====================

Jeveline showed signs of discomfort after witnessing ‘a truly unpleasant sight.’

It’s not just because I saw an unpleasant sight.

From that day on, whenever Edanant and Ludmilla looked at each other, they reacted with embarrassment like a man and woman in unrequited love.

“Are you here, Your Highness?”

“big… ! I made you wait for a while.”

Ludmila, who had been suffering from a brutal workload, sat down looking somewhat tired. Then I raised my hand and ordered the waitress the coffee I always drink.

An open-air cafe located inside the imperial castle.

The simple outdoor cafe with only a few tables was famous as a famous tourist attraction in the Imperial Castle. This is because the barista’s skills were so good that they satisfied all the nobles who had very picky tastes.

“You will continue to be busy for a while. An unprecedented situation occurred in which the Imperial Castle of the Valtaria Empire was attacked by the Disaster God’s Apostles. I am truly sorry.”

“Thanks to the saint who took care of the remnants who fled from the imperial capital, I was relieved of my worries.”

Sensing that the situation was unfavorable, the leaders of the cult and the priests who escaped from the imperial capital were destroyed by Jebelin, who blocked their escape route.

Upon hearing the news, Ludmilla sighed in relief and expressed her sincere gratitude to Zeveline.

The goal of the disaster god’s followers was revenge.

If I had missed them in the end, I would have been left with regrets for a long time.

The Apostle of the God of Disaster, who manipulated nobles who were hostile to the empire and orchestrated a heinous disaster that unleashed unidentified monsters on the ecliptic, was an evil person I never wanted to face again.

Ludmilla frowned as she remembered the image of the old man who exuded a dark, divine spirit.

“The merciful Holy Emperor sent a letter saying that he will not spare any support as a long-time ally. The Baltaria Empire and the Holy Empire of Gael have been in a relationship of successive generations ever since the Demon King’s army came into power.”

“I am grateful for the support of the Holy Kingdom.”

Soon the waitress brought out coffee.

It was a batch brew that Ludmilla often drank.

The princess, who was extremely exhausted from her hard work, emptied half of her coffee in one go.

“I heard that Ruinong’s performance this time was great. He protected the nobles who attended the banquet.”

“Hehehe!”

Ludmilla spoke to the fairy who was scooping up ice cream from a glass with a spoon. Then, the girl with light green hair, who was greatly encouraged by the princess’s praise, showed a proud appearance.

hmm.

Wipe off any residue from your mouth… .

I wiped my dirty mouth with a napkin.

“The Imperial family of Valtaria plans to welcome Ruinong as citizens of the empire. Following numerous races such as elves, dwarves, and beastmen, Louison will also become an official member.”

“It’s a pretty sudden decision… . Didn’t it take hundreds of years for different races, including elves and dwarves, to be recognized as a human community?”

“ That’s how great the Ruinongs’ activities were. Didn’t he save all the nobles from the devastation of the battlefield? It is thanks to the nobles who received help at the time who requested assistance from the imperial family.”

“… … .”

I thought of the rugged nobles who participated in the hunt with the emperor.

It seems like you place a lot of importance on loyalty.

If it had been other nobles, they would have tried to cover up the humiliating situation somehow in order to hide their shame as they were worried about the rebels’ offensive.

He patted Lue’s head and praised his performance. At that, Lue burst into laughter.

‘joy! Anyway, it’s enough to make chicken skin grow… !’

Seeing Edanant and Ludmilla acting like a proud couple showing off their daughter, Zebeline made a stern expression and blew air into the straw she was holding in her mouth.

Bubbly!

Bubbling… !

Bubbles rose in the fruit juice, as if expressing his inner feelings mixed with anger and jealousy.

“I’ll just wake up. There are a lot of tasks that need to be done right away.”

“If there is anything I can help you with, I will help you.”

“I just accept your thoughts. Don’t you have a lot of schedules ahead?”

“Okay.”

Ludmila finished her break while drinking coffee and stood up.

Only about 10 minutes have passed.

Even though I was suffering from excessive workload, my rest time was too short.

When Edanant showed concern in his eyes, Ludmilla shrugged her shoulders and smiled faintly.

“I also have a lot of schedules in the future, right? You must attend the Holy Communion service hosted by the priests of the empire, and lead a prayer meeting at the cathedral to comfort the citizens affected by the disaster.”

“You must be busy.”

“Yes, so Ethan please come with us.”

“… … .”

If you refuse, I won’t leave you alone.

They said they would force me to attend.

The blue eyes had an eerie look.

Edenant had to break into a cold sweat at the saint’s blatant obsession.

‘Beatrice and Zebeline… . After all, all saints are tired.’

I had no choice but to obediently promise to accompany Jebeline as she showed me a hint by sticking her head out to the point where our lips touched.

* * *

Jebelin, who takes steps like a heroine.

I looked at her back and let out a heavy sigh.

“Why are you suddenly angry?”

“Well!”

He asked in a voice filled with confusion.

Then a sharp, thorny answer flew out.

This is nothing short of extreme.

The voice is too fierce to be said to be that of a saint who is a symbol of kindness.

It was the same for Beatrice who was difficult to console. In the future, when selecting a saint, I thought it would be good if the Holy Kingdom evaluated personality more than anything else.

“Then, at least some candy… .”

“Do you think I’m some kind of stupid Ruinong!”

hmm.

It’s embarrassing.

I heard that the thick candy that I used as an all-purpose cheat didn’t work.

If you hand over thick candy to Ruinongs, they will run around like a puppy and cling to it.

“Myself! Give it to yourself!”

“Okay.”

The thick candy that was given to the saint was given to the fairy who was begging and running around.

Then, the foolish Ruinong whom the saint had mentioned put the thick candy in his mouth and fell into ecstasy.

‘Maybe it’s because he seems to be in a close relationship with Ludmilla… . It’s totally worth it. Although things have improved a lot now, religious people are strict about relationships between men and women. You might think that a man and a woman who are not engaged would enjoy a messy secret relationship.’

Although it is easy to overlook her because of her neat appearance, Jebeline is a saint who represents the Holy Empire. It would be natural to show a somewhat strict attitude.

hmm.

You are so stubborn that you are stubborn.

Anyway, the people of the Holy Empire are all old-timers.

My older brother and sister, Ludmilla and I, were engaged just a month ago. Naturally, the Holy Lady of the Holy Empire would be uncomfortable with the bean-powder relationship between the Valtaria Imperial Family and the Hohenberg family.

“If you don’t like candy… There is also chocolate.”

“Why are your pockets full of sweets? Someone who doesn’t like sweets like the old man.”

“Of course it’s because of Ruinongs.”

“… Phew. Please give me some chocolate.”

I opened the package and handed over the chocolate.

Then Zeveline stuck her head out and put chocolate in her mouth.

I don’t like candy, but I like chocolate.

I burst into laughter at the sight of the saintess eating chocolate like a rabbit chowing down on a carrot.

“What is that smile? I’m still in an uncomfortable situation.”

“Sorry. As I look at the saintly woman… It reminded me of someone I used to know. Whenever I felt bored, I always took out chocolate from my pocket. It was an apprentice priest I met by chance.”

“… Hmm. She must have been a beauty like me.”

“She was a very beautiful woman.”

Zeveline’s tomboyish, innocent expression reminded me of the bold apprentice priest I met on the battlefield.

It was the same then as it is now.

They were arguing for some reason.

Strangely enough, the scenes at that time were as blurry as fog.

There was still a mystery regarding the girl who was an apprentice priest. But I did remember that she was a bold tomboy like Zebeline.

“P, you liar.”

“Yes?”

A girl with flowing silver hair turned her head with a somber reaction.

liar?

What do you mean… .

After being a shameless person who enjoys promiscuous romantic relationships, has he become a black liar?

I felt puzzled by Zeveline’s meaningful answer.

“It’s not a lie. Because it was very dazzling to my eyes.”

“K, keuhm!”

“He was lively and confident, and had a caring personality that cared for others more than anyone else.”

“… … .”

A girl like that should have been chosen as a saint.

It is deplorable.

How did pseudo-saints become rampant in the Holy Kingdom?

Could it be said to be the result of a misjudgment by the Holy Empire, which unconditionally pursued meritocracy in order to fight against the Demon King’s army? I thought of the girl who was an apprentice priest who took care of the injured with the utmost sincerity like an angel in white.

“Saint? Holy woman!”

Jeveline bowed her head and took a brisk step forward.

What on earth is going on?

I scratched the back of my head at Jebeline’s reaction, gradually increasing her strides as if running away.

The saint, who was moving forward unconditionally without looking ahead, eventually hit her face against the sign. And then I fell backwards and hit my butt.

“I’m fine. Just this much fuss.”

“… … .”

Jeveline, who felt embarrassed, waved her hand and said.

I handed him the handkerchief without saying a word.

Because fresh blood was flowing from Zeveline’s nose.
