Her head of lustrous golden hair, her eyes shining with will. Every gesture she makes is strangely solemn. The saint of divas, Alueno. That's how Mordor, the Lord of Belle Fain, introduced her.
Even though she is a saint, she does not seem to have a very worldly personality when she opens her mouth. In fact, her voice had a tone that made me feel that she was friendly.
And she... She's right in front of Kalia right now. And she's laughing with Mordor and Fialat. Both of them must have seen a kind, friendly woman in her eyes.
But Kalia was different.
When the name Alueno came to her ears. For a moment, her eyes saw not the person who was supposed to be in front of her, but something else entirely.
It was the one she had seen the night before. A figure that he had seen in his silver eyes before.
--The face of Lugis, saying the name Alueno. I'm sure I've seen it before in my silver eyes.
The back teeth creak in my mouth. The teeth that overlapped each other roared and seemed to be about to destroy themselves.
I can't tell you how humiliated I was that night. How many times did the torrent of emotions overflowing from my chest try to wash over my body? Even now, the feeling was clear in Kalia's mind. The thirst that churned in her throat, the emotions that made her eyes burn with green flames.
The person who had made her feel that humiliation was now right in front of her. Kalia felt her fingers tighten unconsciously.
Oh, no. I know. Try reaching for that slender neck right now. Everything crumbles in the palm of your hand.
And just for the record, Kalia wasn't humiliated or belittled by Alueno. It's just that her existence is tormenting Kalia through Lugis.
I know. I know that. The misery that crawls in my chest and everything else, it's really that man that's giving it to me.
My heart boils like a fever. Oh, I can't get away with it, I can't get away with it. I'm sure that man will pay for playing with my breasts and my emotions.
Holding her lips from twitching, Kalia joined in the conversation. For once, she envied Fialaat for being able to smile without knowing anything.
The superiority of knowing one more thing about Lugis. But there was also a sticky feeling that bit at his heart, a feeling that he shouldn't have known if this was the case. The two of them slowly mingled together and covered Kalia's chest in distortion.
"So, what are you two planning to do here in Belle Fain?
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. Kalia breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "Finally.
The euphemism for entertaining a guest and not jumping to conclusions is exactly what a lord and nobleman would do, she thought. I had even heard that this Mordor lord had risen through the ranks, but I wondered if it was his own efforts or his own qualities. I see, he thought, that's exactly how a nobleman should look.
He looked at Fialat, who had been chatting with him. His dark eyes blinked for a moment, as if he were giving a small nod. In response, Kalia's small lips opened.
Yes, we have entered Belfain for one reason only - to track down the shadow of the great sinner, Lugis.
As she said these words, Kalia's silver eyes naturally caught sight of Alueno's figure. And then I saw him.
That stern, almost beautiful gesture. The movement, which until now had shown no sign of collapsing, swayed for a moment. Silver eyes blinked.
It is you, after all. You're the one that Lugis is talking about, the diva saint. Kalia's eyes narrow, a slight glint of ferocity at the edges.
Fialaat opened her mouth to follow up on Kalia's words.
The feelings I have for him are beyond words. I would surely, yes, surely capture him with my own hands. But my power is powerless. I will not be able to catch the beast's tail, not even its shadow.
Hmm, I see. Surely, he wasn't lying. The thought that Fialaat was telling Mordor these words in all sincerity almost made Caria break out into a smile.
She felt like she was being treated to a bad comedy. But it would be enough to convey his feelings to his opponent.
...... Therefore, I have come here in shame to ask for your help, Mr. Mordo. Please help me.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand. There was no deviation in her movements or expression after the momentary agitation she had just experienced. He nodded his head and even seemed to sympathize with Fialaert as if it were natural. Is he that good at transforming? Or could it be...
"Saint Alueno. I'm sure you feel the same way. As a High Priestess, I can't allow such a great sinner.
Kalia said, raising her eyebrows, trying to keep her cheeks from falling. Help me, please. She throws out a question that is sure to elicit only agreement.
The fact that Alueno has shown only a slight reaction since a while ago. It is possible that Lugis' feelings for Alueno are just a one-sided love affair. If that's the case, Kalia thinks it's just right.
If it's only a one-sided love, then it's better to create a great rupture with this land of Belle Fain. It's better for you to be happy, Rougis.
If it's an unfulfilled love anyway, the best medicine is to forget it as a great tragedy. There's nothing to worry about. I'll hold him tightly in my arms at the end of that tragedy. I'll comfort and hold him until he forgets his past thoughts. And in the end, I'll make him rewrite all his past thoughts.
Mordor opened his thick lips to take advantage of Kalia's words.
I'm sure it's a great honor to be recognized as a devout High Priestess in front of a potential High Priestess. If there is truly a great sinner in this city, I will bind him with my own hands. Mordor said grandly.
Fialaat's and Kalia's cheeks twitched involuntarily. Not out loud. Not explicitly. But it's unpleasant. It's very unpleasant to have some stranger whispering about your things as he pleases.
Kalia looks away from Mordor, and then looks at Alueno. It's as if she's agreeing with him, as if she's agreeing with him, as if she's agreeing with him.
There was no difference in Alueno's gesture, his expression, or the twinkle in his eyes. And then, of course, with a very saintly, gentle smile, she opened her mouth.
Yes, of course - I would never choose such a foolish way.

Oh, I see, so you're the same, huh?
Kalia thought she heard something muttering deep in her chest.
