‘I’m positive the Saint requested to fulfill after sundown, proper?’
Fortuitously, after speeding to prepare, there was nonetheless a while left. So Damia determined to exit slightly earlier, as was the customized of Northerns, and wait.
The assembly place was the ‘Corridor of Religion.’ It was a prayer chamber within the royal palace, constructed on the suggestion of the ‘religious’ the Aristocracy faction who adopted the Excessive Temple.
‘It’s proof that the neoclassical aristocrats are gaining energy.’
Conceivably Crown Prince Heinrich wished to eliminate this ‘Corridor of Religion’ by some means. And it was the identical for Damia.
To implement this, she hastened her steps even additional. An extended shadow all of a sudden blocked her as she was heading to her assembly place.
“Damia.”
“… … It’s a shock to see you right here.”
Damia, startled, patted her coronary heart in an try to settle down. Then, she retorted to the tall younger man standing in her method.
“You stunned me, Kael. What’s occurring?”
Was it as a result of she was pondering of Akkard earlier than leaving the mansion? For a second, she thought it was him, and her coronary heart leaped.
Damia felt fortunate that it wasn’t him however Kael, however was puzzled.
‘Why are you right here anyway? Did the Saint ship you to fulfill me?’
Damia now totally regarded him as an appendage of the Saint. In reality, Kael acted like that too.
Nonetheless, it appears he had come to Damia for an additional objective.
“Can I speak to you for a second?”
Kael requested in a low voice whereas trying round nervously. She would have gladly accepted the proposition earlier than, however now was not the time.
“A minute.”
Damia took out her pocket watch with a proper perspective. And quietly shook her head.
“I’m sorry, I’m going to fulfill the Saint quickly. I don’t wish to maintain her ready.”
She thought that Kael would again down if she stated this. It will be outrageous to dare to make his Saint wait.
“It actually solely takes a second.”
However as a substitute of retreating, Kael took her hand and pulled her alongside slightly off the trail.
“What are you doing, Kael?”
Damia frowned and twisted the hand he held. She felt offended that Kael’s method indicated that he thought she was nonetheless acutely aware of him.
He launched her hand and raised an sudden query:
“What are you doing with Callistea as we speak?”
“Didn’t she let you know?”
Damia requested, puzzled. As an alternative of answering, he shut his mouth and blushed. Seeing this, Damia was much more stunned.
“You actually haven’t heard something from the Saint?”
Then, he bit his lips laborious.
Removed from giving him even a touch, Callistea dismissed him from his place of being her guard this morning. And she or he even drove him away, telling him to return to the North.
‘From as we speak on, others will take over your duties, Sir Kael. I’m sorry, however please return to the Excessive Temple.’
‘What? Callistea-nim, what… … .’
Her phrases have been like a bolt from the blue. He turned white. He had actually sacrificed every part for Callistea.
Abandoning all of the pleasures of the world, he joined the Holy Paladin Order, and at her command, he risked his life to rescue Cesare.
‘However now, she tells me to return to the Excessive Temple!’
Kael protested vehemently, however Callistea prevented his gaze and ordered him firmly.
‘Sorry. However if you’re really dedicated to me, do as I say.’
After all, Kael, who was solely a paladin, dared not refuse her orders.
Furthermore, subsequent to Callistea, different holy knights of the Excessive Temple arrived at daybreak yesterday. Subsequently, if Kael didn’t go away, she might very nicely use pressure to banish him.
So Kael was pushed to return to his room and pack his issues. However when he was about to depart, he couldn’t bear to go.
So, he held onto Damia, hoping she would inform him what was taking place. Fortuitously, quick-witted Damia seen the peculiar air in his silence.
‘It appears that evidently there’s something incorrect with the Saint.’
She had seen that though Kael was wholly devoted and displayed overflowing loyalty, it appeared that he was not trusted. So he tried to magnify his dedication and show it to the Saint.
‘He used me within the course of.’
It appeared that he actually solely had Callistea in his head. Damia realized it in her bones and smiled bitterly.
Apparently, the boy she had beloved, as candy as sunshine, had disappeared fully. So she didn’t really feel responsible about mendacity to Kael’s face.
“Sorry, the Saint advised me to not inform anybody else.”
She shrugged, mumbling, ‘Wasn’t he near her?’ It was a press release that sealed his lips even additional, and he couldn’t give a solution.
However he couldn’t step down like this. So he requested concerning the subject that troubled him essentially the most and had been on his thoughts all alongside.
“Then inform me only one factor, Damia. What’s Cesare… … What’s his relationship with Callistea-nim?”
Possibly Damia, his step-sister, would know. He had hoped for a solution, however she calmly denied it with a smile.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know both.”
She had guesses, nevertheless it was nonetheless an unconfirmed conjecture. So she couldn’t inform Kael.
‘I nonetheless have to observe my tongue.’
Pretending to be clueless and harmless, she lowered her gaze and checked her pocket watch. Now it was actually time to fulfill Callistea.
“Kael, I actually should go now.”
“… … .”
“Kael?”
One thing felt odd. Damia appeared up at him and was about to scrutinize his expression. However all of a sudden, robust fingers grabbed her shoulders and shook her backwards and forwards, shouting:
“You liar!! Inform me—inform me now!!”
“Wh—what? Have you ever gone insane?!”
“Do you assume I don’t know what you’re as much as? Damia, you—You’re doing this on objective to hijack the connection between me and Callistea-nim!!
