“Holy-Sama… it is really good that you are safe…” (Wilfred)

“Thank you very much. I always believed that Your Highness Wilfred would come and save me…” (Christia)

Yes, it is me, Harold. Right now I am watching this farce called Wilfred and Christia flirting with my eyes rolled back, along with Xandra. As for Lorenzo, the story is that he tried to kidnap the Saintess, but when he realized that Wilfred and his group were approaching this warehouse, he had no choice but to leave the Saintess behind and flee. The kingdom, unaware of this, is desperately searching.

“Honestly… it was good that Wilfred was the first to notice that the Saintess-sama was gone and decipher the coded message that was left behind. If he had made a mistake, it could have easily led to a conflict with the Holy Kingdom…” (Cardis)

Cardis, pale in face, sighed in relief and shook his head. However, Cardis’ gaze at Wilfred became somewhat lukewarm, which probably meant that the protagonist’s evaluation by this man had shot up.

How funny. Oh, of course, the coded message was something we had prepared in advance. I asked Xandra to quietly drop it on the floor once we realized Christia had been kidnapped. While Wilfred was busy decoding the message, Xandra joined us.

What did the code say? I don’t know the details because I left it up to Xandra, but it took a while for them to get to the warehouse, so I imagine it was pretty tricky. I’ll ask her later.

“And yet you left Saintess-sama alone and went somewhere. People like you are a disgrace to the royal family.” (Cardis)
“…” (Wilfred)

Wow, ever since I left Cardis’ faction, he stopped holding back the way he talks to me. Still, this is probably what he really thinks of me. But honestly, Wilfred didn’t even notice Christia was gone. Shouldn’t he be called just as hard? That would be fair, right?
But no matter what I say, they always find excuses to criticize me.

“Now… Saintess-sama, if you stay here too long, Lorenzo might come back for you. Please don’t ever let go of my hand.” (Wilfred)

“Yes, please.” (Christia)

Sigh. I can’t watch this anymore. Let’s leave this to Wilfred and get back to the royal palace quickly.

“Xandra?” (Harold)

“Hehe, well done. As expected, you are a truly amazing person.” (Alexandra)

“Aha.” (Harold)

Well, I think the fact that Xandra’s rating from me went up because of this incident is the best outcome. With this, once the main story of ‘Enhaz’ starts, there will be no broken engagement events, right? Right?

After we got back to the Royal Palace, Lorenzo Salvatori was declared a wanted criminal throughout the kingdom by order of King Eibar. It seemed that the kingdom wanted to gain the trust of the Baltic Holy Kingdom by showing that they were fully handling the situation instead of covering up the incident.

Well, since he’s already turned to ashes, he’ll never be found. Wait, now that I think about it, won’t the kingdom be labeled as incompetent since they’ll never catch the culprit?

Incidentally, Wilfred was hailed as a hero who prevented the abduction of Saintess Christia in the capital. King Eibar, after hearing the details of the incident, was particularly pleased and seemed to want to put Wilfred on a pedestal.

“Well, things have really escalated, haven’t they?” (Harold)

And so at that moment I was drinking tea with Christia. Xandra and Carla were there of course.

“Hehe… I never expected His Majesty the King to do something like that. It was totally unforeseen.” (Christia)

Christia held her hand over her mouth and chuckled, but her emerald eyes were not laughing, but rather full of anger.

Well, I can understand her anger. As much as they want to elevate Wilfred, they even made up a romance with Christia.

“But since you have treated Wilfred this way since you came to the kingdom, isn’t it inevitable that some will misunderstand you?” (Harold)

“…As for me, I just found him easy to get along with.” (Christia)

So Christia sees Wilfred as an ‘easily manipulated fool who mistakenly thinks he is brilliant’. While he may have some talent in personal strength, she thinks his self-esteem and vanity are high, and that he is not smart at the very least. A pretty harsh assessment.

“Isn’t that exactly what he deserves? If you want, I can put all my effort into making sure you’re really tied to that scum.” (Alexandra)

“!? T-that… can you please forgive me already…?” (Christia)

Christia’s face turned pale as she met Xandra’s gaze, which was as cold as absolute zero. That said, it was truly what she deserved.

“Hehe… thanks for taking the time to come here.” (Christia)

“…” (Harold)

As soon as my match with Carla was over and I was back in my room, one of the priests came by and called me rudely. Although it was annoying, as a host I couldn’t just refuse. Despite the somewhat rude attitude of the priest, I still came here.

“Actually, I have a favor to ask of Your Highness Harold… If you accept, as a Saint, I would be more than willing to guarantee you a more comfortable environment within the kingdom.” (Christia)

“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you’re saying.” (Harold)

“Hehe. We know your position within the kingdom, as the ‘incompetent bratty prince’ that you are.” (Christia)

This comment struck a chord with my favorite fiancé.

“Your countless insults against my Haru-sama deserve a thousand deaths.” (Alexandra)
