Chapter 114 – No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think this is the case!
Chapter 112
“It’s a miracle.”
Princess Elena muttered that. Her complexion returned and her vigor turned as she looked at her body and she couldn’t believe it.
She has already drawn her holy sword. Even so, when she returned, her complexion did not turn pale again. She meant that her body was in good health.
I spoke to Princess Elena, who was making an expression of disbelief.
“Congratulations.”
“Ah…”
She raised herself from her seat. I said I didn’t have to get up, but she was reluctant. Standing in front of me, Princess Elena put her hands together and bowed her head.
“Thank you very much. Thank you for giving me this miracle, champion. I don’t know how to repay this favor.”
“It wasn’t something I was hoping for. So there is no need to feel that you have to repay the favor.”
I did it because I was sorry.
Princess Elena’s voice trembled slightly as she thanked me. I can’t say I completely understand how she feels, but she can relate. Because she has shaken off the illness that plagued her all her life.
After being greeted by Princess Elena, I said to Elfriede.
“Elfriede, I will be out. Go to Celine and get some treatment…”
“…Ah, yes. Come on. That way it won’t leave a scar.”
“Yes, then.”
I said hello to Princess Elena and was about to leave her room. At that time, the voice of Elfride that came from behind her stopped her steps for a moment.
“Abel.”
“Yes?”
“…No, I’ll see you tomorrow. I’ll give you guidance like today before tomorrow’s banquet, so you can come out to the gymnasium.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
…Did you really mean that? Something felt different.
I’ll tell you later, I thought, and left Princess Elena’s room that way.

“Sister. I am in very good shape.”
“Yeah, that’s what it looks like.”
Elena was very excited. There were small tears in her blue eyes, but they weren’t tears of sadness. I was so happy, I was so happy that I couldn’t believe this situation, so it was tears.
“… Elena, the story I had with her father was…”
“Oh, we need to talk about that again.”
“Huh?”
From noble mtl dot com.
Elena said it naturally.
“The reason I accepted the story was because I was very ill, so I wanted to be of some help… Why would I go to the Marquis of Roberg if I didn’t have to do that anymore?”
Elfriede blinked at Elena’s bold words. Elena laughed merrily at her older sister.
“Don’t worry too much, sister. Maybe my father will change his plan if he finds out that I’m better. You are that kind of person.”
“…That’s right.”
The reason why the duke wanted to send Elena to the Marquis of Roberg. It was because the best family among the families that wanted sick Elena was the Marquis of Roberg. Because there weren’t many of her families willing to take her with her ailment.
But Elena, who got better, told a different story. She was now an impeccable Princess Bathory, and her value was incomparable to that of a writer after Roberto.
There was no way the thoroughly calculating Duke Bathory would not know that.
“But if that happens, my father will try to send you to a bigger family.”
“So I’m going to run away.”
“What?”
“I will go to study abroad. Then my father won’t even try to let me go? She says that her daughter, who has been sick all her life and has become healthy, wants to study, so she wants to study abroad, but can her father stop it?”
Maybe not. It’s such a calculated operation, but it’s a person who thinks about the public image as well.
A father who gives his healthy daughter what she wants to study can create a much better image than a father who sends his healthy daughter to a bigger family.
“I can’t.”
“Isn’t it?”
Seeing Elena laughing cheerfully, Elfriede felt her unspeakable emotions. She hadn’t often seen her smile brightly because her body was always sick, but the day her younger brother smiled brightly came.
“…She owes Abel her whole life.”
“I never thought that the hero could do something like this. How should I repay this favor…”
Thoughtful, Elena muttered to herself.
“Do I have to offer my body?”
“What…don’t say anything strange, Elena!”
“Yes? Even the hero-sama will get married someday, isn’t Princess Bathory’s bride-to-be pretty good?”
“No, Abel already has a lover!”
“Oh?”
Elena looked at Elfriede with her eyes of surprise. Then she remembered Abel’s face and nodded her head.
“Well, it’s strange that he’s so handsome and kind. Who are you?”
“…The saints who go with him.”
“Aha…Yes? The saintess’s ‘selves’?”
Elena looked at Elfriede with a look on her face, wondering if she had heard it wrong, but Elfriede told her sister.
“Yes. Already two So, Elena, don’t like Abel apart from having her favor. She is a good person as a person, but maybe not as a man.”
“…Mmm.”
Elena noticed that she was in trouble. Elfriede gave her a slight nod at that figure. She also seemed to think that Abel was mean to her brother.
However, what Elena said was shocking.
“There are too many competitors.”
“…What?”
“Yes?”
“No, what did you hear me say?”
“Oh, isn’t it okay? Anyway, Hero Abel’s country of origin and Korea practice polygamy anyway. Right now, my older brother is a different child from us…”
Elfriede shouted loudly.
“Oh no! Absolutely not!”
“Yes? Why?”
“You are Princess Bathory! Are you talking about becoming someone’s concubine?”
“…Still, won’t you treat me as a fiancee? I have an identity.”
“Abel is not a person who makes decisions based on his status. Maybe… There’s a woman she considers her fiancee.”
“Hmm.”
Elena licked her lips with regret. Seeing that, Elfriede spoke in a low voice.
“I said no, Elena. You must meet someone you truly love and live happily ever after. I barely got better, but I have to live like that.”
“……Sister, is it my mistake?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Unlike usual… I heard that my sister is not worried about me, but rather checks me.”
“What…”
Elfriede was so embarrassed that the rest of her choked her speechless. Elena, who looked exactly like herself, tilted her head slightly and she grinned.
“Sister, are you interested in Hero Abel?”
“…Ah, Abel and I are just friends. I swear I have no further interest!”
“I don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of.”
“Even if I say no!”
“Okay.”
Elena finished her words like that, but inside she was convinced.
This sister has finally found a man she’s interested in.

When I went back to her room, Celine, who was up, greeted me, and she was startled to see her scars on her arm. Celine rushed over to her and healed her wounds with her divine power, she said.
“No, where did you get hurt!?”
“I drew it.”
“Yes!?”
Celine stared at me with her shocked eyes, then she started muttering to herself.
“It is said that warriors who self-harm due to the aftermath of battle sometimes appeared, but to think that the hero would already be like that… I should have comforted him better…”
“Isn’t it like that?”
To make someone suffer from PTSD.
“Then why did you cut your forearm yourself?”
“It’s supposed to cure Princess Elena’s illness.”
“Yes?”
I pointed to the Holy Sword of Order on my back and said.
“I am able to roughly handle the power of the holy sword. It is the way to cure Princess Elena’s strange disease.”
“…Yes???”
Seeing that Celine didn’t seem to understand her, I explained. As she recounted the story she had heard from Cardinal Antonio, Celine looked at her holy sword and said,
“…The holy sword of order is also unusual.”
“Is it unusual?”
“Originally, those abilities belong to the Holy Sword of Harmony… You mean that the Holy Sword of Order can do similar things, right?”
There is also a sword called the Holy Sword of Harmony.
“By the way, sickness, did Princess Elena feel unwell?”
“She was suffering from a rare disease. Didn’t you know Celine?”
“I don’t know. I’m not even an aristocrat.”
That’s right.
“Then did you come to heal Hero Elfriede’s younger sister?”
“Yes.”
“…The hero of Elfriede must have liked it.”
“Yes. It was to the point of crying… It seemed like she cared about her brother a lot.”
“Hmm.”
Celine snorted as if she didn’t like her for some reason. What’s the matter?
“Isn’t it okay to treat people carelessly?”
“No, that was really good. Saving people is a warrior’s job.”
“But it looks like you don’t like something.”
“…Because of this incident, Hero Elfriede will not pay more attention to you. I hate that.”
What was that you were worried about? That was a very cute reason.
“Celine, are you jealous?”
“You’re right to be jealous. If someone keeps coveting my man, I can’t help but get jealous.”
“Jealous Celine is cute too.”
“…Are you cuter than Saint Estelle?”
…Why did Estelle suddenly appear? If you look at it, it seems like she’s just trying to get the upper hand on Estelle and Celine.
I said it in a way that I wouldn’t feel sorry for Estelle and that Celine wouldn’t be offended.
“As cute as Estelle.”
“…You are unnecessarily fair.”
“Yes?”
What’s wrong with being fair? Good place
Celine said, removing her hand from her forearm.
“I finished the treatment.”
“Ah, thank you.”
“Hero.”
Celine held my hand tightly. And she said to me with more serious eyes than usual.
“… Hero Elfriede, don’t be tempted by her breasts.”
“…I won’t get hurt.”
This is absurd.

The next day, I headed to the gymnasium. Today I was with Celine who woke up early.
“Is training helpful?”
“It was nice that Elfriede took a very detailed look at it. It turns out that the way I hold the sword was also wrong.”
“…But you fought like that?”
“That’s right.”
As expected, blessing is a cheat key?
Celine looked at me, then she smiled and said.
“…There must be a reason why the Holy Sword of Order was chosen.”
“Yes?”
“The fact that a hero who was not even basic showed such an activity, it must mean that the hero has a talent for battle.”
“…Is that so?”
I think it was just a blessing. As we walked and chatted, we were already approaching the gymnasium.
“Huh?”
“Eh, Elena. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think this is the case!”
“Shh, there you are. Stop it, sister. Hello, warrior?”
I blinked. It had to be. I want to see what I’m seeing wrong.
“What is this…”
Seeing Celine next to me reacting like this, I didn’t think I was looking at it wrong.
“…What are you doing?”
“This is a method I came up with while thinking about how to repay the hero.”
…Reciprocate?
“Is this a reward?”
“Yes, don’t you like it?”
No, I like it and go to sleep…
Princess Elena pointed to Elfriede and said.
“My sister, don’t they look pretty good together?”
“…….”
Should I compliment this on how well it fits? Aren’t you being arrested for s*xual harassment?
“Come on, sister. The warrior has come. Should I greet you properly?”
“…Ah, I got it.”
El Friede, Elena, and her sisters greeted each other by slightly pulling up their ruffled skirts. The color scheme of black and white was somewhat familiar.
“Oh, welcome.”
“Welcome.”
The two women, who looked quite alike, greeted each other and smiled. One smiled awkwardly, and the other smiled like it was funny.
And at the same time, the same words flowed between the two lips.
“”Master.””
The reason Celine and I were so surprised was because… Elfriede and Princess Elena, who were at the gymnasium, were wearing maid outfits.
…As expected, all the women in this world seem to have lost their taste somewhere.
