78.
The temple bells were completely turned upside down at Lillian’s instructions.
The abandoned Tillard’s daughter had immediately identified the cause of the illness afflicting the most respected priest!
The Tillard family retainers who were watching this situation were also flustered.
To them, Lillian had once been a disposable existence.
But then.
“Did she know so much?”
“Priest’s disease, you say. Did she know artifact history?”
However, they composed their expressions when they saw Iris.
Iris smiled brightly.
But inside, she was truly rotting away.
“Sister Lillian is smarter than I thought. Right?”
The retainers were startled by Iris’s roundabout rebuke.
“Ahem!”
“N-no, Lady Iris.”
“It’s just trivial, very trivial knowledge.”
Kail simply frowned.
He had seen Lillian’s abilities were too outstanding to be called trivial so many times that it wasn’t even annoying anymore.
“Iris.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
“Among the luggage you brought, wasn’t there also an artifact for divine power users?”
“Yes!”
Iris smiled brightly.
“It’s a gold ring more suitable for the next High Priest.”
Lillian had done the design, but Iris had chosen it and infused it with power.
Therefore, it was Iris’s work.
But then, noisy sounds came from the temple corridor.
Iris’s eyes widened as she saw the source of the commotion.
‘It’s Sir Noah…!’
The beautiful holy knight produced by the temple!
He was a man as handsome as the Tarandia brothers.
Noah roughly ran his hands through his hair and shouted at the priests here.
“What is this about, why has the old man collapsed!”
“Th-that is, right now- an old artifact is causing problems-.”
“This is maddening. By any chance, a ring? Are you talking about a ring?”
“Yes, Sir Noah!”
“Hah.”
Noah immediately rushed to the area used as living quarters.
Being an adopted son, he could easily find where Ambrosio kept important items better than others.
“Ha, is this it?”
“Sir Noah!”
“…? Ah, you are.”
“May the Creator God’s blessing be with you. I’m Iris Tillard!”
“Yes, I know.”
Noah gave a simple bow.
He couldn’t not know the Tillard family’s daughter who always supported the Controller.
Iris’s heart pounded when the blonde man looked at her.
Such respectful treatment. It’s been so long!
Iris pointed to Noah’s clenched hand.
Because she knew the priest’s ring would be inside!
“That needs to be incinerated immediately.”
“This?”
“Yes! That artifact is making the priest sick because it’s worn out.”
She had to quickly end the situation before it reached Lillian’s ears!
Iris suppressed her desire to show off and commanded.
Lillian had done the analysis, but so what?
‘I know that much too!’
And that wooden artifact?
So tacky, really.
* * *
‘Damn it.’
Noah couldn’t contain his resentment and gritted his teeth.
His mind went completely blank when he heard that his adoptive father who raised him was sick.
‘He’s only suffered continuously. Was he relying only on such a worn-out artifact?’
The wooden ring sitting on his palm looked so ridiculous.
There should be limits to being frugal!
He was so angry that he, the knight commander, personally headed to the incineration site.
“Wait!”
Noah turned around.
The old man’s room had been strangely filled with lily scent earlier.
‘Was that this woman’s perfume smell?’
Lillian had followed him and was breathing roughly.
“You can’t incinerate that!”
“Who are you.”
“I’m Lillian, the Crown Prince’s fiancée-!”
“I’m not doing this because I don’t know who you are.”
Noah frowned deeply.
Lillian Tillard, the powerless one.
Rumors were rampant that she had no abilities compared to Iris and was endlessly extravagant.
Of course, he was a little surprised by how she immediately diagnosed and figured it out…
“Your sister said she’d handle it, so step aside.”
“Yes, Iris could solve it too. But the priest will be sad.”
“Hah. Having this only makes his health worse…!”
Lillian pulled out a torch from her bag.
Noah was startled.
It was the first time in his life he’d seen a torch come out of a woman’s bag.
“Let me try to fix it for a moment.”
“Wait a minute-.”
“Let’s not be in such a hurry. Let’s talk rationally.”
You’re the one who should do that?
* * *
When she heard that some blonde holy knight had turned the priest’s residence upside down to find the ring and disappeared.
Lillian felt a brief murderous impulse.
‘Everyone, scatter! Scatter and find him right now!’
She urgently shouted to Marguerite and the Shadows.
Of course, artifacts affecting his condition should be dealt with.
But who thought of the ignorant method of just getting rid of it outright?
‘I was really lucky to think of the temple incinerator.’
She didn’t even want to imagine what would have happened otherwise.
“How can you act so hastily?”
Lillian took the wooden ring and didn’t stop nagging.
“If someone’s arm hurts, do you burn it? No, you don’t. You should at least examine it, even if you have to make a small cut!”
“….”
“I thought you’d act more prudently as a Holy Knight, but what is this?”
Perhaps because she was angry, the words came pouring out.
Just in case, she had even borrowed a place at the temple to do workshop work there.
It almost became a waste of effort, but it survived.
“Ah, but.”
Lillian looked up at the man following her.
She had committed the rudeness of hastily threatening him with a torch, but since he obediently handed it over, she should at least greet him.
“What is your name?”
“…Noah Sinclair. I’m the Captain of the Holy Knight Order.”
“Ah… It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
He has the same name as the sub-male lead from the original work.
The temple’s mad dog, and later to become the ‘Saint’s guard dog’….
In other words, Iris’s guard dog….
“….”
Lillian closed her mouth. The gaze piercing the top of her head was very stinging.
Hah….
‘Right, the High Priest’s adopted son was the Captain of the Holy Knight Order.’
After the original story began in earnest.
Since Priest Ambrosio’s illness was much more critical at that time, Iris’s help became even more desperately needed.
‘It wasn’t just vitiligo like now, but a stage where his immune system was completely destroyed.’
It was natural that Noah pledged his loyalty to Iris, who cured him at that time.
‘I heard he wasn’t in this area right now.’
Lillian was also a creature of learning.
After being fooled by the villain once, she tried to track the movements of the original’s main and supporting characters as much as possible.
She thought he would go straight from the border to the capital….
And when they went to the place prepared as a workshop, the villain let out a laugh.
“How do you.”
It was a smile of utter disbelief.
“The flower really uproots itself from the ground and chases after the butterfly. Right?”
And that man really only spouts the most ridiculous nonsense.
