The time when dawn was just beginning to break.

Lucia got out of bed, rubbing her bleary eyes.

The reason I woke up even though it was still time to sleep was because I felt the presence of someone approaching me.

‘…’

Lucia sat down on the bed and concentrated on her energy.

The steps gradually approaching this place became lighter, but there was also a sense of leisure.

‘Is it poetry…’

It was easy to guess the identity of the person coming this way. I feel sorry for Siron, but among those living in this mansion, there was no one who could not distinguish Siron’s energy.

The energy of the two demon maids is so strong that it cannot be hidden. So, with the method of elimination, only poetics remains.

‘What happened?’

The outbuildings are spacious. It is comparable in size to an average mansion, but only four people live there.

For this reason, except during meal times, Lucia and Siron rarely encounter each other in the annex. Unless there was a purpose, Siron did not even go near Lucia’s room.

“…This is not the time.”

Lucia quickly got out of bed and went to the dressing table.

When she was at Dawn Castle, she could just ring the call bell and a skilled maid would skillfully groom her, but now that the number of workers has decreased, she has to do it herself.

Suk- Suk-

Lucia sat in front of the mirror and began combing her tangled hair.

‘Ugh, why isn’t this happening?’

Since she had always left grooming to others, including in her previous life, tidying up her messy hair was not an easy task.

“That’s it…!”

smart-

Just then, a knock was heard on the door.

-Woke up?

“Now, wait! I woke up so wait!”

Lucia quickly ran to the door.

“Hello!”

As I slowly opened the door, Siron greeted me with a smile. As expected, Lucia had to look up at Siron as the days passed, perhaps because the child was growing quickly.

Lucia greeted Siron, who has been looking handsome lately.

“…You seem to be in a good mood today?”

“Oh, does it look like that?”

“Yes, your voice is strangely high even though it is morning.”

“…Is it obvious like that?”

Siron cleared his throat and cleared his voice.

“First of all, I came because I wanted to ask you a favor.”

“Please?”

Lucia’s eyes widened when she heard the request.

I was sorry for always receiving it, but it turned out well.

Siron smiled happily at her lively reaction.

“It’s not that big of a deal, but would you like to run around the gym together for the first time in a while?”

“Didn’t you quit training? You haven’t been to the training ground often these days.”

“I quit. Still, there is never a day when I miss swinging a sword.”

Siron thought about Lucia’s words a little.

Lately, I’ve been shortening my training time to build up a damn stack, but in Lucia’s eyes, it seems like I’ve really quit.

“Oh, no! But that doesn’t mean I’ll refuse. I just… wondered what was going on.”

Lucia waved her hand forward as Siron’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“I wanted to check something. First, change your clothes and go to the training ground.”

Shiron chuckled and closed the door.

After checking that Lucia had changed into comfortable clothes, Siron moved to the training area.

Siron, who did a simple warm-up before running, took deep breaths.

“You just have to run, right?”

“Yes. I wanted to check how much my stamina has increased.”

[Blessing of Vitality]

‘Are you sure I said it would prevent the heart from getting tired?’

There was not much way to check the protection of anger or the protection of concentration in the current situation. I don’t usually get angry, and my will to do something is almost unbreakable.

But endurance is easy to check.

Siron looked at Lucia, who was stretching her body by moving her arms and legs around.

Siriel said that they have yet to win a single sparring match, which is quite appropriate as a comparison group.

‘Let’s do a buff performance test.’

“There is no time limit. Just run until you get tired. Take care of your own speed.”

“…Okay.”

As soon as Siron hit the ground, Lucia began to follow.

*

I ran like that for a long 4 hours.

The speed did not slow down and Lucia, who was running with him, showed no signs of stopping, so Siron stopped running midway.

‘Performance is good.’

The performance of the protection given by Latera was clearly outstanding. Rather, it exceeds expectations.

I started running at full speed from the beginning, but as expected, my speed did not slow down. Rather, thanks to my body becoming warmer,

I felt like running became easier.

“…”

What was even more surprising was that I wasn’t out of breath. Even though I was catching my breath after finishing my run, my breathing was quiet, as if I was going about my daily life, let alone taking a deep breath.

“…What happened? You weren’t that physically fit.”

“Hehehe. Are you curious?”

Siron raised one corner of his mouth towards Lucia, feeling a proud sense of accomplishment.

Lucia looked shocked when she saw that face, but it had been a while since she had seen Siron smile like that, so she decided not to say anything.

“Running for a long time is not that surprising, but it is amazing that you can run like that and not lose your breathing.”

Siron looked at Lucia, unable to control the smile that burst out without his knowledge.

“It’s a coincidence.”

“Genesis?”

“I had a dream, where an angel appeared and gave me protection.”

“…Really?”

“Yes, I’ve lived a good life so far, so I was so lucky that he appeared in my dream.”

Siron finished speaking and looked at Lucia’s expression.

“…Good. Thank goodness.”

Lucia spoke quietly and smiled awkwardly. Siron tilted his head at that lukewarm response.

‘The response is worse than I expected.’

Although the word “angel” was uttered subtly, Lucia’s reaction was nothing short of simple. As a test of God’s protection, they tried to find out about the existence of an angel who was Kylie’s colleague 500 years ago, but Lucia did not actively inquire about the existence of an angel.

Shiron, who decided to take a more active role, smiled and approached Lucia.

“For some reason, I feel like I don’t believe it, but is it real?”

Lucia, who was listening to the story, took a step back when Siron suddenly approached her.

“Ah, no, I believe it because it shows the results like this…”

“Then why? Don’t you want to meet an angel and receive his blessings?”

“, stay away for now. It’s too close!”

Lucia turned her head and pushed away Siron, who had come too close.

For some reason, I was embarrassed to see Siron up close. In the past, we talked to each other without hesitation even though we were sweating a lot.

Is it because he was still bothered by Siriel’s words that Siron had become a little strange these days, or was it because he cried like a child in front of Siron? It was difficult for Lucia to treat Siron the way she used to.

“I don’t need it. I don’t even want to meet you.”

“Why?”

“I just don’t like it when someone does something to me. What if I pretend to give you blessings and then curse you?”

Lucia was suspicious of the angel Siron met.

She recalled the succession ceremony.

In front of Prien’s children, Yuma said that an angel, an apostle of God, gave the Holy Sword to Kylie 500 years ago.

Lucia at that time snorted.

‘If that happens, it means Yura is an angel. I received a holy sword from Yura, but something doesn’t add up.’

The Yura that Lucia remembers was clearly an ordinary human being. I couldn’t use holy power, and I could only use space magic.

After calming down a little, Lucia wanted to check a few things with Siron.

“So, what did the angel I met in my dream look like?”

“It was a sister with a shiny ring on her head. The hair was black and the eyes were purple.”

‘My older sister was my older sister. Even though she looked like a kid, she was five hundred years old.’

Siron told me what Latera looked like in that strange place.

Lucia, listening to the concise description, lowered her head as if thinking. The Yura she remembered also had black hair and purple eyes.

Lucia narrowed her eyes. I stared at Siron.

“I should live a good life…”

“Young Master!”

Then,

An old man in a neat suit ran into the training hall. This is Philip, the butler of the mansion.

He came up out of breath and was in such a hurry that his clothes were all disheveled.

“Master! You need to change your clothes quickly now!”

Philip was horrified to see the two covered in dust and sweat.

“What is it?”

“His Majesty the 3rd Prince has now visited the mansion to meet you. Even the knights came with us!”

“Huh…”

Siron let out a small exclamation upon hearing that the 3rd prince had arrived.

‘what. It arrived sooner than expected? ‘I didn’t know it would come this soon.’

“Anyway, you should change into formal clothes sooner than that. Lady Siriel is there first.”

Philip, with a pale complexion even though he came running in a hurry, tried to listen to Siron and Lucia. Even though he was an old man with a lot of white hair, his strength was good.

“Wait a minute, old man, let go of this.”

But Siron shook off his hand.

Philip opened his eyes wide and looked down at Siron.

“You can meet like this.”

“Yes? What does that mean?”

“I have no intention of liking that guy, so you can go on like this.”

“Well, what is that?”

At the same time as Philip made a dumbfounded face, Lucia looked down at Siron while being held by Philip.

“Why does the royal family come to see Siron?”

Let’s say Lucia doesn’t understand. Siron shrugged his shoulders and laughed.

“Well? I guess I looked easy.”
