fact that the Saintess that was chosen turned out to be Serenia.

She thought that she had the utmost backing of the empire, but it was probably just a little experiment by the Emperor, not meaning much of it. Other theories might suggest to Caelum manipulating some strings behind the back to shove Glazelle away from the position.
