“Why should I and my husband be the only ones to see this suspicious letter?”

Trisha, who had revealed the letter to Rute and Mikhail, declared boldly.

“Exactly. They must be idiots who don’t properly understand your personalities.”

“But knowing about your condition is no ordinary matter. At least they’re idiots with information networks.”

Mikhail’s face hardened like frost after checking the contents.

How dare they not only target him and his beloved wife, but also use Rute’s illness—their most painful weakness—as bait?

Whatever bastard this was, he would never let them live.

“There’s no one around, right?”

At Trisha’s words, Rute nodded.

“They must have just shot the arrow and fled.”

Not only in skill, but in sensing presence, Rute was incomparably superior among the three.

Whether it was because his poor health made him more sensitive, or if there was another reason, he didn’t know.

“Then they don’t know we’re putting our heads together to think about this. What should we do?”

The letter had a rough map drawn on it.

If they made a decision, they could depart right away.

“…Let’s wait for Ordel.”

But Rute shook his head.

“They might be simple idiots, but it’s certain they have information networks.”

“Will it be okay? The little bird isn’t the Holy Maiden anymore, right? Hasn’t her power diminished a bit?”

“That part is fine.”

Because Ordel is the real Holy Maiden.

So if it was something suspicious, it was much better to face it together with her.

Especially Rute’s illness.

According to Ordel, the one who planted the disease in him was an enemy called ‘Evil.’

If whoever sent this letter was related to that, they would need Ordel even more.

“She’ll be back soon. So let’s discuss in advance how we’ll deal with those bastards when we meet them.”

At Rute’s calm words, Trisha and Mikhail glanced at each other.

They had thought he had opened his heart because Ordel had alleviated his pain.

But to say it was only that, he was too deeply fallen for Ordel.

Of all people, Rute.

Rute, who had been ill since childhood and learned not to trust anyone easily, was trusting someone this much.

He had never been like this even with his parents, who supported him absolutely.

It had been just over six months since Ordel and Rute got to know each other.

They were extremely curious about what could have happened between them in that time to form such deep trust.

‘This isn’t simply a situation where we can ask Miss Ordel to become our daughter-in-law.’

Trisha stroked her chin.

The first person Rute had ever trusted.

If something happened to such a person, Rute might not just be angry but go completely insane.

Trisha resolved once again that she must protect Ordel at all costs, even if it meant mobilizing all of Siery’s power and wealth.

From now on, anyone who touches Ordel is an enemy of Siery.

“Did you all miss me?”

I burst into the scene of the attack and smiled brightly at the chaotic center.

It was just a joke, but…

“Yes! I missed you so, so much!”

“I missed you too, Lady Ordel!”

Idella and Jeremy, both my age, answered loudly.

Then I should live up to their expectations.

I reached toward the mace that had fallen after blocking the spear.

Divine power flew out like a rope, grabbed the mace, and returned it to me.

I had tried this after seeing Rute use magic, wondering if it was possible with divine power too, and it worked!

Now I too have reached the realm of telekinesis.

“Be careful, Lady Ordel! There’s an enemy nearby whose presence is hard to detect!”

At Airic’s warning, I nodded.

Maybe my divine power is still insufficient, as I can’t see them well, but I don’t only have divine power.

【Warning!】

【Warning!】

【Automatic warning system activated.】

【AI system notifies user. An impure being harboring the power of ‘Evil’ holds killing intent toward the user.】

【They are approaching the user, please be careful for your safety.】

I have an automatic warning system.

I loosely gripped the mace and relaxed my body to make the enemy let their guard down.

【Warning!】

【Warning!】

The noisy alerts grew faster and faster, then finally turned into a harsh ringing sound.

At that moment, I gripped the mace tightly and swung it hard.

Crack!

Along with the pleasant sound of impact I hadn’t heard in a long time, I felt a thrilling sensation in my hands.

This is it, this feeling!

“Ugh, argh!”

The assailant who took a direct hit from the mace staggered.

Oh my, their defense must be quite solid since they’re still not letting go of their sword even now?

“Then one more hit.”

I swung the mace once more, filled with 40% of my divine power.

Crack!

“Aaaaagh!”

Thud.

Unable to endure any longer, the assailant dropped their sword and collapsed on the spot.

The rain-soaked ground became wet with the blood they spilled.

“But since you’re annoying, take one more hit.”

Crack!

I swung the mace once more at their back.

“Urgh…”

With a pained groan, their upper body collapsed completely.

They should have just collapsed after one hit. Why did they pointlessly endure it.

“…I suddenly have a headache.”

Jeremy muttered from far away.

Seeing him massage his head, he must be remembering when he first attacked me and got hit in the head multiple times with a club.

“Now then, everyone. I’ve dealt with the troublesome enemy, so please take care of the rest.”

There were still many enemies remaining.

They seemed to have lost their will seeing the assailant completely destroyed by my hands.

Thanks to that, we can kill them more easily.

Soon the screams of enemies echoed along with Seth and Jeremy’s splendid sword dance.

“Lady Ordel…”

“Shh.”

I stopped Idella from approaching me and immediately activated the map system.

Thanks to my strengthened divine power, a pretty good function had been added to the map system.

‘Where is Joseph Kiris?’

It was a function that could immediately locate anyone weaker than me in combat power.

I should make good use of this going forward.

“Jeremy!”

When about three enemies remained, I called out to Jeremy.

Jeremy, who had just plunged a dagger into one man’s throat, immediately ran to my side.

“Yes, Lady Ordel.”

“Count Kiris should be about 1km southwest of here. Could you go capture him alive for me?”

Since Jeremy was fast on his feet, I asked him for this favor.

“Understood! I’ll be right back.”

Jeremy gave a crisp salute and immediately climbed up a tree before disappearing.

“Now then…”

I looked down at the assailant writhing like a worm at my feet.

Though he’d been beaten three times with a holy relic, he still possessed quite a bit of ‘Evil’s’ power, so there was no telling when he might escape.

I rummaged around my waist. Something very familiar caught in my hand.

“Lady Ordel, what is that?”

Idella asked, looking at what I held in my hand.

Two round rings and a chain connecting them.

This was none other than!

“Handcuffs.”

I felt so empty without these.

So before coming to the capital, I made a bunch of them from holy stones.

Since the materials only required divine power, I happily mass-produced them.

With my blessing infused in them, the subordinates of ‘Evil’ would never be able to break free from these handcuffs.

I hummed a tune while putting handcuffs on the wrists and ankles of the assailant I had beaten down.

It had been so long since I felt this sensation that I was somehow excited.

CRASH!

“Huh, what was that?”

I had put about five handcuffs on the assailant when this happened.

I was startled by the sudden loud noise and looked up.

I thought it might be the sound of Seth dealing with the assailants, but it wasn’t.

“Wow, High Priestess…”

Airic was sending an assailant flying with an incredibly thick whip I’d never seen before.

“You were hiding such combat skills?”

A whip.

It suited Airic well, yet was somehow terrifying.

And why was it that color?

It was pure white, but why was it stained red in places?

Does he use that whip when torturing criminals?

Is it stained with blood?

“Only Lady Ordel, you say.”

Airic glanced at my mace.

Oops, I haven’t explained to everyone yet.

I smiled sheepishly.

There was truly so much I needed to explain.

RUSTLE!

“I’m back!”

Just then, Jeremy dropped down from the air.

In his hands, as I had requested, was Joseph Kiris captured.

“Wh-what is this!”

What a pathetic sight, struggling while Jeremy held him by the scruff of his neck.

I set down the assailant and approached him.

Jeremy forced him to his knees and grabbed his hair to make him look up at me.

I really like this setup.

“Hello, Count Kiris.”

“You, you, you! Ordel Kiris!”

The Count glared at me with bloodshot eyes.

He struggled as if he didn’t like looking up at me, but there was no way he could overcome Jeremy’s strength.

I looked down at him with a smile.

“Curious, aren’t you? Why I’m here when I clearly went somewhere else with the Siery family.”

At my words, the Count’s movements stopped abruptly.

I revealed the cruel truth to him.

“It’s because I sent you that letter.”

That letter where I pretended to be the lord you serve, commanding you to attack Idella.

“I wrote that.”

This was all part of my plan to capture Count Kiris.
