Ferrado, who brought up a shocking topic.

Everyone’s eyes were on him.

As he intended.

“What, what are you talking about…?”

‘Thank goodness we can get away from this embarrassing topic.’

Why did you suddenly bring this up?

The princess I love so much and Louis, who has been tempting me lately, has his nose buried in the nape of my neck.

What’s more, didn’t you even witness the sight of pretty women fighting each other right before your eyes?

It was a difficult task for him, who was faithful despite his appearance.

That’s why Ferrado changed the subject, even if it was a little forced.

By putting into words the shocking report I heard yesterday.

[Your Majesty. As you said, the TS Brigade is…]

“First of all, the one called the saint of the TS Brigade. That person is definitely a saint.”

“Uh, how are you sure? What did they do!!”

“After investigating… .”

He then explained the background to the report.

Ferrado attempted to meet with the ‘Saint’ of the TS Brigade in order to track down the witch who was confirmed to be in the Empire.

But the fanatic group did not cooperate at all.

Even if you ask to see the saint, she only gives you a fake one covered in illusionary magic.

Even though he insisted that he had no intention of harming her, the way he acted was quite suspicious.

So Ferrado ordered his men to investigate.

About the antics that the TS Brigade has committed so far.

“I thought it was just the actions of a madman, but when I looked into it more closely, I found out there was a reason behind it all.”

I looked into it because I heard it was famous for kidnapping orphans.

All the orphanages were rotten.

It was to the point where I felt like it was salvation rather than kidnapping.

I found out that he assassinated a devout priest of the Catholic Church.

In fact, he was a devil-worshiping traitor.

In addition, a dragon suddenly appeared on the mountain where the cadets were taking their exams.

The TS Brigade was the one that was waiting there and immediately took care of them.

They were obviously serving the world, although they didn’t show it off.

“I decided that it was impossible unless it was led by a saint who predicted the future and whose lineage ended 100 years ago.”

Therefore the subjects, and Ferrado, declared:

The ‘Saint’ of the TS Brigade is real.

Predicting the future, saving humanity from calamity, and thus being loved by everyone.

She is said to be a saint who was sent down by God again after 100 years.

“Huh, huh? She could be a witch, right? They say witches can see the future too.”

“Would a witch do such a good thing?”

“… … .”

‘No? Why is this kid struggling when he was doing so well?’

It was a shocking story for the mastermind behind it, Estee Lauder.

A prophecy? No, I just saw it in the original.

Saint? I can’t use any divine powers.

If I had been a saint in the first place, rumors would have spread throughout the neighborhood.

Oh my god, the third princess of Abruen is a saint!!

Ferrado was left blankly thinking about this.

He cleared his throat late.

“… Of course, it is true that there are some doubts about her being a saint. In the first place, if a saint were born, revelations would be given to the entire temple. That has never happened. ”

“Uh, yeah. Right! So she’s not a saint, she’s just an ordinary… .”

“But if she’s not a saint, then it doesn’t make sense. Perhaps she’s hiding her identity through some means.”

“… … .”

‘I said no!!?’

Esti was speechless with disbelief.

One, the others focused with interested expressions.

The appearance of a saint after 100 years was quite remarkable news.

“They were not a bunch of fanatics, but true believers?”

“Oh my goodness, a saint… Honestly, I thought it was a story made up by the main church. How amazing.”

Louis and Shepor sticking out their tongues.

and…

‘I was wondering why you were chasing me…’

Irene, her expression frozen.

I’ve been living in luxury these days so I’ve forgotten about it, but before she entered school, she was hiding in the mountains and sleeping out.

Why? Because the TS Brigade would chase him to death whenever they saw him.

At the time, I just thought they were perverts…

After hearing what Ferrado said, huh? No way?

‘Were you looking for a witch?!’

A chill ran down my spine.

Her goal is to hide her identity and live normally as a human being.

But, it is surprising that a person called the saint knows of her own existence.

As someone who would be finished if she got caught, she couldn’t help but be scared.

But at the same time, I had this question:

‘… Wait, then why did you come looking for her so quietly? Wouldn’t it be quicker to start a witch hunt?’

What if the saint knew the witch’s appearance?

There is no need to go through the trouble of scattering people around and searching for them.

All you have to do is contact the temple and say, ‘I am a saint and I know what a witch looks like.’

Then the main church will go wild and shout, ‘This is a witch hunt!! Kill all the women with brown hair and golden eyes!!’

But the TS Brigade never said a word about looking for witches.

As if they didn’t want it to be known that they were looking for a witch.

My head is getting complicated.

‘Why? There’s no reason for someone who is a saint to secretly seek out me, a witch. She’s not going to protect me either…’

-Stop.

“… … Huh?”

———Then suddenly a thought occurred to me.

Her face suddenly turned to the side.

Towards Esti, who was gaping blankly.

‘Wait a minute. Now that I think about it, Princess, wasn’t it a bit strange when we first met?’

On the day of the entrance ceremony, when Shepor was treating me like a witch as usual.

Esti came running like a comet to protect him.

Seeing myself for the first time.

… Until now, I thought it was just a favor bestowed on me, a commoner, in order to connect with Louis.

Now that I think about it, isn’t it strange?

She was on the outskirts of the academy, in a remote place.

How did you know it was there and come looking for it?

Moreover, he continued to show me a lot of kindness that I couldn’t understand.

In Mana, you can feel a warm energy that feels like divine power.

Even my hateful nature has weakened when I’m around her, and these days, I even receive warm greetings from people.

Above all,

‘There’s another me that’s attached to him. It’s definitely not ordinary.’

That night, the dragon was suddenly resurrected.

Another self that called itself and then entered Esti’s body.

… he seemed to have a great love for the princess.

Why did she feel that way?

Underneath the swirling questions, Esti’s golden eyes were filled with hope.

‘Princess, you… were you a saint?’

* * *

My thought process stopped for a moment at the shocking remark about the saint.

I came to my senses thanks to one word from Irene.

“Then how are you going to find that saint? From what I heard, it seems like she’s hiding her identity.”

‘Irene?! You should stay still, why are you like that!!’

I opened my eyes wide in surprise.

Why is this witch acting like this in front of Ferrado?

If you get caught, you’ll be in big trouble. Take care of yourself.

But fortunately, Ferrado passed without much suspicion.

“I have already sent a messenger to the Lord Jushin Church and the Abruen Imperial Court. Please bring him here with the utmost respect.”

“Huh… But how can we confirm that she’s a saint? We wouldn’t know if we just tell her.”

“There are many ways to check.”

Then Ferrado smiled and explained.

The saint can predict the future, so you can confirm it by asking just a few questions.

What if you keep hiding your identity?

Still, she can’t hide the fact that she is a saint.

A saint is someone who is loved by everyone. Someone who has a warm energy that blesses all life.

So you can tell just by looking at it.

“… It seems a bit vague. Is there a more certain way?”

“Hehe. I didn’t know Lady Irene would be this interested. If you want to be sure, just ask her for a kiss.”

“… … Is this a kiss?!”

“Yes. It is a miracle that only a saint given by the Lord can perform, who can instantly heal even the most seriously injured.”

He further said that with just one kiss, you would know that she was a saint.

I had been feeling uneasy all along, but only then was I able to relax.

‘Hey, what the heck. Ferrado really tripped up this guy.’

Because she spoke so credibly in a low and deep voice, I also thought, ‘Oh, am I actually a saint?’

What? You can heal someone with one kiss?

How many times have I kissed my sisters?

I don’t have that kind of ability.

… Well, there are things like if you hug me tightly, my period pain will be bearable, or if I sleep while hugging you, all my fatigue will go away.

It’s a mental issue, you know. Yeah.

‘I told you, I’m not a saint. Oh. The dark side being a saint is like unsweetened milk tea.’

“Wow. That’s amazing~.”

So I responded calmly and with relief.

I thought to myself, ‘This guy is also a fool~’

-Mumble mumble.

“A kiss. Oh my gosh… .”

‘Irene, why are you like that again? Are you that anxious?’

Meanwhile, Irene mutters with a strange expression on her face.

… Well, that’s true. She’s a witch, you know.

It was clear that he was anxious when his story suddenly came up.

I quickly approached.

-Hug.

“Huh? Irene, what’s wrong~?”

‘Don’t worry! No matter what happens, I’ll make sure you and Louis live happily ever after!!’

Then, he hugged me tightly and naturally.

You can rest assured that you are under the protection of this absolute black curtain.

Irene’s expression became even more subtle.

“I’m a little embarrassed to talk about kissing.”

“… … !!!?”

‘What, what, you’re already planning something like that with Louis?’

On the other hand, a bright smile bloomed on my face.

No, I thought you were scared because something about a witch came up.

Was that because you were imagining kissing Louis?

The way of looking at things is different from that of the BL fantasies and the blind Louis of Wall Window.

As expected, my favorite. So pretty.

“Huh? Irene, you’re interested in that kind of thing?”

“… There is a little bit.”

‘Well, that’s what I said yesterday. My mind was in full bloom.’

Besides, I had just made up my mind yesterday.

After this final exam ranking match. The moment when fireworks beautifully decorate the sky.

I’m going to make the couples I push kiss.

It’s not time to tell Sheporhan this yet, but…

He already knows that I’m pushing him.

I also told her about my plans to kiss.

So, let’s have a serious strategy meeting today.

​

He smiled brightly with this meaning in mind.

“Okay! Then come to my room later!!”

“… …!!!!? Huh, Princess!?”

“Estie… … ?!!”

“Phew!! I, I didn’t hear anything!!”

“Ahem, ahem. My ears are also feeling stuffy today.”

… For some reason, everyone was excited.

Huh. What’s wrong with you guys?
