34.

 

She can speak this way because she has no idea about my impure reasons for inviting Greim.

 

‘Sorry Caroline… Thanks to you, our sister and Lloyd will walk only on a path of flowers.’

 

I smiled wickedly, pushing back the guilt that was surging within me.

 

“If you’re okay with it, then I like it. Prayer meetings or whatever, I’m someone who has nothing but time anyway.”

 

At my words, I felt Greim glance in my direction.

 

But his back of the head was mysteriously upright, facing the holy grail as if he had no interest in us whatsoever.

 

“Then let’s decide to participate. Um, Priest Greim.”

 

Caroline, who had nodded at me once, called out to Greim.

 

Greim turned his head to look at Caroline.

 

Even his profile was truly a work of art.

 

His straight nose bridge and coolly slanted eyes.

 

Even his lips that somehow seemed redder than mine.

 

I stared at his gracefully drawn profile as if enchanted, but soon Theor’s profile came to mind and my head quickly filled with thoughts of Theor.

 

Theor’s profile is really handsome too, if I put them side by side it would really look like a painting.

 

And if Lloyd joins them too, wow…

 

I began to look forward to the week on Omberon Island anew.

 

* * *

 

On the way home, Theor asked through my mind if he could contact me through the communication orb.

 

Since I also found it much more enjoyable to have conversations while looking directly at his handsome face rather than conversing in my head, I readily said I would contact him as soon as we arrived home.

 

[Did you have a good trip?]

 

As expected, I think I like this face the most.

 

Even though I had been looking at Greim’s beautiful face the whole time, my heart fluttered at Theor’s masculine face. I nodded once as my answer and gazed intently at his face in appreciation.

 

[What happened at the Imperial Shrine?]

 

Theor asked, looking at me with a worried expression.

 

It seemed like he, who had said he would contact me through the communication orb, was worried that I might have experienced something unpleasant at the Imperial Shrine.

 

The people at the Imperial Shrine were all quite upright and had pride in being Imperial Shrine people, considering all humans equal under God, whether high nobles or royalty.

 

They believed that only they were special humans because they lived with the High Priest who served God and heard God’s voice.

 

“Ah, nothing particular happened, but they made a proposal, saying they would accept my invitation if I accepted that proposal…”

 

[A proposal?]

 

Theor made his characteristic displeased expression and raised one eyebrow.

 

Even that look was handsome. As expected, by my standards, Theor seems to be the most handsome of the three.

 

[Tell me the details.]

 

Theor urged me as I was blankly admiring his face.

 

I explained what happened today to Theor briefly and concisely.

 

I heard Theor muttering “that bastard” several times in between, but even then I didn’t know that Greim and Theor knew each other.

 

Because such a story never came up in the original work.

 

But I became a bit puzzled by Theor calling Greim’s name so familiarly and asked.

 

“But did you know each other originally? You’re calling his name so casually…”

 

[Ah, don’t you know? His Highness the Crown Prince, myself, and Greim learned attribute theory from the same master since childhood.]

 

He said that although each had different attributes, they learned theory about all attributes from one master.

 

Greim, who was a priest, was also a noble and had the same wind attribute ability as Lloyd, but since he could hear divine oracles from childhood, the Emperor attached Theor with dark attributes and Greim who could hear God’s voice to Crown Prince Lloyd.

 

I was a bit amazed to learn about a part that was never covered in the original work, but if those three had been close since childhood, it would have been a natural progression for them to join forces as adults to defeat the villain, and I found myself nodding.

 

[Anyway, don’t get too close to that guy. He has somewhat eccentric tendencies, so nothing good will come from becoming his interest.]

 

“Ah, I’m planning to set him up with Caroline, so I’ll need to get somewhat close to him…”

 

[Countess Triaize?]

 

“Yes, I think we need to become friends to have fun together during the vacation.”

 

I told him that the mansion on Omberon Island had three floors, with the 3rd floor for Perioze’s Sister and Lloyd, the 2nd floor for me and Theor, and the remaining 1st floor for Caroline and Greim.

 

When I continued saying that we needed to become friends in advance since we’d have to stick together as couples for the entire week, Theor looked a bit surprised and muttered the word “couple.”

 

“Well, Caroline will become closer to Priest Greim than I will…”

 

[Couples.]

 

Theor interrupted me and said to me.

 

“Yes?”

 

[We are.]

 

“…Well, yes.”

 

I was a bit flustered by the situation where I had naturally made Theor and myself into a couple on my own.

 

Dividing the floors was naturally something I should have asked the other party’s opinion about, but I never once asked for Theor’s opinion.

 

That was because it felt like everything was flowing very naturally as if it were obvious, so I didn’t even think to ask.

 

What if Theor wanted to be a couple with Caroline instead?

 

Even if he said no now, if it was his destiny to end up that way, wouldn’t he unconsciously fall in love with Caroline?

 

That was when it happened.

 

[Then I should act more like a couple.]

 

“…Excuse me?”

 

[I’ll escort you to the Imperial Shrine tomorrow in my carriage.]

 

“What?”

 

[Then, I’ll see you tomorrow, Elinea.]

 

What is this…

 

I was left dumbfounded because Theor cut off the communication orb without listening to my next words.

 

He said we were a couple, so he would act more like a couple and escort me in his carriage tomorrow.

 

That meant that for the sake of the days when I’d be trapped in the Imperial Shrine doing nothing but praying to death for a week, he, who had no reason to go to the Imperial Shrine, would take me there.

 

Because we were a couple.

 

Whoosh—

 

My face burst into flames.

 

I wasn’t talking about that kind of couple at all, but I was flustered that he interpreted it that way, yet my heart was pounding wildly at his seemingly delighted appearance.

 

He doesn’t seem to realize that I might misunderstand this way.

 

“It’s hot…”

 

I fanned my reddened face with my hand and looked out the window, suddenly overwhelmed by Theor’s closeness.

 

In my head, trivial worries like what I should wear tomorrow to look the most beautiful in the world were jumbling up and making a mess of my mind.

 

And the next day.

 

I had stayed up late the night before worrying about how I should look when meeting Theor and ended up dozing off. Oh no, what if my skin becomes rough.

 

“Beki, Beki!”

 

I hurriedly ordered Beki to make me look the most beautiful in the world, but without making it obvious that I was trying, yet still dazzlingly pretty.

 

Beki cursed me with her eyes seeing her master making such difficult orders from the early morning breeze, but I didn’t care.

 

Since I wouldn’t be able to see him for a week once I entered the Imperial Shrine, I had to make him remember the week with my prettiest appearance.

 

Communication orbs were also prohibited in the Imperial Shrine, and those attending prayer meetings couldn’t have visitors, so there would be no contact except for conversations in our heads.

 

So I thought my final image should be truly beautiful during our mental conversations.

 

After finishing such a rather difficult order, I was dozing off, perhaps because I was too tired. When I opened my eyes, I saw an angel had descended from somewhere in the mirror.

 

“Woooow…”

 

“Do you like it?”

 

“Is this really me?”

 

“Of course. It’s naturally you, Miss.”

 

Beki had amazingly well created the appearance I ordered – seemingly unadorned yet dazzlingly beautiful and pretty.

 

Of course, since Elinea’s base was so pretty, she was beautiful with just a little decoration, but anyway, the current appearance was different from the cute and lively look I had seen so far, with a strong elegant and pure feeling.

 

At this rate, won’t Theor fall for me too?

 

“Since you’re attending the Imperial Shrine prayer meeting, we need to do this much to completely crush the spirits of the countesses there.”

 

Beki said with a very proud face.

 

I looked at Beki through the mirror as she smiled while touching the decorations in my hair to make them more complete.

 

Looking at Beki, who had no idea that my target wasn’t the countess nobodies who would pray together at the Imperial Shrine but Theor Etheran, I thought I should buy her a gift later.
