ooh! thank you! It seems like the intensity of the world just upped a bit. Having a pillar of fire, is it for intimidation purposes? Does it serve any specific purpose? It certainly seems very ominous.
I wonder how those pillars work, is that why he needs the Saintess because maintaining those big ass pillars seem like it'd take a lot of energy, but who knows?

So original nina probably tried to 'save' the saint by getting her out of there and the church wanted the saintess under their control so they must have encouraged her by promising a safe haven. The king was probably aware of this and got rid of the spy/thorn in his side. Poor nina. She just didn't know
