The saint hates the princess-1
“Why?”
“…No, just. Suddenly, I have a strange feeling.”
When the carriage stopped for negotiations with the different races, I got off the carriage and gazed at the depths.
I don’t put too much focus on my senses like Adele.
There were many times when the feeling I recalled was wrong, but it was true that the ominous feeling was never wrong.
I don’t know why I feel this way.
So, for some reason, I feel like I’m going to meet Miragen.
When I left for the South, I heard that Mirazen was put under a probation.
Perhaps, if he was here now, the probationary spirit was released faster than expected, or he just came out of his own will.
Could it be that he ignored the emperor’s order and secretly came out?
I thought of something Miragen might be interested in in the south, and I thought it might not be possible.
Mirazen had been to the South before.
If you move with wizards, you can move quickly through teleportation, but
He didn’t like the different races, so he tended to move in secret.
The reason why Mirazen went to the South at that time was because of the artifact.
It was an artifact that even the imperial family knew about, but securing it would have helped Miragen herself.
It was different from the artifact I was looking for.
What Mirazen is trying to secure is what the moon god made, but what I’m trying to secure is related to the dragon.
Due to the recent Terranite mine, Miragen’s power has increased slightly.
He was influential enough to have some say in it now, but it was true that he was weak compared to Keitel.
If you still care about it? Maybe we can meet here.
I wish I didn’t shake it.
“It seems like you’re thinking of someone else.”
“Did you learn mind reading in the North?”
When I asked, Adele shrugged and came closer to me.
Negotiations with the different races were the work of Adrian and Paladin.
As such, since we had nothing to do, we had no choice but to relax in many ways until the work was over.
Anyway, Adele’s intuition is better than mine.
I don’t know if it’s a woman’s intuition, but it’s like I got caught thinking about Miragen.
I don’t mean to be honest, but when I laughed awkwardly, Adele looked at me as if she knew something.
To be honest, I felt very sorry for Adele.
I couldn’t tell you more about myself, although I actually had a lot to tell you.
If I say more, I think it will only increase confusion.
Even so, a little consolation would be that she was now a little wary of the crown prince.
If you were vigilant, you wouldn’t die in vain like I saw right away.
If an emergency arises, I will step in.
If we pass this year like that, wouldn’t we be satisfied even if we lost the bet we had with her?
“When you’re done here, are you going to go straight to the center?”
“I guess so. Shouldn’t we do what we prepared soon?”
Adele knew I was going to be the head of the household.
I think I know the meaning of this southern trip to some extent, but I didn’t know about the purpose after becoming the head of the household.
Treason, I wanted to tell you that I was trying to bring it up… but somehow the conversation didn’t go in that direction.
If you become the head of household, you will be busy for a while.
I had to absorb the power in my own way, and I had to win the support of the nobles and reign over them.
At least to the extent that no nobles would stand in my way.
In that sense, Adele’s support has been quite a force.
If the Archduke supports me, doesn’t that mean that 30% of the empire supports me?
“I can help if you want. That sister has done something to you.”
Adele, who was gritting her teeth, was not in a good mood.
Maybe because she read my memories, because of the memories I told her in the past.
Because I heard that all the scars on my body came from one person. Perhaps this is a natural reaction.
“…How could you do that to your brother? He had a very strange way of thinking.”
“It is in the past. Well, not once or twice.”
“I am watching now. So I have no choice but to be annoyed. I remembered it and endured trying to hit Taylor over and over again.”
After hesitating for a moment, Adele removed her gaze from me and added.
“Because I couldn’t ruin the board you made.”
“It would be nice to say thank you. You don’t have to worry about me that much.”
“As I always say, you have a knack for making people care. It means that you can see it even if you don’t want to see it.”
Since we have memories of each other, it was comfortable because there were a lot of things we could communicate with each other.
At this point, the only person who can talk like this is probably Adele.
Theresia, who knows my other memories, um. because it’s dead
The part she annoyed me was always the same.
The anxiety that comes from the feeling that it will disappear at any moment, and the psychological state that would not be strange even if it collapsed right away.
Adele seemed to care more about me after hearing that I had died a few times.
I looked at Adele, who was still staring at me, then smiled and shrugged.
“If you’re that worried, why don’t you just come to the center. Anyway, after I become the head of the household, no one will really say anything about him.”
“Not a bad idea. No, it’s worth considering.”
It was said as a joke, but Adele seemed to be quite serious about it.
When I asked if she really wanted to come, she opened her mouth as if it were natural.
“Are you sure you want to come? There must be something you need to do.”
“Rotos will do it. Because it’s been like that before anyway.”
It seemed like I was talking about something useless.
I stare at Adele, who is seriously considering my words, and silently prays toward Lotos.
The fact that Lotos was unfairly treated didn’t seem to be much different from the previous life or this time.
Maybe that’s fate.
It would be embarrassing to me.

Adele went away saying she was tired, and I was left alone again.
I don’t know when I’m talking to other people, but when I’m alone, I naturally think a lot.
I wanted to avoid anything complicated in my head, so I tried to contact Miragen, who I had been thinking about for a while.
Adele… Adrian, there’s Miragen.
They all have a splendid aspect, but they were people I wanted to take care of until the end of this life.
Even if I die, it would be better for these people to live.
It would be nice if Mirazen was in the imperial palace instead of in the south, but I don’t know if things will go the way I thought.
It didn’t take long for the voice to be heard again.
After a while, I heard a familiar voice in my ear, and I smiled for some reason.
“how are you?”
– I’ve been fine. thanks to whom
Is the last incident still lingering in your mind?
I laughed out loud at the slightly blunt voice, and Mirazen opened her mouth as if she didn’t like it.
– These days, we often contact each other privately. I hope you can think of the purpose of this artifact.
“Isn’t it given for Saddam in the first place? If you wish, I will only speak publicly from now on.”
-…I’m not saying you have to do that. It is good to contact you often. But, don’t talk about other people.
“All right. Anyway, I contacted you today to talk to Her Highness, the princess.”
Then I heard a clearing of my throat, and then a much clearer voice than before.
I could feel the mix of anticipation just by listening to her voice, so I smiled at Mirajen’s voice.
-If what you just said is true, I might forgive you for your rudeness so far. I guess you’ve changed your mind a bit now? Sometimes I think of myself, right?
“It is.”
-…Uh, really? really?
“I don’t think this is a joke, but were you offended?”
– It can’t be. Hmmm, that’s just because it was unexpected.
Mirazen’s voice was full of emotions that could not be hidden.
As a princess, she tried to keep herself in shape, but she smiled a little at my voice full of signs of liking my words.
Whenever I talked to Mirazen, I couldn’t help but think a lot about the old days.
Something to be jealous of, something to like. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen it too many times, but I could tell what kind of emotions he was harboring just by hearing his voice.
– So, what did you call me this time? I didn’t do it because I was really curious about my well-being. Yes?
“I really wanted to say hello. Now that we are heading to the deep southern part, we have some time to spare.”
– It looks like you didn’t accompany the wizards. If we had gone together, we would have arrived sooner.
“It’s awkward when there’s friction with other races. There’s nothing you can do about it.”
Even as I said that, I focused on what Mirazen was hearing.
Not just your voice, but also the sounds around you.
When I was talking on the phone in the room before, the sound rang slightly, but this time I didn’t feel that vibration.
It was an open space.
It may be that they are talking on the phone in the garden, but it is not Miragen’s personality to use artifacts like this in places like gardens.
At least when it comes to talking to people you are interested in, don’t you prefer places where there are no people?
It is not the imperial palace. If so, where would it be? The answer to that question was a voice from beyond.
The sound of birds flying in the sky, which you would never hear in a room like the imperial palace.
stab-!
I laughed bitterly when I realized that the sound was made by a bird living in the south, not a bird in the center.
I didn’t want Mirazen to be here, but it seemed that this ominous feeling had caught on exactly.
Close your eyes tightly. Just imagining it gave me a headache.
“I’m asking just in case, but are you in a place other than the imperial palace right now?”
-Muh, what are you talking about? You know it’s still a probationary order.
“You know what?”
Mirazen was a character who couldn’t lie.
When he lied, his voice showed through, so he was often caught trying to fool Keitel.
Maybe it was because we spent so much time together.
Now that I could tell what he was thinking just by hearing his voice, I realized that Mirazen was lying.
“Your Highness, you mean you can’t lie. I also heard the new sound I had just heard. I think you know what that means.”
-…So you’re saying I’m in the South?
“Isn’t that right? No way, you really are here.”
stab-!
There was a time difference, but I heard the chirping of the birds that Mirajen had heard.
This time it’s not coming from the Artifact, but really from above my head.
What does that mean? The direction from which the bird flew, that is to say, there must be Miragen in the depths.
When asked again, Mirazen muttered in a small voice as if resigned.
-Please keep it a secret from Obama…? If I get caught this time, I might have to stay in the imperial palace for a year.
“What the hell were you thinking- Ha ha.”
I had only one thing to say to Mirazen who said that.
I don’t think he’d come all the way to the center alone, but he was still deep in the south.
It happened in the past, and I remember that even then, Miragen came back intact.
However, I couldn’t help but worry. Mirazen is like a sore finger to me.
He swallowed for a moment, then opened his mouth.
Speak as softly as possible without appearing angry.
“Stay still there. Until we come, don’t move one step.”
It felt like putting it directly in my sight would put my mind at ease.
By the way, if Miragen is here, will all three of them get together, including Adele and Adrian?
My head hurt for some reason, so I brushed my forehead and let out a sigh.
My back hurt.
Very, in many ways.
