“Ah!”
“—Give me your hand.”
While healing Heim’s finger, I couldn’t help but think that I could use divine magic again. I still have a lot of wounds on my body, so I’m still healing, but the more I use it, the better it gets.
What kind of saint is this? I sighed.
“This is great.”
“About what?”
“I’m talking about something I don’t know.” Heim smiled as he flipped his light blue hair over. “I was actually worried. Because of what happened to my sister, I’m afraid I’ll never see you again.”
“You’re better than Niel.” I replied grumblingly. “Niel didn’t seem to understand. He was just fooling around and came to see what was going on.”
Heim tilted his head. “Do you believe my brother’s words can be taken seriously?”
“No. Because it is infinitely light, there is nothing left.”
“Of course, you are aware. Consider that everything my brother says is meaningless except for magic.”
“That’s correct. That’s the type of person he is.”
I agree very well, and Heim only gave a mysterious smile.

Ixion arrived later that evening. Perhaps he looked better today because he took a break. When I ran into him, my entire body felt unusually warm. My body temperature, which he was hugging, came to mind the moment I stepped out of the cave. Of course, since he came out alive alone, I thought he’d coolly forget about me, saying, ‘Elsia is still there, and she’ll probably die.’
But I never imagined he’d be looking for me so desperately. According to the Knights, he slaughtered everything without sleep— Of course, I was moved and flinched at the same time when I heard the word “slaughter.”
“You haven’t gotten much better yet—.”
Ixion looked at my wounds with sad eyes after a simple greeting. I smiled awkwardly as my face became hotter.
“Well, it was only a few days of self-treatment.”
To be honest, when they said he was looking for me like a madman, I had a strange feeling. Because I’ve never seen anyone so desperate in my life. Even in my previous life, when I was barely independent after becoming an adult, and in this life, when I was betrayed by my only brother and country the moment I was possessed. I honestly didn’t think anyone would be concerned about me while I was in this world.
I thought Ixion felt a little guilty, but wouldn’t it have been a burden on his heart if the child he was trying to monitor in the first place died inevitably?
“But—I will send the best medical staff the Knights have. Then you’ll improve much more quickly. Please don’t turn it down because we’re fine.”
“I’m fine, so I’ll say no.” I replied with a vain smile.
‘Where! If it isn’t my wounds right now, I have no place to use divine magic—?’
“Elsia.”
“Yes.”
He gave me a quiet look in the eyes.
‘Don’t do it.’
I’m not sure why my heart is pounding.
‘This isn’t my heart. It’s Elsia’s heart. I suppose my body is reacting to it. I’m going crazy.’
I suddenly remembered the moment he hugged me, and my entire body became hot.
“Are you uncomfortable with me?”
“It’s not like that. Not—”
“—Have you decided whether you’ll be with me or with Niel?”
“Uhm—. No, not yet. Do I have to make a decision right now?”
‘I’m still pretty good right? There’s no need to choose just one watcher from now on, right?’
Of course, it would be better to die at Niel’s hand than to see Ixion’s rough side, but Niel didn’t seem to kill me at once. I was hesitant to entrust anything to him after seeing that he wasn’t particularly interested when I disappeared that time. But I despised showing Ixion how I had transformed into a monster.
‘Ah, I really can’t decide.’
But I figured I didn’t have to make a decision right away because I’m still a long way away. When I gave him a puzzled look, he shook his head.
“No, of course not. It is entirely up to you. I can wait forever—”
“Ah.”
“But I’m concerned that staying next to you will be uncomfortable. I don’t like it, and I’m afraid it will be a burden for you.”
“Ah, that’s not true.”
I jumped. In fact, I didn’t really hate him, and as they wandered around in the cave together, they became quite close.
“How can I hate the Prince and feel pressured? I don’t mind as long as you don’t ask me to marry you all of a sudden. I enjoyed riding Isith with you and talking about various topics.”
“Yes, I was hasty in making my proposal. I had no idea you’d change your mind.”
Elsia may have been so excited in the past that she had trouble breathing when she received the proposal.
I nodded bitterly.
He smiled with rather sad eyes.
“I’ll try again from the beginning. If you don’t feel pressured.”
“Ah—Yes.”
“And now I have a lot of things I really want to know.”
“About what?”
“About you, Elsia. Actually, I’ve been thinking about you all day.”
‘Me?’
I felt something tickling, so I unconsciously patted the White on the cushion. It was because stroking White’s fur just calmed my mind.
“Yes, for example?”
“Well, your favorite food… or your childhood memories… anything about you. For example, um…”
He looked at my nervously trembling hands and White’s squinting eyes.
“The purification of the monsters— I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
‘Is this the main point!’
I stopped breathing for a moment.
“I’d like to know if you, who were not attacked by the monsters, have a real relationship with the saint that everyone is talking about—”
“Ah, that’s.”
“Because it’s all about you.”
‘Is this a joke? After all, it’s about the monster again!’
My slightly fluttering heart had calmed down when I heard the word “monster.” As Niel mentioned, my body was already severely damaged, but I had completely forgotten about it while standing guard in front of Ixion. It appeared to have lost objectivity as memories were overlaid one by one as a result of various events.
‘Can I turn the doubt into certainty?’
I replied with a smile.
“We have plenty of time. Let’s get to know each other step by step. It’s not fun to tell you everything at once.”
“I see.”
‘Huh? Why do you look so happy?’
He smiled and rested his chin. “You agreed to see me often, too, for a long time, didn’t you?
*******
“Ha ha, does this make sense? I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
Euren of the Knights of Feltron was chatting with Aiden. It was because Ixion was buying all sorts of blue accessories in full carriage, claiming they were a gift for Elsia. People in the territory frequently expressed opinions like, ‘It must be a saint, after all,’ in response to that reckless move.
Even the Knights who had worked so hard to kill monsters would spit out his cuteness when they saw a white fur the size of a palm with Elsia. However, it was Ixion who surprised the Knights more than Elsia. The knights who had been with Ixion for a long time spent the entire day together. Of course, he openly gave her gifts and spent time with Elsia every night while running on Isith.
“How can someone who has learned enough to be like this?”
“At the very least, he’s learned something, so that’s all there is to it. What would he have done if he hadn’t learned it?”
“Sir Aiden, you know what?”
Euren laughed and said.
“He said the Prince’s strengths were his unstoppable sword and physical charm, and he said he showed Miss Elsia how to kill five monsters in one neat combination.”
“What? Did he run into a monster and cause another fuss?”
“He wanted to demonstrate that there is nothing he can’t do to protect Miss Elsia once more. It’s a kind of trauma recovery.”
“Oh, did Miss Elsia like it?”
“The Prince mentioned that Miss Elsia answered in this way.” Euren proudly continued, ignoring Aiden’s curious expression. “Enough to trust the future, but not yet.”
“That’s not the end of the story. Basically, the last word is the conclusion.”
“Really? No way.”
“It’s better to learn to play an instrument than to defeat a monster. I don’t think it’s working.”
“Still—”
Euren smiled happily as Aiden sighed slightly.
“Everyday we live on the battlefield and in monster subjugation, only looking at blood, and then we are all happy to see him live like a human being.”
Euren’s words reflected the Knights’ opinions as well.
“Isn’t it time for spring to arrive in the Prince’s life as well? Furthermore, she is regarded as a saint, which is a perfect match for the Prince who has killed numerous times.”
It may be difficult at first because it does not have a bright personality, but it is said to have a charm that makes people feel comfortable over time. He was skeptical at first because she was from Artise, but now that she has the power of a saint, that chewiness has long since vanished.
As if to calm down, Aiden said calmly to Euren, who confirmed the combination of the two.
“You should also listen to Miss Elsia’s thoughts. It’s very strong and lively, and there may be a strong competitor in this area.”
Rumors that she was entangled with Niel were fatal once it began to spread. Aiden purposefully hid Niel’s presence and wore a worried expression. Will Ixion be able to defeat Niel, who isn’t particularly good with women?
“It can’t be. Which woman doesn’t like our Prince? I’m sure they both have feelings for each other because they don’t want to rush.”
Already, Euren’s loyalty to the Lord had blinded him and trapped him in a cycle of only positive thoughts.
“The Prince, as you know, is the type who rushes forward if he thinks he has a chance to win. Isn’t it just a matter of time before the two of them get together?”
Aiden tilted his head with a serious face.
“Uhm—”
“I believe he felt the same way this time. Isn’t this the same momentum he had when he destroyed Artise?”
Aiden sighed, his face darkening in response to Euren’s words.
“Sir Euren, this is true. Miss Elsia’s surname is Artise. She’s probably terrified.”
Aiden’s worried expression hasn’t gone away for a while.
