116.

Lillian looked at Ramio’s affected areas with a numb heart.

‘How sad.’

Ah, it’s not that I’m sad because Ramio cried.

It’s sad that I don’t feel pity even when seeing a human in such a miserable state.

Lillian first placed her hand on the damaged foot.

‘Like using tweezers to extract the remnants of the demon inside the body.’

The Tillard Family knights who were watching whispered quietly.

“…Doesn’t that take a really long time?”

“Lady Iris is also S-rank, but-.”

Then Marguerite coughed loudly.

“Ahem! How can they be so uncultured! Do they think they’re real children just because they pestered the busy Miss like children?”

Marguerite, thank you. That was a good passive-aggressive attack.

Thanks to that, the noisy ones immediately quieted down.

‘The legs are done.’

However, when her hand touched Ramio’s right arm.

‘…?’

A blurry scene appeared before her eyes.

Herself in some barracks, and sitting across from her…

‘Sir Elias?’

But why is one wrist wrapped in bandages?

‘It’s not your fault. Lady Tillard.’

‘…But.’

‘It’s what your cousin did.’

Lillian flinched.

‘…What was that? What memory was that just now?’

But then Ramio flexed his hand, bringing her back to her senses.

“Am I really all healed- huh?”

“Huh? What do you mean huh?”

Lillian answered curtly.

She forcibly hid her racing heart due to that strange memory from earlier.

“I told you from the beginning that even if I heal you, you’ll only be able to hold a fork at best.”

So it didn’t mean she would heal all his fingers completely.

‘His appearance won’t return to perfect condition like before either.’

“Did you conveniently forget that demons invaded the temple because of you? Honestly, it was pure luck that no one died that day.”

“I didn’t forget, but-.”

“Take responsibility for what you did. And since you’re healed, you need to receive indefinite labor service at the temple first.”

Ramio looked at Lillian desperately.

But it’s useless.

Lillian gestured.

It meant for everyone except the villain to leave for a moment.

“Kuern told you to keep me confined to the manor, right? And Iris knows about this now too.”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

“Then pretend you’re still sick and go down to the manor for now.”

“What? Why? Wouldn’t it be better to announce that you healed me-?”

Lillian picked up a torch.

When it’s bothersome to explain, flamethrowing is the best.

Ramio, who had been hit by flamethrowing before, naturally screamed.

“Do as I instruct. No foolish actions.”

“Uh, ah, I understand.”

“And money.”

“Huh?”

“You’re going to leave after being treated by a saint for free?”

I charge the Tillards 1,000 gold for each treatment.

Softening up and going back on my word?

Yeah, that’s not happening.

“I don’t have money-.”

“Take out all of your inheritance in advance.”

“…Al, alright.”

* * *

Late at night.

Ramio and the Tillard knights left the Crown Prince’s castle.

But on the way, one knight grumbled sullenly.

“…Isn’t she being too harsh even though she became a saint?”

“What?”

“I mean, shouldn’t she have accepted our apology when Lord Ramio and we came with such a humble attitude?”

After treating Ramio, Lillian had refused the Tillard Family knights’ greetings.

‘I don’t need your apologies either. Just take Ramio and leave.’

“Don’t talk like an idiot.”

Ramio sharply scolded.

“There’s no one like Sister Lillian. The future of the Tillard Family depends only on Sister.”

“But-.”

“And you can’t talk nonsense here!”

He had experienced it, you see.

That experience of being thoroughly beaten down by the Crown Prince and his party…!

However, the disgruntled knight couldn’t come to his senses and grumbled.

“It’s not too late even now, Lord Ramio. Rather, Lady Iris again-.”

“Hey, hey! Shut up!”

But it was already too late.

The knight who mentioned Iris collapsed forward.

“Gah…!”

Ramio reflexively knelt down. The other knights immediately followed suit.

In the darkness lit only by a crescent moon, the Shadows including Jeanne were grinning wickedly.

“You were whining to our Miss and thinking of stabbing her in the back?”

“If you were going to do it, you should have at least tried to hide it. No sincerity, no effort.”

“This is why kids like these need a beating.”

And the Crown Prince, who had been staring intently without blinking even once while Lillian was treating, appeared.

Really, really scary…

“No matter how I think about it, my saint is too merciful.”

“Yes, yes…! Y-you’re absolutely right! Sister-.”

“Sister? Were you two that close? You’re not family.”

Seeing the unfocused eyes filled with jealousy, Ramio realized.

This person was really thinking of killing Ramio.

“N-no, Saint Lillian is the most merciful person in the world…!”

“Right, Ramio Tillard.”

Evren approached Ramio.

“So you’ll need to be useful to my Lillie.”

“Yes! Of, of course!”

Ramio recalled Lillian’s artifacts he had received before leaving.

‘Go to the manor and install these.’

He didn’t know why she had ordered it, but he would follow anything Lillian said. He would do his absolute best from now on!

He struggled to convey his harmlessness to the Crown Prince as well.

“A-and, I couldn’t tell you earlier! It seems Iris will have an engagement ceremony with the Second Prince.”

“Hmm.”

His expression showed he was truly uninterested.

Ramio felt like crying…

Because snowflakes were falling…

“I-it seems they’ll proceed faster than Your Highness the Crown Prince’s heresy pursuit start date. To steal attention from Your Highness… and the Saint!”

“…”

And at the story about stealing attention directed toward Lillian, Evren finally smiled with his eyes.

“Yes. That’s exactly the right attitude. Ramio Tillard.”

“Th-thank you-.”

“But there needs to be an example.”

At that moment, the knight who had been collapsed on the ground let out a death scream.

Ramio squeezed his eyes shut.

Ah, how did Sister Lillian really…

‘End up catching such a crazy bastard…’

* * *

After venting his jealousy to his heart’s content.

Evren returned to the garden where Lillian was.

“Ren, where did you go?”

“Yeah, I went for a brief night walk.”

Evren played completely innocent.

If he acted according to his destructive nature, Lillian might get disgusted and leave.

‘Lily said she likes gentle and gentlemanly people.’

He intended to put on an act with all his might.

“But you care for that cousin more than I thought.”

“Me? Who? You don’t mean Ramio?”

“Yeah. That trash.”

Don’t be kind to such a thing, he wished she would give that precious kindness only to him…

“I fixed him because we’ll need mobility for work going forward, Your Highness.”

“Hmm…”

“Ramio has the most straightforward personality in the Tillard Family. There are still many people who like that trait.”

He wasn’t particularly interested in such things.

He was just jealous that Lillian gave something like praise.

He asked sulkily.

“Then if I get hurt, you’ll do that much for me too? Saint.”

“Huh? For Ren, I would have put in even more care.”

“…”

Evren covered his mouth.

The feeling that his life was swayed by even those trivial words.

Evren carefully fidgeted with the ends of Lillian’s hair.

He had kissed her knees, palms, and cheeks, but even this light touch still made his heart feel like it would burst and was agonizing.

“Then have you really forgiven that bastard?”

“No, there’s no forgiveness. Even if he might be sincere now, I don’t believe it.”

“…”

“Ren. Now I prefer relationships where there’s nothing to be sorry about or apologize for in the first place.”

“…Even if they apologize in any way?”

“Yeah!”

“…”

…How could such a lovely yet cruel being exist?

He just gripped Lillian’s hand tightly, hiding his rising despair.

Damn it, at this rate, forget being loved, he wouldn’t even be able to receive forgiveness.

Thump, thump.

His face was smiling but his heart beat like drums of hell.

Then, Lillian, who had been walking holding hands, stopped.

“Huh?”

Lillian looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.

“Ren. What’s that thing in front of us? I’m not… seeing things, am I?”

“…”

“I can see the Palace Gate directly?”

Evren was also a bit surprised.

He had torn a hole in space.
