Kylan stepped into the Duke of Diat’s mansion for the first time in a long time.

It wasn’t Shailene who called or came to see Shailene.

The reason he came here today was none other than to meet Benjamin and Bartholomew.

“Welcome, Duke.”

“Hello. How have you been?”

Benjamin patted his shoulder affectionately as he greeted him warmly.

But as soon as Bartholomew opened his mouth, the atmosphere quickly became serious.

“The reason I wanted to see you today is because I wanted to share with you what we’ve discovered while investigating the heresy list.”

Kylan’s face hardened slightly with tension. This must be the real reason why my parents were killed.

“Please tell me.”

“You are aware that His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Priest are listed on the heretic list, right?”

“yes.”

“It seems that when His Majesty was the crown prince, he accompanied me on a pilgrimage to the temple and came into contact with the chief minister at the time.”

It is no coincidence that the Emperor and the Prime Minister are listed side by side.

Bartholomew and Benjamin’s search for a connection between the two takes them back decades into the past.

“A retired priest who participated in the pilgrimage said that at the time, there were many rumors that the two seemed to be close.”

However, he was quickly buried as the next prime minister to the next emperor. It would be a shame to get caught up in something and have any flaws found.

“If the relationship started from that time, then he may have believed in heresy for quite some time. It is also highly likely that he did not simply believe in it.”

“In fact, it has been discovered that some of the temples were in collusion with demon followers and were conducting strange experiments on young priests.”

Benjamin also showed the relevant documents he had collected with great difficulty to Kyleon.

As he received this and examined it, Kylan’s straight forehead gradually became wrinkled.

“It seems that they forcibly injected demonic power into those with strangely high sexual powers.”

If the goal was simply corruption, it would have been better to target those with low stamina.

However, strangely enough, only the apprentice priests with high stamina were selected.

“There must be another purpose. Something bigger than making you a heretic.”

Bartholomew nodded in agreement and opened his mouth softly.

“And, coincidentally, the birthplace of the Archimandrite Raviello is also the place of pilgrimage where His Majesty the Emperor and the Archimandrite first met.”

“I heard that he was a commoner orphan, but I found out that there is no orphanage in that pilgrimage site.”

Benjamin chimed in. They too were very concerned that Raviello, who had been a very young boy a dozen years earlier, had been put on the heretic list.

Even if his parents were heretics, that would be possible, but as we all know, Raviello was born a common orphan.

“But how did you end up in an orphanage under the central shrine? And as a trainee priest at that?”

It means that someone discovered his powers and sent him to the central temple, but Raviello’s whereabouts before he actually entered the temple were mysterious.

He had not been in a foster home, nor had he come from another orphanage.

Literally one day, out of the blue, I came into the Shinto orphanage.

“That’s all we’ve found out so far.”

“… … I see. Thank you for letting me know.”

Kylean bowed his head politely. He knew that he had no reason to do this, but that it was just a thoughtful gesture.

They agreed to share more information they learned about each other in the future and left the meeting.

As he was heading out, Kyleon stopped for a moment. Since he was already here, he thought he might as well take a look at Shailene’s face.

“Could you please call Shailene?”

He asked Paul, who was waiting to see him off, and Paul smiled and answered.

“Miss Shailene is currently taking a walk in the garden. I think you can just go and see her.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“you’re welcome.”

Kylean nodded with a faint smile, then walked in the direction Paul had pointed.

As I entered the garden, it didn’t take long for a familiar back figure to appear.

Silver hair that sparkled mysteriously in the sunlight, blue eyes beneath long eyelashes that fell like butterflies.

A small, white face was looking down at the flowers with a subtly depressed expression.

“Shailene.”

“… … ?”

Shailene slowly turned her head at the soft call. Soon her eyes widened.

“… … Karl? What are you doing here?”

“I have something to discuss with Duke and Duchess of Diat. What are you looking at?”

“Oh, just… … .”

Shailene trailed off vaguely. Kaylan walked over to her and gazed at the flowers blooming brightly together.

“It’s pretty.”

“Really? Should I bend it a bit and give it to you?”

“No, that’s not it.”

Shaylin looked at Kylan at those words, smiled slightly, and then looked forward again.

There was a moment of silence. Shailene, who had been thinking hard about something, finally opened her mouth with a solemn expression.

“Actually, I was going to send you a letter asking to meet up.”

“why?”

“Now… …I want to give you an answer to your confession.”

Kylan’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer. He straightened his back without realizing it as the tension that suddenly came over him.

I was more nervous than when I heard the heresy information from Bartholomew and Benjamin.

“Speak. I’m ready to listen.”

“… … I really appreciate that you like me.”

Shailene opened her trembling lips and spoke calmly. Her fingers gripping her dress tightened.

From the moment I promised to answer your confession, I had decided to refuse.

Because I don’t want to play with someone’s feelings anymore.

Even if my feelings for Kylan were real, I didn’t want to hurt him by accepting his feelings for the sake of the mission.

I didn’t care if I got some kind of penalty for this.

“But I don’t think I can accept your feelings. I’m sorry.”

Shaylin tried her best to act as if nothing had happened and refused, but she couldn’t meet Kaylan’s gaze, so she lowered her head like a sinner.

Kylan, who had been staring at her with an unreadable expression, asked in a calm voice.

“Can I ask why?”

* * *

I kept rubbing the sweat on my palms against my clothes, trying to keep a calm expression on my face.

I recited the words I had prepared to Carl, who asked me the reason for my refusal.

“You’re just a good friend to me. I never thought of you that way.”

This might hurt Carl’s pride a little, but he won’t have to search for me like in my dreams.

Even if he was angry, I was prepared to accept it humbly, but Karl asked questions in the same tone and tone of voice as usual.

“Really? Then you’ve never felt excited when you saw me?”

“… … No. I’ve never felt like a man to you.”

As he made up his mind to strike with venom, the lips of the sword were tightly shut.

I’m sorry I lied. But I couldn’t help it. It’s all for you.

He stared at me intently, then sighed deeply and shook his head.

“I don’t know why you tell such lies.”

“No, I’m not lying. I’m serious… …!”

“Shailene.”

A low voice called me firmly. A few steps away, a pair of feet suddenly invaded my vision as I looked down at the floor.

He quickly closed the distance between us and came closer, gently cupping my cheek.

“Then look me in the eye and tell me straight up that you don’t like me.”

“… … I never said I didn’t like you. I just don’t feel the same way as you.”

I answered, stubbornly avoiding eye contact. Then Carl followed me, lowering his head and narrowing his brows.

“That’s a lie.”

“How can you be sure of that?”

“Because I like you.”

The words spoken plainly pierced my heart.

Carl, who was forced to face my face, whose tip of my nose was naturally tingling, said:

“You always check without missing a single little thing. That’s why I can tell. The way your eyes change when you see me.”

His fingers gently swept over my eyes and down.

“Your smile towards me.”

“… … .”

“I know that in your voice as you call me, I can hear the same affection I feel for you.”

My skin felt hot at the feeling of my thumb brushing across my lower lip.

I looked up at him with wavering eyes and tried to keep my voice cold.

“… … You’re mistaken. I’m not who you think I am in the first place.”

“Is that what scares you so much?”

But the sword did not back down easily. It continued to dig sharply into the truth.

“Are you running away because you’re afraid of disappointing me?”

“… … .”

“Then think again. I won’t be disappointed in you, no matter who you are.”
