Chapter 35: 35

Hearing those words, Kylian looked at me again. The softened eyes I had seen with me in the rain had now turned completely cold. Why did I get framed like this?

“I believe I only shared my divine power and energy to save the High Priest of Death. Why am I now being accused of attempted murder?”

“…….”

“Your Majesty.”

Rather, Kylian was calm, and it was Phileal who seemed to be agitated. Phileal made eye contact with me with a look I had never seen before, and he immediately averted his gaze with a confused face, like someone who had been told something nonsense.

“Phileal.”

“…….”

 

“Tell me what the situation is.”

I asked him. But Phileal did not look at me again.

“Why are you standing still? Quickly transfer your energy to my wife.”

“Why do you need my energy?”

“Because I’m going horseback riding with my wife.”

It was clear that he really didn’t like me as he was just taking my energy for something like that. How many times has she been given energy and still passed out? Well, to him now, things like Lilith’s energy might not be something he cares about. Even though they used to be colleagues.

“Your Majesty.”

“Shut up.”

“Your Majesty! If you want to take my divine energy, please tell me the reason before that!”

“Shut her mouth.”

“Yes.”

“Your Majesty! Your…! Uhp…!”

My mouth was covered with a cloth. When I tried to yell, the cloth didn’t come out perhaps because they had cast a silence spell.

“I’ll release this later, Lilith.”

Phileal said that while looking at me who had my mouth blocked by another priest’s hand.

“Lilith.”

“…….”

He finally looked at me, and he was really looking at me with an expression on the verge of crying. Does he really think I’m guilty too? Why? Did he forget that we went to save the high priest together?

Besides, it was Phileal who took me, who had passed out, to the empress’ palace. I have been with him since I woke up.

No way. Did Phileal conspire with them to do this? However, there was no way he would do such a thing to the high priest, whom he cherished so much. Besides, the look on Phileal’s face when the high priest was said to have drunk poison.

That bewilderment and fear. It couldn’t even have been acting. If it was acting, he would have to quit being a priest and become an actor.

“Do it quickly.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Phileal came over and took my hand. Then the other priests raised me up and put me inside the magic circle. Then, my body, Anais, looked back at Kylian as if scared, and she stood at the top of the magic circle as he led her.

“Kylian.”

“Yes, Wife.”

“I’m scared.”

“It’s okay, Wife. Don’t worry.”

Kylian was smiling as he held Anais’ hand in a friendly voice I had never heard before.

“Is this really okay?”

“Yes.”

He smiled like the sun and tucked Anais’ hair behind her ear as she stood on top of the magic circle. Anais was smiling shyly, showing her blushing cheeks. She was wearing loose, ruffled clothes that didn’t fit her very well.

“After you get your energy, I’ll go pick out some riding clothes.”

“Great. I’ll wear anything that ho, honey picks out for me.”

“Honey… Yes. That’s good.”

Kylian was laughing with a shy expression, perhaps because he was happy to be called ‘Honey’. It felt so strange. My chest was tight, so I looked at Phileal, and he also looked at me and then averted his gaze.

“Start.”

Phileal must’ve thought that listening to the conversation between the two of them was hard, so he was drawing my divine energy and activating the magic circle.

However, it seems that his suspicion of me was not so serious. Or perhaps it was because of the little pity he had developed over time, the energy that escaped from me was flowing weakly, like a trickle from a hole in a bag filled with water that’s been pricked by a mere needle.

“…….”

As the magic circle shone, I could see divine power flowing into Anais’ body. Before long, her blue hair looked paler in the light. Suddenly, I met Anais’s eyes, and she looked at me and smiled.

“Are you okay, Wife?”

“Yes. Receiving this gives me strength.”

“That’s a relief.”

Seeing Kylian sigh in relief, I feel like I have to look elsewhere.

“I’d like to ask to do it faster, Second Bishop.”

“…Yes.”

Perhaps Phileal couldn’t help it, he increased the amount of divine energy. In such a short time of less than five minutes, I once again had no strength left in my body. The body, which was about to collapse, was limp as if it would fall straight if the priests weren’t holding on to me.

“Now release the gag on her mouth.”

“Yes, Bishop.”

One of the priests holding my body from both sides undid the cloth caught in my mouth. When I looked at it while unwrapping it, as expected, a magic circle for a silence spell was drawn in it.

“Your Majesty, I am not the culprit.”

“…….”

“Couldn’t you just tell me why you thought it was me?”

Right before passing out, my eyelids began to flow uncontrollably. My eyelids were very heavy, and my body was so heavy too that I felt like I was about to tip over.

“You are shameless.”

“…….”

“Take her. Shut her mouth again.”

“Keep her mouth free. If the Saintess is in danger, we will be in trouble too.”

When Phileal said that, Kylian frowned and glared at him.

“You’re so foolish to get tricked. Well, so you must have been fooled.”

“…….”

“Honey.”

“Yes, Wife.”

“Let’s go now. I think I can really ride a horse because I have a lot of strength!”

I couldn’t get used to my bright voice. There was no dignified appearance like the Young Duke. She just looks excited.

I couldn’t see any of the things I’d painstaking;y built as Anais.

“Your Majesty, even with open eyes, you are blind.”

“Take her to jail. I can’t stand her any longer?”

“Haha.”

I laughed out loud and then he glared at me. Then he took Anais’ hand and went outside.

“Phileal.”

“Yes…”

I looked at him, wanting to ask what was going on. But I didn’t have too much energy. I felt like I really was about to collapse, so I didn’t have the strength to speak anymore. At that time, Phileal looked at the priests and told them to leave.

“All out.”

“But, Bishop…”

“I’ll take care of it, so go away.”

“But…”

“Do you want to be absorbed alive?”

“Oh, we’re leaving!”

“Yes! We’ll go out!”

As the two priests left, the priests around them also took notice and left. After everyone left, it was only the two of us. Phileal put his hand on my neck and shared his energy. Both of us were sitting on the floor, so it was somehow desolate.

“Phileal.”

“Yes.”

“I really don’t understand this situation?”

“…Yes.”

The energy that ran through the hand that touched my neck was a little strange. Although Lewarren believed in the goddess of destruction, the divine powers were fundamentally similar. However, I felt a little different depending on each god, but the god of death’s divine power was a cloudy energy.

Maybe it’s because my body has gotten used to it. As I could feel what I didn’t feel before and realized things that I only knew in theory.

“I got caught in the rain with His Majesty, stayed with you, and then went to the Empress’s Palace. Is my memory correct up to that point?”

“…Yes.”

“Then you came not long after I woke up at the Empress’s Palace. This too?”

“The time you were asleep was half a day.”

“…….”

But when I opened my eyes, he was right there.

“So you’re saying I tried to poison the High Priest while I was asleep?”

“I didn’t believe it at first either.”

Gradually, as my strength returned, the strength went into my fingers as well. As I slowly moved away from my forehead resting on his shoulder, I saw his expression. As expected, he may be a child-like person.

“Please explain in detail. Please, Phileal. You promised to grant my wish if I helped save the High Priest.”

“…….”

I didn’t want to use it like this. It was just something I spit out thinking that if I put a debt to Phileal, I would need it someday. Even if it wasn’t for that anyway, I would have helped him if I could.

The high priest must be alive to be persuaded, and I will return to my real body and convince Kylian. No matter what this body said, it seemed that Kylian wouldn’t believe it.

“That day, after you passed out, I took you to the Empress’s Palace.”

“Yes.”

“A lot of people saw it. At that time, even His Majesty saw it…”

“I see.”

As if hesitating to speak, he pursed his lips and sighed before meeting my eyes. The black priest’s uniform and red robe still went well with him. But he also didn’t seem to suit his snow-white silver hair.

“So I was about to leave you at the Empress’s Palace…”

“Yes.”

He kept pausing his words, urging me to reply.

“I wrapped you in a blanket because you were so wet that I couldn’t leave you alone.”

“…….”

“But at that time, the High Priest Lewarren Iphigenia was nowhere to be seen.”

Come to think of it, where did Lewarren go? When I first heard that the high priest drank poison, I was afraid that Lewarren might be the culprit. He is the high priest of the goddess of destruction. He was the most beloved being of the Goddess Roseraine.

Goddess Roseraine has the deepest grudge against the god of death. Goddess Julias and Goddess Roseraine were the gods who divided the power of the god of death into several and even sealed it themselves. So it was not strange for Lewarren, the servant of the goddess Roseraine, to kill the high priest of death even if he had no grudge.

Bishops and priests. They were God’s servants, and it was their virtue and pride to carry out God’s will without argument.

“The High Priest of Destruction is a dangerous person, so I went looking for him.”

“…….”

“After a while, Leviathan said he found his location, so I went straight to you.”

“…….”

“But it’s been said that… you are the one who poisoned the High Priest.”

“Who said that?”

He lowered his bright red eyes back to the floor and struggled to open his mouth.

 

“The High Priest of Death. When he woke up… he said he saw you put something in his tea.”
