“You, you know about the future!”

“We must, we must elevate Ordel to demigod status!”

Stop it, you fools.

“Calm down. It’s absolutely not perfect foresight. If that were possible, I would have become rich long ago and been living luxuriously.”

“I see….”

Airic and Rute became dejected once again.

As expected, proving I’m poor is the most convincing.

“The fact that Rute would come to the Sun God’s Main Temple, that Count Kiris is a subordinate of ‘Evil’, that they would target Lady Trisha and Lord Mikhail. I had no idea about any of it.”

When I said I knew nothing about most of the major events, Airic nodded.

However, Rute made a strange expression.

“Then does that mean you already knew that the holy relic would be poison to me, that Count Kiris possessed the Land of Rubar with holy stones, and that my parents would be in danger?”

I, I only said one thing, so how did he figure out all the rest?

What’s with this perceptiveness?

“…You already knew, which is why you obtained that land from the Count.”

Even Airic burst out in admiration.

Afraid they might start the demigod talk again, I quickly continued speaking.

“But that’s all. I don’t know what will happen from now on. There’s no way for me to know either.”

The original story had already gone completely off track, and most of the remaining information wasn’t even true.

Joo Hyun-jin, who wrote 【Holy Idella】, that is, Ordel from my previous life, died before all the truths were revealed.

“It’s fine. We’ve already benefited greatly from Lady Ordel’s foresight.”

Nevertheless, Airic showed no disappointment at all.

“Originally, people don’t know what will happen in the future. That’s why everyone works hard to achieve the results they want. We can do the same.”

Airic stood up from his seat and knelt before me.

“Lady Ordel, you are no longer alone. We will help you for a peaceful and safe future. Please feel free to use me, to use everyone in the Main Temple.”

He placed his right hand on his left chest and looked up at me with a bright face.

As if he was truly happy to be able to help me.

“I will become Lady Ordel’s reliable spear and shield.”

It was the moment when I was only moving my lips, not knowing what to say.

“I can do everything by myself.”

Rute, who was sitting next to me, pressed close to me.

Then he intertwined his fingers with my left hand and kissed the back of my hand deeply.

“Use me as much as you want. I’ll produce results beyond what you desire.”

I had the illusion that sparks were flying from his silver-gray eyes looking straight at me.

“Lady Ordel is the daughter of the Sun God. As long as God serves as a bridge, we and Lady Ordel can never be separated.”

Airic clicked his tongue and took my right hand.

Then he bent down and touched his forehead to the back of my hand.

“Lady Ordel is our Holy Maiden.”

“Ordel is my savior.”

The two men began glaring at each other.

Ah, I get it, so stop.

“Don’t fight and just both help me. Unless we all join forces, defeating ‘Evil’ will be impossible.”

I sighed and pulled out my caught hands to gently pat both men’s heads.

“…And thank you. For believing in me.”

Rute’s trust level, who doesn’t doubt me no matter what I say.

And Airic too, who believed without a moment’s hesitation that I, who was a fake Holy Maiden, had become real.

I was truly grateful.

Thud!

“…What was that sound?”

It was the moment when I was diligently patting Airic, who wouldn’t return to his seat, and Rute, who was blinded by jealousy.

Suddenly a loud noise was heard.

“Master! There’s been an intruder in the dungeon!”

Yuri shouted while banging on the bedroom door.

“They must have come to silence us.”

How thoughtful of them.

We immediately rushed outside.

Even on the way, we heard the loud noise several more times, but honestly, I wasn’t too worried.

“…Hmm, actually no. I’m worried about the estate’s safety.”

Part of the townhouse wall leading to the dungeon had collapsed completely.

At this rate, won’t the entire estate collapse?

“It’s fine. Siery’s estate has the advantage of being sturdy.”

However, the actual homeowner was just indifferent.

“In Siery, fighting is part of daily life.”

At those words, the image of Trisha and Rute constantly arguing flashed through my mind.

Hmm, it should be fine.

Having dismissed my worries about the estate, I headed straight to where the commotion was happening.

“Lady Ordel!”

Through the thick dust clouds, Jeremy waved his hands vigorously, holding daggers in both hands.

Around him lay several enemies who had already become corpses.

I knew they would attack, so I sent Jeremy ahead of time.

Idella is safe right now since she’s at the Sun God’s Grand Temple filled with divine power.

“Did you finish them all?”

“Yeah. But these guys seem to be getting stronger. Look at this. I got hurt.”

Jeremy put away his daggers and approached me, extending his right arm.

“….”

My heart went cold at the deep wound that was dripping blood.

“Are they really all dead? Did you check?”

“…Huh?”

I reached my hand toward the enemies.

Golden divine power pierced through the already dead ones once more.

“How dare you injure my child, not knowing your place?”

However, venting anger on already dead enemies couldn’t possibly relieve my feelings.

I carefully grasped Jeremy’s injured arm.

【Activating skill ‘Holy Spear’. Healing wounds.】

The wound healed instantly, and even all the blood on it completely disappeared.

Certainly, as it was upgraded, the ability had also improved.

“Good work, Jeremy. And thank you.”

I hugged Jeremy tightly.

I do need everyone’s help, but seeing him injured like this really makes me feel bad.

“No, no. I just did, hehe, what I had to do. Hehehe.”

Fortunately, Jeremy made strange laughing sounds and hugged my waist tightly, seeming not to be in pain.

Yeah, seeing the strength that seems like it could break my waist, he’s fine.

Only then did I feel relieved.

With Jeremy clinging to my back and not letting go, I went down to the dungeon through the hole in the wall.

Airic and Rute, who had been subtly keeping each other in check, were now even having a staring contest with the child, but I didn’t mind.

Upon entering the prison, I saw Joseph Kiris and Jessi Lunata.

Joseph Kiris seemed to have already lost his mind, remaining dazed despite the considerable commotion.

I left him alone and approached Jessi.

She, who had her limbs fixed to the wall, flinched and trembled when our eyes met.

“Have you gotten used to it already?”

To think she’s not struggling even though she’s bound by holy relic handcuffs.

The handcuffs’ power seems rather weak. Since my divine power has increased, I should make them sturdier.

“How does it feel that your comrades who came to silence you are dead?”

I asked while tapping the prison bars.

Of course, Jesi couldn’t answer since she had a gag in her mouth.

“Disappointed you can’t die? You couldn’t die alone so you needed your comrades’ help, but that hope has vanished.”

Jesi’s purple eyes wavered.

Betrayal?

There’s no way the blind subordinates of ‘Evil’ would feel such a thing.

Rather, Jesi would want to die more than anyone right now.

“Nothing would be more terrifying to you than me interrogating you personally.”

“Mmph, mmph!”

As I entered the prison, Jesi began struggling.

However, there was nowhere to escape.

“You should have confessed long ago. Then you wouldn’t have had to face me like this.”

I smiled brightly while stroking Jeremy’s soft hair hanging behind my back.

“If it becomes too hard to endure, don’t hold back and just spill everything you know. Got it?”

I reached my hand toward her.

“Oh, by the way, I won’t remove the gag, so speak up properly on your own.”

“Mmph! Mmmph!”

I have no idea what you’re saying.

Not that I intend to listen anyway.

【Activating skill ‘Holy Spear’ at minimum level.】

Golden light faintly emanated from my fingertips.

It was only at the level of a thin spider’s thread, but the moment its tip touched Jesi.

“Mmmmmgh! Grrgh!”

Jesi’s eyes widened. Bloodshot veins appeared in her eyes.

She trembled far more violently than when she wore the white handcuffs.

Normally I should torture, heal, torture, heal, repeating this cycle. But my healing power becomes poison to Jesi instead.

So what choice do I have.

I can only slowly inflict pain with minimal force.

“What can you do. Blame yourself for accepting Evil’s power.”

Who told you to serve such a bastard?

This is all your karma.

“If you change your mind, open your mouth anytime. Of course, remove the gag yourself. If you’re truly desperate, you should be able to do that much on your own.”

Until you personally remove the gag and confess, the pain will continue.

I smiled and raised the Holy Spear’s output just a little more.

“Grrrrgh!”

Blood vessels burst in Jesi’s eyes with a pop, instantly dyeing the whites red.

Even seeing her agonized face stirred no emotion in me.

The people you killed in my previous life suffered more than this.

My friend who was used until the end and died, and Rute who couldn’t even control his own death, both hurt more than you do now.

So I too will show you no mercy.
