@Sefferis: You're getting a lot of replies. Here is mine, if you still care. ^^: It's allso possible, that the church rose into its current place after the demonlord conntinued to attack the kingdom time after time for 800 years.... So then now the question is, why didn't they intervene before, if they knew of her role all those years before? Why didn't they help her in this life before? (Maybe her "best friend" is a planted spy?) Why not all the lives before?
"I can only appear before you in a mirror."
Yeah, sure. That goddess is just afraid she'll receive the bitch slap she earned herself.
Really...If that's the setup, I'd understand, if she just helps the 2nd demon lord/1st hero and tries to make him settle for extinguishing the bloodline instead of the world. How many people die every 100 years in one of those demon lord wars? Ending that bloodline is much less bloody. Poor princess or not.
