Ellin had a blank expression on her face.

She felt uncomfortable. Her existence is unpleasant to Maynard.

Hearing that from Maynard. It was a shock.

This is because he was a warm knight who always protected Ellin and served her sincerely.

“Can’t you even hide the emotions on your face?”

“…….”

“As an Angelia, you are still lacking.”

The cold eyes gave her an evaluation. Ellin bit her lip.

“You’re very different from the saint. Her emotions are not very evident. I think that is her strength.”

Maynard’s warm voice echoed in her ears.

When he said that, she almost cried.

Ellin could never forget his direct but genuine words, even before she died. But now… 

“I will correct it, sir.”

The expression on Ellin’s face disappeared.

Maynard, who saw it, carefully observed the change in her expression.

“I’m going to leave.”

Ellin left Maynard. Holding back the sadness that overwhelmed her.

‘Sir Maynard must be nice to me because I was a saint.’

She grabbed her chest. But she can’t blame Maynard.

Because she chose this path.

‘Maybe this way would be better.’

Because in her first life, shortly before her death, Maynard committed suicide.

Maynard, as the saint’s knight, couldn’t bear the saint’s death.

To be precise, he couldn’t accept the fact that she had to die and that he couldn’t do anything.

In the end, he committed suicide by stabbing his heart with a sword, saying that he would go into God’s arms first and will protect her.

Yes, he was sincere.

‘Let’s not be greedy.’

Ellin struggled to cheer herself up.

Isn’t Maynard alive now? Suppressing her bitter feelings, Ellin smiled.

“Commander, why are you like that?”

Maynard was asked by the Holy Knight Lennon.

“What do you mean?”

“Did that girl make a mistake? It’s not like you…”

“Not like me? You mean I was too emotional?”

“Oh no, sorry!”

Lennon apologized, and Maynard sighed.

“Yes, maybe I’m too emotional. But she’s annoying.”

“Are you offended? Why?”

“Just everything about her is annoying.”

It was strange from the first time they met.

She is different from how others see him. Others don’t see him as she does.

For some reason, it was annoying. 

He felt uncomfortable and stabbed his chest.

“I don’t want to see her for a long time.”

Maynard frowned and muttered.

‘Did she make any mistakes?’

Lennon frowned and looked at Maynard.

A stoic and upright knight suddenly dislikes a commoner.

The commander is not someone who discriminated like that… so why? Lennon tilted his head.

“The saint has finally begun to manifest her divine power!”

The priests were busy from the morning.

Ellin was startled.

Liliana began to manifest her divine powers?

She ran out of the prayer room and quickly ran towards the priests.

“The water is being purified.”

Liliana, dressed in pure white, dipped her hands in the dirty water and it became clean.

She spread a beautiful smile and touched the soft soil. Flowers started to bloom.

“Oh!”

Angelias and the priests exclaimed in admiration.

When they all looked at Liliana in wonder, she looked back at everyone with a triumphant expression.

That smile was full of pride that couldn’t be hidden.

Liliana raised her hand and butterflies began to fly.

Ellin was startled.

Liliana was obviously using divine power. That means she was a real saint. It was confusing.

“Ellin.”

Ellin looked back at the voice calling her. It was Erich.

He approached her with a soft smile.

“Are you here to see the divine power of the saint?”

“Ah yes.”

“Sir Maynard looked this way. Hide behind me so you don’t get caught.”

Ellin was startled and hid behind Erich.

“It’s a joke. Sir Maynard must be on his way now.”

“Hey!”

At Ellin’s words, Erich burst out laughing.

Erich’s voice was always pleasant to hear.

“I am really glad that the saint has demonstrated her divine power.”

“Yes, that’s a good thing.”

“But is it a good thing?”

“Huh?”

His gaze at Liliana was mysterious.

“Sir?”

“Oh no. Of course, that’s a good thing. Before the emperor visited, the saint exerted her divine powers.”

“Yes…”

Hearing the word ’emperor’, Ellin’s heart raced.

When a saint is found, the emperor visits the temple to celebrate. So she knew Arkan would be here soon.

When she was fifteen and became a saint, he was still a prince.

The emperor at the time, Arkan’s father, led the princes to the temple.

It was then Ellin met Arkan for the first time.

“How is His Majesty?”

At Ellin’s question, Erich smiled.

“He is a very scary person. He’s scarier than Sir Maynard. He might bite you and not let you go.”

“……I’m not a little kid, High Priest.”

“Fufu, I’m just saying.”

Erich chuckled.

He seemed to be having fun every time he saw Ellin.

“He was the one who slaughtered his entire family and ascended to the throne. You shouldn’t make a mistake even if you don’t know etiquette, so, you should not wander around like this on that day.”

“Yes.”

“Of course, you’re not a child, so I’m not worried.”

At Erich’s words, Ellin smiled.
