She’s a Saint Who Was Banished for Being a Late Bride, but She’s Being Spoiled to the Fullest by the

Chapter 32: I knew you were a monster

“Your Highness, Oz, you are great…!”

Right after he woke up.

Oz was stunned at the sight of the doctor looking at him, crying.

“Ah… the story of how I got over the pass, or…?”

“No! That’s one thing, but I’m talking about your audience with Evelyn-sama!”

Oz jumped to his feet.

Actually, he couldn’t get up at all because his weakened body couldn’t keep up, but he rose from the bed, shaking violently.

(An audience with Evelyn-sama? Has that person returned to the Royal Capital! ?)

“Tell me more about it…!”

The doctor realized Oz couldn’t remember and gave him a lightning-quick reply.

“His Highness Oz was feeling very unwell, but he had a meeting with the Chief priest, Evelyn, and the others.”

(I don’t remember anything…!)

“H-How did the conversation go?”

“That’s…”

Oz listened to the doctor’s words with wide eyes.

“Evelyn-sama has resigned from her position as a Saint…. She will be taking over that position.”

◇◇◇

“Evelyn-sama. I see you are here.”

Turning around, I saw Europa-sama standing there with an extremely dainty smile on her face.

The Great Temple has several healing rooms for the Saints, who must spend several years almost exclusively in this place.

I rested on a balcony overlooking a small waterfall at the back of the room.

“If I stay with the Chief priests, I will cry all the time…. I thought I’d stay alone for a while.”

“Ara, you can let him cry as much as you want.”

Europa-sama shrugs her shoulders.

Today Europa-sama and I had a meeting with His Highness Oz, who keeps mumbling confused things, and the Chief priest.

Therefore, it was decided that Europa-sama will succeed me as the eighteenth Saint of the Holy Land of Snazil.

(I was aware of Europa-sama’s talents from the beginning…).

In my case, I was able to find out Kira’s true identity through a special [Analysis] that could even read the injured person’s memories.

Europa-sama saw at first sight that Kira is a demon.

Therefore, I believe that she has a very fine sense of the presence of demons —The miasma.

(I am sure she will become a much better Saint than me…).

The Chief priest was also against this idea at first, but he must have noticed Europa’s talent. In the end, he agreed.

Europa herself had used all her words to convince the Chief priest and His Highness Oz.

“Why did Europa-sama say that she would take over as the Saint?”

I asked while listening to the sound of the waterfall in the distance.

She propped her hands on the balcony railing and looked at me.

Yes —At the same time that I said I would stop being a Saint, Europa-sama herself said she would become a Saint.

(Because being a Saint is not all fun and games).

Every day, much of the time must be devoted to prayer rituals, and there is little freedom in life.

For Europa-sama, who had been carefully raised as a duchess, it could be even more painful.

It looked like I was forcing this attitude on Europa-sama, and I was concerned about it, but Europa-sama put her index finger on her chin and tilted her Chief slightly.

“Yes… There are two main reasons.”

Then she raised a finger.

“First, there is only one person in the world who can inherit the title of Saint from Evelyn-sama.”

“That is… Yes, that’s right.”

“I can be the only one. To be handed the baton directly by the person I love is the best thing that could happen to me as the captain of the Evelyn-sama Fan Club! I’m not stupid enough to let this chance slip away!”

“I understand…”

(I don’t understand…)

“And secondly, and this is just a side note, if I become a Saint, I can postpone my marriage to His Highness Igna. I call that a blessing in disguise. In the meantime, if he dies of blood loss, we will make a fortune.”

(His Highness Igna…!)

With tears in my eyes, I imagined His Highness Igna being carried into the infirmary on a stretcher.

Europa-sama looked rapt for a while, but then suddenly a shadow appeared on her face.

“But… Evelyn-sama. I’m really worried.”

“Huh?”

“Evelyn-sama and the previous Saints were very respected people. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to fulfill my role as well as you guys…”

While rubbing her thin shoulders with both hands, Europa-sama sniffled a little.

I looked at her and remembered something new.

(That’s right… She may say and do crazy things, but Europa-sama is only a seventeen-year-old girl.)

She is eleven years younger than me. Also, she must have felt uncomfortable about suddenly being a Saint, even though she was acting normal.

I gently put my hand on her shoulder.

“It’s all right, Europa-sama.”

“Evelyn-sama…?”

“I will ask the Chief priest to let me come to the Great Temple at least once a month!”

To be honest, I’m a bit scared of Europa-sama, but she seems to like me, so maybe that will calm her down a bit.

Europa-sama’s expression, however, has not brightened at all.

“I’m so lonely… I feel like I’m being crushed… The fact that Evelyn-sama, such a great Saint, only teaches me once a month…”

(Europa-sama!)

I can’t help but swoon at the sight of her sweet eyes shining moistly.

(Maybe I was wrong about you, Europa-sama!).

Creepy, weird, crazy, what a horrible way to think about her.

And more and more I couldn’t leave her alone.

“Yes, yes, of course! Then a few times a month—”

“More!”

“About four times a month?”

“More!”

“…Once a week…”

“That won’t satisfy me!”

I muttered nervously.

“……Every day……?”

“Yahhooooou !!!!”

Europa-sama let out an unladylike cry.

“I did it… I did it! I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long! !”

(Hiii-!!)

I felt weak in the face of the monster that had finally revealed itself to me.

Even in the darkness of the night, Europa-sama’s bloodshot eyes shone brightly, staring at me as if she were watching her prey.

““(Inhale)(exhale)…My personal Evelyn-sama, both in name and in reality…

(Scary!)

There, he stood protectively in front of me as I continued to tremble unsteadily.

It was Theodore-sama who gallantly appeared.

“Stop it, Europa! I’ve been listening to you for quite a while now, and you’re just trying to get Evelyn-sama to give you her word—”

Europa-sama pushed Theodore-sama away from her with all her might.

“Uwa-!”

Theodore-sama falls head first through the balcony.

A loud splash of water sounded from below, but without paying attention, Europa-sama crawled closer to me.

A startlingly well-dressed girl’s face emerged from her long, tangled hair, and she smiled at me as if licking my face.

“Evelyn-sama.”

“Yes…”

“We’re going to be together for… a long, long time… right?”

(Kira! Help me, Kira!)

I called out in my mind the name of the boy I could rely on.

I was so terrified that my consciousness was cut off at that moment.
