[Young Diana point of view]
"So that Duke's son keep on pestering you? What a jerk!" [Young Diana]
"True, but don't worry, it's nothing serious" [Young Alice]
"Still, we can't just keep quiet about it" [Young Qis]
"The same can happen to us, so it's nothing we can keep quiet about" [Young Linda]
And thus, all of us sit down together and form a plan or two, just to realize how utterly useless and powerless all of us were. We can't do much as women in general are powerless in the face of male dominated society, a hard fact that all of us have to swallow, for now as we keep on improving ourselves
Then, that is when its all happened. The succession war of the demon kingdom, which saw that the two prince of the demon kingdom, ravaged the land and countries near and far, including Estel. Their method of transporting armies during that times is still regarded as mystery, but regardless,
"Your parents what!" [Young Diana]
"It's true... they're providing support for your brother, and looks like I am to be..." [Young Linda]
"Tchh! Not to mention there are rumours of those queen secretly funding the demon prince as well, to overthrow the other" [Young Qis]
"Which mean that your highness life will be in jeopardy" [Young Alice]
We already have evidence, but sadly, there's nothing father can do without much evidence. Even he himself is not above the law. He tried his best to protect us during that time, but executing or even worse if falsely executing one queen or even multiple of them can lead to noble uprising to overthrow him, and with the demon kingdom army savaging land left and right, thing should be approach carefully. I understand that but, it just felt wrong.
"Goddess, is there anything that we could do!" [Young Linda]
The same cry echoes inside us all, but alas, we are powerless. Just a young girl in a cruel world

"Here you go" [Young Linda]
""Thank you"" [Young Japanese looking boy, young brown fox girl]
Those orphans again. A Japanese looking boy and brown fox girl, looking back, could they be young Rean and Elise? Either way, they're multiple of them, and their numbers keep on growing. Even if Linda keep on feeding them, it wouldn't help much if the core problem aren't
"What this?" [Young Linda]
Linda, when the four of us all alone inside my carriage, suddenly start to burst out with mana. I do know her family tend to have higher than average mana, something evidence when even her 5 to 6 years old younger sister Liyana have, but she works extra hard to keep her mana under control, but now
"This mana, it's warm, and has a holy feeling to it" [Young Diana]
"This... could it be, this is a blessing!" [Young Alice]
"Possible, and a powerful one for that" [Young Diana]
"A powerful blessing, in this era of time. There's a rumour that the fallen god minion is resurrecting, which mean..." [Young Qis]
"Blessing of ten heroes? No, somehow, I got this feeling it's the blessings of ten heroes companion" [Young Linda]
~Carriage suddenly stop~
The carriage suddenly stop, and in front of us, is Linda's parents, demanding her to come with us, and there is also
"Oh, interesting, a blessing!" [Head priest]
The head priest, the looks on his face is nothing short bus disgusting. I tried to stop them, but
"Now!" [unknown group]
"!" [Young Diana]
We are ambush right in the middle of the day! They, they didn't even care about passerby, which mean they wanted to blame this whole incident to the demon kingdom army! This is, an assassination attempt to take my life! No, at this rate, they will all get kill because of me!
"Alaric!" [Young Qis]
"I know!" [Young Alaric]
They try to protect us, but
"Release them! Release them!" [Young Linda]
Linda suddenly burst with overflowing of mana, with her ice mana and the blessing combine violently, it strikes both foes and allies, and even passerby, and we have to stop her, but
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
"Useless girl! Have some control over your own mana!" [Linda's mother]
Linda's mother hit her hard in the head multiple times to stop her. She keeps on hitting the silent Linda, who is determined to protect us all, even when her eye and nose begin to bleed
"Stop! Don't do that!" [Young Alice]
"Quiet!" [Guard]
To stop Alice on her track, the guard try to stab Alice, but
"DON'T!" [Young Linda]
Linda with all her might, kill the guards as well as some church members. Her phenomenal space mana cause the surrounding people to be transported somewhere else. Head suddenly missing, a person limbs mysteriously attached to another head, and so on. It's a gruesome sight. The head priest, feeling scares, quickly take out his staff and shove it inside Linda's mouth, all the way to stomach... It was a ritual to control mana from within, but the haste during that time causes her to die due to internal bleeding
"You... You murder her!" [Young Qis]
"I... I..." [Young Alice]
.

(This is all my fault. Why am I... such a weak princess...) [Young Diana]
Father rescue us afterward, but... it's too late.
[Night of Linda's resurrection]
"I see. Damn, I don't know that happen. So, that's why Qis and Alice here feels awkward after a long time. It was a sudden outburst, but..." [Ash]
"I do realize it, but..." [Alice]
"I'm.. sorry" [Qis]
"You have apologize multiple times, so it's fine" [Alice]
"Anyway, do Liyana knows about it?" [Elise]
"I believe not. She's being fed by nothing but lie about how the three of us were responsible for killing Linda" [Diana]
"And I believe the blessings is transferred to you afterwards, am I correct?" [Rumia]
"True, but I quickly hide it with the pendant given by Princess Nurhaliza" [Diana]
And with Rumia's guidance, Ash begin to resurrect Linda.
The term resurrection is quite misleading, as true resurrection can only be done by Goddess Achalasia, God of Death and the mysterious God of Life. What Ash trying to do is simply appoint Linda's soul to become a minion of God of Death. Nonetheless, Rumia guidance about the properties of soul and the concept of life and death barrier is pivotal in doing so. Try to bring a soul from the world of death into the world of living, and if you're not the god or goddess, it will simply become necromancy. Fail and Linda's soul will disappear forever, however
"The gray limbo. It's hard to grasp it" [Ash]
"It's the threshold between life and death. More so than anything, I believe you should emphasize more on your God of Death blessing power here, otherwise, it will only become necromancy" [Rumia]
"O Saintess, you send people to afterlife, so is this the reverse?" [Elise]
"In a sense, yes. Though what you described is resurrection. This is to make the soul stay in between those line, and by infusing the power of God of Death, Linda's soul can stay as the minion of God of Death, otherwise, she will fall back into the realm of the death, or worse, vanish forever" [Rumia]
Elise, who in the future will become a mythical nine tail fox, seems interested in this subject. She does offer Claude to pass to the realm of death peacefully when they first met, so I believe this is a fine quality teaching materials for her
"NOW! HOLD HER SOUL!" [Rumia]
"Understood!" [Ash]
Ash did as he was told, while Rumia keep on praying to Goddess Achalasia for her help when
"God of Death, do you approve?" [Goddess Achalasia]
"This voice! Goddess!" [Ash]
"You can hear it as well?" [Rumia]
"So that's the goddess voice..." [Qis]
"You too, but..." [Rumia]
They're waiting for the God of Death response, when
"Screw it! Not another test! Fine! Rumia, can you hold Linda's soul? I'll pour the God of Death power into her soul" [Ash]
Without any response, Ash decided to take matter into his own hand, and Rumia agree instantaneously. I do believe they keep on mentioning about the God and Goddess not telling them all the answers, preferring them to search the answer by their own.
"Look! A scythe, and a cube suddenly appear!" [Elise]
"And a robe... it suddenly envelope Linda's soul" [Qis]
"Is it, a success?" [Alice]
"Ash, Rumia? How was it?" [Diana]

[At the orphanage]
[Present time]
All of us are at the orphanage, and by all of us, I mean almost all of us. From Ash to those 12 orphans to Rafiah and Claude, including Seo Ah and Kanji, Mira, Haliza, Mrs Saga, even some friends of those kids are around. Some adventures like Jacks, Syah and the paladin are here as well. We tell them regarding our past, especially to Liyana who we keep on hiding it
"So, that all happened. To think mother and father lied to me" [Liyana]
"Is it really fine, for all of us to know it as well?" [Rean]
"I feel that we aren't worthy to know all of this" [Ex female paladin adventure]
"Why not. You guys are connected to this matter, either directly or indirectly" [Linda]
"True. But..." [Karon]
"It felt wrong" [Mara]
"Then, how about I tell you regarding the ten heroes. And why am I selected by Goddess Achalasia to take care of you" [Ash]
"!" [Other]
"I think I should leave..." [Lily]
"Same here" [Ray]
"No, you guys stay here. Well, among them, only Kara, Mara, Lara, Nara, Karon, Farhah and Singa still left in dark, but I believe I'll tell you the full story about who I really am as well" [Ash]
"Please do so. You did promise me back then at Malsia" [Diana]
"Well, here go..." [Ash]
Ash tell us all, about how he was resurrected from another world. How he received the blessings from Goddess Achalasia and God of Death because of his parents good deed, and most importantly
"We will... die?" [Farhah]
"Is that, really true?" [Karon]
""God..."" [Mira, Khamishah]
"Not really" [Filvisar]
"Mr Filvisar is a living proof that some will survive" [Ash]
"That, as well as your parents" [Mahsuri]
"!" [Other]
"That again, can't you just tell us what happen" [Ash]
"..." [Mahsuri]
Huh? What did Mahsuri said just now?
