Chapter 27. Another Awakening
Lillian, who had been observing this situation, realized.
Among monsters, those that multiply like that must be eliminated all at once to be completely killed.
There was no way people who had never coordinated before would move simultaneously.
‘Everyone needs to move together…!’
“Ugh!”
The moment she had that intense thought, her head throbbed as if it would explode.
But all the Ability Users she had just seen used their abilities simultaneously.
“Huh!?”
“Whoa-!”
As if they were moving under some invisible control!
And Caspian was watching this from within Markus’s main body.
“…The bride has awakened another new ability.”
The woman who would steal away all the power of the House of Revenant.
An existence that must be killed.
Last time, he had managed to make her die, but realized too late that time had rewound.
But why…
‘She’s so dazzling I can’t look away.’
But while he couldn’t take his eyes off Lillian.
“…!”
Silent death descended upon Markus’s main body.
‘That Tarandia plunderer…’
The Eye of Annihilation devoured the monster in the blink of an eye.
Swords and ability weapons from all directions pointed toward Caspian.
Caspian looked around, then smiled in resignation and raised both hands.
“This is a fight I can’t win.”
Rather refreshingly declaring surrender, the watching Holy Knights roughly forced him to his knees.
Evren approached, carrying Lillian in his arms.
‘Goodbye, groom.’
Of course, there was no need for a groom who killed his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Lillian coldly sneered at her opponent. Even with a headache, she had to do what needed to be done.
“You have to pay for your own crimes, don’t you?”
And she raised her fist.
To eliminate that slippery ability first!
* * *
After the proclamation ceremony ended.
Lillian’s name appeared in newspapers day after day.
She was already globally infamous. Being exposed in newspapers wasn’t awkward.
Shining bright from the very first day of proclamation!
Capturing the leader of heretics!
Capturing the cunning one who infiltrated the Five Great Families…
‘Confetti blessed with the Saint’s power’ causes great sensation!
During the holy proclamation ceremony, people took the confetti that settled like a blessing…
“I will keep it as a family blessing for life.”
“I plan to put it in a crystal bottle and pray to it daily.”
The Central Temple urged people to “refrain from praying to things that are not official holy relics.”
It’s just surprising that even mere confetti is being treated as holy relics now.
‘I only did it because it was the easiest to make.’
The Saint proclamation ceremony was too rushed.
There wasn’t much time to create artifacts to help resist mind control.
‘Lily. If you make artifacts like Moon’s Blessing-.’
‘Ren, those are all handcrafted…’
‘Ah.’
‘Even hiring more craftsmen, we couldn’t meet the deadline before the coronation.’
‘To think the word “deadline” would come from a noble lady’s mouth.’
However, right now, Lillian, who was at the center of this situation, was curled up inside her blanket like a pill bug.
“Mmmmph…”
“Miss! Please lie down!”
“I’m already lying down, how can I lie down more…?”
“Just bury yourself completely in the blanket.”
“Good heavens.”
Marguerite is trying to bury me. Is this revenge for the previous prone position!
“My fever’s all gone now. Look, I’m perfectly fine.”
“Still, just in case! Who knows what strange ability that bastard used!”
The bastard Marguerite was referring to was Caspian.
‘Caspian Levernent.’
That man was now dragged away to the Imperial Palace.
He’s probably receiving the worst torture right now…
‘Really disgusting.’
Lillian rubbed her cheek with her fist as she recalled the memory.
That man was captured more obediently than expected.
‘It’s my defeat.’
He was incredibly relaxed, leaving behind the Bolivers who were fuming with betrayal and shame.
‘Acting dignified when he’s just a murderer.’
Marguerite showed her the next newspaper.
“And this! Look at this too, Miss.”
House of Boliver cleared of heresy charges!
Successfully cleared of suspicion through their actions at the Central Temple…
The Ducal House “expresses gratitude for the new Saint’s wisdom”
‘I was aiming for this too.’
She could have raided the House of Boliver and attacked that bastard.
But if done wrong, it might have looked like starting a territorial war ‘for no reason.’
After reading the article, Lillian lifted her head.
Actually, the room was now full of gift boxes.
True to a warrior family, they were all bladed weapons.
“So they sent gifts to Miss.”
“Yes.”
Until now, she had been too sick to accept any requests for visits.
“Marguerite, I really need to go out this afternoon now… I have to go to the Imperial Palace.”
“Just sweat it out a little more!”
“Ugh.”
* * *
After finishing sweating it out according to Marguerite’s folk remedy.
She set out for the Imperial Palace with Sir Jeanne and the Shadows.
“His Highness has been dealing with that guy the whole time.”
“Yes! His Highness is giving him a thorough beating, no, interrogating him before you meet him, Miss!”
How reassuring…
“But Sir. By any chance, on the day of the announcement ceremony, when you were dealing with that monster, didn’t anything strange happen?”
“By strange, you mean-?”
“Like your body suddenly moving on its own?”
The moment she urgently thought that the Ability Users needed to attack simultaneously.
Suddenly, she felt as if several people were connected to her by transparent threads.
As if she was controlling the movements of the Ability Users…
“…? Ah, come to think of it, it did feel like that when I coordinated with the others!”
“Really…?”
It was confirmed.
This ‘Infinite Wings’ grade seemed to have more diverse uses than expected.
‘But the ones who moved then were people I knew to some extent.’
It must be difficult if you’re not close to them.
‘Well, I shouldn’t use it carelessly because of the headaches and fever anyway.’
Lillian glanced at a place the carriage happened to be passing by.
It was the Empress’s Palace.
Was it her imagination? Only the sky above that place looked exceptionally gloomy.
Which was a very good thing.
Jeanne covered her mouth with one hand and whispered.
“Ahem. Actually Miss, the Second Empress’s side is in chaos right now.”
“Oh? Why?”
“According to rumors, it looks like she’ll have to take Iris Tillard as her daughter-in-law…”
“Oh ho.”
“She coveted you so openly, Miss, but it all came to nothing, so it’s enough to make her sick with anger and bedridden.”
Serves her right!
‘The Empress once had her eye on Iris as excellent daughter-in-law material.’
Life is truly unpredictable.
However, when they arrived in front of the Tower of Seclusion, Lillian couldn’t smile.
Well, given the location.
“…Young Duke Tillard?”
“Lillian… Saint.”
Because Kuern was waiting there with the Tillard family retainers.
What brings him here.
“Step aside, Young Duke. Unless you have business inside.”
Caspian was trapped in this tower where abilities were absorbed.
Don’t tell me Kuern suddenly developed curiosity about becoming a heresy inquisitor.
But Kuern hung his head weakly.
“Please help us.”
“Pardon?”
“The Tillard Family… desperately needs the Saint’s help.”
“It’s not free.”
“…”
The corner of Kuern’s mouth twitched.
No, did he really think she’d come help for free if he just spoke nicely?
“…You wouldn’t need money. In the current situation-.”
“I don’t accept help requests for less than 1,000 gold per day.”
His mouth twitched again.
He’s really trying hard.
