The Fortune Teller Saint

Chapter 11

“Hmm.”

I peeked my head out from behind the wall to look at the tent where the holy knights were gathered.

I could feel people passing by glancing at me.

Right now I was wearing a robe pulled over my body. I had prepared it because I didn’t want to be recognized as the Saint and draw attention when I went to the nearby village.

Of course this might look suspicious in its own way… but it’s better than being recognized as the Saint and having people swarm me!

‘By the way, I want to call Lucian aside…’

I don’t see him.

I was rolling my eyes around looking for the handsome man with flashy looks.

“Who might you be looking for so intently?”

“…!”

My body froze at the presence I felt right behind me.

‘A suspicious person? When did they approach?’

I hadn’t noticed their presence at all. Thinking this wasn’t an ordinary person, I secretly swallowed, and the suspicious person continued speaking.

“If you have to hide your identity like this, it must be someone you need to meet secretly?”

‘They know I’m the Saint?’

Cold sweat ran down. It seemed like someone who came with a plan.

I was wondering if I should shout loudly right now to call the holy knights.

“If it’s someone the Saint needs to meet secretly, then surely…”

Gulp-

“Is it me?”

“…What?”

“Haha.”

The voice tone seemed to rise, then I heard a familiar laugh.

‘No way.’

I quickly turned my head to check the identity of the suspicious person.

Nain was looking at me with a bright smile, his eyes crinkling.

“Hello? We meet again?”

“No… hah.”

My legs gave out and I almost slumped down… but that didn’t happen thanks to Nain supporting me.

But instead of expressing gratitude, I glared at Nain with narrowed eyes.

“You scared me! I thought some suspicious person had appeared.”

“When people from the Temple are spread all over the village, what suspicious person?”

“That just shows how suspicious your prank was, Nain. No, but wait a minute.”

I looked up at Nain with a shocked face while he had a calm expression.

“As you said, the area is full of Temple people, so what are you doing here?”

Civilians didn’t particularly discriminate against mages so it didn’t matter, but the priests were different.

Because they consider mages heretics.

When I asked while looking around cautiously, Nain tilted his head.

“Why? It’s not like I came somewhere I shouldn’t be.”

“That’s true, but… the Temple won’t like it!”

“Do I care? And originally, you guys came to where I was? I was in this village first.”

“Th-that’s… If that’s the case, I have nothing to say…”

As I mumbled and trailed off, Nain tilted his head to the side with a “hmm.”

“But judging by your reaction, it seems you didn’t come looking for me.”

“Yes. Unfortunately, not today.”

“Then did you come looking for that guy?”

“What?”

Whoosh-

With the sound of cutting through air, Nain’s form collapsed. No, should I say it scattered?

And a sword was cutting through the center of it. Seeing this scene right before my eyes, I could clearly see the person holding the sword.

‘Blonde hair.’

And the handsome man with flashy features I was looking for.

When I met those blue eyes reminiscent of aquamarine, I instinctively knew.

That this person was Lucian, whom I had been looking for.

‘But why is Lucian coming out from here?’

I was looking at Lucian with confused eyes when he suddenly stood with his back to me. In front of Lucian stood Nain, who had instantly hidden himself.

‘Huh? Wait. This formation…’

No matter how I look at it, it seems like Lucian is protecting me from Nain?

“Are you alright?”

“What?”

I snapped to attention at the question that came flying.

Lucian was asking me while keeping his gaze fixed on Nain.

“Did that mage cause you any harm, Saint?”

“Harm?”

Nain tilted his head crookedly.

The fact that the smile disappeared from Nain’s face, who usually maintained a smile, meant his mood was very bad right now.

Worried that things might escalate uncontrollably, I hastily stopped Lucian.

“Nothing like that happened! That mage is my friend. So please put away your sword.”

“Friend…?”

Lucian hesitated and muttered quietly.

I nodded my head earnestly and said once more.

“Please put away your sword, Sir Lucian. I’m asking you once again.”

“…”

Lucian obediently put away his sword.

His eyes were so indifferent that I couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but it seemed he just let it pass for now at my request as the Saint.

Still, I breathed a sigh of relief thinking I had overcome the major crisis.

But perhaps Lucian’s words still left a bitter taste, as Nain spoke in a displeased voice.

“Is this bastard the guy you were looking for?”

“You were looking for me?”

Lucian looked back with puzzled eyes.

I quickly came to my senses and nodded.

“Ah, that’s right! I wanted to ask for an escort.”

“What kind of escort do you mean?”

“I have business in the nearby village and want to go there, but our group is just three women including me. One of them is still a child too.”

“But the missionary event…”

“It’s fine. His Eminence Cardinal Dale agreed to take care of it.”

When I casually threw Dale under the bus, Lucian nodded.

“I see. Understood. Then my knights and I will escort…”

“What? You should have said so, Saint.”

Nain interrupted the conversation.

When I looked at him with puzzled eyes, Nain materialized mana at his fingertips and spun it around.

“I can take care of it.”

“You, Nain? How?”

“How? Did you already forget who I am?”

Nain stepped forward. He reached out his hand fast enough that Lucian couldn’t stop him and grabbed my hand.

And my view changed.

“Huh?”

“Saint!”

Lucian was looking up at me from below. I, who had somehow ended up standing on the roof, looked down at him with bewildered eyes.

‘Spatial teleportation magic?’

“I can teleport the Saint’s party directly to the nearby village. Then you won’t need an escort either.”

I turned my head to look at Nine.

Nine curved his purple eyes seductively and whispered in my ear.

“So come with me, Saint. Hmm?”

“Nine….”

I looked at Nine with wavering eyes and asked.

“Are you going this far just because you want to mess with Sir Lucian?”

“Oh, you caught me?”

Nine wasn’t flustered at all and instead smiled brightly.

I let out a deep sigh.

“Put me down. At this rate, other Holy Knights will come rushing over too.”

“Sure, whatever.”

Nine shrugged his shoulders and in the blink of an eye, teleported back next to Lucian.

As soon as I came down, Lucian grabbed me firmly and glared at Nine intently.

“Should I consider this a provocation against the Temple?”

“You’re talking as if I did something I shouldn’t have?”

Crackle—

It felt like electricity was flowing between the two of them.

At first glance, it looked like they were having a lovers’ quarrel with me in between….

‘Yeah. No. They just don’t like each other.’

I repeated that in my head and sighed.

“Both of you stop it and listen to what I have to say.”

Both their gazes turned toward me. Fortunately, they didn’t send me those sparking glares.

I spoke seriously to them as they quieted down.

“I’ve been thinking about this.”

***

“Are you really planning to go with just this group?”

Lucian asked.

I nodded and looked over our party. Me, Lucian, Nine, Robelina, and the child who had requested counseling from me.

If we wanted to travel quietly, the fewer people the better.

“Nine said he’d help us. With Nine’s spatial teleportation magic, we won’t need escorts during travel, so this group should be sufficient.”

“I still find it unreliable.”

Lucian glanced at Nine with disapproving eyes.

Then Nine smiled brightly and said.

“Then I could just drop out?”

“…Still, it’s the Saint’s decision, so I’ll follow it.”

I was inwardly impressed. Was that Lucian’s way of navigating situations?

On the other hand, Nine seemed displeased with Lucian’s reaction and snorted.

“Oh right, you two are meeting for the first time, aren’t you? This is my Sungbongwan, Robelina. Sungbongwan Robelina, this is Sir Lucian, the captain of the 1st Holy Knight Order.”

I introduced the two to each other while hiding my excitement.

The gazes of male lead candidate Lucian and female lead Robelina met in the air.
