33.

“All humans are….”

“Wow, even his voice is insane!”

The voice flowing from Greim’s mouth was so pleasant to hear that I unconsciously covered my mouth with both hands and shouted.

“…given by God.”

Greim, startled by my outburst, looked at me and raised one eyebrow before continuing his interrupted words.

“Everyone has both an angel’s heart and a devil’s heart.”

“Ah, yes. Haha, that’s right, yes.”

I was momentarily captivated by his doll-like appearance and voice so pleasant I wondered if such a voice could exist in this world, but seeing Greim who believed in God like a fanatic, my interest that had flared up like flames instantly died down.

No matter how handsome, fanatics are a bit much.

The fanatic seemed satisfied with my answer and asked us with a barely visible smile.

“So, what brings you to see me?”

Since Greim’s gaze was directed at me, I unconsciously looked at Caroline, and Caroline said “Ah” and began explaining why we had come here.

Since it seemed like a light attribute user speaking would have higher credibility than me, an ordinary person, I had entrusted Caroline with persuading Greim before coming.

“Lady Brensia wishes to share the prize she received at the Hunting Festival with the Imperial Shrine.”

Caroline began persuading Greim very skillfully, like a master of persuasion.

“Most citizens of the Empire know that the relationship between the Imperial Court and the Imperial Shrine is not very good, don’t they? So if the prize directly bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor to the citizens is shared with the Imperial Shrine….”

Greim was listening to Caroline’s gentle and modest persuasion with quite a serious expression.

I blankly admired Greim’s face.

If the next High Priest looked like that, surely even those who didn’t believe in God would be enchanted by him and come to believe.

Face is faith itself.

Greim’s beauty was art itself, to the point where I had such thoughts.

Somehow, with Greim’s appearance being much more like a main male lead than the actual main male lead, I wondered if the original story had chosen the wrong male lead to pair with the female protagonist.

Well, but still, I think Theor is the most handsome.

Lloyd and Greim were more on the beautiful side rather than handsome, and especially Greim had a mysterious beauty as if he weren’t human.

Anyway, while he had looks that could enchant people, I thought preferences would be divided depending on individual taste.

In that sense, Caroline liked pretty boy-type faces like Lloyd, so she would probably like Greim’s appearance too.

With that thought, I reflexively turned my head to look at Caroline, and at that moment, Caroline asked “What?!” toward Greim, looking very flustered.

What kind of conversation were they having for her to be so surprised?

Only then did the voice from Greim’s mouth enter my head and form sentences.

“If you attend the prayer meeting starting tomorrow, I will also accept that invitation.”

“Prayer meeting?”

I unconsciously turned my gaze and asked Greim back, and Greim looked at me with mysterious gray eyes and said.

“Yes. It’s a prayer meeting that the Imperial Shrine will hold for a week starting tomorrow. If both of you attend, I will also accept your proposal.”

At that, Caroline and I instinctively looked at each other.

Wait, isn’t a prayer meeting something where you have to be stuck in the Imperial Shrine for a week doing nothing but praying?

How could I possibly….

It was confusing because this content didn’t exist in the original at all.

Of course, the content of me receiving first place at the Hunting Festival and coming to the Imperial Shrine to invite Greim wasn’t in the original either, so it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand this confusing situation.

“If you need to discuss it, you have a day’s time, so I’ll give you plenty of time to think.”

“Wait, a day’s time is plenty?”

I was so dumbfounded by Greim’s words that I shot back at him, and Greim looked at me.

“I think I’ve given you more generous time than you two who came wanting an answer today.”

“Uh, how did you know we were trying to get a definite answer today?”

I asked with an unconsciously flustered face, and instead of answering, Greim smiled with his eyes folded.

So his eyes were definitely folded like a crescent moon giving the impression of smiling, but his mouth wasn’t smiling at all, making that expression very unique.

I felt a bit disappointed that this guy, more beautiful than anything else in the world, didn’t look very pretty when smiling.

And I unconsciously recalled Theor’s smile.

Indeed, when it comes to smiling, Theor is the best.

“Well then, please think about it. The prayer meeting starts tomorrow morning. If both of you attend, I will also accept your invitation, and if you don’t attend, I will unfortunately have to decline your proposal.”

Having finished speaking, Greim gestured toward the exit door, just like he had gestured for us to sit as soon as we entered.

I shrugged my shoulders once at him and said.

“Wait, isn’t this pointless to think about? In the end, if we don’t attend the prayer meeting, you won’t grant our request either.”

At my words, Greim again smiled with his eyes folded.

Still thinking his way of smiling was a bit unpleasant, I wondered if it would be good to fix that smiling method.

“Anyway, then I’ll discuss with Caroline here today and give you a definite answer. Is it okay to stay here? I won’t disturb your prayers.”

I clearly expressed my intention that I had no thought of leaving here, then smiled brightly.

Then Greim stared at me as if cursing with his eyes, but thanks to Caroline, I had entered this place easily and had no desire to hurry out, so I pretended not to notice.

I looked at Caroline and asked.

“What are you going to do?”

“Huh? Oh, I….”

While Caroline and I were sharing opinions on whether to attend tomorrow’s prayer meeting, Greim had turned his back to us and was praying while looking at the Holy Grail.

Come to think of it, Greim had both the holy relic and the divine beast.

The only one among all High Priests to possess a divine beast.

Because of that, his reputation shone brighter than other High Priests.

That divine beast later fell into a Dark Sorcerer’s trap and was on the verge of death from deadly poison.

I recalled the content about the divine beast from the original story I remembered.

The female protagonist Caroline detoxifies the divine beast that had been unable to wake up for years due to poison using her light attribute healing ability, and upon discovering that the poison was fed to the divine beast by a Dark Sorcerer who approached it, Greim begins to earnestly help the female protagonist and join the battle.

While doing so, he constantly clashes and fights with Lloyd and Theor who are already working with her to fight the forces of evil, but eventually grows fond of them and ends up watching Lloyd and Caroline’s wedding with a pleased smile.

Having recalled up to that point, I resolved to roll up my sleeves and work hard so that Greim could end up with Caroline in this life.

Since my favorite sister only wants the main male lead Crown Prince Lloyd, Caroline should naturally form connections with other characters.

Of course, Theor is the only one who knows my complete secret and even shares my summoned creature, so I can’t give him to Caroline.

No matter how I think about it, the only choice is Greim.

I looked at Greim’s back as he prayed and smiled slightly at the thought that even this cold man who didn’t seem human would eventually kneel before Caroline’s kindness.

“Eli?”

Then, Caroline, who had been telling me something, called me with a face asking if I was listening.

“Ah, sorry. Even Priest Greim’s back is beautiful.”

At my words, Greim suddenly turned his head to look at me.

Since I had been smiling while looking at the back of his head, our eyes met immediately.

At that moment, as soon as Greim’s eyes met mine, he quickly turned his head to look at the Holy Grail.

I wondered why he was acting like that, then saw that his ears were abnormally red.

How interesting. Even such a beautiful man gets embarrassed when told he’s handsome.

“So Eli, what do you think?”

Caroline asked me, and my gaze turned back to Caroline.

“Ah, I don’t mind. I have plenty of time and nothing else to do anyway. But what about you? Are you okay with attending the prayer meeting for a week?”

“Yeah, I don’t mind. Father would actually be happy about it.”

Caroline’s father, Marquis Triaje, had been constantly scheming to send her to the Imperial Shrine due to some priest’s sweet talk, even in normal times.

It was because of what they said about Caroline gaining stronger light attributes than previous light attribute users if she stayed at the Imperial Shrine, and ultimately he was thinking that if his daughter became the strongest among all attribute users, House of Triaje’s reputation would rise greatly.

So ultimately, if Caroline attended this prayer meeting, it would be the first step toward her becoming a sacrificial lamb to bring glory to the family according to her father’s wishes, which made her opinion most important.

“You know well that the reason your father likes it isn’t for your sake.”

At my words, Caroline’s eyes widened slightly, but soon she smiled brightly as if nothing had happened and said to me.

“I know. But responding to your invitation as the member you want is for my sake.”

At that, for some reason, I began to feel like my throat was tightening up.
