I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess chapter 72

72 – Northern Mountains (5)

If you think about it, Dersian used Isha as a comparison target every time he faced a strong enemy.

This time, the opponent was said to be slower than Isha or better than Isha.

He never thought it was particularly strange.

Isha’s strength was depicted at a considerable level in the work.

Even Dersian, who beat Isha, would say it was a coincidence, implying that he was still below Isha.

Even among the prosecutors other than myself, Isha was rated the most highly.

So, I thought that Dersian’s image of a ‘powerful enemy’ had only solidified into Isha’s appearance.

In any case, he was a member of the heroine Alice’s reverse harem.

He couldn’t help but think that he would naturally like Ellis.

Well, what can I do about the fact that I like myself now?

It is said that it was love at first sight. And a facial expression that clearly reveals emotions.

It seems that the reason Isha was mentioned frequently in the original work was not just because of her strength.

If you think about it, even though Dersian appeared early, it took quite a long time for him to become romantically involved with the female lead.

“I heard you were teaching me how to use a sword, but I heard you like making bread. “It’s been a hobby I’ve often had since I was young.”

“Baking…… I see. “I want to try it someday.”

So, with a sad heart, I tried to squeeze in something.

If Dersian had fallen in love with Isha at first sight in the original, she would have had a pretty miserable life with this guy.

His first love happened to be an assassin who tried to kill him. In order for her

To survive, she had to be cut down, and her Isha ended up dying in the torture chamber of the Inquisition Department.

After she had finally made up her mind, her second love was snatched away by the crown prince.

In the epilogue where the heroine got married, Dersian went on a training mission to become stronger.

Now I felt like I knew the meaning of ‘practice.’

Well, this is what happens behind a happy ending.

Especially the loser in a love fight is bitter.

Dersian bowed his head to me again.

“Thank you so much, Lord Rajen. “Please ask me more often in the future!”

“…… But don’t come too often.”

“I understand!”

I don’t think you understood.

Anyway, as soon as the conversation ended, I returned to my seat.

When we returned, there was Sirien with his cheeks puffed out as if he was completely upset.

My lover increased my anxiety with just a few words.

“Razen cheated on me.”

“What do you mean by that? “I was next to you just now and I just came to talk to you for a moment.”

“I saw it all. “That person looked completely in love in front of you.”

“That…… That’s such a terrible mistake. “I don’t even want to imagine.”

“Hmm, really? “Quickly come and sit next to me.”

“I was completely caught off guard. “I never thought even men would target you.”

“It’s not like that. “I explained everything.”

Sirien nuzzled her face in my arms.

The soft cheeks were rubbed, leaving traces of warmth.

“What happened just now really shocked me. “I thought it was only women who coveted you.”

“Such misunderstandings bother me.”

“I have no prejudice.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to have a little while?”

“I don’t know. Please reassure me quickly.”

When I took a quick look at his expression, the corners of his lips were smirking.

Fortunately, what he said was just a joke, and he seemed to just want to stick around like this.

As Sirien looked around, she moved to sit on my legs.

Naturally, my arms were wrapped around Sirien’s stomach.

Passersby could see it, but they were strangely active in this regard.

I don’t know the standards. Is it okay if no one sees it right now?

I think I would be very embarrassed if I were to see it in person.

“Yes, yes. To me, you are the only one. “Where can a knight go, leaving his lord behind?”

“Heh, that’s right. Rub your stomach too. It looks like something I ate earlier was on top. Yep. Like that.”

“Some people even bite their ears at times like this. Should I bite you too?”

“Well, talking about that is prohibited!”

Sirien turned her head.

Is it okay for her to ask for a tummy rub, but is it okay for her to put her mouth on her ear?

A woman’s heart was truly unknown.

“Actually, you know, I’m a little scared.”

“Are you scared?”

“If we go to the capital, there might be someone who knows us. Perhaps…… There might be Count Roxen. “Would I be able to remain calm if I saw that person even in passing?”

Sirien’s voice trembled a little.

“Well. “I think it’ll probably be okay.”

The Sirien I know is a person who becomes cold when she gets angry.

The day I lost Therion and Henna. You had clearly quenched your boiling like lava and whispered revenge in a low and quiet tone.

Derailing work due to emotions is probably something I need to be careful about.

Just today, Dersian caught me trying to kill him.

Still, I thought it would be better to reassure Sirien for now.

He pressed his body close to his slender back.

I knew well how to comfort Sirien.

Because I was the one who comforted him every time he cried loudly in the castle.

Our saint has always liked my body temperature.

If I held her hand or patted her on the back and whispered that it was okay, she quickly calmed down and stopped crying.

Although I am not crying now, my heart will still sink.

“It’s already been 4 years. Roxen prepared for over 4 years to finish it without any time to do anything. “Your revenge will be perfect.”

“What if I make a mistake?”

“I will do something in that case. You agreed to help. From that cabin.”

We were always two as one.

Sirien can make up for my mistakes, and I can make up for Sirien’s mistakes.

That’s how we’ve always done it.

Our procession headed to the capital without any problems.

We had just left the damn northern mountains, and it seemed like we would probably reach the capital in a day or two.

Thanks to the free time, Sirien and I were not given guard duty today.

The two of them could now hang out in a comfortable carriage.

Sirien took this opportunity to talk to me about things to do in the capital.

First of all, the conclusion reached with Sirien in the current situation was simple and clear.

There is still a lack of physical evidence and power.

“Listen. “There are two ways we can dethrone the Marquis of Eloran.”

Inside the rattling carriage. Sirien drew a picture on a small piece of paper.

A scale symbolizing the court. And it was an eagle symbolizing the imperial family.

“One is the imperial court. “Is the other one Hwang Myeong?”

“Yes. In fact, it’s enough if you’re depressed. “If there is physical evidence, there is a chance of victory in a fair court, and unless the Emperor is a fool, he will think that the Marquis’s secrets are true.”

“I think I heard that fighting in court is not allowed.”

“That’s right. The imperial courts are rotten. You might wonder if I come to the forefront, but that’s out of the question right now. “It’s too dangerous.”

Sirien boldly drew an X on her scale.

A court where the words ‘rotten’ come from the mouth of a grand duchess of a country. This empire seemed to be in shambles.

Conversely, a circle was drawn on the eagle side.

“Then the one where the royal order is given is the cleanest one?”

“Yes. So the problem is the emperor.”

Politics does not simply revolve around truth or justice.

This was especially true in countries as old as empires.

Extremely complicated interests have rusted various parts of the country.

“Think from the emperor’s perspective. “What will the emperor gain if we do as we say?”

“Baron Isquente. And the empty seat of the Marquis of Eloran?”

“You won’t like that very much. Externally, the Marquis of Eloran was neither on the emperor’s side nor on the side of other nobles. “The empty seat will have to be shared between the two of us.”

The Marquis of Eloran is a very old and prestigious family in the empire.

Naturally, he had influence in central politics.

Commander of the outskirts garrison. That means his value is incomparable to that of Baron Isquente, who was a commoner.

“On the other hand, what if we quietly eliminate Baron Isquente, exploit the weakness of the Marquis of Eloran, and threaten him?”

“You will have a strong and obedient dog.”

“That’s right. So, right now, I can’t open my hands to the emperor.”

A triangle has been added over the circle.

Sirien drew arrows from the picture.

A new picture was drawn above the arrow. Lamplight. It was the sign of Hybras.

“But there is a way to buy time. “I am asking for the Hybras Church to be officially recognized by the empire.”

“Then what changes?”

“The imperial family will send someone to our temple. In the meantime, even the Marquis of Eloran won’t be able to do anything foolish.”

“Is that why we have to go to the capital?”

“That’s the way it is…… “Actually, there’s one more thing.”

Sirien took my hand and led me.

“We have to have very, very solid physical evidence. And I’m going to make it big so the emperor can’t hide it.”

Sirien came closer and touched my lips with the tip of her finger.

The playfully smiling face was quite close.

“What does it take for people to talk to each other?”

“Mouth. If not, even a handwritten letter.”

“That’s right. No matter what, if you want to talk, you have to meet people. Especially if it’s a secret story.”

“There must be a contact person. Are you currently active in the capital?”

“That’s right. You’re lucky you caught it. “This is information that only Russell knew.”

Sirien pressed his lips against mine.

It was a very light kiss, but it felt like her hot breath touched her face.

“This is a reward. Rajen, thanks to you, things have become easier.”

Sirien, smiling brightly, was, of course, the prettiest in the world.
