Chapter 225: Light and Curses..

Light and darkness, white and black.

If someone were to ask what color dominates the souls of others, most would find it difficult to answer.

After all, people can't be so easily categorized into two distinct shades.

The world isn't divided into simple absolutes like good or evil; humans are more complicated than that.

Life, as it turns out, is far more gray—an ever-shifting spectrum of morality, circumstance, and intent.

But for Emilia—things were far simpler, if not stark.

She had been born with a divine gift, a blessing granted by the great goddess herself, that allowed her to see the world in a way no one else could.

To her, the souls of people were laid bare, stripped of their pretenses and illusions.

In her eyes, the world was divided into light and darkness, good and evil.

The brighter a soul, the more righteous and blessed its bearer.

The darker it was, the more corrupt, vile, and beyond redemption.
