"......Your Majesty?" Belrocan asked in startled surprise. "She's not well, so it would be better for her to sleep where holy power resides." "Ah, ah! Yes, Your Majesty. I'll have it prepared." Belrocan tried to defuse the frozen situation with an awkward smile. "Hahaha. You'll have to work with me all night anyway, Your Majesty." "That's true." Ratius glanced at Belrocan and nodded slightly. "I'll put Selvia to bed and come to the office, so wait there." "Understood." "Tell…-

Selvia's mood lifted as they galloped through the vast forest. The two raced through the forest path, alternating positions as if competing. Cutting through the wind as they rode made her feel as if her mind was clearing. After riding for a while, they only stopped when they discovered the forest where darkness had settled. While they took a brief rest, Grand Duke Hippocan appeared with his knights, having followed behind them. "Whoa, whoa." Perhaps because the darkness-settled…

......Stop. Stop, I must stop. Selvia's nails dug into Ratius's skin. "Hah......" Yet Ratius didn't stop. Though he surely noticed Selvia's signal, he pressed his body even closer. He seemed to give her a slight gap to breathe, considering her breathlessness, but then pushed against her again. Holy power endlessly flowed in, filling Selvia's body. And as if sensing that Selvia's body had improved, the shadows also slowly began to increase in volume. "Rati...... u… s." His name,…

"What happened today will be unforgettable for the rest of my life. Our house will help the Marquis as much as we can." Grand Duke Hippocan's support would be a great help to Selvia. "Thank you." Though it might have been somewhat excessive, Selvia didn't dislike his goodwill. Rather, she felt relieved that he had taken her side. Though it was temporary, he was a capable person who was keeping the collapsing Decan region from falling apart while also receiving the full support of the Borche…

Amon sharply turned his head. Something felt odd. 'I feel like someone is watching me.' Things had been strange since Ratius suddenly called him and gave him odd tasks. "Suddenly telling me to examine the prophecy in the temple." Wouldn't it be better to just say he's annoying and tell him to stay at the temple? It was certainly to prevent him from attending the dinner. 'Is he that anxious?' Amon couldn't understand. Even if he had heard everything while pretending to sleep, it was…

Knock knock knock. "Your Majesty, I heard Marquis Borche has regained consciousness. May I enter?" It was Grand Duke Hippocan's voice. Selvia adjusted her posture and sat upright to receive him. "Marquis. I'm so relieved. How worried we were......" He immediately checked Selvia's condition. Though still pale, her complexion had improved since she collapsed. "Has the lake been connected to the irrigation system?" "Yes, work is underway immediately. Thanks to you, the farmers' faces are…

"This is the place." The condition of the lake they arrived at was worse than expected. From the bare trees around to its color alone, it looked impossible to revive. "Can you revive it?" Hippocan asked without hope in his voice. Selvia bent down and put her hand in the lake. 'The inside is still okay though......' It would strain her body, but there was no other way. After confirming that the shadow had returned to her side, she pulled the dark energy from the…

Ratius, who had changed into neat clothes, plopped down not across from Selvia but right beside her. Startled, she shifted slightly to the side. Swiftly pulling her back to close the distance, Ratius pointed at the documents. "It's easier to look at documents together like this than sitting face to face." "I don't think we need to sit this close." "Ah, my throat hurts right now so I can't speak loudly." His whispered voice in her ear made her body jolt. Her skin prickled at his moist…

"......Is this really okay?" Hadn't he been sensitive about meeting Amon? Selvia made eye contact with Amon, not understanding. But he too just blinked, indicating he didn't know. Selvia responded with a disgruntled face. "If the temple comes along, it will help since people won't be as wary of me as a stranger." "If you're happy with it, then I am too." Ratius tucked Selvia's hair behind her ear and smiled softly. Then he said kindly, "I have something to discuss with the High Priest,…

With that as the start, the black power around her shadow gradually grew in volume. Charlotte's body trembled from an unknown force. Selvia no longer needed to hide her power. Rather, showing it openly was the most efficient way of persuasion. Since Ratius had seen the prophecy and chosen her, now she needed to show that she was the chosen one herself. "N-not the power of light." "This looks like...... darkness as black as pitch." The frightened nobles stepped back hesitantly. At the…
