The body moved first.
-Paaah!
Unrefined ether spread all over the place, giving off a dazzling brilliance as it ran around without thinking.
I stood in the way of Prince Sedric. The look in Elisha’s gaze was full of bewilderment.
But it was important to stop the attack once.
“Jesse?”
Her voice trembled thinly.
The bright yellow sun rising above the dance floor was slowly rotating in place.
A flame that seemed to burn the target at any moment was raging and his tongue fluttered.
I was salivating at the terrifying visual and heat.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you.”
I said taking a deep breath. Then it felt like my head was spinning.
Now, the prince was undergoing examination for appointment as a paladin by cardinal Elisser.
I knew it wasn’t a place where I couldn’t interfere.
But isn’t it too much to test with stigmata?
The prince was still an apprentice, and he was strong enough not to be confirmed in that way.
I couldn’t figure out why things got so hot.
“Prince, are you okay?”
At that moment, Kristel’s voice was heard too close.
I looked back in surprise. And I opened my mouth wide.
She and Sir Elizabeth, as well as Benjamin, Canael, and David, the prince’s servant, were gathered in my sanctuary.
It was hard to breathe because everyone ran in a hurry.
Bravery also sat on the prince’s shoulder and trembled with his wings.
In particular, Kristel and Count So were holding the Crown Princess in check with whips and swords, respectively.
“·················ogue.”
Soon, the eyes of the prince standing in the center of the circle met.
The dusty shirt was torn here and there, and the hair was messed up, but it was a pictorial.
His eyes widened slightly. What is that, those surprised eyes?
“I am okay.”
I answered and looked back again. The Crown Princess had a very confused face.
Damn, wasn’t that something Prince Jesse would do?
I felt a late sense of crisis, but it was even more strange to suddenly leave.
I calmly opened my mouth.
“I have been taught that the stigmata is the most powerful power a cardinal can exercise. It’s too much to write to the prince,”
He spoke up there and glanced at the prince.
The thought that this guy might have provoked me first flashed through my mind.
Then the prince frowned and lowered his sword.
His arms seemed to lose strength, and a cold sweat was forming on his forehead. Well, it looks hard too.
“······I think. If the prince has ever been rude to you, please forgive me.”
I spoke hard.
“Prince-sama was originally like that…. That person is right. But if you know it, people are good and bad.”
I couldn’t shield myself as much as I could.
I streamed the ether through the circle without a trace.
It was felt as if the prince was drinking living water, gulp and gulp, absorbing his power.
I know it’s a foul, but I had to be prepared in case the judging continued.
Because I can’t turn into ‘Sady’ in front of Eliser.
“Have you become friendly with the prince? with them too?”
Elisha whispered after a while.
She slowly lowered her left hand, which she had raised as if commanding. I’m trying to answer
“The Crown Princess.”
Cardinal Bootier’s voice cut sharply between us.
I watched her walk gracefully from the outskirts of the dance hall.
The cardinal had a faint smile, but his beige eyes didn’t contain the emotion of Demi’s mustache.
The pure vigilance and the gaze that set me on it were all.
The atmosphere was 180 degrees different from usual, and I was almost dazed.
“You seem to have lost your composure. I’ve never heard of a cardinal using stigma against an apprentice paladin.”
“·················ogue.”
“Can you continue the examination?”
Elisha was silent at the elder’s point. I took the opportunity to look behind me again.
David was watching the prince’s wounds. I don’t think there were any serious injuries.
“Can I open a healing circle?”
“If yes, thank you very much.”
“Prince, I will take you to the Juliet Palace.”
While talking to David, Sir Elizabeth interrupted.
When she looked up at her unfavorable behavior, she saw the Imperial Guards rushing all the way in front of her.
They moved in unison and surrounded the perimeter of the sanctuary.
It was clearly intended to isolate the Crown Princess and me.
It seems that Cardinal Boutier had given the Countess an unspoken command.
“Then the judgement is,”
“Neither do I. But it can be dangerous for the prince, so you should go in.”
She whispered as she looked at me with serious gray eyes.
I shared my eyes with the two main characters once.
Kristel nodded quickly, and the prince did not express any dissatisfaction. meant to go.
“then······. Let’s go in first. We apologize for interrupting the review.”
I said to Master. She only smiled softly.
At the table we ran to, Cardinal Ari Schott was waving his hand.
It was okay, so I meant to go away. I bowed my head and reaped the sanctuary.
Although the main characters are worried, it is true that they are reluctant to talk to Elissa more.
The last time she looked back, her face looked as empty as the sunset for some reason.
*
“It looks like it’s going to rain, Prince.”
“I know. thank you.”
I looked out from the window in the 2nd floor drawing room and took the teacup that Canael had handed me.
The dark clouds lying in the sky made an impression as if they were about to burst into tears at any moment.
Two days have already passed since the first trial when Elissa tried to put stigmas on the prince.
According to David’s message, the prince’s examination that day ended in a slump.
Today was the day of the second screening, Kristel’s match.
This wet weather was very beneficial to her, who is a water attribute.
But again, I was in trouble. It was because Emperor Frederic had locked him up again.
It was not surprising.
For some reason, the Crown Princess tried to activate the stigmata in the royal palace, and the target was the prince, and I was the one who blocked it.
It was a terrifying moment for fear that a conflict might arise.
However, it was fortunate that the Crown Princess’s farewell party was not canceled the day after tomorrow.
That was my goal from the start.
I cleared my mind as I drank the steaming peach blossom tea.
To explain the circumstances of Sir Johann Haynes and the way his son was to be exiled into the Empire, I had to speak without hesitation.
“It’s good for Eva. Because I wanted to be your partner.”
As I spoke, Canael, who was drinking the juice, smiled and affirmed.
Today, it was Princess Eva Blanquer who was in charge of distributing the ether for Kristel and the prince on my behalf.
There were many other priests, but I heard that Cardinal Boutier had personally nominated him as it was a rare case of acquaintance with both men and women.
Sant was still in prison, so it was difficult to enter the palace.
I looked outside again and fell into thoughts.
‘Your mother will be happy too. When I was young, I wanted you to be my partner.’
The meaning of the queen’s words was clear.
This meant that his mother, King Christaner, considered the prince and Elissa as priests and paladin partners.
When I was young, I understood.
The king must have thought that the son of the priest’s blood would one day manifest the ether.
But the prince was ordinary until he became an honorary bishop at the age of sixteen.
Here’s what I found out.
The king did not dislike or distance himself from his son.
Rather, he wanted to connect the future of the eldest child and the second child as one.
Considering the look and tone of the Crown Princess towards me, she also genuinely loved her younger sister.
So there was only one conclusion. Guk-seo was the one to kill, and the other Penetians were fine.
It was obvious that even the young second princess would have been close with her older brother.
“Hey.”

One crazy man has ruined my family.
I let out a small sigh and wet my throat with the pale pink tea. That was then.
“Oh, he’s here again.”
Canael looked out the window and muttered. I naturally followed the boy’s eyes.
Exotic attire similar to mine, a solid body and bald hair came into view.
She was talking with Pierre, the servant of the Juliet Palace.
“Isn’t that Martin? The Crown Princess isn’t with her, she’s here.”
“yes. After entering the palace, I kept coming to Juliet Palace.”
“Why didn’t I know?”
“It’s not about seeing the prince, it’s about delivering the gift of the new kingdom.”
Canael beckoned, ‘Look.’
Now Bonnie Pierre and Martier seemed to be arguing rather than having a conversation.
Martier was about to hand over the things he had in his arms, and Pierre was refusing with a puzzled face.
The gift was wrapped in silk, so it was impossible to identify it.
“Even though you said you have to go through the quarantine at the Imperial Palace first, you are reckless. It’s absolutely no harm, the prince said you should see it first.”
“It must have been difficult.”
“yes. Benjamin was in a lot of trouble. I can’t go out too hard because the other person is a trainee for the Crown Princess.”
Canael rubbed his mouth.
When Pierre did not bend his attitude, Martier bit himself as if he had no choice.
She looked up at the sky once, frowned and rubbed one shoulder for a long time.
Is it cloudy and your body aches?
“Prince, won’t you accept it?”
Canael asked slyly.
When I turned my head, the boy was looking at me with hopeful eyes. A roar of laughter erupted.
“Of course I can’t. know what you’ve heard I am not an easy man.”
– Ki-eung
Just in time, Demi came up to me wagging her tail.
I held him in one arm and looked out the window for a long time.
Is Kristel doing well on her exams?
*
– Awesome!
A long, sharp golden spear, ‘anticipation of a headwind’, cut through the air of the indoor dance hall.
If you avoid it after seeing it, your body will be late. But Kristel’s ether was pretty fast.
She immediately reached out.
-Shoot!
– Aww!
A thick and huge barrier of water rose from the empty floor.
The moment the window pierces the spray,
– Jeez!
All the moisture froze in an instant.
The water, which spread in the shape of a crown, immediately tightened the anticipation.
Mugu resisted as if he had an ego and wanted to escape the ice.
Watching the swaying spear, Kristel put her left hand on the ice wall.
-Jeongjeok, jeopjeok…
New water filled the cracked area with the power of anticipation, and it froze again and strained it.
Kristel swung her whip at the same time. In order to properly check the Crown Princess standing opposite me,
– Whoops!
– Clap!
Before the water even took shape at the tip of the whip, the ice wall shattered like glass.
It was because of the spark of the Crown Princess.
Kristel quickly grabbed the whip and prepared for the next blow.
I remembered what Prince Jesse had said at the Summer Palace.
‘When I made a somersault and landed on the ice stairs. If I didn’t consume it as it was and flew it to the other side…’
If you don’t waste the broken ice, you can try a new attack.
“Huh!”
-squash!
She wrapped her arms deep and drew a horizontal line with her whip.
It was the result of copying one of the prince’s herbivores.
The ice cubes shining sharply like swords all at once turned towards the Crown Princess,
“uh?”
– Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa!
Ice fragments were nailed to the walls of the well-repaired gymnasium.
There was no one on the other side. No fighting spirit or etheric pressure was felt.
Kristel looked to the side with a bewildered look on her face.
Elise, who had already handed her spear to the servant, was wiping her hands with a wet towel.
It was crazy.
“······majesty?”
“It’s an outstanding talent. I have seen enough of your abilities.”
The Crown Princess answered with an indifferent expression and voice.
At a table far away, Cardinal Schott and Eva looked at Kristel and clapped their hands.
I think we exchanged the sum for about 10 minutes, but it felt like the judging was already over.
Meanwhile, Cardinal Boutier was checking the Prince’s etheric flow.
Kristel bit her lip.
There’s nothing wrong with ending it easily, but unlike yesterday, the Crown Princess who doesn’t seem lively was frustrated.
Even more so because I thought I knew the reason.
“majesty.”
As she slowly approached her and talked to her, the Crown Princess glanced down at her.
There was quite a difference in height. It seemed bigger than the prince.
Kristel opened her mouth with wide eyes.
“I wish my brother happiness.”
“·················ogue.”
The crown princess’s wall shook as if it were about to break. The noble lady continued.
“I am sorry for the sudden rude remark. But I don’t think you’ll like long intros.”
Then I took a deep breath.
The image of my older sister who had left me confused my mind, but I endured it well.
To be honest, I felt a little sad that there was another human being who felt such cramped and unanswered emotions.
But for both my sister and my brother, someone had to say this.
“I wish I could be with my brothers and sisters for the rest of my life, but there are times when I can’t. Some are looking for a new family. A more comfortable and peaceful place.”
