Chapter 31: I can’t think of anything

My fingers were tired from flicking the priests’ foreheads, and I was led into the Great Temple by a group of people.

It seems that Europa-sama explained to me in advance how I should live after leaving the Great Temple.

Perhaps that is why I was able to get permission to take Theodore-sama and Kira with me.

(…Nostalgic)

I think this as I walk down the marble corridor.

I’ve only been gone for a dozen days, but it feels like I haven’t been here in a long time.

“By the way, Evelyn-sama, you’re getting prettier! I love it!”

“What do you mean? Evelyn-sama was as beautiful as an angel from birth!”

“Can’t you ‘flick’ me one more time…maybe you’ll do it when I kneel down! ?”

“Shut up, both of you, shut up! Evelyn-sama is my first grandchild, and I would love to have her in my eyes!”

(Maybe it’s because my environment is so different from before…)

The priests, who used to be serious and calm, seemed to have changed a lot.

But maybe they really are the way they are. I wonder if they strained to stay upright in front of me. If so, then I am sorry.

“Evelyn-sama. It’s dangerous. Please don’t leave my side.”

While looking at the priests around him, Theodore speaks softly in my ear.

The Chief priest has noticed this and narrows his eyes sharply.

“…Young man. What the hell are you doing? Do you think you’re Evelyn-sama’s boyfriend?”

“I won’t deny it. I want to be that kind of person for Evelyn-sama.”

(Gya-! !”)

Theodore-sama says this with a serious expression, and the people around him are stunned.

The Chief priest also cried out trembling.

“You are in love with… Evelyn-sama! ?”

“Yes. I think more of Evelyn-sama than anyone else.”

(Gya-! !)

I’m too embarrassed and worried to keep a straight face.

Theodore-sama gently took my right hand in his.

“It’s all right, Evelyn-sama. I’ll protect you no matter what.”

“…!”

(The reason I don’t feel good right now is all your fault!)

But I can’t say it. I can’t afford to say something like that.

I couldn’t say anything, but I nodded enthusiastically and stretched my neck.

Then, for some reason, the noise of the priests got louder and louder.

Then Europa-sama called out in a clear voice, “Calm down, everyone!”

“I can understand that you are upset. But let’s save Theodore-sama’s impeachment for later.”

“Wait, Europe, am I going to be tried?”

“Evelyn-sama is revered as an idol in this country —No, in the whole world.”

(I’m not an idol. I’m a former Saint…).

While I was still considering whether to protest, we had reached the central hall of the Great Temple.

I had been told in advance that His Highness Prince Oz would be waiting for me here.

But when I saw the figures near His Royal Highness Oz in his wheelchair… I couldn’t help but squeeze Theodore-sama’s hand tightly.

“E-Evelyn!”

He called my name in a hoarse voice.

I was scared to death to see my ex-fiancé with a bandage on his head.

“Evelyn-sama, step back, there is a suspicious person.”

Theodore-sama is also trying to protect me while keeping a watchful eye on His Highness Alex.

“No, it’s not that, Theodore-sama, it’s…”

“E-Evelyn. This… I’m really sorry. I think about many things…”

He seems to be saying something superficial, but I can’t get it into my head.

(Why is his upper body naked? And his body is in shambles like he landed deep in the savannah…)

I wasn’t too surprised when I saw that his whole body was covered in blood.

Maybe His Highness Igna, who was lying on the floor next to him, had a nosebleed again. It was almost like a murder case.

And while being flanked on both sides by those monstrous brothers, His Highness Oz looked at them expressionlessly.

“Evelyn-sama… Evelyn-sama, if I… don’t see you…. I can’t keep my… Sanity anymore.”

He also mumbles something. I’m scared.

“Your Highness, Alex.”

Of the three princes, I muttered his name in the meantime, because it looked like he was still able to converse.

Suddenly, tears welled up in both of his eyes.

Surprised and perplexed, His Highness Alex repeatedly wiped his eyes with both arms.

“It’s been so long…since I’ve been called by that name that I was a little surprised.”

“Hmm…”

“Yes, exactly… That’s my name…”

“…”

“Good name, Alex… Ha, ha, ha, ha… My name is Alex!”

(What is wrong with this person?)

His Highness Alex was in tears as if overwhelmed by his emotions.

It looked like I would not be able to have a reasonable conversation with him either. After making this decision, I did not look at His Highness Alex, but at the Chief priest behind me.

“Chief Priest. His Highness Alex told me that Mary will be the next Saint.”

The Chief priest, who had been looking at me with a rapt expression on his face, changed his expression.

“But —A miasma has also broken out in Shem, the town next to the Capital. Is Mary still active as a Saint?”

“I’m sorry to have to tell you this. Mary Safka is being held in the royal prison for the heinous crime of posing as a Saint.”

(It was just as I thought…)

When Karin-chan told me that a person who looked like Mary was rioting and pretending to be a Saint, I knew it would end up like that.

I didn’t realize that I had caused so much trouble, not only with my disappearance, but also with my family.

I bowed to the Chief Priest and the priests.

“I’m sorry! My sister has caused you trouble!”

“Of course not! That’s nothing you should apologize for, Evelyn-sama!”

“That’s right!” and the priests behind him did likewise.

The Chief priest then lowered his white eyebrows apologetically.

“…It is our fault that Evelyn-sama had to be expelled from the Great Temple in the first place… And we didn’t even realize how lonely you were until Ropa-chi told us…”

(Who is Ropa-chi!?)

It’s not working. I can’t get anything into my head again.

Next to the Chief priest, a familiar, beautiful girl smiled benevolently at him.

“Chief priest, as a petty being who loves Evelyn-sama, I understand your feelings. It is only natural that you would want to punish and kill those who run wild. I would do the same.”

“Ropa-chi… Thank you, my friend.”

(Ah… so Ropa-chi means Europe-sama!)

Although they had only recently met, Europa-sama already seemed quite at home with the priests.

(But what do I do… I don’t know anything else at all!)

In my panic, I secretly asked Kira, who was sneezing in his spare time.

“Hey, Kira. Did you understand what everyone was saying?”

I know that strange woman is called by a strange nickname.

(That’s great!)

I was very relieved to realize that I had the same understanding as smart Kira.
