Chapter 226

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Only after all the Holy Knights were deployed could the Great Temple subdue all the monsters.

 

The Great Temple provided medical care and shelter to the shocked distinguished guests along with cleanup efforts.

 

Not only the nobles of the Briyang Empire, but also major delegations from various countries wanted to leave immediately, but too many people were injured.

 

When they even brought up the possibility of infectious diseases, the distinguished guests couldn’t leave the temple right away.

 

It would be a disaster if there really was some kind of contagious poison in the monsters’ wounds.

 

“So what exactly is the identity of those monsters?”

 

At that question, the High Priest glanced at Lisian. Having changed his clothes, he didn’t look like the knight who had just been swinging his sword and cutting down monsters.

 

He was simply sitting there as always, like the archangel from the sacred paintings that the High Priests admired.

 

“We call them Creatures.”

 

“Creatures.”

 

Marquis Aster Frazier frowned.

 

Every conversation he was hearing now would be recorded and delivered to the Grand Duke. It wasn’t just them in this place. Major figures were sitting in large numbers, questioning the High Priests.

 

“They’re a kind of monster created by the fanatics. The Great Temple has been secretly investigating them continuously…”

 

“Why did you investigate them secretly?”

 

The High Priest’s eyes twitched slightly. But he soon looked at the person who asked the question and made a sad expression again.

 

It was because the one who spoke was the Crown Prince.

 

Ferdinand Cassel Evichkait.

 

He wasn’t injured at all. Just a few scratches on his neck and shoulders. Even those were said to have happened while protecting Coriko.

 

The Great Temple had opposed Ferdinand going from battlefield to battlefield. But it was true that thanks to that experience, Ferdinand survived today…

 

“The existence of fanatics makes the hearts of the continent’s people unstable, Your Highness. That’s why we investigated them secretly.”

 

“High Priest.”

 

Then, Marquis Aster asked.

 

“What exactly is the god that the fanatics believe in?”

 

Frazier had been independently and secretly investigating the fanatics. So he absolutely couldn’t miss this. This opportunity to hear the fanatics’ secrets obtained by the temple.

 

“We don’t know that much either. But we never imagined they would attack like this today. We think they heard the information and infiltrated the monsters because the Saint and His Highness the Crown Prince came to the Great Temple together.”

 

The Marquis frowned.

 

“Is Coriko alright?”

 

He still hadn’t properly confirmed Coriko’s face.

 

“The Saint is safe. However, she was very shocked, so the priests are helping her calm down. And she said she wanted to express her gratitude to Your Highness…”

 

“That’s enough.”

 

Ferdinand, who cut off the High Priest’s words in a blunt tone, stood up from his seat and walked out.

 

“High Priest. His Highness looks quite pale – could there be more injuries?”

 

“Just in case, have a doctor examine him once more…”

 

The priests’ discussion continued. The nobles and royalty who were present returned to their assigned quarters.

 

Marquis Aster walked down the long corridor with Lisian and said bluntly.

 

“He was twitching.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Lisian answered concisely. After that, the father and son didn’t open their mouths even once.

 

However, Lisian could tell what his father wanted to say.

 

‘There’s a lot he’s hiding.’

 

When asked about the name of the god the fanatics worship, he definitely twitched his right eye slightly.

 

Marquis Aster, who had guarded the border for a long time, knew. The fact that the High Priest was lying.

 

The Great Temple already knew what the identity of the god the fanatics worship was. Yet the reason for deliberately hiding it was…

 

“I should go see our daughter again.”

 

Come to think of it, one person was missing. Marquis Aster frowned.

 

“Where did that Leon boy go? Don’t tell me he died or was seriously injured?”

 

“Leon is.”

 

Lisian answered calmly.

 

“He went to Tulia… fi-first.”

 

“…”

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

“Then rest well, Grand Duchess.”

 

“If you need anything, please pull the bell rope anytime.”

 

“Yes.”

 

After the priests left, I flopped down on the bed.

 

As they said, the bedroom assigned to me was really spacious and nice. This was comparable to my bedroom in the Imperial Capital.

 

Among the distinguished guests who came today, even Father and the twins’ bedrooms, who had the highest rank, weren’t as good as mine.

 

‘Because I’m Coriko’s cousin sister, they’re giving me the best room?’

 

Yet I didn’t even get to see that Coriko properly today.

 

I heard she was very shocked and the priests were clinging to her to take care of her.

 

When I heard that, I was dumbfounded.

 

‘One was protected by one of the Male Leads who’s good with swords. The other trembled in front of corpses, then gritted her teeth and ran away before being rescued by a Male Lead.’

 

Shouldn’t the latter obviously be the one trembling with mental instability right now?

 

Probably because she’s a saint, the priests’ discrimination was extremely severe.

 

‘Could there be something hidden in this bedroom too?’

 

Anyway, I became the villain and I even gave her the name Coriko.

 

Originally, the purpose was to kill me.

 

Isn’t now the perfect time for me to be eliminated if they make a move?

 

Still worried, I got up from my seat.

 

“I’ll just sleep with Father!”

 

Why should I tremble in fear! I’ll just call Father and both twins so the four of us can sleep together!

 

If someone attacks, Leon can catch them, then Father can catch the next ones, and I can run away with Lisian!

 

I cheerfully grabbed a shawl to put over my pajamas. And when I also grabbed my pillow and opened the door wide.

 

“…?!”

 

I gasped.

 

A small height that came down to below my chest.

 

Cocoa-colored hair that I always thought looked sweet and strawberry jam-like eyes… that belonged to.

 

A boy with clean and cold beauty.

 

“Your Highness?”

 

Why did you get shorter?

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

“High Priest. He’s stopped breathing.”

 

“Tsk. Useless thing…”

 

The High Priest stood up from his seat. The priest who had just died from extreme torture was none other than the priest who had told Lisian the name ‘Creature.’

 

“Dispose of him.”

 

“Yes, High Priest.”

 

The High Priest asked as he walked out.

 

“What about His Highness the Crown Prince?”

 

“The physician said there are no other injuries.”

 

“Hmm… Then it really seems like he was just startled from using too much energy. Ah, but why did His Highness give his bedroom to the Grand Duke Frazier’s daughter?”

 

“We don’t know the exact reason either, but we heard that His Highness the Crown Prince once proposed to that young lady…”

 

“Well, he is of age to find a woman.”

 

It was something that should never be spoken in the ascetic and noble Grand Temple.

 

But the High Priest was merely indifferent. His attitude was no different from someone who had just thrown a toy.

 

“I understand. Don’t worry about it anymore and don’t send anyone to that building. His Highness should do as he pleases.”

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

“Where were you trying to go?”

 

“To Father’s bedroom. But why did Your Highness become small?”

 

“Don’t go.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

Ferdinand left only those words and walked straight into my bedroom. I stared at his retreating figure in bewilderment.

 

“Excuse me, Your Highness?”

 

“What?”

 

“This is my bedroom.”

 

“The bed is wide. Five people could sleep together on it.”

 

“Wait, you’re even suggesting we sleep together?”

 

Ferdinand nodded. I was even more flustered and lost for words at the glimpse of skin visible between his loose robe.

 

Meanwhile, Ferdinand naturally looked around the bedroom. His familiar manner made it seem like his own bedroom.

 

“Your Highness.”

 

I closed the bedroom door and came in.

 

“Why did you become young again?”

 

“Young Lady stole my divine power, so this happened.”

 

“What? That’s ridiculous…”

 

‘…Could it be you, Kim Ddongbyeol?’

 

Ever since I opened my eyes as Tulia, all the strange phenomena had been related to that guy…

 

I wanted to grab Kim Ddongbyeol and shake him for answers right away, but Ferdinand was sitting on the bed looking up at me intently.

 

“My neck hurts, so sit down.”

 

“Yes.”

 

I sat down next to Ferdinand and asked again.

 

“Then Your Highness, will you stay young like this?”

 

I’ve never seen this kind of story even in ?

 

Fortunately, Ferdinand shook his head.

 

“It’s a side effect of suddenly having my divine power stolen by Young Lady. I don’t know the details beyond that either.”

 

“How can you not know the details about your own body?”

 

“When Young Lady catches a cold, do you immediately know what caused it?”

 

“That’s true.”

 

I was instantly convinced.

 

“Then what do we do? Please take your divine power back quickly.”

 

“That’s why I came here.”

 

“At this late hour of the night? I understand. Then how do we…”

 

Suddenly, countless monsters and young sacrifices offered before altars flashed through my mind.

 

I slowly backed away and asked.

 

“Do I need to be offered as a sacrifice?”

 

I still had my protection barrier left, though it was half-torn and tattered with half durability remaining…!

 

But the boy Ferdinand immediately frowned.

 

“What exactly do you think I am, Young Lady?”

 

“I was just wondering. I’m sorry if not.”

 

“If you’re sorry, why do you keep moving away? Come closer.”

 

C-come closer?
