I deliberately didn’t use divine power and treated them all with potions only.

 

With the new version potions containing 25% divine power blessings.

 

The Knight Commander was beyond the level that could be treated with potions, so I had no choice, but actually there was another real reason I didn’t use my power.

 

“I needed to see how far the Sun God’s potions would work.”

 

Monster poison couldn’t be treated with potions containing only 10% divine power blessings.

 

But with 25%, I learned from this incident that it could treat anything that wasn’t immediately life-threatening wounds.

 

This was truly an enormous gain.

 

“We’ll soon start selling potions in the Southern Region too. That’s why I personally visited the south this time.”

 

“The Southern Region?”

 

Carly, who had only maintained silence without joining the conversation, asked for the first time.

 

I immediately nodded.

 

“Yes. Our goal is to spread Sun God potions throughout the entire continent.”

 

“That sounds quite promising. I saw with my own eyes just how effective the Sun God’s potions are this time.”

 

Feliks exclaimed in admiration at my words.

 

“Then will you sell in the south through the Lumen Trading Guild too?”

 

“That’s right. We specified that part from when we first made the contract with Duke Sheary.”

 

“Well, Duke Sheary isn’t someone who would miss such an opportunity. Besides, the Sun God is renowned for healing power.”

 

Oh, the Sun God is an almost forgotten deity that most people don’t know much about.

 

As expected of a Crown Prince, he knows this level of information.

 

‘But the real reason I deliberately treated them only with potions is different.’

 

Potion sales are important, but there’s a much more important real reason.

 

It’s because I didn’t want to show my true abilities to Feliks and Carly who are right in front of me.

 

I’m a contract Holy Maiden who must step down when Idella appears.

 

Doing business and making money can be done without divine power, so I could make excuses that I worked hard to avoid being caught as a fake Holy Maiden, but healing power is different.

 

If I show off my abilities by using divine power too freely, it will be hard for Idella, who will appear later, to establish her position.

 

The person who will save the world is Idella, not me, and that absolutely cannot happen.

 

Especially since Feliks is the male protagonist who will be paired with Idella later.

 

I don’t know if they’ll be paired here too, but anyway, thinking of the future, it was better not to show my abilities to the Crown Prince.

 

The more he watches my activities, the greater the displeasure he’ll feel when my identity is revealed.

 

It would be troublesome if he thinks he was deceived by me, a fake Holy Maiden, and relations with the Sun God’s Main Temple become strained.

 

“Ah, and Crown Prince. The price for the favor you mentioned is sufficient at this level.”

 

I handed Feliks a paper with the amount written on it.

 

The payment for treating a total of 9 families, including the Fleu Family.

 

Of course, I received separate potion costs and treatment fees from each family, but that’s that and this is this.

 

When the wealthy Crown Prince wants to repay a favor, I can’t miss this opportunity, right?

 

“For reference, I only accept gold. You understand, right?”

 

I pressed the paper firmly into Feliks’s reluctant hands and smiled brightly.

 

“Ah, we’ve arrived. Thank you for bringing me. Then I’ll be waiting.”

 

I bowed to the dazed Feliks and Carly and energetically got off the carriage.

 

And I waved my hand toward the two people.

 

Soon the carriage departed with the two stunned people.

 

It seems they were surprised since I’m probably the first person to so openly ask the Crown Prince for money, but still, you’re kind so I wrote a reasonable amount.

 

Be grateful. If it had been someone like Count Kiris, I would have asked for a billion.

 

“Commander. Even I think I’m too kind.”

 

I sighed and spoke to Seth standing beside me.

 

“That’s right. Holy Maiden, you are kind to an excessive degree. Sometimes I think it would be okay to be a little less so.”

 

It was a joke, but how can you answer so seriously…

 

And saying I could be less kind. Don’t you even remember what happened with Ordel before…?

 

“If others hear those words, they’ll have a fit.”

 

“That’s impossible. Everyone from the Grand Temple would think the same as me.”

 

No, they wouldn’t. Only you think that.

 

The priests and Holy Knights listening to our conversation right now all have shocked expressions.

 

“The High Priest would be the same too.”

 

That’s not true either.

 

Airic is probably very happy about my changed appearance, right?

 

If I return to being the original Ordel, Airic would be the one to shed tears of blood more than anyone.

 

However, seeing his face so resolute it could deflect needles, it seemed pointless to argue.

 

Having too deep faith is also a problem. I wonder what will happen when Idella, the real Holy Maiden, appears later.

 

I could only hope the shock of betrayal wouldn’t be too great.

The Fleu couple brought out all the southern specialty foods for us who returned after finishing the treatments.

 

The southern food, which uses a lot of stimulating spices due to the heat, suited my Korean palate so well.

 

I was absolutely delighted by the spicy, salty, and sweet food I hadn’t had in a long time.

 

By the time I return to the Grand Temple, I’ll probably be much plumper.

 

I was already dissatisfied with being too thin, so I should eat heartily with this opportunity.

 

“Ah, that was so delicious.”

 

After finishing the satisfying meal and returning to the bedroom, I patted my full stomach.

 

“I also used to go to restaurants serving southern cuisine when I lived in the Eastern Region, but eating it locally is much more delicious.”

 

Monica’s face was also full of satisfaction.

 

“Ah, the Vice Guild Master is coming tonight.”

 

“Really?”

 

Jun Rudmin left for the Lumen Guild Southern Branch immediately upon arriving in the south.

 

She said there were many things to check since it had been a long time since she came personally.

 

She promised to come here as soon as she finished organizing.

 

“She finished in one day? That’s fast, as expected.”

 

There’s a reason Rute trusts her.

 

“Monica, you have the money we received from each family today, right?”

 

“Yes, here it is.”

 

Monica lined up 9 pouches on the table.

 

“Lady Fleu also paid for the potions we used yesterday.”

 

“She didn’t pay more, right?”

 

“No. I refused her attempt to give more and only took exactly what we should receive.”

 

“Good job. We’re already staying here for free, so there’s no need to take more.”

 

If it were somewhere else, I wouldn’t have bothered refusing and would have quietly taken it, but since we’re staying with the Fleu Family, it was right to only take the fair price.

 

“Set aside the cost of the potions we used this time, and distribute the rest to the priests who worked hard treating people. Include yourself too, Monica.”

 

Monica is still a Novice Priestess, but she was born with strong healing power and worked hard together with the others.

 

As soon as we return, I should suggest to Airic that he appoint Monica as an official priest.

 

“What? All of this?”

 

“Of course, since you used your divine power. That’s why I received the money in the first place.”

 

Even though she’s already seen through the potion production team that I reward people according to their abilities, she’s still this surprised.

 

“But not only us, the Holy Knights also worked hard treating with potions, and the attendants who came with us too…”

 

“I’ll pay them bonuses with the money I extorted from the Crown Prince. Don’t worry.”

 

“But Holy Maiden, you worked hard too!”

 

“All I did was show off and extort money while everyone else was sweating from treating people. What hardship did I endure?”

 

And don’t worry.

 

After giving everyone what they deserve, I’ll invest the remaining money in my divine power.

 

“So calculate this well and distribute it all. Got it?”

 

“Yes… I understand. I’ll divide it precisely. Don’t worry.”

 

Only then did Monica gather the pouches with a determined expression.

 

Knock knock.

 

“Holy Maiden. Vice-Governor Ludmin has arrived.”

 

At that moment, Victoria announced Jun’s arrival. I brightened up and told her to come in immediately.

 

“Welcome, Vice-Governor!”

 

I spread both arms wide toward her as she entered.
