I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess chapter 104

104 – Imperial Ethelmar (3)

[Holy woman, reverse harems are impure! [Excerpt from Volume 1 Prologue]

Soyeon had her eyes closed.

In the thick darkness, my body’s senses slowly came back to life.

The feeling that came back was that of sinking. It felt like my body was sinking, as if I was diving into water.

My body, which was slowly descending into the abyss, suddenly remembered a certain memory.

As I recall, it was definitely a pitch-black night.

A skyscraper rising like an old tree in a concrete field. The lights brightly illuminating the building swayed here and there.

Have I been overworking my body for too long? My steps were too heavy and my vision was hazy.

I walked the path in my memory, not the path I saw with my eyes.

The last thing she saw was a truck running wild.

A loud horn rang throughout the city, and lights flashed as if blocking the view.

‘Ah…… This is how you die. ‘In vain like this.’

Violence that cannot be resisted. Her overwhelming mass crashed down on her.

What replaced her screams was the terrible friction sound of the brakes.

The feeling of bones being broken and flesh being torn apart. It was such a terrible memory that I never want to experience it again.

But does it mean that opportunities come after crises?

When Soyeon opened her eyes again, a completely new world was waiting for her.

“Saint, are you conscious?”

In the original world, I was a part-time professional, but in this world, I am a saint of light who appears after decades?

The life of working overtime every day is over!

There is no boss who makes personal attacks, and there is no need to bundle up with blankets due to lack of heating costs in the winter.

Because of the burn marks I had when I was young, I no longer need to worry about people’s opinions!

Moreover, how beautiful the new life is.

‘Is this really me?’

Skin so white and fair that it resembles that of a doll rather than a person.

Shiny light pink hair like a princess in a fairy tale.

The eyes are lovely enough to evoke a protective instinct in those who see them – matching that hair color.

An incredibly beautiful girl stood in front of the mirror.

Soyeon’s new name is Ellis. And this was the new status given to the saintess of Asirel, the god of ‘light’.

Sirien achieved what he wanted.

The time given by the emperor was two years from the time of regaining the title.

The Empire will recognize Sirien’s bloody revenge as a ‘legitimate right’ and will completely tolerate it.

Those who run away from our sword will turn to the Emperor, but the answer they get back will say nothing.

In return, there were also things that were given away.

Most of the things about the Marquis of Eloran will be handled to suit the Emperor’s taste.

Our work will not disappear somewhere, but we had to draw the picture the emperor wanted.

Most of the vacant positions and interests of the marquis will be taken by the emperor’s people.

The story ended that way, but there was one more thing we gained.

I received a pass to the imperial library from the emperor.

A library boasting the largest collection of books in the empire. There was no way Sirien would just let it go.

“I think it will take some time to look around everything. Do you want to go back first?”

“How can the escort go back first?”

“It’s not any other place, it’s the imperial library. “It’s a safe place, so I don’t think there’s any need to bother you.”

“Then I’ll just look around outside for a moment. “Let’s go together on the way back.”

“Yes!”

Sirien has not been reading books in front of me much these days.

Is there some emotional change?

Anyway, while the studious saint looked around the library, I decided to look around the inside of the imperial palace a little more.

Specifically, I was planning to go to sponsorship at least once.

I found my way by looking back on the memory of the chamberlain guiding me earlier.

It will be difficult for me to visit the crown prince in person, but I can look forward to meeting him by chance in the back garden.

If we can’t meet this time, I’ll have to come up with a good excuse next time.

The back garden of the imperial palace was a resting place that the crown prince often visited.

According to the person himself, it is a good place to calmly organize his mind.

I don’t know if it’s sincere because the prince himself has so many secrets, but it was a topic used quite often in the original work.

For example, is this the first meeting between the heroine and the crown prince?

The heroine, Ellis, was an unremarkable woman in modern times, and naturally she was unable to withstand the pressure unique to the imperial palace.

A breathtaking atmosphere. Ellis, who left the venue as if running away, naturally comes to her support.

That was the moment I met the crown prince for the first time.

-She is the newly appointed Saint Lady of Asirel. This is a place that not everyone visits often. What brought you here?

– I just want to get some air for a moment. It’s nice to be able to breathe here. It also feels kind of cozy.

– …… Is that so? Then take a break and go. Although it is not as flashy as a garden, it is quiet and a cool breeze blows.

The sharp and cold prince showed a warm side only to his mistress.

Right from the beginning.

It was quite a questionable area, but as time passed, it was summarized as ‘the crown prince fell in love with Ellis at first sight.’

Well, it goes without saying that Alice is beautiful. I also heard from readers that they were taken in by her beauty.

The protagonist of a romantic fantasy.

Even when there was all kinds of uproar in women’s fragrances, with girl crushes and all, the fundamental thing never changed.

I would say that the desire deep inside has not changed. So it was natural that Ellis’ beauty was absolute.

Only Sirien was described as equal to Alice’s beauty.

In the sense that it can be compared to our saint, it is definitely not at a significant level.

The female lead was so beautiful that there were many descriptions of her beauty.

‘You were so expensive when it came to us.’

Anyway, there was a problem.

When we arrived at Huwon, there was really no one there.

It seems that it was too great of an expectation to ‘accidentally’ run into the crown prince in a place like this.

Well, that guy will never be idle either.

I guess I came with too vague expectations. I guess I’ll just kill some time at the sponsorship and then go back to the library.

After choosing a suitable bench and sitting down, my eyes were drawn to the scenery of Huwon.

A quiet place, as the crown prince once said.

I once again understood the mention of this being the only resting place in the imperial palace.

It’s better than I thought. Should I just take a short nap like this?

She also told Sirien that she would go as a sponsor, so there would be no conflict whatsoever.

As I was about to close my eyes for a moment, I felt a presence behind me.

“Huh? “He’s not the one who always comes today.”

A beautiful, beautiful voice.

If Sirien had a lithe and calm feel, this one had a gentle and affectionate feel.

Anyway, I felt like I was the only person worth talking to in the sponsorship, so I cautiously opened my eyes and looked back.

At that moment, my eyes opened wide.

“This is a place that not everyone visits. “What brought you here?”

On the outside, she’s just a girl who gives off a bright vibe.

Of course, it was my first time meeting the girl, but I knew the girl well.

Even though the clothes and atmosphere were different, it was impossible to tell at this point.

The author described the light pink hair, which was expressed as Alice’s identity, as being dizzyingly beautiful.

I never thought that a girl with skin like white jade would be common.

“…… Hmm? Are you perhaps sleeping? “I came because I thought there were definitely people there.”

“No, there is. “I was just a little embarrassed.”

Even when you see me in front of you, you don’t make eye contact.

Even though he knew my location, he didn’t seem to know where to focus his gaze specifically.

It wasn’t that difficult to guess the reason.

The most notable reason is the white cane in the hand. It was an item that did not suit someone of his age who looked similar to Sirien.

A refreshing eye smile. The eyes seen in the meantime had a blurry light without focus.

“Oh, was I rude? Sorry. “I didn’t think about it because it’s rare for me to have a chance to meet new people.”

“It’s okay. “If you don’t mind, may I ask your name?”

“My name is Ellis. “I am the granddaughter of the horticulturist who manages this sponsorship.”

Yes.

The girl was blind and could not see.

“If there is someone who visits here from time to time, I would like to give a brief introduction. Not often, though. “I can’t go outside on sunny days.”

“Are you okay today? “It’s not that cloudy.”

“This is barely okay. I won’t be there for long, though. “I’ve been under some positive influence lately, so I’m working hard!”

Wow! Ellis flexed her arms, which lacked any muscle, and made a powerful gesture.

The more I looked at her, the more confused her mind became.

It’s about 3 to 4 years away from Alice’s first appearance.

The heroine said that since she had a ‘reincarnation’, she naturally thought that before that she was a person who did not exist in this world.

No one in the novel was curious about Ellis, who was not the ‘Saint of Asirel,’ and the author never mentioned the story before that.

Then who is this woman in front of me?

Why is a girl who looks exactly like Ellis wandering around this imperial palace?

That also refers to Huwon, which is said to be the crown prince’s favorite resting place.

Ellis smiled.

“So, I would like to guide you through this sponsorship during the time allowed for me. “Are you okay?”

“…… Gladly.”
