Episode 31

 

It was when Theresia looked down at Coco with an annoyed expression.

 

Chloe blocked Coco’s path and spoke indifferently.

 

“If you came to heal the Grand Prince, don’t pick fights and just go your way quietly.”

 

“How interesting.”

 

The way she’s protecting that little kid.

 

Theresia looked up at Chloe with a superior expression.

 

“Why is Sister near the annex? Just to throw a ball to this little kid? Or maybe.”

 

“….”

 

Theresia smiled softly and whispered in her ear.

 

“Are you curious about how I heal Grand Prince Rivera?”

 

“Your self-awareness is amazing. I have absolutely no interest in you.”

 

“Or maybe, Sister. Are you worried that I might display the amazing special ability that you don’t have?”

 

“You don’t make sense.”

 

Chloe looked back at Coco with an indifferent expression.

 

“Coco, get up. We need to go now.”

 

“Huh, but I haven’t finished throwing the ball yet….”

 

At the expression that seemed to say she wasn’t even worth answering, Theresia gritted her teeth.

 

‘But Chloe, what can you do now?’

 

Once, people feared Chloe while also revering her.

 

How many times had she been pushed to the sidelines because of that?

 

But now the situation had completely reversed.

 

Chloe was losing her special ability.

 

On the other hand, once she healed Grand Prince Rivera, what Theresia could gain would be enormous.

 

Marriage to the Grand Duke.

 

Hundreds of billions of gold or more.

 

Everyone’s praise.

 

And the status of saintess she would soon possess.

 

Everything in the world would become hers.

 

Theresia smiled broadly and entered the annex.

 

Today was the day she would perfectly heal Grand Prince Rivera.

 

* * *

 

Caligo sat quietly in the center of the Annex Temple.

 

Since the treatment began, his physical condition had been continuously deteriorating.

 

He stared silently into the air.

 

Last night, he had accidentally overheard numerous servants chattering.

 

“Yesterday, Lady Theresia got hurt while healing Lord Caligo.”

 

“And yet she still continues trying to save Lord Caligo. Lady Theresia really is… I think she might be a true saint.”

 

“…Right, how amazing must she be for the High Priests of the Temple to personally commend Lady Theresia?”

 

“Lord Caligo caused a disturbance, didn’t he? Honestly, it’s not right to say this about a child, but what… it’s not like he’s repaying kindness with enmity…”

 

Though he was in a position to be criticized by everyone, he thought it was natural.

 

‘Because someone got hurt again because of me.’

 

He lost his motivation and sat quietly.

 

Enduring the dizziness and waiting for several hours, the door finally opened.

 

It was Theresia Ardos.

 

“Today will be the last time we meet.”

 

The holy power user, Theresia Ardos, smiled gently despite his silent response.

 

“Because today you will definitely be healed.”

 

While he remained still.

 

Theresia forced a smile and placed her hand on him.

 

“Now, this is the final treatment. I will stop your ability rampage with my power.”

 

It was when Theresia’s pale light flowed along the back of his hand.

 

His stomach churned violently.

 

“…”

 

But if he gave up now…

 

Then this is….

“…On the verge of rampage.”

 

Theresia stared at the light scattering from her hands with a panicked expression.

 

The beige light flowing from her hands had grown beyond her control.

 

However, with a popping sound, the light was gradually pushed back.

 

The black darkness that had enveloped Caligo’s body slowly devoured her light.

 

“Wh, what…?”

 

The shadow beneath Caligo’s feet was growing enormous.

 

“Cough, cough…!”

 

Blood flowed from Caligo’s mouth.

 

Panicked, Theresia hesitated as she tried to stand up.

 

Theresia knew these symptoms all too well.

 

“…Precursor symptoms of rampage.”

 

She bit her nails and rolled her eyes.

 

‘No. This can’t happen.’

 

Why hadn’t she noticed until now?

 

‘…I was blinded by thoughts of proving my worth.’

 

If only Mother had been nearby, she might have stopped this.

 

But Mother was away at the Temple.

 

‘Damn it, my position as saint…!’

 

Theresia looked around with a panicked expression.

 

Thanks to Caligo’s Nanny dismissing everyone, there was no one around. Fortunately, even the old men from the Council of Elders who always followed them were absent.

 

Just then, Caligo stood up.

 

“You, get…away.”

 

“What?”

 

“If you stay near me, you’ll also be in danger… Get lost.”

 

As if hearing a fierce ringing in his ears, he covered them.

 

He glared at Theresia with piercing eyes before turning his back.

 

‘He looks like he’s about to die!’

 

Theresia hesitated as she tried to flee, then stopped.

 

She recalled her second plan.

 

Right, if I can’t succeed…

 

‘I was planning to use Chloe as a shield.’

 

Chloe Ardos.

 

Wasn’t she also experiencing ability rampage like Caligo?

 

If things went well, she might be able to get rid of Chloe with this opportunity.

 

‘Come to think of it, that damn brat was nearby.’

 

She whispered toward Caligo, who was staggering toward the doorway.

 

“West.”

 

Caligo’s bloodshot eyes stared at her.

 

“I’ll dismiss the Knight, so past the Mansion Wall, look to the west.”

 

“….”

 

“There will be someone who can help you. Go near that person, without fail.”

 

It was a voice that seemed to be brainwashing him.

 

Theresia whispered cunningly like a woman with a serpent’s tongue.

 

Caligo walked toward the outside with stumbling steps.

 

The moment he grasped the door handle.

 

Theresia felt relief and inwardly cheered with triumph.

 

Everything seemed to be going according to her plan.

 

But right at that moment.

 

Bang!

 

The door opened with a loud, dull noise.

 

In front of it stood a small, round little girl, Coco.

 

Then, Coco came running quickly as if charging headfirst.

 

“Grand Duke! Come here!”

 

Caligo’s distorted face cracked. He spat blood through his teeth and muttered.

 

“You… Why did you come in? You fool?”

 

“Huh? I’m not a fool!”

 

“I told you to get lost, so why do you keep…”

 

“Because I promised to come save you!”

 

Caligo stared at Coco.

 

Violet eyes sparkled brightly on her round face.

 

“…Why? Why are you looking at Coco like that?”

 

This little kid.

 

Says she came to save him…

 

Having heard the words ‘came to save’ worn thin countless times, he knew.

 

That this was the first time he was hearing a truthful voice.

 

This child really came to save him.

 

‘I’ve been treating her so coldly all this time.’

 

He had to admit that his eyes had unknowingly reddened.

 

But what could he do at this point?

 

He whispered softly.

 

“You said you came to save me.”

 

“Yes!”

 

He didn’t want to drag this spirited girl who knew nothing into hell.

 

Caligo roughly pushed Coco outside the door and muttered.

 

“…I don’t need it.”

 

The moment those words ended.

 

He felt dark shadows enveloping his entire body.

 

Bang! Crash!

 

Everyone heard the sound of mad fireworks in their ears.

 

Finally, the shadow that emerged from his feet spread enormously as if to engulf the entire annex.

 

It was a powerful rampage of his special ability.
