The Fortune Teller Saint

 

Chapter 41

 

“The Tower Master will be coming soon too. He’s been quite busy with other matters lately.”

 

“What other matters?”

 

“You remember the drug incident from before, right? That incident where the Mage Tower almost collapsed under false accusations.”

 

“Of course I remember. Back then Kail got caught up as a suspect and his face looked like a grape someone had chewed and spat out.”

 

At my words, Kail looked at me with slightly hurt eyes.

 

Then he cleared his throat and said.

 

“Anyway, he’s been quite busy lately investigating matters related to that incident.”

 

“Investigation? Wasn’t that drug incident concluded as the work of the former Duke Berno? What more investigation is needed?”

 

“I don’t really know the details either.”

 

I tilted my head in puzzlement.

 

That’s when Lucian spoke.

 

“Holy Lady, someone is coming up.”

 

At Lucian’s words, we held our breath and could sense someone’s presence approaching the room.

 

Thinking that we couldn’t be caught by anyone, Kail gathered his mana and said.

 

“I’ll come back when the Tower Master arrives. Until then, I’ll stay in the empty cabin in the northern forest, so if anything happens, come find me there.”

 

“Got it. Hurry and go.”

 

Kail’s figure disappeared. In the spot where Kail had been, only a small breeze blew gently as if to indicate he had been there.

 

At the same time, there was a knock and Cardinal Dail’s voice came from beyond the door.

 

“Saint Ellia, may I come in for a moment?”

 

“Just a moment!”

 

I pushed out the remaining mana in the room with my divine power and then opened the door.

 

Dale paused when he saw Robelina and Lucian behind me.

 

“Hmm? Holy Prelate Robelina is one thing, but Sir Lucian being with Saint Ellia too is quite unusual.”

 

“Sir Lucian helped me move my luggage. But what brings you here, Your Eminence?”

 

I quickly threw out a question before Dale could notice anything strange.

 

Fortunately, Dale didn’t seem to notice anything and answered my question with a gentle smile.

 

“The missionary event has been decided to proceed from tomorrow. The same goes for preparing the hunting competition ceremony. I came to tell you to rest well today.”

 

“That’s great! I was feeling like I was going to die from exhaustion anyway. Thank you for letting me know, Your Eminence.”

 

Dale smiled and returned to his room after telling me to rest well.

 

I waved at him with a smile, then shut the door firmly and turned around with a serious expression.

 

“You both heard, right? The missionary event starts tomorrow. So what do we do from now?”

 

“Are we going to search for traces of those trying to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince?”

 

Lucian asked seriously.

 

I shook my head and spoke.

 

“What we need to do is… rest for now!”

 

“…Pardon?”

 

“There are still four days left until the hunting competition anyway. Nein hasn’t arrived yet either, so it’s awkward for us to do anything on our own. So Sir Lucian, please rest for now too.”

 

Lucian stared at me intently.

 

Regardless, I was too tired and immediately lay down on the bed.

 

“Then I’m off to dreamland in search of happiness and peace. Farewell, everyone!”

 

“Sir Lucian, let’s head out too.”

 

“…”

 

Robelina took Lucian out with a small sigh. Lucian kept glancing at me until just before closing the door.

 

Finally alone in the room, I comfortably closed my eyes.

 

“I’m sleepy… I need to sleep quickly.”

 

Buzz-

 

I felt the tarot cards vibrating in my chest. But my consciousness was already half gone, so I couldn’t open my eyes again.

 

-Finally… me.

 

‘What did you say?’

 

Through my fading consciousness, I faintly heard someone’s murmuring.

 

Along with that, my consciousness was sucked somewhere.

 

***

 

“Saint, you have worked hard.”

 

‘Jacad’s voice? There’s no way Jacad would say such things to me?’

 

Startled, I opened my eyes wide and stood there in a daze.

 

Just before falling asleep, I had definitely been in the small room at the inn, but now I was standing in some splendid spacious room.

 

Moreover, I could see a familiar figure from behind.

 

With her gorgeous pink hair flowing long, I could tell it was Robelina just from her back view.

 

“Please don’t say such things, Your Highness. I’m happy that I can help Your Highness.”

 

‘Yeah. That’s definitely Robelina.’

 

As far as I knew, Robelina was the only pink-haired woman who could speak such pretty words.

 

As I quietly approached them, I stopped with a start.

 

It was because Jacad was lying on the bed.

 

And with bandages wrapped tightly around his chest at that.

 

‘Am I sleeping deeply? Have four days already passed and Jacad got injured as in the original story?’

 

Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case. Light gathered in Robelina’s hands and an elegant-looking water bottle appeared.

 

I could immediately tell what it was.

 

It was the sacred relic that Robelina used in the original story, the ‘Bottle of Healing’.

 

Moreover, seeing how they couldn’t see me even though I had come right up to them…

 

‘It’s a dream.’

 

No, rather than a dream, am I seeing the original story?

 

‘Seeing that Jacad is injured, is this after the hunting competition episode?’

 

While I was lost in thought, Jacad drank the holy water created by the sacred relic.

 

Just from that, I could see color returning to his face.

 

“Your power is always amazing to see. Thanks to you, my wounds have healed considerably.”

 

“Still, you mustn’t overexert yourself, Your Highness. Poison flows in the bodies of magical beasts. Since you were attacked by such a magical beast, even more caution is needed.”

 

‘Come to think of it, in the original story they also said Jacad was attacked by a magical beast.’

 

I followed the flow of conversation while recalling the original story’s content.

 

That’s when unexpected words flowed from Jacad’s mouth.

 

“It’s a bit frustrating. I’m already troubled enough by this curse, but now I have to delay work due to wounds from those bastards.”

 

“Your Highness…”

 

“If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have drunk the beverage those bastards offered me back then.”

 

‘Beverage? Weren’t those ‘bastards’ magical beasts?’

 

Did Jacad at this time also know that he was injured because of the 2nd Prince’s faction nobles?

 

Just as I was making that assumption.

 

Rumble-

 

“What the…?”

 

Suddenly the ground began to shake. No, more precisely, the space was being distorted.

 

Even in the midst of this, Jacad and Robelina continued their conversation comfortably as if they couldn’t feel anything.

 

“They are the bad ones, Your Highness. Your Highness is…”

 

“Thank you. Thanks to you…”

 

The sound of their conversation grew more and more distant.

 

I had finally gotten to see the original story content, so I couldn’t let it slip away like this. I hurriedly reached out to grab at least a bedpost.

 

But before I could do that, the floor I was standing on collapsed.

 

“No! Robelinaaaa!”

 

Was it my imagination?

 

Just before falling, it seemed like Robelina turned to look this way.

 

But I couldn’t confirm if it was real.

 

“Huh!”

 

It was because I had woken up from the dream.

 

Due to the shock of falling down in the dream, I bolted upright the moment I opened my eyes.

 

But as soon as I sat up, a headache struck me.

 

“Ugh, my head…”

 

What on earth was that dream? How was I able to see the original story’s content?

 

Various questions arose. And perhaps I had a clue that could solve those questions.

 

‘Tarot Cards.’

 

Sure enough.

 

I could feel warm divine power emanating from the Tarot Cards, as if an ability had just been activated.

 

‘This must be what showed me the original story’s content.’

 

Did it show me the original scene so I could resolve Jacad’s situation?

 

‘No, before that.’

 

I clenched both hands into fists and pressed firmly against my temples. My head had been aching since the moment I woke up, so I felt like I needed to massage it like this.

 

‘Is this the price for seeing the original story? My head hurts…’

 

Swoosh-

 

Just then, I sensed someone’s presence beside me.

 

I stopped massaging and turned my head in surprise. At that moment, a cool-textured hand came up to rest on my forehead.

 

“You have a fever.”

 

I heard a low murmuring voice. But I could tell who it was even before hearing the voice.

 

The owner of these long, cold fingers could only be Nein.
