But well, just because there was a connection in a past life doesn’t mean it has to continue in this life.

If the two are truly destined, they’ll end up together no matter what interference comes between them.

“Don’t worry, I won’t lay a hand on Count Kiris until His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress give permission.”

I stepped forward to end the confrontation between the two.

Actually, I’d already touched him, but since he looks fine on the outside, it’s okay.

“…The Imperial Palace wishes to maintain good relations with the Grand Temple.”

I nodded at Feliks’s words.

“The Sun God’s Main Temple feels the same way.”

“However, if the Grand Temple tries to threaten the Imperial Palace’s authority…”

Feliks’s beautiful teal eyes flashed.

“Then the Imperial Palace won’t stand by and watch either.”

“Ah, yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”

We have no such intention either.

Rather, we’re going to root out the ‘Evil’ that has taken hold in the Imperial Palace.

When that time comes, they’ll bow in gratitude.

“Then I’ll see you in a little while.”

Feliks turned around sharply.

The blue-haired aide chased after him.

Seeing that hair reminded me, so I hurriedly called out.

“I’m waiting for the Holy Stone purchase contract, so please send it anytime!”

Feliks’s body trembled slightly, but he left quickly without answering.

“Good work.”

Only then did I pat Idella’s shoulder gently.

“Was I helpful?”

Despite having confronted the Crown Prince, far from being intimidated, Idella looked up at me with sparkling eyes.

I nodded vigorously.

“Yes, very much so. Without you, Miss Idella, it would have taken much longer to catch the Count.”

I would have dealt with him eventually.

But because Idella was there, I could catch him faster and more easily.

Because she willingly took on the danger in my place.

“Thank you.”

After all, I can’t save the world alone.

Even the Three Patron Deities failed, so how could I do it by myself?

These people might become endangered, but if we fail, everyone dies anyway, so I have no choice but to ask for help.

“Then could you speak casually to me too? You treat Monica and Jeremy warmly, but you use formal speech with me, so I feel left out.”

Idella, you were concerned about that…?

“You’re the Holy Maiden right now, so I can’t, but later.”

“Yes!”

Idella smiled brightly.

Looking at that face quietly, I asked carefully.

I’m worried about something.

“There’s something I want to ask. Do you feel anything from the Crown Prince?”

She likes the Crown Prince, but she didn’t confront him because of me, did she?

“Actually, for some reason, my gaze keeps going to him. When I first saw him up close, my heart was pounding…”

Gasp, did I really become a couple breaker?

“That’s why it’s strange. I wonder if my instincts are warning me of danger?”

“…”

Hmm, normally when your gaze is drawn to someone and your heart pounds, wouldn’t you suspect it’s love at first sight…?

Danger, she says.

“Is that so.”

Still, I didn’t just brush off those words.

Not now, but she was once chosen by the Sun God as a Holy Maiden.

I should watch to see if she really sensed danger, or if she misunderstood the feelings of love at first sight.

“Then please take care of the cleanup. I’ll be going now.”

After briefly greeting everyone and thoroughly petting Jeremy who stuck his head out, I mounted a horse tied nearby and rode off.

“Map, show me the point I marked.”

The three members of the Sieri family are stronger than me, so they don’t appear on the map.

So I deliberately fixed the meeting place on the map before leaving.

Fortunately, the three were still in that spot.

“I’m sorry. I’m too late…”

The moment I hurriedly dismounted and approached.

I was stunned by the scene unfolding before my eyes.

“Oh, you came quickly.”

“Did things go well?”

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

The Sieri family asking after my well-being…

Were leisurely enjoying camping in the middle of a rainy forest with a protective barrier spread out.

Portable chairs, a campfire, and Mikhail even had a table set up and was cooking.

Where did all this come from?

“Nothing’s more convenient than spatial magic.”

Mikhail smiled brightly as he chopped carrots rapidly.

Being a Sword Master, his knife skills were better than a master chef’s.

“Come sit. Misha’s cooking is excellent, so you can look forward to it.”

“It’s really nice sitting together and cooking like this.”

Trisha and Mikhail smiled cheerfully.

Yes, they look very happy.

I also smiled and sat beside them.

Rute instantly dried my soaked body.

“So, what did you go do?”

I had told Rute in advance last night, but I hadn’t had a chance to explain to Trisha and Mikhail.

I briefly filled them in.

“…So, you used the Holy Maiden as bait to lure out the Count and caught him?”

“Yes.”

I nodded while slurping the stew Mikhail made for me.

Wow, he really cooks well.

If Trisha or Rute had made it, I would have declined by any means necessary.

Since Mikhail made it right in front of me, I could eat it with confidence.

“A Grand Temple that agrees to using the Holy Maiden as bait…”

“I thought their behavior was quite outrageous, but this exceeds my imagination.”

Mikhail and Trisha alternately clicked their tongues.

“It was originally an extremely sensible place, but common sense has definitely been destroyed since Ordel entered.”

What?

I glared at Rute sitting next to me.

But he was confident.

“Why? Did I say something wrong?”

“…”

I can’t bring myself to say no.

Honestly, it’s true that things started going strangely after I possessed this body.

This is all because of the Sun God who wants money.

【’Sun Risen from Death’ trembles and turns his head so hard it might break.】

“Anyway, the Count’s family will soon fall to ruin. Even if the Imperial Palace tries to stop it, I’ll make sure it happens.”

“You’re still part of the Kiris household, is that okay? Since you quit being the Holy Maiden, you’ll be tied to the family.”

“I naturally have a plan for that too.”

My goal isn’t just to bring down the Count.

I also want to completely remove the surname ‘Kiris’ from behind my name.

“Besides, Rute said he’d help me too.”

With not only the Sun God’s Main Temple that has the holy stones and potions, but also Duke Siery on my side, the Imperial Palace absolutely won’t be able to ignore me.

“More importantly, did anything happen while I was away?”

“There was something.”

I asked out of courtesy, but surprisingly, Rute handed me a crumpled piece of paper.

If you want to cure your son’s illness, don’t tell anyone including your son, and come alone with your husband.

“This is…”

“It came flying attached to an arrow, how tacky.”

“Why wouldn’t I tell anyone? I showed it to Rute right away and waited for you to come.”

Trisha snorted loudly.

Mikhail was also laughing hollowly, saying it was a ridiculous threat.

“…”

But I couldn’t laugh at all.

Now I understand why Trisha and Mikhail died before my regression.

It’s because those bastards used Rute’s condition as bait.

The current Rute doesn’t feel any pain at all thanks to me.

He even has hope that I’ll cure his illness someday, but what about the previous life?

The Holy Relic of Light would have been eroding Rute’s body, so he must have suffered severe pain.

Seeing their son’s condition gradually worsen, the couple would have had no choice but to fall into the trap even knowing it was one.

And the two of them would have died without even being able to cure Rute’s illness.

Those really evil bastards.

“I’m debating whether to ignore it or go check it out. What do you think?”

“We should definitely go.”

There’s nothing to think about.

“It’s suspicious enough that they know about Rute’s illness when no one else does.”

Now it’s time for Trisha and Mikhail to learn the secret behind Rute’s illness too.

“If they’re people who know about Rute’s illness, there’s only one possibility.”

“…Don’t tell me.”

“The main culprits who made Rute sick.”

Trisha and Mikhail’s faces hardened severely.

The two began emanating murderous intent.

“How dare they, the main culprits who made my son sick?”

“I think the possibility is quite high.”

Well, it’s actually one hundred percent certain.

“Let’s go right now.”

Mikhail shot up from his seat.

He was already gripping his sword tightly.

“Let’s see the faces of whatever bastards did this kind of thing.”

Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen Mikhail speak so murderously.

You bastards waiting for us, you’re all screwed.
