085 To be called a villain (3)
Cedric Lister buries himself on the sofa.
It was an attitude to keep going, so Kristel continued speaking without hesitation.
“I studied a bit. As you know, my memory is not perfect, so it took me a while to learn.”
Blue-gray eyes gleamed cleverly. Of course, he did not study on his own.
Prince Jesse was very awkward with people, and he seemed to like to read, but she was different.
Kristel succeeded in stirring up the tutors and attendants of the Duke of Sarnez to find the information he needed.
Sitting in the library all day, looking through books, was the norm.
“Religious companionship is a relationship established by one imperial family and one priest making a ‘twin-s*x pact’. This is a custom unique to Lister. Once the contract is signed, the Mercury cannot share a soul with anyone other than the lord. In other words, you will not be able to give the ether to anyone else.”
“You think I don’t know that?”
“However, there is virtually no limit to the number of paladins and priests paired together.”
The prince’s glowing eyes narrowed slightly.
His sun-like gaze stared at the princess on the other side as if it would melt.
Kristel was smirking and wet her mouth with the iced Americano that David had brought her.
The coffee at Romero Palace was absolutely delicious.
Maybe it’s because it’s a place where a man who is addicted to espresso lives.
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
A suffocating silence engulfed the drawing room. Christel sighed inwardly.
I didn’t want to be urged to speak quickly, but I was surprised that he didn’t break his high posture like that.
The man’s fire-attributed ether was as ferocious as always, but there was no sign of squeezing her down yet.
Kristel kept on smiling and ran out of luck again.
“I searched for historical materials from the war era. Such records are rare. A paladin from the Penetian New Kingdom used to pair up with two priests.”
The prince began to drink his coffee slowly.
“Usually two people are a pair, but it can change when the situation is urgent. No special contract or soul binding is required to be a mate. It’s a relationship where practicality comes first.”
“Paladin and priest have different positions.”
Cedric pointed sharply. There was truth to his words.
Paladins on the battlefield were in danger of running out of ether at any time, so it was not strange to have two priest partners.
However, when one priest is paired with two or more paladins…
“Yulitter.”
Christel’s roaring voice echoed through the room.
The movement of the prince, who had buried his lips in the coffee cup, stopped abruptly.
He raised his eyes and looked at her.
Christel de Sarnez felt his ‘etheric pressure’ for the first time after entering Romero Palace.
The air heated up as if an invisible flame surrounded it.
However, it was also very modest.
She endured the pressure with white frost on her fingertips.
If we were to face each other now, we didn’t know that the two of us would destroy part of the palace.
“The lover who betrayed His Majesty, Romero, and brought the New Kingdom’s army into the Imperial Palace. A priest who was the owner of Juliet’s Palace. They say that she is a rare villain in the Empire?”
“·················ogue.”
“I looked at the records, and when Yulitter passed through the Imperial Palace portal, he had paladins on either side. One article stated that she saw her handing out ether to the two of them. It must have been the three of them.”
“It would be just one statement.”
“you’re right. But for the Crown Prince and me, isn’t it better than nothing?”
If there was one precedent, it was easy to make a second. The prince did not answer.
Kristel bit the ice hard.
As for this topic, I didn’t want to talk about it while hiding my sincerity like other nobles.
That was enough of her ‘past life’ as well.
The twinkling eyes looked straight at the prince.
“To be honest, I would like Prince Jesse to be my priest partner. He treats me without any greed. He is a good person and a good friend.”
silent answer.
“Besides, Ether is really great. Even the archbishops did not have such a clean and beautiful energy.”
“·················ogue.”
“Does your Highness feel the same way?”
“The prince is noisy like a lark and eats like a squirrel. He is not a friendly person.”
What do you mean? Kristel frowned. Suddenly, the man’s ether had subsided.
“Then you’re saying it’s okay if I ask the prince to be a partner, ah!”
Kristel shuddered.
She really didn’t mean to be angry with the prince. But isn’t this too much!
-Hurry up…
“It’s already the third chapter, handkerchief. How will you repay me?”
Kristel retrieved the remains of the handkerchief from the pocket of her jacket.
The fingers of the ice flowers were fine despite the red heat and soot.
She sharply opened her eyes.
“It means that the prince and I do not want to be married.”
And that meant that the prince was also considering Prince Jesse as a partner.
Kristel was confused as to whether she should feel pity for herself or wonder if she had understood to what extent this bastard’s way of talking.
So I decided to just say something.
“Then I will understand that the annual prayer meeting is only formally attended. When I ask the prince to mate, we always say it together. There is no need to call it out and appeal.”
After all, the prince was not the first to bow down to the prince.
But it was far better to be on the same side than the competitor.
Kristel stretched out her right hand, convincing herself.
Promises made with fingers are excessive, and handshakes are… The large contact area is annoying.
After contemplating, she clenched a small fist and reached out to him.
The prince, unable to grasp the meaning, frowned.

“Princess Blanquere, don’t think like that.”
I spoke up there and shut my mouth. I was careful.
Eva was a child who suffered from the bad brainwashing of her older brother from the age of four.
Apparently, he didn’t even realize that it was brainwashing.
I was nervous because I was afraid that I might get hurt by taking even a single sentence wrong.
As I hugged Demi and cleared my head, Sir Elizabeth, who was listening to me and Eva, spoke politely.
“Princess, do you have any plans to become independent?”
“Independent?”
“It would be nice to get a mansion and live in the Imperial Capital. Isn’t Young-ji a bit frustrated?”
I shook my head. Sir Elizabeth was right.
First, the order was to take the young princess from the clutches of the garbage peacock and release her into a free environment.
I looked at Eva’s face. The boy’s face, which had been slightly gloomy, quickly brightened.
“If it’s a mansion, it’s already there!”
“yes?”
Sir Elizabeth’s voice was distorted.
“The Duke of Blanquere in the ecliptic belongs to me. Originally, I was going to go to my brother, but since I can’t be a small peasant, I’ve been asking for a house in droves.”
“Wow.”
I briefly admired. Elisabeth, who glanced at me and glanced at me, stuck out my tongue.
Despite being troubled by the brainwashing of the villain, the little princess with a desire for power seems to have taken her share of the past.
It was very bubbly and poignant.
When Count Soh patted her shoulder as if praising, Eva smiled and dangled her legs.
“When the duke returns to his estate, will the princess accompany him?”
“Yeah, always. My parents were reluctant to leave me alone in the duke’s house as a minor. There are servants and knights.”
At my question, the girl rubbed her lips. I quietly knitted back and forth.
The Duke and Duchess of Blanquere were not friendly with their children, but they seemed to take care of the basics.
The spending was large enough to give the royal residence directly to the daughter’s livelihood.
It seemed that the situation would be much better if only the little peacock, who was only pouring out naughty words, instead of taking care of his 9-year-old younger brother, would be much better.
“I became an adult last week, so it may be different in the future.”
I said. Eva looked at me and blinked.
“You said you wanted power, Princess. The zodiac is the center of power. Here, you can receive real-time news of the nobility residing in the Imperial Capital, as well as the latest trends and trends of the imperial family. Social activities will be much easier.”
The girl’s mouth widened.
“I, too, thought so. However······. I don’t think he’s going to leave me. I said, ‘If you’re alone, other nobles will laugh at you.'”
Sir Elizabeth jumped up. I grabbed her arm behind me.
A quick whisper passed between her and me.
‘I’ll just stab you once.’
‘Please be patient.’
‘Then I’ll just stab you twice.’
‘The number has increased.’
As I barely sat Elizabeth in her seat, I remembered what Kristel had once said.
‘I want to give the people of Lucca the new life I got. If possible, it’s a way to wake up on your own.’
I didn’t mean to discourage Sir Elizabeth because the little duke was pretty.

On the day of the duel, I even thought that the prince would have let him die.
But now, if someone came forward, they would only be charged with murder or assault.
Christel was right. Eva’s wounds had to be paid for by Eva herself.
He doesn’t even know what happened to him now, but one day he’ll realize it all.
Until then, it seemed that even a hostage country could do it to take care of the child.
Besides, I wasn’t alone.
There was Sir Elizabeth, and there were Canael, Benjamin, and Cardinals Boutier.
·····················If Christelle and the prince find out about the situation, they will not just let it go.
A smile came to mind. I opened my mouth.
“No one laughs. No one thinks that the princess is bad. Unless a princess does something bad first, there is no way she can have that kind of heart.”
“But my brother…”
“The peacock says that because he is such a person.”
Around that time, Demi dug deep into my arms. I gently rubbed the boy’s back.
“There are many people who turn arrows around without making any effort to fix them even though they know their shortcomings. It’s demeaning, manipulating, and filling others with self-esteem.”
“I don’t know what you mean. It is difficult.”
Eva frowned. Me and Sir Elizabeth eventually laughed out loud.
“You can take it slow. The princess is still young, and for the time being, she will stay in the zodiac and make new friends.”
“Am I?”
The child looked at me with an expression that he did not understand English. I raised the corners of my lips lightly.
“I have done something wrong, so I should be punished. Did you really know that it was going to pass like this?”
“Profit….”
His red, rich, curly hair seemed to droop. I spoke pleasantly.
“Stay in the Imperial Palace and go to work at the Imperial Palace. All you have to do is write a letter to your parents saying that they are helping His Majesty the Cardinal and me. I need you to clean up the temple for a while.”
“Cleaning? I’ve never done anything like that in my life!”
“Everything has a first. You spilled water on the floor like that, so you have to put yourself in the position of a cleaner.”
“······I hate you. The prince is only an angel in the face, a tyrant!”
The little princess drooped her shoulders and died.
Still, I didn’t say I wouldn’t do it, so it was nice.
Sir Elizabeth looked at me and whispered, ‘You’re a player in handling children’.
I struggled to hold back my laughter.
“Is there anything else you are good at? Or maybe you want to do it in the zodiac.”
I asked jokingly. Eva rolled her black-brown iris to and fro, thinking about it.
“There are a lot of good things. He often plays the viola and dances quite a bit. I’m not good at magic, but… Ether is the best in my family.”
I nodded.
To be ordained a bishop at just sixteen was certainly a gift of genius.
It was surprising that the bloodline of the famous wizard family, Blanquere, was clumsy with magical powers, but there is no way genetics are always hard work.
“When I was four years old, I saw ‘The Shrine of Trees’ in the jungle of the territory. It’s new. There was no reaction when he touched it, but as I stroked the bow, it shone brightly!”
“······I beg your pardon?”
“I remember my brother running wild on the road because his face was blue. I just yelled at him not to tell anyone, not to let him stand when he said it. noisy.”
I immediately looked up.
Sir Elizabeth’s gray eyes were also waving intricately.
