There is No Way the Saintess Would Betray Me

“… Ufufu, you should never be too complacent, Your Highness Harold, everyone.” (Christia)

Christia grinned, curling the corner of her lips, and cast a skill of unknown effect… at me… Uly… and Liliana.

This skill… Could it be!?

“Saintess-sama!” (Harold)

“Now, Wilfred-dono, with this, the battle is decided. All that’s left is to trample them.” (Christia)

Christia placed her hand on her chest and elegantly bowed. Even as she did so, Carla did not stop her attack, and I was unable to keep up.

“Ah, Christia… As expected, you shine more at my side than by that man’s side.” (Wilfred)

Wilfred wore a blissful expression and walked toward Christia, but then…

“Ufufu, thank you. But right now, we’re in the middle of battle. Rather than concern yourself with me, you should eliminate these people first.” (Christia)

“Cough… R-Right.” (Wilfred)

Wilfred, who was clearly rejected with a smile, cleared his throat and drew the Heroic Great Sword Caletvwlch from its scabbard, turning not to Liliana and the others, but to me.

“After all, it’s quicker to dispose of you first, with Carla. My brother Harold, you should quietly become the rust on my sword.” (Wilfred)

“Are you an idiot? Where did the plan to make it look like an accident go?” (Harold)

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it as an accident without a problem. However… it will be an accident caused by… the murderous blade of a comrade!” (Wilfred)

Wilfred pointed the tip of his sword and charged toward me.

He had glanced toward Uly for a moment, so it seems the ‘murderous blade of a comrade’ he referred to was meant to make Uly the culprit. After all, Uly’s family, the House of Margrave Stone, were descendants of the Nord people who once ruled Brint Island.

If it’s framed as an act of revenge due to long-held grudges, no one would suspect Uly. That’s exactly the kind of thing this guy would think of. But…

“!?!” (Wilfred)

“You really think it will go that smoothly?” (Harold)

Instead of blocking Wilfred’s sword, I knocked it away with my shield.

I, the weakest in physical attack in ‘Enhaz’, was able to do this.

“W-What!? Even though I became stronger since that time a year ago! Even if Harold also grew in the same way, there’s no way you should have the strength to knock me back!” (Wilfred)

“Well, yeah. Normally… I couldn’t do this. But… this isn’t just my strength.” (Harold)

With that, I turned to look at Christia.

By now, Carla had already stopped her attack.

“Well… Saintess-sama’s ability is truly amazing. Even someone like me, with her help, can have my abilities boosted this much.” (Harold)

“Ufufu, thank you.” (Christia)

Christia smiled at me, her eyes, which had lost their light earlier, now shining with brilliance.

“W-What’s going on!? Didn’t Christia seal Harold and the others’ abilities!?” (Wilfred)

“Of course not. What I gave to Harold-dono and the others was the [Blessing of the War God]. Right now, you all have three times the usual physical strength.” (Christia)

Wilfred, raising his voice in confusion, was deliberately explained to by Christia as if she were unaware.

“T-That’s not what I mean! Didn’t you receive Lalanoa’s power and follow me…!?” (Wilfred)

“Oh my! Are you saying that I, a Saintess, would resort to such despicable tactics? …This will certainly not be overlooked by the Baltiaan Holy Kingdom after this practical exam ends.” (Christia)

“!? A-Ah, no…” (Wilfred)

As Wilfred showed a surprised expression, Christia spoke with a cold voice. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Wilfred stumbled over his words.

Now, when I learned about Wilfred’s team composition, it was obvious that Lalanoa would try to brainwash Christia and the others with [Fairies’ Mischief]. That’s why I whispered to Christia beforehand. Before joining Wilfred’s team, I told her to activate [Aegis Shield]. Her unique skill, [Aegis Shield], not only reduces damage from physical and magical attacks but also nullifies all status abnormalities.

What’s more, unlike Lalanoa’s [Fairies’ Mischief], once activated, [Aegis Shield] lasts for the entire battle. Since it can be used in combination with other skills, it’s almost a cheat skill. So, Christia and Carla were in their right minds from the start.

“And so… how do you plan to deal with this blunder? Not only did you try to control me, but you also tried to have your own brother, the third prince Harold-dono, killed. Do you really think a life like yours can atone for that?” (Christia)

“U…” (Wilfred)

Wilfred groaned in response to Christia’s undeniable voice.

“W-Wait! It was I who tried to brainwash you, not Wil-sama…!” (Lalanoa)

“I see. So, the Shelwood Kingdom intends to make an enemy of the Holy Kingdom… Is that what you’re saying?” (Christia)

“Ah… u… ugh…” (Lalanoa)

The Baltian Holy Kingdom has followers all over the world. The small Shelwood Kingdom, with only the Forest of Light as its territory, has no hope of standing against them. It seems Wilfred has only now realized the foolishness of his actions, with his homeland on the verge of ruin. But even though she was a victim of Wilfred, I will never forgive her. The woman who tried to brainwash my ‘precious people’ will never be forgiven by me.

“Either way, Wilfred tried to take my life and, with Lalanoa Erin here, tried to brainwash Saintess Christia. Don’t think you’ll get away with this.” (Harold)

“…” (Wilfred)

“W-What should I do, Wil-sama…?” (Lalanoa)

Lalanoa clung to Wilfred, who hung his head silently. We sent them cold, disdainful glares.

Then…

“… There’s no problem.” (Wilfred)

“Wi-Wil-sama…?” (Lalanoa)

“There’s no problem. If I dispose of everyone here, no one will ever know the truth.” (Wilfred)

Wilfred raised his head and lifted the corner of his lips.
