117.
The Main Palace filled with the brilliant lights of the banquet hall.
Just before the banquet began.
The protagonists of the day met in a resting room with a cold atmosphere.
Kail and Iris.
On the table between them lay today’s newspaper article.
Prince Kail Tarandia Perniers announces engagement with Lady Iris Tillard!
The two people who are ‘destined partners’ blessed by the Creator God…
“To support Lady Iris’s free external activities, we proceed with an engagement…”
Kail thrust that disgusting article toward Iris as if throwing it.
“Well, things went as you thought.”
“Thank you for trusting me, Your Highness.”
As Iris had said, Kail first made a grand announcement about holding an engagement ceremony.
“Since Prince Evren won the heresy tracking rights, there would originally be more articles about his expedition, but-“
“Yes, I know. You seem to want to act knowledgeable about just that much.”
Kail sneered.
It wasn’t only Kail who was cold.
‘I’ll appear at this occasion, but don’t you dare expect me to bless it, Iris Tillard.’
Even Empress Robellia was angry.
But Iris smiled cheerfully.
She could be as generous as she wanted.
Thinking about bringing divine punishment upon both of them later!
“Hehe. Oh my, I’m sorry.”
“Ha. And you want me to check on Ramio’s well-being in front of everyone.”
“Yes! You should pressure her saying it would be good if the Saint came back quickly.”
Iris giggled.
“If she refuses when her blood relative is sick, it wouldn’t be saintly. What would people think?”
“…”
“And then, Prince Evren would have to depart without the Saint.”
Iris had also staked everything on this matter and calculated diligently!
‘It takes more than three days to get from the Empire to Calimore, right?’
Since they had to cross the strait.
However.
“It would also be strange for the Crown Prince to wait unnecessarily. It would make him look like he can’t do anything alone.”
Since Lillian had already told him everything about where to look!
“If something happens to the Saint in the meantime, Your Highness can provide support.”
In the meantime, a ‘rift’ would burst at Tillard Manor, so naturally she would receive Kail’s support.
‘I cast a spell on Ramio to create a rift…’
It was exactly the method she learned through Belliel.
‘To burst when Lillian joins!’
Tillard Manor and Ramio would suffer damage, but-
So what?
Later, Iris would reclaim the Saint position and treat them better.
Only then did Kail nod his head.
“Finally you’re having a useful thought, Iris.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Then let’s go out.”
Since people were waiting in the banquet hall.
Iris smiled confidently.
Indeed, if you endure through harsh trials, blessings come to the protagonist!
Although Iris could no longer go to the Temple, the banquet hall was bustling.
Because there were fewer people than expected who wanted to pour cold water on a good day.
“Congratulations, Prince Kail. May the Creator God’s protection be eternal…”
“Lady Iris. You are truly beautiful.”
Iris lowered her eyebrows wistfully.
“Thank you all. Even though I committed rudeness at the Saint’s event…”
The noblewomen glanced at each other sideways.
They hadn’t expected Iris to bring up that topic first.
It was a response that seemed innocent yet clever.
“Ahem, what are you saying.”
“I was too foolish. To do such a foolish thing because I admired my sister too much.”
“Ah…”
“I intend to apologize today without fail.”
The ladies’ expressions changed slightly.
Iris smiled crookedly.
‘Look at this. Swaying people’s mood is this easy.’
They act like they’ll devour you over even small mistakes.
Even though Lillian was in the wrong, they believe it again when Iris just pretends to reflect.
Just then, the banquet hall doors opened.
Without hearing the Homing Officer’s announcement, they could tell who had arrived.
Because it was the person these people had been waiting for most of all.
“My goodness!”
“Why is the Saint dressed like that?”
See that.
Iris swallowed her laughter inwardly.
People make a fuss over even the smallest things like flipping their palms!
‘Did you dress up very lavishly because you’re coming to the banquet, Lillian?’
In contrast, she had handled this very wisely.
To cover up the last ‘white dress’ incident, she wore pure yet modest attire.
‘People make comparisons based on what they see. If Lillian makes a mistake this time, her fault will look bigger!’
Iris smiled ambitiously.
But Lillian was…
“…!?”
Wearing a dazzling Holy Knight uniform!
* * *
Lillian looked at Iris’s dazed face and smiled.
‘You put a lot of effort into this too.’
It was preparation exactly according to high society standards.
‘Making attention go to them, trying to tear apart me and the villain.’
But hadn’t she learned long ago.
When humans act slightly crazy, many things become easier.
Like coming to a party with the villain in a black uniform and herself in Temple knight attire.
“Congratulations on being united with your destined partner, Prince Kail.”
She offered congratulations first.
But the Original Male Lead looked at Lillian with resentful eyes and reddened his face.
Has he gone mad…
“What is… what kind of attire is this, Saint.”
“As you can see, it’s knight attire. I didn’t want to wear a dress today.”
A uniform is also formal wear, you know.
But why are you only acting this way toward me?
Of course, there’s a reason for dressing like this.
“To pray for your beautiful future together, Crown Prince and I are about to leave to catch the heretics. We’ve contacted the Holy Knights as well.”
“But, Sister Lillian!”
Iris cried out breathlessly.
“You have to save Ramio. Ramio is waiting for you at the manor right now-. Only the Saint can save him!”
“Oh my! There’s no need to worry about that.”
Lillian smiled brightly.
If she’s going to worry about her brother that much, she shouldn’t have put him in danger in the first place.
‘I don’t have any affection for Ramio either.’
Using her own brother as bait and planning to deceive Lillian too – isn’t that ridiculous?
Her acting skills were top-notch, befitting Tillard blood.
But Lillian prided herself on being quite shameless too.
“I found a way to get to the manor immediately if something happens.”
“What? That’s impossible-“
“Right, Our Highness Evren?”
Lillian looked toward the Villain.
Snap!
When the Villain snapped his fingers, a long vertical crack appeared in the middle of the banquet hall.
Everyone looked like they’d been hit hard on the back of the head.
It’s okay. Lillian understands.
She was surprised too when the Villain suddenly fulfilled the dream of everyone who commutes in this world.
‘The S-rank Ability User has evolved.’
‘Ren! Can you maintain this crack continuously? How many people can enter?’
‘Should I keep trying? Do you like it?’
‘Yes! It’s really amazing…!’
It was even more stable when she praised him.
And after several experiments, she was certain.
If he knows the exact coordinates of where to go, this man can ‘annihilate’ the gap between spaces-.
‘He can go directly to the place he wants to reach!’
The Original Male Lead breathed in roughly.
“H-how is this possible…?”
The Villain smiled sweetly with his eyes.
“When I work hard for my precious fiancée, I became able to do this. So you should work hard too, Kail.”
“Hohoho, Our Highness really.”
Lillian lightly smacked the Villain’s arm.
The Villain’s skill at sweet-talking had really improved by leaps and bounds.
“As you can see! If anything happens, we can dispatch from Calimore to Tillard Manor anytime.”
I’ve already set up countermeasures at the manor too.
So whatever scheme you’ve plotted is all useless.
“Then we’ll gladly go catch heretics for the Empire’s eternal glory and peace. Everyone here-.”
Lillian glanced around.
And smiled brightly.
“Yes, I hope you have a pleasant party. The Saint sends her blessings before leaving.”
