Chapter 93: CH 93

“Saintess… Why are you here…”

Camilla, who opened the door at the sound of a knock, couldn’t speak while looking surprise when she realized it was me standing in front of the door.

I slightly smiled at her innocent eyes.

“I came to visit a friend, isn’t that the case today?”

Camilla seemed to be watching me for a while, then she opened the door.

Her room was exactly the same as the one I had been in before.

I sat down on the chair I had been sitting on before, and in my field of vision there was a small Raid statue on her desk.

Camilla stood there with an awkward smile.

“I got a note from Sir Reihausd.”

I almost didn’t notice. That someone had elaborately imitated Reihas’s handwriting.

“It tells me to come to the fifth pillar of the hall.”

“Ah, yes…”

Camilla replied with a puzzled look, as if she didn’t know what I was talking about.

“If I had gone, what would have been waiting for me… What do you think, Camilla?”

She said, looking ignorant.

“…Uh, I’m not sure. I don’t know what you mean. Did someone try to trap the Saintess by any chance?”

Camilla is as beautiful, bright and kind as the original novel I read, so I was fooled for a moment.

She must be a really good main lead.

However, as Reihausd said, there may be a more distorted valley behind the overly good thing.

“Camilla.”

I got up from the chair and stood facing her. I could see the green eyes flickering.

“I thought of you as a friend for a moment.”

At my words, I saw her expression harden and the corners of her lips tremble.

“Saintess… I just don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Did you say that you always avoided Heinz? Yet in Ares, the story was different.”

I obtained the information through Cass.

“You stuck with Heinz like you’re soulmates. I heard that you were the Chief Priest’s only henchman.”

Heinz appeared to be digging into Reihausd’s background and trying to find his weakness. And so did Camilla, who paid attention to Reihausd.

I asked her coldly.

“You and Heinz sent Reihausd’s man, Vatos, to kill me, and he tried to harm me again today.”

After rummaging through Vatos’s belongings, they found Heinz’s check.

I wasn’t shocked as I had experienced a lot of people who smiled brightly and then hit me in the back in my past life.

“What’s your identity? Camilla.”

Camilla clenched her fists and lowered her head. And then, her lips slightly opened.

“…Haha. Why would you ask when you know?”

At that moment, I felt goosebumps running down my back.

The feeling I felt when I saw her saving the Golden Crowns.

Soon, Camilla raised a surprisingly expressionless face.

“I’m the real saintess.”

The soft look on her face I knew was gone.

She’s just a cold woman standing there with a surprisingly cold expression on her face. Yet it didn’t surprise me any more.

I looked at her and pursed my lips.

“You’ve finally showed your true colors, Camilla.”

***

That night, the temple was overturned.

First, it was because Saintess Ariel had disappeared, and second, because Reihausd attacked and tried to kill Camilla.

All of the waiting knights were deployed to subdue him.

Camilla’s room was still noisy.

“How is Sir Reihausd?”

Her anxious eyes made Heinz reassure her.

“He’s resting in his room. Of course, for safety reasons, he’s tied up, but…”

Camilla tucked her long hair behind her ears and stepped forward.

“I need to see him right now.”

“Miss Camilla. There are a lot of eyes now, so it’s better to stay still and not act rashly…”

Camilla’s eyes turned wild in an instant. It was completely different from her usual shining eyes.

“Please don’t worry. I did my best.”

Camilla glared at Heinz’s flashing bald head and sat down in her chair.

A dark shadow was cast over her fine brows.

“…That sly fake. Ariel.”

It tasted bitter as she remembered Ariel’s face.

She didn’t fall into the trap of the note, but she was able to deal with the fake saintess by herself.

However, Reihausd was outside the door. In a desperate situation, if Heinz hadn’t attacked him with the Paladins, she would have been in big trouble.

“Please release a wanted order. Now that things have happened like this, we need to move quickly.”

“But the entire Empire and the temple are highly praised for the Saintess, which has the opposite effect.”

Camilla lifted one of her hands and put it on her other arm. Then, a severe stab wound appeared on the surface of the arm.

Surprised, Heinz’s eyes widened.

“The justification is up to the making.”

Despite the serious wound, her expression was calm.

Heinz, who was looking at Camilla’s wound and face, nodded and opened his mouth.

“In the Ares mine, a fallen saintess, who got her power from the Demon Realm, seriously injured Saintess Camilla and attracted the High Priest then ran away. The current saintess is very dangerous, that should be enough.”

Heinz was a shrewd man. Except for his failure this time, he deserved credit.

“We must find Ariel.”

Camilla wasn’t perfect yet. It was a side effect that she had as she came here 4 years earlier.

It was indispensable to Camilla that Ariel took ‘it’.

She should have noticed from the moment Ariel entered her room. That Ariel was after the item.

“She must be found and brought back.”

Ariel was over her head on the subject of a fake saintess. She thought she was fooled by her fake appearance, yet how did she know?

Camilla lowered her eyes. She then closed her eyes as if she was praying. She had her eyelashes quivering.

***

I think I walked for more than a few hours in the dark. I didn’t even know if it was daylight or not.

When was this aisle created? As I walked with many thoughts, at some point I saw a faint light in front of me.

The light drew nearer very slowly.

When the thickening light had grown sufficiently large and strong, I could see that it was the end of the passage.

Cool breeze was blowing.

As I barely stepped out of the aisle, a refreshing energy suddenly enveloped me.

“Here is…”

It was clearly a field where you could tell that it wasn’t the temple.

As I looked around, a chat window flashed before my eyes.

[The oracle has been reactivated.]

As expected, my prediction was correct.

I didn’t come all the way here to run away.

It was to get them back.

[Garden 6/6]

[The God of Justice, Hetuse, runs.]

[The God of Knowledge, Hessed, examines your condition.]

[The God of Destruction, Ciel, uses ‘Response’ on you.]

[The God of Love, Odyssey, blesses you.]

[The God of Art, Mond, is looking after you.]

[The God of Benevolence, Oman, vents his anger on ■■■ ■■.]

“I missed you.”

[The God of Justice, Hetuse, looks at you with warm eyes.]

[The God of Knowledge, Hessed, is staring at you.]

[The God of Destruction, Ciel, wags his tail.]

[The God of Art, Mond, is delighted.]

[The God of Benevolence, Oman, winks.]

As if the Gods were responding to my words, the chat window flashed. And after a while, a new phrase came to mind.

[The Gods are holding an emergency meeting.]

[The Gods protest against the series of events and request the intervention of the system.]

“Wait a minute.”

[4] [3] [2]

Before I had time to organize my thoughts, the number decreased.

[1]

Then it became dark and I lost consciousness.

When I open my eyes again…

“Ooh, have you come to your senses?”

I was in a space I had been before.
