Chapter 27. Hard work is important, hard work
After Iris and Kuern’s group left the temple in disgrace.
Only then did Noah pay his respects to his master.
“From now on, I, Noah Sinclair, will serve the Saint with my life.”
Though he managed his expression with effort, his heart pounded as if it would reach his throat.
Lillian.
So this woman was ultimately his master.
He had never seen such a perfect being before.
Selfless yet wise, and even brave.
Above all, the lily scent was so intense it made breathing difficult.
“Thank you, Knight Commander. I’m the one who should ask for your favor going forward… Ren.”
“…”
At that moment, Noah’s eyes looking up at Lillian turned cold.
Not because of the one he was pledging loyalty to.
“Why? Continue your greeting.”
It was because of what that mad dog of the imperial family standing behind Lillian was doing…
Evren was leaning his cheek against Lillian’s head and smiling.
But his eyes never blinked even once.
Though he whispered to Lillian in the sweetest voice in the world.
“Well done, Lilly.”
From his heart surged instinctive human hatred toward everyone in the temple.
‘But I can’t kill these people.’
Considering the dangers that would befall Lillian, it was better to have even one more dog to use.
Also, their ‘eyes’ and ‘hands’ had value when praising Lillian…
For those two things to function, humans needed to be alive and breathing – he mustn’t forget that.
“Since you have deep faith, I’m also pleased to have a yellow dog… no, a subordinate who can tell you temple prayer times.”
“Your Highness, the Commander isn’t someone who tells prayer times.”
“Really? Would there be anything more than an alarm clock for him to assist you with?”
Noah unconsciously gritted his teeth.
‘That unfunny bastard.’
Expressing his obsession with his whole body like murderous intent?
Meanwhile, Noah’s subordinate Holy Knights looked at him with pitying eyes.
‘He’s been rejected…’
‘A doomed love from the start…’
‘First love never works out, Commander.’
Shut up. Before I throw you all into the Creator God’s embrace!
Noah ground his teeth while rubbing his reddened nape.
He wouldn’t have such impure thoughts about the Saint he would serve with his life…!
Then the Grand Cleric spoke up.
“Saint. How about checking your compatibility with the Holy Knight Commander now?”
Evren frowned.
“My fiancée will be with me. You’re telling her to check compatibility with this guy?”
“Ah, please don’t take offense, Your Highness.”
The Grand Cleric tried to appease the prince.
“This is only to see if it’s efficient for the Commander to serve when Lady Lillian goes out on temple business…”
The prince couldn’t always wait right beside her for every ceremony for the Saint.
“Since another monster incident like this might occur, we need to organize escorts centered on knights who match well with the Saint.”
Lillian also soothed Evren.
“Your Highness, since we’re at the temple, let’s follow their words.”
“I don’t want to see my fiancée being any more affectionate with others than this.”
“…? What affection. You and The Shadows are my top priority.”
“…”
Evren eventually clicked his tongue.
He knew Lillian was just trying to appease him moderately, so why did he feel so good?
Meanwhile, Lillian wasn’t particularly worried until this point.
In the ‘original work,’ Noah never exceeded 90 with anyone. Even with the ‘original’ Iris, 80 was the maximum.
That’s because he was a man truly devoted to God.
However, when this procedure ended, the compatibility number with Noah was…
“90!”
“90?!”
“The Saint and the Commander-?”
The priests who were already calling Lillian the Saint were shocked.
90!?
For an individual to hear about a relationship exceeding 90 in their lifetime…
It was as rare as a distant relative of a commoner receiving a title and rising in status.
“With this number, the Saint and the-“
Gasp!
The excited Noah’s Seed hastily covered his mouth.
But those who heard could guess more than enough.
‘Imprinting.’
There had been… cases of a Saint and Holy Knight Commander forming an imprint…
‘Oh no, I made a mistake.’
Everyone in the temple had similar thoughts.
And they carefully looked back at the new Saint and the man standing beside her.
Lillian was biting her rolled lips and only looking up at the ceiling.
And the prince…
The prince was not smiling.
* * *
After being kicked out of the temple.
Iris returned to Tillard Manor in a state of complete mental breakdown.
‘Brother betrayed me.’
How could this happen.
Even the Grand Cleric, who should be wise, had insulted her.
For Lillian’s sake…
But when she returned, an even more shocking situation awaited her.
“Wh-what is this?”
Why are you taking my belongings out of my room!
Iris shouted at the maids.
“On whose orders are you doing this?”
“Huh? The, the young master contacted us…”
“What? What did you say?”
“He told us to quickly move Miss’s room-“
Her heart nearly stopped.
Iris ran down the corridor sobbing.
Kuern was still in the entrance hall.
“Brother, how could you do this to me?”
“….”
“Where are you planning to move my belongings!”
After cherishing me so much until now.
I’m already suffering from being scolded at the temple, so how can family treat each other like this?
Iris reached out her hand to Kuern, who wouldn’t look at her.
“Brother-? Ugh!”
Slap!
Kuern swatted away Iris’s hand as if it were filthy.
“Address me properly as Young Duke, you foolish thing.”
“What?”
“How dare a mere branch family member think they’re something in this house.”
“…!”
Kuern glared fiercely at Iris through his glasses.
“I was deceived by something like you and lost my real sister.”
His sister was truly the direct princess of Tillard, a saint, and a real treasure.
The appearance she showed at the temple looked more magnificent than anyone else’s.
Unlike Iris, who only knew how to whine at some point.
“Why should something like you use the residence meant for the direct women of this house?”
“But, but-!”
“Be grateful you’re being sent to the annex.”
In his rage, Kuern’s usual weak appearance was nowhere to be found.
After Kuern left coldly.
Iris collapsed right onto the floor.
The servants who witnessed the Young Duke’s fury didn’t approach Iris.
“Why….”
Why is this happening, really….
I should be the one becoming the saint….
Then. A voice like salvation that she had heard in despair came to mind.
‘Weren’t you a saint last time?’
‘But why are you in such a miserable state now?’
It was the voice of that demon she had heard in the temple prison.
“…That’s not a demon.”
Iris muttered blankly.
Right… A sacred divine beast must have been cursed.
That’s why it took on such a wicked appearance!
But even after becoming like that, it gave prophecies.
For poor Iris.
‘I am the saint…!’
Lillian is a false saint.
‘This is a trial the world is giving me.’
And a true princess wouldn’t succumb to such trials!
‘Then, first….’
That divine beast transformed into a demon.
She had to meet it again!
* * *
Not long after. The capital Meltant was turned upside down.
Newspaper boys frantically ran through the streets shouting.
“Extra, extra!”
“Central Temple’s breaking announcement! The saint has been selected as Lady Lillian, the miracle awakener!”
People on the streets competed to buy newspapers.
“As expected!”
“Wasn’t it called a legendary grade?”
“It was a secret existence known only to high priests…!”
“And I heard she defeated heretics.”
“Look at this article!”
…Heretics and demons dared to invade the Central Temple, which should be the most sacred land.
But our new saint saved the holy knights with sacred flames and control….
Ah!
What disaster would have occurred if she had not been there that day!
Marguerite scrapbooked the illustration of Lillian holding ‘sacred flames.’
What Lillian had held was a magic torch, so it was clearly misinformation.
But the castle people liked that article the most.
Duke Baltazar burst into hearty laughter while looking at the framed illustration.
“Ha, really! That spirit isn’t something that would come from those Butterfly folks! Worthy of this Enoch Baltazar’s grandson, no, grandson’s daughter-in-law.”
Yes. Everyone was happy about this and congratulated her.
Lillian also knew this wasn’t a bad choice in the current situation.
‘Belliel’s presence is being tracked, and measures will be taken.’
But….
Why was she now in the villain’s room.
Sitting face to face with Evren on a long chair.
‘The atmosphere is like my third company interview in my previous life….’
And I failed that one.
It was as serious an emergency as that time, no, even more serious than then.
“…Lillian.”
“Yes.”
It wasn’t even the atmosphere for the pet names this man used to pester her with, or informal speech.
“We are currently lacking in effort.”
The villain delivered a line that sounded like a real boss.
