If the truth that the Missing Saintess Party attempted to resurrect Death’s Disaster got revealed, the public, who had been worshiping the Creator Deity, would be swept away in rage and chaos.
It must not be known.
The higher-ups of the Holy Kingdom decided to thoroughly conceal the truth.
“You guys have been hunting down the remnants of the Demon King’s Army in the Abyss all this time. The moment we received intel that the Second Demon King had been born, you sprang into action without hesitation.”
“The Second Demon King? How clichéd and pathetic as an excuse.”
Sirelle explained the alibi prepared by the Holy Kingdom for the Saintess Party.
Maximilian shrugged with a snicker.
“Shut up! It’s all because of you scoundrels!”
To brush off the public’s suspicions, a lie to explain their recent activities was needed.
The Second Demon King.
The Holy Kingdom decided to fabricate a fictional existence to deceive the masses.
As Maximilian furrowed his brow with a cautious reaction, Sirelle shot him a silent threat. He nodded, accepting it.
“For now, stay hidden at the Marquisate of Hohenberg until the Holy Kingdom calms the public’s doubts! Be especially careful with every little move you make to avoid unnecessary noise!”
“Understood.”
“Probably in about six months, the public will lose interest. So just endure for half a year.”
“……”
Half a year.
It was enough time to turn black into white.
Interest would surely fade.
Suspicions and doubts would diminish as time passed.
The Holy Kingdom had ordered the Saintess Party to hide at the Marquisate of Hohenberg during this time.
“The sage Madbay is to be an exception. The Magic Tower will decide on the issue of his health. The Master of the Magic Tower is also aware of the severity of the situation and wouldn’t recklessly disclose the incident.”
“Right, it’s related to Beatrice’s safety, after all.”
Beatrice.
When Maximilian uttered the name of the Second Saintess, Sirelle’s face twisted in horror.
“You’ve suffered all kinds of dangers because of that woman, and you still say such things? It’s insanity. That’s borderline crazy.”
“Hmm… You’re not wrong.”
To seal away Beatrice and her companions, who had fallen into a cursed existence, Maximilian used the lifespan granted to him.
The resulting aftermath was utterly tragic.
Five years.
The time given in the future was a maximum of five years.
He had only hinted this to his disciple.
Beatrice and Edanant were still unaware.
“Why am I getting angry? It’s her own life she’s throwing away.”
Sirelle threw a stack of documents onto Maximilian’s desk and stood up.
And headed toward the exit.
“Anyway, the so-called great hero who’s losing his mind should do his best during the rest of his life.”
Thud-.
The door slammed shut violently, expressing the divide.
Maximilian, left alone in the office, sighed deeply as he gazed out the window.
*
The ex-girlfriend of the man she promised to marry.
No,
It’s not even a relationship that could be described as ‘girlfriend’….
The glances filled with suspicion and jealousy from the Red Dragon and White Dragon were directed at Beatrice.
The beautiful Saintess, with bright pink hair like peonies, was playing with the little Luinongs, who were following her with motherly affection. The sense of crisis felt by the Red Dragon and White Dragon deepened even further at the sight of Beatrice enjoying herself.
‘Didn’t she undergo her coming-of-age ceremony last year…? Truly, as reported, she’s a striking beauty.’
Her pure white cheeks were stained with peach-colored blush.
Her lips were full and glossy like ripe fruit.
It was as if the charming qualities of a lovely lady were all combined into one. Even the fresh charm overflowing from Beatrice made Ludmilla feel a sense of defeat.
‘Tch, she’s gotten even bustier since I saw her last year…! Did all that faith go straight to her chest!’
With every step, her faith and maternal allure swayed up and down.
Big.
And bouncy.
The greedy holy bosom, unsatisfied, threatened Zebeline, who had unfortunately finished her growth period.
Moreover, Beatrice was a beauty with childbearing hips, embodying the essence of motherhood passed down from the Earth Mother, possessing a slim waist, strong thighs, and a large, beautiful backside.
‘How can the Saintess of the Holy Kingdom have such a lewd body! The world is ending!’
‘Even though she’s a Saintess, why is she so different? This isn’t fair! It’s blatant favoritism! I’ll curse you, Earth Mother Gael!’
Is she a Sacred Virgin?
Or a Sex Crazed Woman?
The Saintess’s divine beauty, seemingly molded from the goddess’s sacred form, engulfed the Red Dragon and White Dragon in insecurity, worrying they might lose their beloved man.
“What the hell, who do you think you are playing with our kids?”
While the Saintess was playing with the children, the villainous princess with enticing blonde hair approached, frowning fiercely.
The pretty princess is angry!
Startled, the Luinongs scattered left and right at Elizaveta’s curt voice.
“I was just playing with the kids because they’re adorable, Your Highness Elizaveta.”
“Hmph, our Luinongs are cute, aren’t they?”
The main character of this romance fantasy faced off against the villainous princess.
The man who was standing with the villainous princess broke into a cold sweat.
“Edan, I feel too sorry to keep you as a guest… Is there any way I can help?”
“Um…. I’m not sure.”
It wouldn’t do to assign household chores to the Second Saintess of the Holy Kingdom.
Edanant hesitated to answer, citing that it was “too much of an honor for a Saintess.”
Though he was casually assigning petty errands and even flirting with the heavenly Seraph, entrusting household matters to the Second Saintess seemed uncomfortable to him.
“Just make yourself comfortable. Who would dare scold the Second Saintess of the Holy Kingdom? If the rumor spreads that the Hohenberg family assigned troublesome tasks to her, the Holy Knights will come pouring in like a swarm.”
“Hehe, got it, Edan.”
Beatrice replied with a bright smile.
Just then, the penetrating gazes from Ludmilla, Zebeline, and Elizaveta shot toward Edanant.

Did Edanant’s joke turn into fake news and reach the Holy Kingdom?
The Holy Knights arrived.
More than 500 troops from the Holy Kingdom.
The soldiers with the Holy Kingdom’s emblem and shining full plate armor radiated a brilliant luster. The servants of the Hohenberg family trembled in fear as they faced the overwhelming might.
“Your Majesty!”
A sun-kissed face proving his southern origins.
The simple robes of vestments.
A necklace adorned with a rosary carved from wood.
Boerun.
The ruler of the Holy Kingdom had paid a visit to the Marquisate of Hohenberg.
It seemed that this sudden visit had been poorly prepared. However, Boerun didn’t care about lavish ceremonies, so he didn’t mind at all.
“Be, Beatrice…!”
Upon receiving news that his daughter had returned safely, Boerun immediately visited the Marquisate, setting aside everything else. Knowing that his daughter had been missing and was in mortal peril, a fierce joy and relief coexisted on the monarch’s tanned face.
She’s back.
She returned safely.
He worried if she might have been seriously hurt, but it turned out to be an unnecessary concern. The beautiful Saintess, with her delicate pink hair, was in better health than ever.
“Father! I really missed you…!”
The monarch and the Saintess embraced each other, sharing a tearful reunion.
The Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom, witnessing the spectacle, smiled warmly, rejoicing.
“I’ve caused you so much trouble, dear father, because of me, the foolish daughter! I’m so sorry. Truly sorry, father…!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay…! Just you being safe is enough. The merciful Earth Mother must have helped.”
Why isn’t that blasted Creator Deity showing up?
I’m the one who got beaten up trying to save the Saintess!
Edanant, watching the reunion from a distance, muttered to himself.
At that moment, Ludmilla and Zebeline, who were on either side, poked Edanant’s side with their elbows.
“Lord Edanant. I’ve heard you saved our daughter. We owe you an insurmountable debt.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Isn’t it a common fairy tale cliché where the king gives his blessing to marry the beautiful princess he rescued from the Demon King’s Castle, resulting in a happy ending?
Should I ask for a daughter?
No,
I decided to skip it, frightened of the jealousy of the Red Dragon and White Dragon.
Moreover, weren’t there gentlemen ardently in love with the Saintess? If I jokingly said such a thing, I would be chased for life by the Saintess Party.
“Your Majesty, I will explain the events that have taken place in detail in the Reception Room. The simpletons of the Saintess Party must also be waiting for your arrival.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Afterward, Boerun exchanged a few words with Ludmilla and Zebeline and headed toward the villa’s reception room, following Edanant alongside his daughter.

As the monarch moved, about ten Holy Knights also followed suit.
Confirming them as the guardian knights representing the Holy Kingdom, Edanant nodded and allowed them entry.
