The Hated Prophet Wants to Lie Flat [Western Fantasy]

Shi Yu transmigrated and became Vitis, the darling of the Goddess of Fate and the empire's only prophet.

The good news: his status is second only to the pope, on par with a cardinal. He has a secure government job and can rely on the empire for food and shelter. There are only two people, including him, who breathe inside his temple, so his social life is practically nonexistent.

The bad news: most of the prophecies the Goddess of Fate delivers through him concern death, destruction, and misfortune. This makes the people of the empire keep their distance, so his social life is practically nonexistent.

If nothing unexpected happened, he could have happily been a parasite on the empire until he died of old age.

Unfortunately, on his very first day after transmigrating and taking office, the Holy Palace of Light sent someone to ask him to predict whether the Grand Knight Commander would have good or bad luck on his journey.

Unlike the universally disliked prophet Vitis (Shi Yu), the Grand Knight Commander of the Holy Palace of Light, Lothren, was a famous heartthrob throughout the empire. Besides his extraordinarily handsome appearance and peerless swordsmanship, he possessed every virtue a knight should have. He was a genuine golden signboard for the Temple of Light.

Shi Yu glanced at the prophecy: this golden signboard was about to be stabbed in the back by one of his own and die a gruesome death far from home.

Well, damn.

Shi Yu was beginning to realize just how dangerous this ability was.

Before enjoying the perks, should he say, "There's danger," survive, and get torn apart by the people of the empire? Or tell the truth and be silenced by the traitor?

Looking at the Grand Knight Commander, who was smiling gently, and the bishops, whose expressions were tense, Shi Yu broke out in a cold sweat. "I should be able to walk out of the Holy Palace of Light... right?"

P.S.:

This is a light comedy with lots of cold humor that the author personally finds hard to understand, along with filler about the protagonist's looks that serves no purpose. If that bothers you, please don't read.

This is a nontraditional, Japanese-style Western fantasy. It's a personal mishmash of things I've read and made up, and even a hodgepodge has different ingredients, so please don't apply any assumptions based on your reading experience.

The setting, countries, place names, and characters in this story were all cobbled together by the author using English translations and recombined words. There are no allusions or hidden meanings.

Finally, to avoid ship wars and arguments over pairings that might get the author dragged, here is a spoiler:

Lothren and Nohes are two personalities of the same person. The reason will be revealed in the story.

One last thing: the protagonist is not universally disliked in the usual sense. The phrase is purely there to ride a trend and make a joke, so readers who like this trope should enter with caution.

Theme: Fate is a starting point, not an ending
