(Mael's POV)
Just as I entered the village, my real home came into view.
But what piqued my sight was a blond hair girl standing right in front of the house with a bright smile on her face.
I dropped my luggage and ran towards her. She also started to run before we embraced each other with tears and a smile on our faces.
I then lifted her chin and gazed at her eyes. "I am home."
"Umu, welcome back dear~" She beamed a smiled before holding my hand and taking me to the house.
An hour later.
After meeting with Jacques and Isabelle and eating lunch together, Jeanne took me to meet Eliza.
When I opened the door of the church, I saw the same girl. White hair and blue eyes, she was also waiting for me with a big smile on her face.
"Welcome back, my child." Eliza smiled and then we both hugged each other.
And so few days had been passed. I noticed that Jeanne had become way more mature and there was not the slightest trace of her childish side left. She appeared more dignified and affirmed than she was back when I last saw her. And yes, it includes her body too. Her jumbo size was a sight to be seen.
Since those were warring times, I hardly got any left so I had to utilize the time in the best way possible.
Before the day of leave, I was talking with Eliza and Jeanne and was about to tell them my plan, when Jeanne handed me an envelope.
"What is this, Jeanne?" I asked since the envelope was to be sent to King Charles VII.
Eliza and Jeanne looked at each other before Eliza nodded and then Jeanne began to speak her motive.
"Are you crazy?!!" My anger erupted the first time.
Jeanne wanted me to reveal her identity as some sort of oracle who could see angels and will lead France towards victory! What kind of plan is this? It's basically a suicide mission!
"And Eliza, why are you encouraging her for this? Don't you know that France has no chance to survive?" I looked at Eliza and retorted.
Both of them remained silent before Jeanne looked at me with firmed face and spoke, "I am absolutely sure that I can do this. Mael, please have a little faith in your teacher and me…"
"I…" I didn't have words. Even though I was a little upset that they made this plan on their own without including my consent but I didn't want to bash them like an idiot. They were very important people in my life so I could at least hear them.
Jeanne then gently held my hand and looked at my eyes, "Mael, I know it is a selfish decision but I believe in Eliza who can see the future and lead me to a better end. I also always knew that you want to escape from this country to keep me safe." She then started caressing my cheek and smiled, "But I don't want to live a life of a coward and regret life while running away. Surely, you also don't want to live that way, right?"
Right, how could anyone live like that? Even I sometimes felt sick with my plan but as a rational person, I had to work even if I am called a coward.
I then looked at Eliza and asked, "Eliza, then let me do it. You know that as a-"
"Mael, we both know the kind of charisma Jeanne has, you don't have," Eliza said before hearing me out.
I turned my head down as I was also aware of Jeanne and her skills.
I then turned towards Jeanne who looked guilty for hiding her intention all along from me.
However, I was not upset as I knew that my plan was a cowardly way out and also would not help us in long run.
I chuckled and caressed her cheek gently, "Relax, my sweetheart~. I know very well how determined you are to help your country so I won't pursue this matter any further."
At this point, both of them looked at each other and smiled.
Jeanne jumped and hugged me happily and I also returned the favor. I have to say, she developed in the right way. The food she used to eat paid off.
But before agreeing I asked Eliza one final question, "Eliza, what are the odds of France winning the war?"
"100% but most of all, I assure you that you will live a happy life with Jeanne." Eliza beamed an assuring smile.
At first, I thought that she was hiding something from me but I refrained from making any false assumption to disdain our relationship as one was my teacher and the other was my love.
However, I didn't know that it was the first step that will change the future of the whole world at that time.

(3rd Person's POV)
"So the oracle has revealed herself…" Francois spoke after reading the letter Mael intended to send to Charles VII.
After Mael came back from his home village, he requested Gilles to send a letter to King Charles VII who in return, requested Francois for the same.
"Hmm, I was right. Mael is indeed connected to the oracle."
Francois smirked then he took out a letter from the drawer. After writing his father about the news, he cast a spell on the letter and it disappeared from his hand.
"Hmmm, I am excited for soon to get promoted." Francois chuckled.
He knew that Mael was not a simple person the moment he met the weak human and the moment the same weak human dared to test Francois's identity.
Only people with the core Christen background will first test the identity of a demon by praying. And since Mael was only an orphan and was not nurtured for being a priest, there is no way his background could be that simple to be unaware of the existence of demons.
"Maybe I am too cautious. He still has used so I will let him take out the oracle on the surface. It will be best if the angle guiding the oracle doesn't detect us first."
It means that if he does something reckless by sending those goons, Pike and Dick, to look after Mael and his oracle friend, it will only create a problem if the said angel gets involved so for the time being he will only wait and see what the oracle is even capable of.

Underworld
Four individuals were sitting on a round table in a room with a single silver-haired person standing behind one of the four.
They were all four Demon Kings of the underworld.
"So the oracle decided to reveal herself, huh…" The one who muttered and broke the silence was a person with sharp eyes and pointed ears. He had black short hair and pale skin, appearing in his early 20s. His name was Asmodeus, one of the great demon kings of the underworld.
(AN: He looks like Creuserey Asmodeus from DXD but with short hair instead of long.)
He was the most known for his immense talent in controlling nature. Whether they are insects, plants, or soil, he was the master of anything that lies on the surface.
"It means that we are closer to our goals. Hehehe! I can't wait to drink angel blood. My favorite dessert~" Another person said while drinking what seems like blood containing three humanoid fingers.
He had blue hair, fins like ears, and sharp eyes like a shark. With pale bluish skin with a height of 8 feet tall, he appeared to be the tallest among all the people present in the room.
His name was Leviathan, one of the strongest demon kings. If Asmodeus was the king of the surface that Leviathan ruled the waters.
He had the best control over the sea. Although he currently looks like a human, his real appearance is that of a giant sea serpent.
(AN: He looks like Kisame from Naruto but has much taller built and long hair.)
"If my estimation is correct then time should be right for the oracle to rise. We have a great chance if her soul is to be consumed as soon as she dies in despair." Another of the individuals sitting said while pushing his glasses up to his nose.
He appeared to be a slender man who can be described as a demon with dark skin and nicely combed black hair. Behind the round glasses are eyes so squinted that they are not normally visible.
(AN: More or less similar to Demiurge from Overlord.)
His name was Beelzebub, one of the demon kings. Although he was the weakest among all four in terms of strength, he was the brain of the whole underworld. He was said to be the most intelligent demon ever existed. Whether it is about intelligence networking or maintaining the underground relationship with other pantheons, his skills were unrivaled.
"That's right! It is finally the time for us to kill God and rule the whole world! I will finally make heaven pay for all the humiliation they have caused!" Finally, the last man sitting on the round table spoke and laughed.
He was the king of the underworld and ruler as well as the father of the whole devil race, the supreme demon king, Lucifer Morningstar.
(AN: His real form, as well as human form, is similar to DC Show: Lucifer Morningstar. I tried to look for others from anime but, hey, he is my favorite. I am still unclear whether I should add the name Morningstar or not.)
He then looked at the man standing behind him and asked, "How is a battle going with heaven? Any news from Heaven?"
The man standing behind him, with silver long hair and beard, nodded and answered, "Not for the moment. Other than what it seems like skirmishes, God is silent for the moment no matter how many angels we kill."
His name was Von Lucifuge, head of one of the extra demon clans who have pledged their direct alliance to Lucifer Clan instead of all other demon king clans combined, the house of Lucifuge.
(AN: His appearance is similar to Van Hoenheim from Full metal alchemist but with silver hair color.)
"Cheh! Fa- God has gone weak that he doesn't even care for his precious angels." Lucifer clicked his tongue and snorted in dismay.
He planned to oppose heaven and kill God to become king of the whole world and reshape the world according to his desire but God was ignoring him like he never even consider Lucifer other than a mere insect.
Why God is ignoring them? Because Biblical God is said to be the strongest entity in this universe, rivaling even Great Red and Ophis, the two strongest dragon gods of this universe.
But according to Lucifer, his ignorance would make him pay a great time because Lucifer, along with other demon kings has acquired some means to avoid God's curse that is the devil race's ultimate weakness, the holy power of the god.
Demons were also in possession of the highest population compared to all living specimen combined, humans, gods, and other intellectual species that comes in the category of a proper race.
And not to mention that they were in a developing phase to make weapons and equipment that lets them enter the human world without getting the attention of God.
"Very well, God. Since you love those weak humans more than your own created children right? I will kill and tear your beloved children right in front of your eyes." Lucifer chuckled before getting the attention of his fellow demon kings. "Prepare for war now. Keep attacking angles and don't make them notice our activities in the human world. Also, prepare a good stock of humans believers, especially children and women. Not that their prayers can do shit."
"Hai!" All of them nodded in unison before disappearing in the blink of an eye leaving only Lucifer and Von Lucifuge alone.
Why humans couldn't defend themselves with prayers? It was because they brainwashed them before torturing and consuming their souls to become stronger.
The more strong belief a human has in god, the stronger a demon becomes if he were to consume of said human, and what else would be more beneficial for demon kings than consuming the soul of oracles, the god's beloved humans?....
