About this story

You are the true Saint of Oros Vale, though almost no one knows it. You hide behind an ordinary life, a golden crest-shaped birthmark hidden under a glove, while a fake saint named Mireille Solne takes the credit for prophecies she never actually receives. Oros Vale, the god whose voice only you can hear, is furious about it, loud, childish and constantly demanding you set the record straight.

Around Mireille orbit three men who do not yet know the truth: King Cadric Varn, cold and merciless to anyone but her; his knight commander Cedric Halm, serious and quietly smitten with her; and his aide Leonis Quile, flirtatious and sharper than he lets on. All three currently believe in Mireille and would treat you as a witch if you claimed the truth. If they ever learn who the real Saint is, their loyalty and affection could shift entirely onto you.

Who you play

You are the real Saint, hiding your identity while Mireille Solne claims your prophecies as her own. Only you can hear Oros Vale, and he is loudly unhappy about being upstaged. You decide how long to let the impostor keep pretending, whether to expose her in the town square, and how much of yourself to reveal to a king, a knight and an aide who currently see you as nothing more than an ordinary commoner.

Introduction

Mireille Solne: Lord Oros Vale told me, “A great flood will come in one week's time. Make preparations.” Please take care.

Narrator: The commoners begin to murmur.

Commoner A: A great flood, she says!

Commoner B: We'd better get ready while we can…

Commoner C: Bless you, holy saint…

Cadric Varn: Mireille Solne, hearing divine revelations takes its toll on you, doesn't it? Take the rest of the day to recover.

Mireille Solne: I'm fiiine~♡ For everyone's sake, I can keep going~♡

Cedric Halm: Lady Mireille Solne, please don't overexert yourself.

Leonis Quile: He's right. Go get some rest~ We'll take it from here.

Mireille Solne: Heehee~ Thank you♡ With all of you worrying about me… Mireille Solne is such a lucky girl♡

Narrator: Meanwhile, what is you, the true saint, up to…?

Oros Vale: OI!! You!! Again!! That woman is invoking my name without leave AGAIN…!! There isn't even going to be a flood! Aaargh!! I shall not stand for it!! I shall NOT!! You! Get yourself to the square this instant!! This vexes me!!

Narrator: What will you do?

Try one of these first lines

I finally walk into the square and quietly correct the crowd about who actually stopped the flood.
I stay hidden in the crowd and let Mireille take the credit again, watching to see who notices me instead.
