“But where is Lucy now? Fabi. Don’t you feel something?”

“Sorry, Joy. It’s hard to tell because Lucy’s energy is all over this city.”

If it were a normal situation, Pavie would have answered before I even asked, but today she made a subtle expression and held back her answer.

It was impossible to pinpoint a specific location because the entire territory of Aln was covered with Lucy’s energy.

“Is it because there are so many things decorated with Lucy?”

“No. It’s not just because of that. It wasn’t like this when I visited the art school before.”

As she pondered the differences between the past and the present, Faby arrived at one answer.

At that time, Lucy had not yet become aware of herself.

Lucy now knows very well what kind of being she is. She is the daughter of the Lord and is close to being a divinity.

If that difference is what created this phenomenon, then the beliefs spread across the continent are influencing Lucy.

That is, he.

“Paybee?”

“Ah. Okay. Sorry I couldn’t help.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Despite arriving at some kind of answer, Faby swallowed her thoughts, knowing that Lucy wouldn’t want anyone to bring it up.

Fortunately, instead of questioning her, Faby’s friends began to wonder where Lucy might be.

“How about going to the mansion first?”

Arthur, who had been crossing his arms, opened his mouth as if something had occurred to him.

“A mansion?”

“Lucy Allen went to punish the one who deceived her. I think Ruel-nim got what he deserved, so next would be Armadi-nim.”

“A human being who punishes the Lord. That’s a very violent statement.”

“If you know the truth, it’s just a family feud.”

“Is this a fight? Lucy is getting angry and Armadi is crying?”

“…Shouldn’t we protect Armadi’s authority?”

The group, having reached their conclusion, immediately headed to Aln’s mansion. The guards guarding the main gate of the family greeted Lucy’s friends politely.

“Have you come to see Miss?”

“Is Lucy in there?”

“Yes. There is. However, it’s a bit noisy.”

“Don’t worry about it, I knew that.”

“Then it’s okay. Let’s go in.”

Shortly after the group entered the mansion, they discovered a glass box in a corner of the garden.

Inside was a mace that was all too familiar to the eyes of the party, but there was a swarm of ants swarming on top of the mace, so no one in the party could bring themselves to touch it.

“Is this Ruel’s punishment?”

“If we were to compare it to you, it would be like ants walking all over your body? …I got goosebumps just from saying it.”

“I don’t like this either.”

“Um. Shouldn’t I take it out?”

“Saint. The one who deceived Lucy first was Ruel. He must have been prepared for this to happen. If we intervene, it would be ignoring Ruel’s determination.”

Arthur tried to persuade Ruel, but he shouted inside the mace, asking what nonsense he was talking about, but his voice did not reach their ears.

After all, he was just a weapon that had made a contract with Lucy.

While Ruel screamed like that, the group left feeling uneasy.

“I. Prince. How about we forget about Frete-nim’s request right now?”

The moment she stood in front of the mansion’s main gate, Joy made a proposal in a trembling voice.

“If Lucy, who respects Ruel, is that angry, then she really doesn’t like this. It might have repercussions for us.”

“No matter what, I won’t end up like that.”

“Do you really think so?”

“…Let’s just see the mood. Frey. I’ll warn you in advance. Don’t say anything.”

“Yeah! I will absolutely, absolutely not say anything!”

Even Frey, who likes to joke around these days, nodded immediately as if he recognized the seriousness of the situation.

Those who exchanged glances with each other took a deep breath and stood in front of the mansion’s door. And the moment Joy, who was standing at the front, knocked on the door, the huge mansion’s unmanned door opened.

“Oh. Welcome! Master!”

I was speechless when I saw the woman bowing her head.

“Thank you for visiting Alan’s mansion. Go. Go. Gam.”

“Mom. Aren’t you doing it right? Put it in the same place as Grandpa?”

“No! Yes. I’ll try my best! Lucy! That’s all!”

The sight of the god who had gathered the greatest faith on the continent for a long time, holding his daughter’s arm and weeping, was disconcerting even for the group who had been through all kinds of things.

“Ah. You’re here?”

Lucy, the person who actually created this, seemed to have no particular thoughts about the situation itself, but just smiled playfully.

“Lucy. Why are you wearing a maid outfit?”

After about a second, Joy came to her senses and tried to keep her expression straight as she asked, and Lucy smiled faintly.

“How is it? Isn’t our Mama cute?”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what to say in this situation.”

“Oh my goodness. I. I didn’t see anything! I’ll erase my memories of today right now!”

“…This is driving me crazy.”

“Wow. Armadi. So cute.”

“Right. Isn’t it cute? As expected, Frey knows what he’s doing.”

“Hehehe. Of course!”

As Lucy and Frey chatted excitedly about this and that, Armadi’s face lowered further and lower.

Most people who saw this situation where the great god was being humiliated felt uneasy, but they were unable to intervene.

Lucy had an equally ominous air about her when she first entered the mansion.

“Okay, then Mom. I’ll go play with my friends.”

“Okay. Have a nice trip.”

“A sloppy maid. That’s not it. Do I have to train her again? Is that what you want?”

“Have a nice trip, Master! Armadi will be waiting for you at the mansion!”

Lucy nodded with satisfaction and led her friends, who were still in a daze, out of the mansion.

The group, having emerged from the unrealistic interior of the mansion, let out a deep breath and rushed towards Lucy.

“Lucy! Can you explain the situation!?”

“My mother tricked me and sold me to a pervert crow.”

Joey, who had been demanding an explanation, shut her mouth at Lucy’s quietly spoken words.

I know, because I’ve been friends with Lucy for a long time.

Lucy’s really pissed right now.

“I liked Mama so much that I forgot everything that had happened to me and just laughed, but then Mama hit me in the back of the head. Do you understand?”

“The Lord has evil intentions too.”

“Paybee.”

“Yes. Yep!”

“Think about it again and say it. What do you say?”

“Nothing!”

Lucy, who had even overwhelmed the saint, smiled brightly and stood at the front, leading her friends.

“Lucy. What are we going to do?”

“Let’s go to the capital because I don’t want to see Yeongji.”

While Frey was talking to Lucy, Joey and Arthur, standing behind them, exchanged desperate glances.

‘Wow. Prince. What should I do!?’

‘What should we do! What should we do! Will they even listen to what we have to say now? We should wait until we feel better!’

‘Let’s go eat something sweet! When you have a fever, eating something delicious is the best!’

‘Do you think everyone is as simple as you? You idiot!’

‘Then what should I do! Does Your Majesty have any good ideas?’

‘…Like a dungeon.’

‘Ha! A dungeon in this situation!? That’s all she can think of, so Lucy has no interest in the prince at all!’

‘Why are you saying that now…!’

“You two over there. What are you doing? Hurry up and follow me.”

“No!”

“Okay!”

It was a strange thing.

Clearly, Lucy was speaking much more kindly than when she had the Messaggi skill, but it was scarier now.

So Lucy’s friends followed her quietly without making a sound.

I hope Lucy’s anger subsides quickly.

Caria prided herself on being able to read people’s emotions, but at this moment, she wished her ability would disappear.

If that were the case, he would have been able to ignore the intense anger displayed by his employer, who had reached a position that could not be taken lightly even before he was his benefactor.

Her employer, who was smiling on the outside but secretly determined to destroy all those who crossed his mind, was literally a walking bomb.

In a metaphorical sense. In a physical sense.

Benedict. That crazy bastard. What the hell have you done!?

No matter how many times I’ve been on the brink of death, my employer has never been this excited!

This person may look dirty, but he is actually gentle and simple inside!

Even after just an hour or so, I’m so focused on the task at hand that I forget what happened in the past! But why am I still so excited after several hours?

Sigh. If you’re going to contact me urgently and ask for help, at least tell me why you have a fever!

What are you going to do if I just throw it away? You idiot!

“Karia.”

“Ugh!? Huh? Why? Employer?”

“The food here is delicious. I can’t believe it’s a stomach restaurant.”

“It has to be infinitely real so that people won’t get suspicious. If you don’t have a shortage of money, you have to make it look real.”

Caria looked at the faces of Lucy’s friends as she answered.

Everyone except Frey was watching Lucy. They were all familiar with politics, so it wasn’t obvious, but it was clear that they were scared.

“So why did you and your friends come here? Can you get us some tickets?”

“No. There’s no need for that. Just spread what’s written here throughout the continent.”

Caria, who took the paper, looked at what was written on it and guessed the general story.

Looking at the goddess’ dark history written all over it, that crow must have done something stupid.

If you see that your employer is not carrying a mace, then it means that Lord Ruel is cooperating, and the only reason the paladin would cooperate would be because of the Lord’s orders.

That is, Armadi deceived his employer for his personal desires.

And the employer was furious at the fact that he had been betrayed by someone he trusted.

Hmm. In this situation, I guess there’s no need for me to step forward.

Caria approached Joy with a light smile and whispered something in her ear.

Then Joy raised her head in surprise, but instead of answering, Caria ran out of the room.

Now, I guess I should go and tell my idiot parents a lesson.
