【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ smiles proudly.】

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ laughs happily.】

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ looks at the user with a proud expression.】

System messages had been continuously appearing since the triumph ceremony ended.

Perhaps it was because I had seen the Sun God directly.

The image of the Sun God sitting with his chin propped up, grinning broadly, naturally came to mind.

And that too, as if showing off in front of the other two gods.

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ says stop acting so smug, asking if only your Holy Maiden is something to be proud of when this god’s Holy Maiden is also very cool.】

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ doesn’t listen at all and only stares at the user with sparkling eyes.】

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ clicks their tongue, saying that after the modifier changed, they’ve become even more insufferable.】

【’Raging Sea’ completely ignores ‘Light of Perseverance and Faith’.】

Whether the two gods clicked their tongues beside him or not, the Sun God remained unchanged.

Well, it’s natural that he’d be in a good mood since his status skyrocketed vertically thanks to me becoming the triumphant general.

Honestly, I’m surprised too.

Who would have thought that everyone who participated in the war, including the Imperial Palace, would unanimously choose me as the triumphant general.

Even if others did so, I thought the Imperial Palace would want to give strength to the new Crown Prince Bizra.

Surprisingly, I heard that the Emperor and Empress proposed it first.

They really are sensible people.

If ‘Evil’ hadn’t tried to manipulate young Feliks’s mind, Feliks might have actually become a decent ruler.

Well, Feliks was also at fault for giving ‘Evil’ an opening to infiltrate.

If Feliks hadn’t harbored dark thoughts, ‘Evil’ would never have been able to touch him due to the blessing power that runs through the Imperial Family’s bloodline for generations.

I couldn’t bring myself to say this because I was afraid the Emperor and Empress would be too sad.

“Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden of the Eternal God has come to visit.”

After the triumph ceremony and the events celebrating my achievements ended.

I began preparing to attend the party that would be held in the evening.

I was comfortably preparing in the separate palace that the Imperial Palace had specially provided for me when Jin came to visit.

“Welcome, Jin!”

As the door opened and Jin entered, I spread both arms wide but then stopped.

“My goodness! You’re so beautiful!”

Unlike during the triumph ceremony when she wore black Holy Maiden ceremonial robes, Jin was wearing a bright red dress.

The sensual dress that fully revealed her straight shoulders and showed off her slender figure perfectly suited my friend, who was the most beautiful person in the world.

“I expected it would suit you well, but it’s beyond imagination. You’re really, really so beautiful, Jin.”

Looking at the beautiful dress that hugged tightly to her hips and upper thighs before spreading wide below, I covered my mouth with both hands.

The dress Jin wore was made by Madam Karso, currently the most successful tailor in the Empire, and I had personally requested it.

Although Olga Heriott, Lute’s dedicated tailor, was also skilled, I heard that more glamorous and sensual dresses were Madam Karso’s specialty, so I entrusted it to her without a second thought…

Ah, it really was the best choice of my life.

The gorgeous red frilled lace extending from chest to waist to hips, and the black ribbon lace that swayed gently behind her waist as she walked, added sensuality and made her even more beautiful.

Is there a law saying Holy Maidens must only wear sacred and elegant dresses?

Wearing dresses that suit everything is the best.

“Everyone, what do you think? Isn’t our Holy Maiden so beautiful?”

I asked the maids who had been helping with my preparations.

The maids, who had been staring blankly at Jin’s incredible beauty, nodded as if they had been waiting for this.

“She’s truly so beautiful.”

“How can someone so beautiful exist?”

“She’s the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen… Ah, of course the Holy Maiden of the Sun God is also very beautiful!”

The maid who said the last part looked at me nervously in surprise.

Why are you looking at me when you’re telling the truth?

“No, my friend is still prettier. Jin is the most beautiful person in the world.”

My friend is truly the world’s greatest beauty.

“…Yes, you’re right, Holy Maiden.”

“The Holy Maiden of the Eternal God is truly the most beautiful.”

I smiled contentedly at the maids’ agreement.

Having heard what I wanted to hear, I now gestured for them to leave.

After everyone left, only Jin and I remained.

“You really haven’t changed at all either.”

Only then did Jin burst into laughter and shake her head.

“It’s true that you’re beautiful.”

At my words, Jin smiled happily with a pleased expression.

“I heard from the tailor that you requested this dress? Thank you, I really like it too.”

Jin tucked her flowing hair behind her ear with her hand wearing black lace gloves.

Even her hair decorated with red flowers was beautiful.

“Of course, you know me best in the world.”

“Well, naturally.”

“You look really beautiful today too. It was worth coming to see you after finishing preparations quickly.”

Jin looked at me contentedly.

I turned my head toward the mirror in front of me.

If Jin’s dress was a mermaid line that showed dramatic curves, my dress had a more subdued straight-falling fit.

However, the fabric was very soft and thin, and the area near my left thigh was covered with dense lace, so it didn’t feel plain or stuffy at all.

Moreover, thanks to the gorgeously sparkling jewels embroidered all over the dress, it was more glamorous than elegant.

It was even more so because the dress was a subtle purple color.

“It looks really expensive. Did you prepare that too?”

“No, this was Lu, te who…”

I was answering reflexively when I trailed off at Jin’s face instantly contorting.

Hmm, come to think of it, since I woke up, we haven’t had a chance to talk comfortably, so I haven’t told her yet that I’m dating Lute.

“That dress?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“That dress with the back so completely open?”

At Jin’s ominous question, I awkwardly touched my back.

I felt bare skin, not fabric.

The point of this dress wasn’t the jewels or the lace decorating the side of my thigh.

It was the back that was completely open down to around my waist.

Why is this the point?

…Because there’s an incredibly luxurious diamond necklace hanging long from the back of my neck down to below my shoulder blades.

To show this off, unlike usual, I had put all my hair up.

Who would have thought I’d wear such an expensive necklace in my lifetime.

Honestly, at this point, it was embarrassing to even call it a necklace.

“Did that bastard Lute give you all the accessories too?”

“Th, at’s right.”

The wealth of House of Sieri is truly amazing the more I learn about it.

Lute, who casually kicked away the position of head of such a family, is even more amazing though.

Well, anyway, since he’s direct lineage, even after returning the ducal title, he can continue using the family’s wealth.

“…I don’t like it, but it suits you so well that I can’t say anything about it.”

Jin clicked her tongue in displeasure.

Will those two ever become friends?

“So are you two dating now?”

At the sudden question, I thought I was really going to faint.

“…Huh? What?”

“Right, you are dating.”

I had only asked back, but Jin, who instantly grasped the situation, clicked her tongue.

It’s hard to lie in front of a friend you’ve known your whole life.

“Rute, that bastard finally managed to….”

Jin crossed her arms as if she didn’t approve.

This must be how it feels to be anxious when your mother-in-law doesn’t like the lover you brought home.

“Do you really dislike him that much?”

“If I said I hated him, would you break up?”

“That’s not happening.”

How could I break up when I like him so much?

I’ll just keep appealing to Jin that he’s a decent person.

“I figured as much. I don’t plan to oppose it if you like him. I’ll just torment that Rute bastard who dared to steal you away.”

That much, well.

What can I do? Rute will have to work hard to win over my family’s hearts.

“So you’re going to keep living in the capital? What about your Holy Maiden duties?”

“Ah, after the triumph ceremony ends, I’ll wrap up things in the capital and return to the main temple. Now is the perfect time to elevate the Sun God’s status.”

“So a long-distance relationship right after you start dating? That Rute bastard is going to suffer.”

Jin smiled with satisfaction.

Should I tell her that Trisha is pregnant, and that Rute said he’d pass the ducal title to the unborn child and follow me?

I hesitated for a moment, but then shook my head.

Anyway, Rute will have to continue his ducal duties for at least one year, at most two years.

I’ll tell her later.

Right now, there was something more important to discuss.

“Jin, what are you… going to do?”

I’d already finished talking with Rute about this, but not with Jin.

I hadn’t heard anything about Jin’s future plans.

Since we’re friends who’ve spent almost our entire lives together, I’d like her to come with me to the Sun God’s main temple….

“I’m going to the Temple of the Annihilation God.”

However, Jin’s thoughts were different.

Since I had somewhat expected this, I gave a bitter smile.

So she’s going there after all.
